Sana'a: The General Mobilization in Maeen district in the capital Sana'a organized a cultural event on Wednesday to commemorate the Day of al-Wilayah, also known as "Eid al-Ghadir," under the slogan: "Whoever I am his master, then this Ali is his master."
According to Yemen News Agency, the event was attended by Assistant Undersecretary Sami Sharaf al-Din and Guidance Sector Head Dr. Qais al-Tal. Dr. Al-Tal highlighted the significance of commemorating Imam Ali's Wilayah, emphasizing its importance as a crucial milestone in Islamic history.
He stressed that celebrating this day is vital to transmitting the prophetic message regarding Imam Ali's guardianship, which is achieved through following, obedience, and emulation in all aspects of life. Dr. Al-Tal explained that the Islamic nation's abandonment of guardianship has led to its current state of submission and defeat, urging a return to honor by embracing the principles of Wilayah.
Furthermore, he reviewed Imam Ali's life, his esteemed status with the Prophet, and his significant jihadist role. Dr. Al-Tal also noted Yemen's "pioneering and exceptional role" in the region, stating that under the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the nation continues to confront "tyranny and arrogance" and support the oppressed in Gaza and Palestine.
