WHAT IS ?
Al-Aqsa Mosque (Arabic:المسجد الاقصى, IPA /æl'mæsʒɪd æl'ɑqsˁɑ/, ArAqsaMosque.ogg al-Masjid al-Aqsa (help·info) translit: "the Farthest Mosque"), also known as al-Aqsa, is an Islamic holy place in the Old City of Jerusalem. The mosque itself forms part of the al-Haram ash-Sharif or "Sacred Noble Sanctuary" (along with the Dome of the Rock), a site also known as the Temple Mount and considered the holiest site in Judaism, since it is where the Temple in Jerusalem once stood.[1][2] Widely considered as the third holiest site in Islam, Muslims believe that the prophet Muhammad was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey.[3] Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the seventeenth month after the emigration, when God ordered him to turn towards the Ka'aba.[4]

The al-Aqsa Mosque was originally a small prayer house built by the Rashidun caliph Umar, but was rebuilt and expanded by the Ummayad caliph Abd al-Malik and finished by his son al-Walid in 705 CE.[5] After an earthquake in 746, the mosque was completely destroyed and rebuilt by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 754, and again rebuilt by his successor al-Mahdi in 780. Another earthquake destroyed most of al-Aqsa in 1033, but two years later the Fatimid caliph Ali az-Zahir built another mosque which has stood to the present-day. During the periodic renovations undertaken, the various ruling dynasties of the Islamic Caliphate constructed additions to the mosque and its precincts, such as its dome, facade, its minbar, minarets and the interior structure.

Al-Aqsa Mosque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La mosquée al-Aqsa ou al-Aksa (en arabe : المسجد الاقصى, al-masjid al-Aqsa, le terme al-Aqsa étant généralement traduit en français par : « la plus lointaine » ) est une mosquée construite au VIIe siècle à Jérusalem (al-Quds) . Elle fait partie, avec le Dôme du Rocher, d'un ensemble de bâtiments religieux construit sur l'esplanade des mosquées. Il s'agit de la plus grande mosquée de Jérusalem, où cinq mille fidèles peuvent prier, le site dans sa totalité peut accueillir plusieurs centaines de milliers de personnes[1]. L'esplanade des mosquées (Haram al-Sharif) est le troisième lieu saint de l'islam, après La Mecque et Médine.

Un emplacement symbolique
La mosquée al-Aqsa est située sur un lieu très symbolique, puisqu'il s'agit, selon la tradition juive, de l'emplacement du temple de Salomon, reconstruit par Hérode au Ie siècle av. J.-C., avant d'être détruit en 70 par les Romains. Le mur des lamentations témoigne de ce passé, et certains éléments montrent que la mosquée fut construite sur les ruines du bâtiment annexe (le chanuyos) de l'ancien Temple[réf. nécessaire]. En effet, la mosquée semble avoir été édifiée sur une « une structure hérodienne en forme de basilique romaine classique »

Mardi 24 Novembre 2009 -- C’est dans la magnifique résidence Aghlan Paradise, située au cœur de la splendide palmeraie de Béni Izguène, que s’est ouvert, hier, l’atelier international sur la conservation préventive et l’entretien de l’architecture traditionnelle. Cet atelier, dont les travaux ont débuté hier et s’étaleront jusqu’au 25 novembre, et dont la thématique s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme Euromed Héritage financé par l’Union européenne, est co-organisé par le RMSU (unité de suivi et de soutien du programme), l’Office de protection de la vallée du M’zab (OPVM) et le ministère de la Culture, en étroite collaboration avec la chaire de l’Unesco. Des experts internationaux du bassin méditerranéen, notamment de France, de Belgique, d’Italie, d’Égypte, etc. sont présents à cette rencontre avec leurs homologues algériens ainsi que des architectes nationaux de plusieurs wilayas. Soulignons que la vallée du M’zab, classée en 1982 patrimoine mondial de l’humanité par l’Unesco, a été protégée et classée par les pouvoirs publics comme secteur sauvegardé par décret exécutif du 4 juin 2005.
