Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi on Sunday reiterated Yemen's firm position in support of the Palestinian people and its hostility to the Israeli-American enemy, which poses a threat to the entire Islamic nation.
In a speech he delivered today during the marches commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, in the capital Sana'a and the governorates, the Leader said, "The Zionist plan is an aggressive and destructive plan that targets the nation in its religion and worldly affairs. We will spare no effort in confronting this enemy with our brothers in al-Quds axis, the Jihad and Resistance, and the free people of the nation."
He added, "No matter the challenges, difficulties, the extent of the sacrifices, the level of blame, pressure, media attacks, and other forms of warfare and targeting we face from America, Israeli entity, and their loyal and supportive agents who oppose any approach that does not accept submission to America, our steadfastness in our positions is our decisive and irreversible choice. We seek help from God and rely on Him, trusting in Him, and He is sufficient for us and the best disposer of affairs. He is the best protector and the best supporter."
The Leader of the Revolution pointed to the Yemeni people's steadfastness in their faith-based approach to the blessed Quranic project, which is based on adherence to the Holy Quran, carrying the banner of Islam, and acting within the framework of the sacred Islamic responsibilities of jihad in the cause of God, enjoining good and forbidding evil.
He explained that commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein is a tribute to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, and reflects the significance of his position as a guide and role model. He pointed out that Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is the owner of a cause, and his cause is Islam.
Sayyed al-Houthi explained that the Islam practiced by Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) is the Islam that creates peace, not surrender. He explained that the transformation of the major features of Islam led to the grandson of the Messenger of Allah, Imam Hussein, facing alienation and apathy.
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi pointed out that Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) provided the nation after him, until the Day of Judgment, with the greatest lessons in responding faithfully to God, rising up for the truth, and fulfilling the commands of Islam and the glory of faith, along with his family and a small number of supporters.
He continued, "Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) also provided the greatest lessons in faith, honesty, loyalty, and steadfastness in the truth, even in the most difficult circumstances and stages. He broke the barrier of silence and revived freedom in the nation. Revolutions continued after him until they overthrew the tyrants of the Umayyads, giving truth impetus and extension across generations."
Sayyed al-Houthi cited the immortal words of Imam Hussein when he was besieged by enemies who filled the desert of Karbala and presented with two choices: either humiliation and surrender to tyrants and criminals, or war, murder, and annihilation. He, peace be upon him, said, "Behold, the impostor, the son of an impostor, has placed us between two options: the sword and humiliation. Humiliation is far from us. Allah, His Messenger, and the believers reject it. We have noble souls and proud noses that prefer the deaths of the noble to the obedience of the ignoble." Imam Hussein's promise is an inspiring school for generations to confront tyrants at all times and places, and to make the right decision when the nation is faced with these two options: either the basket or humiliation, in every arena of confrontation. Let the truth continue to prevail, and let believers strive to restore Islam in its purity and perfection, its major features, and its fundamental principles, through which its fruit is realized in this world: liberation from tyranny, elevation of morals and values, pride, dignity, justice, light, insight, and a divine way of life.
Sayyed al-Houthi jsaid, "Our battle against American and Israeli tyranny stems from the foundation of Imam Hussein's revolution, because the Americans and Israelis pose a threat to the nation by obliterating its religious identity, targeting its sanctities, and seeking to control, exclude, humiliate, and violate it."
The Leader pointed out, "What the enemy is committing against this nation, starting with its genocide in Palestine, its violation of the sanctity of holy sites, and all forms of injustice and crime, as well as its actions in the Islamic world outside Palestine, and its satanic soft war targeting the nation, and its aggressive plan aimed at occupying homelands, plundering resources, and enslaving societies, all of this necessitates that we, as a religious and moral faith-based responsibility, confront American and Israeli tyranny and stand up to their crimes."
He added, "It is our religious responsibility to confront the crimes of American and Israeli tyranny and to act against their corruption and falsehood. We must never accept submission to them or obedience to American and Israeli tyranny, because that leads to loss in this world and the hereafter."
The Leader of the Revolution emphasized, "No matter the difficulties, challenges, and magnitude of the sacrifices, the cause is sacred and deserves our sacrifice, which has the greatest reward in this world and the hereafter. In this world, we are free and honored, honored by that and honored by the values of Islam, and we enjoy that. In the hereafter, we are promised Paradise, contentment, salvation from God's punishment, and great victory. This is the safest option in contrast to the loss of surrender and subservience, which carries a terrible price and catastrophic consequences in this world and the hereafter."
He continued, "Our embarking on the path of truth, Islam, and the Quran is based on complete confidence in God Almighty's promise of victory for His believing servants. We witness the growth of this steadfastness of our nation in its rightful stance against American and Israeli tyranny."
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi touched upon the noble models of steadfastness, perseverance, and heroism in Gaza and Lebanon, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the free people of Iraq, the great faith-based renaissance in Yemen of faith, and the descendants of the Ansar, with their million-strong momentum, great sacrifices, iron-clad steadfastness, great patience, and tireless persistence.
