Also the Dome of the Rock was created as a money making tourist attraction by a caliph to appease his restless court. The legend of Mohammad’s accession was begun to attract tourists.

But after awhile, the fun became boring, so the caliph moved the court back to the original capital in Amman, Jordan, leaving the small village to the Jewish goat herders who lived there.

As for Mohammad, he ascended in some long forgotten place when assassins caught up to him.

Could be wrong, but as I understand it Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the koran.

Amazing how centuries of invasion and destruction by Muslims is never talked about and if it is you are a racist
