The Houthis

By Dr. Muhammad Al-Demerdash Al-Aqali, a researcher and expert in Islamic sects and sects, who reveals in his book the truth about the "Houthi" group that has forcefully imposed itself on the surface of events recently, the truth about their beliefs and the history of their presence on the land of happy Yemen. What are their goals? Who are their famous imams? The author discusses what combines Zaidiyyah with the doctrine of the Sunnis and the community of unity of principles and pillars and satisfaction with the companions of the Prophet Adnan (may God bless him and grant him peace), and their disagreement with regard to who was worthy of the caliphate after the Messenger of Islam, and who should have the right to the basis of the imamate over time, as he highlights The author sheds light, in simple language, on the truth of the beliefs of the Zaidis of Yemen in terms of their closeness to the Twelver Shiite doctrine, including the claim that the Imam, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, deserved to succeed the Muslims before the "two sheikhs," may God be pleased with them and please them... and what they differed from them in, rejecting the belief in kindness, or the belief in infallibility. Imams, or their exclusive knowledge of the knowledge assigned to them. And many, many more. The writer analyzes the war raging on the land of Yemen between the Houthis - who are the latest version of the Yemeni Zayouds - and the Sunni Yemeni tribes, and the nature of the historical relationship with Iran. This war opened an intellectual debate and a sectarian dispute over the doctrine of the Zaydis in the past and the Houthis in the modern era. There is no doubt that this book represents an important addition to the library, as it has led to the decline of the Zaydi doctrine in the country of happy Yemen, and the fact that most of its sources are still manuscripts lying in the library of the Great Mosque in Sana''a or in the Individuals from the Zaydiyyah of Yemen - to make it the least of the Islamic sects that has the least chance of being studied and classified, and the easiest for them to criticize and criticize.. The question remains; Does the development of events constitute the writing of a new history for Yemen or the beginning of a crisis whose end only God knows?
