The religious director of the Islamic Humanitarian Service in Canada said, “al-Quds Day is ‎a ‎very important day that we take to remember the Palestinian people and one of the ‎reasons ‎why I believe it is a very important day is because when we have busy ‎schedules throughout ‎the year we tend to be engaged in our own activities and work ‎and we often forget those ‎who are less fortunate and those who are in different parts ‎of the world and who may be ‎suffering throughout the year while we are still busy in ‎our day to day lives.”‎
