Sana'a - Saba:
The capital Sana'a witnessed on Sunday a major mass march on Airport Street to commemorate the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him (Ashura) under the slogan "Heehat minna al-Dhuleh".
The crowds emphasized that the Yemeni people's commemoration of this painful anniversary and the great tragedy in the history of the nation is based on their affiliation and identity of faith, and their firm loyalty to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and his pure family.
They renewed the pledge of allegiance to Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, adherence to the values and principles for which he sacrificed, and to draw lessons from his positions, courage and sacrifices in the face of the forces of tyranny , arrogance, America and Israel.
They emphasized that Yemen's position in supporting the brothers in Gaza and Palestine represents an extension of the approach of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, and the values and principles for which he sacrificed for the sake of supporting the religion, the oppressed , the underdog, rejecting humiliation and submission to the enemies of the nation.
The crowds reaffirmed that Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is a great symbol of Islam and does not belong to any sect or denomination, and that the anniversary of Ashura represents a revolution in the face of tyrants and arrogant people.
They chanted the chant of innocence against God's enemies, and Hussein's slogan, "Hehat al-Dhulha", and chanted the phrases "Ashura is the day of the free people... it shook the thrones of the disbelievers", "Our cry at all times... Hehat al-Dhulha Hehat", "Gaza is the Karbala of the age... a grievance with victory", "In Gaza or Karbala... the same pride and honor", "Those who supported the son of God's Messenger... they never let down Gaza and God", (Ashura is the day of the free people...).
They also chanted, "Hussein in every time, a revolution in the face of tyranny," "Hussein did not stand up except to preserve Islam," "In Gaza or Karbala, the sincerity of loyalty is manifested," "O Gaza, O Palestine, with you all the Yemenis," and "Jihad, jihad, all the people are ready.
The gathered masses emphasized that the brothers in Gaza and Palestine are living the Karbala of the era as Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, lived it. They affirmed the continuation of general mobilization, and raising readiness to face any escalation or Zionist aggression.
They also renewed support and authorization for the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, to take the appropriate options to deter aggression and support the Palestinian people. They also reaffirmed Yemen's firm position in supporting Gaza until the aggression is stopped and the siege is lifted.
At the rally, the Mufti of Yemen, Allama Shamsuddin Sharafuddin, emphasized that the commemoration of this great occasion is not a revival of sectarianism, racism or regionalism, as some like to call it, but the revival of a pillar of religion and a methodology established by God Almighty as a basis for the establishment of this religion, which is the command of good and prohibition of evil.
He pointed out that Imam Hussein wanted to break the barrier of fear and dispel the state of subservience that afflicted the nation, and to revive what was established by the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, as an Islamic principle and a genuine faith concept, which is the legitimacy of going out against the oppressor and confronting the unjust sultan, after the Umayyad regime worked for two decades to propagate the claim that it is forbidden to leave the ruling regime, even if it is unjust, corrupt, arrogant, used paid scholars and others for it.
The Mufti of Yemen explained that this dangerous culture would not have been able to be blown up or changed, if it had not been confronted by men the size of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, and if that sacrifice had not been the size of the sacrifice that Imam Hussein sacrificed.
He pointed out that Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, explained the reason for his departure after he saw the injustices , abominations, and after he saw the change and transformation in the nation of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), after the great sacrifices made by the Messenger of Allah, the Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, and the Prophet's noble companions for the sake of this religion.
He pointed out that Imam Hussein followed the approach of the Prophet, which is what God Almighty commanded his messengers and other believers, which is to enjoin good and forbid evil. He pointed out that Imam Hussein explained the reason for his departure when he addressed the people, "I heard my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, say that whoever sees an unjust sultan who violates the sanctity of Allah's sanctuary, breaks the covenant of Allah's covenant and violates the year of Allah's Messenger, who acts among the people in iniquity and aggression, then does not change him by word or deed unless it is right for Allah to enter his entrance."
He explained that this hadith is confirmed by the words of the Almighty, "Those who disbelieved from the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, the son of Mary, because of what they disobeyed and were disobedient; they did not refrain from anything they did, and they did not stop what they did." He pointed out that going out against the unjust sultan is not restricted to a time, place, or a particular person, but rather it depends on the extent of the presence of the evil.
Allama Sharafuddin pointed out that Imam Hussein saw it as his duty to take action, even if it meant the loss of his soul, as long as it was for the sake of God and the upholding of His word.
He said, "This concept, for which Hussein went out, was challenged and misunderstood and questioned Hussein's principle, just as he questioned today the principle of the axis of resistance and the free people of this nation, so it was said in Al-Aqsa flood that it was an adventure, and it was said in Hezbollah's war with Israel that it is an adventure, and it was said in what we are doing in confronting America and Israel that it is an adventure and suicide."
"This is the difference between the concept of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, and the free people of this nation, and the concept of those who want this life, so they tried to adapt the Quran according to their whims," he added. He emphasized that jihad will never be about throwing oneself into suicide.
He explained that "today there is a school that calls for silence, subservience, submission to the status quo and submission to the conditions of America and Israel, and this is something that Muslims today are being given a choice, just as Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) was given a choice at the time and said his famous saying: "As for the pretender, the son of the pretender, he has focused between two extremes: Between the basket and the humiliation, and there is no humiliation from us.")
He continued, "God forbids us to do so, His Messenger , the believers, and our noses are too proud to prefer obedience to the unscrupulous to the fate of the honored, this great school is the one that produced these men who today face the tyrants , criminals America, Israel and their supporters, while the other school is still since then until our day calling for submission and humiliation and deviating people from the path of God Almighty."
"We thank God that we were from the school of jihad, martyrdom, commanding good, forbidding evil and upholding the word of God, but those who are discouraged have no consolation," said Allama Shamsuddin Sharafuddin.
He emphasized that America, Israel and those behind them cannot dissuade the Yemeni people from their path, steadfastness and steadfastness in supporting their brothers in Gaza.
He pointed out that Karbaa today is present in Gaza, and whoever supports Gaza today is supporting Imam Hussein, whoever raises the banner and logo of this religion and exalts the word of truth, and whoever is with Gaza is the truthful, the believer and the mujahid.
He emphasized that this is not a matter of place or time, but rather a matter of methodology, which is why the Prophet said, "Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein, God loves those who love Hussein, and Hussein is one of the tribes." He explained that this hadith shows the correctness of the project of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, and the correctness of the project of all those who went out against tyrants and criminals.
"What we see today of the decadence, lawlessness, immorality and debauchery of the rulers of injustice and immorality in the nation clearly indicates the extent of its deviation from the path of its prophet, and that it needs to correct its course and return to its senses, disown tyrants , criminals, and follow the path of the righteous who command good and forbid evil," he said.
