Identity of Jerusalem/al-Quds location as Jewish/Christian Origin/Biblical Holy Land first appeared during crusades. "How 19th Century Western Archaeologists Made Jerusalem a Zionist Dream
The search for biblical treasures starting in the 19th century fundamentally changed the way Westerners, including Jews, saw Jerusalem. The consequences were enormous"
The contemporary Jewish community, e.g living in Spain or other parts, did not endorse the Crusaders identification of the location. Jewish community only began endorsing the Christian view of the location much later may be as late as close to the beginning of Zionist movements.
The Rise of Christendom by Prof. Edwin Johnson, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner, & Company, Limited, 1890 ,page 290
Few centuries ago when bustling European centers of Islamic Civilization specially Sicily & Spain provided Jewish people safety, wealth and best opportunities to enjoy life they were not interested in any other part of the world including Palestine. While they were developing a new language for their national/religious identity they first translated names of their beloved European home lands into that language.

"Professor Finkelstein, who is known as "the father of biblical archaeology", told the Jerusalem Post that Jewish archaeologists have found no historical or archaeological evidence to back the biblical narrative on the Exodus, the Jews' wandering in Sinai or Joshua's conquest of Canaan. On the alleged Temple of Solomon, Finkelstein said that there is no archaeological evidence to prove it really existed."

A map of the area that includes Palestine dated 1045 AD , before crusades, does not show any place named Jerusalem:
Non-religious archeologists, including Finkelstein of Israel, conclude that biblical stories can not be related to the present land of Israel including Jerusalem because nothing conclusive have been found despite more than century of active research.
Finkelstein, Israel, and Silberman, Neil Asher, The Bible Unearthed : Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts
Qur'anic texts about Qibla in the initial Madani period only talks about a direction, East or West, and not any point of location. It must be noted that Quranic text does not include north direction. Present location named Jerusalem is in the North of Medina so this location can not related to the Qur'anic text.
سَيَقُولُ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَا وَلَّاهُمْ عَن قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا ۚ قُل لِّلَّـهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ ۚ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿١٤٢﴾ سورة البقرة
The fools among the people will say, 'What has turned them from the direction they were facing in their prayers aforetime?' Say: "To God belong the East and the West; He guides whomsoever He will to a straight path.' (142)
Quran denies suitability of direction as Qibla and points to universal Qibla the house of Allah that Ibrahim re-built
فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ ۗ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۗ وَمَا اللَّـهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٤٤﴾
Palestine had no relation with Biblical locations is not anything new. The well known professor of Middle East History, literature, archeology, Kamal Salibi, wrote about abandoning any further work to find Biblical locations in Palestine and suggested central west Arabia as the far better suitable location as being location for past Biblical stories. He wrote a famous book "The Bible Came from Arabia", 1985.

Rashi (Shlomo Yitzchaki d1105, medieval rabbi) , explains that the Beis HaMikdash(BaitulMuqadis)* has already been constructed by G‑d and exists in the heavenly realms, waiting for the time when it will descend to the earth. [Sukkah 41a, Rosh HaShanah 30a. See also Tosafos, Sukkah, loc. cit.]
*Jerusalem
Spanish Jews once constituted one of the largest and most prosperous Jewish communities in the world. This period ended definitively with the Alhambra decree of 1492 forcing them to convert to Catholicism, go into exile, or be killed. During their expulsion from Spain in the fifteenth century and later settlement in other locations the Jewish community did not show any special interest in gathering for settling and long-term residing at the place now they now call Jerusalem. Jews arriving in Ottoman Empire mostly settled in economically prosperous areas with better opportunities e.g areas around Selanik (Thessaloniki in Greek) and to some extent in Istanbul and İzmir." Similarly they spread to other parts of the world with opportunities and prospects of better life and future.
A lot of Sephardim* (~30,000) went to North Africa, the last remnant of the Islamic empire under which they had lived reasonably safely in Spain. However, the most Sephardim (~110,000), attracted by a welcome from Sultan Bajazet, went to Turkey and the western part of the Ottoman Empire. Only a few went to the place they now call Holy Lands.
"The number of those who were thus driven from Spain has been differently estimated by various observers and historians. Juan de Mariana, in his history of Spain, claims as many as 800,000. Isidore Loeb, in a special study of the subject in the Revue des Études Juives (xiv. 162–183), reduces the actual number of emigrants to 165,000. Bernáldez gives details of about 100,000 who went from Spain to Portugal: 3,000 from Benevente to Braganza; 30,000 from Zamora to Miranda; 35,000 from Ciudad Rodrigo to Villar; 15,000 from Miranda de Alcántara to Marbao; and 10,000 from Badajoz to Yelves. According to the same observer, there were altogether 160,000 Jews in Aragon and Castile. Abraham Zacuto reckons those who went to Portugal at 120,000. Lindo asserts that 1,500 families of Jewish Moriscos from the kingdom of Granada were the first to leave the country. It may be of interest to give the following estimates of Loeb's of the numbers of those who were in Spain before the expulsion and of those who emigrated to different parts of the world:
These estimates can possibly be regarded as a minimum; it is fairly probable that at least 200,000 fled the country, leaving behind them their dead and a large number of relatives who had been forced by circumstances to conceal their religion and to adopt Christianity. About 12,000 appear to have entered Navarre, where they were allowed to remain. Tudela in Navarre turns into a converso haven. The Tudelans had already proclaimed in 1486 that " if any inquisitor enters their city, he will would be thrown into the Ebro river." Later the resistance to the inquisitors is so strong that its aldermen order commissioners and attorneys ask the Catholic Monarchs to limit the power of the Inquisition.[29][30][31] Under the pressure of the kings of Spain both the newcomers and the Navarrese Jews that didn't convert to Catholicism were expelled from the kingdom in 1498. The expulsion seems to have produced a boat people crisis. The ports of Cartagena, Valencia, and Barcelona were provided by Ferdinand with ships to take the fugitives where they would; but the Jews often found difficulty in landing, owing to disease breaking out among them while on board ship. The rest returned to Spain and were baptized. Nine crowded vessels arrived at Naples and communicated pestilence. At Genoa they were only allowed to land provided they received baptism. Those who were fortunate enough to reach the Ottoman Empire had a better fate, the Sultan Bayezid II was known to sarcastically send his gratitude to Ferdinand for sending him some of his best subjects, thus "impoverising his own lands while enriching his (Bayezid's)". Jews arriving in Ottoman Empire mostly settled in and around Selanik (Thessaloniki in Greek) and to some extent in Istanbul and İzmir."

The publication date of the map is shown to be 1720, however this does not mean it shows the contemporary political geography of the area. The names of locations, divisions are all Pre-islamic, pre historic era termed as Ptolemy maps. Ottomans controlled the area during the 18th century
an Ottoman map displaying 1792 locations & political divisions show locations easy recognizable with locations names that still exist today.
A cartographer of 1720 drawing a map of the area as it was imagined to be thousands of year ago is not a peculiar thing. There are many other examples such as Piri Re‘is map dated 1513 CE. It displays some locations which are said to have come from other ancient maps survived from many thousands of years past.
The map shows the cities which were large and globally known metropolitan in the Palestine Syria area it shows Palmyra in the north-East above and Heroopolis in the south west. Not only that it does not show any Jerusalem it also does not show any other marks that indicate the cartographer intends to display any association of this area with the biblical story. Believers of Biblical history version always show the area association with Judea and Samaria. The map on the other hand simply shows the whole area as Palestina and Phoenice Syria seprated by river Jordon. The observation stated here that the maps of this area displaying Biblical locations existing in the are is a recent phenomena. During crusades only Jerusalem was added to the maps of this area. The additional association of other Biblical locations began appearing in the area maps much later.

" Noman an Arab vassal king of Hora has charge of Bahram son of one of the Persian kings for whom he builds a khawarnaq or palace Noman was an idolater but had a Syrian vizier who followed the religion of Isa son of Mariam believed Makkah has temple of Allah , brought the king to Mecca for increasing him in religion of Isa and bid the king shave his head and make processions about the temple To this king is ascribed the act of first removing the idols from the temple and covering it with cloth "

سوف نعرض في هذا الجزء من المقال لمكان وجود المسجد الأقصى الحقيقي كما بينته كتب التراث.
1- كتاب المغازي للواقدي اذ يقول فيه :
وَانْتَهَى رَسُولُ اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ إلَى الْجِعِرّانَةِ لَيْلَةَ الْخَمِيسِ لِخَمْسِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَأَقَامَ بِالْجِعِرّانَةِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ فَلَمّا أَرَادَ الِانْصِرَافَ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ خَرَجَ مِنْ الْجِعِرّانَةِ لَيْلَةَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ لِاثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ بَقِيَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ لَيْلًا; فَأَحْرَمَ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الّذِي تَحْتَ الْوَادِي بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوَى، وَكَانَ مُصَلّى رَسُولِ اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ إذَا كَانَ بِالْجِعِرّانَةِ، فَأَمّا هَذَا الْمَسْجِدُ الْأَدْنَى، فَبَنَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَاِتّخَذَ ذَلِكَ الْحَائِطَ عِنْدَهُ .
2- كتاب بحوث في الفقه المعاصر، الجزء الثاني اذ جاء فيه :
الجعرانة هي موضع بين مكّة والطائف من الحِلِّ، بينها وبين مكّة ثمانية عشر ميلا على ما ذكره الباجي، وتقع شمال شرقي مكة المكرمة، وفيها علما الحدّ، ومنها أحرم رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ) لعمرته الثالثة على ما نصت عليه الروايات، وفيها مسجده الذي صلّى فيه وأحرم منه عند مرجعه من الطائف بعد فتح مكة، ويقع هذا المسجد وراء الوادي بالعدوة القصوى ويعرف بالمسجد الأقصى لوجود مسجد آخر بُني من قبل أحد المحسنين يعرف بالمسجد الأدنى.
3- جاء في حواشي الشرواني على تحفة المحتاج بشرح المنهاج ج 4 ص 50
"اعتمر منها، أي من الجعرانة، قال الواقدي إنه صلى الله عليه وسلم أحرم منها من المسجد الأقصى الذي تحت الوادي بالعدوة القصوى في ليلة الأربعاء لاثنتي عشرة بقيت من ذي القعدة .. وقوله [ثم أصبح] أي ثم عاد بعد الاعتمار إلى الجعرانة فأصبح فيها فكأنه بات فيها ولم يخرج منها"
جاء في كتاب أخبار مكة وما جاء فيها من الأثار للأزرقي ج 2 ص 207
قال محمد ابن طارق: " اتفقت أنا ومجاهد بالجعرانة فأخبرني أن المسجد الأقصى الذي من وراء الوادي بالعدوة القصوى مصلى النبي كان بالجعرانة، أما هذا المسجد الأدنى فإنما بناه رجل من قريش"
4- جاء في مسند أبي يعلى ج 12 ص 359، عن أم سلمة أنها سمعت رسول الله يقول من أهلَّ بحجة أو عمرة من المسجد الأقصى إلى المسجد الحرام غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر أو وجبت له الجنة"
وهنا نرى ارتباط في الحج والعمرة بين المسجد الأقصى والمسجد الحرام، وهذا لا يتحقق إلا إن كان محمد (ص) يحكي عن المسجد الحرام الذى بمكة والمسجد الأقصى الذى بالجعرانة.
2 ـ الجعرانة :
ضبطها « بكسر الجيم وإسكان العين المهملة وتشديد الراء المهملة المفتوحة » كما عن الجمهرة . وعن الأصمعي والشافعي : « بكسر الجيم وإسكان العين وتخفيف الراء . قيل العراقيون يثقلونه والحجازيون يخففونه » وحكي عن ابن ادريس : بفتح الجيم وكسر العين وتشديد الراء أيضاً ، فالراء فيها تخفف وتشدّد لاستعمالين موثقين .
وهي موضع بين مكّة والطائف من الحِلِّ ، بينها وبين مكّة ثمانية عشر ميلا على ما ذكره الباجي ، وتقع شمال شرقي مكة المكرمة ، وفيها علما الحدّ، ومنها أحرم رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)لعمرته الثالثة على ما نصت عليه الروايات ، وفيها مسجده الذي صلّى فيه وأحرم منه، عند مرجعه من الطائف بعد فتح مكة، ويقع هذا المسجد وراء الوادي بالعدوة القصوى ويعرف بالمسجد الأقصى لذلك، ولوجود مسجد آخر بُني من قبل أحد المحسنين يعرف بالمسجد الأدنى. وبالقرب من مسجد الرسول (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) بئر واسعة عذب ماؤها . وهي اليوم قرية صغيرة تبعد عن مكة في الشمال الشرقي لها بحوالي أربعة وعشرين كيلو متراً ، وفيها المسجد الذي أقامته الحكومة السعودية محرماً ، شرقي أرض المسجد القديم دونما فصل بينهما ..16 ولكن مؤلف معجم معالم الحجاز ذكر عن الجعرانة: « ومن قال : إنها (الجعرانة) بين مكة والطائف فقد أخطأ ، فهي شمال مكة ، مع ميل إلى الشرق ولا لزوم في ذكر الطائف في تحديدها أبداً ، إذ هي لا تبعد عن مكة بأزيد من (29) كيلو متراً »17 .
الجعرانة وموقعها الجغرافي :
كما ذكر مؤلف مختصر معجم معالم مكّة التاريخية أن « جبل الستار يقع قُرب الجعرانة من الجنوب ، وهو الجبل الذي يُشرف على علمي طريق نجد من الشمال ، والذاهب من مكة الى نخلة يجعل الستار على يساره عن قرب ، والجعرانة ـ اليوم ـ قرية صغيرة في صدر وادي سَرِف »18 .
أيكفى هذا برهاناً عن موقع المسجد الاقصى الحقيقي وانه قرب مكة وليس في القدس ؟
http://www.islamist-movements.com/32477
"المسجد الأقصى الموجود في ارض الحجاز في المملكة العربية السعودية وفي منطقة تسمى ( الجِعرانة ) وهي تقع شمال مكة ب 29 كيلومتر، وفي وادي العدوة القصوى التي ما زال اسمها يستعمل حتى اليوم .
