The Israeli Occupation ofAl-Quds
Britain occupied Jerusalem in 1917. Since then, it attempted
to empower the Jewish control over the city by increasing
the number of the Jewish immigrants, distributing Palestinian lands for them, and granting them high-level positions.
On the other side of the coin, it fought against the Palestinians and took their lands away from them. In 1948, Britain
executed its large scale conspiracy by delivering Jerusalem
to the Jews. At that time, the western part of Jerusalem was
under occupation. Later on, the entirety of Jerusalem fell into
the hands of the Jews when they took over the eastern part
in 1967. The Israeli army went into Al-Aqsa mosque shouting:
Mohammad is dead and left no men. What was meant by
Mohammad is the Prophet of Islam.
This city has always been considered holy for believers in God
throughout history. Many of the Prophet’s Companions and followers lived and died as martyrs, and were buried there. The
city continuously attracted attention in the era of Prophet Mohammad and that of Righteous Caliphs. Moreover, many monuments were built during the Umayyad Caliphate. The most significant of them was the Dome of the Rock. Jerusalem was also
important during the era of the Abbasid Caliphate, the Ayyubid
dynasty, the Mamluk Dynasty, and the Ottoman Empire.

Al-Quds’s location
Al-Quds (Jerusalem) is located near the very heart of Palestine
and lays east of the Mediterranean Sea. It is situated amidst
the foothills and peaks of the Judaean Mountains; 740 meters
above sea level. Moreover, it acts as the link between all Palestinian cities as it rests in between the key cities of Nablus, Jenin,
and Ramallah to the north, and furthermore lays between Hebron and Bethlehem. It is also spans the divide between Jericho
to the east and the cities along the western coast and seaboard.
The city is surrounded by mountains, some such as Mount
Scopus, Mount Tabor, and the Mount of Olives. At the crest of
those mountains, a great number of towns and villages rest,
some of which are Silwan, Al-Eizariya, Al-Issawiya, Shuafat
Sheikh, Jarrah, Beit Iksa, Lifta, and Hanina.
With respect to its size, Jerusalem is about 1 kilometer wide.
It is surrounded by solid walls
and a total of seven gates. They
are the Dung Gate, the Zion
Gate, Lion’s Gate, Herod’s Gate,
Damascus Gate, the New Gate,
and Jaffa Gate. The city is divided into four neighborhoods;
namely the Christian Quarter,
the Armenian Quarter, al-Sharaf
Neighborhood, and the Muslim
Quarter which is the biggest of
the four, and also where al-Aqsa
mosque may be found.
With the end of the 19th century and the advent
of the 20th century,
the city was expanded due to the
growth of its population. Since it’s occupation of the the
Old City in 1967, Israel has attempted
to expand the municipal boarders of
Jerusalem in order
to control the widest swath of land with the smallest possible
population. The Jerusalem Area was set to around 123 square
kilometers in 1995.
The Name of Al-Quds
Jerusalem has held a number of names throughout history. The
oldest one is Jebusto, referring to its inhabitant’s; the Jebusites,
who were one the Arab tribes that lived in the city some 4,000
years ago. It was also called Jerusalem, which means the city
of peace. Later, it was named the Aelia Capitolina. The Muslims retained the
use of the name Aelia until the Muslim
conquest arrived in
637 A.D, during the
time of the Caliph
Omar Bin Khattab.
At this point in time,
it was named Bayt
al-Maqdis.
Al-Quds Population
At the end of 2007, the number
of Arabs living in it was 257,000,
in contrast to a total of 489,000
Jews. The reason for this is the
continuation of the forced displacement policy against the
Jerusalemite Arab families by
stripping them of their identity
cards, destroying their houses,
and imposing huge taxes on
them. In return, the Jews are
encouraged to live in Jerusalem
and they are granted all facilities at the expense of the Arabs’
rights.The Christian and Muslim Arabs live side by side in their
sacred city. They both share life’s difficulties and suffer from racist policies, marginalization, and being deprived of their rights
for work, education, and so on, which are specifically adapted
by the occupation against the Arabs in Jerusalem.
The Religious Significance of Al-Quds
The Prophet Abraham immigrated to Jerusalem, in about 2000
BC. He lived there and built the Al-Aqsa Mosque 40 years after
the Grand Mosque was constructed in Mecca.
