The holy land where time passes silently, where the scent of the breath of the prophets can still be felt in the air, and where every brick also tells the lament of centuries-old history and the song of hope. This is the place where morning is not just the name of the rising of sun, but the beginning of a new spiritual light. A light that tears through the darkness of hearts and reaches deep within.
In this blessed atmosphere, “AlMustafa Welfare Trust” has lit a lamp to spread the light of the Holy Quran, which does not just spread light but also awakens hearts, awakens souls and refreshes the flame of faith. This Quran Circle, established in the mercy of the first Qibla in (Al-Quds) is not just an educational activity, but a spiritual movement. A silent revolution, which knocks on hearts through divine verses without noise and commotion and makes man aware of his true place.
The foundation of this sacred mission was laid in a moment that can be written in golden letters in the pages of history. “AlMustafa Welfare Trust” made this agreement seven years ago with the Jordanian royal family was not just a formal document, but a spiritual covenant. A promise that the light of the Quran would never be allowed to dim. This moment is also witnessed by figures who are part of history themselves, such as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordanian Prince Hussein, whose presence gave added dignity to the covenant.
This Quran Circle teaches the Holy Quran in seven recitations. Each recitation descends into the hearts with a new level, a new dimension, a new impact. Here, learners do not just read words but are immersed in their meanings. Each verse creates a new light within them; each letter leaves an imprint on their hearts. Those who come here do not remain mere students but become trustees of this light that is to be passed on to generations.
But the real beauty of this mission is not limited to education alone. It also embodies the aspect of service that reflects the true spirit of humanity. The people living around the first Qiblah. Those who are struggling with the hardships of poverty. They are provided with vouchers of two thousand dollars. These vouchers are not just financial assistance, but a protection of self-respect. They are given the authority to buy things according to their needs, so that not only their needs are met, but also local businesses survive. Thus, this system is not just charity, but a manifestation of a complete economic wisdom.
These residents of Jerusalem are not just residents. They are the guardians of this land, of this faith, of this history. They are offered millions of dollars to leave their homes, but they refuse. Because they know that their homes are not a collection of bricks and stones, but an ideology, an identity, a resistance. They are part of a silent war that aims to keep the spirit of this holy land alive.
They are pressured, there are attempts to expel them, conspiracies are hatched to break their morale. But they remain steadfast with the first Qibla, with its walls, with its calls to prayer. There they offer their prayers, there they shed tears, and there they keep their hopes alive. Their lives are a living picture of patience, perseverance, and faith.
The verse of the Holy Quran, which describes the greatness of this land, shakes hearts,
سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْٓ اَسْرٰى بِعَبْدِهٖ لَيْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا الَّذِيْ بٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهٗ لِنُرِيَهٗ مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا ۭ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ
This verse does not just describe an event, but rather a declaration of the spiritual greatness of this land. This is a place that Allah Almighty has surrounded with His mercy, where blessings descend at every moment, and where a spiritual connection is established between the earth and the sky.
The atmosphere of the Quran Circle is filled with the echo of verses from morning to evening. Here, not only knowledge is imparted, but characters are carved, here not only words are taught, but the meaning of life is explained. This is the light of the “Book of Revolution”, the light of the “Book of Guidance”, which is spreading from the hearts and spreading in the air and enveloping everyone who comes close to it.
The people here not only learn the Quran but also take care of the first Qibla. They are its servants and protectors. Their lives are an example. Of faith, sacrifice, and perseverance. There is certainly fatigue in their eyes, but there is a light in their hearts that is enough to defeat any darkness.
This project is not just a project, but a prayer. A prayer that comes from the hearts and reaches the heavens. We wish that Muslims around the world become part of this mission, spread this light further, strengthen this lamp so that its light does not dim until the Day of Judgment.
Because if this world exists, the light of the Quran must also exist, and as long as the first Qiblah stands, this candle of faith must also remain lit.
