VIDEO: The Importance of Al-Quds Day

[note added 22 December 2023] I took part in this odd but useful interview on Al-Quds Day for Press TV back in 2011.  The Al-Quds Day protest – attending it, supporting it, and defending it – has been an important part of my life.

Broadcast Date: 25 Aug. 2011

Text adapted from Press TV site:

It has been thirty years since Imam Khomeini declared the last Friday of Ramadan the Al-Quds day.

He said “it is the day for the weak and oppressed to confront the arrogant powers… Al-Quds day is the day of Islam.”

In this edition of Islam & LIFE, Arzu Merali discusses the following question, “Al-Quds day -How should we spread the message to improve support of this day?”
