In an unprecedented scene on earth… the squares of the Prophet are filled with millions of Yemenis

Yemen’s governorates witnessed today a faith-filled demonstration and a mass scene rarely seen in history, as the public squares for the Mawlid al-Nabawi (the Prophet’s birthday) were filled with millions of Yemenis — devotees of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) — who had begun arriving in the early morning hours to commemorate the occasion in the Prophet’s squares. The extraordinary turnout exceeded expectations and transcended geographic and human boundaries.

An extraordinary scene that captures a nation’s identity
In the capital, Sana’a alone the central square was packed with millions, while other squares in Saada, Dhamar, Ibb, Hajjah, Amran, Raymah, Al-Mahwit, Al-Bayda, Taiz, Al-Hudaydah and other governorates were likewise crammed with mass crowds waving green banners and chanting prophetic hymns and nasheeds in an atmosphere of striking spirituality and security.

The scene was not merely an emotional celebration; it expressed a unique bond between the Yemeni people and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) — a relationship rooted in deep faith, heartfelt loyalty, and a shared moral and civilizational identity.

Internal and external messages
The depth of loyalty to the Prophet demonstrated that the Yemeni people’s connection to him is neither incidental nor seasonal; it is an affiliation embedded in their creed and identity. Millions voluntarily took to the squares despite economic hardship, blockade, and aggression — clear evidence that love for the Prophet in Yemen is not just a slogan but a collective practice that makes a tangible difference.

Unity of internal ranks
The celebration, which brought together different social strata — men, women, children, and elders — embodied the highest degree of popular cohesion and sent the message that major faith occasions serve as a unifying and binding force, not a source of division or conflict, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) remains the greatest common denominator among all Yemenis.

Defying the siege and aggression
At a time when the aggression seeks to wear down the Yemeni spirit, these crowds declared: “You will not break us.” Millions of Yemenis came out to tell the world that their nation will not die; they draw from the Prophet’s life the strength, resolve, patience, and perseverance to press on toward victory.

A global dimension and a civilizational message
Images of the Yemeni crowds dominated media outlets and social platforms, making the event a global occurrence that cannot be ignored. The Mawlid was not merely a local observance; thanks to the Yemenis, it became a global civilizational event, sending a message of peace and love for humanity from the land of resistance and steadfastness.

Model organization and exceptional security
The event was accompanied by highly organized security and service measures: there was notable presence by the competent authorities to secure the occasion, provide medical and emergency services, and regulate traffic. Domestic and international media delegations and observers praised the high level of organization and discipline despite the massive numbers.

The Leader crowns the commemoration with a historic speech of deep faith and strategic significance
In a moment charged with profound meaning, His Excellency the Leader (may God protect him) appeared to conclude the commemoration with an extraordinary historic speech that combined deep spiritual dimensions with a forward-looking strategic vision. The address functioned as a faith-based roadmap and a comprehensive strategic stance: it redefined Islam as a religion of resistance and victory; it offered a precise diagnosis of the nation’s failings; it called for a sincere return to the Qur’an and the Prophet as a life methodology; it affirmed the centrality of jihad in the faith identity; it linked (may God protect him) the struggle against the Zionist enemy to the Qur’anic position on the matter; and it invited the People of the Book and the world to Islam — a just invitation that God presented in the Qur’an as a single clear word — stirring the nation’s faith identity and underscoring the centrality of the Qur’an and the Prophet in the project of revival.

Once again, Yemen proves it is a land of faith and wisdom, and that the Yemeni people are not mere recipients of history but its makers and bearers when the cause is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

The Mawlid in Yemen is not only a commemoration; it is a living message, a continuing pulse, and the resurgence of a nation from under the rubble.
