Islam

The holy land for Judaism is Israel, and the holy city is Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is the center of Judaism. It is important to Jews because it was the site of the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, in Genesis ch.22) and was later the seat of the Davidic Kings, when King David, Israel's greatest king, founded the dynasty that ruled Judah for much of its history, making Jerusalem the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel during his reign and that of his son, King Solomon.
Most importantly, it was the location of the First and Second Temples, where offerings were made to God and where His presence dwelt in the Holy of Holies (1 Kings ch.8) and was manifested in a number of miracles (Mishna, Avos ch.5).
Jerusalem is called the holy city by the prophets (Isaiah 52:1). It was where Jews would go three times a year to celebrate the holiest festivals (Deuteronomy ch.16). Even after the destruction of the Temple, the Temple Mount and adjacent Western ("Wailing") Wall, which still stands, is the holiest site in Judaism. It is hoped and prophesied (Ezekiel ch.40-44) that one day a third temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that the Messiah will come to it.

Jerusalem has become representative of the connection with the Divine. Jerusalem is also seen as the source of Divine Law, as demonstrated in many Jewish prayers: "Ki miTziyon tetze Torah udvar Hashem miYerushalayim - From Zion comes the Torah and the Word of God from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3).

Jerusalem is also representative of the Redemption of the Jewish people from their physical and spiritual exile, because this exile causes the melancholy that the Jewish people experience by being apart from God's presence. The Redemption, which Jews believe will be brought by the Messiah, will result in the Jewish people returning to Jerusalem.

According to ancient Hebrew tradition, Jerusalem is the site where God took the very earth from which Adam, the first man, was formed (midrash Rabbah 14:8). Read Genesis carefully; Adam was not created in the garden of Eden; he was taken there. Jerusalem, because it is the first place on Earth where the spirit of God dwelt, is considered a direct link to God.

Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion and Jerusalem has been its only holy site for over 3000 years. King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by invading Babylonians, and rebuilt at the same site (known as the Temple Mount) about 2500 years ago. It was then destroyed again when the Romans conquered Judea about 2000 years ago, killing a million Jews, and expelling and enslaving hundreds of thousands. All Jews who value their heritage feel ties to Jerusalem and the holy land, where so many of their people struggled for the freedom to practice Judaism. At the same time, Jews believe that all people should be welcome there, regardless of faith.

Jerusalem is the eternal Jewish city, and a symbol of a future time of peace. Jerusalem is also the focal point of prayer of the Jews. When they pray, wherever they are, they face towards Jerusalem (Talmud, Berakhot 30a), with love and longing. The sentiment is aptly expressed in Psalm 137: "By the waters of Babylon, there we sat and wept as we remembered Zion....If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its wisdom."

For thousands of years we remembered our exile and prayed for its end. Now at least we can do so from "up close."

Iran is an old country with more than 5000 years history. If you mean what is the God of Iran right now, Khodavad or Parvardgar is the answer which means Allah in Arabic

Some people with lack of knowledge about Iran, count Iran as a Islamic country which is completely wrong and we have other religions as well.

Muslims and Greeks differ especially in the fact that "Muslim" denotes a religious/spiritual commitment while "Greek" denotes a nationality. Thus, while "Muslims" can be found as citizens in many different nations, even of Greece, the term itself indicates values and views that are drawn from the religion of Islam, not from any particular nation.

However, historically, people in the Aegean used religion as an ethnic identifier. Those who were Muslim were said to be "Turks" regardless of whether they lived in what is typically considered Greece or Turkey and regardless of whether they actually spoke Turkish. Conversely, being a Greek Orthodox believer made one Greek by the same token. Once it is understand that the question is more properly asking what the difference is between Greeks and Turks, the question is much easier to answer.

The fundamental difference between Turks and Greeks is the historical reaction to the Ottoman Empire as an experience. The Turks see it as their historical empire and their birthright. In their view, it was a harbinger of peace, tolerance, and sophistication. The Greeks see it as the empire that destroyed the Byzantine Empire, reduced them to second-class status, stole their children through devşirme, and poached people from their religion.

There are other minor differences, such as:

• Today, Greeks speak Greek and Turks speak Turkish.
• Greeks eat pork and Turks do not, but most of the non-pork dishes are identical between the two groups.
• Greeks are predominantly Greek Orthodox Christians and Turks are predominantly Sunni Muslim.

Yes there is a Muslim country

Praying, per Islam, has two meanings:

• requesting Allah and asking Him for forgiveness, blessings, support, leading you to His right path, saving you from Hell fire, rewarding you by accepting you in His Paradise, saving you from any evil, forgiving your family and parents and rewarding them, blessing all Muslims and believers by his mercy and forgiveness, ... etc. The other meaning is:
• the ritual worship praying that is called in Arabic Salah or Salat.

During the ritual worship praying (Salah or Salat) Muslims are required to face the direction of Kaba (surrounded by Al-Masjid al-Haram), Mecca (or Makkah), or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; depending on how far he is from Kaba (in Mecca in the current country of Saudi Arabia). This direction of praying is called qiblah in Arabic and is determined per Allah (God in English) command in Quran.

Quran says:

???? ?????? ????????? ???????? ??? ?????????? ? ?????????????????? ???????? ?????????? ? ??????? ???????? ?????? ??????????? ?????????? ? ???????? ??? ??????? ????????? ??????????? ???????? ? ??????? ????????? ??????? ?????????? ????????????? ??????? ???????? ??? ?????????? ? ????? ???????? ????????? ?????? ??????????? ?????

Meaning English translation:

{ We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram (Kaba). And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do. (144)}
