Jerusalem, the land of prophets, has a special place and holiness in Islam. It became the focus of interest, primarily for the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) and also for the whole Islamic world; due to the fact that it was the first qibla (the direction of worship) and also it is the city in which the Masjid al-Aqsa takes place, where the Messenger of Allah (PBU) had entered into it and had worshipped on the night of Isra (journey from Mecca to Jerusalem).
