Maryam Amir – Tour of Masjid alAqsa

Say that this is not Masjid Al Aqsa, that this is the Dome of the

Rock. Is called the Dome of the Rock, but the Dome of the Rock is

within the Masjid Al Aqsa compound. This whole entire area

is Masjid Al Aqsa. Masjid Al Aqsa is in the heart of Al quts of

Jerusalem, and yes, this incredible recitation rings

throughout the city.

To get to Meshel Aksa, you walk through the Old City. It is filled

with so much joy and festivity, markets and people, and then you

get to one of the many green doors which surround mashal Aksa. When

they open, you enter the Masjid Al Aqsa compound. All of this is mas

there are five musallahs in it, Al Buraq, al qbli, al marwani, al

Rahma and the dam of the rock, kubata, sukhra, every stone, every

tree in this massive compound is all part of Masjid Al Aqsa, the

blessed Masjid in which not a single spot hasn't been locked on

by a prophet or an angel. This is that same area that you just saw,

except with the Dome of the Rock behind us and filled with

believers. And this, if you look all the way ahead and see those

trees beyond it, is a wall where the Prophet Muhammad, peace be

upon him tied al burraq during israwa naraj. This is the front of

one of the five masalas in mashallah called Al buroq. This is

an inside look. And when you step outside, you see a libli, which is

also sometimes called Al Aqsa. This is a view between the Dome of

the Rock and Al glibli, which, again is sometimes called Al Aqsa,

but this entire area is Al Aqsa. Here is a front view of Al qlibli.

And let's go inside.

Coming out of klibli, let's head to El murwani again. This entire

area is MIT that dome is from libli, which we just exited. Those

tents are because of Arctic caf and Ramadan. And this is the

outside of El marwani. The Crusaders used El marwani as

stables for horses, and in fact, they had desecrated the entirety

of masala. In the 1920s the British forcibly closed this area,

and because it's a subterranean Masjid dirt and trees grew over

it. In the 90s, Palestinians beautifully excavated and

renovated it.

This is the inside of Al marwani. You can still see a ring which the

horses were kept on during the time of Crusaders. You can just

imagine Angel Gabriel, Virgin Mary, Prophet Zechariah, Prophet

Jesus. Peace be upon all of them being present here and in all of

the areas of Mashallah. Leaving al marwani, we are going to AR Rahma.

It is said that within this musallah, Imam Al qazali, secluded

himself and wrote a hiya rule muddin. On the other side of that

far back wall outside of Mashallah. Aqsa is a cemetery. Are

buried two companions of the Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon

him who helped open mashallah Ibn swam royal anhu, whose wife was um

haram bin binha, the martyr of the sea, and shaded Ibn aus rule, the

Allahu Anhu. From this view, the cemetery is to the back right the

Old City and Aksa are behind us. This is called the street of

martyrs Toria. That hill is where the Companions encamped waiting

for Omar Al ahaanhu to come at the behest of the head of the

Christian community, who said that Omar was the person described in

their books as the one to receive the keys to the Holy City. Omer

accepted the case with immense humility, and he established a

policy of safety, justice and peace for the Jews and Christians

of the city as well. He asked Bilal to make the Advan and with

deep emotion, for the first time, Bilal rodi Aloha Anhu made the

event in mashallah Aqsa. Unfortunately, I don't have

footage of an entire section of Aqsa. However, let's go ahead into

the Dome of the Rock. The Dome of the Rock is where ummedurda, the

scholar, would teach. She would teach within it and outside of it,

the Imam of Mischel Aqsa, Sheik Yusuf, Abu senana, taught us.

There were 20,000 women scholars who graduated nearby to Aqsa and

would teach here and travel to Syria to teach there. That

tradition continues as women scholars continue to learn and

teach in Aqsa today, Masjid Al Aqsa is the third holiest Masjid

in Islam, and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

Taught, there is not a single inch of Al Quds where a prophet has not

prayed and an angel has not stood a.
