Jerusalem

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Jerusalem is a blessed and historic city, home to the sacred al-Aqsa Mosque and the golden Dome of the Rock.

Jerusalem is a sacred city of profound status in Islam, being the first Qibla toward which early Muslims prayed and the destination of the Prophet ﷺ's Night Journey. It houses the sacred al-Aqsa compound and the Dome of the Rock, and Caliph Umar entered it with a celebrated peace treaty guaranteeing religious freedom and safety for its inhabitants.
