Itikaaf in Al-Aqsa, Palestine

Posted on the October 25th, 2005 under Uncategorized by Tohir

It is now the last ten days of Ramadaan and it is popular to find many people performing I’tikaaf in Masjids. I’tikaaf is a ‘spiritual retreat’ where for the fixed period, people live and stay in the Masjids. They spend their time in devotion and prayer.

But it seems that in Palestine there is a more urgent need for I’tikaaf to be performed – to save the Masjidul Aqsa from destruction from Jewish vandals and fanatics.

A Holy Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is in danger and yet they seem oblivious to it. In addition, one finds a shameless frankness of Jewish groups to this evil intention. Anyone in doubt or denial should note that their corner stone already exists.
