Al-Quds Day – A Global Stand for Justice

Al-Quds Day: A Global Stand for Justice

What is Al-Quds Day?

Al-Quds Day (Arabic: يَوْم القُدْس) is observed on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a day of global demonstrations and awareness campaigns against the occupation of Palestine, particularly focusing on the status of Al-Quds (Jerusalem). Initiated in 1979, Al-Quds Day has since become a symbol of resistance and solidarity for the Palestinian people.

The Significance of Al-Quds (Jerusalem)

Al-Quds, one of the holiest cities in the world, holds religious and historical significance for Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. For Muslims, it is home to Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. The ongoing occupation and displacement of Palestinians have turned Al-Quds into a center of struggle, making Al-Quds Day an important occasion to advocate for justice and human rights.

Global Observance and Demonstrations

Every year, millions of people across different countries take to the streets, holding rallies, marches, and conferences to highlight the Palestinian cause. These demonstrations emphasize:

• The right of Palestinians to self-determination
• Condemnation of illegal settlements and occupation
• Solidarity with oppressed communities worldwide

Governments, human rights organizations, and activists use this day to call for an end to aggression and the recognition of Palestinian rights.

How Can You Participate?

• Join Rallies: Many cities hold peaceful demonstrations to show solidarity with Palestine.
• Educate & Raise Awareness: Share information about the Palestinian struggle on social media and with your community.
• Support Humanitarian Efforts: Donate to organizations working to provide relief and aid to displaced Palestinian families.
• Advocate for Justice: Engage with policymakers, sign petitions, and use your voice to demand action against occupation and human rights violations.

Al-Quds Day is more than just a day of protest; it is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and freedom. As we observe this day, let us remember the resilience of the Palestinian people and continue to stand in solidarity with them.
