☆☆☆☆☆From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_in_Islam):
(It is where Muhammad rose to Paradise)apexJerusalem in Islam is considered a sacred city,[1] and has played a significant role in the faith. The al-Aqsa mosque of Jerusalem is considered the third holiest site in Islam, after the mosques of al-Haram and al-Nabawi. Also in particular:
- It is strongly associated with people regarded as Prophets of Islam - in particular, David, Solomon, and Jesus;
- It was the first qibla (direction of prayer) in Islam, before the Kaaba in Mecca;
- Muhammad is believed to have been taken by the miraculous steed Buraq to visit Jerusalem, where he prayed, and then to visit heaven, in a single night in the year 620. The Qur'anic verse (17:1) is interpreted by all widely used tafsirs (commentaries) as referring to this journey, with the term "the farthest Mosque" (al-masjid al-Aqsa) referring to the Noble Sanctuary in Jerusalem, where the mosque stands:
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ
Subhana al-lazei asra b-abdihi laylan mmina al-masjidi al-haram ila al-masjidi al-aqsa al-lazei barakna haolah
" Glory to He (God) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless (Yusuf Ali's translation). "

The Muslims believe in all the Prophets (May peace be upon them all). They also believe in all the holy books including Zaboor, Torah, the Bible, the Qur'an. Many of the holy Prophets are buried in Jerusalem. The last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) led the prayer offered by all the Prophets at Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Muslims had been offering prayer facing Al-Aqsa Mosque for many years. The holy Prophet (SAW) ascended on his Heavenly Journey (Mi'araj) from Al-Aqsa Mosque. Thus for these reasons Jerusalem is important and sacred for the Muslims. Jerusalem is important to Muslims because it is where Muhammad rose to paradise.
