- Why do Muslims care so much about Al Aqsa? Dr. Shabir Ally explains that Al-Aqsa is mentioned in the Quran as blessed and sacred. It is the site of the Prophet Muhammad's night journey. It was also the first direction of prayer before the qiblah was changed to Mecca. Many Muslims are eager to pray there. Alongside host Dr. Safiyyah Ally, he speaks up against Israeli forces violating the sanctity of the mosque and imposing limitations on Muslim worship.

May God bless me to visit all three holy mosques. Ameen!
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.
Takbeer!!
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
@AB Nr Tell me what piece of my history is untrue. Why would you believe the story of Muhammad flying to Jerusalem on a flying donkey creature which then flew up to heaven? You think that history is fiction, fiction history.
@@peterhwang1860 The whole premise of Religion is believing on supernatural things. If you dont believe on those kind of thing, whats the point of worshiping god🤦♂️
@@peterhwang1860
Peace be upon you sir,
The passage in Daniel 9:27 does not state anything about the Anti Christ building a shrine on the Temple Mount.
I would strongly recommend you to study the passage again with a knowlegable person from your church. They will be able to expand on the prophecy of seventy weeks wich has nothing to do with Allah or our Prophet.
Peace❤.
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
it doesn't matter how important Al Aqsa is, I believe it is not worth violence and killing
No it's not, so is West Bank and Gaza and Israel but you are obviously not going to say it to the other side
The Israelis gave Gaza for peace. Most Israelis are just trying to protect the 1% of the middle east that they live in. They want to be free to live in their indigenous homeland, speak their native tongue Hebrew, wear kippas without the fear of being attacked, no longer be dhimmis, not feel pressured to accept Christianity or Isam.
@@loveandmercy9664 I hear you friend. I would recommend you stick to your own faith. Don’t be pressured into accepting other religious beliefs. I am half Palestinian and half Argentina. I love you. You are truly Gods chosen people. May God’s bless you and your people

@@covertgreen Neither will God favour the violence coming from the other side. This might be just a building for you but for many it is not.

‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)
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]
Jazakhallahukhairan
Dr Shabir changed his beard style 😍
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.
Wonderful from karachi Pakistan
Priority is to us muslimeen regarding masjid Al Aqsa.
• Mentioned in the Quran. Eg,
o 17:1 (night journey of Prophet Muhammad (saw) ).
o 5:21
• Was the first direction of prayer for Muslims before Prophet Muhammad (saw) was given the directive to change the direction of prayer to the Kaabah in Mecca (2:144).
• Numerous rewards for praying at the mosques in Makah, Medina and Al-Aqsa.
When the blessed Messenger Muhammad was alive, there was no mosque in Jerusalem! The present Mosque was built much later after he passed away! Please read my comment below for details.
We already know that lol that doesn’t change the fact that the Temple Mount as a whole is a blessed place and is sacred to Muslims as well.
I saw his debate with nabeel
I thought only Zakir naik is genoius
I was wrong he is not the only one
Shabeer and zakir rational scholar easy to understand
agreed

Not to diss Dr. Zakir but I do consider him to be overrated. 😊😊
There is a difference between genuine thoughful scholar and copy paste polemic.
Please watch
Marvelous Quran channel.
You will be surprised full of wisdom.
I have to comment: the Christian churches traditionally face to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre because there is the empty Tomb of Jesus, but we don’t need to face a specific direction to pray, because God is everywhere.
In addition, the Christian churches are modeled after Solomon’s Temple. So there is also a connection there.
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
Al Aqsa will always concern to us MUSLIMS we care
☺️❤️👍
Love the Showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I don't understand how the verse in surat al Isra can refer to the al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The verse was revealed in the 7th century a.d., while the mosque was built in the 8th.
Can someone please explain?
Who told you that it was built in the 8th century?
Dome of the Rock built in 8th century. Al Aqsa probably the same, though hard to say.
All the earliest mosques point to Petra, home of the Nabateans, not Jerusalem. Written Arabic is derived from Nabatean Aramaic. The three daughters of Allah are Nabatean goddesses. No Islamic significance to Jerusalem till Abd al Malik built Dome of the Rock in 691 to challenge the Byzantines.
@@bf6724
Sallaamoualaik brother,
History teaches that al Aqsa mosque was finished in 705 by Caliph al Walid ibn Abdulmalik (Ummayad dynastie).
If i'm not mistaken he named the newly built mosque after the one reffered to in vers one of surat al Isra.
Wassalaam oualaikom❤.
@@peterhwang1860 Hello sir,
Could you please provide some proof of your claim. How the classical Arabic syntax ties into the Nabatean for example.
Eagerly awaiting your answer.
There was no mosque or temple in the year 620 when Muhammed supposedly took the journey?
Secondly, why doesn't the Dome of the Rock built in 690 mention the nights journey?
Why does the inscriptions in the Dome discredit the Christians and their beliefs?
Eh....you might want to do some research before you continue along this line. The Messenger of God ascended from the rock which is currently sheltered by the Dome of the Rock. When structures were built or repurposed has nearly nothing to co with this discussion. Al Aqsa Mosque is not the Dome of the Rock.
@@brucesims3228 Fully aware that the mosque is not the dome but traditions clearly mention a temple that Muhammed allegedly visited. Everyone besides muslims know this story is bunk.
The temple housing the dome was built 60y after his death
@@majeedm689 Masjid in Quranic references do not necessarily mean a structure. It simply means a place of prostration, a place where people fell facedown.
Wether it was desecrated and desolated or had newly erected polytheistic shrines from the roman and byzantine era (during the night journey), it still did not negate the sacredness of the compound. The Kaaba too with all its idols was defended the year prophet (pbuh) was born. Both places were sanctified because of Abraham (pbuh) and his righteousness.
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.
The inscriptions inside the dome is not only to discredit the excessive beliefs of Byzantium but also to discredit all 4 conquering beasts (of Jerusalem) prophesied in Daniel ( Assyria, Babylonia, Rome and Byzantium)
@@majeedm689 Perhaps...perhaps not. There are articles of Faith that all religions hold that fly in the face of reason. Look at how many fervent Christians think an executed criminal came back from the dead and then ascended to heaven. Or how about Jews that believe passionately in the literal story of the Exodus and the parting of the waters. What I Do know is that Allah (swt) has blessed me with finding this faith and my biggest problem is how I can ever be worthy of His gift. Just sayin...

Please can i upload your video on my CZcams channel?
I’m having a hard time with the narrations about al-Aqsa. How could the prophet saws have spoken about masjid al-Aqsa before it was even built? Jerusalem was conquered by Muslims only at the caliphate of Umar and al-Aqsa mosque was built by the Umayyad caliph Abdulmalik Ibn Marwan. Was the prophet speaking about a Jewish Temple or simply about the area? Because it’s impossible that he was referring to the mosque we know today
The Place is Holy from God !
The place was the first direction of Prayer ( in Islam ).
@AB Nr Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer. The explanation you provided makes more sense. If by al-Aqsa we refer to a place instead of a specific building, everything becomes more coherent
Quran 3:100 O you who believe! If you obey a group among those who were given the Book, they will turn you, after your belief, into unbelievers.
So Allah gave the land to Musa and his follower??? The sheikh should tell the truth. in Arabic Lakoum Mean for you People Not only for Musa. SO Allah did give the land to Musa and his follower.
Why was the "journey at night"?
Who were the witnesses to this event?
References to this "journey" by Muhammad pbuh.
I respect Shabir but we Christians have lost almost all our sacred sites to Muslim conquerors. They tried to take Rome as well but failed multiple times. How do you think Christians feel about Hagia Sophia?
What do you think about masjids in spain turned into church?
@@bluepanda4806 Many of the Mosques turned into churches after the reconquista were churches first. The Hagia Sophia isn't just another church. The Turkish government has been doing this for years like the Hagia sophia church in Trabzon and recently the coral church. The Mosques into churches vs. Churches into Mosques is incomparable. Another famous church the church of st. John the Baptist was turned into a Mosque after the Arab conquest in Syria.
Ya3ni.... I understand this topic is complicated, but the fact is all these ayats don’t mention explicitly about Al Aqsa, not even Jerusalem or Filistine. Isn’t it a bit far fetched to justify countless lives dying? No offense. If it’s that important Allah would have made it clearer IMO. I know people who lost their beloved because of this. My heart breaks for them.
Yeah i somewhat not so sure about this thing, but its different case when they take it by force from you, isn't it? Of course we shouldn't let anyone take anything thats ours
My question is who does that land belong to according to the Quran? They justify that it belongs to them because God gave it to them. But from what I understand they broke the convenant and are no longer the rightful owners and that land belonged to the Christians after them and now to the rightful believers (Muslims). Please give more insight to this from a Quranic perspective
The site of the al Aqsa mosque is the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Bible. Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice there.

Lol! Why? What is the reason to face Mecca? The Jews face the temple because the scriptures say the present of God is in the temple. Why would "God" tell people to bow toward a stone at a time when people "used to worship stones"?
For the practical purpose of unity. Obviously when we pray, we are to face some direction and if direction was not fixed, people would have started an unnecessary quarrel over this issue. God has no physical direction, as Quran says that all directions belong to God and righteousness is not facing towards any direction.
Plus muslims face towards a sacred mosque and not towards any stone. In fact, the stone is not mentioned in Quran and for years, when the stone was stolen, Muslims continued to face towards the mosque. Mosque in Islam are called Baitullah, meaning House of God and Kaaba in Islamic traditions is considered to be the first House of God ever built.
@@omerali2690 for unity, you god is telling you to bow toward a stone that the pagans used to circumvent NAKED at a time when people "used to worship stones"?
What is "sacred" about a black stone that the pagans used to circumvent NAKED?
What is your proof that the Kaaba is "the first house of God ever built." You have no history to prove that. Islam is not based on historical evidence.
@@islamisamess6160
Allah did not ask us to bow towards any stone. Allah asked us to face towards sacred mosque in Mekkah. Whether that stone is there or not does not matter.
And about proof, we dont have any proof that Adam actually existed, whether the story is there in Quran or in Bible or in any other scripture. We believe it on the basis of Quran that it was the first house of worship which was built.
Now you dont believe in Quran, so we dont ask you to believe the origin of Kaaba. But the real issue is this. The orthox jews have no problem with muslim conception of God but they definitely consider Christians to be idol worshippers based on old testment which is their scripture and also your scripture. So its better to settle your issue with them. For us, Bible is not a book of authority so this discussion is fruitless here. 😊
@@omerali2690 how is the place that hold a stone that pagans used to circumvent NAKED is a "sacred mosque"?
If the Quran tells you that the Kaaba is the first house of worship, the Quran is a lie. Bethel is the first house of worship that HISTORY and the Torah told us about.
God, in the book of Leviticus, told us not to bow to any sacred stone but you Muslims and bowing toward the stone and touching and kissing it!
@@islamisamess6160
How many times do I have to tell you that we are not bowing towards any stone. The way I am seeing your argument is like this.
I live in Pakistan, and I pray towards south west to offer my prayers. Now, offcourse, if you draw a line between my place of worship and kaaba, there may be millions of rocks in that direction, there may be millions of trees in that direction, but I am not facing towards any of those, they just happen to be in that direction and same is the case with those many pieces of that black stone. That black stone is no way different from any of those other millions of stones, it just happen to be in that direction also.
But if I take your argument, it means that I am not only bowing towards that black stone but also towards those millions of stones which are also in that direction.
If your argument is used consistently, that every jew in history is worshiping a wall because he is facing towards a wall and in your words, they are worshipping a wall.
If you consider Quran to be a lie, good for you, but if you want to argue with me, then argue with me on the basis of some independent source, not the bible. For you bible may be true but for us, only those parts of bible are true which dont contradict with Quran.
You are making an issue that pagans used to worship while being naked. Here, you are using Islamic sources to make a claim. I have no problem with this, but atleast present the whole picture. 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?
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.

Good man or it was just a nice dream. Once you go the route of actual flying horses then we need to believe that today people are abducted and probed by aliens without evidence.
Israel is belongs to Israelites only,God given to them. Muslim kings evades that area and occupied Solomon's build Temple Mount which is related to Israel people..this history and and God's will also ..and Jerusalem is also most important place and capital to Jews kings.. this is also history.... 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.
True but that does not mean All Aqsa needs to be destroyed. But ok please give us more of your illiterate RSS takes.
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.
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
It is the same God peter but just different religions but your thick head can never understand it.
@@galactic_spectator6409 Either they are all false or only one of them is true. If there truly is a God he does not contradict himself!
@@peterhwang1860 There is no "they" , it is one God called Yahweh in Judaism, God in Christianity and Allah in Islam. The contradictions are largely the different teachings and interpretations of 3 different religions and if you follow one of these 3 religions then obv. You will say my religion is correct and the others are not but the concept of God is the same. Obv. Your interpretation and preference is diff. From that of a Muslim or perhaps a Jew so you would say your interpretation of God is correct
@@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. Fools like you literally think Jewish Jesus will kill Jews and give land to Palestinians 😂😂. Fyi the moment Jews build their third temple, try to live for seven years and not more than that.
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!!
