The opening as it read in 2025
Nuba inscription is an early Islamic text that was found in a mosque near Hebron. The inscription identifies the Dome of the rock as " Bayt al Maqdis " or "The Holy Temple", " Beit haMikdash " in Hebrew This finding suggests that early Muslims were aware of the Temple Mount's significance as the site of the Jewish Temple and viewed the Dome of the Rock as a symbolic reestablishment of this sacred space.
