As Salam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

You are all aware of the importance and significance of Masjid-e-Aqsa. The illegal occupier Israel has presently closed the doors of the Masjid to Muslims. They are unable to recite the Adhan from its minarets nor can they perform the Salah in the congregation. After almost 5 decades for the first time, the Juma prayer could not be held last Friday. Respected Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari has instructed that the Friday sermon (Khutba e Juma) today should be dedicated to the cause of Masjid-e-Aqsa and efforts should be made that besides the masjids under Jamaat, the Imams of other masjids (in India) should also be requested to discuss the issue of Masjid-e-Aqsa in their Friday sermon and remind the Muslim Ummah of its responsibility towards the Baitul Maqdis.

Was Salam
