Speakers at a discussion on Friday said that the Palestinian crisis is not only a struggle for the Palestinian people but a crisis for the entire Islamic world. During the discussion titled ‘Liberation of Al Quds and Palestine: The Inevitability of Continuous Resistance,’ the speakers condemned Israel for violating the ceasefire, asserting that this action has led to a renewed wave of violence, resulting in the worst genocide across Palestine, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan. The speakers condemned the ongoing injustice and massacre taking place in Baitul Muqaddas, the first Qibla, and referred to the situation as a grave violation of sacred lands. The discussion was organised by the Al-Quds Committee Bangladesh in observance of International Al-Quds Day, and held at the Muzaffar Ahmed Chowdhury Auditorium at Dhaka University. Professor Dr. Naqib Muhammad Nasrullah, Vice Chancellor of the Islamic University, was present as the chief guest while Iranian ambassador to Bangladesh Mansour Chavoshi and Dean of the Faculty of Arts of Dhaka University Professor Dr. Mohammad Siddiqur Rahman Khan attended the discussion as special guests. Other notable discussants included Sayyed Reza Mirmohammadi, Cultural Counselor of the Iran Cultural Center in Dhaka, AKM Badruddoja, a Supreme Court lawyer of Bangladesh, and Islamic scholar Dr. AKM Anwarul Kabir. Senior journalist and founder of ChangeTV.Press, Amirul Muminin Manik, presented the keynote address. Chaired by Shah Kawthar Mustafa Abululayee, president of the Al-Quds Committee Bangladesh and chairman of Dhaka University’s Philosophy Department, Mustafa Tariqul Hasan, General Secretary of the Al-Quds Committee Bangladesh, delivered the welcome address. The speakers said that Baitul Muqaddas, a land of immense historical and religious significance, is deeply intertwined with the memories of many prophets and is referred to in the Holy Quran as the ‘holy land.’ As such, the love for Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Holy Land, and Palestine is deeply ingrained in the hearts of every believer. They also reiterated that the Palestinian crisis is a shared challenge for the entire Muslim world. They called for unity among Muslims worldwide to address this crisis, stating that the oppression faced by the Palestinian people will not last forever. Despite numerous hardships, the resistance fighters continue their struggle against the illegal occupation of Zionist Israel, and they firmly believe that the holy land of Palestine will one day be free.
