It is very
close to the Masjid Al Aqsa(The Dome of Rock) in
Jerusalem. Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W) ascended to
heaven from the place where Masjid Al Aqsa is built. The
rock is said to have wanted to follow the prophet.
Ten years after the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) received his first
revelation, he made a miraculous night journey from Mecca to
Jerusalem and to the Seven Heavens on a white flying horse
called Al-Buraq El-Sharif. During his interval in Jerusalem, the
Prophet stopped to pray at the rock (now covered by the golden
Dome), and was given the commandment to pray five times a
day.
Today, Muslims throughout the World use Mecca as the direction of prayers (Qibla). However,
for 16½ months following the Prophet Mohammad's miraculous journey, Jerusalem was the
Qibla.
The outer dome was covered with Lead in 1985 replacing the
Aluminum dome of 1964 in order to restore it to its original
cover.
The inner dome, decorated with stucco work, dates back to the
13th century.

Remember Masjid'
Because: Islamic organization has found that
mosque = mosquitoes
Don't write ' Mecca ' Write always correctly
' Makkah'
Because: Mecca = house of wines
Don't write ' Moh'd'. Write always
completely as ' Muhammad'
Because: Moh'd = the dog with big mouth.
