Al-Aqsa Mosque المسجد الاقصى Philistine
Al-Aqsa Mosque (Arabic:المسجد الاقصى, IPA /æl’mæsʒɪd æl’ɑqsˁɑ/, About this sound al-Masjid al-Aqsa translit: “the Farthest Mosque”), also known as al-Aqsa, is an Islamic holy place in the Old City of Jerusalem. The mosque itself forms part of the al-Haram ash-Sharif or “Sacred Noble Sanctuary” (along with the Dome of the Rock), a site also known as the Temple Mount and considered the holiest site in Judaism, since it is where the Temple in Jerusalem once stood. Widely considered as the third holiest site in Islam, Muslims believe that the prophet Muhammad was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey. Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the seventeenth month after the emigration, when God ordered him to turn towards the Ka’aba.;
