The Dome of the Rock or the Dome of the Rock, sometimes called the Mosque of Omar, is a sanctuary built at the end of the 7th century on the orders of the Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan2 on the Temple Mount. It forms part of the Haram al-Sharif the site that also includes the al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem.

Completed in the year 691 or in the second part of the year 692Note 2 (year 72 of the Hegira), its dome was rebuilt in 1022 and renovated in 1089, 1318, 1448, 1830, 1874, 1962 and then completely in 1994. During this last restoration, copper plates were covered with a thin layer of nickel and gold3.

The building derives from models of Byzantine architecture, with a Sassanid Persian influence. Although we know the names of the people who supervised its construction (Raja ibn Haywa, Yazid ibn Sallam and Sahaba4), we do not know the name of its architect. The tiles that cover it were installed by Suleiman I in 1545-1552; some of them feature suras that reject the Christian trinity
