Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem


read this - history of al-aqsa

As a Muslim, we all know that this one of the holiest place in the world as it where our Prophet Muhammad SAW was ascended to the heaven to meet Allah himself.

the reason why i was researching about this mosque was because K told me about some of the history of Al-Aqsa and i wanted to know more of it. it is such a rich history that it's unsettling. many lives have been sacrificed due the sacredness of the mosque/place. it does not pertain to Islam only but the history has included the other two religion, Jews and Christians. the war over the mosque had happened for a period of many years. the Muslim felt the need to protect the mosque because of an event that is most sacred. it looks to me like fighting for property that seemed to be beyond valuable but which one is the rightful owner? that is what happened in the past. they fight, they conquer.

now, it has become a place for all three religion to come and witness for its history. it is also rightfully belonged to the Muslims.

i wished i had know this a long time ago..and i wished to know more about the history of Islam. one day, i would like to come and visit this mosque, InsyaAllah..
