International Quds Day is an annual pro-Palestinian event held on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to express support for Palestinians and oppose Israel and Zionism.

The event was first held in 1979 in Iran, shortly after the Iranian Revolution.  

Imam Khomeini the First leader of Islamic Republic of Iran stated that the "liberation" of Palestine  was a religious duty to all Muslims: 

I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as Al-Quds Day and to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people of Palestine. For many years, I have been notifying the Muslims of the danger posed by the usurper Israel which today has intensified its savage attacks against the Palestinian brothers and sisters, and which, in the south of Lebanon in particular, is continually bombing Palestinian homes in the hope of crushing the Palestinian struggle. I ask all the Muslims of the world and the Muslim governments to join together to sever the hand of this usurper and its supporters. I call on all the Muslims of the world to select as Al-Quds Day the last Friday in the holy month of Ramadan—which is itself a determining period and can also be the determiner of the Palestinian people's fate—and through a ceremony demonstrating the solidarity of Muslims worldwide, announce their support for the legitimate rights of the Muslim people. I ask God Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels. 

— Ruhollah Khomeini, 1979

Imam Ali (PBUH) was martyred on 21st Ramadan 40 A.H. by an assassin who mortally wounded the Holy Imam with a poisoned sword in the Mosque at Kufa during morning prayers on 19th Ramadan.

Imam Hasan (A.S.) the Leader of the youth in Heaven was born on 15th Ramadhan in third year after Hijrahin the holy city of Medina.

He was one of the four persons through whom the Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.) made the contest of prayer (Mubahila) with the Christians of Najran.

He was one of the five persons whom the Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.) covered with his cloak. 

He was one of the twelve Imams whose obedience Allah made incumbent on people. 

He was among those who were purified from sins as the Qur’an says. He was among those whose love Allah made reward for the divine mission of Islam. 

He was among those whom the Apostle of Allah made one of the two valuable things (Thaqalayn). Thus, whoever cleaves to them does not go astray. The Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.) loved him and asked Allah to love those who love him.

Imam Hasan(A.S.) the Second Holy Imam of the Shi’ites in the world was Divinely gifted with all great qualities to such an extent that he was outstanding in knowledge,tolerance,intelligence,bounty and valour.

Happy birthday of Imam Has

There are only four women in the entire world who measured up to the lofty standards of real greatness and perfection set by Islam. They are: 

1. Bibi Asiya (SA), the God fearing wife of Pharaoh

2. Bibi Maryam (SA), the mother of Jesus (Isa) (AS)

3. Bibi Khadija (SA), the daughter of Khawailad

4. Bibi Fatima Zahra (SA), the daughter of Prophet Prophet Muhammad (SAW) 

Bibi Khadija (SA), the holy wife of The Lord of Prophets, Prophet Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the mother of the Mistress of the Ladies of the Worlds, Bibi Fatima Zahra (SA), combined in her person all those attributes, which add up to perfection. Malikatul Arab (SA) was the ideal woman, the ideal wife for The Seal of Prophets, Prophet Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and the ideal mother.

Ramadan this year started on Monday in some countries but on Tuesday in others. How is that possible? 

The exact start time of Ramadan depends on when local Islamic authorities around the world declare the sighting of the new moon, the astronomical event that marks the start of the observance. 

the exact start time of Ramadan varies from place to place because it depends on a range of factors, including who observes the moon and how, and whether the sky is clear or cloudy at the time.

New technologies make moon readings more accurate, but they can also make the process more complex, the study said. For instance, does it count as an official sighting if a new crescent moon can be seen by an optical aid but not by the naked eye?

It isn’t just the start date of Ramadan that varies from place to place. The exact amount of time that people hold their dawn-to-dusk fasts depends on which year it is, and where they live in relation to the Equator.

Nowruz is the beginning day of spring which marks the beginning of the Solar Hijri calendar.

Shiite sources include hadiths on Nowruz. According to some hadiths, Nowruz is a blessed day, which is to be celebrated. For instance, Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have instructed ghusl, wearing one’s best clothes, a special prayer, and fasting on Nowruz. In another tradition, Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have mentioned a number of important events that had occurred on the day of Nowruz, such as the event of Ghadir.

During Ramadan, those observing have a pre-dawn meal, or “suhoor,” to sustain themselves during the daylight hours, and later break their fast with “iftar,” often a large meal.

During the month, Muslims try to avoid conflict and focus on acts of charity. However, Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip is looming large for many Muslims. There were hopes that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas could be reached before Ramadan began.

But now people of Gaza live in displacement, pain and oppression and the other  Muslim countries have Ramadan in happiness. It is the time that all Muslims should try to help Palestinian people.

As the Muslim world welcomed the start of the holy month on Monday, Gazans faced continued Israeli bombardments and a spiralling humanitarian crisis. 

Hassuna Tabib Hassnan, a dentist displaced from Gaza City in the north of the besieged Gaza Strip, told the AFP news agency: “We had hoped that for Ramadan [we] would be in our homes, but unfortunately it is clear that we will live in displacement, pain and oppression.” 

Meanwhile, Israeli restrictions on Muslims praying at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site, may further also ramp up tensions in the region.

Millions of Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan.

It requires immense self-control to remain without food and water for roughly 12-14 hours a day.
