There are many cities in the world in which things of importance to different religions are present. But there is a small place in the world where people of not 1 but 3 religions stake their claim. This place is a small part of the land, but it is so important that wars have been going on over it for years. The name of this place is Jerusalem (Which place is most sacred for 3 religions) which is in Israel. There is a small area in this city, which is very sacred for Christians, Jews and Muslims. For this reason it is considered one of the holiest cities in the world.
In the center of this city is the old city (Jerusalem) which is called Old City. There are walls like a fort all around, around which there are holy places of all three religions. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is present in the Christian area. It is a holy place for Christians all over the world because they believe that it was here that Jesus Christ was crucified. Along with that, he had incarnated here only.

The place is sacred for all three religions
According to BBC, Dome of Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque are in the Muslim area. This place is considered very sacred in Islam. It is said that Prophet Mohammad had traveled from Mecca to here. After this, he went to heaven from the Dome of Rock itself. The third part of the city is handed over to the Jews. In this part there are ancient temple walls which are in the form of remains but are the center of their faith. It is believed that it was here that Abraham sacrificed his son Isaac.
Protest regarding the place has been going on for years
In 1967, when Israel won the 6-day war with the Arab countries, they captured East Jerusalem. Israel gave control of the mosque to an Islamic group but Israeli forces could go there. He also allowed Christians to go there. People of the Muslim community wanted that people of other religions should be prevented from going to the area of the mosque, which was most sacred for the Muslims. The fight between them increased due to just this issue.
