Muslim Hands

'Glory be to the One Who took His servant (the Prophet (saw)) by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram (in Makkah) to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (in Al-Quds), whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing'. [The Noble Qur'an, 17:1]

Did you know that Masjid Al-Aqsa is mentioned in the Noble Qur'an, along with Masjid Al-Haram (the Ka'bah)? Watch our video to learn more amazing facts about this blessed site:

 

Masjid Al-Aqsa was a significant location during the Night Journey, where our Prophet (saw) led the prophets (as) in prayer.

Alhamdulillah, we have had the honour of maintaining and renovating this sacred site, including illuminating its prayer halls, sponsoring its olive trees, repairing its cemetery and more. May Allah (swt) reward you for all your help!

We are currently fundraising to install a state-of-the-art lighting system inside the Dome of the Rock Masjid, which sits majestically at the centre of the Blessed Masjid Al-Aqsa complex.
