Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem. The Temple Mount, known in Hebrew as Har haBáyit (Hebrew: הַר הַבַּיִת) or as Har haMoria (Hebrew: הַר הַמוריה) and in Arabic as the Haram al-Sharif (Arabic: الحرم القدسي الشريف‎, al-haram al-qudsī ash-sharīf), the Noble Sanctuary, is one of the most important religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has been used as a religious site for thousands of years. At least four religious traditions are known to have made use of the Temple Mount: Judaism, Christianity, Roman religion, and Islam. The present site is dominated by three monumental structures from the early Umayyad period: the al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock and the Dome of the Chain. Walls dating back to the late Byzantine and early Islamic periods cut through the flanks of the Mount. It can be ascended via four gates, with guard posts of Israeli police in the vicinity of each.
العربية: الحرم القدسي الشريف (العبرية:הר הבית - جبل الهيكل) هو الحرم الذي يضم المسجد الأقصى الذي جاء ذكره في القرآن الكريم في فاتحة سورة الإسراء، وكما يضم مسجد قبة الصخرة التي عرج منها الرسول محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام إلى السماء، بالإضافة إلى مساجد وزوايا، وبيمارستانات وقباب وسبلان، حتى أن البعض وصفه بمدينة صغيرة، أو بمجمع روحي ثقافي. يقع الحرم في الجهة الجنوبية الشرقية من مدينة القدس القديمة، ويأخذ شكل شبه المنحرف، طول ضلعه مئتان وواحد وثمانون متراً من الجنوب، وثلاثمئة وعشرة أمتار من الشمال، وأربعمائة واثنان وستون متراً من الشرق، وأربعمائة وواحد وتسعون متراً من الغرب. يعتبر الحرم القدسي أولى القبلتين وثالث الحرمين الشريفين في الإسلام، وإليه تشد الرحال في الإسلام كما في حديث النبي محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام "لا تشد الرحال إلا إلى ثلاث مساجد، المسجد الحرام، ومسجدي هذا (المسجد النبوي)، والمسجد الأقصى".
