Zayedism is a radical variant of Jihadism and Shia Theocracy which in the future mixed with Juche ideas and spread to Yemen among the Ansar Allah (Houthi movement). This ideology is the author of the most brutal regime in modern history which is based on the following principles:The absolute supremacy of the law of Shiism, Planned Economy, the actual complete legalization of slavery and cannibalism, Cultist fundamentalism, etc.
Actually, the Zayedites are one of the old Shiite sects that originated in the era of the Umayyad Caliphate. Therefore, they have undergone significant changes, especially in the 21st century.
overview
Zayedism (Arabic: الزيدية, romanized: az-Zayadiyah) is a sect of Shia Islam that emerged in the eighth century following Zayed ibn Ali‘s unsuccessful rebellion against the Umayyad Caliphate. According to their statement, Muslims succumbed to Kufr (disbelief) after the death of Muhammad and only they - the Zayedis - are the inhabitants of the true faith of Muslims.
According to Hussein al-Quraishi al-Houthi, Zayedis find it difficult to "sit in their houses" and remain passive in an unjust world which is ruled by infidels and oppresses Muslims."
Zayedis believe in the infallibility of Zayedis Imāms and do not ascribe them with any supernatural qualities and promote their leadership the rest they give to Takfira. They also reject the notion of nass imamate found in Twelver Shi'ism and Isma'ili Shi'ism. Zayedis believe that Zayd ibn Ali in his last hour was betrayed by the people in Kufa. Zayedis as of 2014 constitute roughly 0.5% of the world's Muslim population
History
Zayedi State
Zayed believed the time was ripe for renewing the rebellion against the Umayyad Caliphs in support of the claims of his own Hashemite clan. He believed that the caliphate was mired in sins and the time had come for Muslims to rise up to stop the renunciation of the Qūran. Because of this Zaydis created their own state to fight the Umayyads, but suffered several defeats and then were almost completely exterminated and disappeared from view for several hundred years while maintaining their beliefs until the Rasulid era came.
The Rasulids
The Rasulid era is often considered one of the most brilliant in the history of Yemen. While the history of this region has usually been characterized by deep political and religious divisions, the extent of territory that the Rasulids ruled would not be superseded until (briefly) in the seventeenth century. The southern coast of Arabia up to Dhofar was kept under loose control. Rasulid influence stretched as far as Zafan near Salalah in Oman, where a side-branch of the family governed for a while. While the Hijaz fell to the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, the Rasulids temporarily held control over the holy city of Mecca, accordingly raising their own prestige. The Rasulid state was comparatively centralized and kept an extensive bureaucratic apparatus to oversee the collection of taxes and other needs of the state. In every larger city, two royal officials were placed called wali (or amir) and nasir (or zimam or mushidd). A considerable concern with the prosperity of the peasantry can be gleaned from the chronicles. The state also had a strong repressive apparatus that was constantly hunting for people loyal to Kufr, which in turn resulted in a huge number of uprisings. As a result, the state fell due to interdynastic wars.
Ansar Allah movement
The Houthis or Ansrah Allah or Ansarullah are a new movement of radical Zayedis that aims to restore the Zayedi State, construction of Sharia law. The founder of the movement was a clear sympathizer of the ideas of Arab socialists and Ba'athists, so they also set as their goal the construction of communism after the day of judgment and that every Muslim believer is first and foremost a Yemeni, and secondly a Marxist.However, both Muslims and Marxists disown the Houthis because of their radicalism and specific interpretations of ideas. Since the date of its founding, namely since 1994, the Houthis have been constantly fighting with the authorities for the sake of establishing an Islamic state. Their radicalism eventually led to the start of the full-scale civil war in Yemen, which they are still in today. Since 2014, they control half of Yemen and are de facto its government.
Yemeni Arab Republic
After the outbreak of the civil war, the Houthis were able to capture most of the country, subjugating two major cities and 98% of the population. In this territory they established the worst regime in modern history. Yemen Arab Republic under Houthi rule murdered tens of thousands of civilians, kidnapped several thousand people, and forced hundreds of thousands of others to flee. It systematically committed torture, mass rapes, forced marriages, extreme acts of ethnic cleansing, mass murder, mass cannibalism, artificial starvation,genocide, robbery, extortion, smuggling, slavery, kidnappings, and the use of child soldiers; in its implementation of strict interpretations of Sharia law which were based on ancient eighth-century methods, they carried out public "punishments". In addition, in their experience they began based on North Korea, proclaiming a sense of national independence and promoting a specific form of planned economy, which was more like Planned militarized-barter.
Ideological Beliefs
Shia militant
USA Today writes that "The Zayedites is a group of Sunni militants" that "believes in the strict enforcement of Sharia law in an even more perverted form than al-Qaeda or even ISIS.Quote from one of the letters to the prince of Saudi Arabia from the Houthis "The West and capitalism is trying to enforce its agenda on you — and the Saudi government is helping them — and China is trying to colonize the Arab world. So we — Ansar Allah — are defending Islam and socialist revolution.
Qutbism
The Zayedites adheres to far-jihadist principles and follows the hard-line ideology of al-Qaeda and many other modern-day jihadist groups, but in a more radical form. Sayyid Qutb is considered the "Father of the Jihadi-Salafi" movement, thus followers of the Salafi-Jihadi school are often derogatorily labelled as "Qutbi". One of the important elements of modern Zayedism as well as its extremist practices are thought to be derived from the Jihadist works of the Egyptian scholar Sayyid Qutb and the manuals of the hard-line wings of the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Wahhabism
The Zayedites aims to return to the early days of Islam, rejecting all innovations in the religion, which it believes corrupts its original spirit. It condemns later caliphates and the Ottoman Empire for deviating from what it calls pure Islam.Following Salafi-Jihadi tradition, the condemns the followers of secular law as disbelievers, putting the current Saudi government in that category. They also believe that Sunnis are the main apostates of Islam who betrayed the divine blood of Quraish.
Yemeni Shia Wahhabi practices followed by the group include the establishment of religious police to root out "vice" and enforce attendance at salat prayers, the widespread use of capital punishment, and the destruction or re-purposing of any non-Shia religious buildings. In other words, Zayeditist creed can be described as a kind of untamed Wahhabism or what Zayedites adopting Wahhabi "puritanism," but denying the modern Saudi Kingdom any legitimacy as founders of a State, as the head of the Mosque, or as interpreter of the Qur'an. The Zayedites claims all these attributes for itself and change to suit the specifics of beast Shiism.
Although Zayedites adheres to the theology of Ibn Taymiyyah, it rebels against all Shia schools of law as well as Sunni traditional Salafi interpretations. Their lack of adherence to Shia legal authorities, coupled with absence of major manuals of law for reference led Zayedism to derive personal rulings based on self-interpretation of Qur'an and Traditions. Zayedites does not differentiate between Sufis and Salafis in their anathemization. Although Zayedites claims to be Salafi they condemn majority of Salafis and despite adopting a Jihadist worldview, they condemn majority of Jihadists. They called Kuffr all the Sunni radicals.
Khawarij
Sunni and Shia critics, including Salafi and jihadist muftis, say that Zayedites and related terrorist groups are not Sunnis or Shiites, but modern-day Khawarij—Muslims who have stepped outside the mainstream of Islam—serving an imperial anti-Islamic agenda.
Views on the economy
Zayedites maintain a highly centralized and planned economy in Yemen. Agriculture, industry, and other sectors were under strict state control, and market reforms were canceled. This led to serious economic problems and a lack of economic development in the country. In addition, they believe that the planned economy was first built under Muhammad and returning to it is preserving the Wahhabi tradition.
Socialistic Takfir
Zayedi sectarianism and takfiri approach is historically rooted in Rassulid era. Its ideological roots are found in the writings of Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhabi. The takfir (declaring self-proclaimed Muslims to be apostates, which usually also means calling for their death) of Zayedites on large numbers of Muslims has been a point of difference between itself and other jihadis such as Al-Qaeda and brings him closer to groups such as IS. Zayedism is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people. Zayedites has given a higher priority to fighting what it views as apostates than "original disbelievers" (Jews, Christians, Hindus, etc.). Consequently, the majority of the "470,947 terrorist deaths" it has been responsible for as of 2020 have been Muslims it regards "as kafir". On the other hand, the demarcation of believers and non-believers is more complex than a simple assignation of religious faith. Takfiri ideology is a significant part of Zayedites identity and being, and a message emphasizing the pure Islam of Zayedites supporters and the otherness, unbelief and apostasy of other Muslims permeates its media/propaganda. Zayedites especially single out Sunni Muslims in Takfir, accusing them of being bourgeois and enslaved by capitalism.
