Why Palestine is important to Muslims based on the Quran & Sunnah<\/h1>\nPalestine is a nation that is embedded in Islamic history and significance. Here are seven reasons why Palestine is important to Muslims according to the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa.\n

1. It was the home of many Prophets<\/h2>\nPalestime was the home to the Prophets Ibraham, Isaac, Yaqub, Dawud, Sulayman, Zachariah, Yahya and Isa. They all lived in Palestine amongst many other Prophets.\n\nThe miraculous birth of Jesus also took place in Palestine, along with his mother Mary.\n\nIt is also said that Ibrahim and Isaac are buried in Hebron, Palestine.\n

2. Allah named it the \u201cHoly land\u201d<\/h2>\nAllah refers to Palestine as the \u201cHoly Land\u201d, in reference to its purity and sanctity in Islam.\n

3. He also named it the \u201cBlessed land\u201d<\/h2>\nAllah also refers to Palestine as the \u201cBlessed Land\u201d on many occasions.\n\nIbn Saadi in his Tafsir states that the area surrounding Bayt-Al Maqdis was blessed with immense trees, rivers, and fertile soil. It was also blessed due to the virtues of Masjid Al-Aqsa over all other Masjids (excluding the Holy Mosques of Makkah and Madinah). It was a Madjid which was commanded to be visited and prayed within. Allah also specified the land for many of his Prophets and chosen people.\n

4. It is home to the third Holiest site<\/h2>\nPalestine is home to the third holiest Masjid in Islam, Masjid Al-Aqsa<\/strong>.\n\nThis Masjid was the first Qibla (direction of prayer) for the Muslims and the Prophet explicitly encouraged Muslims to visit it.\n\nThe Prophet \ufdfa said:\n
\u201cDo not take journey except to three Masjids, the Sacred Mosque (Makkah), my Mosque (Madinah) and Masjid Al-Aqsa\u201d.\n(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)<\/blockquote>\n

5. It was the site of the miraculous night journey<\/h2>\nThe miraculous night journey of the Prophet \ufdfa took place in Palestine. Whereby he \ufdfa travelled from Makkah to Masjid Al Aqsa and on to Heaven in a single night.\n\nThe Prophet \ufdfa\u00a0 said:\n
\u201cI mounted upon the Buraq (Beast), and did not dismount until I reached Bayt Al-Maqdis. There I tied it to a ring used by the Prophets and then prayed two units of prayers. I was then lifted into the Heavens.\u201d\n(Sahih Muslim)<\/blockquote>\n

6. It is the land of many notable victories<\/h2>\nIt is the land in which Talut and Dawud defeated Jalut and his army.\n\nIt is also the land in which Isa will defeat Messih Al-Dajjal, the Anti-Christ as mentioned in the Hadith:\n
\u201cThe son of Maryam will kill the Dajjaal at the gates of Ludd.\u201d\n(Sahih Muslim)<\/blockquote>\nLudd (Lod) is a place near Bayt al-Maqdis.\n

7. It is part of Al-Shaam<\/h2>\nPalestine is part of the greater Shaam region, which was praised by the Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa.\n\nZaid Ibn Thabit narrates that the Prophet \ufdfa said:\n
\u201cTuba for Al-Shaam, Tuba for Al-Shaam\u201d, the companions repleid \u201cAnd what for Oh Messenger?\u201d. He \ufdfa said \u201cThe Angels have spread their wings over Al-Shaam\u201d.\n(At-Tirmidhi)<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
