I Love you Palestine
Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the rock and its history: a major part of Jerusalem. You must stand there to feel the history: irrespective of your religion. Its a mind-blowing experience.Now on the visit, if you are Muslim, then just go and visit. Lots of entry gates. If not, then except Friday and Saturday, you will have small windows to visit (morning and noon). The only entry gate is located just right side of the entrance gate of the western wall from Dung gate. This entrance is bit tricky to locate (and again, just right side of the western wall entrance from the Dung gate). The security people and others inside the place are courteous and helpful. You can take pictures, walk around and see the Jerusalem from all angles. Just go and feel the place. Dont miss it.
Al-Aqsa Mosque , located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is the third holiest site in Islam. The mosque was built on top of the Temple Mount, known as the Al Aqsa Compound or Haram esh-Sharif in Islam. Muslims believe that Muhammad was transported from the Great Mosque of Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey. Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the 17th month after his migration from Mecca to Medina, when Allah directed him to turn towards the Kaaba in Mecca.

One of the best mosques to pray for Muslims. The mosque is the third most ranked mosque on earth. Allah has blessed this mosque. May Almighty Allah protect Masjid Al-Aqsa for us.
Al-Aqsa Mosque (Arabic: ٱلْمَسْجِد ٱلْأَقْصَىٰ, romanized: al-Masjid al-ʾAqṣā, IPA: [ʔælˈmæsdʒɪd ælˈʔɑqsˤɑ] (listen), the Farthest Mosque), located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is the third holiest site in Islam. The mosque was built on top of the Temple Mount, known as the Al Aqsa Compound or Haram esh-Sharif in Islam. Muslims believe that Muhammad was transported from the Great Mosque of Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey. Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the 17th month after his migration from Mecca to Medina, when Allah directed him to turn towards the Kaaba in Mecca.The covered mosque building was originally a small prayer house erected by Umar, the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate, but was rebuilt and expanded by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik and finished by his son al-Walid in 705 CE. The mosque was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 746 and rebuilt by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 754. It was rebuilt again in 780. Another earthquake destroyed most of al-Aqsa in 1033, but two years later the Fatimid caliph Ali az-Zahir built another mosque whose outline is preserved in the current structure. The mosaics on the arch at the qibla end of the nave also go back to his time.During the periodic renovations undertaken, the various ruling dynasties of the Islamic Caliphate constructed additions to the mosque and its precincts, such as its dome, facade, its minbar, minarets and the interior structure. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they used the mosque as a palace and the Dome of the Rock as a church, but its function as a mosque was restored after its recapture by Saladin in 1187. More renovations, repairs and additions were undertaken in the later centuries by the Ayyubids, Mamluks, Ottomans, the Supreme Muslim Council, and Jordan. Today, the Old City is under Israeli control, but the mosque remains under the administration of the Jordanian/Palestinian-led Islamic Waqf.
3rd Sacred place of Islamic religion. The peace of this mosque says that no religion is best except Islam and no God is likely to be worshipped except Allah.
The holy Aqsa mosque, every time I get to visit and pray there the holiness in that place really catches my heart, I wish God blesses that place with peace soon
The best masjid in Alquds. God bless
Al Aqsa mosque, my favorite place.
The only place to enter this place is thru Western Wall, especially for non moslem. One of must place to visit. Only moslem can enter the building.
Beautiful Mosque, Ive been here three times now. Anybody considering going, then please do with no hesitation. There is no trouble as you may see on TV. The Palestinians are most welcoming people.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third most important place for the Muslims. A lot of old, true and important histories are related with this mosque.

Historical and famous mosque. Fantastic experience to visit. Stunning architecture and decoration inside, the ceiling is magnificent. Privileged and humbled for the chance to reflect.
Baitul Muqaddas was created by Hazrat Suleman Alaihis Salam, who is one of the messengers of Allah, for us Muslims, Baitul Muqaddas is not like normal mosques, but it is related to our faith and faith, we should love him in the same way as love Kaaba and Masjid is from Nabvi because Baitul Muqaddas is the second mosque to be built on earth, the first Qibla of Muslims🥰🥰
If you visit this place it will life in your heart for ever, you will fall in love with this place; this is our holy mosque Al-Aqsa which located in AlQuds, Palestine capital city.

An amazing experience! I would highly recommend to visit
Al-Aqsa Mosque also known as al-Aqsa, is an Islamic holy place in the Old City of Jerusalem. The site that includes the mosque (along with the Dome of the Rock) is also referred to as al-Haram ash-Sharif or Sacred Noble Sanctuary.
So much history. SubhanAllah. May Allah preserve and protect it and keep it a space where Allah is worshipped and glorified.May Allah alleviate those suffering in the compound and around it.
Despite all the coverage and negativity on the media. I was blown away when I reached there. All the locals are so welcoming and very hospitable. You can walk around freely during the day and at night without any problems. Must visit. Full of history. Takes your breath away. Every corner stone had a purpose in history is unbelievable.
Its is the 3rd most holistic place for muslims all around the world. Now a days it is engaged by Israel terrorists. Soon it will got back to muslims .insha allah
Al-Masjid El-Aqsa is an Arabic name which means the Farthest Mosque. To understand its name, and its importance, it must be remembered that the roots of Islam began in the Arabian Peninsula (currently KSA). Ten years after the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) received his first revelation, he made a miraculous night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem. During his interval in Jerusalem, the Prophet stopped to pray at the rock (now covered by the golden Dome), and was given the commandment to pray five times a day. Today, Muslims throughout the World use Mecca as the direction of prayers (Qibla). However, for 16½ months following the Prophet Mohammads miraculous journey, Jerusalem was the Qibla. There are 11 gates to Al-Aqsa Mosque: 7 of which are open. Of the 4 closed gates, one is the Golden Gate. The walls stretch for 12 miles over an area with a diameter of 2.5 miles and rise to an average height of 40 feet, and a width of more than 7 feet. It contains 43 surveillance towers and 11 gates, Seven of which are presently open. - Bab El Amoud - Bab Assahira - Bab Al khalil - Bab ennabi Dawooud - Bab El Magharbeh - Albab El jadid - Lions Gate - Bab Arrahmah
For Muslims, Jerusalem is a site of key events in the life of Jesus and other important figures. Its also the spot where, according to traditional interpretations of the Koran and other texts, the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven.
The third most holy site in the Muslim faith, rich islamic Archetect, place deep in history. I loved the diversity of the place where you see worshippers from all over the world come here to raise their spirituality and learn something about history.
I love this place. I want to settle down here one day.
One of the most holy Islamic places, located in the old city of Jerusalem, here is the land of Isra and Maraj.
A beautiful place. Tranquil and religious. One of the holiest places for Muslims and a true structural and archeological pillar of Islam. The night time view from my flat is present below.
One of the three holy mosques in Islam - a must visit if are able as required by hadith of Prophet Mohammad SAW. an old mosque with dark dome often mistakenly depicted using pictures of the Dome of the Rock and its golden dome. the upper level is the main prayer hall but the lower level houses the remnant of early prophets visit and worshipping. huge plaza and garden with olive trees
It is inspiring, of course, to be on the Temple Mount. I arrived early and had the grounds nearly to myself for 15 minutes, because tour groups all stopped near the entrance to group and brief. The mosque is pretty enough. Non-Muslims were not permitted inside, which was disappointing but understandable. (Other historic mosques around the world HAVE let me in.). Most of the attendants were polite and helpful. A few could use a little hospitality training.
The Jewel of Jerusalem. This place is not only spiritual and grants you peace, but it is one Masterpiece of Umayyad architecture and art. The details are magnificent internally and from the exterior. Great iznic tiles and a magnanimous golden dome. This is one great Site for Holy Jerusalem were you can see it from many places, especially during sunset as its reflecting the light wonderfully.
Al- Aqsa mosque is one the most beautiful places that I have been in my life. The mosque considered as a holy by muslims and Christians, many people pray and tour in Al Aqsa all the year.
You must strongly visit them.. and i myself would like to go there again..and again..if Allah give permissions
The most attractive and beautiful place when pursuing of happiness and quietness
The most famous muslim and Christian heritage
Qibly mosque is a humble mosque at the end of the Al-Aqsa compound and has lots of history.It used to be the direction that Muslims used to pray towards before they prayed towards the Ka’bah 🕋.A very calm and peaceful place, perfect to spend some time in, in between prayers. Lots to discover around the mosque and learn about.
I can’t get enough of this place!!!

Mosque located within the same plaza as the dome of the rock. It is a worship place so you must be respectful all the time. The place can also be accessed through the access point at the Dung gate. No entrance fee, however check the entrance times that are usually two, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Closed on Fridays.
Al-Aqsa Mosque (al-Haram al-Sharif) is a historical places of worship, currently under occupation, but one day it will be free, and it will be open for everyone.

THE OFFICIALJERUSALEMTRAVEL SITEJLM2USponsored ContentAL-AQSA MOSQUETripAdvisor Traveler RatingTripAdvisor Reviews288 REVIEWSSHAREPhoto: Al-Aqsa MosqueGET DIRECTIONSA common misconception regarding the Dome of the Rock, which is perhaps the image most associated with the Temple Mount, is that it is a mosque.In fact, it is a shrine whose significance is derived from the Foundation Stone, which lies at its heart. Indeed, the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Al Masjid Al-Aqsa in Arabic), often confused with the Dome of the Rock, is where Muslims worship when they come to the Mount, which is considered the third holiest site to Islam after Mecca and Medina.The mosque is the second oldest in the world, after the Kaaba in Mecca. Although Muslim tradition dates Al-Aqsa back to Isaac’s son, Jacob, the mosque was first built at its present location by the Ummayad Caliph Abd al-Malik and his son al-Walid, and completed in 705 CE. In the ensuing centuries, the structure was destroyed by earthquakes several times, always to be restored by the ruling caliph.The mosque’s name, Al-Aqsa, literally means “the farthest,” and is a reference to Muhammad’s “Night Journey” from Mecca. In this context, “farthest” means “farthest from Mecca” and is widely believed to connote Jerusalem, although the Koran does not mention the city by name.Besides the different usages, another thing that distinguishes the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Dome of the Rock is its design. As opposed to the Dome of Rock’s Byzantine style, Al-Aqsa Mosque is characteristic of early Islamic architecture. It is 35,000 square meters in size and its larger precincts can contain up to 400,000 worshipers. It has four minarets and a beautiful, tile-covered facade with 14 Romanesque arches. The Al-Aqsa Mosque’s main ablution fountain, known as al-Kas (“the cup”), which is used by worshipers to wash their arms and legs, is located between Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock. It dates back to 709 CE.The mosque is on the southern end of the Temple Mount, which visitors can access from the Western Wall plaza. Tourists must dress modestly, and women should cover their hair. Shoes are not allowed inside the mosque, but instead are left outside on shelves or carpeting.
The whole compound of Al Aqsa is the mosque and the third holiest in Islam. It includes in it the Qibli mosque.Situated in the old city of Jerusalem.Most religious Jews regard entry into the al-Aqsa compound (which they call the Temple Mount) as a violation of Jewish law. This restriction is based on the belief that even though the Temple (of Solomon) was destroyed centuries ago, the precise location of the Holy of Holies, the sanctuary that was once entered by the High Priest, is not known. Hence the restriction is applied to the entire compound. They believe that the Temple should only be built after the coming of their Messiah, and it is their belief that it would be presumptuous of people to force God’s hand. However, there are several Jewish groups who differ from this opinion. Many Evangelical Christians consider it to be a prerequisite to Armageddon and the Second Coming (of Jesus), and both are actively encouraging the rebuilding of the Temple on the Aqsa ground
All praise to Allah magical experience too much love nice people
