Glory to God that moved his creature nighttime from the Sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque which is blessed around it...
... And they pray to God to a city that you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name (Bible, Kings I book, Chapter VIII, 44)
Jerusalem and the holy land of Palestine has high status to the followers of three great faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The remains of the great prophets in the city explain its spiritual placement. "Wailing Wall", "The Church of the Holy grave" or "Church of the Resurrection" are of the holy places of Jews and Christians. Rock located under the "Dome of the Rock" is sacred and masters of all three religions, and "al-Aqsa" Mouse had a special sanctity for Muslims due to the Ascension of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). The mosque was also a Mecca for Muslims for a while.
The importance and sanctity of Jerusalem to Muslims is especially evident in their behavior when opening the city. On the eve of the conquest of Palestine, the second Caliph, Umar, deposed extremist commander of Muslims, Khalid ibn al-Walid, and appointed Abu Obeida in his place who was more moderate. After arriving to Jordan he suggested in a letter to the Romans that either convert to Islam or pay tribute to them; otherwise they shall be ready to fight. He also noted in his letter that more than interest of Christians in life, drinking and eating pork, Muslims are interested to death.
Romans chose the third option and were ready to fight. Abu Obeida also sieged the city. It lasted a year and four months, and Romans surrendered due to hunger, but subjected the surrender of the city to arrival of the Caliph.
Abu Obeida also reported the issue in a letter to the Caliph and assured him that there is no deception by the Romans. Khalifa, who had not gone out of the medina until then, questioned in doing so. After consulting the elders of Medina he was finally ready to depart for Jerusalem, and after talks, he wrote a letter to residents, as follows:
In the name of God. This is a letter that the servant of Allah, Omar, Faithful Commander, has given to the people of Jerusalem. He let their lives, property and churches and crosses and other people who are healthy or sick to be safe. No one will reside in their churches and will not destroy it and nothing will be reduced of their things and crosses and their property. They do not have to leave their religion, and there would be no harm to none of them, and no Jew will be settled with them in Jerusalem; And Aylya people have to continue to pay the taxes that people in the other cities pay, too, and it is their task to take the Romans and thieves out of the city. Everyone who comes out of Jerusalem will be in a safe place until he gets to a safe place. Anyone who actually stays in the city is safe, and he has to pay tribute of people of Jerusalem. Every one of Ilya people who wants to go with the Romans, provided that their praying place and monasteries are empty, they are safe in their life and cross to reach a safe place. Landowners who were in Jerusalem before killing the person [?], if they want to stay there, that's for them to pay taxes like the jizya of people of Jerusalem, and whoever wants to can go with the Romans and to harvest and harvesting, nothing will be taken from them. On what was written in the letter is Testament and the Book of Allah and the Prophet and obligation of Caliphs and believers, provided that they pay taxes that have been imposed upon them.
On this issue, Khalid bin Walid, Amr ibn Al-Aas, Abdur Rahman bin Awf and Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan are witnesses, and the treaty was written and prepared in the fifteenth year.
While in Jerusalem, old and simple clothes of Khalifa impressed Christians who had the idea of an empire. Caliph saw the town and all the sacred places of the city by guidance of "Sofronius" priest of town and before everything, he met Ascension of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). The behavior and speech of Omar should be compared, especially since it was quoted the behavior with the Crusaders while conquering the city. Since then, that Jerusalem was captured by Muslims, both before and after the Crusades, besides preserving and protecting sites belonging to other religions, rulers and rich people, each according to their own prosperity started building magnificent mosques in that city; here only the list of the locations and their sponsors will be mentioned.
