Mecca or Makkah (in Saudi Arabia) is the most important, since every Muslim is required to go on a pilgrimage to that city at least once in a lifetime. The next most important is Medina (in Saudi Arabia, and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (in East Jerusalem, Palestine Territories).

For the same reason that all sacred places are considered so -- something important happened, or was alleged to have happened, there. The Main three general sites are 1) al-Makkah, where Mohammed was born; 2) al-Madinat al-Nabi ("Medina"), where he's buried, and 3) Jerusalem, which he supposedly visited in a dream. Many other places are sacred to the sect of Shi'ites, since, as a persecuted minority, they experienced more that their share of tragic battles.

__________________________________________________________

Sacred places in Islam are considered sacred for being related important religious events. For example, Makkah (or Mecca) is a sacred place for having Kaaba there which is the first God worship house on earth and for being the place where the first verses of Quran were revealed to prophet Muhammad by God through the angel Gabriel (or Jibril). Jerusalem is a sacred Islamic place because it was the place where prophet Muhammad was lifted up to the Heavens during the miracle called " AlIsraa and Almi3raj". AlMasinah (or Medina) is a sacred place where there is the Prophet Mosque (or AlMasjid Alnabawi) and where the prophet is buried together with the first two Caliphs About Bakr and Omar.

How many sacred places are there in the world?

There is only one, but it is VERY big. __________________ It would depend on how you define "sacred". If you were a moderate adherent of any of the three great world religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, you might share common ideas of which places are sacred. If you were a member of a radical sect of any of those religions, you might consider the purportedly sacred places of the other two to be profane. Secular persons or those with religious or spiritual views differing from those of the big three religions might consider all places everywhere sacred, or only certain places, based on such widely varying and even conflicting criteria that the word "sacred" can have no functional meaning for this question. Even if one were to be specific and ask, "How many sacred places are there, according to Islam?" it would be very difficult to give an exact answer, as varying sectarian belief would differ on which sites are sacred. This would apply to any religion, not just the big three religions. The only meaningful operational definition of "sacred" is "whatever you personally, or you and your co-believers as a group deem sacred". Unfortunately, using that definition, the question itself becomes one that only you personally, or you and your co-believers as a group, can answer for yourselves: "How many places in the world do I/we deem sacred?"
