Al Aqsa Mosque

Ibrahim (PBUH), referred to Beteyel as "Masjidb> Al-Aqsa", which means the farthest place of worship of the One God.
For this reason, Masjidb> Al-Aqsa is a holy place of worship for the Muslims, along with Kaba in Makkah and The Prophet's (PBUH) Mosque in Medina.
In that night, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led all the Prophets of Allah (PBUT) in prayer in the Holy Mosque (Masjidb> Al-Aqsa).

Encyclopedia: Al Aqsa Mosque

The term used for mosque, "masjidb>", 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 masjidb>.
Usually, "servant" is interpreted to mean Muhammad, "sacred place of prostration" as the area around the Kaaba where the mosque of that name ( Masjidb> al-Haram) stands today, and "farthest mosque" as the area on the Noble Sanctuary ( Temple Mount) where the mosque of that name (the Al-Aqsa Mosque) stands today.
This argument is supported by the fact that, in Quran 17:7, Solomon's Temple is described as a mosque (using the same word, masjidb>), and is confirmed by Muhammad 's early biographers.

...::: Masjidb> Al Aqsa :::...

The building became known as Masjidb> al-Aqsa, Al-Aqsa Mosque, although in reality the whole area of the Noble Sanctuary is considered Al-Aqsa Mosque, the entire precincts inviolable according to Islamic law.
Al Aqsa Mosque was the first "Qibla" for Muslims - the place toward which Muslims turned in prayer.
It was many years into the Islamic mission (16 months after the Hijrah), that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was instructed to change the Qibla from Jerusalem to Mecca.

The Masjidb> al Haram is the mosque surrounding the Ka'bah.
To show significant this masjidb> is, one can just look at the number of rewards gained in one prayer offered in it; worth one hundred thousand prayers than any other prayers offered elsewhere.

Significance of Masjidb> Al-Aqsa (Jerusalem) to Muslims and Jews

When in Masjidb> al Aqsa Haram Shareef the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) led Salaah and was followed by all the previous Prophets Alayhis salaam.
Hence the whole of Masjidb> al Aqsa precincts are unique in that this is the only place on earth where all the Prophets Alayhis salaam performed Salaah in congregation.
The miraculous journey of the holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) from Makkah to Masjidb> al Aqsa (al Isra) and his ascension through the heavens (al Ma'araj) has linked Jerusalem to the Muslims hearts and minds.

The Prophet Muhammad.org

Glory be to Him who took His servant on a journey by night from the Masjidb> al-Haram to the Masjidb> al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, in order to show him some of Our Signs.
In verse 3 of Surat ar-Rum, it is said that the Romans had been defeated in "the lowest place on Earth." The Arabic for that is "Adna al Ard," and is translated in some texts as meaning "a land nearby." Yet, that does not accurately reflect the original meaning.
The Arabic word "adna" means "the lowest," and comes from the word "deni," which means "low." "Ard" means the "earth." "Adna al Ard" therefore means the lowest place on earth.

The Road to Makkah Hajj and Umrah Ramadan in Masjidb>-al-Haram

That is why I found myself, like many others, walking towards Masjidb> al-Haram, the most blessed of places in the universe, during the most blessed of times in the universe, the nights of Ramadan.
Upon entering the Masjidb>, I went up to the second floor to escape the bustle of the crowd and find a calm spot with an unobstructed view of the Kaaba, which I had circumambulated several hours earlier as part of the Umrah.
Both of them are commemorating and celebrating that conduit between the divine and humanity, the conduit of revelation consisting of the Messengers and the Books of Allah.

Essay, Oleg Grabar, Copyright©2000 BRIIFS 2, 2

Hence, the Haram was simultaneously endowed with unique religious associations of its own (such as pilgrimage and the Prophets Journey), interpreted as a routine urban congregational mosque (reflecting changes in Muslim piety) and simply the vehicle of long-established modes of behaviour (such as coming to Jerusalem as a pilgrim).
The Haram did not simply mediate between two worlds in the space of Jerusalem, but also in the spiritual growth of men of faith.
The dimensions of the Haram were established artificially, since the platform was cut out of the rock at its northern end and elevated upward from the sharply sloping terrain on most of its western and eastern sides and entirely on its southern one.

The Modern History of Islamic Jerusalem: Academic Myths and Propaganda

By the ninth century CE, the Haram al-Sharif, where the Dome of the Rock and the Aqsa Mosque stood, was also dedicated to non-Islamic religions.
Muslims proceeded to build shrines to various religions, not only to Islam, as soon as they entrenched themselves around Jerusalem's sacred-rock area.
Al-Maqdisi, for instance, devotes a great deal of space in his book to the merits of the Aqsa Mosque and the holiness of Jerusalem and its saints.

Al Aqsa was the second Mosque established on earth after Al- Masjidb> Al-Haram in Mecca.
The existence of a Jewish state in the heart of the Muslim World and the occupation of Al Masjidb> Al-Aqsa is symbolic of the weakness of the Muslim Ummah and Muslims&; own straying from the path of Islam, disobeying Allah and embracing imported ideologies.
In addition, there are several verses in the Holy Quran and several Ahadith of the Prophet that describe both the significance of Baitul-Maqdis in Islam and the fact that Allah has blessed the land around it.

But the historical account that I read suggested that the identification of the particular mosque to which Muhammed flew as being the mosque in Jerusalem was a later invention.
