What's Al Aqsa Mosque?
It is very important to understand some of the things about the importance of the Al Aqsa mosque. Muslims believe that the mosque is from the time of Prophet Adam and the second mosque on the earth ( Ru-e-Zameen).
In the Islamic date, Masjid Al-Aqsa is called Qibla-e-Awal (first qibla) i.e. in the time of Nabi-e-Kareem PBUH (Sallallahu Ta'ala Alaihi Wasallam,) as long as had a session of Mushrikeen (non-Muslims) on Mecca, Muslims used to pray Namaz towards Al-Aqsa.
Prophet Mohammed PBUH has prayed for 17 months by turning to Masjid al-Aqsa.
Where Is It Situated?
The mosque is in Alaqsa Jerusalem (East Jerusalem). After the second world war, when the Mosque was occupied by the Sahayunis (Jews) of Israel, still the mosque is considered a part of Palestine.
Why Are There Disputes Between Jews and Muslims?
The Jews believe that Masjid al-Aqsa is the place where they have to build the temple of Hazrat Suleiman Alaihsalam( a prophet). Therefore, the Jews want to occupy the mosque, Al Aqsa. Because the Jews believe that the day they build the temple of Hazrat Solomon Alaihissalam, he will get the Talisman books with the help of which he will call his messiah Dajjal ( Muslim also believe that before the day of judgement there will be a one-eyed man who'll destroy Islam) quickly and he will destroy Islam from the world.
Jews also come to the mosque to worship with the security of the Israeli police.
Why Israel Isn't Able to Occupy the Mosque?
Palestinians are always ready to sacrifice their lives to Al-Aqsa. However, many times the Israeli army and the police have tried to seize the Masjid al-Aqsa by adopting many tricks. Under which, he has been repeatedly banning entry into the mosque of Palestinians above 50 years of age and digging trenches in the mosque around the mosque to weaken the foundation of the mosque and show it as an accident.
The Palestinians rebelled and surrounded the mosque for several days. Seeing the wrath of the Palestinians and the deteriorating image in the world, Israel allowed Palestinians of all ages to enter the mosque (when East Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians) and removed the gate but dangerous laser cameras in the name of security Have been installed.
Hasan Khatir head of the Al Quds International Center says Israeli police have stolen documents related to the mosque Al Aqsa that were kept in the office of the compound of the Alquds Islamic Waqf, which is overseeing the mosque. These documents prove that the mosque al-Aqsa has the right of the Palestinians.

Importance of Al Aqsa in Islam
Masjid Al-Aqsa is important in Islam because Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad was taken from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to Al-Aqsa during the Night Journey.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH travelled to Jannah from there.
It is also believed that the Prophet Muhammad led prayers towards this site until Allah directed him to turn towards the Kaaba.
It's the place where the prophet Mohammed PBUH led the prayer of all prophets.
It was the second place of worship build in Islam, 40 years after the Kaaba, and is mentioned in the Qur’an as being ‘holy’ and ‘blessed’ in numerous extracts.
