Hodeida: A cultural event was held on Saturday in Al-Luhiyah city, Al-Hodeida Governorate, to commemorate Ashura and launch the second round of "Al-Aqsa Flood" courses for the year 1447 AH. The event was attended by scholars, sheikhs, and social figures and focused on the jihadist lessons from the epic of Karbala, linking them to the ongoing battle against American-Zionist aggression, particularly in the Gaza Strip. It emphasized the enduring model of steadfastness and resistance represented by the revolution of Imam Hussein.
According to Yemen News Agency, district director Majed Amish noted that this year's Ashura commemoration coincides with a brutal aggression against Gaza. He stressed that the "Al-Aqsa Flood" battle embodies the living extension of Karbala in terms of sacrifice and redemption. Amish affirmed that the genocidal war faced by the Palestinian people continues the struggle between truth and falsehood, adding that reviving Ashura means reviving the values of awareness, renaissance, and steadfastness championed by Imam Hussein.
Sheikh Mohammed Jundus presented a historical account of the Battle of Karbala and the stances of Imam Hussein, his family, and companions. He pointed out that the Karbala narrative forms a foundation for promoting a culture of resistance and confronting conspiracies targeting the Ummah and its sanctities.
Speeches at the event underscored the importance of transforming Ashura into an educational and cultural occasion that instills loyalty to Ahl al-Bayt and the spirit of struggle in the path of God. They also highlighted the need to integrate these values into educational curricula and activities.
The speeches emphasized that this event is part of efforts to build a generation faithful to God, proud of Quranic teachings, and prepared to carry the banner of jihad. They noted that launching a new phase of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" courses reflects the practical readiness of the district's youth to confront challenges and reinforce the choice of resistance.
