Description:
Referred to as al-Baitul Maqaddas (the Holy House) or Baitul Maqdis (the House of the Sanctuary) in the Qur'an.
Contains the third holiest site in Islam - Al-Aqsa.
Taken by Khalifah Umar after reinforcing the Muslim army with 4000 horses. A treaty of capitulation was signed with the Patriarch (Sophronius) which ended the siege.
At that time, there were 12,000 Greeks and 50,000 natives in the city. The Greeks were ordered to leave in 3 days and the natives made to pay tributes of 5 dinars per rich person, 4 dinars for middle class and 3 dinars for the lower classes. The aged and children were exempted.
Umar's first object upon entering the city was to find the Sacred Rock (as-Sakhrah), the site to which Muhammad (pbuh) was carried on the night of Miraj.
He was directed to the Church of the Resurrection bythe Patriarch, who said "this is the Mosque of David". But Umar refused to accept it, as he said, "the Apostle of Allah (Muhammad) described the place to me, and it was not like this." The went to every church in the city until they came to a gate (now called Babul Muhammad i.e. Gate of Muhammad), and creeping on his knees to the central sewer and standing up, Umar declared "by Him in whose Hand is my life, this is the place which the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) described to us." He then ordered a mosque (Masjidul Aqsa) to be built there.
The city fell to the Franks in AH 491, amidst massive killing of Muslims. In a space of 7 days, 70,000 Muslims were killed in Al-Aqsa alone.
Salaahud-din (Saladin) re-captured the city later on.
