Bani al-harith: The local authority and General Mobilization in Bani Al-Harith District organized an expanded meeting as part of the preparatory activities to commemorate the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him and his family) birthday for the year 1447 AH.
According to Yemen News Agency, Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security Affairs, Major General Jalal Al-Ruwaishan, addressed the attendees, including a field visit team composed of ministers, Shura Council members, and officials from the Ministries of Interior, Defense, and Mobilization. Al-Ruwaishan expressed honor in participating in the activities, emphasizing the Yemeni people's deep loyalty and revered status in the eyes of the Prophet since the dawn of Islam. He stressed the renewal of Yemenis' devotion to the noble Prophet through sacrifice, sincerity, and adherence to the righteous Muhammadan path.
Al-Ruwaishan highlighted the importance of opposing those who claim that celebrating the Prophet's birthday is an innovation and who do not use the occasion as a spiritual and mobilizing moment to confront the enemies of Islam. He traced the historical opposition from the Umayyad era to modern times, focusing on intellectual invasions and efforts to distance Muslims from the symbolic significance of the Prophet.
He also pointed to conspiracies by enemies and Wahhabis who sought to erase the symbolic legacy of Muhammadan Islam, falsely claiming that celebrating the Prophet's birthday is an innovation. Al-Ruwaishan affirmed that the Prophet's life and mission serve as a model for humanity, which Muslims must emulate in confronting the enemies of Islam.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that this occasion should reinforce support for the people of Gaza, who face genocide and destruction, with global silence and betrayal. He condemned the inaction of some Arab and Islamic regimes and called for exposing those who support or remain silent in the face of injustice.
Al-Ruwaishan highlighted Yemen's united stance in the 'Promised Victory and Sacred Jihad' alongside Gaza, driven by faith and jihad. He reaffirmed that Yemen's position will persist until the Zionist aggression ends and the siege on Gaza is lifted, in obedience to God and following the Prophet's example.
He described the Prophet's birthday as a moment to prepare for challenges with determination and national unity, strengthening the spirit of jihad and participation in mobilization and military training. Al-Ruwaishan called on Islamic nations to uphold their responsibilities toward Islam, defend its sanctities, and support the oppressed Palestinian people.
The meeting, attended by Minister of Economy, Industry, and Investment Maeen Al-Maqahri, and other officials, included remarks by Khaled Al-Madani on Yemenis' historical role in supporting the Prophet and Islam. Al-Sheikh Abdulsalam Al-Nahari highlighted the occasion's sanctity and the Yemeni people's devotion to the Prophet and Gaza.
The event concluded with religious poems and chants, attended by various leaders, community figures, and residents of Bani Al-Harith.
