Prayer in the Sacred Mosque is preferred over others by one hundred thousand prayers, followed by the Prophet's Mosque with one thousand prayers, and then prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is equivalent to one-fourth the merit of prayer in the Prophet's Mosque. It is encouraged to visit the Sacred House of Allah every five years for those who are able, and the more frequent the visits, the better. There is no evidence for specifying seven visits to the Kaaba and one visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
