WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.720 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:24.329 --> 00:00:27.329 A monument of deception. 00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:34.429 What do you know about the "Temple"? 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:41.380 The usurping Jews are attempting, through various methods and means, 00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:45.380 to solidify and legitimize their presence in our land, Palestine, 00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:49.380 which they have occupied for over seventy years. 00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.420 They have come from the ends of the earth, 00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:56.420 possessing no national, historical, 00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.420 ethnic, cultural, 00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:01.420 linguistic, or civilizational bond to it. 00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:06.480 They represent more than a hundred nationalities and fifty languages. 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.480 This is a fact that may surprise many. 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:17.799 The Zionists found the strongest link to frame, establish, and justify their existence to the world 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.799 is the invention and fabrication of an alleged temple to which they claim to belong, 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.799 under the pretext that Muslims built the Al-Aqsa Mosque upon the ruins of their temple, 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.799 which they call Solomon’s Temple, 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.799 falsely and deceitfully. 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.930 David Ben-Gurion, the first Zionist Prime Minister, said: 00:01:37.930 --> 00:01:41.930 "There is no meaning or value to Israel without Jerusalem, 00:01:41.930 --> 00:01:45.930 and no value to Jerusalem without the Temple." 00:01:45.930 --> 00:01:51.120 The Jews are notorious for forgery, distortion, deception, and obfuscation, 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.120 to the point that a number of researchers and Orientalists have claimed 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.120 the myth of the alleged "Third Temple," 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.120 and they are striving to rebuild it based on several theories, 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:08.120 the most famous of which is placing it between the Dome of the Rock and the Qibli Prayer Hall. 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.219 To the Jews, the Temple is called the "House of the Lord." 00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:18.219 Their story with it begins in 1005 BCE, 00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:21.219 that is, from the date of Solomon’s entry and construction, 00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:26.219 whom they consider only a king, not a prophet. 00:02:26.219 --> 00:02:31.219 By doing so, they erase a thousand years of the history of Jerusalem, 00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:34.219 that ancient and venerable city. 00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:40.469 The Jews claim that the First Temple was destroyed during the second Babylonian captivity 00:02:40.469 --> 00:02:44.469 in 586 BCE, 00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:48.469 at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar. 00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:53.469 And the Second Temple was destroyed at the hands of the Roman butcher Titus 00:02:53.469 --> 00:02:55.469 in 70 CE. 00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:58.469 They also claim that the Buraq Wall 00:02:58.469 --> 00:03:01.469 is the remaining part of the Temple, 00:03:01.469 --> 00:03:05.469 yet there is no mention in the Torah or the Talmud 00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:08.469 of what they call the "Wailing Wall," 00:03:08.469 --> 00:03:13.469 nor did the Jews ever reach a consensus on the idea of sanctifying the Wailing Wall. 00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:17.819 The Jews are striving hard to build their alleged temple, 00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:22.819 and there are more than three hundred specialized institutions 00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:24.819 working toward this goal. 00:03:24.819 --> 00:03:27.819 They have a sign to signal its construction: 00:03:27.819 --> 00:03:30.819 the appearance of a red heifer, 00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:35.819 which is to be burned, and they are to be purified with its ashes after they are sprinkled upon them, 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:39.819 followed by entry into their holiest spot, the Rock, 00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:43.819 which they call the "Holy of Holies." 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:46.860 To refute these claims, we say: 00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:51.860 The sanctity and status of Al-Aqsa Mosque are ancient and well-known, 00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:55.860 since its first placement and establishment in the era of Adam, 00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:59.860 followed by the succession of prophets, saints, and leaders 00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:02.860 in building, restoring, and renovating it 00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:04.860 upon the ancient foundation, 00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:09.860 to remain an Islamic religious heritage to this day. 00:04:09.860 --> 00:04:14.860 The truth, which is beyond doubt and which the Qur'an has clarified, 00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:19.860 is that the Jews have no connection or bond with the prophets. 00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:21.949 Allah the Almighty said: 00:04:21.949 --> 00:04:29.019 “Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the idolaters.” (3:67) 00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:37.019 “Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the idolaters.” (3:67) 00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:41.019 "And he was not of the polytheists." 00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:46.430 “Lo! those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the believers.” (3:68) 00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:51.430 “Lo! those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the believers.” (3:68) 00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:55.430 “Lo! those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the believers.” (3:68) 00:04:55.430 --> 00:04:59.750 And Allah is the Protector of the believers. 00:04:59.750 --> 00:05:01.750 Among the important matters 00:05:01.750 --> 00:05:04.750 is that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a mosque, 00:05:04.750 --> 00:05:07.750 and it was never, at any point in time, 00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:12.750 a temple or a sanctuary where partners were associated with Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, 00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:14.750 except for limited periods 00:05:14.750 --> 00:05:19.750 when it was controlled by the pagan giants, the followers of Goliath. 00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:22.750 Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, named it a mosque. 00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:24.750 The Almighty said: 00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:31.750 “Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.” (17:1) 00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:36.750 And our Lord’s statement regarding Abraham, peace be upon him, 00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:42.750 “And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.” (21:71) 00:05:42.750 --> 00:05:47.750 indicates that this land was blessed before Abraham, peace be upon him. 00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:52.750 Also, our Lord’s statement on the tongue of Moses, peace be upon him: 00:05:52.750 --> 00:05:55.750 "O my people, enter the Holy Land," 00:05:55.750 --> 00:06:00.750 is an important indication of the sanctity and status of the land since ancient times, 00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:03.750 before Moses, peace be upon him, arrived there, 00:06:03.750 --> 00:06:07.750 as well as the prophets of the Children of Israel, peace be upon them. 00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:11.939 Al-Aqsa Mosque was only established for worshiping therein 00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:14.939 and for realizing the Oneness of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, 00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:19.939 and that is only possible if it remains a mosque for Allah, the Glorified. 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:25.939 “And the places of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah.” (72:18) 00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:29.040 The renovation by Solomon, peace be upon him, 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.040 was a renovation of the mosque, 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.040 and it has no relation to what is called the "Temple." 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.040 For he, peace be upon him, was a righteous prophet who worshiped therein. 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:47.040 Allah, the Glorified, mentioned the worship of David, Zechariah, Mary, and Jesus, peace be upon them. 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:53.069 It is ironic that this "holy" temple of the Jews 00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:58.069 was not transmitted through authentic revelation or clear, sound chains of narration, 00:06:58.069 --> 00:07:03.069 but rather exists in the books of the Children of Israel that are not attributed to any prophet, 00:07:03.069 --> 00:07:07.069 and were written years after the events they describe. 00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:10.069 Most of it is mere imagination. 00:07:10.069 --> 00:07:14.170 The strange thing is that Jewish researchers 00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:20.170 have not identified the location of the Temple in an indisputable manner to this day. 00:07:20.170 --> 00:07:26.199 They have several opinions and theories regarding its position and place of construction. 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.199 Some say it is under Al-Aqsa Mosque, 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.199 and that Al-Aqsa was built upon its ruins. 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.199 Others believe the Temple is above the Rock, 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.199 and that it is the foundation stone. 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.199 Others believe it is between the Qibli Prayer Hall 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.199 and the Dome of the Rock Mosque. 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:50.199 The Samaritans believe it is on Mount Gerizim near Nablus, 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:51.199 and so on. 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.199 It is astonishing that Jewish, European, and American archaeologists, 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:03.199 who have excavated and worked in the tunnels under Al-Aqsa Mosque, 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.199 have not found any trace of their alleged temple. 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.199 Some of them have stated that the story of the Temple is a myth. 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.329 The most prominent Jewish archaeologist, 00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:20.329 Israel Finkelstein from Tel Aviv University, 00:08:20.329 --> 00:08:25.329 who is called in the Zionist entity the "Father of Archaeology," 00:08:25.329 --> 00:08:28.329 says that Jewish archaeologists 00:08:28.329 --> 00:08:34.330 have not found historical or archaeological evidence indicating the existence of the Temple, 00:08:34.330 --> 00:08:38.330 or that the Temple ever actually existed. 00:08:38.330 --> 00:08:43.330 Israel Finkelstein questioned the very idea of the Temple's existence, 00:08:43.330 --> 00:08:48.330 considering it a mere myth that has no basis at all, 00:08:48.330 --> 00:08:54.330 and that the writers of the Torah in the third century added stories that never happened. 00:08:55.389 --> 00:09:00.389 Even more strange is that the Jews do not know the location of their holy sites 00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:03.389 and are not in agreement about it. 00:09:03.389 --> 00:09:08.389 And although they do not consider David and Solomon, peace be upon them, to be prophets, 00:09:08.389 --> 00:09:10.389 but rather kings, 00:09:10.389 --> 00:09:16.389 you do not see them sanctifying the land of the prophets and ancestors to whom they claim to belong, 00:09:16.389 --> 00:09:21.460 such as the city of Hebron, where Abraham, peace be upon him, is buried. 00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:26.460 The Jews have several strange beliefs related to the Temple. 00:09:26.460 --> 00:09:31.460 Among them is that a bride goes to the courtyards of Al-Aqsa— 00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:33.460 which they consider the Temple— 00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:38.460 to remember the Temple before entering upon her husband. 00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:41.460 Likewise, when a bride and groom stand, 00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:47.460 a glass cup is broken before them so they remember the Temple. 00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:53.460 Another is that the rabbis order that anyone who paints or renovates their house 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:57.580 must leave a square unpainted to remind them of the Temple. 00:09:57.580 --> 00:10:05.580 Another is that they have distributed models of the Temple everywhere in institutions and ministries, 00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:10.580 to the point that when a Jewish official receives a dignitary, 00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:16.580 he presents him with a miniature model of the Temple as a gift. 00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:18.580 Yes, the place of prayer. 00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:21.580 We are a sun that does not set. 00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:24.580 If the caller calls, we respond. 00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:28.580 We shall return the right, intact. 00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:31.580 We shall support beloved Al-Aqsa. 00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:34.580 In it, the best of creation prayed. 00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:37.580 It is indeed a blessed place of prayer. 00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:40.580 The landing place of the Trustworthy Revelation. 00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:44.580 The place of mission for the messengers. 00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:47.580 The qibla for the Muslims. 00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:50.580 The destination of the conquerors. 00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:53.580 In it, the best of creation prayed. 00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:56.580 It is indeed a blessed place of prayer. 00:10:56.580 --> 00:11:01.580 It is indeed a blessed place of prayer.
