Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
The Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, canceled the sermon of the first Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, which he delivered after taking over the caliphate, from the educational curriculum within the framework of the amendments it made to the educational curricula, which aimed to perpetuate sectarian and racist concepts of its own.
This deletion comes within the process of extensive amendments that the Houthi militia has made and is still making to educational curricula, especially since 2018, when it began to introduce amendments to many educational curricula for basic and secondary education, especially in the subjects of the Holy Qur’an, Islamic education, Arabic language, history, and civic education. .
And educational sources in Sanaa told NewsYemen: The Houthi militia has deleted the famous sermon of the first caliph Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq from the Arabic language book for the ninth grade, which was part of the text lessons on rhetoric from the edition of the new curriculum for the current year.
The Arabic language book for the ninth grade included the sermon of the Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, which he delivered after taking over the caliphate after the death of the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and which is one of the most famous, shortest and most eloquent sermons, in which he said: If I do well, help me, and if I do wrong, correct me. Truth is a trust, and lying is treachery, and the weak among you is strong in me until I give him his right, God willing, and the strong among you is weak until I take the right from him, God willing. Immorality never spreads among a people except that God blinded them to affliction. Obey me as long as I obey God and His Messenger, and if I disobey God and His Messenger, then there is no obedience to me upon you.”
The educational sources added: In addition to deleting the sermon of Caliph Abu Bakr from the curriculum, the militias directed schools that did not receive the new edition and are still studying the old edition to cancel the lesson of the sermon of Caliph Abu Bakr from the course.
The Houthi militias openly declare their sectarian positions, which see the allegiance of al-Saqifa, in which Abu Bakr al-Siddiq was chosen as the caliph of the Muslims after the death of the Prophet, as a deviation from the concept of guardianship, which claims that the caliphate should have been transferred to Ali bin Abi Talib and no one else, as he is the Prophet’s cousin and son-in-law. , based on false allegations in which no Qur’anic text or prophetic hadith was mentioned, but rather it is one of the most prominent issues that represented a justification and reason for the conflicts and wars that the successive Islamic eras witnessed since the killing of the third Caliph Othman bin Affan until today.
