Something worth considering. In the surah Al-Isra (17:1) the word masjid appeared twice. Once as Masjidil Haram and another is Masjidil Al-Aqsa. The word Masjid doesn't refer to the mosque but refers to "open space (masjid)". In the case of Masjidil Haram, it is a space where Muslims are forbidden to do harm to others. It's neutral ground. Similarly in the case of Majidial AlAqsa which refers to an open space in AlAqsa. The question is where is this open space in Jurusalem? It is not clear when the AlAqsa mosque was built and who built it

[@sparephone8228]

The reason Palestine is sacred is because so many prophets brought their devine message in that land: Dawuud, Sulayman, Issa, Yahya, Zacharia, and many others we probabaly do not know about.

The site of the al Aqsa mosque is the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Bible. Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice there. King Solomon built the Temple there around 1000 BC, and ever since it has been the only legitimate site for the Jewish priesthood and animal sacrifices. Jewish males were expected to go there for 3 annual festivals. It was destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonians, but rebuilt by the returning exiles 70 years later. Jesus visited the Temple frequently as an obedient Jewish child and adult and prophesied its destruction in 70 CE. The Bible predicts that the antichrist would prevent the sacrifices from taking place and build a shrine to a foreign god on the temple site, known as the abomination of desolation. Daniel 9:27

Hadith relating to Al Masjid Al Aqsa Below are a collection of hadith relating to Al Masjid Al Aqsa: The Importance of Visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa Abu Hurayrah (ra) relates that the Prophet (saw) said: “Do not undertake a journey to visit any Mosque, but three: this Mosque of mine, the Mosque of al-Haram and the Mosque of Aqsa” [Sahih Muslim 1397] Many similar Hadiths appear in Sahih Bukhari (Ref: 1189), Abu Dawud (Ref: 2033), An Nasa’i (Ref: 700) & Ibn Majah (Ref: 1409). There are also other narrations from Abu Sa’eed Al Khudri relating the same message in Tirmidhi (Ref: 326) and Ibn Majah (Ref: 1410). Great Virtue in Praying at Masjid Al-Aqsa Abu Darda (ra) relates that the Prophet (saw) said: “A prayer in Makkah (Ka’bah) is worth 1000,000 times (reward), a prayer in my Masjid (Madinah) is worth 1,000 times, and a prayer in Al-Aqsa Sanctuary is worth 500 times more reward than anywhere else” [Bayhaqi] Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “We were discussing when we were with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), which is better, the Mosque of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “One prayer in my mosque is better than four prayers offered there (in Bayt al-Maqdis), and what a good place of prayer it is. Soon there will come a time when, if a man has a piece of land the size of a horse’s rope from which he can see Bayt al-Maqdis, that will be better for him than the whole world.” [ al-Haakim, 4/509] Anas Ibn Malik (ra) relates that the Prophet (saw) said: “A man’s prayer in his house is equal (in reward) to 1 prayer; his prayer in the mosque of the tribes is equal to 25 prayers; his prayer in the mosque in which Friday prayer is offered is equal to 500 prayers; his prayer in Aqsa Mosque is equal to 50,000 prayers; his prayer in my mosque is equal to 50,000 prayers; and his prayer in the Sacred Mosque is equal to 100,000 prayers.” [Ibn Majah - Daeef Hadith] Abdullah Ibn Amr reports that the prophet (ﷺ) said: “When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Baitil-Maqdis, he asked Allah for three things: judgment that was in harmony with His judgment, a dominion that no one after him would have, and that no one should come to this mosque, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Two prayers were granted, and I hope that the third was also granted.” [Ibn Majah] The Second House of Allah on Earth Abu Dharr (ra) reported that he asked the Prophet (saw), “O Messenger of Allah, which mosque was first built on the surface of the earth?” He said, “Al- Masjid-ul-Haram (in Mecca).” I said, “Which was built next?” He replied “The mosque of Al-Aqsa ( in Jerusalem) .” I said, “What was the period of construction between the two?” He said, “Forty years.” He added, “Wherever (you may be, and) the prayer time becomes due, perform the prayer there, for the best thing is to do so (i.e. to offer the prayers in time)” [Sahih Bukhari 3366] A similar Hadith is also narrated in Sahih Muslim (Ref: 520 a), and in Ibn Majah (Ref: 753). The Importance of Donating to Masjid Al-Aqsa Maymunah Bint Sa’d (ra) relates that she asked the Prophet (saw): “O Messenger of Allah, tell us the legal injunction about (visiting) Bayt al-Muqaddas. The Messenger of Allah said: go and pray there. All the cities at that time were effected by war. If you cannot visit it and pray there, then send some oil to be used in the lamps.” [Abu Dawud] The Virtues of Wearing Ihram From Masjid Al-Aqsa Umm Salamah (ra) relates that the Prophet (saw) said: “If anyone puts on Ihram for Hajj or Umrah from Masjid Al-Aqsa and then proceeds to the Sacred Masjid (Ka’bah), his past and future sins will be forgiven, or he will be guaranteed Paradise”. [Abu Dawud 1741 - Daeef Hadith] The Blessed Land of Masjid Al-Aqsa Zaid Ibn Thabit (ra) narrated: “We were with the Messenger of Allah (saw) collecting the Qur’an on pieces of cloth, then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Tuba [a prayer for glad tidings] ]is for Ash-Sham.’ So we said: ‘Why is that O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Because the angels of Ar-Rahman spread their wings over it.’” [Tirmidhi] The First Qiblah Al-Bara (ra) narrated that: “We prayed toward Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for sixteen or seventeen months - Safwan was not sure - then it was changed to the Qiblah.” [An Nasa’i 488] Al Isra Blessings For Ummah Abu Hurayrah (ra) narrated that: Allah’s Messenger (saw) was presented with two cups one containing wine and the other milk on the night of his night journey at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the milk. Gabriel said, “Thanks to Allah Who guided you to the Fitra (i.e. Islam); if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.” [Bukhari vol 6, book 60, Hadith 232] Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “I met Ibrahim (ﷺ) on the Night of Ascension (Al-Asra), and he said to me: ‘O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your Ummah, and tell them that Jannah has a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water. It is a plain levelled land. The plants grow there by uttering: Subhan-Allah, Al-hamdu lillah, La ilaha illallah and Allahu Akbar (Allah is free from imperfection; praise be to Allah; there is no true god except Allah; and Allah is Greatest).” [At- Tirmidhi] Masjid Al-Aqsa - The Best Place of Residence ‘Abd Allaah bin ‘Amr said: “ I heard the Apostle of Allaah (saw) say “There will be emigration after emigration and the people who are best will be those who cleave most closely to places which Abraham migrated [i.e. Jerusalem].” [Abu Dawud - Daeef]

[@howardzampara]

Thank you for the program. It raised another question in my mind tough. Does the word "masjid" in "Quran 17:1" indicate the building exclusively (the specifically defined site that is today known as the Al Aqsa compound or the Temple Mount) or to the geographically specific location (which is according to Dr. Shabir, the more generally defined territory of Palestine and even Sham)? I am confused because the word "masjid" may mean the both (a place where you worship and the building in which you worship) but the mosque--the building (the latter meaning) was constructed some time between 681-715 CE. I would appreciate any answer. Thanks.

Masjid from the root s j d is an explicit reference to a place where people fell facedown to the one-single, indivisible and non-compound Creator.

[@mobyinayet5383]

Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself) 17:1 Glorious is He Who initiated the migration of His servant by night, from the Sacred Masjid to the Remote Masjid whose environment We did bless that We may show him some of Our signs. He is the Hearer, the Seer.1 Note 1 This is the 17th Surah of the Qur’an. Some exponents refer to it as Surah Bani Israel. It has 111 verses. Asra (Night Journey) is often confused with Me’raaj (Ascension). Since God is Omnipresent, the notion of anyone going to meet with Him over the skies does not stand up to reason. Asra signifies night journey and it refers to the beginning of the exalted Messenger's emigration from Makkah to Madinah by night. Verses 20:77 and 26:52 use the same term for migration of Prophet Moses along with his followers across the sea. Also consider 17:2. Masjid Al-Aqsa means the Remote Mosque and refers to the ‘Remote Mosque’ in Madinah, the place where Muslims used to congregate before the Prophet's arrival to the city. Masjid may also be understood here as Madinah since it was the place of regular congregations. The famous Masjid Al-Aqsa, the so-called Qiblah Awwal, the supposed First Holy Sanctuary, is widely known as Haram Shareef in Jerusalem. But, in fact, it was built in 72 AH (691 CE) by the Umayyad Ruler, Abdul Malik bin Marwan, about 60 years after the exalted Messenger passed on. The First Sanctuary was nothing but Ka’bah in Makkah 3:96. Jerusalem, until the Muslim conquest under the second Caliph of Islam in 637 CE, had been under the control of Byzantine Christians for centuries, and there was no person worshiping in a Masjid anywhere in the world but Madinah. So, the question of the presence of a Masjid in Jerusalem during the lifetime of the exalted Prophet should not arise. Again, Muslims conquered Jerusalem in 637 CE during the Rule of the second Caliph of Islam, Hazrat Umar. When he visited the place, he along with his companions continued to pray in open grounds, although Pope Severinus gave him the key to the city and invited him to pray in the Church of Holy Sepulture. But Hazrat Umar feared that Muslims might start converting churches into Masjids, so he politely declined. If a Masjid were present, he would have prayed there. The word Me'raaj (physical Ascension) nowhere occurs in the Qur’an. Yet, under erroneous traditions, it is a popular, though non-Qur’anic, belief among many Muslims that the exalted Messenger was taken up physically to the Heights/Skies to meet with God! The Qur’an sets the records straight by asserting that the First ever blessed Sanctuary was the Ka’bah built by Prophets Abraham and Ishmael in Makkah. And that the Divine laws remain unchanged under all circumstances. Bodily Ascension is a Biblical and not a Qur’anic theme at all. Qubbah-tas-Sakhra (Dome of the Rock)is an Islamic shrine and major landmark located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, near Al-Aqsa. It was completed in 691 CE. Temple Mount is a holy site for Judaism as well. There is a very questionable history that the Dome of the Rock was constructed over the site of the Second Jewish Temple which was completely destroyed during the Roman invasion by General Titus in 70 CE. The exalted Messenger never ascended to the heavens. Allah is everywhere. Our brilliant Muhaddithin and historians bring a lot of irrational and contradictory material on this subject: 01. Me’raaj happened in Madinah. 02. No sorry! It happened in Makkah. 03. It happened just before Hijrah. 04. Sorry! It happened 9 years before Hijrah. 05. The Prophet was sleeping at Umm Hani’s house - what? Gabriel held his hand and took him to Allah up there in the heavens. 06. Oh’ no! (That would be a slander). He was sleeping in the Ka’bah. 07. Gabriel opened his chest and poured faith and wisdom from a platter of gold before taking him up there. 08. Sorry! That surgery was performed when he was 3 years old. 09. Gabriel took him straight to the heavens. Sorry again! The angel first took him to Jerusalem. 10. No, it was not Gabriel. Burraaq (The Centauress with the head and face of a beautiful woman and the body of a horse) carried him to the heavens at lightning speed. These are not even 10% of the insults. The real ascension of the exalted Messenger was his character, and not some kind of Greek Mythology. With the Glorious Name of God, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness 20:23. Signs that the Divine System will begin to prevail from there

Islamic sources tell is that Adam built kaaba, then it was rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmail. The purpose of building that house of God was to worship one true God, but later people added idolatry there ( just like jews started worshipping golden calf and christian still worship a man named Jesus ). Not only did they introduce idol worship, but they also added immorality in their acts of worship ( worshipping while being naked was also part of their heresy ). Prophet Muhammad abolished those practices and destroyed those idols. So, I dont have any problem in accepting that there used to be idol worship in Kaaba and there used to be immoral acts there, but since Islam abolished those things, how can you make an argument against Islam? 😊

When the Masjid Al-Aqsa was built after prophet death, why Quran used the word masjid to refer to the location? Is it because the word ‘masjid’ wasn’t used in the literary sense that we use today?

[@majeedm689]

Good question isn't it? What if the verse was added after the Mosque was built since the inscriptions inside the Dome of the Rock doesn't mention the nights journey and it's the most important event that links Muhammed to the mosque. Instead we get verses on Christian doctrine So the Quran was still being developed and only completed after 700AD? Also explains why there's no complete copies before the turn of the century.

Israel is belongs to Israelites only,God given to them.

Muslims came there occupied everything...Jews temple convert to mosque....now Muslims given important to this ...how your adopt this this to you... Israeli prophets.. your owning as own prophets.. everything your copying.. from Israelites.... you don't have own interpretation.

If Jews first temple wasn't destroyed by babylonian and second temple not destroyed by Romans. Al Aqsa wouldn't be there.

[@galactic_spectator6409]

True but that does not mean All Aqsa needs to be destroyed. But ok please give us more of your illiterate RSS takes.

[@omerali2690]

Soloman is a prophet of Islam and in Arabic the place of worship is called Masjid. When muslims conquered Jeruslem, they actually rebuilt that temple according to their understanding they called it a masjid. The tragedy is this, people are fighting over the same God they believe in.

[@kyedean9698]

Al-Aqsa is in MaDINah. Masjid anNabawi is actually Al-Aqsa Mosque, why is it the farthest mosque??? Because hagia sophia was the central mosque, The tomb is not the prophets tomb, but the alkahf. That is why the FaKe alAqsa in jurusalem is NOT blessed around it. Look at Madinah, it is BLESSED!! That is the real alAqsa. The furthest mosque, because at that time ONLY byzantine build mosque!! Not pagan arab, not jews! The Hagia Sophia is the central Mosque!! We have been lied to for hundreds if not thousands of years!!

[@peterhwang1860]

The site of the al Aqsa mosque is the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Bible. Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice there. King Solomon built the Temple there around 1000 BC, and ever since it has been the only legitimate site for the Jewish priesthood and animal sacrifices. Jewish males were expected to go there for 3 annual festivals. It was destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonians, but rebuilt by the returning exiles 70 years later. Jesus visited the Temple frequently as an obedient Jewish child and adult and prophesied its destruction in 70 CE. The Bible predicts that the antichrist would prevent the sacrifices from taking place and build a shrine to a foreign god on the temple site, known as the abomination of desolation. Daniel 9:27

@@peterhwang1860 There is no "they" , it is one God called Yahweh in Judaism, God in Christianity and Allah in Islam.

From that of a Muslim or perhaps a Jew so you would say your interpretation of God is correct

[@peterhwang1860]

@@galactic_spectator6409 Tell me how all of the 3 could be correct: 1. The Jew says that Jesus is not the Messiah. If he existed, he was a regular man who died. 2. The Christian says that Jesus is the Messiah, crucified and killed according to prophecy, but also raised to life as the eternal Son of God. 3. The Muslim says that Jesus was the Messiah, but he was never crucified or killed. But he is not the Son of God. The fundamental question is who is Jesus?

@@galactic_spectator6409 it’s the same God?? Then listen your religion aka Islam destruction is written clearly in bible.
