Imams endorse war on the oppressor
Head of the Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais has praised the government for launching Operation Decisive Storm in Yemen, describing it as a “legitimate” action to protect the citizens of that country from oppression. "Abdur Rahman" and "Abdelrahman" redirect here. For other uses, see Abdur Rahman (disambiguation). Abdelrahman or Abd al-Rahman or Abdul Rahman or Abdurrahman or Abdrrahman (Arabic: عبد الرحمن or occasionally عبد الرحمان; DMGʿAbd ar-Raḥman) is a male Arabic Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Rahman. The name means "servant of the most gracious", ar-Rahman being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. The letter A of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. Because the letter R is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to Abd al-Rahman, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd ar-Rahman. Alternative transliterations include Abd ar-Rahman, Abdulrahman, Abdur Rehman, Abdul Rehman, Abidur Rahman, Abdrrahman, and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation. Certain transliterations tend to be associated with certain areas, for example, Abdirahman in Somalia, Abderrahmane in French-speaking North Africa, or Abdelrahman in Egypt. Notable people with the name include: Islam's holiest mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia Masjid al-Haram (Arabic: ٱَلْمَسْجِدُ ٱلْحَرَام, romanized: al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, lit. 'The Sacred Mosque'), also known as the Sacred Mosque or the Great Mosque of Mecca, is considered to be the most significant mosque in Islam. It encloses the vicinity of the Kaaba in Mecca, in the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia. It is among the pilgrimage sites associated with the Hajj, which every Muslim must perform at least once in their lives if able. It is also the main site for the performance of ʿUmrah, the lesser pilgrimage that can be undertaken any time of the year. The rites of both pilgrimages include circumambulating the Kaaba within the mosque. The Great Mosque includes other important significant sites, such as the Black Stone, the Zamzam Well, Maqam Ibrahim, and the hills of Safa and Marwa. As of 2024, the Great Mosque is both the largest mosque in the world, and the most expensive building in the world. It has undergone major renovations and expansions through the years. It has passed through the control of various caliphs, sultans and kings, and is now under the control of the King of Saudi Arabia who is titled the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Further information: Islamic architecture The Great Mosque contends with the Masjid As-Sahabah in the Eritrean city of Massawa and Quba Mosque in Medina as the oldest mosque. According to Islamic tradition, Islam as a religion precedes Muhammad, representing previous prophets such as Abraham. According to Islamic scholars, Abraham is seen as having built the Kaaba in Mecca, and consequently its sanctuary, which according to the Muslim view is seen as the first mosque that ever existed.[18&# .
In his Friday sermon at the Grand Mosque, Al-Sudais said the government’s actions have made it clear that it would not allow anyone to threaten the safety and security of a fellow Arab nation and Saudi Arabia.
“The Kingdom has embarked on an initiative that will be written in history as a move to champion the cause of the oppressed in Yemen,” Al-Sudais said in his sermon.
“Yemen is dear to all Muslims and the decision to extend a helping hand to the brothers in Yemen is characteristic of the Kingdom’s rulers. Operation Decisive Storm is a legitimate duty undertaken by the Kingdom in line with its traditional practice of helping the oppressed,” he said.
There was every indication that the mission would be a success because the Kingdom was being guided by a belief based on God’s laws, and the strength and unity of the coalition forces, he said.
He commended the Arab states for uniting to tackle the Houthis and appealed to the Yemenis to stand together so that they can protect their country.
He also praised the soldiers on the front lines, saying they were brave and fighting a holy war to protect their country and religion. The youth should rally behind their leaders, he said.
Imam and khateeb at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Sheikh Abdul Muhsin Al-Qassim, told worshippers assembled for the Friday prayer that only a strong belief in God would unify them, and enable them to live virtuous and successful lives.
Al-Qassim said Almighty Allah has ordered believers to fight oppressors and help protect the oppressed. “Rescuing oppressed people was a noble quality of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) even before he became a prophet,” he said.
He praised the Kingdom’s leaders for going Abd al-Rahman
