SERAMBINEWS.COM – Inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex there is a Stone Dome or known as Qubbat al-Sakhrah in Hebrew, considered a masterpiece of Islamic architecture.
The Dome of the Rock or The Dome of The Rock is a 7th century building located in the center of the complex Masjid Al-Aqsa in the Old City of Jerusalem.
The Dome of the Rock is an octagonal shape with a gold domed. The Al-Aqsa Mosque was built during the Second Slander by Caliph Abd al-Malik between 687 and 691 on the site of the Roman temple Jupiter Capitolinus.
Reported from aqsainstitute.com on Saturday (15/5/2021), in addition to the Stone Dome, in the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex there is also a Sakhrah, a stone located in the middle of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, precisely in the Kubbah Ash-Sakhrah Mosque.
This stone became the footing of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. when about to make mi’raj to the seventh heaven in the events of Isra and Mi’raj.
It is located at an altitude of 1.5 meters from the ground and has an irregular shape.
Quoting the article reported by aqsainstitute.com with the title “Various Virtues of Ash-Sakhrah, the Heart of the Al-Aqsa Mosque” which is called the heart of Al-Aqsa, the Shakhrah has various special positions which are explained in various arguments, including:
First, to be the place where the trumpet is blown
And hear (the call) on the day when the caller (angels) will call from a near place. (Qaaf: 41)
The commentators interpret that what is meant by ‘Caller’ is the Angel Israfil, while the meaning of ‘place near’ is Shakhrah in Jerusalem.
