Grade 7 - Second Semester

A visit to Al Aqsa Mosque

On 26th August 2012, I visited Al Aqsa-Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Here are some photos I took there..
I took this photo at night from my sisters house. On the horizon you can see the golden dome..

 
This is Al-Aqsa Mosque
 
 
This is the Dome of the Rock, It was built by the Ummayad Calliph Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan in AD 692. It rises 35 meters above the Noble Rock

 
In this photo you can see Al-Aqsa Mosque from the inside of The Dome of the Rock
 
 
This one was taken in the cave

 
From here , it is said that prophet Muhammad { peace be upon him } ascended to sky

 
Part of the dome from inside and here you can see the colourful tiles and the inscriptions from the Holy Quran..
