Al-Aqsa Mosque Jerusalem - 12 fils
This postage stamp was issued by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as part of its mid-1950s definitive series celebrating the nation's most profound religious, historical, and cultural landmarks. Following the unification of the West Bank with Jordan in 1950, the Jordanian state assumed administrative and spiritual custodianship over the holy sites of East Jerusalem. By featuring one of the most sacred sanctuaries in the Islamic world on its official postage, the government sought to solidify its sovereign responsibility, projecting its role as the dedicated guardian of these revered spaces to both domestic and international audiences. The subject of this issue is the historic Al-Aqsa Mosque (specifically the al-Qibli Mosque building), located within the Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) in Jerusalem. As the third holiest site in Islam and the original direction of prayer (qibla) for Muslims, the mosque holds immense spiritual and political significance across the Arab and Islamic worlds. Placing this monumental sanctuary on everyday postal paper served as a powerful symbol of national and religious identity, reinforcing the deep-seated historical ties between the Hashemite monarchy and the holy city of Jerusalem.
