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 ask God Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels. | 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.

• Al-Quds Day is not only for Quds; it is the day for Islam; it is the day for Islamic government. It is the day on which the flag for Islamic government must be raised.
