Masjid Al Aqsa, also referred to as Al-Aqsa Mosque or The Noble Sanctuary, is one of the holiest sites in Islam. Located in the Old City of Jerusalem, it is the third holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Medina. Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was transported to Masjid Al Aqsa during his Night Journey and that the mosque was the first qibla (direction of prayer) before it was changed to Mecca. Masjid Al Aqsa covers an impressive 35 acres and consists of multiple buildings, courtyards, and prayer halls, each with its own significant history. The mosque is also an important site for Christians and Jews and its location in Jerusalem continues to be a contentious issue between Muslims and Jews. Despite its storied past and its current political significance, Masjid Al Aqsa remains a place of spiritual importance for Muslims worldwide.
