premise: Temple Mount has nothing to do with an Abrahamic religion.
hypothesis: Temple Mount . It has been venerated as a holy site for thousands of years by Judaism , Christianity , and Islam . Since at least the first century CE , the site has been associated in Judaism with Mount Moriah ( הַר הַמוריה , Har HaMōriyā ) ; Mount Moriah is the name given by the Hebrew Bible to the location of Abraham 's binding of Isaac , this identification being perpetuated by Jewish and Christian tradition . It was to this end , proof of a biblical prophecy fulfilled and of Christianity 's victory over Judaism with the New Covenant , that early Christian pilgrims also visited the site . Revered as the Noble Sanctuary , the location of Muhammad 's journey to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven , the site is also associated with Jewish biblical prophets who are also venerated in Islam . In light of the dual claims of both Judaism and Islam , it is one of the most contested religious sites in the world .
