Speeches delivered by district directors, mobilization officials, and attendees emphasized the importance of commemorating Yawm al-Wilayah to affirm allegiance to Imam Ali in response to God's command and the call of the Noble Messenger. The speeches reviewed the significance of celebrating Yawm al-Wilayah and embodying its faith-based meanings, stressing that allegiance must be a practical commitment in the nation's reality.

They highlighted the importance of drawing lessons and faith-based principles from this occasion to confront current challenges, explaining that the principle of wilayah is a religious and practical connection and a Quranic path, with the alternative being allegiance to Jews and Christians.
