第三圣殿
在公元70年第二圣殿被毁之后，犹太教徒希望能在圣殿山上建造第三圣殿（希伯来文：בית המקדש השלישי，拉丁化希伯来文：Beit haMikdash haShlishi）。祈祷神对此事的应允是犹太教每日三次的祷告中正式的一部分。尽管圣殿尚未建成，其概念和犹太人对其建立的渴望在犹太教（尤其是正统犹太教）中仍是神圣的。《塔纳赫》中记载了先知对第三圣殿建立的预言，称其会在弥赛亚时代被实现。
圣殿的平面图记载于《以西结书》第40章至第47章中（书中记载的圣殿与第一、第二圣殿在在外观、占地面积等方面皆不相同，因此被认为是对未来的第三圣殿的描写）。另外，在库姆兰发现的死海古卷的圣殿卷轴中亦有类似记载。
穆斯林的观点
许多穆斯林，以生活在阿拉伯国家的穆斯林为主，视第三圣殿的修建为对伊斯兰教的公然冒犯。因为圣殿山上已有阿克萨清真寺和圆顶清真寺存在，而犹太人则认为阿克萨清真寺立于原圣殿的废墟上。今天大部分穆斯林将这一地区视为圣地，并坚持认为自己对这一地区拥有主权。[1][2]
