Bani-Israel And Bani-Ismael In The Light Of The Rank Of Shahdah
Bani-Ismail never committed the kind of transgressions during the life time of Prophet Muhammad (sws) the way Bani-Israel committed them during their time. The revelation came to an end after Prophet Muhammad (sws), therefore we can only infer now from the example of Bani-Israel that how and when Bani-Ismail will also be subjected to punishment if they do not fulfil their duties. According to Ghamidi Sahab, this status is not absolute, rather it had some pre-conditions attached to it, and whenever Bani-Ismail violated those conditions, they were punished in this world.
