Sanaa: The twelfth Ramadan lecture by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi focused on the struggles of the Islamic Ummah, drawing lessons from the story of Prophet Musa (PBUH) and highlighting the current challenges facing Muslims worldwide.
According to Yemen News Agency, Sayyed Abdulmalik expounded on the Quranic narrative from Surah Al-Qasas, where Prophet Musa (PBUH) intervened to aid an oppressed man, illustrating the importance of standing against tyranny despite potential repercussions.

The lecture underscored the dire condition of the Ummah, attributing its current state of weakness and subjugation to centuries of neglect and failure to utilize its spiritual and material resources. Sayyed Abdulmalik highlighted the plight of the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, as a poignant example of the Ummah's inaction and the urgent need for collective responsibility and action against tyranny and oppression.

The lecture concluded with a reminder of the importance of seeking Allah's guidance and forgiveness, as demonstrated by Prophet Musa (PBUH) in his actions. Sayyed Abdulmalik called on the Ummah to rise to the challenges it faces, drawing strength from its faith to confront the ongoing struggles and fulfill its divine responsibilities.
