"The Koran (also spelled Qur'an), the holy book of the Islamic religion, was written by followers of the prophet Muhammad (c. 570–632). From 610 until his death, Muhammad received visions from Allah (God). Muhammad's followers recorded these visions in what is now the Koran. Although parts of the 114 chapters of the Koran were recorded during his lifetime, the final version was compiled after his death. Muslims (the term for members of the Islamic religion) believe that the Koran is only a copy of an eternal book that is kept by Allah in heaven as his complete message to humankind. Half poetry and half prose, the Koran has a powerful effect on listeners when read aloud. Nonbelievers often demanded that Muhammad perform miracles, but he explained that he was an ordinary man—not God. According to Muhammad, the Koran was a miracle because of its perfect use of the Arabic language." enotes.com Muhammad supposedly was translated to heaven after his death from the very spot where the Jewish Temple used to stand before it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. So the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock on that spot. Now there is the ancient conflict about that site because the Jews want to build the Temple again! They have to build it on that spot. This spot is also by Jewish tradition the place where Abraham built the alter to offer his son Isaac to God as a sacrifice (which God prevented and supplied a ram to be offered in Isaac's place).
