the prison of Akka at the time when thou didst set forth to visit the Aqsa

Mosque. 85





Francis Joseph (Franz Josef, 1830-1916), Emperor of Austria and King of

Hungary, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1869. While in the Holy Land he

failed to take the opportunity to inquire about Baha'u'llah Who at that

time was a prisoner in Akka (Acre).



The Aqsa Mosque, literally, the Most Distant Mosque, is referred to in

the Qur'an, and has become identified with the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
