The Dome of the Ascension ( , transliteration: Qubbat al-Miraj ) is a free-standing dome that commemorates the Islamic prophet Muhammad's ascension to heaven . It is located just north the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem . It is not clear when the original dome was built, but is assumed to have been either Ummayad or Abbasid work, because it is mentioned by Ibn al-Fakih in 903 CE and by al-Muqaddasi in 985 CE as being one of the "two minor domes"; the other being the Dome of the Prophet . However, the modern-day Dome of the Ascension was built by the Ayyubid governor of Jerusalem , Izz ad-Din az-Zanjili in 1200 from Crusader construction materials.
