With the  aim of creating cohesion and solidarity between Muslims and people, the gathering discussed important issues related to Al-Quds and the need to support it, and emphasized the role of the people in implementing appropriate programs on this important day.  Such events, especially in the current situation where the Islamic world is facing various challenges and threats, are of great importance in strengthening solidarity among Muslims and preserving the Palestinian causes.

Prof. Kasa explained how Imam Khomeini (RA) reminded the Muslims of the world of the importance of supporting the Palestinian people by declaring the last Friday of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, and introduced this action as one of the pillars of the struggle against Israeli oppression and aggression in Palestine They did.

Dr. A. Sanda, a physician and public health expert, examined the humanitarian and political dimensions of the Gaza crisis in the form of questions and answers, and gave a speech on "Al-Aqsa Storm and the reason for the cessation of the Gaza genocide." Analysing the health and humanitarian situation in Gaza and the challenges in the ceasefire efforts, Dr. Sanda stressed the need for greater support for the Palestinian people and global efforts to stop the violence.

Gana raised  the topic of "Imam Khomeini's declaration of the last Friday of Ramadan as the International Quds Day" in the Kanwari language, one of the  local languages of Nigeria. He explained the significance of this historic declaration of Imam Khomeini and explained how this decision called on the world to take action in support of Palestine and Al-Quds Al-Sharif and became a symbol of resistance in the country.
