Press Release
Al-Sakani and Al-Houthi are not Equal
What is wrong with you? How do you Judge?!
(Translated)

On Wednesday, 11/09/2019, the Houthis broadcasted the news of the killing of Mohammad Ali Qayid Dhawi in Marib, who they blamed for the assassination of Ibrahim al-Houthi (brother of Abdul Malik al-Houthi) in Sana'a in the first ten of Dhul Hijjah in 1440 AH.

This is a record time between the killing of al-Houthi and Dhawi, which was celebrated by the Ministry of Interior in a statement issued on Wednesday 11/09/2019. But the question arises: do the Houthis retaliate with equal speed from all those who commit criminal acts, especially those under their authority, let alone those deep inside their opponent? Unfortunately and with confidence we say: no. Many people in Yemen and abroad learned of the killing of Sheikh al-Sakani last April, unjustly and aggressively, and that the perpetrator of the sinful act is a Houthi director, who was smuggled to the same area where they retaliated from the killer of Ibrahim al-Houthi, but rather is on the side under the control of the Houthis themselves. And that Muhammad Ali al-Houthi and Abu Ali al-Hakim attended the protesters from the province of Amran who were demanding retribution from al-Sakani’s killer, and they promised retribution from his killer, and also gave the promise of Abdul Malik al-Houthi to the protesters to retaliate as soon as possible from the killer. But to this day they have not fulfilled what they promised, and Abdul Malik al-Houthi did not interfere in fulfilling his promises to the protesters.

We remind Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi and Abu Ali al-Hakim that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ: إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ»

“The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise). If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)” And Allah (swt) says:

(وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ)

“And when you judge between people to judge with justice.” [An-Nisa: 58]

This disproves their trust over ruling, since according to their rule, there is a difference between blood and blood! The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمِ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمِ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَد، وَايْمُ اللهِ، لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا»

“O People, the people were indeed destroyed before you because if one of their noble’s stole they would let him go free and if one of their weak stole they would implement the prescribed punishment upon him. By Allah if Fatimah the daughter of Muhammad was to have stolen I would have cut off her hand.” [Narrated by Bukhari and An-Nasa'i by Urwah ibn al-Zubayr] Al-Sakani killer is only an example, as those who their blood was spilled unjustly are many, while the Houthi and Abed Rabbo prisons are filled with oppressed people, and their fronts are full of criminals who shed blood and then took refuge in the fronts as ‘Mujahideen’!

The rule of Islam has no place for desires, and it is only for those who place people in one position, like the words of the Khaleefah (Caliph) Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him:

"والضعيف فيكم قوي عندي حتى أريح عليه حقه إن شاء الله، والقوى فيكم ضعيف حتى آخذ الحق منه إن شاء الله"

“The weak amongst you shall be strong with me until I have secured his rights, if Allah wills; and the strong amongst you shall be weak with me until I have wrested from him the rights of others, if Allah wills”. This can only be in light of the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, so let the people of Iman hasten to work with Hizb ut Tahrir to establish it.
