Al Aqsa Week

What Can I do for Al Aqsa and Palestine?

Keep on visiting this Noble place

Amid the doom and gloom and the Israeli bombs and rockets, this should not lessen our love for Masjid Al Aqsa and our love for the Noble land of Palestine.

Palestine, even though the Zionists have reduced large portions of it to a heap of rubble, will always remain a noble sanctuary whose blessedness has been decreed by Almighty Allah.

Visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa holds immense religious, historical, and spiritual significance in Islam. It is one of the three holiest mosques in Islam, alongside Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid An-Nabawi in Madinah.

Visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa is highly encouraged in Islam for several compelling reasons. Let`s take a look at some of them.

  1. A Place of Immense Reward

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the virtue of visiting Al-Aqsa in the famous hadith:

“A prayer in Al-Masjid Al-Haram (Makkah) is worth 100,000 prayers, a prayer in my Masjid (Madinah) is worth 1,000 prayers, and a prayer in Al-Aqsa is worth 500 prayers.” (Musnad Ahmad, Tabarani)

Visiting and praying in Al-Aqsa offers multiplied rewards compared to regular prayers elsewhere.

  1. Following the Sunnah

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged believers to visit Al-Aqsa and said:

“Do not undertake a journey except to three mosques: Al-Masjid Al-Haram (Ka’bah in Makkah), my Mosque (in Madinah), and Al-Aqsa Mosque (in Jerusalem).” (al-Bukhari, Muslim)

Traveling to Al-Aqsa is an act of devotion and a way to fulfill this prophetic encouragement.

  1. Connection to Islamic History

Al-Aqsa is Islam’s first Qiblah, the direction Muslims initially faced in prayer before it was changed to the Ka’bah in Makkah.

It is the site of the miraculous Isra and Mi’raj, where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ascended to the heavens after leading all the prophets in prayer.

Many prophets, including Prophet Ibrahim (AS), Dawood (AS), and Sulaiman (AS), are linked to this sacred land.

  1. Supporting and Preserving Islamic Heritage

Visiting Al-Aqsa helps keep its significance alive and affirms the Islamic claim to this sacred site.

It provides moral support to the Palestinian people and helps raise global awareness of the importance of protecting Islamic heritage from neglect or political threats.

  1. Seeking Barakah (Blessings)

Allah describes the area surrounding Masjid Al-Aqsa as “blessed” in the Qur’an:

“Glory be to Him Who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed…” (Surah Al-Isra, 17:1)

Many scholars believe that visiting and praying there brings spiritual barakah and healing.

  1. Strengthening the Muslim Ummah

Visiting Al-Aqsa helps maintain unity and solidarity among Muslims worldwide, as it reinforces the collective responsibility of protecting Islamic holy sites.

It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by Palestinians and encourages Muslims to stand for justice and human rights.

  1. Experiencing the Spiritual Atmosphere

Al-Aqsa offers a unique, serene environment where the presence of past prophets and the deep Islamic heritage can be deeply felt.

Pilgrims often report experiencing a profound sense of peace, connection to Allah, and a strengthened faith.

Visiting Al-Aqsa is not only an act of worship but also a powerful statement of faith, love, and commitment to preserving one of Islam’s greatest treasures.
