## About
When did you and I become guardians of al-Aqsa? Why is everyone claiming Jerusalem? Is the glory of Palestine behind us? Masjid al-Aqsa and its surroundings has a place in the heart of every believer. But that love must be nurtured by our knowledge of its history and virtues, so that love sustains the struggle for justice. The Prophet ﷺ connected us to al-Aqsa in so many ways. The greatest Muslims throughout history stood as guardians for al-Aqsa and its blessed surrounding area, the land of Palestine. Join us for a special in-depth 10 part lecture series every Tuesday night on the past, present, and promise of the first qiblah of al-Aqsa.
