Abstract
The struggle of Truth against falsehood and Virtue
against vice and so forth has not come to an end in
the history of Man. It continues to take different
forms in different epochs and countries. The
development of human consciousness both
inwardly and outwardly has put an enormous
responsibility on the shoulders of every person to
stand for Truth. A tragic failure in this struggle has
given rise to the problem of Jerusalem, which from
the times of Caliph Umar has been mainly a
sanctuary for the Muslims, Jews and Christians.
The exploitive forces of modernism, in flagrant
violation of the traditional principle of Justice
(Adl), have sowed seeds of disunity and as a
consequence have routed the centuries tested
principle of peaceful coexistence. It is a decisive
moment for us to reach out to the civil societies of
the world by sensitising them on the issue of
Jerusalem in the most befitting manner. We have to
reiterate the traditional lesson that there is no
spectator between the oppressor and the oppressed.
Humanity has to realise that only a solution based
on justice can be sustainable and guarantor of
world peace. Pseudo-geography shaped by foreign
interventions in the face of real history is
condemned to wither away. The Muslims rightful
claim on Jerusalem has to be acknowledged. AlQuds has to be rightfully restored to the Muslims,
who will regain its originality as the city of love.
The Israeli attempts to change the structure of the
city of al-Quds cannot change the structure of truth.
The nature of truth is akin to the nature of light. It
is destined to manifest itself.
