Scholars and Religious Institutions Raise the Cry of Truth:
“Al-Aqsa at the Heart of the Conspiracy… The Ummah Must Rise”

Istanbul
– March 12, 2026 (22 Ramadan 1447 AH)

A group
of scholars and their religious institutions issued an urgent statement
yesterday, Thursday, condemning the closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by occupying
forces. They affirmed that the mosque is not merely a place of worship, but a
sacred right of the Islamic Ummah and an enduring Islamic endowment that cannot
be divided or relinquished.

Al-Aqsa in Imminent Danger

The
statement, titled “Al-Masra in Imminent Danger and at the Heart of the
Conspiracy,” emphasized that preventing prayers, Friday congregations, and
religious retreats constitutes a blatant attack on the freedom of worship and a
provocation to Muslims across the globe. It warned that the closure could
remain in effect indefinitely, exploiting regional events to impose new
realities on the ground.

The
scholars stressed that the occupying authorities are using these measures to
assert control and dominance over the holiest sites of Muslims in Palestine.
They affirmed that Al-Aqsa is neither a tool in political conflicts nor a
bargaining chip in regional disputes.

Scholars’ Cry to the Ummah

The
statement called upon the Islamic Ummah to remain vigilant and take decisive
action, urging mosque preachers and imams to highlight the severity of the
situation during the upcoming Friday sermons. It also encouraged ministries of
endowments, scholarly institutions, and civil society organizations to launch
public campaigns and activities to support and safeguard Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Furthermore,
the scholars called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and all Arab and
Muslim countries to fulfill their historical responsibilities by exerting
immediate and serious pressure on the occupying authorities to reopen the
mosque and halt all arbitrary measures against it.

They
also reaffirmed the duty of the Islamic Endowments Administration in the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as the custodian of the Islamic holy sites, to
exercise its sovereign authority in protecting the mosque and reopening it to
worshippers.

The
scholars appealed to the residents of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the 1948
territories, as well as anyone able to access Al-Aqsa, to restore and occupy
the mosque and to break through the imposed restrictions. They emphasized that
those unable to enter should pray at the nearest possible location to the
mosque, which grants them the full reward. They underscored that protecting
Al-Aqsa requires unity, collective awareness, and decisive action at all
levels.

The
statement concluded: “May God preserve the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, repel
the schemes of the aggressors, unite the Ummah in truth, honor, and
empowerment, and extinguish the flames of this war.”
