Will Israel Destroy Al-Aqsa?

When we talk about, you know, the the they want to build that temple, and you got and and more, these kind of things and the end of time. How does that link into it? I mean, we you know, that has to happen anyway because as Muslims, we believe that so so so just just some of your thoughts on on that, please.

Well, I I I generally don't analyze, current affairs in the light of hadiths with regards to the last days. I don't believe we're in the last days. Yeah. No. I I I personally, I don't I don't I think that I think that the that the that the temple issue, I don't personally take it seriously.

I don't think that they're serious about it. I think it's just something to get people riled up, but I don't think that that's that that's actually in their interest to do. I mean, just economically, just financially. If you destroyed Al Aqsa, this is this is what I mean, what what what picture does does everyone in the world, Muslim and non Muslim, associate with Jerusalem? It's the Dome Of The Rock.

It's not any it's not the Wailing Wall. You know? It's not the whatever whatever whatever else that you can it's not even it's not even anything that's associated with Nabi' Isa alaihi salaam. Everyone in the world, when they think of Jerusalem, they think of the Dome Of The Rock. Well, that's a huge tourist draw for them.

That's a huge draw for for tourism. The the Arabs who go, where do you think they go? They don't go to Tel Aviv. They go to Jerusalem because they wanna see the Dome Of The Rock. They wanna see Masjid Al Aqsa.

So how does it even make sense for them economically to destroy that? It doesn't make any sense. There's not enough Jews in the world who are gonna come to the Wailing Wall, and they're gonna make enough money off of that compared to what they make from Arab tourists, especially if they're gonna sign agreements normalization agreements with the Saudis normalization agreements with with the rest of the Arab world because if Saudi Arabia signs a normalize normalization agreement with Israel, well, the rest of the Muslim countries will just come tumbling after, and that's going to increase that's gonna give them a massive amount of revenue from tourists, Muslims from all around the world who want to go and see. If it's not there, well, the the the you you you have completely destroyed that potential for for making any money. So I don't I don't think that they're they're they're serious about that.

And we have to you know, remember, I mean, you know, I I I don't wanna be stereotypical, but it's it's not even it's not just true about the Yahud. It's true about most people. It's true about most people who are particularly who are not Muslim that they're mostly concerned in life with their material self interest. They're mostly concerned with their finances. They're mostly concerned with their wealth.

And I don't think that the Israelis are any different. I don't think that the Jews are any different. So I don't I don't I don't see them deliberately undermining, the the the the probably the number one tourist draw, in Israel. I don't I don't see them doing that.
