Sana'a - Saba:
The General Mobilization Sector of the Capital Secretariat organized an expanded meeting on Saturday with scholars, preachers, intellectuals, and educational and social elites to launch the events commemorating Ashura (the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him) for the year 1447 AH, under the slogan "Far from us is humiliation."
During the inauguration, Yahya Al-Mahdi, a member of the Shura Council, emphasized that Ashura is a pivotal moment to rebuild the Islamic Ummah, correct its course, and advance on the path of jihad, dignity, honor, victory, and empowerment against enemies.
He noted that the Yemeni people stood with Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) in the past and today renew their allegiance and support for the banners of guidance, the Household of the Prophet, and the Islamic Ummah, following Imam Hussein’s path in confronting Zionist and American tyranny and supporting Gaza and Palestine.
Meanwhile, Khalid Al-Madani, the First Undersecretary of the Capital Secretariat, stressed the importance of commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and drawing lessons from the events of Karbala and the revolution of the Master of Martyrs, which stands as a revolution against tyranny and criminals.
He explained that Imam Hussein rose against the injustice and deviation that afflicted the Islamic Ummah, striving to reform it and defend the religion of God and truth.
Al-Madani pointed out that the enemies of Islam have deliberately spread falsehoods and distorted facts to keep the Ummah ignorant of Imam Hussein’s suffering, his stances, and the principles for which he sacrificed.
He added that Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) sacrificed his life, family, and companions to uphold the word of God, restore the Islamic Ummah to the right path, reject submission and humiliation, and confront the tyrants of his time.
For his part, Dr. Qais Al-Tal, head of the Guidance Sector in the Capital Secretariat, reviewed cultural directives for commemorating Ashura (the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him), who remains one of the greatest symbols of Islam.
He warned that the consequences of the Ummah’s neglect toward Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) were disastrous for the Islamic nation, cautioning against similar neglect regarding the oppression of the Palestinian people and holy sites.
Al-Tal noted that the Ummah lacks the Hussein-like stance of seeking justice against oppression and tyranny, urging everyone to adopt this courageous position against modern tyrants, including Zionists and Americans.
He highlighted that the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badruddin Al-Houthi, and the Yemeni people are confronting Zionist and American tyranny, just as Imam Hussein confronted the tyrants of his era.
In his remarks, cultural activist Ahmad Al-Khazan discussed the path of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), who rejected injustice and tyranny, refused compromise, submission, or humiliation, and led a revolution with immense sacrifices—offering his life, family, and companions for the sake of Islam.
He affirmed that the Islamic Ummah must follow Imam Hussein’s example in confronting the crimes and tyranny of Zionists and Americans, defending its causes and sanctities, and resisting all hostile plots and schemes.
