The Significance of Islamicjerusalem in Islam

Why do Muslims have a close relation with
Islamicjerusalem? What makes the land so central for
Muslims? What is the future for Islamicjerusalem within the
religiosity understanding and practice? This book is an
exploration on how to provide an answer for a few questions
related to the region. As such, it will not be focusing on
political issues between Palestine and Israel.
For the three main monotheistic religions, the region is
considered ‘a city of three faiths’. This means that although
some scholars attempt to deny its importance in Islam by
stating that the word Jerusalem is never mentioned in the
Quran, it failed to convince the basis of the denial. This
book in particular, will prove that the claim is merely based
on failure to understand the names or terminologies in the
Quran that refer to the region.
This book focuses on the significance of
Islamicjerusalem in Islam, based on the two core sources,
the Quran and the Hadith. It is an attempt to investigate
evidence from these sources as well as from historical
aspects which have signified so many stories and events
related to the region. This should help form a conceptual
framework of how Muslims deal with Islamicjerusalem, be
it in the past, present and the future.
