Occupied Quds - Saba:
Islamic institutions in Al-Quds have condemned the escalating and unprecedented violations by Jewish extremist groups against Al-Aqsa Mosque.
This came in a joint statement issued on Tuesday by the Council of Endowments and Islamic Affairs in Al-Quds, the Supreme Islamic Authority, the Palestinian Fatwa Council, the Office of the Chief Justice in Al-Quds, and the Department of Islamic Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs.
The Islamic bodies also denounced the extremist Jews' desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque by performing public prayers, rituals, prostrations, singing, and dancing within its courtyards—actions that have become a daily occurrence. They described these acts as a clear violation of red lines and a deliberate disregard for the beliefs of over 2 billion Muslims worldwide.
The Quds-based Islamic institutions held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for the serious violations against one of Islam’s holiest sites, Al-Aqsa Mosque, by enabling large groups of Jewish extremists to storm the mosque daily under military protection to perform their public rituals.
They emphasized that these acts constitute a blatant violation of the religious, historical, and legal status of Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has remained an exclusive place of worship for Muslims for five centuries, spanning an area of 144 dunams.
The Islamic bodies reaffirmed that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a divinely ordained place of worship for Muslims alone, as it was the destination of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Night Journey from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca before his ascension to the heavens.
They stressed that Al-Aqsa will remain an Islamic mosque until the Day of Judgment, stating that it cannot be divided or shared.
The Islamic institutions in Al-Quds called on Arab and Islamic nations to take a firm stance against the arrogance and blatant aggression of the occupation authorities toward Al-Aqsa Mosque. They also urged the Islamic world and the international community to act swiftly to halt these serious violations before Jewish extremist groups proceed with their declared plans to Judaize, demolish, or occupy Al-Aqsa Mosque—God forbid.
