Is It True That Saudi Arabia Has Destroyed Yemen and Killed Innocent Women and Children There by Shaykh Zakariyyah ibn Shuʿayb al-ʿAdanī

Pivotal Quotes

“The reality [and the Shaykh is a Yemenī living in Yemen] of what Saudi Arabia  has done for our country is that these are shining white hands that have been extended forth and they have helped us and stood by us  and we continue to live in the shade of all the help that has been extended to us by them…”

“So this is part of a media war, and there are several different types of war. One of them is a biological war, with viruses like the Coronavirus that we are witnessing right now—this is war. There is a different type of war that is a technological war, we have a cold war, we have a media war, we have—obviously—a war with weapons, and we have economic warfare. All of these are different shades of warfare.  And the lies that are told about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are part of that media warfare.

Question:

Our Shaykh, may Allāh bless you, many of the ḥizbīs and activists attack Saudi Arabia and actively try to ruin the reputation of Saudi Arabia worldwide. They claim that Saudi Arabia has destroyed Yemen and killed innocent people and killed women and children. So please clarify to us the situation there in Yemen, whether or not this is true at all and how do we respond to the people who make such claims? 

Answer:

No one talks bad about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia except Ṣāḥib Hawá (a person of desires). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a country of Tawḥīd and nobody talks bad about that country except the ḥizbīs, the liberals, the atheists and everyone who is an enemy of Islām and an enemy of the Sunnah, the likes of the Ikhwān al-Muslimīn. They are the ones who run around spreading this false speech. The Ikhwānis and the likes of them who are chasing behind them grabbing their tails, the likes of the Surūrīs and the Quṭbīs, the ones who are defending the Ḥūthīs and defending all of the crimes that the Ḥūthīs have propagated. 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has stood with Yemen and worked side by side with Yemen in protecting Yemen from all of the destruction that is actually taking place with the weapons sent by Irān. It is the Iranian Shīʿī government that is trying to destroy Yemen, not Saudi Arabia. And the reality is that Saudi Arabia is a country that people are jealous of and they only hate this country because it is a country of Tawḥīd and Sunnah; and if they loved Tawḥīd or Sunnah they would love this country.

As for warfare taking place and some occasional unintended mistakes taking place, then perhaps yes, this has happened. However, what they (the enemies of Saudi Arabia and the enemies of Tawḥīd and Sunnah) want to do is to shine the spotlight on these small, isolated incidents and blow them out of proportion because this is part of their media war. 

The reality [and the Shaykh is a Yemenī living in Yemen] of what Saudi Arabia  has done for our country is that these are shining white hands that have been extended forth and they have helped us and stood by us  and we continue to live in the shade of all the help that has been extended to us by them.

As for the media war and publicity stunts that are pulled and all of the attacks that are pointed and directed at Saudi Arabia by the ḥizbīs and the likes, we ask the same people that are launching those attacks: Did you ever talk about the Buddhist government in Burma and what they are doing to the Muslims there? Did you ever talk about the Chinese government and what they are doing to our Uyghur brothers there? Have you ever said anything about them? Did you ever say anything about the Turkish ʿUthmānī government and all of the destruction that they did to the Muslims?

Why is the only government that you have to talk about is the government of Tawḥīd and Sunnah? Why is the only country that you want to attack is the country that protects Tawḥīd and Sunnah? Why? Tell me why? You are looking with a crooked eye at this country because of the sickness in your hearts, that is why.

So this is part of a media war, and there are several different types of war. One of them is a biological war, with viruses like the Coronavirus that we are witnessing right now—this is war. There is a different type of war that is a technological war, we have a cold war, we have a media war, we have—obviously—a war with weapons, and we have economic warfare. All of these are different shades of warfare.  And the lies that are told about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are part of that media warfare.

So, we advise our brothers to leave alone these parrots who are propagating these statements and not waste your time with them because they are simply involved in a media/publicity stunt and media warfare.

Journalists, all of them, except whom our Lord shows mercy—and you may never find one of the journalists whom Allāh has shown mercy—all of them, except whom Allāh may show mercy, are dajjālūn (big, filthy, stinking liars). Every single journalist, except whom Allāh has shown mercy, is a stinking, filthy liar. If they tell one piece of truth, they told a thousand lies before it.

So it is an obligation upon the Muslim to do his research before accepting what these stinking, filthy, liars say. They talk about what is going on in Yemen and wallāhi, they are lying about our country and the situation that our people are living in. They bring all these statistics and say that 66٪ of the Yemenī population is dying of starvation, wallāhi they are liars. Yes, there is some hunger present in Yemen but is there a famine and are people dying of starvation? Is this the situation of our country? We are all dying out? No! That is a lie. The way that they are portraying the situation of Yemen is a stinking, filthy lie and they are exaggerating about the situation.
