اهتمام عمر بن الخطاب بموقع هيكل داود في القدس حقيقة أم أسطورة

الملخص EN

This study is an attempt to examine the Islamic and non-Islamic available historical narratives related to the Islamic conquest of Jerusalem in 16 A.H\ 637 A.D which claimed an interest by Caliph Umar Ibn Al-Khattab about the location of Mihrab or David’s Temple.

In other words, it is an attempt to give a scientific explanation regarding the total silence of the early Islamic narratives regarding the long texts and explanations reported by recent sources.

Thus, the study will attempt to answer the main question in this study, i.e: is it really true that Caliph Umar paid great attention to find the location of David’s Temple and did he construct or plan to constract a mosque (Al-Aqsa) in its place or that is not more than legends produced in later circunstances that don’t hold any kind of reality.
