This article sheds light on the importance of Quds Day, offering diverse insights from global figures who emphasize its role in raising awareness.
On the eve of International Quds Day, let’s examine the perspectives of world personalities who emphasize that the naming of Quds Day by Ayatollah Khomeini, the late leader of the Islamic Revolution, was necessary and exposes the true nature of Israel and the crimes of this regime in order not to forget the Palestinian issue.
Quds Day: A key to peace in the Middle East and the world
Professor “Kevin Barrett”, American analyst: “The importance of Quds Day is in reminding us that the liberation of Palestine has not yet been achieved and Muslims should take steps with greater unity to achieve this goal.”
Discussing about the impact of the International Quds Day in light of the current developments in the region, he adds: “Quds Day reminds us that the freedom of Palestine is not the only issue that creates the greatest unity among the Muslims of the world, rather Quds Day is the key to establishing peace in the Middle East and the world.”
Quds Day unites the Muslims in support of Palestine
Professor Abdul Sharif, professor of history at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, said about Quds Day: “The importance of Quds Day lies in its ability to bring about unity between Muslims and the people of the world in support of the issue and cause of the Palestinian nation. Solidarity for Palestine should not be limited to a section of Muslims, rather, all Muslims and ultimately all freedom-loving people should support the Palestinians.”
Quds Day ensures the Palestinian issue is not forgotten
Professor Lawrence Davidson, an American historian and author emphasizes: “We are living in an era where there is no more place for colonialism, racism and expansionism. Therefore, if international communities pay attention to the importance of Quds day, the pain and suffering of Palestinians may lessen by participating in marches like Quds Day, Israel will no longer be able to erase Palestine from historical consciousness.”
Quds Day connects the Islamic world to the Palestinian struggle
Richard Falk, retired professor of international law at Princeton University and former UN special rapporteur on Palestinian human rights issues, said about his view on the importance of Quds Day rallies in addition to the current developments in the Middle East region: “International Quds Day, especially in the Islamic world, is a way to express people’s solidarity with the Palestinian cause, resistance against Israel’s occupation of Quds, and expressing opposition to the expansionist policies of this regime.”
He adds: “Since the Palestinians are the victors in the battle against Israel’s illegal policies and actions, global expressions of solidarity with the Palestinians on Quds Day strengthen their struggle.”
Quds Day: A necessity for justice in the Middle East
Professor “Rodney Shakespeare”, professor of economics and a prominent political analyst of England, by enumerating the great importance of celebrating the Quds Day in all countries of the world, he emphasized the necessity of this international day in establishing justice in the Middle East and said: “Quds Day is a necessity for establishing justice and stability in the Middle East.”
He noted: “The oppression that is being perpetrated on the Palestinian people is the clearest example of political and national oppression, it’s not only political but also cultural and religious, because Israel’s goal of this oppression is, in simple terms, a genocide that ultimately seeks to erase all Palestinians from their homeland.”
The importance of Quds Day is in reminding the suffering of Palestinians
Spanish anti-Israel writer “Manuel Galiana Ros” referring to the importance of Quds Day in the light of the current developments in the Middle East region, considered this day as a stage to show and remember the long-standing pain and suffering of the Palestinian people.
While praising the initiative of Ayatollah Khomeini, the late leader of the Islamic Revolution, in naming the World Quds Day, he said: “This naming shows the freedom-loving character of Ayatollah Khomeini and is a proof of his ways and policies.”
The freedom-loving spirit of Ayatollah Khomeini and the naming of Quds Day
“Abed Nakvi”, an Indian journalist, said about the importance of the World Quds Day march: “This day is actually held to renew support for the cause of the Palestinian people to show once again that the people of different countries are still concerned about the Palestinian issue. The Palestinian people also gain additional energy in their struggles through these marches.
Referring to the personality similarity of Ayatollah Khomeini and Gandhi, this media personality said: “These two prominent figures were great leaders of their countries who wanted freedom and tried to achieve freedom. In fact, it was the characteristic of Ayatollah Khomeini’s desire for freedom that led to the naming of the International Quds Day by him.”
Quds Liberation Day
Indian thinker “Akhtar Mehdi” considers the announcement of the International Quds Day as Ayatollah Khomeini’s legacy for the Muslim nations of the world to realize the freedom of Quds and Palestine and says: “By naming this day, Ayatollah Khomeini made the support of Quds and Palestine universal.”
Considering Imam Khomeini’s statement that if Muslims are united, they will achieve everything, he emphasizes that the Imam’s way should not be forgotten. Imam Khomeini stood against oppression and demanded justice in the world.
Conclusion
The importance of Quds Day extends beyond borders. It is a day of unity, resistance, and remembrance. As global voices echo, this day is essential in keeping the Palestinian cause alive and reinforcing worldwide solidarity against injustice.
Maintaining global awareness and commitment, Quds Day remains a big symbol in the struggle for peace, justice, and Palestinian liberation.
