The answer

The questioner did not understand what was narrated about the Christian regarding their service to Muslims at the Western Wall (Buraq Wall), and requests clarification. As for the claim that Jerusalem is not the right of Muslims, it is responded to that the earth belongs to Allah, and He inherits it to whom He wills from His servants. Muslims are the most deserving of inheriting the earth because Islam is the true religion that all the earth should embrace. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent to all mankind, and Muslims are commanded to spread Allah's rule on earth. Historically, Palestine was owned by Arabs before the Children of Israel, then it passed through the rule of multiple states until the Islamic conquest in 638 CE, which was a salvation for Christians from Roman persecution. Muslims do not base their right to Jerusalem on prior Arab presence, but on Allah's decree that the earth belongs to Him and He inherits it to whom He wills. The Muslims' abandonment of their religion weakened them, and when they return to it, victory and sovereignty will return to them.
