Difference betwen  Masjid Al-Aqsa and The Dome of the Rock.

Whenever Masjid Al-Aqsa is mentioned in the media, they show the picture of Masjid (Dome of the Rock) WHY?????

This a common misconception going around and if we don't understand this it will go on, therefore we need to understand it carefully and try to correct ourselves and our children.

The main reason for that is the Zionist Conspiracy to erase from the memory of Muslims worldwide, the true picture of Masjid Al-Aqsa

You can clearly see Al-Aqsa Mosque on the left side and Al-Sakhrah Mosque(Dome of Rock) on the right

A top view to clarify it more

This is dome to rock

Masjid Al-Aqsa, where Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W) led the prayers for the other messengers and prophets on the night of Al-Isra' wal Me'raj

Masjid Al  Aqsa

And say: "˜TRUTH has come and Falsehood has vanished. Surely ! Falsehood is ever bound to vanish.' Surah Al-Isra'(17) verse 81
