OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic movement in 1948 occupied Palestine, said that the occupation cannot steal the joy of the Muslims on Eid day especially in occupied Jerusalem.

Sheikh Salah said, during the Eid sermon after Eid prayer which was conducted near the Al-Ghawi family tent in the Sheikh Jarrah suburb which has seen an intensified campaign of Judization this year: "We will not find more precious than this land, its earth or its treasures, nor could we find a more noble identity and we tell the occupation that they cannot weaken our resolve, we are staying here.."

He added that in each house in Sheikh Jarrah, in Eisaweyyeh, in Silwan, Ras al-Amoud, Wad al-Jouz and all over Jerusalem, there is special joy on the occasion of Eid, and that is something the occupation can never steal from us.

He said that Palestinians in Jerusalem and all over Palestine will defend their roots despite the hurdles put by the occupation we remain faithful to Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.

He stressed that Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians despite the occupation's plans and constant efforts to Judaize it, its identity will remain Islamic and Arab and will be restored to its rightful owners and not to occupation.

Meanwhile, thousands of worshipers flocked to the Aqsa Mosque from Jerusalem and 1948-occupied Palestinian areas to perform the Eid prayers at the Mosque.

JEDDAH, (PIC)-- Akmaludheen Ihsan Uglo, Organization of the Islamic Conference Secretary General, called on Muslims around the world on the occasion of Eid al-Adha to unite and defend their holy places, especially the Aqsa Mosque.

He also called on Muslims to help their brothers in restoring their usurped rights and provide them with the necessary means for a dignified life.

In a statement he issued on Friday Uglo said that the occasion of Eid al-Adha and its manifestations such as the gathering of millions of Muslims on Mount Arafat in Makkah, is a reminder for Muslims of their duty to be united.

"In unity lie the means of strength and victory and in discord lie the seeds of weakness and humiliation. Muslims today are in need today more than any other time to unite to confront the schemes being hatched against them, to defend their holy places, especially the blessed Aqsa Mosque, and to help their brothers regain their usurped rights and to provide them with the means for a dignified life," said Uglo in the statement.

Uglo also said that the Muslims feel sad while watching our Muslim world being torn by war and destruction in addition to extremism which has caused the Muslims dearly, while Islam, in fact, has nothing to do with those extremist trends, as it is the religion of peace and mercy.

He called on Muslim countries to work towards development at all levels and to utilize the human and natural resources of those countries to achieve real renaissance that will guarantee a bright future for the Muslims.

He concluded his statement by praying to Allah that future Eids will witness the Islamic ummah after it has restored its past glory and took its distinguished place amongst nations.
