Hamas: "Islam will enter every house and will spread over the entire world"
Former Foreign Minister and Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar:
"[Foreign Minister Mahmoud] Al-Zahhar emphasized that the Islamic Movement’s [Hamas's] position concerning the problem of the liberation of Palestine is clear and said: "We have two important foundations: One is Quranic and the other is prophetic. The Quranic: The divine promise made in the chapter ‘Al-Israa’ is that we will liberate the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, 'and we will enter it as we have entered it the first time.' [paraphrasing Quran, 17:7 (The Night Journey)]. And the prophetic foundation is the message of the prophet Muhammad, that Islam will enter every house and will spread over the entire world.""
