بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ
Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing. [17:1]

The international day of Quds was started by the late Ayatollah Khomeini, the Islamic leader who brought about the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979.
"I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as 'Quds Day and to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people of Palestine." Imam Khomeini, the Holy month of Ramadan 1399AH (August 1979).
The purpose of the international day of Quds was to create awareness and to support the oppressed all over the world, especially the Palestinians, who have been subjected to oppression for more than 50 years – since 1948.
Since then, people from all parts of the world have come together to march and protest in support of the oppressed Palestinians. The Palestinian/Israeli conflict, has claimed the lives, the homes and the sanity of many. But those moreso affected are the Palestinians: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/ Many were, are and will remain scarred by this conflict for all eternity.
The oppressive Zionist regime has not only been condemned by Muslims, but Jews themselves. Muslim leaders, Orthodox Jewish Rabbis and layman gathered across the street of the United Nation Headquarters where Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta International, Jews United Against Zionism, stated:
... this is a rebellion against God who has expressly forbidden us, the Jewish people, from ending the Godly decreed exile, by creating our own State, this rebellion against God has been compounded immeasurably by the fact that in order to create this state, a land has been taken, clearly against the will of the indigenous population, the Palestinian people. Their homes and properties have been confiscated and untold thousands have been expelled etc. their suffering continues unabated until this present day ...

The international day of Quds, is also about unity. All Muslim's, particularly the Shia and Sunni's need to unify and carry this message to the next generations. We need to come together, to protect all Muslim's and to defend the right of those who have been subjected to all kinds of inhumane acts.
Today the war on terror has helped the Zionist entity, to repress the voice of Palestinians and to intensify its attacks on Palestine. They have used the "we must fight terror wherever it may be", to justify the killings of many innocent Palestinians daily.
But does the West know "terrorism" the way Palestinians do? The Palestinians have known terrorism for quite some time, 55 years and still ongoing. Palestinians are terrorized on their own land and the blame is put on them.
Muslim's, Jew's and Christian's, must stand united against all forms of oppression. The mantra that we should all live by (regardless of one’s race or creed) should indeed be the US administrative catch cry of “liberty and justice for all”. Just the same way a stop to Muslim's committing terrorist attacks against the West and the East, must come to a halt; The Zionist ideology must be stopped once and for all. Along with the unjustified war in Iraq, which has claimed the life's of many innocents because of the Bush Administration and its lies - all of these injustices, need to be removed.
We should take a lesson from history, Nelson Mandela's journey from freedom fighter to president of the New South Africa, opened a new chapter for the South Africans who had been fighting against the white rule and the institution of apartheid.
All of us, no matter who we are, which land we come from and which faith we belong to, must bring justice to the oppressed of every nation. When a terrorist attack occurs against the West, everyone shouts out. Why does not the same shout out take place for the oppressed Palestinians, Iraqi's, Afghani's, Sudanese, Bosnian's and the people of Kosovo and Chechnya? Has it become like a routine, something we have become use to? Why do we continue to neglect their helpless cries? Is it not right that everyone lives in Peace? Is it not right that everyone feel's safe?
These people live between life and death. We have neglected the voices of those who all of our awaited savior's, will come to aid first. Our awaited savior's will come to these people first and free them from the shackles of oppression.
Here are a few videos which shows the sufferings of the Palestinian people. Remember we are all one Ummah and it is about time we made a difference within ourselves and our socities to aid our brothers in faith and humanity.
One who gets up in the morning and is not concerned about the affairs of the Muslim Ummah is NOT a muslim ~ Prophet Muhammad [pbuh]
The Universal Day of Al Quds.
If you will go to Google and type in "Seeds of Armageddon Theology," you will find historical information which throws light on the continuing Middle East conflict. Yes, the strange 19th century belief known as the "pretribulation rapture" view is the thing that inspires leaders such as Hagee, LaHaye, and Falwell to strongly promote Christian Zionism. And if you type in "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," you will learn of the development of that prophetic doctrine.
