116 O Emperor Of Austria!
He Who is the Dayspring of God's Light dwelt in
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.
