How is Jerusalem Mecca and Medina Important to the Islamic people?

Mecca is important to Islam because it is where the Kabbah is located. The Kabbah is the construct which Muslims pray towards and have to visit when performing their Hajj Migration. It's also where the Prophet Muhammed is from. Medina is important because it is the first city which pledged their allegiance to Muhammed, and gave Muhammed refuge when he had to escape from Mecca due to persecution- and therefore it was the first Islamic State (the Islamic calendar starts when Muhammed journeyed to Mecca). Jerusalem is important because other Islamic prophets like Abraham, Jesus, Moses are connected with Jerusalem (yes they are the same biblical ones - Islam considers itself an extension of judaiochristiandom). Moreover, its important because that is where the Prophet visited during his ascension to Heaven (he visited heaven according to Islamic theology and stopped at Jerusalem). Finally, Jerusalem was the direction of prayer for the Muslims initially when the Kabbah was full of idols.
