Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) established another house of worship (Baitullah or House of God) in ancient Jerusalem 40 years after he and his elder son Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) completed rebuilding of the Ka'bah (Baitullah) in Makkah. Prophet Ibrahim referred to this second Baitullah as Al-Aqsa as "Masjid Al-Aqsa", which means the farthest place of worship north-west of the Ka'bah in Makkah. Later when Jacob and his children migrated to Egypt, he entrusted care of Masjid Al-Aqsa to the natives of the area, the Palestinians. Prophet Daud (David) was installed as King of Judah (Judea) in 1010 BCE. For the first 7 years he administered Judah from Hebron. However, in 1017 BCE, King David conquered the Jebusites walled city of Jebus, rebuilt it and renamed it as The City of David (ancient Jerusalem).
Masjid al-Aqsa was later rebuilt by David's youngest son, King Solomon (Prophet Sulaiman, pbuh) in 963 BCE. King Solomon extended the walls of Jebus City to include Mount Moriah (with the rock As-Sakhra located at its peak) and proceeded to rebuild Masjid al-Aqsa located at the base of Mount Moriah and named the whole area as 'the most holy place' (referred to by present day Jews as the 1st Temple, although Judaism did not yet exist at that time). King Solomon renamed the walled city as Jerusalem (City of Peace). His reign lasted for 40 years (he died in 938 BCE).
The Quran refers to 'the most holy place' as the Al-Aqsa which is the whole area now known as Haram Al-Shareef.
