SHAFAQNA– Tens of thousands of Palestinians today (Thursday) offered Eid Al-Fitr prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Quds Endowment Office announced in a statement that 27,000 people offered Eid prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Sheikh Mohammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, said in his Eid sermon: “Al-Aqsa Mosque is the Mosque of Muslims which the aggressors and oppressors do not share.” Referring to the officials of the occupying regime in Jerusalem, he said: “They think that with bullying, coercion and unjust help from their allies, they are establishing a foothold in Al-Aqsa Mosque, but they are blind.”
The Mufti of Jerusalem further called on the Palestinians and said: “We must unite. You have no choice but to face the dangers that threaten our sanctuary, our land and our rights.”
