Well… not the famous Christian thing you may have thought of. This time we will discuss another Holy Trinity. In one corner of this triangle, we find the Muslims. They believe that Muhammad traveled overnight from Mecca to Jerusalem, to the Temple Mount, and later also rode a horse from there to heaven to meet […]
