Abd al-Malik and the Dome of the Rock: A Further Examination of the Muslim Sources
Book •
Amikam Elad's work investigates early Muslim narratives and epigraphic evidence concerning the construction of the Dome of the Rock and Abd al-Malik's involvement.
Elad critically assesses Islamic sources, comparing them with archaeological and epigraphic data to clarify the monument's chronology and ideological purposes.
The study discusses theological and political motives reflected in the Dome's inscriptions and architecture.
Elad situates the building within Umayyad statecraft and relations with other monotheistic communities in Jerusalem.
The work contributes to debates about the Dome's function as a pilgrimage site, victory monument, and statement of Islamic identity.
