Christianity, Islam and the Temple

Wall of Lamentations, the containment wall of the esplanade of the Temple revered as the last home of the divine presence (shejina)
Jerusalem is not just a sanctuary for Christians and Jews, the Muslims worship, after Mecca and Medina as holy city of Islam, since according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad in a 'night journey' as a dream or a vision , ascended to heaven on the winged mare Burak from Jerusalem, but it is a given that the Koran, in Sura 17 we find the story, not the name of any city. This occurred in a revered place also considered holy by Jews, the Haram al-Sharif ach on the hill of Moria.


David erected on a rock worn ara. Salomon built in the same place, around the year 960 a. C., the first Jewish temple. Just in this place the Arab raised an impressive monument to the ascension of Muhammad, the Dome of the Rock. The Dome of the Rock never served as a mosque, as they say many travel guides. It is also used as the false name "Omar Mosque". The building of the dome is always considered a golden chest to save the Holy Rock, never took place in the acts of worship. For this purpose it was built in the southeastern corner, the Al-Aqsa. Eight die in a few steps that lead from arcades all sides to the top of the Rock Mosque. Muslims call these arcades "mavazin" balances. According to Islamic legend, the day of reckoning will tend to bristle a horse from the "balance" the Mount of Olives. All must be raised through on it. Who has committed injustice fall to eternal perdition.
A guide inside the Mosque of the Rock, memories of riding the ascension of Muhammad: the archangel Gabriel in the rock record a fingerprint, the winged horse, at the time of jumping, I leave the imprint of one of their helmets . A hole under the rock recalls the turban of the prophet, who, when standing up after prayers had been beaten against the stone if it had not been softened in that instant.
