Comment:
Sana'a and the areas under the control of the Houthis are witnessing the launch of the celebration of the Prophet's birthday through events and the hanging of lights and green fabrics in the streets and on government institutions in order to show love for the Prophet ﷺ. We have never found before that these actions were initiated by any Muslim who does not love the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, his family, and his companions. He is our love, the joy of our hearts, our guide, our role model, and the messenger of our Lord to us. God Almighty said: ﴿There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern﴾, and the love of the Prophet ﷺ is authenticity, not contradictory slogans, and the requirement of love for ﷺ lies in obedience and submission to what he brought from his Lord, adherence to his law, and following his path. God Almighty said: ﴿Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."﴾ What we notice is that commemorating the Prophet's birthday is merely a formality; Neither the Houthi rules according to Islam, nor do the events mention its application, and this noise is nothing but a measure of the group's followership and showing loyalty to it.
Every year, these events and manifestations continue for about a month, mentioning the Prophet of Islam but not mentioning his method in establishing governance according to what God has revealed. What is noticeable in all this noise and media hype is that the goal is to preserve the existing deviation in the origin of the ruling regime that is dressed in the garb of Islam. The existing regime is republican and secular in origin, and refuses to apply God’s law in economics, politics, and education because it does not make sovereignty for the law, but for the people through parliament, and applies a non-Islamic constitution, and thus consolidates subordination to the infidel West. God Almighty said: ﴿Then is it the judgment of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allah in judgment for a people who are certain [in faith].﴾
The government should have approved a plan to disengage from Western hegemony in the economy instead of being linked to the usurious International Monetary Fund, which burdens people and controls countries’ fateful decisions! And a plan for the independence of political decisions instead of subordination to the laws of the United Nations and its tyrannical resolutions that obligate all cardboard countries and serve the infidel West with its laws! And a plan to remove the foundations of Western education and develop education in the country on the basis of Islamic belief in order to create rising Islamic personalities instead of curricula of Westernization, nationalism, and stinking fanaticism that tear apart the nation, including the ideas of colonialism in economics in universities, colleges, institutes, and all educational centers!
O sons of Yemen: It is not enough to change events from national to religious or sectarian! The nation today is being slaughtered in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Kashmir, Sudan, East Turkestan, and other Muslim countries, and it is watching the celebrations here and there! The only way out is to establish a state that rules according to God’s law, and Yemen and any Islamic country can only be purified by completely breaking away from the bonds of secular regimes and subordination to the West, and working to establish the Caliphate state on the method of Prophethood, which makes the application of God’s law the focus of all its policies. Only then will veneration of the Prophet ﷺ and veneration of the method he brought be achieved, problems will be solved, sanctuaries will be liberated, countries will be united, and the message will be carried. God Almighty said: ﴿And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations, and beware of them lest they avert you from some of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away - then know that Allah only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient.﴾
