'''Al-Quds Day''' (Arabic: { | '''Al-Quds Day''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|يوم القدس}}) takes place every year on the last [[Friday]] of the month of [[Ramadan]]. Soon after the [[Islamic revolution in Iran]], [[Imam Khomeini]] called on Muslims to dedicate this day to demanding the rights of oppressed Muslims around the world - particularly in [[Palestine]]. On this day, rallies are organized before [[Friday prayer]] to protest against the occupation of Palestine and the oppression of its people. | ||
Since the end of Ramadan can vary from country to country, if the last day of Ramadan is a Friday or Saturday in [[Iran]], al-Quds day will be held the week before. In some countries, due to lack of police authorization on Friday, the rally is made on another day or there is only permission for holding conferences on that day. | Since the end of Ramadan can vary from country to country, if the last day of Ramadan is a Friday or Saturday in [[Iran]], al-Quds day will be held the week before.
