Campaign Launched to Dust, Clean Al-Aqsa Mosque Ahead of Ramadan
Mohammad Arabli, head of the Arab Aid Workers, said it is for the first time that a number of organization in al-Quds launch such a campaign.
He added that so far more than 400 have volunteered to join the campaign and help in dusting and cleaning the holy site, Arab48 website reported.
They include young and old people, women and young adults, he said, adding that more people are expected to join.
They will help in washing and cleaning the walls, gates, courtyards, and windows of the holy mosque and Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, he noted.
Ramadan (which is likely to start on March 23 this year) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity giving and self–accountability for Muslims around the world.
The Quran was revealed to the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) heart in this month.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast (abstain from foods and drinks) from sunrise to sunset.
They also devote a considerable amount of time during this month to reading and contemplating the Quran.
