Masjid Al Aqsa was the first Qibla of Muslims before Kaabah Shareef. Masjid Al Aqsa is considered one of the most important religious place after Makkah Shareef and Masjid Nabwi Shareef Madina. Today Masjid Al Aqsa is Occupied by Israel and whenever Israel wants it stops Muslims from offering Prayer in the Masjid Al Aqsa.
