Al-Aqsa Mosque: The Gateway to Forgiveness
0:14
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
0:23
"When Solomon, the son of David (peace be upon him),
0:27
built the Holy House (Bayt al-Maqdis),
0:30
he asked Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, for three things,
0:33
among which was:
0:35
that no one should come to it driven by nothing other than praying in it,
0:40
except that he emerges from his sins just as the day his mother gave birth to him."
0:44
[Narrated by al-Nasa'i and authenticated by al-Albani]

"Built the Holy House":

0:59
and undertook its renewal and development.

"Three things (khilal)":

Khilal means qualities,
1:06
requests, traits,
1:08
or immense needs.
1:11
"Driven by nothing other than praying in it":
1:14
Meaning, nothing prompted him to come to it except the intention of praying therein.
1:18
"Except that he emerges from his sins just as the day his mother gave birth to him":
1:23
Meaning, all his sins are forgiven,
1:25
and he is cleansed of them entirely, without a trace of sin remaining.
1:31
Overall Meaning
1:34
Solomon (peace be upon him)
1:36
ruled the greatest kingdom in history from Bayt al-Maqdis,
1:40
and his life was filled with monumental achievements,
1:44
among which was building, raising, and renewing the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque.
1:49
When he completed the construction,
1:52
he asked Allah to forgive the sins of whoever prays in al-Aqsa Mosque,
1:56
sincerely seeking His Noble Face.
2:01
Jerusalem Reflections
2:04
The architectural and devotional care for al-Aqsa Mosque
2:09
is an established Sunnah throughout the lives of the Messengers, their followers,
2:13
and the righteous rulers.
2:16
The attachment and yearning for Bayt al-Maqdis
2:20
remains firmly rooted in the hearts of the Ummah,
2:22
for the divine promise of forgiveness for whoever journeys to it endures.
2:28
In this lies a clear refutation of Jewish claims regarding the building of the Temple,
2:33
for Solomon (peace be upon him) built a mosque dedicated to the worship of Allah,
2:37
not a temple for their corrupted aims.
