masjid al aqsa: a history of the blessed land

The Palestinian struggle has persisted for the past 75 years, with recent events culminating in the tragic events affecting the people of Gaza in October 2023 and currently ongoing.

The Israeli Settler Colonial State has markedly intensified its aggression against the Palestinian population. It is crucial for us to gain a deeper understanding of this situation, given its profound impact on a significant Muslim population and the sacred land associated with it.

This unit, titled "Masjid al Aqsa: A History of the Blessed Land," aims to:

• Explore the significance of the region known as ash-Sham.

• Examine the lives of 15 prophets who lived, traveled, and dedicated part of their mission to this land.

• Provide a historical overview of Masjid al Aqsa, spanning from the time of Prophet Sulayman to the Islamic period, Crusades, Ottoman rule, and the modern era.

• Offer a concise history of the Israeli Settler Colonial State and Palestine.

• Consider the way forward.

InshaAllah, we aspire that this unit empowers you to educate your children about the history surrounding the Palestinian struggle and underscores the importance of these sacred lands.
