The Palestine Information Network (PIN) is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of our maiden book, Masjid al-Aqsa: A Journey through Time.
Authored by PIN co-ordinator and media personality Hafiz Ebrahim Moosa, the book is a fresh chronological approach to the history of Masjid al-Aqsa with significant depth and detail.
Some unique features of the work:
- Telling the story of the Masjid from an Islamocentric paradigm.
- Easy to follow chronological approach through various historical eras and the relation of the Masjid to each.
- Expanding the appreciation of the Masjid from just one or two commonly related events to a broad vista that extends from the beginning to the end of time.
- How the Muslim connection to Al-Aqsa is an intrinsic rather than occasional one.
- Complemented with ample colourful pictures and a bold, compact and appealing design.
- ‘Sidenote’ fact boxes that provide fascinating anecdotes to complement the core text.
- A labour of love, and a call from the heart to fulfill our responsibilities towards Masjid al-Aqsa.
