The History of Palestine - Maulana Ismail Adam Patel

The importance of al Masjidul Aqsa Haram Sharif and Jerusalem have been central to those who submitted to the will of Allah (Muslims) from time immemorial. According to an authentic narration of Prophet Muhammad (saws), al Masjidul Aqsa was the second house of worship for the Lord on planet earth. Further, this was only built forty years after the first house, the Ka’ba in Makkah.

Allah (swt) through verses in the Holy Qur’an, Prophet Muhammad’s (saws) teachings and his visiting al Masjidul Aqsa during his miraculous journey to the heavens has connected al Masjidul Aqsa and Jerusalem to the believes and respect of present day Muslims.

Al Masjidul Aqsa Haram Sharif besides being the first qibla (direction Muslims faced during Salah prayer) represents one of only three mosques where Muslims are recommended to undertake a journey for sole purpose of praying Salah. The virtues of praying in al Masjidul Haram Sharif are multiplied by a thousand times. The numerous virtues of al Masjidul Aqsa has made to central to Muslims all over the world. The love and affection for al Masjidul Aqsa transcends all national boundaries, languages and colour. Muslims all over the globe through the teachings of Islam hold it dear and venerate it.
