Setiap hari Jum'at terakhir bulan Ramadhan, sebagian umat Muslim memperingati Hari Al Quds, yaitu hari "pembebasan Masjidil Aqsa". Hari Al Quds ini pertama kali diserukan oleh pemimpin spiritual dan negara Iran, Imam Khomeini, 30 tahun yang lalu.
Meski di Indonesia, peringatan ini relatif tidak banyak diketahui, di berbagai negara Islam dan negara non-Islam, hari ini diperingati secara besarb-besaran. Sebagai penghormatan atas hari ini berikut ini saya copaskan artikel di situs almanar.com.lb hari ini:
On Al-Quds Day, Marches in Middle East for Liberating All Palestine
Massive rallies for commemorating International Al-Quds Day have taken place Friday in various countries including Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, Kuwait, Bahrain, as well as Gaza and the West Bank in occupied Palestine.
In the Islamic Republic of Iran, massive marches took place in various provinces, where people raised slogans like “Death to America”, “Death to Israel”, as well as pictures for Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and Hezbollah and the Palestinian resistances’ flags.
They chanted in support of Al-Quds and against all the Judaization conspiracies that the Zionist entity is executing against the sacred city.
For his part Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad delivered a speech before a crowd of commemorators in Tehran, in which he assured that Al-Quds Day is a day that revives human dignity and indicating that the Zionist entity is the axis of the unity of thieves in the world.
“The Zionist entity’s role is to spread incitements in the region and blocking any kind of development,” Ahmedinejad added.
Regarding the regional situation, the Iranian President emphasized that the right of self-determination, freedom, and spreading justice could not be attained with the assistance of the NATO forces or the American military tanks. He further reassured that the West or the Zionist Entity will fail to have any Power in the new Middle East.

The Marchers called for the liberation of Al-Quds, and assured that it is the central cause for the region.
