Dozens of them gathered at the door of Hatta, one of the doors of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, about two hours before dawn call to prayer .. Their feet did not step back, and waited for the door to open to embrace their hearts, whose hearts were deprived of it for 69 days, after closing it in their faces to prevent the spread of the Corona virus.
At 3:00 a.m. the door was opened for them and the director of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Omar Al-Kiswani, the guards and volunteers greeted them. And that adorned her face with a smile that tears.
In terms of Hatta, Al-Jazeera has documented the moment when the vocalist entered the Jerusalem vocalist Amir Dana, who long prostrated before he got up, trying to control himself, but his tears were too strong to be able to hold her.
This young man, who speaks and sings smoothly, seemed stuttering, unable to express his feelings towards the reopening of the mosque, expressing his feelings in a sentence, then silence and repeating the supplication, "O Lord, Al-Aqsa remains always open and popular with his loved ones, his family and his people."
The house of the worshipers and their comfort.
Let's get famous for videos that he chants in the flanks of Al-Aqsa, and after its closure he was keen to chant on the historical wall and on the outlooks that overlook the mosque, but none of these videos did not heal his mistake, so he stayed up tonight, practicing a chant, “O servants of God. He does not respond, "and before he ran toward the tribal chapel, he told Al-Jazeera Net that he would register it today at Al-Aqsa Mosque on the occasion of reopening it to the worshipers.
It was noticeable during the tour of Al-Jazeera Net in Al-Aqsa square, to the Jerusalemites' eagerness to take pictures of the mosque and for themselves as if they were entering it for the first time, and this scene brought to mind hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from all the West Bank governorates rushing to take pictures during the blessed month of Ramadan in the mosque.
The number of those who arrived to perform the Fajr prayer ranged between three to four thousand worshipers, including those who used to visit the mosque on a daily basis before the closure, and today was keen to adhere to wearing a muzzle and bring the prayer rug from his home, and some new faces do not persist in praying in his wards, but the long closure ignited love The place and belonging to it in their hearts.
On a chair in front of the tribal chapel, the elderly Jerusalemite, Majed and Zouz, sits with his eyesight among the worshipers, without neglecting to observe his two grandsons, who were keen to accompany them to perform the first prayer at Al-Aqsa after the close.
He said to Al-Jazeera Net, "I felt, as soon as I entered Al-Aqsa, that the pulse returned to my heart after stopping it since the closure of Al-Aqsa in our faces ... something has passed through my body .. Now I feel calm and calm and I am not afraid of infection with the virus and I will continue to perform all prayers here."
The prayer was held after urging the sheikhs who prayed for divergence and adhering to the necessary instructions to prevent infection with the virus, and as soon as the prayer was established, calmness prevailed and everyone was ravished, and many tears poured out when the imam's throat started to pray in the second rak'ah of the first dawn prayer after a long absence.
Exceptional spirituality
Cats of the Al-Aqsa Mosque moved among the worshipers as if they welcomed them, tweeted birds and flew with darkness and the first white streaks appeared in the sky.
Since 2000, as soon as Al-Maqdisi Zuhdi Alian returned from America to live in Jerusalem, he did not stop performing the Fajr prayer at Al-Aqsa, and he returned today after the absence of two and a half months, and from that he said that he did not expect to be deprived of a day of prayer in the mosque because of a new virus because he used to deprive Because of the occupation only.
"I always enter from the door of Hatta and walk on a certain path to reach the tribal chapel. Today, from the depth of my happiness and my surprise, I walked on another path ... I am still in pain to pass the month of Ramadan without entering the maximum that I spend most of my time during the holy month."
The Jerusalemite journalist, Sondos Aweis, was one of the first to arrive at the mosque, and she did not stop talking about social platforms about her longing for him, and she intensified this during the last hours, so she wrote:
"Thinking is the master of the situation, after more than two months after we were deprived of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and from our prayers, our home and our sanctuary, what will the meeting be like? Shu Rah (What) do we do when we open the doors, Shu will work (How are we) the moment of entering Al-Aqsa Mosque? We will cry (we will cry) And we worship a long prostration of thanksgiving, we will run (and we will run) in the arenas, and consider every stone, every corner, every tree, every circumference, and every slab.
"We will walk (we will walk) around the dome, go around each square, and pray in every square of Al-Aqsa and imagine with every stone a picture, there will be (will be) comfort, there will be (will) be happiness and return the smile that has deprived us (that deprived us) From it more than two months, there is a heart that will return (will return) the pulse to the heart and return to our soul. Life will come back, Oqsana, we will return for an hour (it is only an hour) .. back. "
Sondos exhumed her memory and talked about the last day that she prayed at the maximum before the close, and said, "We prayed dinner and we sobbed ... The voice of our crying filled the chapel, the door of mercy, and I said to my friends, I wish I died before hearing this news .. My whole life is at the maximum and I cannot live a single moment without its air and water And his stones and chapels. "
Sundus Al-Aqsa has left her day with the voice of the young men chanting "To make you the most heroic, we all have a fever." Past.
The young journalist intends to spend her day in the mosque to inspect every inch of it, but she will not be blessed without disturbances, as extremist temple groups have mobilized since the days of their supporters to mass storm the Al-Aqsa today and establish thanksgiving prayers inside it under the leadership of the rabbis.
