Protect Al-Aqsa Mosque – Islamic scholar urges Muslims
By Ajayi Sodiq
Al-Aqsa Mosque is a representation of faith and history. It is regarded as the first Qiblah (direction of prayer) and the second-holiest location (Haram Sharif) in Islam, after Mecca’s Grand Mosque. It signifies the end of the Prophet Muhammad’s night journey and the start of his ascension.
The continuous Israeli occupation of Jerusalem and attempts to change the site’s identity are the reasons for Professor Ashur’s urgency. He draws attention to the fact that there are more attacks on Muslims during Ramadan, specifically aimed at the valiant Murabite mosque guardians. He emphasizes that these attacks intend to scare and degrade individuals who are practising their beliefs, in addition to causing them bodily damage.
In a powerful call to action, Professor Ashur urges Muslims worldwide, both within and outside Palestine, to journey to Al-Aqsa Mosque. He emphasizes that this duty, rooted in Sharia law, extends to both individuals and institutions. Drawing on Quranic and Sunnah teachings, he highlights numerous religious injunctions supporting the protection of Al-Quds al-Sharif (Jerusalem) and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
As tensions escalate, recent Israeli announcements regarding mosque closures during Ramadan have raised concerns. The eyes of the world remain fixed on Al-Aqsa, a sacred place where faith, history, and duty converge.
