Masjidil Aqsa: A Meeting Point of History, Faith, and Hope for Muslims

Masjidil Aqsa, a name familiar to Muslims worldwide. More than just a holy site, it holds a long history, spiritual significance, and a burning hope in every Muslim's heart. Let's explore the irreplaceable essence of Masjidil Aqsa.

 

1. First Qiblah and Holy Land: Before migrating to Madinah, Prophet Muhammad SAW and Muslims faced Masjidil Aqsa during prayer. This shows its importance in Islam's journey. Moreover, the Quran mentions Baitul Maqdis (Masjidil Aqsa) as a blessed holy land.

2. The Journey of Isra' Mi'raj: Masjidil Aqsa was the starting point of Prophet Muhammad's SAW night journey with Angel Gabriel. There, he met previous prophets and received the five daily prayers. This event further emphasizes Masjidil Aqsa's significance and spiritual connection with Prophet Muhammad SAW.

3. Multiplied Reward for Prayer: Prophet Muhammad SAW said, "Prayer in Masjidil Aqsa is equivalent to 250 prayers in other mosques, and prayer in the Prophet's Mosque is equivalent to 1000 prayers in other mosques." (Hadith narrated by Ahmad). This Hadith motivates Muslims to worship in Masjidil Aqsa, as its rewards are multiplied.

4. Forgiveness of Sins: Prophet Muhammad SAW also said, "Whoever prays in Masjidil Aqsa, Allah SWT will forgive his sins for 40 nights." (Hadith narrated by Ibn Majah). This virtue reminds Muslims to maintain faith and purify themselves through prayer in Masjidil Aqsa.

5. Hope for Liberation and Unity: Masjidil Aqsa currently faces a difficult situation. However, the hope for liberation and unity among Muslims remains alive. The desire to freely worship again in Masjidil Aqsa is a prayer and aspiration constantly offered by Muslims worldwide.
