Encyclopedia: <bb>>Alb>bb>> Aqsa Mosque

Usually, "servant" is interpreted to mean Muhammad, "sacred place of prostration" as the area around the Kaaba where the mosque of that name ( Masjid <bb>>alb>bb>>-Haram) stands today, and "farthest mosque" as the area on the Noble Sanctuary ( Temple Mount) where the mosque of that name (the <bb>>Alb>bb>>-Aqsa Mosque) stands today.
The term used for mosque, "masjid", literally means "place of prostration", and includes monotheistic places of worship such as Solomon's Temple, which in verse 17:7 is described as a masjid.
This argument is supported by the fact that, in Quran 17:7, Solomon's Temple is described as a mosque (using the same word, masjid), and is confirmed by Muhammad 's early biographers.
