The blessings of the Most Merciful now permeate every corner of Yemen, filling the country with jubilation, joy, and celebration on the occasion of the birth of the Master of the Children of Adam, the Chosen and Elect Prophet, Muhammad — “may my Lord’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family.” 

Yemen, renowned for its lush greenery and breathtaking natural beauty, has adorned itself for the occasion. Its days now shine brightly, its plains and mountains clothed in verdant splendor, while its nights glow with the light of Ahmad and the joy of celebrating his birth, to the point that one can scarcely find a night in Yemen at all.

The anniversary of the Prophet’s birth is a moment in which the values of justice, mercy, and striving in the cause of Allah are brought vividly to the fore — values that the Prophet embodied throughout his life and carried as a universal message. 

At a time when the Yemeni people continue to suffer oppression and aggression, these commemorations deepen within Yemenis a sense of steadfastness, dignity, and defiance. Drawing inspiration from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, prayers and peace be upon him and his family, they look to his example for lessons in standing firm in the face of challenges and threats.

Today, as Yemen continues to endure ongoing oppression and aggression, the celebration of the Prophet’s birth has taken on a different dimension. 

The Yemeni people have marked the occasion with missiles and drones that shook the pride of the Saudi aggressor, exposed the fragility of Western interception systems, and demonstrated that Yemen’s faith-based identity and its commitment to jihad refuse to accept a life of submission under the tyranny of the age.

On the day commemorating the birth of the Messenger of Allah, the great Muhammad — may Allah’s prayers, peace, and blessings be upon him and his family — the Yemeni people renew their affirmation that Muhammad was, remains, and will forever be the fortress of this Islamic nation; the source of its strength, dignity, honor, and sovereignty; and the foremost basis for its entitlement to victory over the enemy of Allah and its own enemy.

The battlefield itself stands as evidence. The events and developments of the conflict have borne witness to this reality, and its manifestations have been seen in the sincere and steadfast fighters from Yemen to Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and Iraq — those who have taken Allah, His Messenger, and the believers as their allies, holding fast to the Great Prophet as their path and method, and adhering to his example and positions in conviction and emulation.

The result has been what it has been: extraordinary displays of steadfastness and legendary resilience that have astonished the world and shaken the thrones of arrogant tyrants, who now have no path left before them but defeat.

The Capital of Capitals Celebrates the Seal of the Prophets

In the capital, Sana’a, a million-strong gathering — the largest of its kind in the region and the world — came together in celebration and jubilation to commemorate the noble birth of the Prophet. Al-Sabeen Square was filled with an unprecedented human tide, with crowds arriving from every direction to take part in the grandest Muhammadan festival.

After hours of mass arrivals toward Al-Ahrar Square, the magnificent Muhammadan scene was complete. Yemen’s capital radiated splendor and pride, its spirit of defiance spreading across the city. 

On the long-awaited day, millions turned out to fulfill their pledge to the beloved Chosen Prophet, may Allah’s prayers, peace, and blessings be upon him and his family, commemorating an occasion that is the dearest and most cherished to their hearts — hearts filled with faith, love, and sincere devotion to Allah and His Messenger.

The world at large heard the roar of millions celebrating the birth of the Great Prophet in Yemen, the land of faith and wisdom. Their massive gathering delivered a powerful response to all the forces of American, Israeli, and Saudi tyranny. 

Indeed, the guests of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers, peace, and blessings be upon him and his family, formed the largest gathering in the region and the world, reflecting the profound importance of this occasion — the “commemoration of the birth of light and guidance” — an occasion that, in their eyes, has no equal among all others.

The crowds that filled Al-Sabeen Square and the surrounding streets affirmed the unity of their cause in confronting the enemies of the nation, as commanded by Muhammad, the Master of the Messengers, may Allah’s prayers, peace, and blessings be upon him and his family. From the very first day he assumed the responsibility of conveying the divine message, he raised the banner of jihad.

Amid the millions of worshippers, with the name of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, at the heart of the gathering, the crowds created a magnificent tableau expressing the reverence, veneration, and exaltation that the descendants of the Ansar hold for the station of the Great Prophet. 

They also revived the memory of their forefathers, the Aws and Khazraj, and their steadfast support for the Prophet at a time when his own people had abandoned him and driven him from Mecca.

Yemen’s Provinces Celebrate the Great Prophet

Across Yemen’s provinces, the Yemeni people gathered in dozens of squares and public venues. The Prophet’s devotees did not cease for a moment from chanting slogans of reverence, glorification, and loyalty to the Seal of the Prophets, and to the values and faith-based principles he brought to the nation to reform its affairs and restore its standing, dignity, and honor.

The Muhammadan celebrations culminated in a live address by the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, who greeted the millions gathered for the occasion. 

He described the grand commemoration of the Prophet’s birth as one of the manifestations of appreciation for Allah’s blessings and an acknowledgment of His mercy. He affirmed that Yemen — the land of faith and wisdom — drawing upon its faith-based identity, remains determined to deter the “Kingdom of the Horn of Satan” and reclaim its rights.

Unwavering Support for Deterring the Saudi Enemy

Participants voiced their unequivocal support for all options pursued by Leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi to deter the Saudi enemy, pledging to follow all directives concerning the revival of the duty of jihad and the continued mobilization efforts in preparation for the battle to liberate the country. 

They also expressed their pride in and appreciation for the honorable positions taken by the Yemeni people under the leadership of Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, as they marked this great occasion in a massive celebration that sought to embody the approach of the Seal of the Prophets in defending the truth, waging jihad against the forces of disbelief and tyranny, and confronting the enemies of Allah and Islam.

They regarded the Yemenis’ commemoration of the birth of the Messenger of Allah as a continuation of the legacy of the Ansar, who rejoiced at the Prophet’s arrival and stood by him. 

They described it as both a religious and moral milestone, and as a return to enduring values and principles, while also serving as a message to the Yemeni people to stand united in confronting the enemies of the homeland and the Islamic nation.

They stressed that, through these imposing Muhammadan gatherings, Yemenis were today reaffirming their stance of support, solidarity, and readiness to stand by the Palestinian people in their plight. 

They said the gatherings conveyed a message to all enemies that they would continue, with determination, faith, and an unbreakable will, to champion the causes of the nation, remaining steadfast in their adherence to the Noble Prophet, to their religion, and to the path of Islam.

They further underscored the importance of the celebrations and the impressive momentum surrounding this occasion in unifying ranks and bringing people together in response to the enemies of the nation who had sought to obscure this commemoration, vigorously cast doubt upon it, and strip it of its significance and role as a point of departure for renewing allegiance to Allah and His Messenger, following the Prophet’s example, and walking in his footsteps.

They described the commemoration of the Prophet’s birth as a deeply rooted Yemeni tradition, carrying profound significance in strengthening the nation’s bond with the Seal of the Prophets and the message with which Allah honored him as a mercy and guidance for all the worlds. 

They said it also represents a practical embodiment of confronting campaigns of misinformation aimed at undermining the commemoration of the birth of the Master of Humanity.

They underscored the importance of everyone fully appreciating the deeper meaning of this commemoration, particularly in light of the aggression and horrific crimes being perpetrated by the U.S. and Israeli forces in Yemen, Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon. 

Such circumstances, they said, demand renewed calls for jihad in support of all the oppressed and downtrodden around the world, and for raising the banner of the Muhammadan nation.

The crowds also highlighted the victories the Yemeni people have achieved — and continue to achieve — on all fronts, as well as the prominent standing they have attained by remaining steadfast in their faith-based identity and following the path of the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers. 

They regarded the commemoration of this blessed day as a means of awakening the nation’s consciousness to the importance of strengthening the forces of victory and support for the brotherly Palestinian people in their struggle against the enemy of the nation and humanity: the Zionist entity.
