The Al-Aqsa Mosque was originally a small prayer house built by the Rashidun caliph Umar, but was rebuilt and expanded by theUmmayad caliph Abd al-Malik and finished by his son al-Walid in 705 CE.[6] After an earthquake in 746, the mosque was completely destroyed and rebuilt by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 754, and again rebuilt by his successor al-Mahdi in 780. Another earthquake destroyed most of al-Aqsa in 1033, but two years later the Fatimid caliph Ali az-Zahir built another mosque which has stood to the present-day. During the periodic renovations undertaken, the various ruling dynasties of the Islamic Caliphate constructed additions to the mosque and its precincts, such as its dome, facade, its minbar, minarets and the interior structure. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they used the mosque as a palace and church, but its function as a mosque was restored after its recapture by Saladin Ayubi. More renovations, repairs and additions were undertaken in the later centuries by the Ayyubids, Mamluks, the Supreme Muslim Council, and Jordan. Today, the Old City is under Israeli sovereignty, but the mosque remains under the administration of the Palestinian-led Islamic.

Hazrat Yunus (a.s.)
After much admonishment, Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) finally decided to leave his nation. After leaving his tribe Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) negotiated the path of wilderness and reached the bank of the river. He saw some people in a boat ready to leave. He requested them to let Him accompany them. They accepted his request since he displayed greatness, grandeur and majesty.
When the boat reached in the middle of the river, a storm began brewing. The waves began crashing into the boat causing it to sink. The passengers decided that one of them would have to be thrown in the water to stabilise the boat. So they threw lots and the lots fell on Hazrat Yunus (a.s.). However, considering the greatness and majesty of Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) the passengers threw the lots once again. But thrice in succession the lots fell on Hazrat Yunus (a.s.), so in the end they were compelled to throw Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) into the water.
Ignoring the preferable deed (Tark-e-Aula)
Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) welcomed the decision without protest and jumped into the river. It then passed his mind that he may have committed Tarke-Aula, by leaving his nation and withdrawing from them without waiting for Allah's permission, while He was chosen to be their guide. So God had involved him in this difficulty. A huge fish was ordered to swallow Hazrat Yunus (a.s.). The fish swallowed him in accordance with the divine order. Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) passed the days and nights in the belly of the fish. The difficulties of this peculiar prison was distressing for Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) and he started praying to God in his grief and agony.
'There is no God but you, you are pure (from any defect) surely I am from the oppressors.'
God Almighty heard his prayers, mention of which we find in Quran.
'Then we accepted his prayers and gave him freedom from difficulty and this is the manner in whose we free the believers.'
Allah, Glorified be He, ordered the fish to spit out Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) at the shore. The fish left him at the bank of the river. Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) was unable to bear the heat of the sun after such a prolonged period in the stomach of the fish. So Allah, the High, grew a pumpkin tree around the riverbank, so that he could rest beneath its shade and eat from its fruit.
Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) regained his health within a few days. Allah revealed unto him that he should return to his nation since they had accepted His divinity after Yunus' (a.s.) departure. Hazrat Yunus (a.s.) returned to his tribe and was surprised to find that his nation had abandoned idol worship altogether and had professed in Allah's Unity (Tauheed). His nation welcomed him and he (a.s.) resumed his leadership (guidance) over the people.
