Yemenis welcome Ramadan With insistence to continue steadfastness, confront repercussions of aggression, siege
Sana'a - Saba:
Muslims in the East and West celebrate the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan and welcome it with great joy in a spiritual atmosphere that bestows reassurance and humility upon souls before God Almighty.
Yemenis welcome the holy month, for the tenth year in a row, with unparalleled determination to continue steadfastness and perseverance and confront the challenges and difficult circumstances they suffer as a result of the repercussions of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and siege.
In light of the difficult humanitarian conditions imposed by the aggression and siege, and the evasion of international humanitarian organizations from carrying out their responsibilities, the values of giving and sacrifice are manifested in their most beautiful forms among Yemenis, by reviving social solidarity, cooperation and altruism.
In this holy month, there are many forms of solidarity and cohesion based on the teachings of the true Islamic religion, which have established the values of compassion among members of society through cooperation, charity, and helping the needy, as stated in the hadith of the Prophet, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, 'The believers in their love, compassion, and sympathy for one another are like one body: if one part of it is ill, the rest of the body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.'
The concept of solidarity is manifested in the month of Ramadan through practical acts of worship that include giving charity, spending in the way of God, and comforting the poor, considering that these acts are not just rituals, but rather the essence of the religion that builds the Muslim society like a solid structure.
Scholars confirm that the month of Ramadan is a great occasion and a great school of faith to promote the values of goodness, tolerance and solidarity among Muslims, and to spread the spirit of love, brotherhood, sympathy, compassion and compliance with the values of truth, goodness and justice and to elevate them above the fleeting purposes of this world. It is also necessary for believers in Ramadan and other times to be pure of heart from rancor, hatred and arrogance and not to be arrogant towards people, and to feel shortcomings and to constantly hold themselves accountable, and to be reassured in worship.
Among the things that the Chosen One, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, urged us to do in the holy month is to check on the conditions of the poor, the needy and the destitute, and to show compassion and contribute to alleviating the suffering of needy families, as he used to do, may God bless him and grant him peace, as he was the most generous of people, and he was most generous in Ramadan, and he was more generous with goodness than the blowing wind.
The models of goodness and giving are many in Yemen to alleviate human suffering, through contributing to relief and charitable works and supporting and encouraging charitable and community initiatives.
Extensive preparations to receive the holy month, in the capital Sana'a and the governorates, and preparation and readiness for the Ramadan program to strengthen the connection with the Holy Quran and Allah's guidance, and to consolidate the faith identity and Quranic culture.
At the official level, the general guidelines for the Ramadan program plan project and the nature of the tasks and activities that will be implemented by all ministries, government units and local authorities in the capital and governorates were approved, to consolidate the faith identity among society and enhance the works of righteousness and charity and inspect the conditions of the poor and needy.
The importance of the Ramadan program lies in intensifying religious awareness about the holy month, enhancing the role of mosques in reviving the spirit of faith and jihad to confront the challenges facing the nation and raising awareness of the danger of the enemy lurking in it, confronting the soft war targeting the Yemeni faith identity, and emphasizing the continuation of awareness and activities related to public hygiene during the month of Ramadan and implementing effective tasks and activities that achieve faith, national and social goals.
Intensive activities were implemented during the past days in the capital and governorates as part of the preparation for the Ramadan program through meetings, organizing seminars and events, in preparation for the holy month, and urging scholars, preachers and guides to play their role in reminding society of what the holy month represents as an opportunity to increase acts of obedience, restore rights and grievances, solidarity and compassion, help the needy and double efforts to enlighten people about the conspiracies surrounding the nation.
One of the blessings of the holy month is that it is the month of patience and jihad for the sake of Allah, making sacrifices and achieving victories. The victory of Muslims in the two battles of the Battle of Badr and the Conquest of Mecca is nothing but one of the heroic Islamic epics, the timing of which in Ramadan was not a programmed plan drawn up by human hands, but rather the will of Allah Almighty, which combined the sanctity of the month with the majesty of victory.
The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, said in a speech welcoming the holy month of Ramadan last year, "One of the most important things about the month of Ramadan is that it is not only for acts of worship on the spiritual level, voluntary acts, and others, but it is one of the most important seasons for jihad in the way of Allah, and the reward of jihad in the holy month is beyond what a person can imagine."
He points out that "jihad in the month of Ramadan was not a holiday, and that is why the Battle of Badr the Great was a decisive factor between Islam and the tyrant, and the conquest of Mecca was at a time when Allah imposed fasting, and it was a historic achievement and a major change in the reality of the nation."
The Leader urged taking advantage of the month of Ramadan to prepare oneself mentally and psychologically, draw closer to Allah, get rid of sins, stock up on the values of charity and giving, comfort the poor and needy, maintain family ties, and pay zakat.
Despite what the Yemenis have been suffering for ten years due to aggression and siege, they are striving for sustainable development and achieving food security and self-sufficiency in various fields, in defiance of the forces of global hegemony and arrogance "America, Israel and Britain" and their plans that they are weaving with their tools to undermine Yemen and the Yemenis.

My Level in Middle School
During middle school, I was not an exceptional student, but my overall performance was satisfactory throughout the three years. I never failed in any subject, although I often passed some classes with great difficulty. I had a natural inclination towards social studies, where I excelled, followed by the sciences. My results in mathematics were generally acceptable, even though I later struggled in practical reality, often failing to grasp the concept of counting beyond a million. I might squander money, but I never regret it. I excelled at failing to accumulate wealth or save for a rainy day. Perhaps I consider myself generous, and more often than not, I find myself not miserly. In some instances, I misjudge and see the little as too much. I still remember when I was a judge, evaluating the fees for the accountant Ahmed Saeed Al-Dahi. He reprimanded me with a phrase or a question in the courtroom, justly asking, 'Do you want me to work for free?' At that moment, I realized the folly I had fallen into while assessing those fees, perhaps stemming from my inexperience in valuing such work or my tendency to equate money's worth with my salary. National education or the history of the Yemeni revolution was perhaps more appealing to me than Islamic education, which held less significance in the overall curriculum. I found memorizing a verse more daunting than creating a clearing in a solid mountain. Memorizing a poem seemed far easier than committing a chapter of the curriculum to memory. To this day, I am haunted by the trauma of being beaten by my father for not memorizing 'Al-Fatihah.' My ability to memorize has weakened; my memory feels fragile. Forgetting has often overtaken much of what I painstakingly learned. I like to think that the gift of forgetfulness has buried the burdens of hatred and resentment that weigh heavily on the soul, distorting it with ugliness. I may rise in rebellion against injustice, fiercely confronting it, and I cannot tolerate the oppression of those who trample on truth. Yet, I also try to be forgiving towards those who oppose me. I do not sever ties completely and can even forgive those who have wronged me if the injustice ceases or if the perpetrator is removed. I lean towards values of love, freedom, and forgiveness—or so I claim, or rather, I strive to embody. I found some aspects of the Arabic language appealing, while others continue to elude me, leaving me feeling inadequate and unsuccessful even now. I have become hopeless at writing a single page without making spelling and grammatical errors. These issues have become another source of anxiety in my life, hampering much of what I write and tarnishing what I perceive as beautiful and enchanting. I fear they will accompany me until the end. History was the subject I enjoyed most in middle school, primarily because the teacher was well-versed in the material. He would not leave a lesson until he had conveyed it to our understanding. He explained the lesson thoroughly, then dictated it to us, and revisited it through discussion—repetition that was never tedious, all delivered with great humility and without fatigue. One of the most challenging subjects I faced during my middle school years was English. Schools in the south began teaching it from the fifth grade, while those in the north introduced it starting in the first year of middle school. When I completed the sixth grade in the north and moved to the first year of middle school in the south, I encountered a significant gap and immense difficulty in understanding the material. I had missed an entire year of English that I hadn't studied in the north, compounded by my prior struggles with the subject in the fifth grade at 'Sheb' school. This gap continued to widen throughout my subsequent educational journey, even extending into university, and the situation only worsened from there.
