Did 'Abd al-Malik Build Dome Of The Rock To Divert The Hajj From Makkah? `Abd al-`Aziz, who could never have given his consent to such a flagrant break with the Qu'ranic commandment of the Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, and according to all we know, `Abd al-Malik himself was an orthodox and observant Muslim.

Al-Ya`qubi states that `Abd al-Malik, in his attempt to stop the Syrians from going to the Hajj during the conflict with Ibn al-Zubayr, quoted al-Zuhri reporting a tradition which substitutes for the Hajj to al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and tawaf around the Rock. www.islamic-awareness.org /History/Islam/Dome_Of_The_Rock/hajjdome.html   (3441 words)

Friends of Al-Aqsa Finally, it is argued that had 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan wanted to replace Makkah as a place of pilgrimage he would have chosen a type of structure similar in plan to that of the Ka'ba.
