Non-existent Mosque in Jerusalem? What does Mosque / Masjid mean?

Non-existent Mosque in Jerusalem? What does Mosque / Masjid mean?

17:1 Exalted is the One Who took His servant by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, which its surroundings We blessed, that We may show him of Our Signs. Indeed, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

(The Arabic word “masjid” (mosque) means “place of prostration”, regardless of the religion, and whether there is a building or not. So, a masjid can be any designated place that is fit for prostration)(Allah knows best)

7:137 And We made inheritors, the people who were considered weak - the eastern (parts) of the land and the western (parts) of it, which We blessed. And the best word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because they were patient. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people used to make, and what they used to erect.

(A land can be a blessed land, regardless of the presence or absence of a building)(Allah knows best)

20:12 Indeed, I Am your Lord, so remove your shoes. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

18:21 And similarly, We made known about them that they might know that the Promise of Allah is true, and that there is no doubt about the Hour. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord knows best about them." Said those who prevailed in their matter, "Surely, we will take over them a place of prostration (masjidan)."

(The root of “masjidan” is “Siin-Jiim-Dal”, and it means “prostrate, etc.”, while “ma” is the prefix, and it means “place”. So, it doesn’t imply or mention any building)(Allah knows best)

7:29 Say, "My Lord has ordered justice, and set your faces at every masjid (masjidin) and invoke Him (being) sincere to Him in religion. As He originated you, (so) will you return."

7:11 And We certainly created you, then We fashioned you. Then We said to the Angels, "Prostrate (us’judu) to Adam," So they prostrated (fasajadu), except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated (l-sajidina).
