The “Flood of the Qur’an” from Al-Sabeen Square… Sana’a Declares General Mobilization and Renews Its Pledge to Palestine

In an exceptional scene reflecting deep faith-based awareness and steadfast resolve, the capital, Sana’a, today witnessed an angry human flood that gathered in Al-Sabeen Square during a massive million-strong march held under the slogan “Mobilization and Readiness… In Support of the Qur’an and Palestine.” The demonstration affirmed the sanctity of the Book of God, issued a categorical rejection of repeated American and Zionist insults to the Holy Qur’an, and renewed the unwavering pledge to support the Palestinian people and confront the Zionist–American project in the region.

Today’s march was not a fleeting act of protest, but a historic declaration of position—a resounding message that Yemen, under the September 21 Revolution, is present at the heart of the battle to defend sanctities and identity, and firmly aligned with the compass of existential struggle.

Human Floods Answer the Call and Affirm Steadfastness

Million-strong crowds surged like roaring torrents into Al-Sabeen Square in direct response to the call of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, embodying the Yemeni people’s steadfast adherence to their faith-driven, jihad-oriented path in confronting American and Israeli tyranny.

The crowds expressed—through their striking presence—the renewal of absolute authorization to the Leader of the Revolution, the declaration of general mobilization and full readiness, obedience to God Almighty, indignation for His Glorious Book, and preparedness to confront forces of evil and tyranny and thwart any conspiracies targeting Yemen, its people, and its faith-based identity.

The Qur’an Raised High… At the Heart of the Battle

The masses raised copies of the Holy Qur’an in reverence and veneration of God’s eternal Book, affirming their attachment to it as a source of dignity and honor, and as the path to guidance and success in this world and the Hereafter.

Waving Yemeni and Palestinian flags, the crowds thundered chants of anger and condemnation against repeated American and Zionist insults to the Holy Qur’an and the hatred and hostility they embody toward Islam and Muslims. They chanted slogans affirming that the Qur’an is the Ummah’s weapon and the measure of its dignity, and that defending it is an existential battle that allows no complacency.

Chants of Anger and Messages of Defiance

The crowds chanted phrases capturing the spirit of the struggle, including:
“America is the greatest devil… and we will defeat it with the Qur’an,”
“The Qur’an is the Book of God… the enemies of God will not escape,”
“The soldiers of Satan burn my glorious Qur’an,”
“From Yemen of faith—our anger will not compromise on the Qur’an,”
“O Gaza, O Palestine… you are not alone.”

These chants underscored the unity of the battle between defending the Qur’an and supporting Palestine, rejecting any separation between the sacred and political stance.

The Mufti of Yemen: Yemen at the Forefront in Defending the Book of God

During the march, the Mufti of Yemen, Sheikh Shams al-Din Sharaf al-Din, affirmed that the Yemeni people have always been—and remain—at the forefront of those who defend the Book of God and confront enemies. He praised the massive turnout and broad participation, especially by scholars, in condemning the American crime against the Holy Qur’an.

He noted that this honorable stance embodies the Prophet’s saying, peace and blessings be upon him and his family: “Indeed, I sense the breath of the Most Merciful from this direction.” He affirmed that those who will stand against American and Israeli tyranny are the men of God imbued with the meanings of the Qur’an, and that the most powerful response to the insult is this steadfast presence, continued activities, joining “Al-Aqsa Flood” courses, spending in God’s cause, and preparing to confront the enemies.

March Statement: A Comprehensive War on Islam and the Ummah’s Identity

The statement issued by the march asserted that the repeated and systematic campaigns insulting the Holy Qur’an are part of a comprehensive Jewish-Zionist war targeting Islam, Muslims, and their sanctities—led by the United States, Israel, and Britain, and followed by their allies.

It noted that these insults coincide with ongoing Zionist crimes in Palestine, attacks on Lebanon, violations of Syria, and threats against Yemen, with American and British backing, amid Arab complacency and blatant global silence.

A Firm Faith-Based Stance and Readiness for the Next Phase

The statement declared that the Yemeni people’s participation in these million-strong marches stems from their faith-based identity honored by the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. It affirmed steadfast faith-driven support for the oppressed Palestinian people, high readiness, and ful
