Quds Day is the last Friday of Ramadan which was named some months after victory of the Islamic revolution in Iran in Imam | '''Quds Day''' (يوم القدس) is the last [[Friday]] of [[Ramadan]] which was named some months after victory of the [[Islamic revolution in Iran]] in [[Imam Khomeini]]’s message in support of Palestinians on Ramadan 13th, 1399 AH (August 7th, 1979). On this day, rallies will be organized before Friday prayer to protest against occupation of [[Palestine]] and the oppression on them and at the end of rally, protesters attend the Friday prayer. In some countries, due to lack of police authorization on Friday, the rally is made on another day or there would be permission only for holding conferences. | ||
Since, the end of Ramadan is different in different countries, if the last day of Ramadan is Friday or Saturday in Iran, it will be held one week earlier so that the organization can be made for other countries. | Since, the end of Ramadan is different in different countries, if the last day of Ramadan is Friday or Saturday in [[Iran]], it will be held one week earlier so that the organization can be made for other countries. | ||

'''I ask all the Muslims of the world and the Muslim governments to join together to sever the hand of this usurper and its supporters. I call on all the Muslims of the world to select as al-Quds Day the last Friday in the holy month of Ramadan — which is itself a determining period and can also be the determiner of the Palestinian people’s fate — and through a ceremony demonstrating the solidarity of Muslims world-wide, announce their support for the legitimate rights of the Muslim people. I ask God Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels.''' | |||
