There is no harm in loving Al-Aqsa Mosque more than others, provided one does not believe in its superiority over the Kaaba. For the Sacred Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Haram) is the best of mosques, followed by the Prophet's Mosque (Al-Masjid An-Nabawi), and then Al-Aqsa. Visiting these three mosques has been legislated. And there is no harm in loving that which is lesser in virtue more than others, as evidenced by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, supplicating for love of Medina like his love for Mecca or even stronger, despite his knowledge that Mecca is the most beloved land to Allah.
