Event Report: 28 March 2025

Like every year, the AL-QUDS DAY in QOM, Iran was simply outstanding and energizing. This year, the al-Quds Day had a renewed zeal and countless people poured out on the Shuhada Ave.

Believing men, women, youth, and children marched from the Haram of Sayyida Ma’sumah (A) towards the Musallah al-Quds. Many babies participated in their prams, strollers, and even pouches. Kudos to their parents! For as far as one could see, it was an ocean of justice-seeking and insightful believers expressing their solidarity with the oppressed nation of Palestine . Many elderly were witnessed on wheelchairs and even crutches. Subhan-Allah. The rally concluded with Friday prayers at Musallah al-Quds.

Third year in a row, the English speaking International Students of Qom (SoQ) came together to form a rally of their own and marched from the SoQ Cultural Center towards the Main Rally and joined it on the Shuhada Ave. A big al-Quds Day Banner and placards in English were designed, printed, and prepared by our volunteers, especially for the al-Quds Day Rally. The participants carried the banner and placards throughout the rally and chanted slogans in English, Farsi, and Arabic.

The local Iranian population welcomed this strong and noticeable presence of the non-Iranians in the rally. Countless people expressed their gratitude towards the international students’ participation in the al-Quds Day rally.

We would like to thank each and every one of you who participated in this rally with SoQ volunteer families.

We were joined by a diverse crowd of English speaking students and scholars along with their families from Nigeria, Philippines, Ireland, Australia, US, UK, France, Lebanon, Kashmir, Dubai, Tanzania, Pakistan, India and English-speaking Iranians. We thank the teachers of the university of Tehran and Savior school (Qom) and their students for their participation in this year’s rally alongside SoQ families.

Thank you for showing the strength and unity. And Jazak-Allah for continuously shouting the slogans while you were in the state of fasting. May Allah (swt) accept your fasting and your I’badaat. May Allah free Palestine from the clutches of the Zionist regime. Ameen.
