COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Whose rock is enshrined inside the golden Dome of

Jerusalem? The rock of Moses or of Muhammad? Kanan

Makiya gathers together the stories, legends, and beliefs that

define the Rock12the place where Adam landed in his fall from

Paradise and where Abraham attempted to sacrifice his firstborn

where Solomon17s Temple stood and where Jesus

preached the rock from which Muhammad ascended to

heaven12and transforms them into a narrative of novelistic

depth and drama. This brilliantly imagined, historically based

account of the building of the Dome of the Rock reconstructs

the paths of the actual individuals whose spiritual journeys

revolved around the seventh-century lore of the Rock. The

chief protagonist is Ka17b al-Ahbar, a learned Jew who

accepted the prophecy of Muhammad and who accompanied

the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab during his conquest of the Holy

City. The story is narrated by Ka17b17s son, Ishaq, who years

later is commissioned to design the first monument of Islam,

the Dome of the Rock. As he imagines the construction of the

Dome12and the complex reasons behind its creation12Makiya

gives us a meditation on the common terrain of the world17s

three great monotheistic religions and a remarkable

investigation into what the Rock symbolizes12beyond its

various stories and names, beyond even the three faiths at

whose heart it sits.
