To what extent is it legitimate to use the number of letters and surahs of the Quran and the verses' numbers to determine the year 2044 as the end of Israel, as stated in Bassam Jarrar's book "The Demise of Israel 2022: Prophecy or Digital Coincidence"?
It is not permissible to delve into the Quran without relying on the principles of exegesis and clarifying its miraculous aspects. The talk about the demise of Israel is a certain matter and should not preoccupy the Muslim much, as it was mentioned in the noble Prophetic حديث (Hadith): "The Hour will not be established until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them." The most important thing is to prepare for that and fulfill the duty of supporting the oppressed in Palestine and repelling the aggression of the Jews, as this is the responsibility of all Muslims. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever dies without having fought or having intended to fight, dies upon a branch of hypocrisy."
