Q: Which is the Al-Aqsa Mosque?

A: Neither. It is the area edged in red (above) and comprises nearly one sixth of the walled old city of Jerusalem. ‘Al-Aqsa’ is the name that is used to describe the whole area surrounded by the wall at the southern-eastern end of walled old Jerusalem. The Al-Aqsa Mosque encloses over 35 acres and encompasses more than 200 buildings, domes, schools, wells, etc. The mosque with the golden dome, Masjid Qubbah Al-Sakhrah (the Dome of the Rock) and the mosque with the grey lead dome, Al Masjid Al Qibli are both part of the walled Al-Aqsa Mosque. Even if you pray under a tree or anywhere within the area edged in red shown above, you are deemed to have prayed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Q: What does the name ‘Al-Aqsa’ Mosque mean?

A: The name translates to ‘the farthest’ mosque, although some scholars have translated it to ‘the remote’ mosque. According to a verse in the Qur’an, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took the journey in a single night from ‘the sacred mosque’ (in Makkah) to ‘the farthest mosque’ (in Jerusalem).

Q: How many gates does the Al-Aqsa Mosque have?

A: The Al-Aqsa Mosque has 5 closed gates and 10 open gates. The latter are: Asbat, Hitta, Prophets (Faisal), Ghawaima (Al Khalil), Al-Nazir, Hadeed, Qattaneen, Mutawadaa (Mutahara), Silsila and Magharibah.

Jerusalem parking lot to be built on private Palestinian land

lifeisliterallylimited:

JERUSALEM (Ma’an) — Israeli authorities in Jerusalem are to build a parking lot on privately-owned Palestinian land in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of the city, a local resident told Ma’an.

The compound is to be built on 4,000 square meters of land owned by Kamal Ubeidat, who told Ma’an that he has a deed from the Ottoman era proving ownership of the land. 

A warrant signed by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat was posted on the property, Ubeidat said.

The warrant said that following a request by the Shimon Hatsadiq association, the Mayor of Jerusalem had agreed to turn land opposite the tomb into “public parking,” noting that the owners of the property had the right to appeal the decision in court within 60 days. 

The municipality’s decision is illegal, Ubeidat said, adding that he would challenge the decision. 

“Why don’t they grant me a permission to build a parking of my own, when they admit the land is mine?’” He told Ma’an.

“The west bank, The gaza strip. Soon to be parking lots, for American tourists and facisist cops, yeah. Fuck zionism.” Propagandhi prophecy.
