Fireworks Light Up the Skies of Sana’a and the Governorates… A Unique Devotional Scene Heralds the Start of the Mawlid Celebrations

A blessed Muhammadan night was witnessed in the capital, Sana’a, and across the country’s governorates, as the sky was adorned with bright colors from fireworks launched by citizens in celebration of the Prophet’s birthday — the birth of the mercy sent to all worlds, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

From rooftops and mountain peaks to city and village streets, torches of joy rose to form a distinctive devotional tableau in which green lights mingled with showers of fireworks — a sincere expression of deep attachment to the Greatest Prophet, pride in belonging to him, and renewal of allegiance to his immortal message.

A distinct Yemeni Muhammadan scene
The sky, sparkling in green and other colors, was not merely an aesthetic display; it carried a profound spiritual message, embodying the Yemeni people’s warm reception of the anniversary of the Master of Creation and their practical affirmation of the Prophet’s saying: “Faith is Yemeni and wisdom is Yemeni.”

Yemenis, who customarily turn every occasion tied to the Noble Prophet into a moment of renewal, revival, and devotion, created tonight a global scene that reflects nothing but their authentic Muhammadan spirit.

A prelude to the grand public celebration
The fireworks were launched on the eve of major preparations for the central festival and the largest public celebration that will take place at Sabeen Square in the capital, Sana’a, and in the squares of the liberated governorates tomorrow afternoon, Thursday — a scene expected to be the grandest and most magnificent across the Islamic Ummah. It confirms Yemen’s leading role in commemorating this august occasion, with steadfast faith and a universal message.

Through this spectacle, Yemenis have announced to the world that the birth of the Seal of the Prophets is not a fleeting commemoration but a living renewal in their consciousness, a practical path in their present, a resounding voice against the forces of tyranny, and a constant affirmation that the people of faith and wisdom are continuing the prophetic journey until God’s promise of victory and empowerment is fulfilled.
