U-19 Boys, keep it up

Stop war in Yemen
Yemen is on the verge of total destruction because of the prolong civil war. The death of thousands of innocent civilians, particularly children, and starvation by millions cannot be accepted. The civil war in Yemen is against the principles of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (Sm) said just before the Battle of Badr, do not kill old, unarmed men and women, children, lame, crippled, saints, and cut not trees. By trees, he referred to commercial and economic establishments.
The war is against Verse No.4/75 in which the helpless men and women and children are crying to Allah for a saviour. As such, may we request Saudi Arabia to stop the war for the sake of Muslim ummah and mankind?
