Fifth minaret for Al Aqsa Mosque
ABU DHABI — The Al Aqsa Mosque or Al Haram Al Sharif will have a fifth minaret which is to be built by Jordan's King Abdullah Ibn Al Hussain, it was announced here yesterday.
Speaking on the sidelines of a four-day Islamic conference, Dr Ahmed Holeil, Minister of Auqaf and Islamic Affairs in Jordan said the idea of building a fifth minaret was to depict the five pillars of Islam.
The fifth minaret will be built in an Islamic architecture to go in harmony with the already built four minarets. It will be built at the eastern wall.
The four existing minarets, built between 677 and 769 Hijri, are Bab Al Magharbeh, Al Selseleh, Al Ghawanmeh and Al Asbat. There are also several domes namely Al Selseleh, Al Mi'raj, Mehrab Al Nabi, Yousef, Sulaiman and Al Nahawy.
Al Haram Al Sharif represents the heart of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict because of its religious significance for Muslims and of the Jewish claims of their alleged Haykal (Temple of Solomon).
The congregational mosque was built in the time of Umar Ibn Al Khattab accommodating more than 5,000 worshippers.
Originally commissioned by Abdal Malik Ibn Marwan, the Umayyad Caliph who was the patron of the Dome of the Rock, the contemporary congregational mosque of Al Aqsa is a result of different stages of construction and renovations.
