Mosque of Omar (Jerusalem) [Canvas]

Mosque of Omar (Jerusalem)

The Mosque of Omar (Masjid Umar) in Jerusalem, located in Al-Aqsa compound, was built in 638 CE by Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab to commemorate his peaceful acceptance of the city’s surrender from Byzantine Patriarch Sophronius. The original modest structure, marking the spot where Umar prayed to avoid setting a precedent for Muslim worship inside churches, was rebuilt in its current form in 1193 by Ayyubid ruler Al-Afdal ibn Salah ad-Din (son of Saladin) after the Crusader period. Featuring classic early Islamic architecture with a slender minaret added in 1465, white stone walls, and a simple mihrab, it remains an active waqf-administered mosque under Jordanian custodianship. Positioned at the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, it symbolizes interfaith respect and Islamic historical presence amid the city’s layered sacred landscape.
