Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
"Under the title "Day of Myth", social networking sites were buzzing with writings and blogs by hundreds of Yemenis attacking the Houthi group's attempts to consolidate its rule and project under a religious banner, which is "the Wilayat", based on the alleged story of "Ghadir Qom".
The alleged incident in the books of Shiites and imams in Yemen, is attributed to the Prophet Muhammad granting him the mandate as a religious authority and the authority to rule after him to the companion Ali bin Abi Talib after the Farewell Pilgrimage, specifically on the 18th of Dhul-Hijjah.
Despite the historical criticism that this novel faces, questioning its authenticity, the Houthi group has been keen to dedicate it by force and celebrate it every year since its coup in 2014 AD; With the aim of legitimizing the rule of its leader, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, says Abdul-Wahhab Al-Humayqani, Secretary-General of the Al-Rashad Party.
Al-Humayqani wonders about the relationship of Yemenis to the issue in the event that they accept the veracity of the alleged novel "Ghidir Qom". He replies, saying: The purpose is that the mandate in Yemen is for Abd al-Malik al-Houthi and his dynasty and you, the people of Yemen, are servants and slaves to them.
He confirms what the former leader of the Houthi group, Ali al-Bakhiti, said, who indicated that the group's leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, does not have any qualifications to compete with them except on state day.
He adds: He does not even have a sixth grade certificate, and he has no experience or expertise in any field. Therefore, he leans on superstition and uses the nervousness of the dynasty, and if he had not done so, he would have been a normal daily worker, and that would have been more honorable to him than his penetrating the blood of Yemenis, displacing them and destroying their state.
Political writer Adel Al-Ahmadi points out in an article that "the revival of the so-called Eid al-Ghadir, or state day, is not just a religious ritual, but rather a political demonstration to expiate others, as they are denying the alleged will of Qom and turning against it."
Al-Ahmadi stresses the duty to refute the “falsity of this nonsense,” and to explain to the deceived “that this occasion is nothing but an annual date that the Salafis underestimate the minds of their followers, and that it is nothing but a bloody racist Christmas that priests celebrate at the end of every Hijri year, in the hope of obtaining more of fighters from our sons, who were not created to be sacrifices to this cowardly dynastic madness.”
Criticism of the myth of al-Ghadir Day. Writer and journalist Kamel al-Khoudani sees it as an intellectual revolution against the legacies of antichrist, "which distorted our religion and trapped us in the cave of backwardness for centuries, and through forged hadiths and narrations, I maliciously passed through most of the references of the sects."
Al-Khoudani believes that this intellectual revolution should be accompanied by a "religious revolution for the true and brave scholars and clerics to correct our great religion from this charlatan that is offensive to it and our honorable Prophet," he said.
Writer Abdullah Ismail, for his part, confirms that the myth of the state or the Day of Ghadir is a dedication to racism and atonement, and a means to gain the forbidden. And he adds: The myth of the state and the leader of knowledge and the two people will die with a passing popular rejection of the illusions of charity and differentiation.
On the other hand, journalist Naif Hassan considers "The Day of Ghadeer" the biggest lie in the history of religions, and the biggest shameless abuse in the history of societies.
He comments: Religious quackery has no end, and human stupidity is beyond all imagination. The stupidity that drives so many people to celebrate a ritual occasion you want to enslave them!
In conjunction with this campaign, the Minister of Awqaf directed a circular to mosque preachers in Yemen to allocate Friday sermons, lectures and lessons to refute the myth of the Day of Ghadir and Wilayat.
Stressing the importance of refuting this myth promoted by the hateful Imami priesthood, with the need to clarify that "the ruling is by the choice of the people and the people of the solution and the contract, and that the theory of restricting rule to a particular dynasty and distinguishing it over others is not acceptable in our country and among our people."
