Masjid Al Aqsa is the third holiest spot in islam. it makes me sick they're terr0rizing muslims inside it when they've done nothing but pray peacefully. May Allah protect Palestine #SaveSheikhJarrah #SavePalestine

Masjid Al-Aqsa is the holiest Islamic site in Jerusalem and is the third most sacred Masjid in Islam. There are many other Masjids and places of significance but Masjid Al-Aqsa has the greatest significance that dates back to the first man on earth, Prophet Adam

Masjid Al-Aqsa has been mentioned many times by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in regards to its virtue and importance. It is the only mosque besides the Ka`bah in Makkah which is mentioned by name in the Qur`an

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” [Tabarani, Bayhaqi, Suyuti]

From the beginning of time Muslims always prayed facing Jerusalem. This is important because it shows the significance and special position of Jerusalem. Muslims carried on facing Jerusalem in their prayers until 18 months after the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Makkah to Medina

The Muslims changed the direction of qibla from Jerusalem to the Kabah in Makkah after Allah commanded them. (Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) informed the Muslims that even though the Qibla had changed this did not reduce the importance of Masjid Al-Aqsa to Muslims

THE religious and historical significance of Masjid al Aqsa, also known as Bait al Maqdis is not lost on any Muslim. It occupies an important place in Muslim history and religion. But after Israel occupied Jerusalem, Palestinian Muslims have got restricted access to the mosque

knowing its importance and sensitivity to Muslims, Israel has often acted provocatively and added to the anger and frustration of Palestinian Muslims. they’re burning down and b0mbing mosque al aqsa RIGHT NOW Israel is doing this right before EID IN RAMADAN this is so sickening
