TEHRAN (Iran News) –Muslims worldwide ended the holy month of Ramadan with celebrating Eid al-Fitr and this year’s Ramadan injected new life into Palestinian struggle for freedom and Muslims across the world this year showed more support for Palestinians and it is a sign of hope for liberation of Palestine and decline of the fake Israel.
This year’s Eit al-Fitr was held worldwide with more support for Palestine and its freedom and this is an alarm for the Zionist regime which uses force to stop Palestinians.
A senior Iranian diplomat praised Palestinians for their significant presence at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound as they performed Eid al-Fitr prayers, stating that the holy fasting month of Ramadan breathes new life into the Palestinian struggle for freedom, and pushes it closer to final liberation from the Israeli occupation.
“Every year in the holy month of Ramadan, the cause for the liberation of Palestine gets a new life and the sacred city of al-Quds moves closer to freedom,” Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanaani wrote in a post published on his Twitter page on Saturday.
He added, “Palestine, as always, shone brightly during this year’s Ramadan, both in the struggle for liberation and mass [Eid] prayers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.”
Kanaani wrote in a separate Twitter post that the state of affairs across the occupied Palestinian lands is now in greater disarray.
He said while extremist Jewish settlers are more desperate than ever before, Palestinians espouse stronger beliefs and are more determined about complete liberation of Palestine and destruction of “the cancerous tumor of Israel”.
On Friday, a total of 120,000 Palestinian worshipers performed the Eid al-Fitr prayers at the sacred al-Aqsa Mosque compound despite strict measures taken by Israel.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said Israeli forces assaulted Palestinian youths, beating them with sticks near the Lions’ Gate in occupied al-Quds, as they were on their way to perform the Eid prayers.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Israeli authorities imposed strict restrictions on the entry and exit of Palestinians to and from the gates of al-Aqsa Mosque. Amid heightened tensions with Palestinian worshipers, Israeli settlers also pressed ahead with their frequent incursions and provocative rituals at the holy site.
The Zionist regime in Ramadan resorted to any action and plot to undermine Palestinians’ struggle for freedom and liberation of their lands but their efforts were in vain because Muslims in the world and even other non-Muslim people held rallies during Quds Day in support of Palestine.
On Eid al-Fitr Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the focus of the Muslim world should be on strengthening Palestinian combatants at a time when Israel is fast approaching its end.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with the ambassadors of the Islamic countries in the capital Tehran on Saturday on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
“Today, we are witnessing the gradual decline of the usurping Zionist regime; its speed is even increasing day by day,” the Leader said. “The strategy of the Islamic world should be focused on strengthening the combatant elements inside Palestine.”
Pointing to the increasing waves of support for the Palestinian people around the world, the Leader said the participation of the Europeans in rallies to support the Palestinian people is “very important, that too in the countries that are dependent on the Zionists”.
“The more this resistance increases, the weaker the Zionist regime will be, the more apparent its atrocities will become. The truly miserable situation that the Zionist regime is facing today is the result of the Palestinian youth’s resistance.”
Elsewhere in his address to the meeting, the Leader said the entire factors during the holy fasting month of Ramadan help to bring the hearts of people closer to one another, either within a country or in the whole Islamic Ummah.
“The authorities of Islamic countries should use this opportunity to create unity and togetherness among the members of the Islamic Ummah. Today, our problem is division, even though the Qur’an forbids division,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.
If the Islamic Ummah, which is close to two billion today and is spread in the most significant and sensitive geographical areas of the world, were united, the Islamic countries would achieve much more blessings, the Leader said.
Stressing that Palestine is not only an Islamic issue but also a human one, the Leader referred to the Quds Day rallies and marches in Muslim as well as non-Muslim countries, and said, “Anti-Zionist gatherings on the Quds Day in the US and European countries are the result of the increasing revelation of the crimes of the usurping Zionists.”
After the Founder of the Islamic Revolution the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Supreme Leader has been the only other leader and politician who has predicted the decline of Israel and liberation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestine and it seems many more politicians or analysts think so and they believe Israel will collapse and it is just a matter of time.
As the Supreme Leader has said, Muslims should unite against the Zionists in order to accelerate the Zionist regime’s collapse and Ramadan is a month when Muslims can get more united in defending Islam and Muslim states against the Zionists and the Quds Day is turning into a bullet in the heart of the killer regime of Israel.
So we Muslims see Ramadan as a month of preparation of soul and body for a better life and resistance against enemies and fighting them and therefore Ramadan is month of injection of hope for Muslims.
