🇵🇸 Like every year, the AL-QUDS DAY in QOM, Iran was simply outstanding and energizing. 🇮🇷 🗣 Countless people poured out on the Shuhada Ave. that connects the Haram of Sayyida Ma'sumah (A) and the Musallah Al-Quds. For as far as one could see, it was an ocean of justice-seeking, insightful, believing men, women, youth, and children expressing their solidarity with the oppressed nation of Palestine 🇵🇸. Many elderly were witnessed on wheelchairs and even crutches. 👨‍🦽👨‍🦯 🩼 Subhan-Allah. 🚶‍♂️This was the first-ever year where the English speaking International Students of Qom (SoQ) came together to form a rally of their own and marched towards and joined the Main Rally. 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. ✊ 🇮🇷 The local Iranian population welcomed this initiative a great deal and appreciated the strong presence of non-Iranians in the rally. Countless people expressed their gratitude towards the international students' participation in this rally. Some of the comments we received: ✨ "The entire world should stand against Zionism. And this organized presence of the English speaking international students is simply amazing." ✨ "Due to the international media blackout against us, we don't get coverage. Your presence shows us that our voice is reaching outside of Iran." ✨ "You guys show us that we are not alone in this battle against the oppressors." ✨ "The Al-Quds Day is not specific to Iranians. You guys proved it!" ✨ "You may be a small group, but you give us hope that the message of Wilayah is being received by you as well." ✨ "Your presence shows that the message of the Islamic Revolution is reaching far and wide." ✨ "Your organized rally is a proof that our resistance against the arrogant powers is successful and victorious." Many such comments were given to us by the local Iranian crowd. Alhamdo-lillah. 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, Canada, US, UK, Dubai, Tanzania, Qatar, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and English-speaking Iranians. Thank you for showing the strength and unity. And Jazak-Allah for continuously shouting the slogans while you were in the state of fasting. Taqabbal-Allah that you worshipped during the Night of Qadr and right the next morning you joined us with all that spirituality and purity attained during the night. This is precisely the lesson we learn from Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (A). This is what distinguishes Islamic spirituality from fake spirituality. May Allah (swt) accept your fasting and your I'badaat. Ameen. ~ Students of Qom (SoQ) 🌐 www.studentsofqom.org 📱 telegram.me/studentsofqom 📱 https://eitaa.com/studentsofqom 📱 https://chat.whatsapp.com/DMICLq3eX9iKhSSh8t8JvA

Dear believers, Salāmun Alaykum: Congratulations on the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Fitr. May Allah accept your fasting and your acts of worship. Here at SoQ, last night we had our final Iftār Program of the holy month of Ramadān. This year, we had 7 programs in English during this holy month of Ramadān. In addition, we arranged an Al-Quds Day Rally (from SoQ center to the Main Rally) and a lock-in (for SoQ volunteer families only). Thank you to all of you who participated in these programs on regular basis. We know that it is not easy to get up closer to the Iftār time and go participate in a program. May Allah accept your and your family's attendance and support. We would like to thank our Qurān reciters for each program. Our brothers from Nigeria proudly took the lead in making arrangements for the Qurān reciters for each program. May Allah bless you all and accept your beautiful and powerful recitations. Thank you to our youths for reciting for us the Daily Ramadān Duā in Arabic, Farsi, English, and Urdu. Thank you to our young brother and sisters for writing and reciting the poetry for Imam Hasan ibne Ali (A), Amīrul Mominīn Imam Ali (A), and Al-Quds Day - all in English. Thank you and Jazāk-Allah to the brothers who arranged for and recited Noha/Matam. May Allah accept the efforts of our emcee who made sure that each program runs smoothly and that you get those important inserts and announcements throughout. We thank our media team which records, edits, and uploads these programs on www.studentsofqom.org. We thank our kids in Salāt team who made all the on-time arrangements. We would like to thank all of the esteemed scholars who graciously accepted our invitation to come and speak to the community of believers. The insightful speeches provided us all with an opportunity to contemplate, introspect, reflect, and feel compelled to act and make revolutionary ammends in our thoughts and habits. The speeches were not only academic, intellectual, and spiritual in nature but they also highlighted the socio-political dimension of Islam and shed light on the plight of the Muslim Ummah. Once again, may Allah bless our guest speakers for this year, Insha-Allah. We would like to thank our food team for ensuring that the Iftār and the dinner are fresh, warm, and ready to be served right after the Salāt. May Allah truly bless you and reward you for serving the guests of Allah. We would like to request you all to pray for the tireless efforts of SoQ volunteer families and individuals. We wouldn't have been able to host you all if it were not for our dedicated volunteers. These volunteers did their best to serve the guests of Allah in every possible way. Let's pray for their continued Tawfeeq and that Allah accept their tireless efforts for the cause. Please forgive our shortcomings and deficiences, insha-Allah. We tried to make the best arrangements we could. Last but not the least, we would like to sincerely thank all our donors and sponsors who donated for the arrangements of these programs - Iftār, dinner, juice, fruits, tea, coffee, sweets, etc. May Allah accept your contribution in HIS way. If there are any suggestions or inputs, please feel free to contact us. If you'd like to contribute to SoQ in any way, please reach out to any of our volunteer families. Let us all pray for hastening the reappearance of Imam Zamān (ATFS) and that our beloved Imam (ATFS) is pleased with these humble efforts. Insha-Allah. ~ Students of Qom (SoQ) 🌐 www.studentsofqom.org 📱 telegram.me/studentsofqom 📱 https://eitaa.com/studentsofqom 📱 https://chat.whatsapp.com/DMICLq3eX9iKhSSh8t8JvA
