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.
