Leader of the Revolution: The Martyr of the Qur’an Spoke the Truth and Restored the Nation’s Awareness and Responsibility in Confronting the Forces of Tyranny

Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi affirmed that the voice of the Martyr of the Qur’an—may God be pleased with him—was distinct from all others: a voice that proclaimed the truth, spoke through the Holy Qur’an, and moved from a foundation of faith-based responsibility in confronting the most dangerous assaults targeting the nation’s religion, worldly life, freedom, and dignity.

In a speech marking the annual anniversary of the Martyr of the Qur’an, the Leader explained that this voice confronted the enemies at the peak of their comprehensive offensive, at a time when the nation had been reduced to a state of total subjugation to its worst enemies—arms of the American, Israeli, and British Zionist project—seeking to erase Islamic identity and dominate the nation.

He noted that the Martyr of the Qur’an’s trust in God was conscious and profound, grounded in firm belief that the Holy Qur’an carries comprehensive guidance capable of reforming and transforming the nation’s reality, and in the explicit divine promise of victory. He stressed that the stagnation and inaction seen across broad segments of the nation stem from weakened trust in God’s promise.

The Leader stated that the nation is being targeted with humiliation and enslavement, and that it is in dire need of action guided by God’s methodology in order to stand in a position of victory over its enemies. He pointed out that weakness of faith negatively impacts the nation’s confidence in God’s clear and explicit promise of triumph.

He affirmed that God’s guidance is comprehensive in confronting all challenges and dangers across all stages, noting that the prevailing condition today is the nation’s turning away from the Qur’an as a source of guidance in both orientation and practical positions.

Addressing the defining traits of the Martyr of the Qur’an, the Leader highlighted foremost his piety and heightened sense of responsibility, explaining that the Holy Qur’an revives within the nation the spirit of sacred responsibility—manifest in concepts such as jihad and enjoining good and forbidding evil.

He pointed out that evil infiltrates the nation through corrupt actors who spread corruption on earth, and that their policies and practices represent tyranny, criminality, injustice, and فساد. This, he said, is the path followed by the forces of tyranny and arrogance in our time, embodied by the Zionist Jewish lobby and its arms—the United States, Israel, Britain, and their allies.

The Leader affirmed that the conflict between truth and falsehood is an enduring historical struggle, and that the steadfast responsibility of God’s prophets and saints has always been to establish justice and confront tyranny and oppression. He stressed that calling to goodness is among the greatest sacred responsibilities across the ages.

He clarified that the nation today is not exempt from bearing responsibility, and that fulfilling it is essential to preserving Islamic belonging in its pure, authentic, and rooted form. He warned of the grave consequences and severe repercussions of neglecting this duty.

He noted that the dominance of tyrants and criminals over societies is no simple matter, as it targets human freedom and moral integrity, preventing individuals from pursuing life in accordance with God’s guidance. He explained that the Martyr of the Qur’an moved with the highest possible level of awareness and insight, striving to awaken the nation in confronting this reality.

The Leader emphasized that Qur’anic awareness and insight are among the greatest needs of the nation in facing the extensive misinformation campaigns waged by enemies through media, culture, and diverse methods. He stated that the front of evil—comprising Jews and Christians and their allies—is a front of misguidance, corruption, and tyranny, as affirmed by the Holy Qur’an.

He pointed out that campaigns of misinformation and falsification have reached unprecedented levels in this era, and that the confusion and emptiness afflicting wide segments of the nation are the result of distancing from the Holy Qur’an. He affirmed that alternative frameworks are fragile and incapable of providing the vision and illumination that the Qur’an offers.

The Leader explained that the Holy Qur’an dispels darkness no matter how intense, illuminates the path, and fortifies the nation with insight and awareness, noting that the lessons and lectures delivered by the Martyr of the Qur’an embody this elevated awareness and Qur’anic insight.

He concluded by stressing that the Qur’anic project is an inevitable necessity for the nation in confronting the broad targeting it faces from major international powers—foremost among them the United States, Israel, and Britain—and their regional instruments, which
