“The Umayyad Dome of the Rock: A Sacred Space in Jerusalem and Its Development Under the Umayyad Dynasty”

Write an 8-page research paper about a sacred space in Jerusalem: Umayyad
Dome of The Rock, discussing
the early history of the site and its development under the Umayyads while
touching briefly on later contexts and modern implications, but the focus
should be on one era rather than its entire history from conception to the
present-day!!!
Must construct a thesis about this topic. Italicize the thesis
statement in your draft.
Do not discuss anything political!
This is solely about the early history of the site and how it developed,
nothing political.
Resources: I attached a few
resources, but feel free to use even more resources, there should be 8
secondary resources, and 2 primary resources such as the bible, etc. Use
the following resources to help you develop your research: Write an entire
bibliography in MLA format adding to the ones I attached.
Make sure you also use this resource:
Ibn Kathir, Ismail ibn Umar. Al-Bidayah wa-n-Nihayah (The Beginning
and the End). Vol. 7. Beirut: Dar al-Kotob al-Ilmiyah, 2012. Print. 
In-text citation!! and also use primary sources like the bible, and use the resources I attached, as well as Karen Armstrong’ s paper, etc.
