Abd al-Malik knew that to maintain his empire and his rule, he must find a way to reunite the people.
With the murder of Husayn, direct descendent of the Prophet, Abd al-Maliks predecessor Yazid had sparked the bloodiest unrest yet among the Arabs (Makiya 188) and the depravity of the Umayyad House had become the excuse by which different factions were vying for power (189).
Surely Abd al-Malik was making a deliberate statement to the otherwise Christian establishment that Islam was there to stay (Bloom and Blair 68).

The Secret key to the Dome of the Rock

Abd al-Malik was appealing exclusively to Christians by emphasizing this Christian holy spot through Muslim eyes, NOT to Jews who did not yet accept Jesus as the Messiah as did Muslims and Christians.
Why the Dome of the Rock Was Built by Abd al-Malik in 692 A.D. During the first hundred years of Muslim rule in Jerusalem (since more than 90% of the population was Christian) was one of conciliation and ecumenism between Muslims and Christians and between Muslims and Jews.
And in attempting to wean the Christians from their former beliefs unto the new Islam, Abd al-Malik used every architectural artifice and symbolic nuance he knew in a brilliant maneuver to woo the Christians of Jerusalem to accept Islam in a non-offensive way.

Abdul Malik Bin Marwan

For three years 'Abd al-Malik made no further attempt to interfere in Iraq but bided his time as the various groups in Iraq exhausted themselves in internecine warfare.
'Abd al-Malik spent the first half of his life with his father, Marwan ibn al-Hakam, fourth Umayyad caliph, in Medina, where he received religious instruction and developed friendly relations with the pious circles of that city that were to stand him in good stead in his later life.
Under 'Abd al-Malik, the conquest of North Africa was resumed in 688 or 689.

Did 'Abd al-Malik Build Dome Of The Rock To Divert The Hajj From Makkah?

By violating so basic a commandment, `Abd al-Malik would have marked himself as kafir, against whom jihad was obligatory.
`Abd al-`Aziz, who could never have given his consent to such a flagrant break with the Qu'ranic commandment of the Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, and according to all we know, `Abd al-Malik himself was an orthodox and observant Muslim.
Eutychius says that `Abd al-Malik and al-Walid - who reigned long after Ibn Zubayr was dead - forbade the pilgrimage to Makkah, while Ya`qubi extends this accusation to all the Umayyads, which is in clear contradiction to trustworthy traditions about the pilgrimage of these caliphs to Makkah.

Friends of Al-Aqsa

A further hypothesis suggests that 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan built the Qubbat al-Sakhra as a testimony to Islam's victory over Judaism and Christianity.
Furthermore, as Grabar puts it, it would have been 'politically suicidal' for 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan to have even contemplated modifying the Hajj, a sacrosanct religious duty imposed by God and the fifth pillar of Islam.
Finally, it is argued that had 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan wanted to replace Makkah as a place of pilgrimage he would have chosen a type of structure similar in plan to that of the Ka'ba.

MEMRI:

44-45), that in building the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque 'Abd al-Malik was motivated by his desire to divert the Pilgrimage from Mecca to Jerusalem, as part of his campaign against Ibn al-Zubayr.
When 'Abd Al-Malik Ibn Marwan prevented the people of Syria and Iraq from performing pilgrimage for a number of years, so they should not be inclined towards Ibn Al-Zubayr, and began to build a large mosque in Aelia, religious traditions appeared glorifying this mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
Therefore, 'Abd Al-Malik prevented people from making pilgrimage until [Ibn Al-Zubayr was defeated and] the war ended.

The fact that it is written as 'Abd al-Malik Marwan and not 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marman; and similarly 'Abdullah Zubayr instead of 'Abdullah ibn Zubayr is confusing.
The caliph 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan reigned between 65/685 and 86/705, so the date on the tile is fully consistent with his reign.
The only way to understand the above is the Persian way where by adding an izafeh 'Abd al-Malik-i Marwan, it would make it the son of.
