An Overview of the Landmark:
At Al-Isra’a and Mi’raj night, prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, was riding his animal, which name is Buraq, and then reached this wall and tied up AlBuraq to it, before he ascends to the skies, and that’s how the wall got its name. The wall of Al-Buraq borders Al-Aqsa Mosque from the west, from an integral part of Al-Aqsa. It is 50 meters long and 20 meters high.

Jews and some Christians claim that this wall is a remaining part of the temple (AlHaikal) that dates back to the time of prophet Suleiman, and they call it the Wailing Wall, where they stand to cry over their lost reign, waiting for the opportunity to attack Al Aqsa and rebuild their Haikal,
The truth is that Al-Aqsa Mosque was built before the coming of prophet Suleiman and that Suleiman rebuilt it as a renewal of a house devoted to the worship Allah, because he is a prophet of Allah, and he would never build or renovate a temple, or any place in which Allah is not the One who is worshipped.
After the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967, the Jews destroyed the Islamic monuments that were on the wall.
