Dome of the Prophet, Islamic dome in Temple Mount, Jerusalem, Israel
The Dome of the Prophet stands on eight gray marble columns with pointed arches decorated in red, black, and white stones near the Dome of the Rock.
Following its destruction during the Crusades, Muhammad Bek, Ottoman Governor of Jerusalem, rebuilt the current structure in 1539 under Sultan Suleiman's reign.
The white marble mihrab embedded in the floor directs Muslim believers toward Mecca and maintains Islamic architectural traditions without human or animal representations.
Visitors access the dome through the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, with an oil lamp illuminating the structure each night according to Ottoman endowment documents.
The structure marks the location where Islamic tradition states Muhammad led former prophets and angels in prayer before ascending to Heaven.
