Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not set out on a (religious) journey except for three Mosques : Al-Masjid-AI-Haram, the Masjid of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and the Masjid Al-Aqsa." Sahih al Bukhari


Narrated Abu Dharr : I said : "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Which mosque was first built on the surface of the earth?" He said, "Al- Masjid-ul-Haram."
" I said, "Which was built next?"
He replied "The masjid of Al-Aqsa ( in Jerusalem) ."
I said, "What was the period of construction between the two?"
He said, "Forty years."
He added, "Wherever (you may be) the prayer time becomes due, perform the prayer there, for the best thing is to do so (to offer the prayers in time). Sahih al Bukhari

Narrated Al-Bara : We prayed along with the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Jerusalem (masjid Al Aqsa) for sixteen or seventeen months. Then Allah ordered him to turn his face towards the Qibla :--
"And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers) turn your face in the direction of Masjid-ul Haram.." (Al Baqarah 149) Sahih al Bukhari


Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "One prayer in my Masjid is better than one thousand prayers in any other masjid, except Al-Masjid-AI-Haram." Sahih al Bukhari

Inna lillahi wa inna 'ilayhi raji'un Saeb Erekat, the secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, has died at 65 after he became infected with COVID-19.
Erekat was a key Palestinian negotiator involved in peace talks for over three decades and stood in staunch opposition to the Trump administration's Middle East plan, which he called the "fraud of the century,"
and condemned recent agreements normalizing relations between Israel and Gulf nations.
"One must really reflect and admire the tireless commitment he had to communicating the Palestinian cause as best he saw fit …
and the important voice that he brought to the conversation at a time when many people around the world had not really heard from Palestinians, particularly Palestinians living in Palestine, on the ground," says Palestinian American analyst Yousef Munayyer.

The Palestinian diaspora of some 100,000 who live in El Salvador has found itself torn between the contradictions of a pro-Israeli president of Palestinian origin and their wish
tto express solidarity with their homeland in its struggle against Israeli occupation.
The 39-year-old populist president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, hails from a Palestinian family.
His grandparents were Palestinian Christians who emigrated to El Salvador from Bethlehem and Jerusalem in the early 20th century.
His father Armando Bukele Kattan converted to Islam and became a prominent imam in San Salvador and vocal defender of the Palestinian cause.
upon his election as president in 2019, Bukele was referred to as “a friend of Israel” by the Israeli press.
He was also described as a “partner for cooperation” by the Israeli ambassador to El Salvador in 2015.
Shortly after taking office, Bukele struck a multi-million dollar medical deal with the Israeli nonprofit Jerusalem Foundation which saw El Salvador receive $3m for its military and police forces.
