This is a great piece. Nothing mentioned is untrue. As a child i used to marvel at the stories of Jewish prophets and couldn't understand why everyone criticizes Israel so much when they had such great prophets. But then I understood Zionism. I wish for Palestine's freedom and for more peaceful times to come.

[thdawg]

Basic common knowledge. Just shows how real Islam is than most of the religions. My scholar use to give lectures about these stories of the Prohets. Its absolutely amazing.

In Ethiopia and Eritrea Christians also prostrate during prayers. We also use the word “Beit” for house or place, “Beit Christian” means house of Christians/church, “Beit megbbi” means restaurant, etcetera. But mosques are simply called Mesgid/mosque

A great series, from a wonderful person. A treasure trove of information. So glad that I found this videos.
I just wish there weren't a sound effects in the background, it's annoying when listening for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I do'nt think effects are suitable for long videos

According to biblical accounts from Biblical scholars, the site of Masjid Al-Aqsa is not where Solomon's temple originally stood, rather it was 600 feet away in the city of David. There is a video documenting this done by Christians.

[yahyaondigo]

Maa Shaa Allah! May Allah reward you abundantly for expounding very well on this very vital and relevant subject. I like your concordance approach to the subject matter rather than confrontational approach. I have a number of issue though to discuss with you on this subject. Since I have written a book entitled: Who was the son of sacrifice Ishmael or Isaac?

1. We know that in Islam our primary evidence is the Qur'an and Sunnah. The Bible may be used as secondary or corroborating evidence.

2. When we discuss religious and historical affairs especially dealing with places of worship such as: Masjid, Church, Monasteries, Synagogues and Temples. I strongly think we cannot use the English dictionary to define the meanings of these places of worship cause both the Bible and the Qur'an for that matter were not revealed in the English Language.

3. The widely spoken temple of Solomon or rather that Prophet Solomon built a temple for the worship of Allah has no evidence neither in the Qur'an nor the Sunnah. On the contrary there is an authentic hadith that the second Masjid to be build after Masjid Al-Haraam (the Kaaba) was Masjid al-Aqsaa also mentioned in Qur'an 17:1.

4. The word temple as you rightly said in your presentation is used for places of idol worship such as the Hindu temple, the Buddhist temple etc. It is inconceivable that Prophet Solomon built a temple for the worship of idols as he was accused of by the ancient scribes of the Old Testament (1King 11:1-5).

5. Rather Solomon if at all he build a house for the worship of Allah it is perhaps plausible that he renovated the Masjid in Jerusalem that may have been built by Prophet Abraham and his son Isaac (p.b.u.t) reflect on the following in Sahih Bukhari

Narrated Abu Dharr (r.a): I said, "O Allah's Messenger Muhammad (s.a.w)! Which masjid was built first?" He replied, "Al-Masjid-al-Haraam (the grand mosque at Makkah)." I asked, "Which (masjid was built) next?" He replied, "Al-Masjid-al-Aqsaa (the mosque in Jerusalem)." I asked, "What was the period of construction between the two?" He replied, "Forty years." He added, "Wherever (you may be, and) the Salaah (prayer) time becomes due, perform the Salaah there, for the best thing is to do so [i.e., to offer the Salaah in time]."

6. Forty years between the building of the grand Masjid in Makkah and the grand Masjid IN Jerusalem helps us to make an intelligent guess that it is most likely that Prophet Abraham who built the grand Masjid in Makkah with his son Ishmael is the same who built the grand Masjid in Jerusalem with his son Isaac famously known as Masjid al-Aqsaa. That was later renovated by Prophet King Solomon. A difference of forty years in the construction of the two Masaajid would most likely have found Prophet Abraham still alive since we are told in the Bible that Abraham died at a good age of 175 years.

7. To call Masjid Al-Haraam in Makkah the temple of Abraham is a bit queer since the term temple has neither been used in the Qur'an nor the Sunnah.

8. No where in the Qur'an or the Sunnah or the Bible does it say Prophet King Solomon built a temple. What we have is that Prophet King David was told by Allah that his son Solomon would built a House for the worship of Allah alone. The term used as you rightly said is Bayt (House) 2 Samuel 7:8-13. For you to extrapolate that to mean temple is a bit far fetched.

9. Having established that Prophet King Solomon (p.b.u.h) did not built a temple for the worship of Idols. Therefore the claims of the Zionist to rebuild a temple that was never built in the first place only makes the situation in Jerusalem more toxic than it already is. Moreover, there is already a Masjid in the area for the worship of Allah. To make the claim that Solomon built a temple only exacerbate the current genocidal situation in Palestine.

Thank you. I think that is the wisdom of sticking to the original language as translation can cause a lot of confusions. I stick to Baitullah al-Haram or Masjidil Haram, thank you.
Although you are absolutely correct regarding the use of "temple" but at least in my country, where Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucius are also the main religions practiced, that word is heavily associated with idols and cause a lot of confusion.
Even more, to a certain extent (no offence to the other religion) there are some degree of disgust (un-rightly so) to that word (temple = kuil : I can see many fellow Muslims in my country will get offended if you ask them if they pray in a "kuil" instead of a masjid). We stick to Masjid thank you.
I humbly think that not all Muslims say Kaaba is the literal house of God and thus God stays there (ﻣﺨﺎﻟﻔﺘﻪ ﻟﻠﺤﻮﺍﺩﺙ) . Well, at least not the Muslims that I know of.
I humbly think it's the responsibility of parents to explain to their children about the 20 compulsory attributes/characteristic of God.

Just to correct you in the 1:20 minute mark the temple of Solomon was built by prophet Jacob pbuh and was called masjid al aqsa and was was built 40 years after prophet Abraham pbuh death Solomon pbuh just expanded and made it a magnificent masjid.
