Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the first comprehensive survey of the abundant early Islamic sources that recognize the historical Jewish bond to the Temple Mount (Masjid al-Aqsa) and Jerusalem. Analyzing these sources in light of the views of contemporary Muslim religious scholars, thinkers and writers, who – in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict – deny any Jewish ties to the Temple Mount and promote the argument that no Jewish Temple ever stood on the Temple Mount. The book describes how this process of denying Jewish ties to the site has become the cultural rationale for UNESCO decisions in recent years regarding holy sites in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron, which use Muslim Arabic terminology and overlook the Jewish (and Christian) history and sanctification of these sites. Denying the Jewish ties to the Temple Mount for political purposes inadvertently undermines the legitimacy of Islam’s sanctification of Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock as well as the credibility of the most important sources in Arabic, which constitute the classics of Islam and provide the foundation for its culture and identity. Identifying and presenting the Jewish sources in the Bible, Babylonian Talmud and exegesis on which these Islamic traditions are based, this volume is a key resource for readers interested in Islam, Judaism, religion and political science and history in the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The al-Aqsa Mosque -Historic Incidents A Miracle indeed! Prophet Mohammed first talked about al-Aqsa Mosque as 'Miraj 'incident in his Night Journey episode; a vision of the journey revealed there in 622CE [Quran CH 17; Sura Isra]. The incident introduced revelation about the "Farthest Mosque (Al-Masjid-ul-Aqsa) to the believers, the mosque was built 55 years after the death of Muhammad. It is utterly impossible that Muhammad visited the mosque on his Night Journey. When the Arabs conquered Jerusalem in 637CE, they found the Temple Mount abandoned and filled with refuse. `Umar Ibne Khattab ordered it cleaned and he performed a prayer there. The two Islamic shrines were built afterwards; (1) The Dome of the Rock built by Caliph `Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan around 72/691 CE, and (2) The al-Aqsa mosque proper, built at the end of the 7th Century. Re-cap: The Temple of Solomon had been completely destroyed in 70 AD/CE; Prophet Mohammed's Miraj (Night Journey) occurred in 622 AD (twelfth year of Muhammad's mission); Mohammed died in 633CE. Jerusalem conquered by Arabs in 637CE, in 691 AD Caliph Abd' Malik began building two Islamic shrines (Dome of Rock and al-Aqsa mosque). Solomon's Temple didn't existed at the dawn of Islam, and it does not provide anymore any better solution to mosque problem. Additionally, at around 622 CE, Jerusalem was not in the hand of the Muslims reign, rather it was in Christian hand. There was no Mosque of any type in that place (not even a church). The Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque (both are on the site of Solomon's Temple which had been destroyed A.D. 70 by the Romans). Mohammed died approximately 600 years afterwards, building of the above two shrines were resumed roughly 53 years after the death of Muhammad. That's a recorded history Muslims in general feel proud of.

Excerpt: Jerusalem (Hebrew: .), ISO 259-3 Yru alaym, "Abode of Peace"; Arabic: .), al-Quds, "The Holy Sanctuary") is the capital of Israel, though not internationally recognized as such. If the area and population of East Jerusalem is included, it is Israel's largest city in both population and area, with a population of 763,800 residents over an area of 125.1 km (48.3 sq mi). Located in the Judean Mountains, between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern edge of the Dead Sea, modern Jerusalem has grown far beyond the boundaries of the Old City. Jerusalem is a holy city to the three major Abrahamic religions-Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In Judaism, Jerusalem has been the holiest city since, according to the Biblical Old Testament, King David of Israel first established it as the capital of the united Kingdom of Israel in c. 1000 BCE, and his son Solomon commissioned the building of the First Temple in the city. In Christianity, Jerusalem has been a holy city since, according to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified in c. 30 CE, and 300 years later Saint Helena identified the pilgrimage sites of Jesus' life. In Sunni Islam, Jerusalem is the third-holiest city. It became the first Qibla, the focal point for Muslim prayer (Salah) in 610 CE, and, according to...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of world’s documentary heritage rests in vulnerable, little-known and often inaccessible archives. Many of these archives preserve information that may cast new light on historical phenomena and lead to their reinterpretation. But such rich collections are often at risk of being lost before the history they capture is recorded. This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Endangered Archives Programme at the British Library, established to document and publish online formerly inaccessible and neglected archives from across the globe. From Dust to Digital showcases the historical significance of the collections identified, catalogued and digitised through the Programme, bringing together articles on 19 of the 244 projects supported since its inception. These contributions demonstrate the range of materials documented — including rock inscriptions, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and sound archives — and the wide geographical scope of the Programme. Many of the documents are published here for the first time, illustrating the potential these collections have to further our understanding of history.

Download or read book Jerusalem in Muhammad s Strategy written by Abdallah Ma’rouf Omar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to study the detailed political relationship between the Prophet Muhammad and Jerusalem in a number of Muslim sources. Usually, the study of this relationship in Muslim sources has always been limited to the oral traditions of the Prophet Muhammad on the virtues of Jerusalem, the Holy Land and al-Aqsa Mosque, in addition to Muhammad’s famous Night Journey. This book takes this issue in a new direction, revealing that the Prophet Muhammad was, in fact, the true planner of the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem that took place five years after his death. This conquest marked a major shift in the history of the Holy Land and changed the face of that region. This book opens the gate for understanding the way in which the Prophet Muhammad shaped the image of Jerusalem and built its status in the Muslim mind.
