The Palestinian Diaries

On the third Friday of the holy month, Ramadan, the ninth month of lunar year and the month of fasting to Muslims, Many palestinians from all over Palestine went to Alqsa mosque in Jerusalem to attend friday prayer and speech. The number of Palestinians is said to be nearly quarter of a million, and this is a small number because many Palestinians can’t get to the mosque because of Isreali barriers.

Al Aqsa mosque, one of three mosques around the world Muslims are urged to visit and pray in. It is in the blessed Jerusalem, and under control of Israeli state.

It was built 2000 years b.c. and is the second mosque built in the world for worshipping Allah. Nowadays, it is attacked by extremist Jewish groups, who are tolerated by the Israeli government. They consistantly digg tunnels underneath the mosque  which affects its foundations. Many Islamic figures in Jerualem warned that the continual of these excavations might lead to the collapse of Al Aqsa mosque, which is the goal of extremist Jewish groups and Israeli authoroties.

Now leaving you with photos of quarter a million Palestinian praying in Alqsa mosque, enjoy =)

These two images show “Qubbat Al Sakhra” or in english “The Dome of the rock” mosque. It was built in Alqsa mosque yard.

However, many Muslims around the world wish to visit AlAqsa mosque to pray. Al Aqsa mosque is under Israeli occupation that makes it hard for Palestinians in Palestine to pray in the mosque, and impossible for Muslims out of Palestine. Muslims put this in their wishlist and ask Allah to grant them this great chance to visit the mosque and make worship.
