The Dome of the Rock is one of the most beautiful mosques of the Islamic world. It ranks in sanctity after that of the Kaibab in Mecca and the tomb of the Prophet in Medina. This is the place where Mohammed ascended to Ali. The dome i s made of plates of aluminum impregnated with gold which gleams in the brilliant sunshine. Beautiful inside and out. This site might also be where Abraham took Isaac to offer him there for a burnt offering. There is fighting over this site today. (Genesis 22:2)
