Al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is not only the golden Dome of the Rock, nor only the silver/grey-domed al-Muṣallā al-Qiblī. Al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is the entire sacred compound that encompasses both of these Muṣallā, along with everything within its surrounding walls. Every part of this blessed land is sacred. Every inch carries history, worship, and responsibility for this Ummah.
Muṣallā Qubbat al-Ṣakhrah (The Dome of the Rock)
Built during the reign of the Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān, it stands over the Blessed Rock, from which it is said the Prophet ﷺ ascended to the heavens on the Night Journey.
Al-Muṣallā al-Qiblī
The structure with the silver-grey dome at the front of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is known as al-Muṣallā al-Qiblī, as it stands nearest to the qiblah.
Al-Muṣallā al-Marwānī
Located beneath the south-eastern side of the sacred compound of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, al-Muṣallā al-Marwānī is one of its largest prayer spaces, capable of accommodating thousands of worshippers within the blessed grounds of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā.
Qubbat al-Silsilah (The Dome of the Chain)
Directly east of the Dome of the Rock is the Dome of the Chain, built during the reign of the Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān. It marks the exact centre of the al-Masjid al-Aqṣā sanctuary.
Al-Burāq Wall
The western wall of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, known as the al-Burāq Wall, is where the Prophet ﷺ tied al-Burāq on the Night Journey, and where the Prophets before him would tie their mounts.
Musallā al-Burāq
A prayer area located next to the al-Burāq Wall within the al-Masjid al-Aqṣā compound. It is said to mark the place where the Prophet ﷺ prayed after tying al-Burāq during the Night Journey.
