Al-Aqsa Masjid



Art History

Many may think that Art education is a waste of time in Islamic schools. However art education does not only teach creativity and inventiveness but also culture, history and general knowledge.
After all can you tell which of the two pictures above shows the Al-Aqsa Masjid?
Which did you choose? The one on the right is not and is actually thought to be the Al-Aqsa Masjid by a lot of Muslims while the actual Masjid is shown on the left. The one on the right is actually the Qubat As-Sakhra Masjid.
Knowledge is power and depriving our children of any type can be more devastating that you think.
