One day two women and their two children were returning to their village from the fields. A wolf snatched the older woman's child away. When the older woman told the younger woman that the wolf had taken her child, a big argument started between the two women.

When the two women could not agree, they went to King David and asked for his arbitration. King David, realizing from the women's conversation that the child the wolf had taken belonged to the older woman, gave the child to the younger woman, but the older woman was still stubbornly claiming that the child belonged to her and was wreaking havoc.

Just then King David's son Solomon, who was about 12 or 13 years old, came in and took a huge sword in his hand. "Stop!" he said. "Don't fight! I am going to cut it in half right down the middle and divide it between the two of you, one of you taking one half and one of you taking the other half."

The younger one jumped in front of Suleiman, who raised his sword high. "Stop!" he said. This child is hers, not mine!"

Solomon took the child and gave it to the young woman.

Solomon was the third king of the Kingdom of Israel, the son of King David and Bathsheba. Famous for his intelligence, Solomon built the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem in order to make Jerusalem the center of the Jewish people and to house the Ark of the Covenant, where the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai were kept.

The Prophet from Gaza, the richest man in the world, the longest-lived and most gifted of all the prophets, and a ruler like his father David, built the first Jewish Temple while he was married to Belkis, the Queen of Sheba in Yemen. (Mountain Temple)

It was one of the most original temples in the world, built in 7 years.

It stood until 586 BC when it was sacked and razed to the ground by the Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar II. At that time the Holy Ark and the Ten Commandments disappeared. And the Jews were driven out of this land, which was described as "the Land of Judah".

Years later, the Jews returned to their land from exile and built the Second Temple in thirty-one years, until 515 BC. By 19 BC, after 500 years of growth and expansion, King Herod the Great built thick and high walls to protect and further expand the temple.

The temple remained as it was until the end of the first century AD, when it was jeopardized by growing tensions between the Romans and the Jews, who made up one tenth of the Roman Empire. 66 years later, fearing the growth of an anti-Jewish uprising, Roman leaders destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple. From then on, a "Jewish Diaspora" would begin to form outside Israel (70 AD). Today, what remains of this wall, known as the "WESTERN WALL" or the "WAILING WALL", is only the part that remains from the destruction by the Romans. Today, it is one of the biggest pilgrimage and holy sites for pilgrims.

Located in a 150-acre mountainous area called Harem-i Sharif, Masjid al-Aqsa, Dome of the Rock, Dome of the Rock, Mausoleum, Sebil, Hagar-i Muallak Stone, the place where Prophet Muhammad ascended to the Miraj and the Well of Souls are considered very sacred and indispensable for all three Abrahamic religions. It is one of the most sacred places for Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The Dome of the Rock (Dome of the Rock), which has a majestic appearance with a gold-covered dome, mistaken by many people today as the Al-Aqsa Mosque, faces each other in the same courtyard with the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Al-Aqsa Mosque (meaning the Farthest Mosque, so named because of its distance from Mecca). After the conquest of Jerusalem, it was built in 638 AD by Hz. Ömer, adjacent to the western wall of the first temple built by Hz. Solomon.

The Muallaq Stone in the center of the Dome of the Rock is descended by stairs and it looks as if it is suspended in the air due to the huge gap in the center. One of the two narrations about this stone is that the Prophet Muhammad was on top of this stone when he ascended to the Miraj and the stone ascended with him. The second is that the Prophet Abraham laid his son Ismail on this stone to sacrifice him. At that time the stone moved upwards.

In addition, the Gospel of Matthew says that Jesus Christ was from the House of David and was the grandson of the Jewish King Solomon. In fact, Moses was a Jewish Prophet. At the same time, this place where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to the Miraj is also very valuable for Muslims.

Again, the body of Jesus Christ and the cup dripping with his blood are still buried here under the name of "Holy Grail" or "Grail Cup" and these places were plundered many times by the Crusades under the pretext of taking it back. King Arthur's knights and many other knightly legends were commemorated for this fabricated reason, but one of the two main purposes was to destroy the Turks and the second was to perpetuate the false information fabricated by the Vatican. Otherwise, with a great sensation, the Vatican would have lost all its authority and it would have been revealed that Jesus was not the son of God and not a god, but only a man and a messenger, and that Maria Magdalena was not a prostitute but from a noble family and married to Jesus.

In 1917, when the British General Allenby, with the help of the Arabs and the British agent Lawrence of Arabia, expelled the Turks from Jerusalem and 30 thousand Mehmet soldiers were lost, it is quite meaningful and tragi-comic that Mustafa Kemal, after leaving the Palestine Front with great sadness, said "THE CRUSADER FIGHT IS OVER".
