Despite the difficult economic conditions that the Yemenis are going through as a result of the aggression and the siege imposed by the Saudi-led coalition, this does not prevent them from celebrating and commemorating this religious event.
The celebration of this solemn religious occasion comes out of the awareness and love of the Yemenis for the Prophet. The birthday of the prophet is not considered a passing event, but the most prominent one in Islamic history because of the values, principles and morals of the divine message of the Prophet and the establishment of Islamic rules among his nation.
The memory of the Prophet’s birthday is of great importance in strengthening the unity of the nation.
On Monday, the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, called on the Yemeni people to interact greatly in commemorating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), through attending all the events set to be held on this occasion.
