Masjid Al-Aqsa
l-Masjid Al-Aqsa is often confused with Masjid Al-Qubba (As-Sakhra) but they are two totally different Masjids. Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa is the one that Allah (SWT) refers to in the first verses of Surat Al-Israa (Sura 17):
Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa is the second Masjid ever to be built for the sole worship of Allah (SWT). Throughout the ages it suffered many transformations and destruction. When Omar Ibn Al- Khattab (RA) entered Bayt Al-Maqdis in 15 AH (636 AD) he ordered that the area, where he believed the Masjid location has been, to be cleared to start the building of the initial structure of the Masjid. The actual building started in 18 AH (639 AD) and the Masjid was made out of timber. Abd Al-Malik Ibn Marwan (RahA) began the construction of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in its new shape and structure but it was his son Al-Walid (RahA) who completed it in 90 AH (708 AD). The present structure has remained essentially intact since it was last reconstructed in 424 AH (1033 AD) by Al-Khalifa Ath-Thaahir who did not alter it from its previous architecture; he only narrowed it on each of its east and west sides.

SOAR CAVE (JABAL-E-SOAR)...
There is no Muslim who does not know the importance of this cave, where our beloved Prophet Muhammad(S. A. W.) and his companion Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) stayed for few days to hide themselves from the bad intentions of their enemies who were following them to harm.
This mountain is in the southern direction of Makkah and it's height is about 761 meters above sea level.

If you come out from "Haram"through "Bab-e-Abdul Aziz" and walk straight for few yards you will find yourself in a road which is slightly in slope and a multi-storied, modernly built building will be at your right hand. It is called "Muhalla Misfala"- (Misfala means Slope). It is very populated area and both the sides of road have different types of shops and restaurants. When you walk few yards ahead, you find a mosque on your right hand. It is the house of"Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA)". Although, it is stone throwing distance from "Haram" yet five times regular "Salat" are offered here.
It is the place (house)where from beloved Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) started the journey of migration (Hijart) towards "Madina-e-Munawwara". In the night big and well powered people of "Makkah" were standing with their sharp swords, covering this house with bad intentions. The Prophet (S. A.W.) ordered "Syedna Ali (RA)"to lay over his bed and started to recite the verses of holy Surah of "Yaseen".Prophet (S. A. W.) came out with his companion syedna Siddiq(RA) and passed through enemies reciting verses of "Holy Surah Yaseen"and pouring mud over their heads. It was the help of Allah who made enemies unconscious or half sleepy.
It is said that two stones are kept in this mosque named "Mutakalim" and "Mutkka". "Mutakalim" is the stone which said Salaam to Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) whereas stone"Mukka" was used by Prophet MUHAMMAD (S. A. W.) as pillow.
Historical places
The Battle of Badar
The first battle between the believers of truth (Islam) and the forces of evil was fought on the battle field of Badar, 60 miles from Madinah towards Makkah. On one side stood a small group of 313 men of whom merely 60 of them wore armour, while facing them was arranged an army of one thousand warriors well armed and equipped. The believers had the strength of their Faith in Allah and His Prophet. They knew that Truth must prevail and falsehood must be destroyed. Thus it was this very Faith which brought about the Miracle and Truth did triumph
Ghar -E- Hira
(Cave of Hira)
This Cave, the sanctum of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the place of His devotions and meditations and the sacred spot where the Holy Quran began to be revealed. The Cave is situated on mount Al-Noor on way to Mina near Makkah and its peak is visible from a great distance. Muhammad (peace be upon him) had jus stepped into the forty-first year of his life, when during a night in the month of Ramadan the first 5 verses of the Surah Al-Alaque were Revealed to him.
Qiblahtain Mosque
Qiblahtain Mosque
This Mosque is situated in Madinah. In the beginning the Muslims offered their prayers facing in the direction of "Baitul-Maqdis" (Jerusalem). Once during the second year of Hijrah the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was leading the prayers on this mosque, at Banu Salma, when Allah's command came to turn from then on towards The KAABA. So the Mosque came to be called as Masjid-e-Qiblahtain, or the Mosque of two Qiblahs.
Battle of Ohud
Ohud is a hill near Madinah. The famous battle of Ohud was fought in the valley of this hill. The non-believers from Quresh, invaded Madinah with an army of three thousand, in the third year of Hijra.
Jist of The Farewell (Hajj) Sermon
people! Allah says, O men, who were created from a man and woman, divided into castes and tribes to identify each other; you are equal, but he is more respectable who fears Allah. All Muslims are brothers together. Be careful of the rights of your slaves. Men and women have their duties and rights to eachother. Offer prayers to Allah five times a day, fast the full month of Ramadan, pay zakat every year, perform Hajj and obey your rulers. Thus enter the Heavan created by Allah
Abu Sufyan had succeeded in forming a military alliance composed of the Jews and various tribes of the Arabs. The news of this great army was brought to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). He called a meeting of His Companions. On the suggestion of Hazrat Salman Farsi, a trench of a depth of five cubits and width of more than ten cubits was dug, all around. The ten thousand strong army of Quresh tried to cross it for 25 days but in-vain. At last, the army began to defect and Abu Sufyan was forced to lead it back to Makkah in utter depression
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was born on the early morning of Monday the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal (April 3rd, 571 AD) in Makkah. He was named Muhammad (the Praised one, peace be upon him) by his grand-father Abdul Muttalib. The ravages of time have destroyed the original building but the place is the same where stood Abdullah's house the father of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), who belonged to the family of Hashim the noblest tribe of the clan of Quresh
