Added more context to quoted verses to avoid confusion.

Apr 21, 2017 at 17:10 comment added UmH @AChildofGod 17:7 is talking about the destruction of the Temple of Solomon, see more context. The word Yerusalem is not present in the original arabic and only "Masjid" (temple). The Torah doesn't name the city either and the Quran is best compared with that since Muslims claim it to be dictated word of God (similar to the Torah) rather than divine inspiration (the remainder of the Tanakh).
Apr 21, 2017 at 15:14 comment added Rebecca J. Stones I would only be guessing as to why the Qur'an does not mention Jerusalem outright.

Apr 21, 2017 at 15:05 comment added Christian Sirolli Qur'an 17:7 doesn't even have Jerusalem in it. What it translated as "the temple in Jerusalem" really means "the Mosque" or as Quran.com says "the Masjid". Maybe there is something in the context that I am missing here.
