Sulayman's (as)
                     Temple


           According to some
                records, after
            Solomon’s Temple
           was destroyed, the
         only wall of the tem-
         ple that remained was
              turned into the
          "Wailing Wall" by the
          Jews. After conquer-
          ing Jerusalem during
          the seventh century,
          the Muslims built the
         Mosque of ‘Umar and
         the Dome of the Rock
            where the temple
         once stood. Jerusalem
         still retains this. In the
         picture above is seen
           Dome of the Rock.
