RNA – Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri-Hamadani issued a statement to the International Conference on International al-Quds Day in which he emphasized, “Soon al-Quds (Jerusalem) will be liberated by the Muslim youth and the oppressive Zionist regime will disappear.”
The revered source of emulation emphasized, “Today, one of the most important issues in the Islamic world and in the international arena is the issue of the holy city of al-Quds and Palestine.”
He referred to verse 75 of Surah al-Nisa (The Women) and said, “One of the valuable points that has been repeatedly emphasized in the Holy Quran is the struggle against the oppressor and the protection of the oppressed. Unfortunately, human rights organizations and Islamic organizations, and some Muslims, especially those who publish millions of copies of the Holy Quran a year and send them around the world and falsely introduce themselves as servants of the Quran and the Two Holy Shrines [Makkah and Madinah], haven’t paid heed to these verses and have ignored them.”
Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani described Palestine as the primary issue of the Islamic world and added, “It’s with great regret that some of the leaders of the Islamic world are helping the oppressors, trampling on the rights of the oppressed nations, especially the Palestinian people. With their hidden and behind-the-scenes help or compromises, or with their deadly silence, they are reinforcing the oppression of arrogance and Zionism. They are weakening al-Quds and for many years now, the seemingly great powers have been trying to make the issue of al-Quds to be forgotten.”
He noted, “During the last forty years, at the initiative of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Imam Khomeyni, and with the help of religious, passionate and Muslim people in different parts of the world and sometimes with the restrictions of some governments, al-Quds Day was kept alive and has been an arrow in the heart of this sedition. He turned the day of al-Quds into a great Islamic day and introduced Zionism as a cancerous tumour.”
Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani said, “al-Quds Day must still be considered the most important international day. This year, due to the Coronavirus, [the al-Quds Day events] must be celebrated under the supervision of the officials and in observation of the health guidelines. the officials must respect the health of the Palestinian people and express their support for the Palestinian people and the holy city Quds in any way they can and express their disgust with the arrogant powers and the Zionists and their agents.”
