Caliph Umar lifted the ban that forbade Jews from entering Jerusalem. Jews gradually began to return. Caliph Umar cleaned up the Temple Mount, which had been used by the Roman Christians as a garbage dump. Later, the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock on the very site where the Jewish Temple once stood.
