There are many reasons why Muslims should make a sincere intention and their best e orts to visit Al Masjid Al Aqsa, below are a few.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught us that we should only undertake a 1 special journey to one of three Mosques; Al Masjid Al Haram in Makkah, Al Masjid An-Nabawi in Madinah, and Al Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem. In addition – prayer in each of these blessed Masaajid are multiplied in virtue, with one Salah in Al Masjid Al Aqsa receiving at least 500 times the reward of Salah elsewhere.
Al Masjid Al Aqsa has a very special status for Muslims because of 2 its own unique history, including being:The first qibla in Islam.
The second place of worship built in Islam (built 40 years 3 after Kaaba).
The place where the Prophet Muhammad (saw) travelled to on the 4 night of Isra; The place where the Prophet Muhammad (saw) led all the other Prophets in prayer. The place where the Prophet Muhammad (saw) ascended during the Miraj.
A place mentioned in the Quran as being “blessed” and “holy”, on 5 numerous occasions.

31 Surah-al-Hajj (27)
And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj). A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO HAJJ By Dr Khalid Khan
Is Hajj obligatory Can I delay my Hajj The provision for Will my Hajj be accepted? on me? for future? Hajj includes: The conditions for Hajj to be accepted are: “…And Hajj to the House (Ka`bah) is a Once a Muslim has the ‘ability’ he should • Pure Halal spending • That one performs it with pure Halal earning duty that mankind owes to Allah, those not delay Hajj, as the Messenger of Allah • Righteous deeds • That he performs it for the sake of Allah who have the ability;…” said: • Righteous and knowledgeable Messenger of Allah was asked “ “Whoever intends for Hajj should haste as people to accompany • That he performs it strictly in accordance what is ability” and he replied “Provision he may fall ill or detracted or face a need with the Sunnah of the Prophet • People who are humble and will help and Transport”. (preventing him from Hajj)”. you perform your Hajj in accordance • That he/she does not have sexual relations with the Sunnah of the Messenger (with his/her spouse), nor commits sin, nor This means Hajj is obligatory on anyone of Allah disputes unjustly during the Hajj average Hajj package. Who should I accompany • That he does not follow his Hajj by any This is important because people unlawful deeds of disobedience to Allah and If one declines, despite the ability, then for Hajj? often choose the groups they join for His Messenger (peace be upon him) Allah says: As The Messenger of Allah described the ability for Hajj being “Provision and lodging options. This is later nullified “…and whoever disbelieves then Allah Transport”, many people think of provision stands not in need of any of the `Alamin as being food, drink and money. and teaching/instruction on how to (mankind, jinns and all that exists)...” perform the Hajj properly. Allah says: “… take the provision, and the best provision is righteousness…”
33 ARE THERE ANY BENEFITS OF HAJJ IN ADDITION TO FULFILLING THE OBLIGATION? By Dr Khalid Khan
Hajj is an act of worship that includes several other deeds of obedience and submission towards Allah and testifying his oneness. The Messenger of Allah has informed us of the great reward of Hajj in several narrations such as;
Narrated Abu Hurairah Narrated Abu Hurairah Abu Hurairah reported: That the Prophet was that Allah’s Messenger the Messenger of Allah said, asked, “Which is the best said, “whoever performs Hajj deed?” He said, “An Umrah to another Umrah and does not have marital “To believe in Allah and His is an expiation for what is (all relations, nor commits sin, Messenger”. He was then minor sins) between them. And nor disputes unjustly (during asked, “Which is the next the reward of Hajj Mabroor (the Ihram), then he returns from (in goodness)?” He said, “To one that is accepted by Allah) Hajj as pure and free from sins participate in Jihad in Allah’s is nothing except Paradise. as on the day on which his cause”. He was then asked, mother gave birth to him.’’ “Which is the next?” He said, [Bukhari and Muslim] “To perform Hajj-Mabroor (an [Bukhari and Muslim] accepted Hajj)”.
