In 638, just a few years after the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, an army of his followers surrounded Jerusalem. The city Patriarch, Sophronius, handed over the city after a brief siege. There was only one condition; that the terms of their surrender be negotiated directly with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second Khalif of Islam.
'Umar entered Jerusalem on foot. There was no bloodshed. There were no massacres. Those who wanted to leave were allowed to, with all their possessions. Those who wanted to stay were guaranteed protection for their lives, their property, and their places of worship in the 'Umariyya Covenant.
The 'Umariyya Covenant
For the first time in its long history, Jerusalem had been spared a bloodbath.
It is said that 'Umar accompanied Sophronious to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and that he was offered a place to pray in it. 'Umar declined, fearing it might establish a precedent which would threaten the church's continued use as a Christian house of worship. He prayed instead to the south of the church, now the site of the Mosque of 'Umar in Jerusalem.
'Umar then asked to be taken to the site of Al Aqsa Mosque. Accompanied by hundreds of Muslims, he found the area covered in dust and debris and immediately initiated its clearing.
A huge timber mosque which held three thousand worshippers was erected on this site in the time of 'Umar, at the southernmost wall of the Noble Sanctuary.

selvästi, että Jerusalemissa ei ollut yhtään mos-
keijaa ennen sitä joten tarina Muhammedin yöllisestä
käynnistä "kaukaisessa moskeijassa" on satua!
Muhammedhan oli kuollut jo v 632.
Tuossa kertomuksessa on väärää tietoa Al Aqsa mos-
keijan rakentamisesta. Sitä ei rakennettu kalifi
Umarin aikana vaan kalifi al Malikin pojan aikana v 710 jKr!
before you comment.Because you understood everything wrong.

"In this regard, the leading Muslim scholar Ibn Taymiyah reports:
al-Masjid al-Aqsa is a name that refers to the whole area of the masjid that was built by Suleiman Peace Be Upon him."
aika heikkoa.
Suleiman eli vasta 1500-luvulla:
1520 tuli valtaan Turkin ottomaanihallitsija Suleiman Suuri, jonka erityisen mielenkiinnon kohteena oli rakentaa moskeijoita ja julkisia rakennuksia ympäri valtakuntaa. Hän määräsi Jerusalemin muurit korjattaviksi ja sai juutalaisten sympatioita puolelleen.
Daavidin(a.s.) pojasta. Raamatussa hänet tunnetaan nimellä Solomon.
