The Many Virtues of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) | Episode 1 | Al-Aqsa Series

It was the night everything changed. Learn the full story of the miraculous and transformative Isra wa'l Mi‘raj (Night Journey and Ascension) of the Prophet ﷺ, and the events in Palestine's history that are closely connected to it.

The city of Damascus in Syria, and the Umayyad Mosque within it, are immensely significant in the history — and future — of the ummah. This is the city where Yahya (as) was buried, the Prophet ﷺ traded, Bilal (ra) and Abu Darda (ra) settled, in which Salah al-Din Ayyubi (rh) was raised, and where Isa (as) will return and pray. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains these and many other reasons why this is a place revered by the believers.

There is no place with a history like Palestine. The stories of countless Prophets, peoples, tyrants, and empires have unfolded here. But what are the qualities that make a people truly worthy of the Promised Land?

Masjid al-Qiblatayn in Madinah marks the site where the qiblah of the Muslims changed from Masjid al-Aqsa to Masjid al-Haram. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains when, why, and how this occurred, and what it meant for the Muslims who passed away before the qiblah changed.

What is al-Sham? Almost no other region has as many virtues mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ about it as this region, which comprises Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan. It is a land of Prophets, miracles, the defeat of oppressors, and the gathering on the Day of Judgment. It is the heartland of the believers, the barometer of this ummah, covered by the angels’ wings, illuminated by the Prophet ﷺ’s light. What does all of this mean for our relationship with al-Sham?

Masjid al-Aqsa: the first qiblah of this ummah, the second masjid ever built in this world. Why have the hearts of believers always yearned for it? What profound secrets and virtues does it hold? This lecture uncovers these hidden gems, inviting you to explore the unique significance of al-Aqsa.
