Quds day 2025

Quds Day, or International Al-Quds Day, is observed annually on the last Friday of Ramadan. Established by Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, the day serves as a platform to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and to highlight the ongoing struggle against Zionism and oppression in the region. In 2025, Quds Day resonated globally, reflecting the evolving geopolitical landscape and the enduring quest for justice and peace in Palestine.

Coinciding with the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, millions of people around the world participated in the International Quds Day march in support of the Palestinian people. The demonstrations were held in various countries and cities, including Iran, Sweden, Amsterdam, Toronto, Pakistan, Syria, and London.

Global Observance and Themes

On Quds Day 2025, various cities around the world hosted rallies, marches, and educational events. These gatherings aimed to raise awareness about the plight of Palestinians and to advocate for their rights. The theme for Quds Day 2025 was focused on “Unity Against Oppression,” emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in addressing humanitarian crises and supporting self-determination.

Key Locations of Observance

1. Tehran, Iran: As the birthplace of Quds Day, Tehran witnessed one of the largest demonstrations. Millions participate and chanted slogans of support for Palestine and demanded an end to Israeli occupation.

2. Beirut, Lebanon: The Lebanese capital, home to a significant Palestinian refugee population, also saw large-scale protests. Activist groups and political parties united to call for solidarity with Palestinians, highlighting their struggles against displacement and violence.

3. Afghanistan: As the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan and International Quds Day approached, a number of religious scholars, elders, and youth from Sar-e-Pul province, in a conference titled “Palestine, the Axis of Muslim Unity,” emphasized their support for the Palestinian people and an end to the war in Gaza.

According to Radio Dari reporter Khyber Ebrahimi, the participants in the conference criticized the world’s silence regarding the crimes of the Zionist regime against the people of Gaza and called on all leaders of Islamic countries to support the Palestinian people. Also, on this occasion, the Islamic Brotherhood Council in Balkh province held a similar conference and announced its support for the Palestinian people.

Hashtags related to Quds Day trended across platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, allowing voices from different backgrounds to share their perspectives on Palestine and mobilize support.

Challenges Ahead

While Quds Day serves as a platform for solidarity, it also faces challenges. In many countries, pro-Palestinian demonstrations can lead to tensions with pro-Israel groups or government authorities. Security concerns may arise, leading to restrictions on protests or clashes between opposing factions. Additionally, rising anti-Semitism in some regions complicates discussions about Palestine and Israel, necessitating careful navigation of these sensitive issues.

Quds day 2025, a unanimous universal voice

Quds Day 2025 was a significant moment of reflection and action for millions around the world. As communities gathered to voice their support for Palestine, they also reinforced the principles of justice, human rights, and resistance against oppression. The day served not only as a reminder of the struggles faced by Palestinians but also as an opportunity for individuals worldwide to unite in their commitment to a more just and equitable world.

The story of Palestine over the past decades and for many years has been a tale full of sorrow not only for the Islamic world but for all humanity and the human community. This story serves as a lesson and a role model. Palestine stands up to a hegemonic system that persists and continues to exist by suppressing the rights and truth. The reality is that today the Zionist regime is the killing machine of the hegemonic system and the criminal America, but these days will not last long and Palestine will be free.
