Two events held by Zakat Authority Branch & Jiblah University to commemorate Wilayah Day in Ibb
Ibb - Saba: The branch of the Zakat Authority in Ibb Province organized a cultural event on Sunday to commemorate Wilayah Day, the auspicious Eid al-Ghadir, under the slogan "For whomsoever I am his Mawla, Ali is his Mawla." During the event, Sheikh Muqbil Al-Kadhi, a member of the Yemeni Scholars Association, emphasized that sincere and practical allegiance to the Wilayah (guardianship) of Imam Ali guarantees the dignity of this nation. He pointed out that following the divine Wilayah protects the nation from aligning with its enemies, the Jews and Christians. Al-Kadhi reviewed the events at Ghadir Khumm, where a massive gathering of Muslims witnessed a solemn scene during the Prophet's (PBUH) return from the Farewell Pilgrimation, under divine command. He recalled the Hadith of Wilayah, which is documented in both Sunni and Shia sources. The event featured speeches and poetic recitations highlighting the importance of commemorating this day as a great occasion that strengthens allegiance to the path of Wilayah—devotion to Allah, His Messenger, and Imam Ali—for its profound impact on preserving the nation's honor, dignity, and unity. In a related event, Jiblah University of Medical Sciences and Jiblah University Hospital organized a speech and cultural event to mark Eid al-Ghadir, the day of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib's (AS) Wilayah. University President Dr. Abdullah Al-Matari stated that Wilayah Day represents an exceptional and pivotal occasion that established the divine Wilayah as the nation's path, extending beyond the Prophet's (PBUH) passing. He stressed the urgent need for the nation to return to the path of Imam Ali's Wilayah, which is an extension of the Prophet's guardianship and, in turn, an extension of Allah's Wilayah—ensuring the nation's protection from deviation or division. Dr. Al-Matari praised the stance of the revolutionary and political leadership, along with the free people of Yemen and the Yemeni Armed Forces' heroic military operations in support of Gaza. He noted that this stance is a natural outcome of their adherence to the path of allegiance to Allah, His Noble Messenger, and Imam Ali. Whatsapp Telegram Email more of (Local)
