In the Name of Allāh,
the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Praise is due to Allāh, Lord of the worlds, may the blessings and peace be upon our master Muḥammad, the last of prophets, on his family, and all his companions.
Resolution No. 118 (12/12) al-Quds al-Sharif
(Jerusalem)
The Council of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, holding its 12th session in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on 25 Jumādā al-Ākhirah – 1 Rajab 1421h (23–28 September 2000),
Having followed the aggressive statements and unfair suggestions by Israeli officials regarding al-Quds al-Sharif (Jerusalem),
Resolves
- Jerusalem constitutes a part of the Muslim creed. It concerns Muslims worldwide because this city witnessed the miracle of Isra and Miraj (Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey and Ascention to the Seven Skies) mentioned in the Holy Quran.
- The fact that Jerusalem is an Islamic city is well underlined in the Quran and can never be revoked, changed or amended. There is no room for midway solutions in this regard.
- Al-Aqsa Mosque is for Muslims only, and Jews have no connection with this It is, therefore, necessary to beware of the dangers of violat- ing the sanctity of this Mosque.
The Israeli occupation authorities are held responsible for any offensive action that may take place against it. The status of Al-Aqsa Mosque is far above all negotiations and reconciliation efforts.
- A just peace and stability in the region can never be achieved until Zionist Jews refrain from occupying Jerusalem and its Holy Mosque and return Palestine to its people.
Recommendation
The participants in this session call on the leaders and peoples of the Muslim and Arab world to defend al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque and support its inhab-
itants, who have already engaged in the struggle, to stop the judaization and internationalization of the city, which will never be accepted.
Indeed, Allāh is the Giver of success.
