Abu Darda ra was in al-quds and he wrote to his close friend Salman al-Farsi ra asking him to come to the 'Holy Land' (Salman was in persia waging jihad fee sabeelililaah) to which Salman ra replied..

'It is not the land which makes one holy, but his actions'

this is one of the many reasons for my signature (eng one)...
