THE
Iranian Ambassador to Tanzania Syed Agha Jaffari Mahadi has said it is now over three
decades ago, since the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Ayotallah
Imam Ruhollah Khomeini announced Al-Quds day on the last Friday of the Holy
month of Ramadan.
He made his
remarks in Dar es Salaam yesterday at Mtoro Mosque to commemorate Al Qudus
Day.
He added
that this step was taken by the Imam, after the victory of the Islamic
revolution in Iran and the ouster of the tyrant, Shah Reza Pahlavi, who was a
major ally of the United States and the Zionist entity in the Middle East.

He said as soon as the Iranian
people’s revolution triumphed, Imam Khomeini closed the Israeli embassy in Iran
ending all kinds of relations with the entity, and inaugurated a Palestinian
embassy.
“Imam Khomeini was the first in the
world to take such a step in support of the Palestinian cause, and Iran was the
first country to celebrate this day,” he said.
According to him, later on, the Arab
and Islamic world adopted this call by organizing yearly marches to express
their adherence to the Palestinian cause, and their honour to Al-Quds as a
major Islamic sanctity.
This year, as usual in Dar es Salaam,
the Tanzanian capital was a pivotal stage to the Muslims to show their
solidarity with Palestinian cause and curse the Israeli brutal regime.
People all over the world and
particularly the Middle East, started
revealing awareness and taking action for supporting righteous causes, such as
the Arab revolutions as well as the marches against Israel on Al-Nakba and
Al-Naksa day.
Friday the 2nd of August,
being the last Friday of the Month of Ramadan this year, and various rallies
have been organized to take place on this day to reassure that the Palestinian
cause will always exist in the conscience of every free person in the world.
Speaking on the occasion, Sheikh Musa
Kundecha, the leader of Islamic Institutions and grand Imam of Mchangani Mosque
said the victory of the Islamic Revolution in
Iran was a great boost for the Palestinian issue.
He
said added that Imam Khomeini's
universal recommendations as, the revival of religious culture, the negation of hegemonic
powers, disrupting the cruel governors on the universal
politics, reviving the Islamic traditions like Abrahamic Hajj, undermining the
illegitimate existence of Israel, Quds' freedom, defending the liberal movements and the
movement toward the divine spirituality and the exalted values.
“Imam Khomeini was very decisive and
determined in the fulfillment of his goals toward
Palestine and he
delivered his promises even in the first days of
Iran's revolution by closing Israel's embassy in Tehran and
handing it over to the Palestinians,”
he said.
The
announcement of Quds day, as the last Friday of Ramadan month, is promising for new movements to
restore the world of Islam's support for the Muslims all over the world to be
mobilized for liberation of Al Quds.
Imam Khomeini's view
to the Middle East's critical issues, especially Palestine, was always along with an
intellectual perspective and
based on the divine verses, Palestinians' desires and the Muslim's public thoughts.
His
perspectives were completely different from other Arabic and
Western governments' analysis.
The
spirit of the Islamic revolution leadership has been constantly kept alive in all eras.
Referring to all Imam
Khomeini's lectures, words, works, and his practical
tradition, we can come to conclusion that his leadership responsibility
regarding the Palestine's issue is completely
distinct from the other tendencies which step forward against the oppressed Palestinians' real desires.
