Sana'a - Saba:
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the outcast.
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. I believe that there is no god but Allah, the Sovereign and the Manifest Truth, and that Muhammad, our master, is His servant, Messenger, and Last Prophet.
O Allah! Confer Your salat and blessings upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad as You conferred Your salat and blessings upon Ibrahim and the Family of Ibrahim. You are Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory! And be pleased with Muhammad's good companions and all Your righteous servants and mujahidin.
Brothers and sisters, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Regarding the developments of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, this week has witnessed new tragedies, atrocities, and brutal crimes committed by the murderous and criminal Zionist entity in full view of a numb world, with its silent and passive international institutions. This generation will bear witness to the greatest scandal, the most disgraceful exposure, and the ugliest moral collapse ever to befall the international community, in all its names, structures, and frameworks—a legacy it will pass on to future generations.
We are witnessing the death of human conscience. The world watches as over two million people—including children, women, and the sick—are starved, deprived of water, and exterminated on their land through various methods of genocide at the hands of a savage criminal gang and a pack of outlaws: the Zionist criminals, who have no respect for the sanctity or value of human life. They are backed and partnered in this by the criminal tyrant America, which supports them every means of killing and extermination while claims to lead humanity. Alongside America stand several regimes, states, and rulers who falsely present themselves as champions of civilisation and modernity. Yet no child or a mother with her children have proven to be safe from them and the entity they support. They did not even spare an elderly person lying sick in bed, hoping for a single pill, only to be executed in the most horrific way by a gang of Zionist criminals who unleashed a rabid police dog to tear at his frail body. They have terrorised and killed children of all ages: They exterminated them in their mothers’ wombs, killed premature babies in incubators before they even had a chance to see life, murdered infants with deadly bombs, starvation, and by cutting off milk supplies. They killed thousands of children between the ages of one and ten, using the most barbaric methods, after subjecting them to the worst forms of torture and persecution: displacement, terror, starvation, and complete denial of education. The Western world, which constantly preaches about civilisation, has not left a single method of killing and genocide unused in its support of those butchers—the criminal Zionist Jews—to enable them to slaughter the children of Palestine and exterminate an entire generation in Gaza.
What kind of civilisation supports such an ugly and horrific level of killing, criminality, and the shedding of innocent blood—children, women, the elderly, the helpless? What kind of world claims to be civilised when hundreds of thousands of children are longing for a piece of bread—only to be denied it—while supplies sit piled in hundreds of trucks just a stone's throw from the Gaza Strip?! Even baby formula—the very first nourishment of human life—has become unattainable. The entire world bears witness to the use of starvation against infants in Gaza as a deliberate strategy, backed by those who claim to be civilised! What kind of world claims to be civilised and yet insists on leaving 600,000 children in the Gaza Strip without shelter amid the ruins?! Despite all of that, the Arab and Islamic world remains frozen, as if our Muslim Ummah, two billion strong, has turned into dry, lifeless wood—soulless, senseless, and without responsibility.
Latest weekly developments in the brutal Israeli aggression!
Amid the developments of the brutal, criminal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, this week witnessed horrific and varied crimes. The Israeli enemy has killed and wounded more than 3,700 Palestinians, most of whom were children and women, all displaced and awaiting aid.
In this morning's massacre in Deir Al-Balah, sixteen children were killed, including very young children and infants. The massacre occurred as families gathered to receive nutritional supplements for their children.
The Israeli enemy is using both starvation and death traps as methods of extermination. This is clearly evident in the footage shown across various media platforms, as well as through the testimony of international organisations:
These are also testimonies from Western and internationally recognised organisations.
The Israeli enemy also continues its endeavours of forced displacement and creating an environment devoid of all healthy living conditions. Through forced displacement, as well as demolition and destruction operations, it pushes the population of the Gaza Strip into extremely cramped areas, where more than forty thousand people are crowded into every single square kilometre. This, too, leads to health crises and other forms of suffering.
As for the West Bank, the Israeli enemy continues all forms of aggression there, including killings, land levelling, and forced displacement from several villages—even in the Jordan Valley—as well as from refugee camps. It also continues committing kidnapping crimes and persists in establishing new settlement outposts on occupied lands. Furthermore, there is a new plan being pursued by the Zionist Jews titled 'the Nine Emirates'. The Israeli enemy seeks to implement this scheme and intends to recruit proxies from the Palestinian people to assist in its implementation. It is a malicious plan; however, by the will of Allah (the Almighty), it will fail.
Regarding Al-Quds, the Zionist enemies continue to violate the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on an almost daily basis. They continue their Judaisation operations in the city of Al-Quds, demolishing the Palestinians' homes and displacing residents from several neighbourhoods in the city. They also keep establishing settlement outposts in and around the city.
The mujahidin in Gaza: Remarkable steadfastness, high morale, and tactical operations!
Regarding the operations and great steadfastness of the mujahidin from across all Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, they have demonstrated remarkable steadfastness in the face of four military divisions of the Zionist Jews and in confronting brutality, savagery, criminality, and total destruction. They have remained resolute despite the severe siege, starvation, and all forms of suffering, not to mention the widespread abandonment by their Arab and Muslim surroundings, with only rare exceptions.
They showed remarkable steadfastness and high morale in their combat and jihadist performance in confronting the enemy, attacking its armoured carriers and tanks, and engaging at point-blank range. This steadfastness is marked by an effective, impactful jihadist performance—one that frustrates the enemy and undermines the tactics it relies on and even vainly strives to diversify and renew.
This week, the Al-Qassam Brigades carried out sixteen varied operations:
The Israeli enemy’s experts and media admit the failure of its new plan and strategy in the aggression, and this is evident. The Israeli enemy repeatedly introduces new tactics and adopts new strategies in its effort to launch a full-scale invasion, impose total control over the Gaza Strip, eliminate the resistance, and wipe out the mujahidin. Yet it continues to fail.
The Israeli enemy failed over a span of twenty-one months, despite its capabilities and the extensive American support, which amounted to full partnership, along with significant backing from Western countries, such as Britain, Germany, and France. This failure occurred despite the immense levels of brutality and tyranny it used.
This failure, along with the continued effectiveness of the jihadist efforts of our fellow mujahidin in the Gaza Strip—despite their extremely difficult circumstances and immense suffering—reveals the true nature of the Israeli enemy and confirms the Quranic truths about it. While the Israeli enemy has vast military capabilities and enormous support from America and the West and commits brutality, tyranny, and widespread destruction, it suffers direct losses and even fails to achieve its objectives because of facing unyielding resistance and effective performance by our fellow mujahidin in the Gaza Strip. This reflects a truth emphasised in the Holy Quran regarding the nature of this enemy: Allah (the Almighty) says about the Jews, {'If they meet you in battle, they will flee, and thereafter, they will not be granted victory'}[Ali 'Imran 3:111].
The state of the enemy’s soldiers attests to the Quranic truth about their cowardice and desperate clinging to life!
When Israeli soldiers engage in direct combat with our fellow mujahidin in Palestine, it becomes clear how terrified and panic-stricken they are and how low their morale is. This stands in sharp contrast to their boldness when attacking unarmed civilians, women, and children. When they storm refugee camps and attack civilians, they show boldness laced with brutality, criminality, and savagery. However, when they are engaged in actual combat with the mujahidin, the true nature of Israeli soldiers becomes evident, revealing a state of fear and panic—even while they are inside their tanks and armoured personnel carriers and under heavy aerial protection, with intense shelling and firepower support. They appear terrified and scared. The moment their soldiers start falling—whether killed or injured—their screams rise, and they attempt to flee and rush to escape the deadly ambushes.
This state reveals that they completely lack the spirit of sacrifice, as Allah says about them, {'And you will certainly find that they cling to life more eagerly than any other people, even more than those who have associated others with Allah. Every one of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life'}[Al-Baqarah 2:96]. They are the most desperate to cling to life. This is not out of a desire for peace or stability, for they are steeped in aggression, savagery, and criminality, with total disregard for human life around them. When the matter involves self-sacrifice, they hesitate, for they know that they are in a state of tyranny and brutality and that they are not on the right path or in the right position that offers any reassurance about their fate with Allah in the Hereafter. Therefore, they are the most unwilling to make sacrifices and the most fearful of death. As a result, they lack any sense of morale or willingness to sacrifice. Their boldness only appears when the situation involves attacking unarmed civilians, children, or women. In these cases, they display extreme audacity, tyranny, savagery, and unparalleled criminality.
A crucial truth the Muslim Ummah must fully grasp!
The aggressiveness they exhibit, the crimes they commit, the evil they embody, and their allegiance to Satan—all these are significant flaws that earn them the wrath of Allah (Glory be to Him), and they have indeed drawn upon themselves His wrath. Therefore, they are in a perilous state, exposing themselves to divine accountability and swift punishment. Indeed, they are the allies of Satan, and Allah says, {'So, fight against the Auliya of Satan. Indeed, Satan's schemes are ever weak'}[An-Nisa 4:76]. When they are confronted directly by believing mujahidin—who rely on Allah, uphold a faith-based jihadist spirit, and set out in devotion to Allah—this soon affects their morale and strips them of their arrogance, pride, and tyranny. It is then that their true nature is laid bare: They have low morale.
In their criminality and tyranny, lacking any just or legitimate cause, they represent a state of oppression, occupation, aggression, and atrocity. Consequently, they are under threat of Allah's punishment and subjugation. This state has persisted for a long time, as they inherit oppression and aggression from the evildoers among their predecessors. Indeed, their evildoers pass down this legacy of evildoing from one generation to the next. That is why Allah (Glory be to Him) says in the Holy Quran, {'Behold! Your Lord declared that He would certainly send against them those who would make them suffer terribly until the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, your Lord is swift in punishment, but He is certainly Forgiving, Merciful'}[Al-A'raf 7:167].
Our Muslim Ummah, as a whole, must understand and be aware of this reality about the enemies. Some view them as monolithic blocs of power, believing that standing up to and defeating them is impossible, while in fact they have significant vulnerabilities and weaknesses. In fact, they have primarily benefited from Muslims' passivity and their great failure to fulfil their crucial, religious, moral, and sacred responsibilities. The Ummah declined when it abandoned them. But apart from that failure, these very vulnerabilities in the enemies' state (their tyranny, crime, and wickedness) and in their aggressiveness and evil nature, place them under constant threat of divine punishment and subjugation. Throughout history and until the Day of Resurrection, Allah raises those who subject them to grievous torment. Indeed, this constitutes a significant weakness on their part.
Among the things bearing witness to this truth regarding their psychological reality and moral collapse are the very statistics they report about thousands of their soldiers who have suffered psychological breakdowns, with some even experiencing mental disorders, as well as those among other usurpers. These figures testify to the truth of their psychological condition and their low morale.
In addition to these statistics, their aggression against the Gaza Strip has significantly failed to achieve any of its objectives. Given the resources and support they have and the atrocities they have committed, this failure to achieve their goals only further exposes the reality of their psychological state, which is indeed very weak.
At the same time, this highlights the reprehensible and criminal nature of the negligence of the Ummah (Arabs and Muslims) in confronting an enemy whose morale is weak and prone to collapse. What is needed for the Ummah is to rise up and fulfil its duty properly and to support the Palestinian people and their mujahidin as is appropriate and required. Yet it shrinks from confronting an enemy with morale this fragile, allowing it free rein to unleash savagery and atrocity upon the Palestinian people in Gaza. The people there lack adequate means of support or defence due to the significant abandonment by the Ummah, except for the modest resources held by those dear mujahidin who display such a great level of steadfastness and such high effectiveness.
The failure of Arabs of Muslims in general—aside from a few exceptional cases—to support and stand by the Palestinian people is dangerous and unjustifiable. This abandonment carries serious consequences, as warned by Allah in His condemnation of those who remain passive and those who hold back and wait. This was all about Palestine.
As for Lebanon, the Israeli enemy continues its aggression and serious violations of the agreement between it and the Lebanese state, all carried out with American encouragement and support. In other words, the ongoing acts of aggression and violation of the agreement by the Israeli enemy are blatantly supported and encouraged by the Americans, despite the fact that they are guarantors of that agreement.
Israeli violations in Lebanon and Syria: Significant proof!
The Israeli enemy continues to occupy five positions in the areas it advanced into along the border between southern Lebanon and occupied Palestine, despite the agreement stipulating its withdrawal from all territory it had entered in southern Lebanon. It also continues its killings and air strikes from the south of Lebanon to its north. It continues to bulldoze land, demolish homes, and advance into border villages. It targets all aspects of life in the southern villages. Together with the Americans, it seeks to impose new terms and realities outside the agreement and even beyond reason. In short, it aims to strip the Lebanese people of their primary source of strength: the weapons of the resistance. The weapon of the resistance is a source of strength for all of Lebanon and a means of protection for the country from occupation and from direct Israeli control.
Lebanon’s official rejection of these efforts is a positive and correct position, and it should receive full backing from the Islamic world. This position should be supported by the entire Islamic world, and Lebanon must remain officially firm in upholding it. The Lebanese state must firmly reject all the dictates through which the Americans and Israelis seek to bypass the agreement and its terms and to impose new additions, conditions, and realities that are against the Lebanese people and serve no interest of Lebanon whatsoever.
This week, there was an interview with Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem (May Allah protect him), on Al Mayadeen Channel. It was a strong and insightful interview, in which he explained the Hezbollah's steadfastness in its positions and orientations.
With regard to Syria, the Israeli enemy continues carrying out incursions into Syrian territory, bulldozing land, demolishing homes, raiding villages, and abducting members of the Syrian people. Its advance has reached as far as Yaafour in Rif Dimashq (Rural Damascus), approximately ten kilometres from the Syrian capital, Damascus. All of this takes place despite the fact that there is an announced normalisation process between the Israeli enemy and those in control of Syria.
What the Israeli enemy is doing in Syria stands as clear evidence and a visible sign of the truth of Allah’s words in the Holy Quran, {'Allah knows best who your enemies are'}[An-Nisa 4:45]. This Quranic verse—{'Allah knows best who your enemies are'}—appears in the context of addressing the enmity of the Jews towards Muslims. Everything before and after this verse speaks of this reality, offering various examples of their hostility towards Muslims. It affirms that these are established truths and that Allah (Glory be to Him) is indeed the most knowing of them [the Jews]; and truly, He is.
Who among this Ummah—among all Muslims across the full spectrum of society, from politicians and intellectuals to academics and elites, no matter how wise, informed, or capable they consider themselves—can claim to know better than Allah? Is there anyone who dares to make such a claim? Allah is the One Who knows our enemies best. He has diagnosed their reality and identified them clearly in the Holy Quran: He said, {'You will surely find the most serious of mankind in enmity to the believers to be the Jews and those who associate others with Allah'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:82]—the Jews are number 1 enemy to us, and the second is those who associate others with Allah. So He mentioned the Jews as the fiercest and most hostile enemy of this Ummah, of all Muslims, and of everyone who belongs to this religion. Nonetheless, there are currents that oppose the Quran and deny the facts on the ground when it comes to identifying the enemy. They come up with alternative diagnoses to the extent that some even say to the Israeli enemy, 'We and you share a common enemy, so we want to normalise relations with you and cooperate with you against this shared enemy!' Is this not a complete departure from the guidance of this blessed verse? How can anyone claim to be a Muslim and a member of this Ummah, while believing that there is a more dangerous enemy than the Israeli enemy—and worse, viewing that enemy as closer to him and treating that enemy as a partner against a shared enemy from within this very Ummah? Can such a stance be sound? Or is it in direct contradiction to how the Quran identifies the enemy?In addition to revealing the depth and nature of enmity and the dynamics of conflict with this enemy, attention was also drawn to how this enemy operates and what is required of us in confronting it. Allah (Glory be to Him) has presented in the Holy Quran a comprehensive diagnosis of the enemy, detailing all tools and methods it uses to target us out of its enmity for us as Muslims. At the same time, He has outlined the correct course of action that we must follow in order to protect ourselves from the evil of this enemy and to ward off its harm and danger—having already made clear to us the extent of the danger it poses. Allah has also guided us to how we should be in order to protect ourselves from that danger and render it powerless—this is possible if we move according to Allah's guidance and instructions.
Therefore, all the misguided notions about the possibility of peace or coexistence with the Israeli enemy—whether in the form of friendship or alliance—are utterly invalid. They are false in every sense, contradicting both reality and the Quran. All choices, positions, orientations, and policies built upon these false notions will ultimately lead to failure and loss. The Holy Quran reveals this truth, and so does reality on the ground. Even the enemy’s own statements and actions bear witness to it. Just look at how the Israeli enemy behaves in Syria.
The Yemeni support front from the land of faith, wisdom, and jihad: A heated week!
Regarding the support front of Yemen (the land of faith, wisdom, and jihad) in the Battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad, support operations continue, and by the grace of Allah (Glory be to Him), they have escalated significantly this week, with 45 hypersonic and ballistic missiles, drones, and naval vessels having been used this week alone. These operations were wide-ranging.Some of these operations struck deep into occupied Palestine, targeting Yaffa, Isdud, Asqalan, and Umm Al-Rashrash. One operation was carried out today at dawn using a hypersonic missile, which set off sirens in more than 300 settlements across occupied towns and cities. Flights were temporarily suspended at Lod Airport, which the Israeli enemy named after the criminal Ben-Gurion. As usual, millions of Zionists rushed in panic to shelters.
Some of these operations were directed against targets at sea, as this week witnessed new attempts to reactivate the port of Umm Al-Rashrash, with some shipping companies violating the Yemeni blockade. They disregarded the Yemeni ban, perhaps under the illusion that such breaches would be tolerated.
Through these naval operations, which resulted in the sinking of two vessels belonging to non-compliant companies, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to enforcing a maritime blockade against the Israeli enemy as long as the aggression and siege on Gaza continue. It is important to stress that this blockade—spanning the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea—has never been suspended or revoked; it remains fully in force. Continuous maritime surveillance has been maintained to monitor all activity at sea. What is new, however, is the violation by some companies and the Israeli enemy’s attempt to resume its activity at the port of Umm Al-Rashrash, which it calls 'Eilat Port'. We will never allow this to happen.
Yemen’s position is firm and decisive. Our decision to ban Israeli navigation within this declared theatre of operations is firm and decisive, and this ban remains in place and will be enforced as long as the siege and aggression against Gaza persist. In fact, nothing in this policy has changed; what is new is the Israeli enemy's attempts to resume its activity in the port of Umm Al-Rashrash and these attempts by some companies to violate the ban. This serves as a clear message to all shipping companies operating on behalf of the Israeli enemy: Any involvement will be met with such firm measures, and no company transporting goods to the Israeli enemy through the declared theatre of operations will be permitted. Yemen’s position in this regard is absolute.
The naval operations were carried out by the Yemeni Forces, involving naval, missile, and drone units, and they resulted in the sinking of two ships. The operations were aired on satellite channels.
This week also saw defensive operations by air defence and missile forces in response to Israeli aggression. These succeeded in preventing the aircraft of the Israeli enemy from penetrating Yemeni airspace or fulfilling their hostile objectives. The airstrikes on Al-Hudaydah's ports were launched from beyond Yemen’s airspace.
Despite the aggression of the Israeli enemy, the backing it receives from America and Western countries, the propaganda campaigns waged by its mouthpieces—many of which, unfortunately, come from the Arab world—and all forms of assistance from its allies and those opposed to its enemies, nothing can affect our position in supporting Gaza and standing with the Palestinian people. Our position is rooted in faith, principle, and a deep sense of moral and human responsibility.
We stand with clear insight in our position, ready to sacrifice and remain steadfast no matter the challenges.
As a Yemeni people, we are guided by a clear vision in this position. We are prepared for sacrifice and steadfastness, no matter the scale of the confrontation and the hardship required. The sacrifices we offer in the path of truth are accounted for by Allah (Glory be to Him), and they will bear reward both in this life and the next. In contrast, those who engage in passive waiting rather than active participation suffer all kinds of hardship, risk, and loss with no benefit, neither in this world nor the next—it is all part of their punishment! This contrast alone is sufficient to make one believe in the importance of pursuing a just cause and embracing all that it rightfully demands: sacrifice, patience, and commitment.
Allah (Glory be to Him) says in the Holy Quran,{'Do you think you will be admitted into Jannah without being tested like those before you? Misfortune and hardship befell them, and they were so shaken that [even] the Messenger and the believers with him cried out, “When will Allah’s victory come?” Verily, Allah’s victory is imminent'}[ Al-Baqarah 2:214]. This verse reflects the reality of life, no matter the path one chooses:Therefore, those who follow other paths do not live in a paradise, free from difficulties, challenges, risks, or fears. In fact, when we examine their condition, we find they face the same dangers—often greater and more severe.
When we choose to strive for a just cause, we receive divine support and care. In this path, every sacrifice holds meaning—it matters, it contributes to the cause we stand for. These sacrifices lead to great outcomes that Allah brings about, as He (Glory be to Him) has promised in the Holy Quran, {'And the [best] outcome is for the pious'}[Al-A'raf 7:128]. These favourable outcomes manifest both in this world and in the Hereafter.
Indeed, burdens do grow heavier as a result of negligence at some stages—just as we see in the struggle of our Islamic Ummah against the Israeli threat. The burdens have increased because of prolonged negligence over many years. What was the reality of the Israeli enemy and its Western backers at the beginning of the Israeli occupation of Palestine? They were nothing but merely Zionist gangs in limited numbers and with limited capabilities. However, the Ummah neglected its duty until the situation deteriorated into what we see today: an enemy equipped with vast capabilities and enjoying powerful Western support, alongside the vast capabilities of its backers. This is the outcome of a long history of passivity and inaction. As passivity continues, the burdens multiply—but with them, so too does the weight of responsibility.The sacrificing mujahidin versus the passive, hesitant onlookers: A clear contrast!
Even so, there is a stark contrast between the two conditions:The major difference here is this: When you are on the path of truth, you act as a conscious believer who has prepared himself for patience and sacrifice, who is convinced of his stance, aware of its significance, and moves forward with conviction and high morale. This internal readiness—willingness to sacrifice and endure hardships, belief in your cause, and conviction in its justice—even influences how you endure and process events emotionally. That is because you confront the enemies, resist them, and strike back—you are not in a state of passive submission as they attack and target you. So you count your sacrifices and contributions as acts of devotion to Allah (Glory be to Him), a means of earning divine reward, support, and eventual victory. Thus, Allah's support extends even to one’s psychological state. He sends down tranquillity, as He said, {'It is He Who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers'}[Al-Fath 48:4]. He also said in the story of the Companions of the Cave, {'And We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and declared, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth"'}[Al-Kahf 18:14]. This divine care extends even to one’s emotional response to events, granting inner peace and strength to those walking the right path.
The efforts and sacrifices you make serve and advance the very position you are committed to. Since you are engaged in a practical struggle, your sacrifices bear fruit and support your struggle, all under the care of Allah (Glory be to Him). And you are also promised relief by Allah. In the blessed verse where Allah (Glory be to Him) says, {'And they were shaken'}, He conveys the intensity of events and the scale of suffering and confrontation: {'And they were so shaken that [even] the Messenger and the believers with him cried out, “When will Allah’s victory come?” Verily, Allah’s victory is imminent'}[ Al-Baqarah 2:214]. This means that Allah brings about victory and relief no matter how intense the hardship or overwhelming the difficulty. Allah (the Almighty) will grant you victory and relief, but you should stay steadfast and patient, relying on Him, pursuing the means to attain His support, and striving to follow His commands and guidance. Even in the harshest conditions, in the most difficult stages and gravest trials, Allah (Glory be to Him) intervenes with His care—no matter how immense the hardship may become.Allah (Glory be to Him) says in the Holy Quran, {'We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. But give good news to those who patiently endure'}[Al-Baqarah 2:155]. Hardship is a shared reality—it affects everyone. It is something our Islamic Ummah faces widely, especially the Palestinian people: fear, hunger, and a loss of wealth, lives, and livelihoods. Yet when patience is rooted in active struggle for the sake of Allah (Glory be to Him), then comes the divine promise: {'Give good news to those who patiently endure'}[Al-Baqarah 2:155]. This parallels His other declaration: {'Verily, Allah’s victory is imminent'}[ Al-Baqarah 2:214]. Patience, when placed within the context of action, brings with it Allah’s promise of relief and great outcomes.
Other paths offer no divine reward or meaningful benefit; the losses they bring are not for the sake of a just cause. Let's take a look at these alternative choices.
Aligning oneself with the enemy is a deeply dangerous path. Those within the Ummah who follow it are hurtling towards ruin and will face loss in both this life and the Hereafter. It is a path of grave consequences on one's faith and religion. To understand this, it is enough for a person to read the Quranic verse that states, {'Whoever takes them as Auliya becomes one of them'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:51]. That alone makes you counted by Allah as one of them. Could anything be worse? Could one stray further from his Islamic and religious identity? This is an alarming state: to be counted by Allah as one of them—with all their evil, their crimes, their tyranny—and subject to the same divine punishment. On the Day of Resurrection, you will be with them and cast into Jahannam (May Allah protect us). It is a very dangerous state, which leads to punishment in this life before the Hereafter.As one can see in what Allah (Glory be to Him) said regarding this very act of aligning oneself with them—{'And whoever does so will have nothing to hope for from Allah'}[Ali 'Imran 3:28]—this act ends any spiritual connection you have with Allah (Glory be to Him). He detests you as He detests them, curses you as He cursed them, and His wrath descends upon you as it did upon them. You inherit His anger, His loathing, and His punishment in this world and the next.
To choose passivity, negligence, and a disavowal of responsibility—especially while one is witnessing these events and tragedies affecting our Ummah and the Palestinian people, who are an integral part of it, and as these tragedies unfold month after month, year after year— is, in essence, to persist in turning away from the Holy Quran. It is not a trivial matter to remain passive while time goes by and calamities accumulate. This is nothing short of a continued disregard for the Holy Quran.
To persist in turning away from the Holy Quran—from Allah's divine guidance, teachings, and commands—is to insist on defying Him. It is to shoulder a grave burden. It is to remain entrenched in a state of passive waiting—one that invites divine punishment, as Allah (the Almighty) says, {'Then wait until Allah executes His command'}[At-Tawbah 9:24]. Such hesitation is no small thing—it is a perilous state met with divine warning.
This is, at its core, a condition that reveals a profound lack of awareness of the enemy, of unfolding events, of Allah’s laws in life and in His dealings with His servants, and of the wider reality of existence. It also reveals causes that Allah clarified in the Holy Quran in relation to faith itself: He says, {'Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day would not ask permission of you to be excused from striving with their wealth and their lives. And Allah is Knowing of those who fear Him. No one would ask permission of you except those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts have doubted, so they are tossed in their doubts to and fro'}[At-Tawbah 9:44-45]. When a person flees, hesitates, or avoids fulfilling his responsibility or contributing to a just cause—especially in our era where countless avenues and opportunities exist to contribute in accessible and meaningful ways—this reveals his lack of trust in Allah (Glory be to Him). This is why he follows the path of uncertainty: {'So they are tossed in their doubts to and fro.'} They have no trust in Allah or in His promise in the Holy Quran. This is a very dangerous state.
Our people’s support for the Palestinian people stands as a living testament to their true faith!
Our dear people’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause—out of obedience to Allah (Glory be to Him), as a form of jihad in His cause, and in opposition to Zionist Jewish oppression and aggression—is a powerful reflection of their faith and wisdom. Jihad in Allah’s path stands as one of the clearest signs of true belief, as Allah states, {'The [true] believers are only those who have believed in Allah and His Messenger and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives in the cause of Allah: Such are the sincere ones'}[Al-Hujurat 49:15]. This is demonstrated through responding to Allah’s call and striving in His cause with both wealth and life. So it affirms their true faith and the Messenger's saying: 'The belief is that of the Yemenites.' And it is no less a reflection of wisdom, for Allah’s commands regarding jihad are wise. His teachings and what He guided us to in the Holy Quran in relation to His enemies are all deeply rooted in divine wisdom. The Quran is His wise Book, and He swore by it: {'By the Quran, full of wisdom'}[Ya-sin 36:2]. Taking a serious and principled position against Allah’s enemies—whether among the Jews or their Christian and other allies—is not only right but also wise. Allah says, {'And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you are suffering, they too are suffering, but you hope to receive from Allah what they can never hope for. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise'}[An-Nisa 4:104].Our position has a tangible effect on the enemy. Our position against the Israeli enemy—militarily, economically, and in every domain—has a significant impact on the enemy, as is clearly seen at the military and economic levels. The facts, realities, statistics, and even the enemy’s own admissions attest to this.
Even in the weekly million-strong demonstrations, we must recall this guiding principle, {'And do not weaken'}[An-Nisa 4:104], just as we do during military operations and other arenas. There must be no sign of weakness whatsoever. Rather, we must continue with steadfastness, resolve, and strength, without fatigue or weariness, while remaining fully aware of the contrast between two stark realities:
- Every Friday, our dear people willingly take to the streets in their millions by day, fulfilling their duty to Allah (the Almighty) and exuding high morale, dignity, pride, honour, and loyalty. Some come out during the early hours of the day, others in the afternoon, for just a few hours on one day each week.
- In contrast, the Zionist Jews have also been rushing to the streets in millions, but in a very different manner and under entirely different circumstances. Their mass movements often occur at night—sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes before dawn, and sometimes during the day—whenever Yemeni missiles are launched. As their air raid sirens sound, they rise from their beds in panic and terror, rushing to shelters. This, too, has become a recurring weekly event: They rush to the streets in their millions, but forced and humiliated—a completely different reality that continues week after week.
Regarding the demonstrations and public activities, our dear people took to the streets in vast, massive, and honourable demonstrations last Friday, holding a total of 1,239 marches and public gatherings. This enormous momentum, as we previously mentioned, places Yemen in a league of its own when it comes to public activities, demonstrations, and marches—surpassing those of other countries, even when considered collectively.
Demonstrations took place in fifteen countries, including across Europe, the United States, South Korea, and elsewhere. These activities ranged from demonstrations to public gatherings. In Sweden, people took to the streets despite the pouring rain, undeterred by the weather. This is significant: The voice of humanity must continue to rise in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
We regard our people's extensive engagement— tireless and unwavering—as a genuine embodiment of their identity of faith and their noble principles of loyalty and steadfastness. It stands as living proof of their values, morals, and loyalty. This is both a great and important matter.
We call upon our dear people to take to the streets in their millions tomorrow, Allah willing, in the capital, Sana’a, and across the other governorates, to affirm their steadfastness and unwavering determination to continue, no matter the challenges and sacrifices. Our people place their trust in the true promise of Allah (the Almighty), confident that the final outcome of this devotion to Allah (Glory be to Him) will be the very outcome He has promised His righteous servants: victory and manifest triumph.
We ask Allah (Glory be to Him) to grant us success in seeking what pleases Him. O Allah! Have mercy on our virtuous martyrs, heal the wounded among us, set free our captives, and grant us victory. You are the All-Hearer of prayer. We also ask Him to hasten relief and victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and for their dear mujahidin.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
