Editing Temple in Jerusalem (section)

==Al-Aqsa and the Third Temple==
By the 7th century, the site had fallen into disrepair under Byzantine rule. After the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in the 7th century during the [[Rashidun Caliphate]], a mosque was built by caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (reigned 634–644 CE) who first cleared the site of debris and then erected a mihrab and simple mosque on the same site as the present mosque. This first mosque construction was known as Masjid al-'Umari. During the [[Umayyad]] caliphate, the caliph [[Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan]] ordered a renovation of the [[Islamic]] mosque, constructing the [[Dome of the Rock]], on the Temple Mount. The mosque has stood on the mount since 691 CE; the [[Qibli Mosque|Jami Al-Aqsa]]. It has been renovated several times since, including during the Abbasid, Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman eras.<ref name="ia">{{cite web |title=Aqsa Mosque – Discover Islamic Art – Virtual Museum |url=https://islamicart.museumwnf.org/database_item.php?id=monument;ISL;pa;Mon01;3;en |access-date=1 September 2023 |website=islamicart.museumwnf.org}}</ref>
