This area in front of me where I'm going now That metro line was an actual border and on the building behind the line there are still some bullets holes from Jordan and Israelian war Old Jerusalem is very small only 1 Sq. Km and it is divided into 4 quarters Armenians are also Christians they have a separate quarter and churches Muslim Quarter is the biggest and then Jews quarter The old city has 8 gates 7 Gates are opened and every Quarter has a one or two gates The Gate in front of Jaffa St. is Jaffa Gate all gates are opened except Golden gate which according to Muslims belief Imam Mehdi will enter Jerusalem through this gate and it will stay closed until then Right next to Jaffa Gate is Armenian Quarter and after that is Jewish Quarter When you enter the old city through Jaffa Gate.
Pakistani Visiting Palestine
The name of the road changes to Omar Ibn Khitab These buildings are part of Armenian Quarter The wall around the old city was built by the ottomans not only the wall but all the main development of the city happened in that Period they also built a railway between Jaffa and Jerusalem and they stopped it before the old city to protect the Old city Now I'm in Jewish Quarter a lot of renovation work has been done here very beautiful small streets we will continue exploring it
This area in front This is not only the Holy place for Muslims but an equally holy place for Jews Muslims call it Haram Al-Sharif It was the first Kaaba of Muslims for 13 years and it is the place of the first and second Jewish Temple First Temple was built by Prophet Suleman which was destroyed by the Babylonians and 2nd Temple was built by Jewish King Herod the Great which was destroyed by the Romans and they also expelled Jews from the city Jews were allowed only once a year to visit the City then the Muslim History starts which I will explain later when I go inside the Al Aqsa compound But let me tell you a little about the place.
This is Western Wall Where Jews Pray This Dome is called Dome of Rock this is Al Aqsa Mosque a lot of people think Golden Dome is Al Aqsa Mosque and the Mountain behind Al Aqsa Mosque this mountain is called Mount Olive place of Jewish cemetery is there and the Minaret is actually Church From where Jesus travelled to Heaven so now let's go to the Muslim Quarter As a Muslim, I'm allowed to go inside Now I'm inside the Al Aqsa compound The police asked me a lot of questions especially because of my vlogging camera whether I'm making this for commercial purposes For a TV Channel etc.
They do ask a lot of questions and sometimes they can get very aggressive Yesterday they didn't let us enter even we told them that we are Muslims but we entered from a different gate I'm walking towards Dome of Rock I'm inside Dome of Rock Here the history starts after the arrival of Muslims as this isn't important place for Christians they used to throw garbage it when Omar ibn Khitab arrived in the city He allowed the Jews back into City and He consulted a Jewish Rabi to tell him the place of first Jewish Temple
The Rabi who later converted told him this is also the same place from where Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven on Nights Journey and according to Jewish believe also the same place where Prophet Ibrahim brought his son Isaac to sacrifice Jews and Muslims cleaned the place and Omar Ibn Khitab planned to build a Dome But it was built in the Umayyad Caliphate by by Abd al-Malik Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter here only outside during specific hours there is still the Rock which is the foundation This is the basement inside the Dome of Rock This is so holy that Jews can't enter even when they had control of this area only their Rabi would come here once a year on Jewish Holiest day 'Yom Kippur' only on that day and only Rabi not anyone else
