This Thursday morning, thousands of worshippers were able to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque for Fajr prayer, marking the first time in forty days since the Israeli authorities imposed a closure. This event occurs amid rising tensions in the region.
Thousands of Palestinians performed the Fajr prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday after a closure lasting forty days due to the war on Iran, as reported by the Jerusalem Governorate. The Israeli authorities had closed religious sites since February 28 following the onset of a joint attack with the United States on Iran.
Approximately 3,000 worshippers performed the Fajr prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque after a 40-day closure, celebrating with joy and prayers. However, Israeli forces quickly disrupted these moments with assaults and arrests.
Fajr prayer is one of the most significant prayers in Islam, enhancing spirituality and connection with God. Muslims are committed to performing it at designated times, reflecting their religious dedication.
The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs in Jordan has announced a new 30-minute waiting period for the Fajr prayer, aimed at organizing prayer times and facilitating the experience for worshippers. This decision follows consultations with relevant parties to ensure timely attendance for prayers.
