1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,400 We are a sun that never sets. 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,400 Whenever a caller calls, we answer. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,800 We restore the truth, whole and sound. 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,000 We support the beloved Al-Aqsa. 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,399 Within it is the best of creation, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 7 00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:24,199 It is indeed a blessed place of prayer. 8 00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:31,339 A blessed place of prayer. 9 00:00:31,539 --> 00:00:38,320 What are the landmarks and boundaries of Al-Aqsa Mosque? 10 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,320 This is one of the important questions that must be answered. 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,920 In a comprehensive and detailed manner. 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,320 Because of the confusion it causes for many Muslims. 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,920 Whether intentionally or unintentionally. 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,229 And due to the misleading and directed media machine. 15 00:00:57,229 --> 00:00:59,630 The blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. 16 00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:03,619 Is an ancient mosque with a glorious history. 17 00:01:03,619 --> 00:01:06,819 It is one of the largest mosques in the world. 18 00:01:06,819 --> 00:01:12,859 It holds a special sanctity and a great status among Muslims. 19 00:01:12,859 --> 00:01:17,689 It is distinguished and unique for landmarks not found elsewhere. 20 00:01:17,689 --> 00:01:23,890 It derives its exclusivity from that good, blessed, and sacred land. 21 00:01:23,890 --> 00:01:26,310 The land of the prophets. 22 00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:29,310 Many Muslims think—and are mistaken— 23 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:34,909 Whether due to negligence, media misinformation, or policies of ignorance, 24 00:01:34,909 --> 00:01:38,310 That that beautiful golden dome, 25 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:41,310 With its magnificent architectural structure, 26 00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:43,510 Is Al-Aqsa Mosque. 27 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:47,510 Or the Qibli prayer hall with the leaden dome, 28 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:50,310 Where the worshippers pray, 29 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:52,909 Which is known as the Mosque of Umar. 30 00:01:52,909 --> 00:01:56,980 Others think that is Al-Aqsa Mosque. 31 00:01:56,980 --> 00:02:01,010 But the truth, in which there is no doubt or uncertainty, 32 00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:05,010 And upon which scholars and historians have agreed, 33 00:02:05,010 --> 00:02:10,009 Is that Al-Aqsa Mosque encompasses everything enclosed by the wall. 34 00:02:10,009 --> 00:02:12,009 It contains many landmarks. 35 00:02:12,009 --> 00:02:16,009 Including the wall, the gates, and the vast courtyards. 36 00:02:16,009 --> 00:02:18,009 The congregational prayer hall. 37 00:02:18,009 --> 00:02:20,009 The Dome of the Rock. 38 00:02:20,009 --> 00:02:22,009 The Marwani prayer hall. 39 00:02:22,009 --> 00:02:25,009 The porticoes, domes, and stone platforms (mastabas). 40 00:02:25,009 --> 00:02:28,009 The water fountains, schools, 41 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:32,009 Minarets, wells, libraries, and others. 42 00:02:32,009 --> 00:02:34,620 Al-Aqsa Mosque 43 00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:38,620 Is located in the eastern part of the city of Jerusalem. 44 00:02:38,620 --> 00:02:40,620 And it is entirely unroofed, 45 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:43,620 Except for the structure of the Dome of the Rock, 46 00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:45,620 The congregational prayer hall, 47 00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:47,620 Meaning the Qibli Mosque, 48 00:02:47,620 --> 00:02:49,620 The Old Mosque, 49 00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:51,620 The Marwani prayer hall, 50 00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:53,620 The Buraq Mosque, 51 00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:55,620 The Maghariba Mosque, 52 00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:57,620 The Women’s Mosque, 53 00:02:57,620 --> 00:02:59,620 And the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall. 54 00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:03,620 Therefore, the reward for prayer is multiplied within it, 55 00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:07,620 In any part of what is enclosed by the wall. 56 00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:11,189 The blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque 57 00:03:11,189 --> 00:03:16,189 Is that blessed spot surrounded by the mosque's wall, 58 00:03:16,189 --> 00:03:18,189 Ever since its foundations were laid, 59 00:03:18,189 --> 00:03:20,189 And established in the era of Adam, 60 00:03:20,189 --> 00:03:22,189 Until this day of ours, 61 00:03:22,189 --> 00:03:26,189 With the succession of construction, development, and restoration within it, 62 00:03:26,189 --> 00:03:29,189 Throughout various times and eras. 63 00:03:29,189 --> 00:03:32,259 Whatever is above it and whatever is below it is considered part of it. 64 00:03:32,259 --> 00:03:34,259 We do not single out one spot within it, 65 00:03:34,259 --> 00:03:38,259 And say that it alone is Al-Aqsa Mosque. 66 00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:41,259 This is what the Jews strive for, 67 00:03:41,259 --> 00:03:43,259 And those who follow their path, 68 00:03:43,259 --> 00:03:46,259 Whether intentionally or unintentionally. 69 00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:49,960 The total area of Al-Aqsa Mosque, 70 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Within the enclosure of the wall, 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Amounts to 144 dunams, 72 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Which is equivalent to 73 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,960 144,000 square meters. 74 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,150 The area of the Dome of the Rock 75 00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:07,150 Is equivalent to 1,000 square meters. 76 00:04:07,150 --> 00:04:10,150 And the Qibli prayer hall 77 00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:14,150 Is approximately 4,500 square meters. 78 00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:19,310 Thus, if the focus is placed only on specific parts of it, 79 00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:23,310 And they are considered to be the only Al-Aqsa Mosque, 80 00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:27,310 Then large parts of it, over time, 81 00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:29,310 Will be seized by the Jews, 82 00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,310 To be a temple for them, 83 00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:34,310 On the grounds that they are not part of the mosque. 84 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:37,310 And herein lies the danger. 85 00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:40,920 Just as the walls of Al-Aqsa Mosque 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Are an inseparable part of it. 87 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,920 Their dimensions are as follows: 88 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,980 The southern wall, 89 00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:49,980 Which is in the direction of the Qibla, 90 00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:52,980 Is 181 meters. 91 00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:55,209 The western wall, 92 00:04:55,209 --> 00:04:57,209 Which contains the Buraq Wall, 93 00:04:57,209 --> 00:05:01,209 Is 491 meters. 94 00:05:01,209 --> 00:05:03,339 The northern wall, 95 00:05:03,339 --> 00:05:06,339 Is 310 meters. 96 00:05:06,339 --> 00:05:08,430 The eastern wall, 97 00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:12,430 Is 462 meters. 98 00:05:12,430 --> 00:05:14,529 The Qibli prayer hall 99 00:05:14,529 --> 00:05:16,529 Is the roofed congregational mosque, 100 00:05:16,529 --> 00:05:18,529 With the leaden dome, 101 00:05:18,529 --> 00:05:20,529 In the southern part 102 00:05:20,529 --> 00:05:22,529 Of Al-Aqsa Mosque, facing the Qibla. 103 00:05:22,529 --> 00:05:26,529 Hence the name "Qibli." 104 00:05:26,529 --> 00:05:28,529 It is called the "Jami'" (congregational mosque) 105 00:05:28,529 --> 00:05:30,529 Because it is the main place 106 00:05:30,529 --> 00:05:33,529 For the khatib and the Imam during prayers. 107 00:05:33,529 --> 00:05:36,879 Historians and chroniclers agree 108 00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:39,879 That Umar Ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, 109 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:41,879 When he conquered Jerusalem 110 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:44,879 In the fifteenth year of the Hijra, 111 00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:47,879 Built a modest, small mosque, 112 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,879 Adjacent to the southern wall of

known in the past 148 00:07:21,379 --> 00:07:23,379 As the Eastern Substructure. 149 00:07:23,379 --> 00:07:25,379 The Umayyads built it 150 00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:27,379 As an architectural leveling 151 00:07:27,379 --> 00:07:30,379 For the original plateau of Jerusalem, 152 00:07:30,379 --> 00:07:33,379 Which slopes toward the south. 153 00:07:33,379 --> 00:07:36,379 Its eastern and southern

consists 157 00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:47,740 Of 16 aisles, 158 00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:49,740 And its area reaches 159 00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:52,740 Approximately 4,000 square meters. 160 00:07:52,740

--> 00:08:41,889 Any right to the wall 176 00:08:41,889 --> 00:08:44,889 Until they were able to establish 177 00:08:44,889 --> 00:08:46,889 An entity for themselves in Jerusalem. 178 00:08:46,889 --> 00:08:49,889 When they used to visit Jerusalem, 179 00:08:49,889 --> 00:08:52,889 They would worship at the eastern wall, 180 00:08:52,889 --> 00:08:56,559 Then they shifted to the western wall. 181 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,559 The Dome of the Chain 182 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,720 Is the oldest landmark built inside the blessed 183 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,720 Al-Aqsa Mosque during the

small building, 187 00:09:13,779 --> 00:09:15,779 Beautiful in shape and decoration. 188 00:09:15,779 --> 00:09:17,779 Its walls are open. 189 00:09:17,779 --> 00:09:20,779 It has eleven sides and a mihrab. 190 00:09:20,779 --> 00:09:23,779 These sides rest 191 00:09:23,779 --> 00:09:26,779 On eleven marble columns. 192 00:09:26,779 --> 00:09:29,779 In its center are other columns 193

00:09:43,419 The Zionist occupation municipality issued a decision 197 00:09:43,419 --> 00:09:46,419 To convert the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque 198 00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:49,419 Into gardens and public squares, 199 00:09:49,419 --> 00:09:52,419 To terminate its status as an extension of the mosque, 200 00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:54,419 and to open the way for the Jews 201 00:09:54,419 --> 00:09:57,419 to enter it at any time, 202 00:09:57,419 --> 00:09:59,419 which highlights the danger of reducing 203 00:09:59,419 --> 00:10:02,419 Al-Aqsa Mosque to only specific areas, 204
