Huzoor (rh): He would tell us. He is from Syria, from Damascus. He says that he has heard that in Syria and probably in Damascus, there are such mosques that face Baitul Maqdas instead of the Ka’bah. This is wrong. There are no mosques in that face Baitul Maqdas
Questioner: Sir, I have another question.
Huzoor (rh): In the time of Hazrat Umar, the first time there was a victory. In Palestine. In Palestine. But in the time of Waleed bin Abdul Malik, there was a conquest in Damascus. No, in the time of Umar bin Abdul Malik, Hazrat Abu Ubaidah had entered here. Khalid bin Waleed. Correct. I remember now.
On one side, there was Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed who had fought a little. And on the other side, there was Hazrat Abu Ubaidah who had not fought. And Aadah, who was Hazrat Sulaiman’s, what was his name? Haikal-e-Sulaimani. He had said to Aadah that we will not change this because it has come under the control of Sula. And we have control over Aadah. This was the incident. Yes, exactly. So, all the mosques that have been built have been built after this incident. Yes, please. And there is no presence of this mosque in the vicinity of the Holy House. Yes, there is no presence of this mosque in the vicinity of the Holy House.
In the Hadith, there is a sign that there is no mosque in the vicinity of the Holy House. In the time of the Holy Prophet, there was no mosque in the vicinity of the Holy House. So, it was a symbolic thing. There was a French man who said that there is a mosque in the vicinity of the Holy House. So, this mosque is a symbolic thing. So, the Mughals, without any doubt, built a mosque in the vicinity of the Holy House and said that look, there is a minaret there. And now that minaret is no longer there. Now it is not there. No, no, the church minaret is no longer there. It is not there either. So, where will you go now? Okay.
