- See PIC FH/3831and The Holy City, 1949. "Within the mosque the summit of Mount Moriah lies like a brown uncut gem in its glittering setting of mosaics and marble. The dull glow from windows remarkable for their beauty of colour and tracery of design produces a pleasant, harmonious, yet overawing effect. There on the Sakhra, if we are to believe tradition, Abraham was about to offer up Isaac; and there, too, was the threshing floor of Asraunah the Jebusite; here David offered up sacrifice and here stood the altar of the temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel, and Herod. This is where Mohammed prayed and passed heavenward on his mysterious steed, El Burak. When the Crusaders converted the Dome of the Rock into their Templum Domini they place their high altar on the Sakhra".
