In addition, we find that the Jews use the analogy of what the Amalekites did to the Israelites, quoting from the Torah. So who are the Amalekites? And what is their story? In this article we will get acquainted with them and we will answer all these questions.

The story of the Amalekite Arabs

They are from the oldest Bedouin tribes of the Levant desert and Iraq. One of their characteristics is that they are among the largest and most powerful of God's creations, and they are the first to start eating cannibalism. It is said that Og Ibn Anq, the father of the Amalekites of legend, that from his giant height he drinks from the clouds and roasts whales in the sun, in addition to that the flood has reached his knees so big that Moses has jumped 30 cubits to reach his heel. Moreover, they are said to be Bedouin groups that invaded the desert of Iraq and the Levant and the cities of Phoenicia and Canaan, then occupied Egypt and established one of the great empires of antiquity. The remaining ancient Bedouins of the Amorites, the Amalekites and the Nabataeans who merged with the Arabs and gradually Arabized after AD until they became Arabs.

The Amalekites were described as unstable Bedouin tribes, and were known for their jalava and rough nature. He described one of their leaders as a flesh-eating comrade, unbeatable and unbeatable home. Although this description was given to them from the stable population that historical research proves the opposite of their description, history speaks of a vast civilization that influenced the civilizations that followed it and its neighboring kingdoms and emirates.

The story of the Amalekites in the Torah

It says in Numbers (24/2) "The Amalekites are the first of the peoples. As for the afterlife, it will lead to destruction" and what is meant by this is that the giants were the first people to stand in the face of the children of Israel after their exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses in the early thirteenth century BC, they were attacking the giants before and attacking their property. Exodus (17:14) mentions that after Joshua overcame the Amalekites, "The Lord said to Moses, 'Write this as a memorial in the book and put it in Joshua's ears, for I will erase the mention of the Amalekites from under heaven.'"

The memory of the resistance of the giants is also repeated in Deuteronomy (25:17-19): "Remember what the Amaleks did to you on the way when you left Egypt, how he met you on the way, and cut off from your back all the weak behind you, and you are tired night, so when the Lord your God relieved you of all your enemies around you, the memory of the Amalekites will be erased from under heaven. Don't forget."

The Amalekites lived in southern Palestine, and it came in the book of the Torah about their homes, the Amalekites were residing in the land of the south and the Amorites on the mountain, and the Canaanites at the sea and on the course of Jordan, while the Arab Akhbaris differed in the lineage of the Amalekites, and the Canaanites are among the Israelis from Canaan son of Ham, and they were in the Levant. The Torah states that the Amalekites are the first of the peoples and the last to perish. What is meant is that, as mentioned above, they were the first to stand up to the Israelites.

The story of the Amalekites in the Qur'an

Allah Almighty said in Surat Al-Ma'idah: "They said, O Moses, that there are mighty people in it, and we will not enter it until they come out of it, and if they come out of it, we will enter." The intention of this verse is that the Israelites are relapsed by nature, they are cowards and not covenanters, no matter what kind of carrot and intimidation they are told.

In this verse, they say that the land you promised us to enter is a people who are victorious over those who fight them, and we are unable to meet them. We will also not enter this holy land as long as these mighty Amalekites are in it, and if they leave it for any reason that has nothing to do with us, we are fully prepared to enter it, without any kind of fatigue and effort, and there is no doubt that their saying this, which was explained to us by the verse about them, indicates that they are extremely weak, because they do not want to obtain victory with their physical and mental senses, but they want to obtain what they want by the power of the supernatural and the verses, and this is far away. All far from logic.
