Importance and History of Al-Aqsa Mosque Jerusalem
Al-Aqsa Mosque, also known as the Farthest Mosque, is located in the old city of Jerusalem. It is considered the third holiest mosque in the world after the Al-Haram and the Al-Nabawi mosque. The history of Al-Aqsa makes it an important Muslim site. It is built over the Temple Mount, known as the Al –Aqsa compound or Haram esh-Sharif. This happened several years after the Prophet’s death. It is believed that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) traveled from the Great Mosque to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Night Journey on a ‘strange’ winged creature called Buraq in one night, after which he ascended to heaven where he met the rest of the Prophets and eventually God. History suggests that before The Prophet (PBUH) and the Muslims were ordered to pray towards the Kaaba, they directed their prayers towards this mosque. This is the reason why this mosque holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims.
The Mosque built on Temple Mount is known as Haram al-Sharif, this was expanded by King Herod the Great. Before this, in Islamic beliefs, the masjid is known to be dated to the time of Prophet Ibraham (PBUH). The Aqsa mosque was an important mosque during the lifetime of Prophet Ibrahim, his son Prophet Ishaq and grandson Prophet Yaqub(PBUH). When Prophet Yaqub’s son, Prophet Yusuf (PBUH) came into power, he suggested leaving Egypt where they were engulfed by poverty. Ever since there was no one to guard the Al-Aqsa mosque as their own and hence it expanded, renovated, and reconstructed many times. He trusted the people of Palestine, who were his believers to take care of the mosque.
The Israelites migrated to Egypt to look for better prospects of better material life. But these people fell into becoming slaves for the Egyptians until Prophet Musa (PBUH) or Moses was ordered by Allah to save them. However, they refused to return to Palestine on the orders of God and therefore were banished to wander around the desert for 40 years. This was the history of the Jews. Prophet Daoud (PBUH) started his kingdom in Palestine, and his son re-established the masjid with the help of the local people aside from which he also built a palace.
