Know The Difference: Al-Aqsa
Fight the lies
(This article is not as direct as I would have liked for reasons I cannot fully express here.)
It is no secret that certain individuals wish to see the destruction and takeover of Palestine and Al-Aqsa. There is no denying it when there is video footage capturing elation when it was believed the mosque was burning.
The Al-Aqsa Compound is especially important to many people, not just Muslims. It is also believed to be the last location where The Ark of The Covenant was seen, leading people to believe it is still there.
What if there were a group of people who wished to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Qibli) so they could build a temple there? But no one realised because of misinformation. Because when some think of Al-Aqsa, they think of The Dome of The Rock. Even when you type Al-Aqsa Mosque into a search engine, The Dome of The Rock appears.
So, if Al-Aqsa Mosque- in this imaginary scenario- was to be destroyed, some would not realise or be easily fooled, for when the group responsible for this crime were addressed, they could simply show us The Dome of The Rock and deny they destroyed it, for it is still standing. And people would believe them because it would be true in their eyes.
That, of course, would be a heinous crime and grievous thing to commit and we would not wish to be fooled by them.
That is why, you must know the difference, just in case this ever happens, however unlikely it may seem.
This is Al-Aqsa Mosque (Qibli):
And this is The Dome of The Rock:
Both of these are a part of the Al-Aqsa Compound or Masjid Al-Aqsa.
May the injustices of the world cease and the truth forever prosper. Ameen

-’And their prophet said to them, “Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.’
~ The Qur’an 2:248
