No. Muslims hold that God has shifted his focus away from the Jewish people and given his love to the Muslims. As a result of this kindness, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock occupy the Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount). The construction of the Third Temple is not necessary to bring upon the End of Days.
Yes. The buildings meant for prayer by the Muslims are called Mosques, Masjid.
no your concept is completely wrong. Somanath Temple was destroyed by invaders who were muslims.
Muslims call the Temple Mount the Haram ash-Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary. They believe it is the "launching pad" from which Mohammed made his first trip to heaven. The thing with the gold roof is the Dome of the Rock which was built on top of the stone.
While it is true that Muslims generally do not destroy Non-Islamic Religious buildings, quite a number of them have been destroyed or converted into mosques. Mughal King Aurangzeb is well-known in India for destroying major Hindu Temples such as the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Kesava Deo temple, and Somnath temple.
What you termed as "the old temple" in Mecca is not really a temple. It is regarded as the House of Allah where Muslims face when they pray to Allah. It is called the "Kaabah". Muslims all over the world will face towards the 'Kaabah' when they perform their prayers. Muslims also circle the Kaabah seven times anticlockwise when the perform the ritual 'Tawaf' during the Hajj season as one of the seven mandatory acts of the Total Hajj Pilgrimage.
Abraham did not build anything specifically for the Muslims. However, Abraham built the Ka'aba which currently serves as the Qibla or Direction of Prayer for Muslims.
Bethlehem, Calvary and Jerusalem are holy to Christians. The temple mount which is the base where the temple of Solomon used to stand is holy to Jewish people and for some reason the same spot is called holy by muslims because muslims built a mosque where the temple of Solomon used to be.
His love for God caused him to build the Temple that used to be at the top of the temple mount on the land over the wailing wall in Israel but the temple was knocked down and Muslims built on top of it.
Both groups claim that area.
