| | The Noble sanctuary became a great centre for learning; scholars came from all over the world to worship al Al Aqsa, to study and to teach within its precincts. | | | Seeking to establish the principle of the Noble Sanctuary as a place of Jewish worship, extremist groups began performing Jewish prayer ceremonies in the area of the Sanctuary. | | | Not to the idol that the temple became, where prophets were slaughtered and the pure religion of Ibrahim al-Islam were rejected â“ but to the site where from the messenger of Allah, Muhammad, may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him, ascended through the heavens to his Lord. |

| | In answer to your question, the Dome of the Rock Mosque, or Qubbat as-Sakhra, as it is known in Arabic, is the awe-inspiring gold-domed structure in the center of the Noble Sanctuary. | | | As Muslims are aware, the reference in the verse is to the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) famous night journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and then on to the furthest limit of the heavens. | | | Nevertheless, the change in qiblah (direction of prayer) did not affect the significance and inviolability of the Noble Sanctuary in Islam. |

Haram is used to refer to the three most holy places in Islam -- Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem. | | | I looked at the transcript of Linda Gradstein's piece and it's true that she uses the English translation for the Hebrew Har Ha-Bayit and keeps the Arabic name used by Muslims -- which doesn't mean "Temple Mount" at all. | | | In Arabic, Haram means "forbidden, inviolable, or sacred." Sharif means noble or exalted -- hence "The Noble Enclosure" or "The Noble Sanctuary" or "Sacred Enclosure" or "Sacred Sanctuary." |
