The capital, Sana'a and al-Jennad area in Taiz province, is the most celebrated area of Yemen of the Friday of Rajab for the religious and historical status associated with the entry of Islam in Yemen and the arrival of Imam Ali bin ibn Abi Talib Karam Allah Wajhah (may Allah bless his face), the prophet's envoy, Al-Akram, (pbuh) to Sana'a and the venerable Sahabi Muadh bin Jabal, may Allah be pleased with him, to the area of al-Jennad.

Preparations are under way for the Commemoration of Friday of Rajab, where thousands of people from all over Yemen are flocking to the historic Al-Jennad Mosque to listen to sermons, hymns and prophetic prayers, and the remembrance workshops to commemorate this anniversary and to experience the atmosphere and history of Islam in Yemen.

The Grand Mufti of Yemen, The President of the Association of Yemeni Scholars, Sheikh Shamsuddin Sharafuddin, confirms the importance that Friday of Rajab is gaining on the anniversary of Yemenis' entry into Islam.

He said, "The Prophet (pbuh) have confirmed since the dawn of Islam that religion will have its word around the globe at the hands of men from the people of Yemen, when he said, " And he provides me (Allah) Kings of Ḥimyar or Ḥimyarite they come, they take God's money and they fight for God., and his saying that a group of my nation is still visible on the truth that does not harm them who disagreed with them and pointed with his hands For Yemen."

 

The sixth year of resilience:

The Yemeni people are celebrating Friday of Rajab, and they are on the threshold of the sixth year of steadfastness in the face of aggression, which requires strengthening the identity of the faith, which today constitutes a remarkable character among Yemenis, Sheikh Sharafuddin said.

Sheikh Saleh al-Kholani, undersecretary of the Ministry of Endowments, explained to the Qur'an's memorize sector that Friday of Rajab is largely a holiday for Yemenis, and people show signs of joy by wearing clothes, exchanging greetings and kinship ties, sharing visits and slaughtering sacrifices.

He pointed out the need to commemorate Friday of Rajab and to bring out the joy of this anniversary, as an expression of the joy of the people of Yemen by entering the religion of God as groups.

He said, "Allah almighty and his Prophet, honored the Yemenis with two great messengers, the first imam Ali bin Abi Talib may Allah bless his face, who arrived in Sana'a and informed the people of Yemen of the message sent by the Prophet, the Yemenis answered his call and declared their entry into Islam, say the Almighty, "When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest, And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes, Then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever accepting of repentance." to God Almighty has spoken the truth and The Second Muadh bin Jabal, who arrived at al-Jennad.

People of Faith:

"It is enough for the people of Yemen to honor that they are the people of faith and Islam, they welcomed the immigrants with all their welcome, and this Friday is a feast to get Yemenis out of darkness, ignorance, injustice and the clutches of the ignorant to the light, faith, piety, love, mercy and lights of Islam," sheikh al-Kholani said.

He pointed out that the first Yemenis considered the first Friday of Rajab a holiday in which they would improve the orphans, give children and distribute gifts and sweets to them. He stressed the importance of moving the Yemenis in charity to the families of the martyrs and the wounded and the families of the Al-Mourabitoun.

Victory Gate:

The undersecretary of the Ministry of Awqaf considered Friday of Rajab, the gate of victory for the Yemeni people, goodness, faith and satisfaction to Allah Almighty and disbelief in the leviathan of America and Israel and their tools. "We must rejoice and face the deal of the century aimed at settling the Palestinian cause," he said.

While Sheikh Alawi bin Sahl bin Aqeel pointed out that Islam entered Yemen after God blessed his Prophet Muhammad with the victories over the Infidels of Quraysh, the conquest of Mecca, the beginning of the spread of the Islamic da'wa, and the light of truth and guidance.

"The Prophet (pbuh) sent the Sahaba to areas of the Arabian Peninsula to teach people about their religion, their world, the holy Qur'an and the cleansing Sunnah, and the people of Yemen were among the first to answer the call of Islam and enter the religion of Allah Regiments," he said.

Establishment of the Great Mosque:

"The Prophet (pbuh) sent Ali bin Abi Talib to Sana'a to invite Yemenis to the religion of God and worked on the establishment of the Great Mosque in Sana'a, and he sent Muadh bin Jabal to Mekhlaf al-Jennad, where he founded the Mosque of al-Jennad and Abu Musa al-Ashari to Mekhlaf Tahama and built Al-Asha'ir Mosque in Zabid."

He pointed out that the prophet's sending to a constellation of scholars and companions who were the closest to him and the most knowledgeable about the origins of religion, is the high status of the people of Yemen at the prophet's place, where the people of Yemen were the pillar and power of Islam.

Abdul Wahab al-Mahdi, assistant undersecretary of the Ministry of Awqaf, said it is important to commemorate Yemenis' entry into Islam and to raise awareness of its importance and status and to promote it in the hearts of generations.

He also noted the need to take advantage of the significance of this anniversary by strengthening resilience in the face of aggression and thwarting its plans aimed at obliterating the identity, history and civilization of the Yemeni people.

Al-Mahdi said Yemenis are proud to commemorate the anniversary, as Yemen has been the incubator of the Islamic da'wa and that Yemenis have defended it to this day.

A whiff of faith:

Sheikh Moqbel al-Kaddahi, secretary general of the Awaqf Council, explained that Rajab's month for Yemenis has a historical flavor, a whiff of faith, Islamic, Muhammadiyah and Qur'anic.

He said, "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib may Allah bless his face came to Yemen which he never bring out a sword, where the Yemenis entered into the religion of Allah, and he sent a message to the Messenger of God and said, "O Messenger, all of Hamdan embraced Islam, the Prophet (pbuh) called and said, " Allahumma reunion them and help them on who antagonism them and don't break their forks."

Revival of identity:

Sheikh Al-Kadhi considered the revival of Friday of Rajab as a revival of the Yemeni faith identity and the human values that characterized the people of Yemen as described by the Prophet (pbuh) and his god, "Belief is Yemenite and Wisdom is Yemenite and Jurisprudence is Yemenite."

For his part, Sheikh Hammoud al-Ahnoumi referred to the virtues of the people of Yemen and the evidence and the dimensions of faith and history tell this. He pointed out that the celebration of the anniversary of the entry of the people of Yemen to Islam is an expression of the identity of Yemenis and their association with the authentic sources of Islam from the companions of Mustafa (peace be upon him) and the people of his home, from Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, Muadh bin Jabal and others may Allah bless them all.

The virtues of the people of Yemen in the Qur'an and Sunnah:

The Sheikh touched on the virtues of the people of Yemen in the Holy Qur'an, where he said, "And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.

He pointed to the virtues of the people of Yemen in the Sunnah, as the prophet(pbuh) said, " in what Ibn Abbas said, may God bless him, " The people of Yemen have come to you and they are more gentle and soft-hearted….etc.

  Friday of Rajab is a day of difference for Yemenis:

For his part, Sheikh Ali Mohsen al-Matari, considered Friday of Rajab a difference in the history of the Yemeni people, who voluntarily surrendered and responded to the call of the Prophet.

"Yemenis glorify The Month of Rajab and the first Friday of Rajab, because it is the first Friday they prayed in Islam in Yemen, so to rejoice in the greatness of religion and to feel the grace of Islam, they made Friday of Rajab a feast to communicate, kinship, joy and approach God in good deeds " he said.

Sheikh Al-Matari said that the identity of the faith is the authentic identity of the Yemeni people, which expresses its close association with the faith and its practical affiliation with Islam and the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Adnan al-Junaid, president of the Islamic Mystic Forum, explained that Yemenis were the first to be Muslim and joined the ranks of al-Mustapha Individuals and groups and that Islam spread through Yemeni people in the world, and they are the army of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

The Islam of Yemenis in Friday of Rajab did not represent the first entry of Yemenis into Islam, as history tells about prominent figures and delegations from Yemen who embraced Islam early.

He said that a man who passed through the Prophet before the emigration, and he is from Arhab of Hamdan, named Abdullah bin Qais bin Um Ghazal, the Prophet (pbuh) offered him Islam and he responded. And the Messenger of God asked him: Do your people have strength, defense? Abdullah ibn Qais said to him: Yes, and he asked the prophet to go to his people and promised him next hajj season, and then he came out of Mecca wanting his people, and when he returned to his people, a man from Bani Zubayd killed him.  

It was also reported that Qais ibn Malik ibn Asad ibn Al-Arhabi came to the Prophet of God while he was in Mecca, and said to the Prophet, "I have come to you to believe in you and to support you, and the Prophet of Allah has offered islam to him and he responded."

Another delegation came from Hamdan to the Prophet and was entered Islam on his hands, and another position was obtained from the Islam of the Aws and Khazraj, their historical role and their support for the Prophet.

Great status:

In this way, Yemenis have generally occupied a great status in the Messenger of God's (bpuh), whether it is about al-Ansar or the Yemeni people themselves, and that's why he specialized and loves the people of this country the most and they are the most generous people to Ali bin Abi Talib who was an envoy before him invites them to Islam and to leave idolatry.

It was reported that When Ali bin Abi Talib arrived in Sana'a, he orators in the Hamdan tribes and met in a place called today al-Halaqah market north of the Great Mosque in old Sana'a, and they were influenced by his sermon, and they entered into Islam, and all of Hamdan embraced Islam in one day.

At that point, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib may Allah bless his face wrote to the Prophet about their Islam, "The prophet fell prostrate, then he raised his head and said peace on Hamdan", and the people of Yemen continue to embrace Islam as troops.
