Why is Masjid Al-Aqsa so significant for Muslims?

 Why we love Palestine:


  • Palestine has been the abode and land of the Prophets.
  • Hazrat Ibrahim migrated to Palestine.
  • God Almighty saved Hazrat Lut (A.S.) from the torment that had befallen his nation in the same place.
  • Hazrat Dawood (A.S) settled on this land and also built his altar here.
  • Hazrat Sulaiman (A.S) used to sit in this country and rule over the whole world.
  • The famous story of an ant in which an ant said to the rest of his comrades, "Ants, get into your burrows" took place here in a valley in the city of Ashkelon in this state, which was later called "Wadi al-Naml." It means Valley of Ants. 
  • The sanctuary of Hazrat Zakariya (A.S) is also in this city.
  • Prophet Musa (A.S.) had told his companions about this land to enter this Holy city. He (A.S.) called this city Holy as it was free from polytheism and was the home of the Prophets.
  • Many miracles took place in this city, including the blessed birth of Hazrat Essa (A.S.) from the womb of a virgin Hazrat Maryam (A.S).
  • One of the emblems of the Hour will be the Hazrat Essa's return to earth in the same city.
  • Hazrat Isa (R.A) will kill the Antichrist at Bab-e- Lud in this city.
  • Palestine is the land of Mahshar.
  • Jooj and Majooj will commence attack and riot in the land from this city. 
  • The story of Talut and Jalut took place in this city.
  • Palestine also has the honor of being the first qiblah of Muslims after the obligation of prayer. After the migration, Hazrat Jibraeel (PBUH) had changed the direction of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) from Al-Aqsa Mosque (Palestine) to Baitullah Kaaba (Mecca) during the prayer by the order of ALLAH. The mosque in which this incident took place is still called Masjid Qiblatin.
  •  The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) was brought here from Makkah to Jerusalem (Palestine) before being taken to heaven on the night of Ascension.
  • The Prophets (A.S) prayed here under the guidance of Sarkar Du Aalam (P.B.U.H). Thus, Palestine once again became the abode of all the prophets.
  • Abu Dharr (R.A) says: I asked the Messenger of ALLAH, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, which was the first mosque built on earth? He said, "The Sacred Mosque (Masjid Ul Haram/Khana KAABA)." Then I asked, which was the second one? He (P.B.U.H) said that Al-Aqsa Mosque (ie Jerusalem). I then asked what was the distance between the two? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Forty years old, and wherever you find time for prayer, perform it, so that is the mosque.

Actions speak louder than words

By
 This proverb implies the importance of doing than just saying. Everyone dreams in his life. But only thinking about dreams is not enough. One should do hard work to attain success instead of just talking. Words are nothing if anyone doesn't follow his words in one's practical life.  It's like the famous proverb barking dogs seldom bite.  If anyone doesn't work hard, he will not succeed in his goal. As he is lazy and verbose, he just pays attention to talking instead of doing something. Let's consider the example of a child's learning.  A child learns most of the things from his parents' actions instead of their words. When parents don't carry out their words in action, children also don't take serious their words.  Some parents promised their children to buy gifts or new clothes but they don't purchase them. Most of the parents warn their children that they will punish them for their wrongdoings but they don't punish them actually. Therefore...

Islam promotes the unity

By
 The message of Islam ordained by ALLAH ALMIGHTY is a call upon unity and solidarity. The more we appreciate and practice Islam, the more it will strengthen the unity among us. Contrarily, if we do not appreciate the beauty of Islam as much as we should, then the probability of discord and animosity will increase.                Islam promotes unity not only in Muslims but also in other people. It is Islam that can strengthen the unity among Muslims and other people. There are three ways by which  Islam can strengthen unity. At first , call to believe in one GOD. All Muslims hold onto the belief that there is only one GOD. We believe in one Book that is HOLY QURAN. Muslims offer prayers facing one QIBLAH. We are all the followers of the same Prophet; HOLY PROPHET (P.B.U.H).  Secondly,  our worship is for ALLAH, the one, and the ALMIGHTY. Our faith is in one GOD. We pray, fast, perform our Haj and carry out other sorts of Ibadat...

First Deserve then Desire

By
This is a well-known saying that shows the importance of hard work and consistency. You should pay attention to the course leading towards the glory of success. However, this course includes a lot of hurdles, failures, and difficulties. You should not be disappointed. You should pave your way towards success with hard work. Dreaming is not enough to succeed. If you want to be a well-known person, you should prove it by showing your capacities and abilities. You cannot get anything that you want by just dreaming and building castles in the air. Instead, you have to put real efforts to obtain your objectives. The history of great people is filled with hard work. They were ambitious of the things which they bring them in practical life by their untiring efforts and struggles.  For example, if you wish to be the richest, you should be kind enough to take care of others, particularly those who cannot fulfill their needs even on daily basis. The people dreaming to be rich must ...
