About this event
The blessed Al Aqsa sanctuary is home to many core Abrahamic faith beliefs. In fact it is described that the entire 36-acre compound does not have a single footspan which has not been prayed on by a prophet or an angel!
What is the history behind this sacred piece of land? Why is so sought over? Has there ever been peaceful coexsitence of diverse believers on this land? Discover the deep cultural heritage, architectural marvels, and the spiritual significance that makes Al Aqsa a beacon of hope and unity for Muslims around the world.
Join us as Ustadh Ehab, a Jerusalemite scholar born and raised through the occupation, who holds a PhD in Islamic History, acquaints us with the stories of our spiritual ancestors that have shaped the fascinating nooks and cranny of this spiritually transformative holy site.

Note: While there is no cost to this event, we are requesting a reasonable donation for Ustadh Ehab's time, expertise, and generous sharing as the tourism industry in Palestine has been shut down for 3 months. A sliding scale donation of $20-$100+ will be collected during the Zoom session via Zelle. A donation is NOT a requirement to attend the class as access to this knowledge is imperative and should have NO barriers.
