the roofed mosque topped with a lead dome and located south of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is named after al-Qibli. As for calling it the mosque, because it is the main chapel where the Khatib stands in the mosque's Sala Sajjid), and it was once the place where people gathered at Friday prayers to hear the sermon before the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque was built with standard electric headphones, but it is still the main chapel for men enter the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque where the imam stands, and where the main mihrab and pulpit are located< / p>

an old mistake was made among Muslims when many of them thought that the golden-domed building (qiya Al-Sahra) was the blessed Al - Aqsa Mosque, so others - especially young people-wanted in good faith to correct the information, so they declared it the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and this is also a big mistake, as it is established that the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is wider and more comprehensive than any of these buildings, it includes the walls and the squares, schools and chapels inside . Harib, with a total area of about 144 dunums, as we indicated earlier.

the current construction of the tribal mosque dates back to the Umayyad era, where it was started by Caliph Abd . Al-Walid between the years 86-96 Ah / 705-714 ad, it was originally composed of 15 narrations, then it was restored after being exposed to earthquakes and many events that led to its cracking, and its corridors were shortened in the era of the Fatimid caliph Al-Zahir to enhance the religion of Allah to seven corridors only to be able to resist earthquakes. Nowadays, it consists of a large middle hallway, three corridors on each side, and it has a high internal dome made of wood, topped by the main external dome covered with lead panels. Its length is about 80 M, and its width is 55 m, with a very slight difference in length between its eastern side and its western side, and its area is about four dunums with 11 doors, and today it expands to about 5500 mosques.

the first to build on the site of the tribal mosque in Islam was the Prince of the faithful Omar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, at the level of the original floor of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which descends from the level of the floor of the tribal mosque towards the Valley. According to the famous narration that mentions that 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, when he wanted to build this chapel, asked Ka'b Al-Ahbar,' where do you think we should make the chapel?' He said: to the rock, the kisses of Moses and Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) come together, and Umar rejected this opinion and said: Allah and the Jewish God, Kaab, but we make his kiss his chest, as the messenger of Allaah made the kiss of our mosques, as narrated by not one of the historians such as Al-waqidi, al-Tabari, al-Alimi and others.

it is mentioned that there is a small mosque attached to the tribal mosque from the eastern side known today as the Omar Mosque, which is a small building consisting of one transverse Portico extending along the southern wall of the Al-Aqsa Mosque towards the East and adjacent to the eastern wall of the tribal mosque and is affiliated with it and opens with two doors inside the tribal mosque and another outside to the courtyard of the Marwani Chapel today. It was divided into two parts in 2000, one of which remained inside the tribal mosque as it is and the other (which contains the door leading to the courtyard of the Marwani chapel) turned into an emergency clinic serving in cases of attacks and dangers.

when the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem, they divided the tribal mosque into three sections: one of them was turned into offices, the other was turned into a residence for the Templars, and the third section was turned into a church. This remained the case until Saladin liberated the city and restored the mosque in 538 Ah - 1187 ad. It was restored in several subsequent periods, such as the Mamluk and Ottoman eras, and at the beginning of the British occupation era. After the fall of Jerusalem to the Zionist occupation army, the mosque was subjected to hundreds of attacks, the worst of which was the famous fire in 1389/6/8 Ah.

1969/8/2 by the Australian Dennis Michael Rohan, the Nur al-Din Zenki pulpit, which Nur al-Din had ordered to be built during the Crusaders ' control of Jerusalem, burned down then, and Salah al-Din carried it to Al-Aqsa after liberation, the fire also extended to most of the three eastern arcades of it, in addition to its wooden roof in addition to the excavation works that threaten its foundations as it extends under most of the southern wall of the entire blessed Al-Aqsa and under the foundations of the whole tribal mosque
