Al Aqsa Is Calling Us!
Al-Aqsa is a Holy Mosque in Jerusalem, situated in the Al-Haram Ash-Sharif. This mosque is the 3rd holiest site in Islam. This is where the Prophet SAW ascended to Heaven. Verse no.1, chapter 17 of the Holy Quran highlights the blessings that have been brought on the areas surrounding Masjid Al- Aqsa. Before the Qibla, the direction in which Muslims pray was established towards the Kaaba; the Muslims faced Al-Aqsa for their Qibla. One prayer in this mosque also equals 500 prayers. This area is clearly a place of great divine importance and, hence, a unifying point for Muslims all around the world. It is one of the reasons that Muslims have a strong affinity for Palestine, not only because of the atrocities committed against the Palestinians, but also because their beloved Holy Mosque also stands there.
Evacuate Fadi and Ali Action Alert
Fadi Al-Whidi, a 25-year old Al-Jazeera cameraman, who has risked his life for the last year to document “Israel’s” atrocities across Gaza was targeted and shot in the neck by the Zionist occupation on October 9th, 2024. Images of Fadi stunned the world as they were reminiscent of the targeting of Shireen Abu-Akleh, two years earlier, laying face down while his colleagues and friends shouted his name in desperation hoping for a response.
A week later, Fadi fell into a coma and remains in coma today, requiring to be evacuated from North Gaza to receive life-saving medical treatment. The Zionist occupation continues to deny his evacuation while he fights for his life. We demand action #SaveFadiAlWhidi
Ali Al-Attar, another 27-year old Al-Jazeera cameraman, was injured in a Zionist airstrike in Deir Al Balah on October 8th, 2024. Like Fadi, Ali requires evacuation for critical medical attention to save his life. Ali and Fadi are amongst many journalists who have worked tirelessly to bring the truth to light, and who have been deliberately targeted by the Zionist occupation in an attempt to commit their crimes in Gaza freely.
