Yawm Al-Quds
يوم القدس
Text Size:
Yawm al-Quds (Quds Day) is an annual event observed on the last Friday of Ramadan, established by Imam Khomeini in 1979 following the Iranian Revolution. It serves as a day of solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposition to Israeli occupation of Jerusalem (al-Quds) and Palestinian territories. On this day, Muslims and supporters of Palestinian rights worldwide hold rallies, speeches, and demonstrations expressing support for Palestinian self-determination and the liberation of Jerusalem. The day emphasizes the religious significance of Jerusalem as the first Qibla of Islam, the site of the Prophet's Night Journey (Isra), and the location of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. It also highlights the plight of Palestinian refugees, the ongoing conflict, and the importance of Muslim unity in supporting Palestinian rights. Critics argue that the day has been used to express anti-Israel and sometimes anti-Semitic sentiments, while supporters maintain it focuses on political rights and opposition to occupation, not religious or ethnic hatred. Yawm al-Quds reflects the intersection of religious sentiment and political activism in the Muslim world, mobilizing collective action around a cause perceived as central to Muslim identity and justice. The day reminds Muslims of their historical and spiritual connection to Jerusalem and their responsibility toward oppressed peoples.
