MUSLIMS FROM THE LOST TRIBES

OF ISRAEL

THEPATHANS /PASHTUN /PAKHTUN /AFGHAN OF AFGHANISTAN &

PAKISTAN ARE THE CHILDERN OF PROPHET YAQUB (ISRAEL) AND
PROPHET ISHAQ (ISAAC) Alay Hay Salam

Quran tells the 2 Divisions of

Progeny of Prophet Ishaq
037.113 ‫ﻦ َوﻇَﺎ ِﻟ ٌﻢ‬
ٌ ِ‫ﺤﺴ‬
ْ ‫ﻦ ُذ ِّر َّﻳ ِﺘ ِﻬﻤَﺎ ُﻣ‬
ْ ‫ق َو ِﻣ‬ َ ‫ﺳﺤَﺎ‬
ْ ‫ﻋ َﻠ ْﻴ ِﻪ وَﻋَﻠَﻰ ِإ‬

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some)
that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their
own souls.
We see that Quran clearly tells a about the Division of Bani Isaaq in two groups
i.e Muslims and Non Muslims. Now there are total 12 tribes amongst Bani Isaaq
or Bani Israel ( Israel is son of Isaaq) and who are Non Muslims i.e the JEWS.

Now if the 2 tribes are all Non Muslims i.e Jews no matter they belong to any
country they are all Jews, Now if we check Hadith we get a hint that
the lost tribes of Bani Isaaq are Muslims:

Dear Prophet Muhammad (salallaho alayhay wa sallam)clearly

described an Army of Muslims having large number of
Muslims i.e 70 thousand men(in Ahadith the word 70 refers to
a large majority) from Bani Isaaq that will stand against Dajjal
(Exact wording from Reference Book 041, Number 6979: Saheh Muslim ).

Amongst Muslims only the Pathan or Pashtun or Pakhtun or Ethnic Afghan

are claimed to be amongst the 10 lost tribes of Israel.

Pashtuns are an ethnic/religious group of people, living primarily in Afghanistan,

Pakistan, who speak Pashto or Pakhto language and indigenous religion. The
Pashtuns are the world's largest patriarchal tribal group in existence. The total
population of the group is estimated at 52 million.
 Pathans are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.Infact the word Afghan is
synonymous to Pashtun as told in the following reference:

The word Afghan ... first appears in history in the Hudud-al-Alam, a work by an
Arab geographer who wrote in 982 A.D." Until the advent of the modern Afghan
state in the 18th century, the word Afghan has been synonymous with
Pashtun.

Its a pity how the West change history inorder to hide the elemination of Pathans in
Afghanistan.They even changed the meaning of the word Afghan which always meant the PATHANS
or PASHTUNS.This is admitted in Encarta.

Until the term Afghan came to mean any native of Afghanistan, Pashtuns were
called Afghans.

(http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761587080/Pashtuns.html)

The theory that the Pashtun or "ethnic Afghan"s are descended from the
ancient Israelites—more precisely, from the perspective of Jewish history
the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel— has a longstanding basis as a tradition
among the Pashtun themselves, was widely accepted by 19th century
British scholars, and has been accepted by some reasonably recent and
prominent individuals such as Itzhak Ben-Zvi, second President of Israel.

THE CLAIM BY THE PATHANS AS BEING FROM BANI

ISRAEL IS NOT JUST ORAL TRADITION
The claim of Afghans to be the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) is not
founded on oral tradition alone. It is supported by ancient
monuments, old inscriptions, manuscripts, and historical works,
many in the public domain, and many others in private collections.

WRITTEN REFERENCES OLDER THAN

1000 YEARS TELLS THE TRUTH
Apart from our own reference ,the oldest written reference we find is HUDUD-AL-
ALAM written in 982AD by an Arab Geographer which clearly tells that PATHANS
are not from ARAYANs but from BANI ISRAEL(infact he never mentioned the word
ARAYAN)

Also the word Afghan ... first appears in history in the Hudud-al-Alam and infact
until the advent of the modern Afghan state in the 18th century, the word Afghan
has been synonymous with Pashtun.

Now in moderen times some of the Western Historians tell us that the Pathans are
from the ARYANS and deny the ancient claim of the Pashtuns that they belong to
 the Lost tribes of Israel.This doesnt make any sense that someone from outside
deny the claim of a whole Nation

ONE EXAMPLE OF A 700 YEAR OLD REFERENCE

TELLING DETAILS ABOUT PATHANS ORIGIN
One of the most ancient manuscripts available is Rauza ul Albab fi
Tawarikh-ul-Akabir wal Ansab – The Garden of the Learned in the
History of Great Men and Genealogies – by Abu Suleman Daud bin Abul
Fazal Muhammad Albenaketi which was written in 1317 AD. The author in his
Introduction explains that ever since the times of Moses the ancestors of Afghans
have had to face great hardships. They were expelled from place to place and
exterminated. Their ancient ancestors were sacked more than once and carried
into captivity. In Chapter I a detailed history of Yaqub (Jacob) is given and in
Chapter II the genealogies of the Afghan tribes are further traced.

SUDDEN TWIST OF OPINIONS BY THE SO

CALLED WESTERN HITORIANS
All the British Scholars in the 19th century never mentioned that
Pathans are Aryans. Then suddenly some so called historians of the
modern times in West claimed that Pathans/Pashtuns/Pakhtuns are
Aryans and denied the claim of the Pathans of being from the Lost
Tribes of Israel. One Un Biased Writer has said: "The Europeans always
confuse things, when they consider the fact that the Afghans call
themselves Bani Israel and yet reject their Jewish descent. Indeed, the
Afghans discard the very idea of any descent from the Jews. They,
however, yet claim themselves to be of Bani Israel." [Thomas Ledlie, More
Ledlian, Calcutta Review, January, 1898]
If Pathans are ARAYANs then so are the MARHATAS or The BERHAMAN
Hindus, The Kashmiri Hindu Pandits, The Punjabi Arain Caste,The Jatt
cast of Punajab, the Germans and so many numrous castes......it
makes a strange situation when we say That Ahmad Shah Abdali was
Fighting with the Pathans who were non Muslims i.e the MARHATAS....
It doesnt make sense since the Physical n Facial features of Pathans
are entirely different from the Marhatas and PunjabisThese are all
wrong claims put forward by some modern writers .The fact is that if
Pathan's forfather have always called themselves as from the Childern
of Prophet Israel then how come some modern day Western Writers
deny this fact
The real intention is only to change the meaning of ahadith which lead
to the fact of Pathans being the Bani Israelis...u can find many
references about this at
http://muslimisraelis.googlepages.com/home
 The declaration of saying that PATHANS are Aryans come from
some modern days writers of the WEST and NOT FROM A SINGLE
REFERENCE OF THE PAST or FROM THE REFERENCES OF OUR
OWN FORFATHERS

It is a pity that we follow the reference of the people who were in dark ages
for a thousand years (from 400 AD to 1400 AD),who had lost all sources of
knowledge, history and culture in these 1000 years of darkness and who
developed when they interacted with the Muslims in the Crusades which
they never admit this .According to Quran ,Sura Al-Hujurat, verse No=6

49/6

O you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look carefully
into it,…

This verse tells us to be careful from the reports of the non believers

The WEST tell us that the Pathans are from the ARYANS and deny the
ancient claim of the Pashtuns that they belong to the Lost tribes of Israel.Its
a funny thing to call Pasthuns as Arayans as the PUNJABI people, The
Kashmiris and so many ethnic groups in India belong to the ARYANS and
they have nothing in common with the Pathans. May Allah guide us all
amen(allahuma salay ala Muhammad).

THE PROOF
Let us prove the fact first by the ahadith of Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay
wa sallam)

PROOF IN AHADITH OF DEAR PROPHET MUHAMMAD

(Salallaho alayhay wa sallam)
According to Ahadith the main signs of the majority of the Muslims (and the first
followers) of the forces of Imam Mahdi are the following.
1. They will come from the East
2. They will come from the historical geographical region of Ancient Khorasan.
3. They will be from a mighty warrior nation.
4. They will be from a poor Nation.
 5. They are from a place with cold climate.
6. They will be from the race of Bani Ishaq/Al-e-Haroon/Bani-Israel or Nation of
….liberated slaves (They all have the same meaning)
Now which race among the Muslims have all these 6 Signs?
The Pathans living inAfghanistan and Pakistan have all
these 6 signs because:
1. They live in the East.
2. They are the only people among Muslims considered to be among the lost
tribes of Israel i.e from Bani Israel/Bani Ishaq/Al e Haroon /Nation of liberated
slaves.
3. They live in the region of ancient Khorasan.
4. They belong to very poor nation.
5. They are considered to be a fierce Warrior Race.
6. They are from a place with cold climate.
FOR REFERENCE AND PROOF IN AHADITH ABOUT THESE ABOVE SIX SIGNS
VISIT
MUSLIM ARMY OF JESUS & MAHDI & THEIR 6 SIGNS
Now the Ahadith are telling that in the East , in the Historical Region of
Khorasan,in the cold mountainous climate there exists a Warrior Race which
belong to the family of Propher Ishaq (Isaq)Alayhay Salam who is the father of
Prophet Jacob or Israel (Alayhay Salam).
This proves that the Pathans are from the Lost Tribes of Israel and no other
Nation is pointed out in these references from the Ahadith

PLACES OF EXILE
In the he biblical Book Isaiah it is said :

Isaiah 11:11-12 :and he will raise a Banner to the Gentiles and will gather the
banished of Israel ,and the dispersed of Judah will he bring together from the four
corners of the earth".

The places of exile of the lost tribes also mentioned in the books also point out
the present day Afghanistan

The Locations of the Exile. Other locations mentioned as placed of exile were the
river Gozan, Habor, . Halah or Lahlah, and Hara. (Ref:Kings II,17 and 18;
Chronicles 1,5).

Also check in Chronicles 5:26 at http://bible.cc/1_chronicles/5-26.htm

“The God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit
of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the
Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought
them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this
day.”
Where are these places of Exile?
According to Saadia Gaon, “ River Gozan ” is the river north of the city of
Balach in the north of Afghanistan. The river is known today as the “ Amu
Darya ”, and is the border between Afghanistan and Russia. Afghanistan
tradition states that the whole river was once known as the Gozen River.

“Habor” is located in the pass between Afghanistan and Pakistan , and is

called Pesh-Habor in Afghani (Pesh means Pass) after the city of the pass.
The city is known today as Peshawar.

“Hara” is the city of Harat near the Persian border. It is the third largest city
in Afghanistan . The prophecy of Isaiah states that the exile will bring the
tribes to the land of Sinim”:

“Behold , these shall come from far, and , lo, these from the north and
from the west, and these from the land of Sinim “( Isaiah 49:12) .

This implies that the exile may have started

CLOTHES LIKE CHILDERN OF

ISRAEL
Narrated Hazrat Umama reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
said: You and the Romans(Christians) will have four peace treaties *4. The
fourth peace would be at the hand of a person who would be from the Al-e-
Haroon( family of Prophet Haroon).This peace treaty would be for seven
years. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was asked who would be
the Imam of the Muslims at that time. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam) said” That person would be from my family,his age would be 40
years ,his face would be bright as a start and a black spot would be on his
right cheek.He would be wearing two Qutwani Cloaks.He will appear
exactly as the person from Bani Israeel. He will rule for 20 years and will
conquer the cities of the Mushrikeen(Idolaters)_Ref: Kanz-ul-Aamal, Page
268, Hadith No 3868).________________________________
WHAT IS MEANT BY QUTWANI CLOAKS ?
According to the reference of the kafirs i.e Britannica 1997 :Qutwani cloaks
resembles the "TALLIT" of present day as called by the Israelis.Both
Qutwani cloak and TALLIT have fringes (tzitzit) on borders and its mostly
made of Wool.. It generally falls across the head, neck, and shoulders.
However the Qutwani cloak is larger and more conspicuous prayer shawl
than the Tallit.
Now according to the Hadith there are “Two” Qutwani cloaks mentioned
and are made of Wool (as many scholars described it ) and are wrapped
around the body.Qutwani cloak is exactly like the cloaks worn by the
Pashtoons of Afghanistan and Pakistan and its also worn in the same way
like the Qutwani cloak described in the hadith and its explanation.
The Pashtuns wrap these cloak around them to protect them from
cold weather and they have fringes on the borders.Infact these
cloaks are often the necessary part of the Pashtun dress (In Contrast
to the present day jews who wear the so called Tziitzit as a symbol
and which are much smaller to be wrapped around the body.infact it
has just become a something to show off by jews and not essential
part of dress).
The above mentioned hadith telling that Imam Mahdi would be from
the family of Dear Prophet (salallaho alayhay wa sallam) but would
NOT look like Dear Prophet(salallaho alayhay wa sallam) in
appearance clearly tells that Mahdi will not be living among the
Arabs .His appearance described as wearing Qutwani cloaks and
looking like a person from Bani Israel shows that he must have been
living among the Pathans for a long time and therefore IMAM MAHDI
would be dressed also like the Pathans.
 The Arabs Do not wrap cloaks around them like this and also their
cloaks never have fringes and are not made of wool because is not
so cold in middle east

THE UN-RELIABLE SOURCES OF

INFORMATION
According to Quran ,Sura Al-Hujurat, verse No=6 (The following are
three translations of the verse.)

49/6

YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with

any news, ascertain the truth….
 PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings, verify
it……

SHAKIR: O you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with a

report, look carefully into it,…

The tragedy is that now majority of the world believes in the news,
history and other reports that come from the Kafirs of the West and is
accepted with the eyes closed with no investigation as the Quran tells
us to do so. Priority is given to the reference of those people who had
been in dark ages for one thousand years in which they lost all their
own knowledge and culture.They started learning was in the 1400
A.Ds after their interaction with the Muslims in the Crusades. A Kafir
from the West would tell us the History of India and we will put aside
our own written history . Maybe inferiority complex(for no reason) is
the cause of such folly. It is for that reason, such unreliable resources
are as much avoided as possible in this essay

HISTORY CONCEALED
Its not amazing that so called famous historians of the west like
Sir Olaf Carou,("The Pathans” St. Martin's Press - New York 1958)
and Mr.Frizer Tiller,("The Afghanistan") have intentionally tried to deviate
the readers from the true origin of Pashtoons.Like for instance all the
above writers shows their :”innocence” and “ignorance” over the true
origin of the word “PATHAN”. All these are Christian writers and they have
intentionally skipped the fact that the word Pathan is of Israeli origin as
clearly written in the CHRONILCES-II that the Great grandson of King Saul
and grandson of Jonathon was called PETHAN.
Even Mr.Olaf Carou, in his book, is very much confused about the origin of
the word Pathan and gives his own stupid ideas about this word and not
mentioning the Chronicles-II at all. This is what we call Historical Forgery
which the West have a Mastery.
Also they have skipped the fact that was the name of the grandson of KING
SAUL was called AFGHANA..
Also these liars never motioned that the name of the second son of Levi and father of
Amram was called KOHAT (Ref: Gen. 46:11) and its also the name of a famous
city in the Pathan area of Pakistan.
LETS ASK ALLAH TO SAVE US FROM THE LIES AND FRAUD OF THESE
DECEIVING WESTERN HISTORIANS AND MAY WE NEVER TRUST THIER
REFERENCES .AMEEN.

Note:Definition of Cronicles:Also called (in early Roman Catholic translation

into English) PARALIPOMENON I AND II, two Old Testament books that were
 originally part of a larger work that included the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. These
three (Ezra and Nehemiah were one book in the Jewish canon) were the final books
of the Hebrew Bible.

WHY THE MODERN SO CALLED WESTERN

HISTORIANS ARE BENT ON DENYING THE CLAIM OF
PATHANS?
.The reason is only to distort the meaning of ahadith where
among Muslims people from the family of Prophet Ishaq
(alayhay salam) and Prophet Yaqub or Israel (Alayhay salam) are
told to be living in the East in the Historical region of Khorasan

OTHER.HISTORICAL
REFRERENCES
The claim of Afghans to be the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) is not
founded on oral tradition alone. It is supported by ancient
monuments, old inscriptions, manuscripts, and historical works,
many in the public domain, and many others in private collections. Of
recent report is the 12th century Hebrew cemetery a mile and a half
from the base of the Tower of Jam in the middle of a very desolate
region of Western Afghanistan. [New York Times Magazine, 42, Aug.
25, 2002]

One of the most ancient manuscripts available is Rauza ul Albab fi

Tawarikh-ul-Akabir wal Ansab – The Garden of the Learned in the
History of Great Men and Genealogies – by Abu Suleman Daud bin
Abul Fazal Muhammad Albenaketi which was written in 1317 A.D. The
author in his Introduction explains that ever since the times of Moses
the ancestors of Afghans have had to face great hardships. They were
expelled from place to place and exterminated. Their ancient
ancestors were sacked more than once and carried into captivity. In
Chapter I a detailed history of Yacub (Jacob) is given and in Chapter II
the genealogies of the Afghan tribes are further traced.

Bukhtawar Khan in his most valuable universal history Mirat-ul-Alam

– The Mirror of the World – gives a vivid account of the journeys of
the Afghans from the Holy Land to Ghor, Ghazni, and Kabul. Similarly
Hafiz Rahmat bin Shah Alam in his Khulasat-ul-Ansab and Fareed-ud-
Din Ahmad in Risala-i-Ansab-i-Afghana provide the history of the
Afghans and deal with their genealogies.

Two of the most famous historical works on the subject are Tarikh-i-
Afghana – History of the Afghans – by Niamatullah, which was
translated by Bernard Dork in 1829, and Tarikh-i-Hafiz Rahmatkhani,
by Hafiz Muhammad Zadeek which he wrote in 1770. These books
deal with the early history of the Afghans, their origin and wanderings
in general. They particularly discuss the Yusuf Zyes (the Yusefzai,
"Sons of Joseph") and their occupation of Kabul, Bajoor, Swat, and
Peshawar.

Additional authors Syed Jalal-ud-Din Afghani (Tarikh-i-Afghana /

History of Afghans), and Syed Abdul Jabbar Shah (Mun'ameen-i-Bani
Israel, MS.), ex-Ruler of Swat, deserve to be mentioned. Both these
writers discuss the question exhaustively and come to the conclusion
that the Afghans represent the Lost Tribes of Israel as viewed from
the perspective of the Jewish/Western world.

If we turn to Anglo-Western writers during the time of the British

Empire we find that they also have come to the same conclusion. The
first to reach such is Henry Vansittart. In a letter which appeared in
Indian Researches he commented on the Israelitis descent of the
Afghans. He expressed the opinion that the claim of the Afghans to be
Bani Israel are more than justified given his own observations of their
indigenous traditions. [Indian Researches, 1788, Vol. 2: 69]

Sir Alexander Brunes in his Travels into Bokhara, which he published

in 1835, speaking of the Afghans said: "The Afghans call themselves
Bani Israel, or the children of Israel, but consider the term Yahoodi, or
Jew, to be one of reproach. They say that Nebuchadnezzar, after the
overthrow of Israel, transplanted them into the towns of Ghore near
Bamean and that they were called after their Chief Afghana... they say
that they lived as Israelites till Khalid summoned them in the first
century of the Mohammadans... Having precisely stated the traditions
and history of the Afghans I see no good reason for discrediting
them... the Afghans look like Jews and the younger brother marries
the widow of the elder. The Afghans entertain strong prejudices
against the Jewish nation, which would at least show that they have
no desire to claim – without just cause – a descent from them. [Sir
Alexander Brunes, Travels into Bokhara, Vol. 2:139-141.]

Brunes was again in 1837 sent as the first British Envoy to the Court
of Kabul. For some time he was the guest of King Dost Muhammad
Khan. He questioned the King about the descent of the Afghans from
the Israelites. The King replied that "his people had no doubt of that,
though they repudiated the idea of being Jews".

William Moorcroft traveled during 1819 to 1825 through various

countries adjoining India, including Afghanistan. "The Khaibarees,"
he says, "are tall and have a singularly Jewish cast of features." At
Push Kyun, within Afghan territory, he came across a very old copy of
the Old Testament in Hebrew. [Moorcroft, Travels in Himalayan
Provinces of Hindustan and the Punjab; in Ladakh and Kashmir, in
Peshawar, Kabul, Kunduz and Bokhara, 12]

J.B. Frazer in his book, An Historical and Descriptive Account of

Persia and Afghanistan, which he published in 1843, says: "According
to their own tradition they believe themselves to be descendants from
the [Hebrews]...they preserved the purity of their religion until they
met with Islam." [J.B. Frazer, A Historical and Descriptive Account of
Persia and Afghanistan, 298]

J.P. Ferrier wrote his History of the Afghans in 1858. It was translated
by Capt. W. M. Jesse. He too was disposed to believe that the Afghans
represented the Ten Tribes of Israel. In support of his view he
recorded, among others, a very significant fact: “When Nadir Shah
marching to the conquest of India arrived at Peshawar, the chief of the
tribe of Yoosoof Zyes (Sons of Joseph) presented him with a Bible
written in Hebrew and several other articles that had been used in
their ancient worship and which they had preserved. These articles
were at once recognized by the Jews who followed the camp.” – J.P.
Ferrier, History of the Afghans, 4.

George Moore published his famous work The Lost Tribes in 1861. He
gave numerous facts to prove that these tribes are traceable to the
Afghans. After giving details of the character of the wandering
Israelites, he said: "And we find that the very natural character of
Israel reappear in all its life and reality in countries where people call
themselves Bani Israel and universally claim to be the descendants of
the Lost Tribes. The nomenclature of their tribes and districts, both in
ancient Geography, and at the present day, confirms this universal
natural tradition. Lastly, we have the route of the Israelites from Media
to Afghanistan and India marked by a series of intermediate stations
bearing the names of several of the tribes and clearly indicating the
stages of their long and arduous journey." [George Moore, The Lost
Tribes]

Moore goes on to say: "Sir William Jones, Sir John Malcolm and the
missing Chamberlain, after full investigation, were of the opinion that
the Ten Tribes migrated to India, Tibet, and Cashemire [Kashmir]
through Afghanistan." [[George Moore, The Lost Tribes]

Moore has mentioned only three eminent writers on the subject. But
reference can also be made to General Sir George Macmunn
(Afghanistan from Darius to Amanullah, 215), Col. [G.B. Malleson (The
History of Afghanistan from the Earliest Period to the outbreak of the
War of 1878, 39), Col. Failson, (History of Afghanistan, 49), George
Bell (Tribes of Afghanistan, 15), E. Balfour (Encyclopedia of India,
article on Afghanistan), Sir Henry Yule (Encyclopedia Britannica,
article on Afghanistan), and the Hon. Sir George Rose (Rose, The
Afghans, the Ten Tribes and the Kings of the East, 26). They, one and
all, independently came to the same conclusion. Another, Major H.W.
Bellew, went on a political mission to Kandahar and published his
impressions in his Journal of a Mission to Kandahar, 1857-8. He then
wrote in 1879 his book Afghanistan and Afghans. In 1880 he was sent,
once again on another mission to Kabul, and in the same year he
delivered two lectures before the United Services Institute at Simla: "A
New Afghan Question, or "Are the Afghans Israelites?" and "Who are
the Afghans?" He then published another book: The Races of
Afghanistan. Finally he collected all his facts in An Enquiry into the
Ethnography of Afghanistan, which was published in 1891.

In this work he mentions Killa Yahoodi ("Fort of the Jews") (H.W.

Bellew, An Enquiry into the Ethnography of Afghanistan, 34), as being
the name of the eastern boundary of their country, and also speaks of
Dasht-i-Yahoodi ("Jewish plain") (ibid., 4), a place in Mardan District.
He concludes: "The Afghan’s accounts of Jacob and Esau, of Moses
and the Exodus, of the Wars of the Israelites with the Amalekites and
conquest of Palestine, of the Ark of the Covenant and of the election
of Saul to the Kingdom, etc., etc., are clearly founded on the Biblical
records, and clearly indicate a knowledge of the Old Testament, which
if it does not prove the presence of the Christians at least
corroborates their assertion that the Afghans were readers of the
Pentateuch up to the time of the appearance of Mohammad." (Ibid.,
191)

Note, it is well understood and undisputed that there have never been
Christian communities in Afghanistan pre- or for many centuries after
the dawn of Islam.

Thomas Ledlie wrote an article in the Calcutta Review, which he

subsequently elaborated and published in two volumes. He expressed
his views on the subject very clearly: "The Europeans always confuse
things, when they consider the fact that the Afghans call themselves
Bani Israel and yet reject their Jewish descent. Indeed, the Afghans
discard the very idea of any descent from the Jews. They, however,
yet claim themselves to be of Bani Israel." [Thomas Ledlie, More
Ledlian, Calcutta Review, January, 1898]

Ledlie goes on to explain: "Israelites, or the Ten Tribes, to whom the

term Israel was applied – after their separation from the House of
David, and the tribe of Judah, which tribe retained the name of Judah
and had a distinct history ever after. These last alone are called Jews
and are distinguished from the Bani Israel as much in the East as in
the West." [Ibid., 7]

Among more contemporary writers Dr. Alfred Edersheim says:

"Modern investigations have pointed to the Nestorians and latterly,
with almost convincing evidence (so far as it is possible) to the
Afghans as descendants from the Lost Tribes." [Dr. Alfred Edersheim,
The Life and Times of Jesus, the Messiah, 15]

Sir Thomas Holditch in his The Gates of India says: "But there is one
important people (of whom there is much more to be said) who call
themselves Bani Israel, who claim a descent from Cush and Ham, who
have adopted a strange mixture of Mosaic Law in Ordinances in their
moral code, who (some sections at least) keep a feast which strongly
accords with the Passover,...and for whom no one has yet been able
to suggest any other origin than the one they claim, and claim with
determined force, and these people are the overwhelming inhabitants
of Afghanistan." – Sir Thomas Holditch, The Gates of India, 49.

There are many additional references, recorded incidents,

manuscripts and artifacts related to the Hebraic history of the
Pashtuns for the dedicated objective researcher who seeks them out.

In his 1957 classic The Exiled and the Redeemed, Itzhak Ben-Zvi,
second President of Israel, writes that Hebrew migrations into
Afghanistan began, "with a sprinkling of exiles from Samaria who had
been transplanted there by Shalmaneser, King of Assyria (719 BC).
From the recurrent references in the Book of Esther to the "one
hundred and twenty seven dominions" of King Ahasuerus, the
deduction is permissible that eastern Afghanistan was among them."
[[The Exiled and the Redeemed, 176]

Ben-Zvi continues, "The Afghan tribes, among whom the Jews have
lived for generations, are Moslems who retain to this day their
amazing tradition about their descent from the Ten Tribes. It is an
ancient tradition, and one not without some historical plausibility. A
number of explorers, Jewish and non-Jewish, who visited Afghanistan
from time to time, and students of Afghan affairs who probed into
 literary sources, have referred to this tradition, which was also
discussed in several encyclopedias in European languages. The fact
that this tradition, and no other, has persisted among these tribes is
itself a weighty consideration. Nations normally keep alive memories
passed by word of mouth from generation to generation, and much of
their history is based not on written records but on verbal tradition.
This was particulary so in the case of the nations and the
communities of the Levant. The people of the Arabian Peninsula, for
example, derived all their knowledge of an original pagan cult, which
they abandoned in favor of Islam, from such verbal tradition. So did
the people of Iran, formerly worshipers of the religion of Zoroaster;
the Turkish and Mongol tribes, formerly Buddhists and Shamanists;
and the Syrians who abandoned Christianity in favor of Islam.
Therefore, if the Afghan tribes persistently adhere to the tradition that
they were once Hebrews and in course of time embraced Islam, and
there is not an alternative tradition also existent among them, the
matter certainly deserves careful and critical examination." [The
Exiled and the Redeemed]

OTHER REFRENCES:
• Emperor Jahangir of the MUghal Dynasty ordered his courtier
to search for the origin of the Pashtoons and so the famous
book "MAKHZAN E AFGHANI” was written in 1635,which also
confirms the orgin of Pashtoons from the lost tribes
According to the tradition, King Saul had a son called Jeremiah who
had a son called Afghana. Jeremiah died at about the time of King
Saul's death and Afghana was raised by King David and remained in
the royal court during King Solomon's reign. About 400 years later in
the time of disorder of Israel, the Afghana family fled to a land called
Gur which is in central Afghanistan.
They settled and traded with the people of the area and in the year
662, with the arrival of Islam, the sons of Israel in Gur converted to
the prophet with 7 representatives of the Afghan. The leader of the
sons of Israel was Qais like the name of Saul's father.
According to this tradition Dear Prophet Muhammad(Salallaho
alayhay wa sallam), rewarded them and Qais's Hebrew name was
changed to Arab-A-Rashid by Dear Prophet Muhammad(Salallaho
alayhay wa sallam)
Qais Abdul Rasheed married Sara, the daughter of Khalid Bin Waleed
RA(the famous companion of Dear ProphetMuhammad(Salallaho
alayhay wa sallam),
 • The Nawab of Hoti, Sir Akbar Khan, writes in his
famous book "THE CORRIGENDUM OF AN HISTORIC
FACT" that in 570 BC, the King of Babul Bukht Nasir
ordered the two grandsons of Afghana, Armia and
Burkhia, to settle the Bin Yamin tribes in his kingdom.
Hence they brought their old grandfather to the hills of
Herat and started living there.
