0:37
Moses, Jesus, and Abraham, peace be upon him.

General Meaning
1:07
The hadith indicates that the Prophet (peace be upon him)
1:11
saw himself in the presence of a gathering of the prophets,
1:14
among them Moses, Jesus, and Abraham, peace be upon him,
1:18
as they stood in prayer.
1:21
Then the appointed time for prayer arrived,
1:23
and he (peace be upon him) led them in prayer,
1:26
meaning he acted as their imam.
1:28
Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
1:31
"Al-Masjid al-Aqsa, which is Bayt al-Maqdis—
1:34
also known as Aelia—
1:36
has been the abode of the prophets since the time of Abraham the intimate friend of Allah.
1:40
For this reason, they were all gathered there for him,
1:43
and he led them in prayer in their very sanctuary and homeland.
1:46
This clearly demonstrated that he is the supreme leader
1:50
and the foremost chief,
1:52
may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him and upon all of them."

Reflections on Jerusalem
2:02
The greatest gathering in history:
2:05
the assembly of the prophets
2:06
on the Night of the Isra' at al-Masjid al-Aqsa,
2:09
under the leadership of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
2:13
Through this leadership in prayer,
2:15
the Prophet (peace be upon him) formally received
2:18
the legitimate spiritual legacy of al-Masjid al-Aqsa
2:21
by divine commission on the Night of the Mi'raj.
2:25
Al-Masjid al-Aqsa is the inheritance of this Ummah,
2:29
a sacred trust bequeathed by the Prophet (peace be upon him)
2:32
into our hands,
2:33
and a covenant of Islam bound to our necks.
