S 2:40 Banu Isra’il, remember my grace which I bestowed upon you and fulfill my covenant. I fulfill your covenant and me then be you afraid of.


S 2:47 Banu Isra’il, remember my grace that I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to the ‘alamin.


Isn't Israel part of the 'alamin, the worlds?


S 2:83 And when we took the covenant of the Banu Isra’il: You do not worship but Allah and self-restraint towards parents and relatives and orphans and paupers and say good to people and establish salat and give the zakat. Then you turned away, except a few of you, when you were exposing.


S 2:122 Banu Isra’il, remember my grace that I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to the ‘alamin.


S 2:211 Ask the Banu Isra’il how many we gave them of a clear sign. And he who changes Allah’s grace after what has come to him then Allah is the severe in punishment.


S 2:246 Have you not looked at the chiefs of the Banu Isra’il after Musa, when they said to a prophet of theirs: Raise a king for us that we may fight in the way of Allah? He said: Would you perhaps, if fighting were written upon you, not fight? They said: And what is wrong with us not to fight in the way of Allah while we have been expelled from our homes and our sons? But when fighting was written upon them they turned away except a few of them. And Allah is learned in the wrongdoers.



S 3:49 And a messenger to Banu Isra’il: I have come to you with a sign from your lord that I create for you from clay like the form of a bird and blow into it and it is a bird with Allah’s permission. And I heal the blind and the leper and I vivify the dead with Allah’s permission. And I inform you of what you eat and what you lay by in your houses. In that there is a sign for you if you are believers.



S 3:93 All food was permitted for the Banu Isra’il except what Isra’il had forbidden himself before the Torah is sent down. Say: So bring the Torah and read it if you are truthful.


From an Answering Islam article:


Interestingly, certain traditions claim that the Jews during Muhammad's time objected to his eating meats such as camels, stating that such foods were prohibited even before Moses' time. Note, for example, the following Tafsir of Ibn Abbas (Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn 'Abbâs) on Sura 3:93:

(All food was lawful unto the Children of Israel) all food that is lawful for Muhammad and his community today was lawful for the Children of Israel, the sons of Jacob, (save that which Israel) Jacob (forbade himself) by the way of vows, ((in days) before the Torah was revealed) before the revelation of the Torah to Moses, Jacob forbade himself the meat and milk of camels. When this verse was revealed, the Prophet (pbuh) asked the Jews: "What did Jacob forbid himself of food?" They said: "he did not forbid himself any type of food, and whatever is forbidden for us today, such as the meat of camels and other things, was already forbidden on all prophets, from Adam to Moses (pbut). It is only you who make such things lawful." And they claimed those things were also forbidden in the Torah. Hence Allah said to Muhammad (pbuh): (Say) to them: (Produce the Torah and read it (unto us)) where they are made forbidden (if ye are truthful) in your claim. But they failed to produce the Torah and knew they were liars since there was nothing in the Torah to substantiate their claim. (online source; bold and underline emphasis ours)

Al-Jalalayn, on this same text, says that:

When the Jews said to the Prophet, 'You claim that you follow the creed of Abraham, but Abraham did not eat camel's meat nor drink its milk', the following was revealed: All food was lawful to the Children of Israel save what Israel, Jacob, forbade for himself, namely, camels: when he was afflicted with sciatica ('irq al-nasā), he made a vow that if he were cured he would not eat of it again, and so it was forbidden him; before the Torah was revealed, which was after the time of Abraham, as it was not unlawful in his time, as they claimed. Say, to them, 'Bring the Torah now, and recite it, so that the truth of what you say may become clear, if you are truthful', in what you say; they were stupified and did not bring it [the Torah]. God, exalted be He, then said: (Tafsir Al-Jalalayn; online source; bold and underline emphasis ours) Muhammad and the Mosaic Law

S 5:12 And Allah took a covenant of the Banu Isra’il and we raised among them 12 captains. And Allah said: I am with you if you establish salat and give the zakat and believe in my messengers and honour them and give Allah a good loan. I will atone for your evil deeds and admit you to jannat, rivers running beneath them. But he who has disbelieved after that among you, he has strayed from the evenness of the way.


S 5:32 From that term we wrote upon the Banu Isra’il that he who killed a soul for other than a soul or corruption in the land, it is as though he had killed all people and he who saved it, it is as though he had saved all people. And our messengers came to them with the proofs then many of them after that exceed in the land.



S 5:70 We took a covenant of the Banu Isra’il and sent them messengers. Whenever a messenger came to them with what their souls do not desire, a party they denied and a party they kill.


Jews were killing a party or team of messengers, in the author's day?


S 5:72 Those who have said: Allah, he is the Messiah the son of Maryam, have disbelieved. And the Messiah said: Banu Isra’il, worship Allah, my lord and your lord. He who associates with Allah, Allah has forbidden him the Jannah and his shelter is the fire. And the wrongdoers have no helpers.



S 5:78 Those who disbelieved of the Banu Isra'il were cursed by the tongue of Dawud and Isa son of Maryam. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress.


S 5:110 When Allah said: Isa son of Maryam, remember my grace upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Holy Spirit when you speak to the people in the cradle and in middle age. And when I taught you the book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Injil. And when you create from the clay as the form of the bird with my permission and blow into it and it is a bird with my permission and you heal the blind man and the leper with my permission and when you bring out the dead with my permission. And when I restrained the Banu Isra’il from you when you brought them proofs and those who disbelieved of them said: This is nothing but obvious magic.



S 7:105 Worthy that I do not say about Allah but the truth. I have come to you with a proof from your lord so send the Banu Isra’il with me.



S 7:134 And when the rijz fell upon them they said: Musa, invoke your lord for us by what he has covenanted with you. If you remove the rijz from us we will believe in you and we will send the Banu Isra’il with you.


S 7:137 And we made the people who were found weak inherit the rising places of the land and its setting places which we had blessed. And your lord’s best word was fulfilled for the Banu Isra’il because they were patient. And we destroyed what Fir’awn and his people used to make and what they used to build up.



S 7:138 And we crossed the sea with the Banu Isra’il. Then they came upon a people devoting themselves to idols of theirs. They said: Musa, make us a god like what gods they have. He said: You are ignorant people.


S 10:90 And we passed beyond the sea with the Banu Isra’il and Fir’awn and his troops followed them in rebellion and enmity until when the drowning came suddenly upon them, he said: I have believed that there is no god but the one whom the Banu Isra’il has believed in and I am of the Muslims.



S 10:93 And we lodged the Banu Isra’il in a lodging of truth and provided them from the good things and they did not differ until the knowledge had come to them. Your lord decides between them on the day of resurrection concerning what they used to differ in.


S 17:2 And we gave Musa the Book and made it guidance for the Banu Isra'il: Not to take an agent instead of me.



S 17:4 And we preordained to the Banu Isra’il in the Book: You shall corrupt in the land twice and be exalted in big exaltedness.


S 17:101 And we gave Musa nine clear signs so ask the Banu Isra’il when he came to them. Then Fir’awn said to him: I think you, Musa, are bewitched.


Nine plagues? Apparently the Flood was one of them. The Floods


S 17:104 And we said after him to the Banu Isra’il: Dwell in the land then when the promise of the hereafter came, we brought you as a mass.


S 19:58 Those are the ones Allah graced of the prophets of Adam’s offspring and of him we carried with Nuh and of Ibrahim’s offspring and Isra’il's and of those we guided and selected. When Al-Rahman’s verses are read to them they fell doing sujud and weeping.

S 20:47 So go to him and say: We are your lord’s messengers so send with us the Banu Isra’il and do not torture them. We have brought you a sign from your lord. And peace is upon him who has followed the guidance.


S 20:80 Banu Isra’il, we saved you from your enemy and agreed on a meeting with you on the right hand side of the Tur. And we sent down upon you the manna and the quail.


S 20:94 He said: Mother’s son, do not take me by my beard or by my head. I feared to say: You have distinguished between Banu Isra’il and have not waited for my speech.



S 26:17 Send the Banu Isra’il with us.


S 26:22 And that is grace that you confer upon me, that you have enslaved the Banu Isra’il.


S 26:59 Thus. And we caused the Banu Isra’il to inherit them.


S 26:197 Was it not a sign to them that scholars of Banu Isra’il know it?


S 27:76 This quran relates to the Banu Isra’il, most of that which they differ about.


S 32:23 And we gave Musa the Book so do not be in doubt about his meeting. And we made it guidance for the Banu Isra’il.


S 40:53 And we gave Musa the guidance and caused the Banu Isra'il to inherit the Book,


The Israelites inherited the Bible?


S 43:59 He is nothing but a slave whom we graced and we made him a similitude for the Banu Isra’il.


S 44:30 And we saved the Banu Isra’il from the base torture,


S 45:16 And we gave the Banu Isra’il the Book and the power and the prophethood and we provided them from the good things and we preferred them to the ‘alamin.


S 46:10 Say: Have you seen if it was from Allah and you have disbelieved in it and a witness from the Banu Isra’il has borne witness to the like thereof and he has believed and you were arrogant? Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.



S 61:6 And when Isa son of Maryam said: Banu Isra’il, I am Allah’s messenger to you, confirming what is in front of me of the Torah and as one giving the good news of a messenger coming after me, called Ahmad. But when he came to them with the proofs they said: This is obvious magic.



S 61:14 Those who have believed, be Allah’s helpers, as Isa son of Maryam said to the Hawariyun: Who are my helpers to Allah? The Hawariyun said: We are Allah’s helpers. Then a band of the Banu Isra’il believed and a band disbelieved. So we backed those who believed against their enemy and they became assistants.
