Peace ,
dear yasin the Iqsa Is not The dome of the rock.
The dome was bulit around 72 in the time of abd al-malik ibn marwan.
the Iqsa was bulit in a later time, maybe later than what most people think.
The building currently in existence is a result of different stages of construction and renovations. It is usually agreed upon that 'Abd al-Malik (685-705), the Umayyad Caliph who was the patron of the Dome of the Rock, started to reconstruct the mosque at the southern end of the precinct. This work was continued by his son and successors al-Walid I (709-715), who renovated and expanded the building and at this time called it Al-Aqsa Mosque, which means "the farthest mosque".

the dome of the rock was not intended to be a mousqe,because it has no Mehrab .
so why it was bulit?
