On the mosque floor rests a huge ancient slab, the Rock itself, on which Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac (but was given a last-minute reprieve by an angel) and from which the prophet Mohammed roseto Heaven during his dream-visit to Jeru?γalem.
The rock on which Abraham was ordered to sacrifice his son now resides on the floor of the mosque.
The rock where Abraham was ordered to sacrifice his son is the stuff of legend, and no one claims to know where it is today.
