Srinagar:We need to understand that Quds day is not only limited with oppressed Palestinian’s and liberation of Masjid Aqsa rather the day for Mustazafeen-e-Aalam. This day demands to raise voice against Israel and its allies, organize rallies and awake others about the atrocities made by Zionist Israeli government.Imam Khomeini (ra) said “if all Muslims would unite & threw a bucket of water on isreal it would be washed away” The biggest virtue of Quds day is it helps ummah in maintaining unity.If the tyrants are united to kill Muslims why we cant Muslims to defend Islam?

International Quds Day is an important day for humanity. It is the day to express our solidarity with tAl-Quds Lana.Every year we are blessed by Almighty Allah in terms of Holy month of Ramadhan. According to Quran and the teachings of beloved Prophet Muhammad (Saww) the main motive of fasting is that we can acquire Taqwa (salvation) & we can feel the pain of hungry people during the full year.Our exterior appearance and inner “Nafs” (soul) is polluted due to different sins & due to this pollution some sensations got naturally hidden from us. Fasting has a lot of benefits and understanding the values of brotherhood, unity, standing with the oppressed people against oppressor is also among the teaching of Ramadhan.
Architect of Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini (ra) by his divine and spiritual virtue declared the last Friday of Ramadhan as “International Quds Day”. He urged Muslims over the globe to raise voice against tyrant and oppressor Israel & in solidarity with poor Palestinian’s and other downtrodden nations.
Imam Khomeini (ra) while called Bait-ul-Muqadas as an element of unity among Muslims and take advantage to raise issue of Al Quds to promote sense of brotherhood within Muslim nations and others.During 1940’s two countries came into existence one by Islamic movement & another by satanic strategy i.e Pakistan & Israel,the main aim of Pakistan was preaching Islam, but Pakistan doesn’t remained fully hold with Islamic values and the issue lies with the leadership and role of intelligentsia.On the other side Israel fully remained on his motive of suppress Palestinian’s and used all kinds of force to crush aspirations of people of Palestine. Since illegal creation of Israel army killed kids, students and womens in thousands,they also attacked educational institutions built by UNO, destroyed the building of Qibla Awal of Muslims i.e Baitul Muqadas. Moreover they mixed poison in drinking water & destroyed crops, orchards and other livestock of Gaza. The British & United states always tried to project Palestine issue a conflict of Arabs and many Arab countries neglected to the issue which helped imperialistic powers to gain their interests.
Imam Khomeini (ra) from first day highlighted & declared Palestine as religious obligation for Ummah rather than as a small Arab issue,which results resulting that Palestine issue was brought from back front to frontline. Now Israel is having fear of unity among muslims and that’s why they trying to create discord to divert attention from the main issue of Islam. Many nations were divided and silence of many Muslims governments over Palestine serving Israel only for the self-interests.The day when muslims government will announce and commemorate last Friday of Ramadhan as “Youm al Quds”,Israel will be wiped out from world. Solution of yemen, Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. lies in the Palestine.We need to understand that Quds day is not only limited with oppressed Palestinian’s and liberation of Masjid Aqsa rather the day for Mustazafeen-e-Aalam. This day demands to raise voice against Israel and its allies, organize rallies and awake others about the atrocities made by Zionist Israeli government.Imam Khomeini (ra) said “if all Muslims would unite & threw a bucket of water on isreal it would be washed away” The biggest virtue of Quds day is it helps ummah in maintaining unity.If the tyrants are united to kill Muslims why we cant Muslims to defend Islam?
