For many years, I haven't left home without reading Al-Quds newspaper. My relationship with it began in 1984, with a boy at the entrance to An-Najah University. He was in the eighth grade, calling out: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem today." Then he said: "Uncle, uncle, what do you think about buying a copy?" I looked at him and said yes.
The next day, he was standing at the university entrance and called out, “Professor, professor, today’s newspaper, would you like a copy?” I said yes, took a copy, and it was Thursday. Then he said, “Can I deliver the newspaper to your home tomorrow?” I said yes, thank you. Our relationship has continued through this young man to this day, even though his children are now at university and he still brings me the newspaper every day.
At that time, there were three distributors in Nablus city center: Abu Ayyash, Abdul Haq, and Muhammad Amira. My relationship with Al-Quds newspaper continued, and I began sending my articles to the newspaper. My first article was in 1984, titled "Education: Where to?" Then there was an article about Al-Quds Open University, which was being prepared. I still write various articles on a weekly basis about education and learning, and I enjoy reading Al-Quds newspaper from twenty years ago.
Al-Quds newspaper has been distinguished by its independence and responsible opinion, welcoming all ideas without bias. Despite technological advancements and the shift to electronic media, Al-Quds newspaper continues to lead the print scene with its professionalism, patriotism, resilience in the face of change, and diversity of topics in terms of both source and content.
I cannot but quote verses of poetry published by Professor Dr. Moataz Al-Qutb in Al-Quds newspaper on Wednesday, May 21:
Seventy years and she is still determined to shout to the earth that Jerusalem belongs to the Arabs
Al-Quds newspaper: Today, you are our flag. We follow you to escape from lies.
Oh bouquet that gathered what we needed of politics, enlightenment and literature
The press is like a flowering garden, and the colors of the flowers in Jerusalem are amazing.
The mother of newspapers depicts our world and has accompanied people throughout history and eras.
Every day, the talk of Jerusalem comforts us with the love of the people of Jerusalem, the people of knowledge and wisdom.
How many times have you accompanied us in the morning on our journey, bringing our coffee like cakes and dates?
.........
My relationship with Al-Quds newspaper continues through this young man to this day, even though his children are now studying at university and he still brings me the newspaper daily.
