    Dome The first is the Islamic Dome of the Rock (c. 688-692 C.E.), located on Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

    1 The Dome of the Rock is a centrally planned building enclosing a rock which, according to Judeo-Christian tradition, is the site where Abraham was about to sacrifice his son Isaac. According to Islamic tradition, this is additionally the site of the Night Journey of the Prophet Mohammed, during which Mohammed, led by the Archangel Gabriel, ascended through the heavens to God. 2

    Minaret

    The first Minaret in Islam was in the corners of Amr Ben El- Aas' Mosque in El- Fustat in (52) Hijria / (673 ) of adobe on the shape of the temple's towers that existed at that time on the ground upon which the " Omawian " Mosque - was established.
    Mihrab

    Al-Tahir Ibn Achour said in his book: "Al-Tahrir Wal-Tanweer' "The first Mihrab in Islam was the one built in the Prophet's mosque (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), during the era of the caliph Al-Walid Ibn Abdul Malik and Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz was the Emir of the Medina at the time." Mihrabs first began appearing 8th-9th centuray and were copied from similar niches found in Coptic Christian churches but which pointed to Jerusalem.
