Al-Aqsa Mosque
is one of the largest mosques in the world and one of the three mosques to which Muslims travel, as the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him , said ; [ 1 ] It is also the first of the two Qiblahs in Islam . It is located within the Old City of Jerusalem in Palestine . It is the entire area surrounded by the wall and the name of everything inside the wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is located in the far southeastern corner of the walled Old City. [ 2 ]
Its area is approximately 144,000 square meters, and includes the Dome of the Rock, the Qibli Mosque, the Marwani Prayer Hall, the Bab al-Rahma Prayer Hall , and several other landmarks, numbering up to 200. Al-Aqsa Mosque is located on a small plateau called the “Mount Moriah”, and the Rock is the highest point on it, and is located in its heart.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is mentioned in the Qur’an : “ Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose precincts We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.”1( Al -Isra : 1) ( 1 ) .
﴿سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ ا
﴾
:1] (1).
Surah 17 verse1
The Jews also sanctify the same place, and they call the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque “Temple Mount” in reference to the Temple of the Prophet Solomon , and many Jewish organizations try to use this argument to build the Temple according to their belief.
Origin of the name
Al-Aqsa Mosque has several names, the most important of which are three:
Al-Aqsa Mosque: The word “Al-Aqsa” means the farthest, and it was named Al-Aqsa because of the distance between it and the Sacred Mosque , and it was the farthest mosque from the people of Mecca on earth that was honored by visitation.
And the one who named it with this name according to the Islamic belief is God in the Qur’an , in the verse: “ Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose precincts We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.”1
﴾
[ Al-Isra’ : 1] surah 17 verse ( 1 ) , the last alif was written in it with an extended al-aqsa , and it is a superlative meaning the furthest, then it came to be intended as a description, not a preference, and there is a defect in the name since its origin is al-aqsa with a dotted ya, then the ya became an alif because what precedes it is the letter sad, which is open, and the origin of the alif of al-aqsa is a waw or a ya, either qusayya yaqusu, or qasa yaqusu.
The Heavenly House: "sacred" signifies favored and purged. Muslim researchers and writers have referenced this name commonly, as Imam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani said :
We have come to the heavenly house
The delicacy of time everlasting is a gift from the Liberal
Al-Maqdis:
This is the name that was ordinarily known before it was designated "Al-Aqsa Mosque" in the Blessed Qur'an . This name is the one utilized in a large portion of the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, for example, what he said upon the arrival of the Isra and Mi'raj : " Then I and Gabriel, harmony arrive, entered Al-Maqdis, and every one of us supplicated two rak'ahs ."
Misguided judgments about its boundaries because of the occupation
Al-Aqsa Mosque
Many individuals accept that Al-Aqsa Mosque is just the request corridor assembled south of the Vault of the Stone ( the Qibli supplication lobby ), where the five day to day petitions to heaven are presently performed for men. This conviction is the consequence of the endeavors of the Zionist Israeli occupation to control portions of Al-Aqsa or obliterate it. In all actuality Al-Aqsa Mosque is the name for the whole mosque, which is everything inside the mosque's wall, including the huge patios, the Qibli Mosque, the Arch of the Stone, the Marwani supplication lobby, the Bab al-Rahma petition corridor, the arcades, vaults, seats, drinking fountains, gardens, and under or more the mosque's ground and different tourist spots. There are likewise minarets on its walls. The whole mosque isn't roofed aside from the Arch of the Stone , the Qibli supplication corridor, and the Marwani petition lobby . This is the very thing that researchers and antiquarians have settled upon, and in like manner the prize for petitioning heaven is multiplied in any piece of the wall, and its region is around 144,000 square meters.
History of Al-Aqsa Mosque
generally 144,000 square meters.
History of Al-Aqsa Mosque
First assembled
It isn't known precisely when Al-Aqsa Mosque was first assembled, yet it was referenced in the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad that it was fabricated forty years after the development of the Kaaba . Abu Dharr said: "I said: O Courier of God! Which mosque was constructed first on the planet? He said: Al-Masjid Al-Haram . I said: Then, at that point, which? He said: Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa. I said: How long is between them? He said: Forty years." Antiquarians have varied on the issue of the first developer of Al-Aqsa Mosque in quite a while: that they were the holy messengers, or the Prophet Adam, the dad of humanity, or his child Seth , or Sam, child of Noah , or the Prophet Abraham . The distinction in this returns to the distinction in who was the principal developer of the Kaaba . Scientist Abdullah Marouf favored that Adam was the person who fabricated Al-Aqsa Mosque as the main structure, in view of a portrayal from Ibn Abbas , and to would rather that Adam was the manufacturer of the Kaaba , as Imam Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani liked in his book Fath Al-Bari . Abdullah Marouf accepts that the principal development of Al-Aqsa Mosque was restricted to defining its limits and deciding its region, which ran somewhere in the range of 142 and 144 dunams.
The Jebusites and the Israelites
The southern wall , worked by the Jebusites who got comfortable Palestine around 3000 BC.
After the time of Adam , insight about the mosque was sliced off because of the absence of history in that period, until verifiable data was recorded about the principal gathering who came to the city of Jerusalem and possessed it, the Jebusites (3000 - 1550 BC), a Canaanite clan, who fabricated the city of Jerusalem and named it "Ur Shalem (City of Harmony)," so the remaining parts of the Jebusite ruins actually stay in the mass of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as per the assessment of certain scientists. During that period, the Prophet Abraham moved to the city of Jerusalem , and redesigned the mosque and implored in it, as did his child Isaac and his grandson Jacob after him.
From that point onward, the issue of the city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque passed to the Pharaohs (1550 - 1000 BC), and afterward it was subsequently taken over by the "Goliath Individuals", and afterward the city was vanquished by the Prophet David and the Offspring of Israel in the year 995 BC, so the city was extended and Al-Aqsa Mosque was assembled. Then his child Solomon assumed control over the standard , so he endlessly remodeled the mosque indeed. The Prophet Muhammad portrays this by saying: " When Solomon, child of David, harmony arrive, wrapped up building the Sacred House, he asked God All-powerful multiple times: that He would give him a standard that would match his standard and a realm that nobody after him would have, and that nobody would arrive at this mosque needing just to ask in it aside from that he would rise out of his wrongdoings as on the day his mom bore him ." The Prophet Muhammad expressed: " Concerning two, he was given them, and I trust that he was given a third ." This structure of Solomon is what the Jews guarantee is theirs, and they call it " the Sanctuary of Solomon ." With the demise of the Prophet Solomon , the standard of the Offspring of Israel, which endured 80 years, finished .
The time of designs
After the demise of Solomon , the condition of the Offspring of Israel was partitioned into the "Realm of Israel" in the north, and the "Realm of Judah" in the south, including Jerusalem . The Babylonians before long went after it , consumed the sanctuary, and kidnapped the Jews to Babylon in what was known as the Babylonian imprisonment . From that point forward, the Persians crushed the Babylonians, and in 538 BC, the Persian Ruler Cyrus the Incomparable permitted those Jewish prisoners in Babylon who needed to get back to Jerusalem and revamp the annihilated sanctuary . Various Jews got back to Jerusalem and started assembling the Subsequent Sanctuary, and they completed work on it in 516 BC, during the rule of the Persian Lord Darius I. It was subsequently known as the Sanctuary of Herod, after the Jewish Lord Herod the Incomparable, who extended it.
Roman and Byzantine time
Roman and Byzantine period
The Greeks involved the grounds of Palestine , and it was dependent upon Alexander the Incomparable (around 332 BC), then to his replacements the Ptolemies , then, at that point, to the Seleucids . The city was before long dependent upon the standard of the Roman Domain . Perhaps the earliest and most conspicuous rulers named by the Romans to run Jerusalem was the ruler Herod (around 37 BC). He remodeled the structure of the Sacred House (around 20 BC), and fabricated an incredible fort at the Hebron Door (presently referred to by the Jews as "David's Bastion"). During that period, Islamic sources notice the mission of the Prophet Jesus, child of Mary , and Zechariah and his child John, child of Zechariah, to the Offspring of Israel in Jerusalem , where John was teaching them inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the Prophetic hadith states: "So John, child of Zechariah, accumulated the Offspring of Israel in the Sacred House until the mosque was filled. He sat on the gallery, lauded God and said thanks to Him, then, at that point, said, 'God has directed me with five words to follow up on them, and He has told you to follow up on them… '" .The Gospel in the possession of Christians today likewise specifies that Jesus, child of Mary, reproved the Offspring of Israel for their deviation from the love of God All-powerful inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and their transforming it into a spot for trading.
Around 300 years after the Prophet Jesus, child of Mary , the Roman Realm was separated into the Western Roman Domain in the west, and the Byzantine Domain in the east. The Byzantine Realm stayed in charge of Jerusalem , so Jerusalem turned into a Christian city , and they constructed the Congregation of the Revival in it . Concerning the Al-Aqsa Mosque, it stayed as it was without development. In the year 614, the Persians involved the city of Jerusalem with the assistance of the Jews , after a long conflict against the Byzantine Romans . This happened during the period where the Prophet Muhammad was shipped off Mecca , as the Qur'an makes reference to the narrative of the conflicts in Surat Al-Rum : " The Romans have been defeated."2In the most minimal piece of the earth, however after their loss they will overcome.3 ( 2 ) The Byzantine Romans before long got back to control in the year 624 , and during that period the place that is known for the Al-Aqsa Mosque turned into a landfill , in retribution against the Jews , since the Honorable Stone was their qibla .
The period of the Prophet Muhammad
The Buraq Wall , where the Prophet Muhammad tied his mount Buraq during his Isra and Mi'raj venture .
Al-Aqsa Mosque had an extraordinary significance during the time of the Prophet Muhammad , as it was the principal Qiblah for Muslims after the Prophet Muhammad's relocation to Medina in the year 1 AH , comparing to 622 Promotion . Muslims would confront Al-Aqsa Mosque in their requests , and they stayed here for roughly 16 months. .Al-Bara' container Azib portrayed that he said: " When the Prophet, may God favor him and award him harmony, showed up in Medina, he asked toward the Sacred House for sixteen or seventeen months, and he wanted to confront the Kaaba, so God uncovered : " We have unquestionably seen the turning of your face toward the paradise. So We will definitely go you to a qiblah with which you will be satisfied. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. Furthermore, any place you are, turn your points toward it. Furthermore, to be sure, the people who were given the Sacred writing realize that it is reality from reality." Their Ruler, and God isn't ignorant about what they do. 144

Al-Aqsa Mosque was the objective of the Prophet Muhammad on the marvelous excursion known as the Isra and Mi'raj , the evening of the 27th of Rajab, a decade after the mission (3 BC), as Muslims accept that the Prophet Muhammad left the Hallowed Mosque joined by the Holy messenger Gabriel riding the Buraq , then slid into Al-Aqsa Mosque and attached the Buraq to the ring of the mosque entryway at the Buraq Wall , and drove every one of the prophets in supplication, [ 30 ] then, at that point, he climbed from the Honorable Stone to over seven sky, passing by the prophets: Adam , John, child of Zachariah , Jesus, child of Mary , Joseph, Idris , Aaron, Moses , and Abraham .
