Dome of the Rock
Dome of the Rock (Qubbat as-Sakhrah) is the most famous Islamic site in Jerusalem and is an impressive, beautiful edifice that can be seen from all over Jerusalem. It is the crowning glory of the Haram es-Sharif ("Noble Sanctuary"), or Temple Mount.
The Dome of the Rock is not a mosque, but a Muslim shrine and is built over a sacred stone. This stone is believed to be the place from which the Prophet Muhammad ascended into heaven during his Night Journey to heaven.
