After Makkah Mukarramah and al-Madina al-Munawwara, Palestine (Jerusalem) is the most sacred place for Muslims. Except for a period between 1099-1187 AD, since the days of Hazrat Umer (ra) when Jews handed over the keys to the City of Jerusalem to him without lifting a sword, Palestine has been a part of the Muslim Empire. Jews and Christians had always wanted to take it away from the Muslims.
