Unveiling the Truth Behind Int’l Quds Day
by | April 5, 2024 | No Comments

In the annals of history, August 1979 marked a pivotal moment: the last Friday of Ramadan was sanctified as International Quds (Jerusalem) Day. This declaration wasn’t merely a date on the calendar; it became a beacon of truth, a clarion call for justice amidst the tumult of oppression. Imagine, if you will, the words echoing from the Sage of Jamaran, resonating with the fervor of a righteous cause. “The Day of Quds,” he proclaimed, “shall be the litmus test revealing

O Allah, in this sanctified month of Sha’ban, we come before You, hearts laden with the weight of our present humiliation. More than a hundred of our Palestinian brethren have fallen, while some seven hundred others bear the scars of wounds inflicted by Israeli forces, as they callously opened fire upon hundreds awaiting sustenance southwest of Gaza City. Yet, the gaze of the world remains fixed upon this injustice. In certain Muslim lands, the act of supplicating for Gaza in
