I have been to Israel on many occasions and without question, one of the most impressive architectural sites is what is known as the Dome of the Rock. It is the masterpiece of Islamic architecture. It was erected in 691 A.D. to enshrine the rock where traditionally it has been held that Abraham sacrificed Isaac. To this day it is probably the most distinctive and beautiful monument in all of Jerusalem. If you look carefully, you'll notice the geometry of a dome supported by an octagon shaped building. It is meant to symbolize the transition from earth to heaven, but the building also is an Islamic symbol stating that Islam is the supreme and only true religion and worships the only true god. Enshrined in one of the Koranic inscriptions which decorate this building are these words.
