Saudi donates $150 to E.Jerusalem Islam heritage-But Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Quran

Saudi Arabia announced on Sunday a $150 million donation to the maintenance of Islamic heritage, namely the religious administration that oversees Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque— one of Islam’s holiest sites at the start of an Arab summit.
The Kingdom announced another $50 million for programs run by the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) after the US slashed its aid.
King Abdullah II of Jordan opened the 29th Arab League Summit in Saudi Arabia’s Dhahran, stressing the need for a two-state solution and condemning the US’s decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman also condemned the move and reiterated the Kingdom's rejection of the US decision, while emphasizing the need to have East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
Saudi Arabia, which takes over the rotating chair of the Arab summit from Jordan, announced that the current gathering would be named the “Quds (Jerusalem) Summit,” a reference to US President Donald Trump’s decision last year to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel which Arab states condemned.
"We reiterate our rejection of the US decision on Jerusalem," Salman said. "East Jerusalem is an integral part of the Palestinian territories."
The king said he had named this year's meeting "the Jerusalem summit so that the entire world knows Palestine and its people remain at the heart of Arab concerns".
However, the strongest criticism of the Trump administration came from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
“The decisions have made the United States a party to the conflict and not a neutral mediator,” Abbas said at the summit.
Saudi King Salman told leaders from across the 22-member Arab League that Iran was to blame for instability and meddling in the region. He said Yemeni rebel Houthis, backed by Iran, had fired 116 missiles at the kingdom since Saudi Arabia went to war in Yemen three years ago to try and roll back Houthi gains there.“We renew our strong condemnation of terrorist acts carried out by Iran in the Arab region, and we reject its blatant interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries,” King Salman said in the eastern Saudi Arabian city, without giving specifics.
He called on the international community to take a strong stance against Iran’s aggression in the region, as well as the militias that are cutting off aid to war-torn Yemen.
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit said Assad’s government and “international players trying to achieve their own strategic political goals” bear responsibility for the crisis there.
“Regional interference in Arab affairs has reached an unprecedented degree. And first of these is the Iranian interference, the aim of which is not for the well-being of the Arabs or their interests,” he said.
Aboul Gheit added that major threats facing Arabs are all equally important and dangerous.
“Current challenges call for dialogue on priorities of Arab national security,” Aboul Gheit said.

He also said that the Syrian regime bears a great responsibility in the “collapse of its homeland and loss of dignity.”
Prior to the opening of the summit, King Salman received Arab leaders and heads of delegations participating in the 29th Arab League Summit at the King Abdulaziz International Cultural Center in Dhahran.

You must know 2 important thing !!

1. Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the holy Islam Quran !
2. When Muslims pray , they turn towrads Mecca... While doing that
they turn their behinds ( a$$ ) towards Jerusalem.

Allah will punish his followers for their lies.

 

the quran mentions jerusalem, just not by the name jerusalem.

{O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allaah has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allaah’s cause] and [thus] become losers.} [Quran 5:21]

that's just a random example, there's more. it would be really cool if you could bother to put in the most basic effort to make sure you aren't so embarassingly wrong

 

Would it not be the same providing funds for maintenance of St Peter's Basilica even though it wasn't mentioned in the bible?

 

Just as Araffat, the son of 1000 Sharmutot , invented the name "Palestinians"... Muslims invented the connection
between them and Jerusalem.
Besides Al-Aqza you have nothing to do their.

 

I’m no expert on this, but with Islam being one of the abrahamic religions, doesn’t it have Old Testament in the Quran? If so, then I’d think Jerusalem is mentioned in there.
Again, I’m an atheist and don’t know a whole lot about Islam, so I could be wrong.

 

That's Moses, speaking to the Jews.

 

As googleMurray provided, the story on Moses, the jews and "the Holy land" are included in the Koran

 

They claim the Jews changed the words of the god. So you cannot take the old testament words to prove that claim, because if you do, Islam is wrong anyways.

 

They should read their books a little more thoroughly......

Just as Araffat, the son of 1000 Sharmutot & and the father of the "Paleshtino nation", invented the name "Palestinians"... Muslims invented the connection
between them and Jerusalem.
Besides Al-Aqza you have nothing to do their.

 

Just want to make it known that this is false, geometrically.

Indeed, the vast majority of Muslims will be almost-facing Jerusalem.

Thank you.

 

My friend .. i was talking about the Muslims in Israel ( the so called "Palestinians" ) which claim the right of owning the holy city.
When i visited Jerusalem and Nazareth i saw that they turn their behinds ( a$$ ) towards Jerusalem.

 

How can they turn they’re back on Jerusalem if they’re in Jerusalem?!?

Muslims face Mecca when they pray, regardless of where they are and whatever happens to be behind them is irrelevant. Mecca is roughly south of Jerusalem so a Muslim praying south of Jerusalem will indeed have their back to the city but a Muslim praying north of Jerusalem will be facing it.

 

The Koran mentions Jerusalem several times.

 

Cool story. We have a religion subforum, ya know. The rest of this is the usual war of words we see from the Anti-Iran League (if that's not an official term, it should be).

 

Cite the verse

 

Exalted is He Who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haraam to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.} [Quran 17:1]

 

All this is about, is Jews claiming that they got the right to ethnic cleanse Muslims out of Jerusalem.

It's not mentioned in the Quran -> there can't be Muslim heritage sites -> they dont belong here but we do.

 

No. It does not.
And the sentence you added in another post does not contain the
word Jerusalem.
Do you know how many times Jerusalem is mentioned in the bible ?

 

No mention of Jerusalem in the verse. And no mosque in Jerusalem when that was written. First mosque was built in Jerusalem after Muhammads death.
