Dome of the Ascension

The Dome of the Ascension (Arabic: قبة المعراج / Qubbat al - Miraj ) is a detached Qubba ( dome ) connected to the ascension (mi ʿ Raj / miraj ) reminiscent of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is located northwest of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

It is not clear when the original dome was built, but it is believed that it either is a work from the period of the Umayyad or Abbasid, because they 903 of Ibn al- Fakih and 985 of al - Muqaddasi as one of the " two smaller domes " is mentioned. The other is the dome of the Prophet. However, today's cupola of the Assumption in 1200, was built by the Ayyubid governor of Jerusalem, Izz ad-Din al- Zanjili.

" It was built with the marks of his feet [= the Prophet ] in octagon 's the year of the Hegira 597 [ ... ], from a time when the Franks levied on the footsteps of the Rock of Christ claim. "
