What is Aqsa week?

Masjid Al-Aqsa is one of Islam's three holy sites. It is a symbol of unity, heritage and resistance for the Palestinian people and Muslims worldwide. This gives an idea of the level of importance Masjid Al-Aqsa holds. Aqsa Week is a global initiative to highlight the importance of Masjid Al-Aqsa, thereby reinforcing devotion and love for it. During this crucial week we encourage everyone to try and go the extra mile in their efforts to help raise awareness of Masjid Al-Aqsa. Read more about Aqsa Week.
