Islamic shrine in Jerusalem dating from the 7th century AD that surrounds a great rock altar (an outcrop of rock) that was part of Solomon's Temple of Jerusalem. According to Muslim and Jewish tradition, the rock is also where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac, and the place from which, in Muslim tradition, Muhammad ascended to heaven on his Night Journey. It is situated, with the al-Aqsa mosque, in Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount).
