Hawzah News Agency- Allameh Abdullah Hammoud Al-Azi, a Yemeni thinker was a keynote speaker in the conference honoring and explaining the personality of Hazrat Zayd bin Ali (PBUH) on Tuesday, August 23 to commemorate the anniversary of his martyrdom, with the presence of Iranian and Yemeni scholars and thinkers in the Hall of Lady Khadija, located in Lady Masuma Holy Shrine during which he said,” Zayd ibn Ali is one of the elders of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT), who should be well introduced so that the Islamic Community will become more united with the introduction of these elders.”

Referring to the position of Zayd ibn Ali and the need to emulate these elders and implement his way in life, Abdullah Hammoud Al-Azi said,” holding such conferences will bring the culture of Shia Muslims closer and create a constructive interaction between religions that will build the future of Islam.”

This Yemeni thinker said,” Such gatherings among the Shia sects incite the enemies of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) to rage and anger because they are constantly sowing division between religions and Muslims, and in order to create this division, they constantly use any means so that the convergence of religions does not happen. They are conspiring so that the problems among religions should not be solved.”

Referring to the scientific position of Zayd ibn Ali, Hammoud Al-Azi added,” He reached a great stage of knowledge, and his nickname was Hanif al-Qur'an, and when Imam al-Baqir (PBUH) was asked about Zayd, he said, "I am talking about someone who is full of knowledge and faith from head to toe."

The Yemeni thinker went on to point to the religious faith of Zayd ibn Ali and his other characteristics, and said,” The son of Zayd ibn Ali narrated that my father was a devotee who spent the day in worship and the night in prayer, and he was one of the most eloquent people of his time; his whole life and behavior draws us to God.”

This Yemeni scholar stated that the whole life of Zayd ibn Ali was a Jihad and noted,” Zayd ibn Ali rose to promote the genuine Islam, while the Umayyad had distorted Islam as they liked and had introduced deviant traditions into the religion; therefore the uprising of Zayd ibn Ali was intended to correct concepts among Muslims that existed throughout their lives, and their uprising should not limited to just an armed uprising.”
