		The dimensions of the Haram were established artificially, since the platform was cut out of the rock at its northern end and elevated upward from the sharply sloping terrain on most of its western and eastern sides and entirely on its southern one.
		In Herodian times, the Haram featured a grandiose colonnaded hall overlooking the lower city and the handsome steps which led up from it to the sanctuary; these have now been cleared of debris and are again visible.
		Hence, the Haram was simultaneously endowed with unique religious associations of its own (such as pilgrimage and the Prophet’s Journey), interpreted as a routine urban congregational mosque (reflecting changes in Muslim piety) and simply the vehicle of long-established modes of behaviour (such as coming to Jerusalem as a pilgrim).

	The Spiritual Significance of the Prophet's Miraculous Night Journey and Ascension
		The literal meaning is, ‘He brought His servant from Masjid al-Haram to the mosque at the farthest end.’ Symbolically, Allah brought the Prophet away from that which is forbidden things of this earthly life, haram, to the place furthest away from it - al-Aqsa.
		In Masjid al- Haram the Black Stone is governed by physical constraints, held up in an encasement, having fallen from heaven and been darkened by the sins of humanity.
		At Masjid al-Aqsa the holy stone marking where the Prophet (s) ascended to the heavens is miraculously suspended in the air, disregarding the physical law of gravity, seeking to leave the earthly pull of gravity to soar towards the Divine Presence.

		The respect and honour of Masjid Al Nabawi remains the same as exemplified by the companions’ behaviour in the presence of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
		If the reward for doing good deeds in Masjid Al Haraam and Masjid Al Nabawi is the highest and the second highest compared to other places in the world then the punishment for doing bad deeds in Masjid Al Haraam and Masjid Al Nabawi will be the worst as well.

		Al-Quds (Jerusalem), the town where al-Aqsa masjid was built, has been half eaten by the Jews when they annexed its Western part after the 1948 war.
		Second, urban sprawl is allowed for the Jewish settlers all around the town to isolate it from the rest of the Palestinian land and hence its annexation would become easier.
		Other tunnels are being dug under the masjid, which means that now the Jews share the area with the Muslims.

		An excellent example of the usage of the word "masjid" referring to a non-Islamic sanctuary can be seen in the verse 17:7 that describes briefly the destruction of the mosque in Jerusalem (i.e., the Temple) by the enemies of Children of Israel.
		Nevertheless, the primary meaning of masjid is "place of prostration" and after the advent of Islam the word masjid does not necessarily designate a building but only a location.
		To say that the primary meaning of masjid is a place of prostration does not rule out that masjid can and does often mean a building in which the act of prostration takes place.
