أعوذ بالله من قطع أواصر الأخوة الإسلامية بألا يسع دعائي حال مسلم تكالبت على نفسه الهموم واحتشدت في قلبه الأحزان وتضافرت عليه المخاوف ..يشكو ضعفه وقلة حيلته وهوانه على الناس ما بين بعيد يتجهمه أو عدو يملك أمره.. أعوذ بالله من تغافل جراح أخواننا في فلسطين و السودان ولبنان وكل بلاد المسلمين.
I seek refuge in Allah from severing the bonds of Islamic brotherhood by neglecting to include in my prayers a Muslim overwhelmed by worries, whose heart is heavy with sorrows, and who is besieged by fears... complaining of his weakness, helplessness, and insignificance in the eyes of others, whether from a distant person who frowns upon him or an enemy who holds power over him. I seek refuge in Allah from being heedless of the wounds of our brothers in Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, and all the lands of the Muslims.

khan al-umdan (caravanserai of the columns) in acre is one of palestine's best-preserved caravanserai, a type of inn historically common across asia, north africa, the caucuses, and southern europe, especially for travelers along trade routes like the silk road. it was built in 1785 on the order of ottoman governer ahmed pasha al-jazaar (who also has a mosque named for him nearby). the clock tower was added in 1906 to celebrate the silver jubilee of sultan abdul hamid II.
khan al-umdan served as more than just an inn - due to its proximity to acre's port, it also served as a spot for merchants to store and sell wares. it also gained importance to the baha'i faith, as it served as a site where baha'ulla (founder of the religion, he was imprisoned in acre later in life) received guests, and held a baha'i school. many palestinians found refuge inside the khan during the nakba, but were later forcibly expelled and evicted up to the 1980s.
it continues to be used for events today, but not as often as it used to be. despite being a popular tourist attraction and designated as a world heritage site, the caravanserai has also been facing further neglect due to gentrification and has also been in danger of being dispossesed for quite some time now.
