Question

A wife of Muhammad named Safiyya claimed that a place in this city is where people will be separated and enter either heaven or hell. In Surah al-Baqarah, people enter this city sideways instead of (-5[2])bowing (10[1])as commanded by Allah. An underground location in this city is legendarily named for the dead people that can be heard in it. (10[1])In another city, a (10[1])mosque with two mihrabs (10[1])commemorates the change in direction of prayer from this city. (10[1]-5[1])Buraq took Muhammad to (10[1])a location in (10[1])this city (10[1])where he negotiated the number of (-5[1])daily prayers down to five. The Isra’ (10[2])and Mi’raj recount Muhammad’s Night Journey (-5[1])on a winged horse to this city where he ascended to heaven. For 10 points, (10[1])name (10[1])this sacred city in Islam home to the al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock. ■END■ (10[2])
