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 bowing as commanded by Allah. An underground location in this city is legendarily named for the dead people that can be heard in it. In another city, a mosque with two mihrabs commemorates the change in direction of prayer from this city. (-5[1])Buraq (10[1]-5[1])took Muhammad (10[1])to a location (-5[1])in this city where he negotiated (10[1])the number (-5[1])of daily prayers down to five. The Isra’ and Mi’raj recount Muhammad’s Night Journey on a winged horse (-5[1])to this city where he ascended to heaven. For 10 points, name this sacred city in Islam home to the al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock. (10[1])■END■ (10[3]0[1])
