The Quran does not name “Palestine” directly , but it does refer to the Holy Land and the blessed land in ways many Muslims associate with the region, especially around Jerusalem and the surrounding area.

What it says

  • Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:21 tells the Children of Israel to enter the “Holy Land” assigned to them.
  • Surah Al-A’raf 7:137 speaks of the oppressed inheriting the blessed land.
  • Surah Yunus 10:93 also refers to a dwelling place for the Children of Israel.

Main takeaway

The Quran’s references are mostly spiritual and historical , not a modern political statement about today’s borders. Different Muslim scholars interpret these verses differently, so you will see a range of views on what land is being described and what those verses mean today.

Short answer

If you want the simplest answer: the Quran treats the land as sacred and blessed, but it does not explicitly use the word “Palestine”.

If you'd like, I can also give you:

  1. a verse-by-verse explanation , or
  2. a neutral summary of different Islamic interpretations.
