My religious knowledge is rather limited but I do think that the Muslim claim to Jerusalem arises because it is believed to be where Muhammad descended into heaven. The veracity of their claim to the city however may be questionable as real fervency to own Jerusalem may have been the result of the Muslim General Salahadin who inspired a zeal to capture the city during the crusades.
