According to the Muslim faith, on the Day of Judgment the Dome of the Rock built in Jerusalem under the Umayyads in the late 1st / 7th century, will serve as the site chosen by the Prophet Muhammad for the Resurrection of the Faithful. The Prophet named it the sacred site, as it was from here He ascended to the heavens (
Mi'raj) on the night of his nocturnal journey from Mecca to Jerusalem
(Isra'), and He repeatedly encouraged the Muslim faithful to revere and visit the Dome of the Rock alongside Mecca and
Medina.
