Inscription

The inscription identifies the Dome of the rock as "Bayt al Maqdis" or "The Holy Temple", "Beit haMikdash" in Hebrew[4][5] This finding suggests that early Muslims were aware of the Temple Mount's significance as the site of the Jewish Temple and viewed the Dome of the Rock as a symbolic reestablishment of this sacred space.[6][7]

Text:[8]

In the name of Allah, the merciful God

This territory, Nuba, and all its boundaries

and its entire area, is an endowment to the Rock

of Bayt al-Maqdis and the al-Aqsa Mosque,

as it was dedicated by the Commander of the Faithful, ̒Umar iben al-Khattab

for the sake of Allah the Almighty[9]
