Though variously placed between 2300BC and 1700BC, Abraham's date is generally recognized as about 2000BC. When Abraham returned from Egypt he settled in Beth-el. Now Beth-el is approximately 17 kilometres north of Salem(Jerusalem). Genesis 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: Genesis 13:15 For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to you family members forever. Clearly the first book of Pentateuch, Genesis, acknowledges that the land of Israel was given to Abraham, the Hebrew. You should know that Allah did not speak to Muhammad until 610AD. Even though, Muslims believe that Israel belongs to them, it belonged to the Hebrews (Jews) for 2600 years and forever.
