Cultural Seminar for Quran Generation Students in Al-Haymah Ad-Dakhiliyah District, Sana'a Governorate
Sana'a - Saba: Students of the Quran Generation Schools in the Al-Ahboub District of Al-Haymah Ad-Dakhiliyah District, Sana'a Governorate, commemorated the martyrdom anniversary of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, with a cultural awareness seminar. The seminar, held at Al-Kharbah Mosque, emphasized the importance of commemorating this anniversary, given its significance in instilling in people the virtues and achievements of the greatest figure known in Islamic history after the Prophet, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace. The symposium's themes reviewed timeless moments from the life of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), his life of struggle in supporting the Islamic call, and the lessons and morals that can be learned from them in practical reality. These lessons strengthen the connection with God and return to Him through contemplation of the Holy Quran and following in the footsteps of the Prophet and his family (may God's prayers and peace be upon them all), enabling us to live with pride and dignity under the true Islamic religion, according to its truest principles and pure sources. The symposium noted that the only solution to escape the quagmire of humiliation and degradation that the Islamic nation is experiencing is to follow the example of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), through the Quranic March Project. The symposium also highlighted the current situation in Gaza and the Arab and Islamic stances vis-à-vis the honorable Yemeni position, which the enemies of God, including Jews, Christians, and hypocrites, are conspiring to defeat and eliminate. The symposium, which was attended by the Head of Mobilization in the Al-Ahboub District, Munir Marit, and the Director of the Social Affairs and Labor Office, Amin Al-Qalam, included various segments and a tribute to the students of the Quran Generation and their teachers.
