Israeli occupation forces quelled today a group of nonviolent Palestinian protesters who were demonstrating in the occupied Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan against the unjust Israeli policy of home demolitions targeting the native Palestinian population. Israeli occupation police officers fired rubber-coated rounds and stun grenades at the protesters and dispersed them, according to local sources. No injuries were reported. The vigil was held in front of the house of Mr. Nidal Rajabi, a Palestinian house owner who was recently notified by the all-Israeli municipality of the city of an order to demolish his home, under the pretext of lacking an Israeli construction permit.

The revolution leader, Sayyed Abd al-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, addressed the Yemeni people and believers all over the world with best wishes and blessings on the occasion of Ghadir Day (Wilayah Day).

In his speech today on the occasion of “Wilayah” day, the leader of the revolution indicated that the Yemeni people went out on this day celebrating and rejoicing in it, as is their habit annually as part of their faith heritage over centuries.

And he stressed that reviving and celebrating “Wilayah” day is a thank you to God Almighty, and it is thanks to God Almighty that we acknowledge His grace, just as the revival of this occasion is also a testimony to God Almighty and His Messenger, may God’s prayers be upon him and his family, by establishing the argument and the perfection of religion.

He pointed out that the revival of this occasion is a testimony to the Prophet of the great historical communication about which God, the Blessed and Most High, said: “O Messenger, deliver what was revealed to you from your Lord.

And he said, “When we commemorate this occasion, we remind ourselves and the nation around us of that message, and a constant reminder of that communication, so that its echo remains and its content reaches the nation through generations, because it is a topic that concerns it in every generation and era and not only pertains to the contemporary generation of the Messenger of God.”

The revolution leader pointed out that the principle of guardianship in Islam is a great and important principle, and it represents a guarantee for the straightness of the religion’s march, its vitality, effectiveness, and for preserving the nation from penetration.

He added, “The infidels, the hypocrites, and those who deny the mandate are linked to the tyrant, and depend on his mandate for the course of life.”

Pointing out that the juggernaut fights those who are an extension of the prophets, and seeks to separate people from their mandate, and has his own subversive, obscurantist and corrupt program.

He explained that the juggernaut is moving with his tools from the unbelievers and the hypocrites in coordination of roles, as the hypocrites are moving from within the Islamic arena in a direction opposite to the mandate of God and His faithful servants.

Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi considered that what most reveals the reality of the hypocrites in their opposition to the mandate of God and what is an extension of it, is their hostile position towards the Commander of the Faithful, Ali, peace be upon him, throughout history.

He pointed out that the hypocrites have a hostile attitude towards Imam Ali, peace be upon him, because he exposes their falsity by his authenticity, and their distortion by what he presents of the true teachings of Islam.

And he indicated that the juggernaut in this era seeks to carry out the largest process of metamorphosis of human society to ensure his enslavement to them, and seeks to impose his obscurantist mandate on them, and for this reason this issue occupies the first place in the struggle between truth and falsehood.

He said, “Those associated with the tyrant mainly seek to control the nation, control the people, win their loyalty, and be in the position of directing, commanding, and forbidding.”

The leader of the revolution also affirmed that the Zionist-Jewish lobby, America and the infidel West seek to fight the Qur’an, spread vice, sedition, engineer crises and oppress peoples, and that is the result of their mandate.

He pointed out that the juggernaut and those under his jurisdiction have reached a very terrible degree, through America’s official and political adoption of spreading homosexual obscenity, crimes and corruption in an unprecedented way.

The leader of the revolution stressed that the principle of guardianship elevates the nation in its purity and awareness to the level of confronting the tyrant and his tools from the unbelievers and hypocrites, and constitutes a protection and guarantee for the nation so that it will not be enslaved by the tyrant and his tools.

He stated that what left the Islamic arena in front of the infidels and hypocrites as a stage for them and their interventions is the absence of the principle of guardianship that fortifies the nation and makes it aware that it is in a fortified position that does not accept from the unbelievers and hypocrites, not their guardianship, control and interference in its affairs, nor to support them in their orientations and positions.

Sayyed Abd al-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi indicated that reliance on God, Glory be to Him, comes as a logical practical orientation and commitment on the basis of awareness and insight.

He said, “The principle of guardianship is a principle that the nation needs in every era, and not for a specific generation, or it was specific to those whom God addressed the Messenger, may God bless him and his family, on the Day of Ghadir, rather, we find ourselves at every time in need of faith in this great principle and this connection with the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, as the one who truly connects us with the mandate of the Messenger, and the mandate of the Messenger connects us with the mandate of God Almighty.”

The revolution leader pointed out the importance of reminding the guardianship and its fruit in the reality of life to ensure the uprightness of the matter of religion, for the nation to follow God’s approach correctly and to reap the fruit of this faith in victory, honor and divine support.

On the eighteenth of Dhul-Hijjah every year, the Yemenis used to celebrate the feast of “Al-Ghadeer” since the first hundred of the Prophet’s migration, many large gatherings are witnessed, and the lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt visit it, peace be upon them, from many provinces, and they preparing for it has been made since the day Eid al-Adha.

It is one of the sacred holidays for the Yemenis, and it is unsurprising that they love the people of the house, peace be upon them.

In the last three years, we have published several articles on Eid Al-Ghadeer, and it has generated wide resonance and controversy. Given its importance, we have rearranged its papers, with some additions that the place calls for, and in their entirety they constitute a mini and comprehensive reading of this great event.

Al-Ghadeer .. A culture of life:

The Day of Ghadir carries within the reason for the nation’s survival, its loftiness, and the extension of its authority, values, and supreme principles until it reaches all the world, to fill it with equity and justice.

The divine mandate, as mentioned by the martyred leader “Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi”, is a religion and a state, and which state is greater than the state of truth and justice, the state of the righteous people, a state from God’s command to befriend them and their affection, and make following their security for the people of the earth from deviation and shadows.

What happened in Iraq after its occupation in 2003, and other Islamic countries, the latest of which was the attempt of America’s tools in the region to impose a president in Yemen on the “Zionist-American” whim, and when they failed, they occupied parts of it in the year 2015 and launched sinful aggression against him, and the reason is understanding the Yemenis to what the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, meant in the Ghadir sermon by “this,” and their entrustment of God’s command to their mandate, and their revival of the culture of Ghadir, and their rejection of the culture of domestication.

During the march of the Islamic nation, it was ruled by many dark leaders, from outside the circle of God’s command with their mandate, so many grievances and abuses occurred.

Unfortunately, the culture of submission to the dark rulers has become the dominant one in our Arab and Islamic world

The Islamic Ummah today needs to revive the “Cultural of Ghadir”, if it wants to return to the white pilgrimage and to revive the values, morals, and principles of Islam.

Significance and Implications:

Hence the importance of the role of the guardians of the prophets in explaining the divine laws, protecting them from distortion, and preserving their survival and continuity.

This is the secret behind linking the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, between the Qur’an and the family in the Hadith of the Two Weighty Things.

He wanted to assure his nation throughout history that guardianship is the sister of prophecy, and it is not surprising that imamate is one of the foundations of religion, which should not be underestimated.

Wilayah is the sister of prophecy:

The incident of Al-Ghadeer was not a passing event, rather, the Messenger of God wanted through it to assure his nation throughout history that the Wilayah is the sister of the prophecy, and its impenetrable fence against hurricanes and satanic whims.

The narrators of Al-Ghadeer and its transcripts:

All Muslim jurists and scholars of their various sects, and historians of their various orientations, unanimously agreed on the incident of Al-Ghadeer, and the sermon of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, in the farewell pilgrimage, and they agreed that Imam Ali, peace be upon him, is the one intended by that sermon, to the exclusion of other human beings.

There are many free contemporary non-Shia scholars who spoke about the crime of Bani Umayya and those who followed them among the Wahhabi scholars on Islamic teachings and hadiths, such as the Saudi scholar and thinker Hassan bin Farhan Al-Maliki and the Egyptian thinker Mahmoud Abu Rayh,.. etc., and their books are published for whom He wanted to find the truth.

Among the Companions who attended the event of Ghadir:

Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, Imam Hassan bin Ali, Imam Hussein bin Ali, Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Omar bin Al-Khattab, Othman bin Affan, Al-Zubair bin Al-Awam, Talha bin Obaidullah, Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, Abdullah bin Abbas, Al-Fadl bin Al-Abbas, Abdul Rahman bin Auf, Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, Saad bin Ubadah, Qais bin Saad bin Ubadah, Ammar bin Yasser, Abu Dhar Al-Ghafari, Saeed bin Zaid bin Nufail, Salman Al-Farisi, Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, Al-Bara bin Azib Al-Ansari, Abu Al-Hamra is the servant of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah, Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad, Amr bin Al-Aas, Abdullah bin Masoud, Samra bin Jundub Al-Fazari, Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman Al-Absi Al-Ghatfani Al-Qaysi, Zaid bin Thabit bin Al-Dahhak Al-Ansari, Zaid bin Al-Arqam, Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Khattab, Qais bin Thabit bin Shammas, Anas bin Malik, Amr bin Murra Al-Juhani, Omar and Habashi bin Janada Al-Salouli Al-Kufi, Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajali, Hudhaifa bin Acid Al-Ghafari, Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, Abdullah bin Asaad bin Zarara Al-Ansari, Abu al-Tufayl Amer bin Wathila al-Kinani, Hassan bin Thabit, Malik bin al-Huwairith al-Laithi al-Kinani, Habib bin Badil bin Warqa’ al-Khuza’i, Abu Hurairah Abd al-Rahman bin Sakhr al-Dawsi, .., and the general population of Quraysh and the faces of the companions of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, from my successors, and the emigrants , Ansari, and other Bedouin and urbanites.

Among the women:

Fatimah al-Zahra, Umm Salamah Hind bint Abi Umayyah al-Makhzoumiyyah, Umm Hani bint Abi Talib, Asma bint Umays, Fatimah bint Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib, Aisha bint Abi Bakr..etc.

Fallacies:

Despite the clarity of the Hadith of “Al-Ghadeer” and its circumstances and the multiplicity of its narrators among the jurists and historians of the two schools, and the frankness of its expressions in confirming the idea of the “imamate” with general mandate and absolute responsibility, and in appointing the responsible “Imam” after the death of the Messenger of God, someone claims that the word “Mawla” in the Hadith of Al-Ghadeer name used by many groups.

The question here: Is it appropriate for the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, to stop tens of thousands of Muslims in the middle of the blazing desert, to tell them that Ali bin Abi Talib is a lover and a friend, or to inform God of an important and dangerous matter that cannot be postponed?

The Israeli national water company Mekorot has reduced the daily amount of water supply to the provinces of Hebron and Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank by about 6,000 cups per day, today said the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA), which described the move as ‘racist’. PWA said the move deprives the people of their right to obtain sufficient amounts of water, especially in light of the sharp rise in temperatures. ‘There are no technical reasons behind this reduction,’ PWA said, adding that ‘no faults were detected in the supplying source, but rather it [the move] comes as a discriminatory measure that adds to the racist policies practiced by the occupation authorities.’ According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) and the Palestinian Water Authority, the average Israeli per capita consumption of water is three times higher than the Palestinian per capita, with the Israeli share amounting to about 300 liters per day. This rate doubles for Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank to more than 7 times the Palestinian consumption per capita. Of note, the average Palestinian per capita consumption of water is less than the minimum internationally recommended amount, according to the standards of the World Health Organization, which is 100 liters per day, as a result of Israeli control over more than 85 percent of Palestinian water resources.
