During the Isra Mi'raj, Allah SWT commanded muslims to pray daily - facing Jerusalem. After the migration to Medina, the direction of prayer was changed to Mecca. By Allah's Will, Prophet Muhammad did not restore the Jerusalem Temple, but in the last years of his life, he did restore the Kaaba. He restored the House of God as it was originally built by Prophet Abraham. After the restoration, he performed the hajj (pilgrimage) & made the qurban (sacrifice) - the way Prophet Abraham did.

Back in Mecca, the Baitullah (بيت الله : House of God) is undergoing massive expansion. [video] Even though still under construction, it is still welcoming pilgrims from around the world for the Hajj, every year. Pilgrims will perform rites in Mecca, and Muslims worldwide will offer هدى sacrifice (قربان : qurban). The Zam Zam water too still flows for the pilgrims in Mecca, and litres of the water is sent worldwide. الحمد لله
For the Jews, the Promised Messiah will:
• build the Third Temple, where the sacrifice (קרבן : korban) is reinstated
• govern a state ("Medina" מדינה means "state")
• unite all mankind from across the world
So. Is this the Third Temple as narrated in the Book of Ezekiel?
The Jerusalem Temple will show the direction, to the south! (◠v◠)/
ירושלים (Jerusalem) → yareh (ירה : see, direct to) + shalom (שלום : peace)
I seek refuge in Allah SWT from errors
Only Allah SWT Knows Best والله أعلم
