Omar Suleiman – Al-Aqsa Past Present And Promise Promo

			If you were okay with the status quo
		

			of Masjid al-Aqsa before October 7, 2023,
		

			then that's part of the problem.
		

			With everything that's happening right now in the
		

			world, everything that's happening in Gaza, everything that's
		

			happening with the cruel Zionist project, it becomes
		

			so much more imperative for us to connect
		

			ourselves to that place.
		

			And subhanAllah, for many Muslims, al-Aqsa is
		

			just this distant, ambiguous concept.
		

			Because we go to Mecca, we go to
		

			Medina, we know about Umrah, we know about
		

			Hajj, but the concept of Masjid al-Aqsa
		

			is simply this thing that exists in our
		

			textbooks and this tragedy that exists on our
		

			screens.
		

			One of the things that I want us
		

			to do inshaAllah ta'ala on this journey
		

			is to go through the history of Masjid
		

			al-Aqsa before the Prophet ﷺ, during the
		

			Prophet ﷺ, after the Prophet ﷺ, the many
		

			scholars who dwelled around Masjid al-Aqsa, the
		

			many Muslims who contributed to its construction, and
		

			the richness of what exists in that blessed
		

			place.
		

			And especially now with everything that's happening, what
		

			does the Prophet ﷺ tell us about what's
		

			to come with Masjid al-Aqsa?
		

			When are we going to see its full
		

			liberation?
		

			So join us with binlahi ta'ala for
		

			the next 10 weeks as we talk about
		

			our first Qibla, Masjid al-Aqsa.
