RNA – According to the Secretariat of the Council for the Planning of the Theological Schools ‎of the Ahlul-Sunnah, 337 Iranian Sunni scholars and academics have issued a statement in ‎which they invited the Islamic ummah to proclaim their solidarity with the oppressed ‎Palestinian ‎people and ‎defend al-Quds (Jerusalem) by participating in the marches held on ‎International ‎al-Quds Day.‎

International al-Quds is an annual event held on the last Friday of the holy month of ‎‎‎Ramadhan that was initiated by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 to express support for ‎‎‎the Palestinians and oppose Zionism and Israel.‎

The text of the joint statement of the Iranian Sunni scholars is as follows:‎

The holy month of Ramadhan is an exercise in patience and endurance, in the light of which ‎the gift of divine victory is promised to the faith community. The Holy Quran also introduces ‎the victory of a society as a product of stability, resistance and fearlessness in the face of ‎the enemies because the divine tradition is the raising of the flag of faith and truth and the ‎leadership of those on the axis of truth are patient and God-seeking warriors. In this way, ‎the sleeping souls are awakened and the tired ones become patient until the liberating ‎movement of the Muslims accelerates and Islamic resurrection sweeps across the world.‎
‎ ‎
Now that the discourse of the Islamic Awakening, as a sweet fruit of revolutionary Islam in ‎the thought of Imam Khomeyni and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎‎[Ayatollah Khamenei], has given important challenges to the capitalist and materialist world ‎and has created an ocean of sacrifice and sincerity in the life of human society and ‎accompanies the hearts of the freedom-seekers until they reach the shore of salvation, the ‎sworn enemies of Islam and Muslims have turned toward slandering authentic Islam. With ‎the support of the traitors to Islam and Muslims, they have sunk their claws in the face of ‎genuine Islam and through their foolish and reactionary actions, the atmosphere of Islamic ‎communities has been polluted.‎

This year, the Islamic Ummah and the freedom-seeking people of the world welcome ‎International al-Quds Day given the situation in which the claws of the occupying Zionist ‎executors are still stained with the blood of innocent victims and the criminal United States ‎has compounded these crimes by engaging in the conspiracy of transferring its embassy to ‎Noble al-Quds and the disgraceful “Deal of the Century” has been implemented with the help ‎of the Muslims.‎
‎ ‎
Sunni scholars and academics in the Islamic Republic, while adhering to the ideals of the late ‎founder of the Islamic Republic [Imam Khomeyni] and the wise guidance of the Supreme ‎Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei], condemn the crimes of the ‎occupiers, as well as the treacherous “Deal of the Century,” and call on all the free Ummah ‎and the honourable Islamic sacred system to declare solidarity with the oppressed ‎Palestinian people and defend Noble al-Quds by participating in the marches on International ‎al-Quds Day.‎
