<\/p>

In the 7th century, Arab forces conquered Jerusalem, marking the beginning of nearly a thousand years of Muslim rule and architectural and spiritual development.<\/p>

At the center of this gallery stands a detailed model of the Dome of the Rock, as it was built in the 7th century – providing the only way non-Muslims can view the building\u2019s interior today. An animated installation illustrates the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s Night Journey from Jerusalem, the defining event that established the city as the third holiest in Islam.<\/p>

A medieval minbar<\/strong> (pulpit) and mihrab<\/strong> (prayer niche) reflect the gallery\u2019s historical use as a mosque, traditionally linked to King David, during the Ayyubid and Ottoman periods. Interactive displays, artifacts, and videos further explore Islamic influence on Jerusalem and its spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide<\/p>
