Al Aqsa mosque, the meaning of the name is the most extreme. The Koran tells the story of the journey of the prophet Mohamed from the mosque in Mecca to Al Aqsa mosque without mentioning where it is. The Islamic tradition states that it is in Jerusalem, although Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran.
