Many non-governmental organizations representing Islamic scholars across the Muslim world, including ITTIHADUL ULEMA and the International Union of Muslim Scholars, called on the Muslim Ummah and the whole world to prevent “extremist zionists” from storming Al Aqsa Mosque.

Zionist settlers’ groups had called for massive raids into the holy mosque on Sunday to celebrate the destruction of the temple, as zionists believe.

The scholars reiterated their support for the Palestinian people and called on worshipers to flock into the holy mosque to protect it.

“We are calling on the Palestinians in general and the people of Jerusalem and its environs in particular to mobilize the protection of Al-Aqsa and to secure the great honor. This is the obligation of every Muslim male and female because that is where the greatest reward,” the scholars said.

Palestinian resistance factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have also called on Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and 1948-occupied cities to protect Al Aqsa Mosque.

On Friday, the Palestine Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) called on the masses of the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Palestinians in the 1948 occupied lands, to make a pilgrimage to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Day of Arafa, and to be stationed in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, at its gates, and under its mihrab.
