The Sanctuary of Abraham (Al-Haram Al-Ibrahimi) , Hebron (Al- Khalil).
The Haram al-Ibrahimi is associated with the father of the prophets Ibrahim- PBUH (Abraham),
And is considered to be the fourth most important religious site in Islam (after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem),
And the second holiest place after the Aqsa Masjid in Palestine.
The Haram al-Ibrahimi consists of a large building... 
With a rectangular floor plan of approximately 60 m x 34 m.
The building is surrounded by a great wall built from large blocks of fine cut stone.
The Haram has two minarets dating to the Mamluk period.
The height of each of them is around 15 m from the surface of the building.
The interior of the building includes a congregational masjid and an open courtyard, as well as arcades, rooms, corridors, domes, and a grotto (known as "al-Ghar"), in addition to a series of graves which were designated for the Prophets Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their wives, (Peace be upon them all).
After the Franks destroyed the Masjid that was originally on the site in AH 492 / AD 1099, they transformed it into a church.
Salah al-Din Ayyubi (Saladin) reclaimed the city of Hebron in AH 583 / AD 1187, 
The church was transformed back to its original state, into a Masjid.
Dear MuzLims...
Now some changes has happened...
 And the Masjid has a new look!
Please take a few moments and have a look...
AT THE NEW LOOK!
The Messenger of Allah  said: "It is near that the nations will call one another against you just as the eaters call one another to their dishes." Somebody asked: "Is this because we will be few in numbers that day?" He said: "Nay, but that day you shall be numerous, but you will be like the foam of the sea, and Allah will take the fear of you away from your enemies and will place weakness into your hearts." Somebody asked: "What is this weakness?" He said: "The love of the world and the dislike of death." (Abu Dawud)
