The Qibla Debate: How the Dome of the Rock Redefined Islam
Om avsnittet
In this episode, we explore the fascinating story behind the Dome of the Rock, built in 691 CE by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan. But was it merely a monument, or did it serve a deeper political purpose? We dive into the qibla controversy, the competition with Mecca under Ibn al-Zubayr, and the architectural symbolism that claimed Jerusalem as a rival holy city. Discover the inscriptions inside the dome, the role of Byzantine craftsmen, and the legacy of this iconic structure that continues to shape Palestinian identity.
