HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - ALL MAJOR RELIGIONS WANT TO HOLD/OWN THIS SITE IN JERUSALEM. The Dome of the Rock (Arabic: مسجد قبة الصخرة‎, : Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah, Hebrew: כיפת הסלע‎, : Kipat Hasela) is an Islamic shrine also known as "Bait-ul-Muqaddas (Noble Sanctuary)", and major landmark located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The site's significance stems from the religious beliefs regarding the rock, known as the Foundation Stone, at its heart. The Dome of the Rock, being among a complex of buildings on the Temple Mount (the other principal building being the Al-Aqsa Mosque), is one of the holiest sites in Sunni Islam following Mecca and Medina. Its significance stems from the religious beliefs regarding the rock at its heart. According to Sunni Islamic tradition, the rock is the spot from which Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel. Further, Muhammad was taken here by Gabriel to pray with Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Christ. An important distinction is that this is to Islam what the Transfiguration of Jesus is to Christians, a fulfillment of scripture. After Muhammad's return, he called all that would believe him to join with him and be Muslim. It was at this juncture that Islam came into existence. Jews pray towards the Foundation Stone. Jews have traditionally regarded the location of the stone as the holiest spot on Earth, the site of the Holy of Holies.
