Bait-al-Maqdis: First Qiblah

AT THE HEART OF JERUSALEM is the Noble Sanctuary or Al-Haram al-Sharif, enclosing over 35 acres of fountains, gardens, buildings and domes. At its southernmost end is Al-Aqsa Mosque and at its center the celebrated Dome of the Rock. The entire area is regarded as Baitul-Maqdis or Al-Qudus and comprises nearly one sixth of the walled city of Jerusalem.

It is clear that Masjid al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock (Qubbat as-Sakhrâ) are two separate buildings, and not synonymous with each other as believed by some Muslims. However, both these buildings are within the enclosure of Haraam as-Shareef (The Noble Sanctuary) referred to in Qur'an as "the Furthest Mosque" in Surah al-Israa'(Chapter 17), verse 1.

Below on left is The Dome of the Rock (also known as Masjid as-Sakhra) and on right is Masjid-al-Aqsa. Click on these to see full size view.
