Al Quds means "Jerusalem" in Arabic, and Al Quds Day has been observed internationally since 1979, beginning in Iran and now globally.
Jerusalem is to remain an international city in perpetuity, and representatives of the future Israeli government agreed to this as part of the 1947 agreement creating the nation-state of Israel. In 1967, Israel occupied the eastern portion of the city and continues to occupy it as it attempts to annex it, violating international law and the laws creating the state.
"Al Quds Day is a universal day. It is not an exclusive day for Quds itself. It is a day for the oppressed to rise and stand up against the arrogant."
Imam Khomeini
Al Quds Day highlights the oppression and ongoing subjugation of Christians and Muslims in the holy city, but its primary objective is to end oppression worldwide. Whether under occupation or colonial rule, the rights of its people are doled out based upon arbitrary designations, including origin, nationality, race, sex, and religion. In solidarity with Jerusalem, people throughout the world living under oppression are encouraged, through non-violent means, to stand up against their oppressors, insist on peace, and work toward a better future where the people, rather than political force, prevail.
Traditionally this event is held on the last Friday of Ramadan.
