Dear Farooque, Assalamu Alaikum,
Hope everything fine with you andn family and pray for it. Regarding the first Qibla of Islam - Al-Aqsa Masjid, 99% of Muslims have wrong notion. Even the Arab world also are not aware of this.
When I received the attached message from Dr. Marwan (see below) about his findings, I cross checked it with my friend living in Jordan. (Please see his comment too)
We all until recently are under the impression that Aqsa Masjid is the one with yellow Qubba - ie. Dome of The Rock Mosque. Please educate our friends about the truth.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours, hasan saqaf

Dear Mr Hasan,
The attached picture is 100% correct,and there is difference between Masjid Al Aqsa and the Dome Of The Rock.
I lived in Jerusalem for two years, I know both Masjid Al Aqsa and the Dome Of The Rock ,in side of the both we can pray,and the distance between them about 200 Meters only.
Regards
Rashad

Dear Mr. Abu Jarad,
Please see attached mail. Have you been inside this Masjid? Please give me some more guidance about this. As a matter of fact, we also were under the impression, that Masjid Al-Aqsa is the one with the Dome. I would appreciate your valuable comment on this.
sincerely, Hasan

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Here is the translation of a letter in Arabic sent by Dr.Marwan to the chief editor of 'Al-Dastour' daily and a photo of 'Al-Aqsa Masjid' and 'Dome of the Rock'. Be cautious and beware of Zionist plans about Al-Aqsa Masjid.
Don't let them succeed in their plans.
Quote: Dear Editor in chief Al-Dastour
Please publish the note below:
There is a noticeable confusion between 'Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa' and the Dome of he Rock'. Whenever there is a mention to Al-Aqsa Mosque in the local and international media, the picture of the Dome of the Rock appears instead.
The main reason of this is the public ignorance which is in line with the Israeli plans. This observation was consistent during my stay in the USA where I was informed that Zionists in America print and distribute such pictures and sell it to the Arabs and Muslims, some times at a very cheap price and some times for free so that Muslims can post it every where, in their homes and offices.
This confirmed to me the conclusion that Israel wants to vanish the picture of Al-Aqsa mosque from the minds of people, so they can destroy it and build their temple without any publicity. And if anyone condemn or complain, then Israel will show live the picture of the 'Dome' and reply that they didn't do anything.
What a plan! I was also shocked when I asked some Arabs, Muslims and even Palestinians and found out they can't differentiate between the two holy sites.
This really made me feel pity and sad that the Israelis succeeded until now in their plans!
