Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Al-Aqsa Haqquna!
Her voice was loud, her screams were thunderous, her emotions were soaring, her energy burst and penetrated the heart of those who heard her. A girl is showing off, reading a poem about Palestine in a competition.
Meanwhile, in one corner of the room, a young mother focused her eyes on the stage, as if she didn’t want to move and look away from that high place. It can be seen that the mother shed tears of pride watching her baby who was performing.
Yarashima Safura, a grade 3 student at MI Al-Fatah Cikampek, was reading a poem by his mother about Palestine. The spectators couldn’t stop applauding, both proud and touched by their appearance, the children participating in the competition.

Yarashima was not alone, dozens of students at the Islamic Elementary School (SD) level also showed off, reciting poetry, as if they were prestigious artists. Without being awkward and shy anymore, they presented extraordinary performances to the viewers and the jury.
However, it wasn’t just his appearance that moved the audience. Furthermore, they all have a glimmer of hope, that the participants will instill their love for Palestine and Al-Aqsa, and that one day they will become part of the fighters for the liberation of this noble mosque.
Palestine is indeed a world concern. The reason is, until now, the country is the only region that is not yet independent. Zionist Israel straddles its land, evicts its occupants, demolishes people’s homes and controls its natural resources.
Here is one of the poems read by the contestants:
