摘要:Salah Al-Din Minbar (pulpit) has a distinguished value in Islamic art, which is originated from its historical value of being constructed 800 years ago representing a symbol of dignified historical era; and to its political value as this Minbar had formed an emotional spur during the Crusades; and above all it is considered as one of the most beautiful and finest pieces of Islamic decoration art. After a devastating arson blaze nothing was left of the Minbar except some wooden pieces and few photographs that had been taken at previous periods of time. The need to rebuild and renovate Salah Al-Din Minbar of the Aqsa Mosque as similar to the original Minbar has arisen and met the Jordanian Royal mandate. This paper documents reconstructing the model Minbar to be exactly like the original one which was a sole job until the time, especially because of the decorations' diversity and the need to adopt the traditional craft techniques which require deliberate synthesized studies to prepare the drawings and construct the Minbar. The model Minbar was totally completed within 14 years.
