The Role of Saudi Arabia in the Islamic world.

(November 11, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Hijaz region which is recognized today by the name of Saudi Arabia is exemplary and unique in many regards. The Holy Kaaba is present on this piece of land due to which the greatness of this land is non comparable to any other land. The Holy Kaaba is referred to as "Baitullah" (The house of Allah) in Quran. The esteemed city of Mecca is present in Hijaz and inside it is the House of Allah. A vast area on the land of Mecca is known as "Haram" (sacred land). In Hijaz the desert of Arafah is present, the land of Mashhar, the valley of Mina, Safa, Marwa and Zamzam is also there.

In Hijaz is the birth place of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s) and it has on the Mount of Noor, the Cave of Hira. Hijaz is the land of Revelations and the station of descending of Quran. It is the land of Prophethood and Messengers. It has the sacred shrine of the greatest of all Prophets and it is the Medina of Prophet (s.a.w.s). It has place of birth and burial of the Progeny of Prophet (s.a.w.s). The companions of Prophet (s.a.w.s) have spend their lives on this land and the grave of the Doyen of Martyrs , Hamza is also present on this land.

The completion of the chain of Prophets has happened on this land. It is also the land of miracles. The greatest of all civilizations in history was evident on this land. The elegant face of just governance was seen on this land by the people living in ignorance. It is the land of arousing of Prophets, place of migration, the place of circumbulation of Prophets, the ground of holy crusade, the tombs of martyrs, the place of sacrifice of Ismail, the place of struggle of Hajar, the station of examination for Ibrahim, the footsteps of Fatema (s.a), the place of upbringing of Hasnain (a.s), the place of Ali (a.s), the asset of Islam and the Qiblah of Muslims. In entire history the land of Hijaz has been the centre of attention for humanity and even today it is the centre of attention and will remain till the day of judgement.

The Qiblah of Muslims

Every year millions of Muslims gather in Mecca and Medina for delivering the obligatory rituals of Hajj. For doing Umrah and paying homage to the shrine of Prophet (s.a.w.s) hundreds of thousands of Muslims travel to this land. Every Muslim has this longing desire in his heart to visit the House of Allah in Mecca and pay homage to the shrine of Prophet (s) at least once in his lifetime. The hearts of Muslims irrespective of where they live are always present in Hijaz. Today more than 1 billion Muslims offer their prayers facing this land and consider the remembrance of Mecca and Medina as worship. And they also consider any talks and discussions about Mecca and Medina as sacred.


The centre of Muslim nation (Muslim Ummah)

All this was done as part of divine wisdom. Allah (s) selected Mecca for Kaaba and commanded Ibrahim, the friend of Allah to migrate towards this land, then got his house constructed here by the hands of his Friend (Ibrahim).

Then through this leader of mankind (Ibrahim) invited people for Hajj and later selected the land of Mecca as the birth place for his beloved Prophet (s.a.w.s). He (s.w.t) descended the Quran on this land and established the House of Allah as the Qiblah for Muslims instead of the Aqsa Mosque.

This land was declared as the centre of earth, centre of humanity and centre for the followers of Islam. He also made this as the centre of worship so that the Muslim nation should have one centre around which they gather. They should become one unified nation (Ummah) to follow truth, to stand against the enemies of Allah, to spread the name of Allah, to disgrace infidelity and by abstaining the path of misguidance they should remain firm on the path of righteousness.


The land of miracles

Allah has extracted this land out from sovereignty of tribes and communities making it public for all Muslims so that every Muslim has freedom to come to this land. According to George Jordac that land which due to its air and water was not beneficial for any person, it was neither useful for settlement or for comfort living, it was neither appropriate for business nor for tourism, the vastness of this dreadful desert could only be measured by imaginations, where everything is restless and even the sand particles do not remain stationary in one place, the scorching desert of this land has made its residents nomadic, where a single drop of water does not comes down from the skies for years in a stretch, not a single straw of grass grows out of earth and the residents of this land were barbaric, wild, blunt and uncivilized but Allah (s) selected this land for the greatest and biggest of all miracles. It was selected for such a Prophet and a constitution which in a short span of time subjugated the entire world and from where a ever growing civilization from human history got manifested.

The Land of Revolution

According to Ameerul Momineen (a.s) Allah (s) aroused his last Prophet in these rocky mountains and sand deserts who granted the entire world an immortal constitution of life by his ethics and values. The sand and dry air weather of Hijaz has the ability to dominate the world. It contains the ability to transform barbarism into civilization and discords into unity. This land has the strength to transform bloodshed into peace and develop an environment of spirituality instead of materialism. This Qiblah of Muslim has full power present in it to bend down the necks of entire humanity in front of truth and righteousness. But all these are not the effects of its dust, its sandy desserts or its rocky mountains; these are not the achievements of the Bedouins and camel herders of this land but instead all these are due to Islam, Quran and Holy Prophet else this land has seen the era of ignorance as well. Human being were buried alive here, movement of bloodshed was there and such level of tyranny and oppression was present which was never seen on any other part of earth.

The two sides of the Land of Hijaz

There are several ups and downs in the land of Hijaz, the era of ignorance has passed from here, the most ignorant children of Adam has spend their lives here, purest of human beings have also opened their eyes on this land, Hijaz was a temple of idol worship as well as the centre of monotheism, it has been the place of Satanic visits and also the station for descending of Angels, Abul Jahl and Abul Lahb were born on this land but also Mohammad and Ali, the evil tree was also year whereas the pure tree is also here, the tyrants and assassinators were here but also martyrs and oppressed, the liver chewer Hind and his family has been settled here whereas the family of Doyen of Martyrs Hamza was also here, there were companions as well as polytheists, there were believers as well as hypocrites, there was progeny of Prophet (s.a.w.s) and also enemies of Ahlulbayt (a.s), there were Jews as well as crusaders of Islam present, there was an environment of barbarism and an Islamic government was also established on the same land, there was kingship as well the Caliphate, the shadow of Taghoot (devils) has been here and also the system of Imamate.

History reveals that after the four Caliphs the system of kingship started. After Bani Umayyah the taste of power intoxication was enjoyed by Bani Abbas as well. The Ottoman Turks have also governed this land and after them the accursed shadow of Britain also hovered over this region whose evil traces are still present.


The accursed shadow of English over the world

Amongst the nations of world several communities have done oppression and cruelty over other weak communities but amongst all the cruel nations the English community has proved itself to be the most cruel. Greed, Avarice and looting is the distinguished trait of this community. The crown of looting the entire world is on its forehead. Whenever the English got any clue of wealth and assets present on any land they adopted every crime to loot it; it is as if looting and robbery is in their veins. Hence where there was need to fight they got into battles and where ever treachery was required they acted with deceit. If there existed a need to create dissension and discord they even did not refrain from it. They entered in some places in the name of trading and in some other places with the excuse of settling down. This is the only community whose ancestors have looted all the five big continents, captured their lands and made the local residents of those lands as their slaves.

The English have brutally crushed every obstacle coming in their way of loot and arson. These tyrants did not even leave religion aside specifically the hatred they possessed from the very beginning against the religion of Islam. They have tried every possible way for damaging Islam. In the "Salibi" (Christian Crusade) war entire Europe started a sequential battle in united form against Muslims and in this the British were always in forefront.

From 1189 to 1192 the English king Philip II lead the "Salibi" battle but after being defeated by Salahuddin Ayub came down to treachery.

After this the British never sat comfortably and everyday they devised some conspiracy or some new operation against Muslims. In year 1600 Queen Elizabeth issued an order to start trading inside India. With deception, tricks, oppression and tyranny by 1857 entire India had come under the control of Britain and the flag of these sea pirates was flying over the land of Indian subcontinent. The name sake Muslims , the foolishness of Hindu rulers and the simplicity of Indians has played a significant role in this.

The cradle of the centre of Muslims

After establishing their dominance and control over India the arrogant butchers enhanced their efforts to besiege the centre of Muslims. At that time all the Muslim countries were under Ottoman rulership due to which the Ottoman empire was considered as the super power of that time. The British could not tolerate this super power for a single moment. After being defeated in the "Salibi" battle the conspiracies of treachery and deceit were being worked out to break the Ottoman government. In order to achieve this purpose Britain deployed its spies in different columns of the Ottoman empire whose task was to arouse different tribes and communities against the central government. These spies worked with full dedication and one of its examples is the famous British spy Lieutenant Colonel Edward Lawrence Thomas.

After the first world war when the conspiracy for breaking the Ottoman Empire was decided then as its first step Colonel Lawrence was sent to Arab regions under Ottoman government so that he can arouse the people against the central government and pursue them for a rebellion. Lawrence learnt Arabic language, adopted Arabic culture, understood and took benefits from the strengths and weakness of Arabs. He united various rebellion tribes and with the help of British army he made them fight against the Ottoman government and eventually was successful in this goal. The union of British Pan Arabism and the ideology of Mohammad bin Abdul Wahab together broke into pieces the Ottoman Caliphate thereby establishing a British favouring tribe over its every regional part.

Just like other areas the land of Hijaz was also the centre of attention for Britain because these arrogant thieves were well versed with the significance and importance of this land. They were well aware about the spiritual strength present inside Mecca and Medina. They knew that the two "Haram's" (sacred mosques) of Mecca and Medina are the centre for Muslims across the world. Since it was essential to subjugate this centre for the sake of overcoming Islam Britain supported the ruling tribe of the progeny of Saud in Najd so that the Ottoman dominance over Hijaz can be obliterated. For this heavy blood battles were fought between Arabs and Turks and devastating battles amongst Arabs as well. In these battles two British spies played a significant role. Thomas Lawrence was active in the camp of Shorafa Hashmi and Wiliam Shakepeare in the camp of the Progeny of Saud. The main task of both these spies was to make the rebellion Arab tribes active against the Ottoman government.

William Shakespeare was killed in one of the battles and in his place Britain deployed another spy by the name Harry Saint John Briger Philby. Saint John expressed himself as Muslim and kept his name as Abdullah. He strengthened the Saud family and kept them hopeful on British promises. Hijaz had the governance of Shorafa but due to presence of Lawrence this area was considered as the region under support of Britain. In 1928 a covenant was made between Britain and the Saud family which stated that Britain will not become an obstacle in the way of overpowering Hijaz. In 1932 Britain formally handed over the Hijaz region to the Saud family and the foundations of a new Sultanate was laid which was named as Saudi Arabia.

The History of Aale Saud

The progeny of Saud in reality is from the children of Saud bin Mohammad bin Makran. In 1735 Saud bin Makran first time took over an island and got settled there. This tribe from then kept on spreading and was in the forefront for breaking the Ottoman government.

They have been fighting battles with various other tribes where they were victorious in some and got defeated in some others. The other most supportive element after Britain for the Saud family to come into power were the specific Islamic thoughts of Mohammad bin Abdul Wahab from 1703 to 1792. After Saud bin Makran his son Mohammad bin Saud became his successor. At that time the Saud family was not so strong in comparison with other tribes.

In 1744 Mohammad bin Abdul Wahab was removed out of Ayaina after which he met Mohammad bin Saud in Dariya . They were both happy after meeting each other because they were both in need of each other. Thus a covenant was made between them by which both will unite to capture the region of Najd and its surrounding areas. The religious authority will be with Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab and the political authority will remain with Mohammad bin Saud. In order to strengthen this covenant Mohamed Saud also married the daughter of Mohammad bin Abdul Wahab.

They both with the help of each started to overcome different cities and tribe of Najd region one by one. Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab issued a verdict that if all the Muslims at that time do not accept his thoughts and ideology then they are infidels and it is permissible as well as obligatory to assassinate them. As a consequence open killing of Muslims started and at some places people would show resistance and other places they would accept. They were all authentic Muslims but instead of following the specific Hambali visions of Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab they were following the other Imams of religion.

The specific visions of Mohammad bin Abdul Wahab later became the foundations of Wahabi sect which is the common religion in Saudi Arabia. The family of Saud and the followers of Abdul Wahab accomplished many successes in a short period of time. Almost the entire region of Najd came under their control; the terror of their army spread everywhere; whichever city they visited they invited people towards their ideology and on denials they would loot everything and kill the individuals.

They would behead Muslims and leave the bodies on streets unburied. According to them all other Muslims are polytheists and infidels hence all the assets of other Muslims are permissible and legitimate for them.

The rise of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

After establishing complete control over Najd Aale Saud turned towards Hijaz and captured Mecca in 1806 but in 1819 the Egyptian army attacked and got freedom for Hijaz from the hands of the family of Saud.

After this for once again capturing Hijaz Aale Saud and the followers of Abdul Wahab who were termed as "Ikhawanul Tauheed" (Monotheism Brotherhood) attacked several times and in 1932 Britain handed over the keys of Hijaz completely to Aale Saud. From that time till date Hijaz became part of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia or "المملکة العربیة السعودیہ" (The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) after becoming a kingdom had its first commander Abdul Aziz ibne Abdur Rahman bin Fasil. Soviet Union was the first to accept this government made under the name of Saudi Arabia.

The British favours and blessings

This is how the government of Saudi came into existence at the centre and Qiblah of Muslims. This authority was given to Aale Saudi in return for their services for breaking the great centre of Muslims, the Ottoman Empire. Such kind of favours, blessings and gifts of Britain are found in abundance. The British have always rewarded and compensated those Muslims with authority and power who have revolted and done betrayal against their own nation, community, religion and ideology. The countries and governments gifted by British have never been the basis of any goodness for Muslims.

In 1957 in the Battle of Plessey as a reward for treachery against Nawab Sirajud Daulah the British made Mir Jafar as the governor of Bengal province. Mohammed Ali was made the governor of Deyal as a return for his betrayal against the Karnataka government. The treacherous beings like Mir Qasim and Najmud Daulah were made Nawabs and governors in India as gifts by East India Company. Mir Sadiq and Puranya who betrayed the Lion of Mysore Tipu Sultan were also promised with high order gifts. The majority of Arab Rulers are the outcome of British friendship and treachery with Islam and Muslims.

The three foundation pillars of Saudi government

The kingdom of Aale Saud has three foundation pillars:

1. The family of Aale Saud
2. The visions (Ideology) of Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab
3. Britain

These three elements are established even today with one change that Britain has been replaced by America. In 1943 America established political relationship with Saudi Arabia. The new government of Aale Saud which came into power in 1932 took some time to resolve internal issues. It took a long time for them to get support of other tribes, besiege other opponents and organizing other administrative issues. At this time oil was not discovered in Saudi Arabia hence the only source of income were the Hajj Pilgrims and visitors to the House of Allah. In 1945 at the time of second world war Saudi Arabia officially handed over its sea ports to Britain and America. Though prior to this American and British companies had discovered oil in Saudi Arabia which economically strengthened the government. The Aale Saud prior to 1940 along with taking control over internal issues also started establishing relationship with other nations and slowly started to move towards that purpose and objective which formed the basis for existence of the unity of these three elements (Aale Saud, Abdul Wahab and Britain).

One of the targets amongst these objectives was to take leadership of Islamic world in their hands (Saudi). Certain factors after the second world war got them very close to this objective. One was the victory of alliance in the war i.e. victory of America and Britain, second the wealth from oil and third was the Zionist establishment of an usurped state by Israel on the land of Palestine.


The role of Malik Faisal

Faisal bin Abdul Aziz was the most successful ruler in achieving these objectives amongst all the rulers of Aale Saud. In 1964 Faisal bin Abdul Aziz got Saud bin Abdul Aziz out of power and took control of the throne , though during the time of Saud bin Abdul Aziz also the actual power was with Faisal only.

Faisal was a very capable person. He was born in 1905 and in 1960 he was made the governor of Riyadh. Faisal was having the command of all the battles that took place during this period. He was also a courageous warrior along with being a clever politician. During the era of Saud bin Abdul Aziz he was also the crown prince (Wali Ahad), also the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. In this period he sped up the development work for the country. He established factories, schools and more than all this he managed foreign policies in more active manner. Faisal was formally selected as the king of Saudi Arabia in 1964. He already had command over all the affairs. After strengthening the nation from inside he started to pay more attention towards the Islamic world. He played a deep role in the Palestinian matter. He participated in the battles against Israel and fulfilled his long time desire of leading Arab nations. The leadership of Arab nations prior to this was with Egypt but during the era of King Faisal with money power Saudi visited all the Muslim nations and in fact he is the first Saudi ruler who visited Turkey in 1966. Similarly he got Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt on his side.

During the Arab Israel battle in 1973 King Faisal became a hero when he cut off the oil supply to the nations supporting Israel. On one side where the Muslim world ranked him as a hero for this step on the other hand it created panic in the Western world. With the efforts of Faisal organisations for Arab nations were formed, conferences were held and it was due to his efforts that the conference for Leadership of Islamic nation was arranged.

At this time America left Saudi Arabia for its support for Palestine and opposition to Israel turning towards strengthening Iran and giving Iran the role of a regional policeman. The Shah of Iran also taking benefit from the situation in order to please America and West started delivering oil to Israel and all other Western countries. Saudi Arabia was successful in establishing its position at the Political level in the world which means the relations were now well mended with other governments and rulers. The wealth of oil enhanced this work further within the poor Muslim nations.

The dream of Religious and Political Leadership of the Islamic world

The political leadership of Aale Saud was not sufficient because the political activities and impacts had no role played by the followers of Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab. They were just supervising the religious affairs in the country whereas their long time desire was leadership of Muslim world. Thus the way they came out of Najd; Aale Saud together with the followers of Mohammad Ibn Abdul Wahab captured Hijaz and other regions similarly for the leadership of Islamic world together they started activities.

Mohammad Ibn Abdul Wahab had some specific thoughts though he was himself not the owner of these thoughts instead in this matter he was the inheritor of the famous 7th Hijri century anthropomorphism personality Ibne Taymiya. The original name of Ibne Taymiya is Taqī ad-Dīn Abu Abbās Ahmad ibn Abd al-alīm ibn Abd as-Salām Ibn Taymiya al-Harrānī but he is recognized by his title Taymiya ibn Harrani. Though on his outward side he was of Hambali school of thought but practically he was not limited to any specific school of thought. He denies many established thoughts and beliefs of Islam. This person is also given the title of reformer in Muslims. According to him he wants to purify Islam from those things which according to him is not Islam. These thoughts were first confined to intellectual and religious circles and several discussions regarding rejections and acceptance of these were done from 7th Hijri century to 12th century. Majority of Islamic scholars rejected these thoughts but in the 12th century Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab started to promote these thoughts and also brought them out of visionary domain into the political world. It is due to this reason that these thoughts and teachings are known as Wahabism. One big and significant specialty about this school is the followers of this ideological school have understood Islam based on their own specific research principles and they do not accept other methods of research. They consider all other sects other than them as out of Islam and declare them as infidel. They impose their specific thoughts and style on other by force rather than by logic and proofs because Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab has spread these thoughts using the sword of Aale Saud. Thus spreading this religious school of thought has become the part and essential element of this.

The formula of unification by force

The newly formed government by the name of Saudi Arabia in 1936 took more support of three things for the sake of taking control of leadership of Muslim Ummah. One was the sanctity of Mecca and Medina, second the income from oil and third from Wahabi thoughts. The Saudi ambassadors instead of establishing leadership by accepting the visionary differences amongst Muslims took advantage from their original style of imposing their visions and thoughts over the Muslim world.


The religious counsellors thought that till the time different sects and schools of research are present amongst Muslims unity cannot be established amongst them. This is the same thought under its pretext today America has firmly intended to impose the new world order across the globe. According to America until unless the world has one culture (Western culture), one style of governance (Democracy) and one economical system (Capitalism) the dream of global leadership cannot be fulfilled. Hence for unifying the world it essential to unite them by weapon power the practicalities of which are witnessed by the entire world today. Saudi Arabia has also attempted to spread their thoughts by wealth and weapons and Muslims are suffering as an outcome of this.

The correct way of unifying Ummah (nation)

In history the leadership of Muslims has been always with those who had control of Mecca and Medina. First it was Bani Umayyah ,then Bani Abbas and then the Ottomans. If Aale Saud would have taken benefits from being the care taking authorities of Mecca and Medina and would not have tried to impose their thoughts on Muslims today their fame and acceptance in the Muslim world would have been much higher. Today sectarianism would have been less in Muslims, bloodshed and transgression would not have existed, and Muslims in various nations and specifically in Pakistan would be living a peaceful life like in the old times, Muslim would not be killing other Muslim, Muslims would not be beheading other Muslims, Al Qaeda and Taliban would not have existed, Pakistan would not have been the victim of crisis, Israel would not have usurped Palestine, American occupation of Muslim nations would not have happened, the NATO army would not be assassinating Muslims in Afghanistan, the blood of Muslims would not have been so cheap in Iraq, Islam would not be defamed globally, terrorism in the name of religion would not have existed, human assassination forces would not have been made, the West would not have got an excuse against Islam, America would not have got excuse for interfering in Pakistan.

If the policy of King Faisal was continued in Saudi Arabia and the united power of entire Muslim world would have been used against Israel; and if the wealth of Muslim nations and oil was not robbed by Western dacoits then today Israel would not have been so strong.

The centre of Islam is the place of refuge for America

When Aale Saud was united with Britain their dream was the leadership of Arab world which got fulfilled but from the time they have tied their noose with America instead of being a centre of Arab world it has become a refugee camp of America. From the sacred houses of Allah instead of message of peace and security the message of sectarianism and discord gets broadcasted.

Instead of unity and brotherhood the verdicts of declaring Muslim sects as Infidels is being relayed. The wealth from oil of Saudi Arabia instead of being used for poor Muslims is used to strengthen West. The blood thirsty forces are being formed by using the wealth of Aale Saud. Instead of respecting Muslims they are being humiliated in Mecca and Medina. The land which was spreading light and which has enlightened the world; today the flames of fire of sectarianism and discord is coming out from the same land. The caravan of Hijaz which the entire world and the oppressed people of the world eyed upon has itself become a part of tyrannical aggression.

The Role of Aale Saud in Palestine

Britain has devised the conspiracy of defeating the Ottoman Caliphate towards the end of 19th century itself and in order to achieve this goal the first step which was taken was to start rebellion in Palestine against the Ottoman Caliphate. They aroused the commander of Mecca by making him their fan and convinced him to start revolt against the Ottoman Caliphate as a result of which Palestine went out of the hands of Turkish government.

The Role of Britain in the Zionist usurpation of Palestine

In 1917 Britain by taking advantage of the negligence of Russians took complete control of Palestine and from that time itself the work of establishing a Jewish state started on this land. During the first World War itself the Jewish got into an agreement with Britain and America that a Jewish state will be established in Palestine at the end of war. The British on one side were conspiring to settle Jews in Palestine and on the other hand they had kept Arabs busy by arousing them against the Ottoman empire. Hence on this basis whatever was happening in Palestine the Arabs were completely negligent and ignorant about it. They were fighting their independence battles and during this period several Arab governments were separated from Ottomans and separate independent Arab countries established amongst which the government of Aale Saudi got in place in Najd and Hijaz.

The second war supported a lot the disgraceful dreams of Zionist. The entire world was busy with the incidents of the war and the Arabs enjoying the power of their newly wed kingdoms. On Friday, 14th May 1948 at 5 pm, at the time of Asr, Britain official handed over the first Qiblah of Muslims and Palestine to Zionists declaring the name of this state as Israel. After few minutes of establishment of Israel the then President of America, Henry Truman accepted its existence. You should be aware that Truman is the same person who gave orders to drop Atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan as an outcome of which hundreds of thousands were swallowed by death. By the time the Arabs got the news of formation of Israel it was late and the birds have pecked the farms already but still they fought three battles against Israel in which they got defeated. Though these battles were less for Palestine and more for their own protection and in these battles the fundamental role was played by Egypt and Syria. Lebanon and Jordan also participated in these battles whereas some Arab nations provided aids to them.
Saudi Arabia is the richest country in the Islamic world and also a claimant of Islamic leadership. It is unimaginable that Saudi remains unconcerned with the Palestinian issue in fact it was foreseeing the plan for its leadership of the Muslim world in this issue. Thus the Saudi kings participated in this battles to the extent of financial contributions. They also supported Palestine to raise this issue in international organizations on the political front.

The courageous step by Malik Faisal

In the matter of Palestine the prestigious role played by Saudi Arabia was during the era of Malik Faisal. During the 1973 Arab Israel war under the leadership of Malik Faisal the oil producing Arab nations decided to cut off oil supply to the Western nations supporting Israel and America.

Thus on 17th October 1973 Malik Faisal sent a threatening message to American President Nickson that if America does not refrain from supplying latest technology arms to Israel we will stop supplying oil to America and its united alliance. Some nations suggested to completely block oil supply to which some others opposed after which it was agreed to first cut off 5% and then later 10% oil supply. But when American ignored this warning and kept on continuing to supply arms to Israel then Malik Faisal ordered to cut down the oil supply. The winter of 1973 was painting the picture of hell for American and Israelis. At this time Iran was handed over the task to protect American interests in the Middle East. In order to fulfil the deficit of Arab oil supply the Iranian Emperor Raza Shah Pahalvi on the orders of America increased its oil production. Due to this step of Arabs the prices of oil shot sky high but Iran in that year increased the oil supply to all Western nations including Israel and earned tremendous profit. On these earnings the Iranian emperor raised the slogan of development and reformation which was strongly opposed by Imam Khomeini (r.a) and other scholars. Iran at that time was considered as the defender of American interests in Middle East. It is the same role which after the Islamic Revolution in Iran was taken away from Iran and handed over to Saudi Arabia.

This step of Malik Faisal made him a hero in the entire Islamic world and his status in the Arab world became equivalent to Abdul Nasser. The Muslims developed hopes for the freedom of Palestine. It was the first time in history when oil was used as a weapon. This step was ringing danger bells in the entire world and specifically within Europe and America. America without caring about the dangers from these warnings of Arab nations kept on supplying arms to Israel and along with this also started working on plans to tackle this new danger.

The American eyes on Arab oil

America got a good realization of this weapon of Arabs and they also understood that the weight of Arab oil is heavier than the explosive weapons of America. Thus from that they started conspiracies and planning to grab this weapon from Arabs and determined to punish those who intended to use this weapon. The pressure of Malik Faisal was more as compared to others. America and Europe brought Malik Faisal on a two road junction which was to either support Palestine or to remain in the circle of American friends. The defeat in the war on one side, the discords and separations within Arab nations on the other hand and the American pressure together left its effects on Malik Faisal.

The snake should die and the staff should also not be broken

For the Saudi ruler to leave aside the Palestinian issue was equivalent to washing off hands from Islamic world leadership. And to break relations with America would be near to disseminating his kingdom. Thus to preserve both the status he adopted a new policy with the help of Western advisors. As an outcome of which the revolutionary segment from Palestinian groups were sidelined and against it support was continued to be given to communist groups within Palestine. It is due to this reason that the relationship of Malik Faisal remained very tense with leaders like Yasir Arafat till the end. In fact King Hussain of Jordan was aroused by King Faisal against Yasir Arafat. This way Malik Faisal remained as the Hero of Muslims and also left opposition of America.


The returns from America and Message to Arab Rulers

America despite of all this was very merciless on Malik Faisal. This softness of Malik Faisal did not extinguish the fire of anger burning inside America. It did not change its intention for punishing those who started this innovation of using oil as a weapon. Thus on 25th March 1975 the Royal Family Prince Faisal bin Saad bin Aziz murdered Malik Faisal. It should be remembered that this murderer prince was resident in America for several years. In this way America delivered a message to Arab rulers that they should never dare to use oil as weapon in support of Palestine.

Khalid bin Abdul Aziz sat on the throne in Saudi government after Malik Faisal. He remained on the throne of the kingdom from 1975 to 1986. King Khalid had more religious orientation as compared to previous rulers. During the era of King Khalid the Saudi governance system came completely under the control of America. America promised big aids and support to Saudi on the condition to leave support for Palestine. It was during the era of King Khalid that the distance between the leaders of Palestine and Saudi Arabia kept on increasing.

One significant Historical event

One significant historical event took place in the Middle East and Islamic world during the era of rulership of this King which disturbed the entire political geography of Middle East.

It made the Arabs restless, it shook the pillars of these Arab states which were formed as a result of their rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. This event was the occurrence of Islamic Revolution on the land of Iran which toppled the throne of an American biased emperor in Iran. This revolution created a hurricane amongst all the rulers loyal to America in the region. This was due to the fact that this was a people's revolution which shivered the non public governments.

The whispering of Satan and negligence from Israel

The Americans faced humiliation in this revolution due to which the flames of revenge were blazing in the hearts of Americans. Americans got the attention of Arabs that your enemy is not Israel but this Islamic Revolution. They should do some planning to save their power and authority rather than securing Palestine. They should forget the Al Aqsa Mosque and be concerned about the protection of their thrones.

These scared Arabs after being inspired by America abandoned Palestine and joined hands amongst each other to fight Iran. The world desirous Saddam was made ready to attack Iran and the Arabs were determined to provide any form of support to Saddam. All the aids which were being given to Palestinian groups and emigrants were now diverted towards Saddam for blocking the Islamic Revolution. This way Palestine, Qods and Masjid Al Aqsa vanished from the priority list of Aale Saud. During this period Israel got the opportunity to establish its control, to enhance its relation with the world, to develop a position in international organizations and to strengthen its warfare machinery. After this Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia started a new series of conspiracies in the Middle East under the pretext of attempts for peace in the region. In 1987 , Anwar Sadat from Egypt formally accepted Israel and also did an agreement with it.

With the involvement of American President Jimmy Carter the most disgraceful and evil agreement in history took place between Anwar Sadat and Zionists at Camp David. All Arab nations apart from Lebanon and Syria abstained from all support to Palestine and instead started to support and give aids to Saddam. The leadership of this phase was with Saudi Arabia. Israel took advantage of this period and attacked Lebanon capturing Beirut. The non concernedness about Palestine went to its peak at this time. In 1982 after King Khalid when Iran Iraq war was in its teenage and the oil business of Saudi was shining King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz was crowned on the throne of Saudi Arabia. Tankers of unrefined oil were despatched from Saudi towards Europe and America and in return bundles of dollars were coming from them towards the land of Hijaz. These bundles of dollars from which one portion at one time was being spent on Palestine now in the era of the Custodian of "Harmain" (two sacred mosques) was increased several times to be spent in supporting Saddam Hussain. The relationship between America and Saudi Arabia during the era of King Fahd went to its ideal point. In this era the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was declared as the most favourite government in the world for America.

The conspiracy for acceptance of Israel

In 80's the Pharoahic nation formally presented this suggestion to all Arab leaders for accepting the existence of Israel. In the Moroccan city of Fas all the Arab rulers present in the Arab leaders conference passed this suggestion. The 80's and 90's can be termed as the era of boycott of Palestine by the Arabs. During this period all Arab nations made attempts in their own individual way to improve their relationship with Israel. Some openly whereas some secretly accepted the existence of Israel.

It was during the era of Malik Fahd that on his invitation American forces entered and were stationed in an island like place.

After the end of Iran Iraq war the American supported Saddam attacked and captured Kuwait. King Fahd for liberation of Kuwait and for his security formally invited America for an attack on Iraq due to which America along with its united alliance started an operation by the name Desert Storm and this way the land of Hijaz became a camp for American forces. The ignorance of Palestinians by Arabs and specifically Aale Saud resulted into Yasir Arafat who was communist leader of Palestine joining hands with Saddam Hussain. As an outcome of these discussed services Europe and West accepted the leadership of Saudi Arabia for Arabs instead of Egypt and efforts were started to make Aale Saud as the policeman of Middle East. After Israel the role of Arab nations has been next significant after in the differences and bloody encounters between different Palestinian groups. The stand of Arabs towards Palestine gradually became the same as that of America and Europe. During this period formal meetings were held between Saudi authorities and Israeli Zionists in which agreements were made to adopt a common Arab Zionist strategy for Palestine. Those who were making maps for liberation of Palestine at one time are now occupied in making plans for accepting Israel. All the Arab nations under the leadership of Saudi Arabia are every day occupied with Israel in dialogues, compromises and in pursuit of ways for accepting the existence of Israel.

Aale Saud after looking at the results and taking lessons from Egypt and Anwar Sadat's acceptance of Israel is acting with precaution. Every other day in Middle East a new conspiracy is announced under the name of compromise and peace. Along with the suggestion of King Fahd for compromising with Israel other similar plans and conspiracy have come forward from Malik Abdullah as well. As an example in 2002 the Middle East Peace roadmap plan which was presented by America had full support of Arab alliance of America along with its Western alliance. This map was made only after taking Saudi Arabia into confidence. The actual purpose behind this plan was to accept the existence of Israel without giving any sort of distinction to Arabs and Palestinians. In 2007 the Annapolis conference that took place in Annapolis in the American state of Maryland for compromise between Israel and Palestine was attended by the Arab American supporters also along with the Western supporters of America. In order to make this conference successful Saudi Arabia did everything possible.

The attempts for giving protection to Israel

In this disgraceful conference attempts were made for unconditional acceptance of Israel. In this Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan played full role. When he was crown prince King Abdullah specifically presented a suggestion to resolve the Arab-Israel conflict which was named as Arab Israel Peace Agreement.

It should be remembered that whenever the scale of Palestine went up in the usurped Palestine and Israel faced severe difficulties and crisis right at that instance the Arab leaders and specifically Saudi Commanders made efforts for compromise and negotiations. The entire world knows that the current Arab leaders do not possess the ability to resolve the Arab Israel conflict and neither do they have any respect in front of Europe, America and Israel. The question that comes up is when this is the status of Arab governments then why do they repeatedly give suggestions in the name of peace, compromise when they are themselves also aware about their status in front of Israel and America. The answer to this is that these Arab nations are not invited for compromises or for the protection of Palestine but instead they used to get Israel out of crisis, to weaken the resistance of Palestinian groups and to eradicate the pressure on Israel. In last 30 years approximately 50 suggestions for compromises have come forward in majority of which Arab states and specifically Saudi is involved.

Cooperation with Israel to curb Intifadha

As an example in 1987 the movement which started in occupied Palestine under the name of Intifadha shook the roots of Israel. At that time also the Western and Arab supporters of Israel in order to end this movement manipulated in the name of dialogues.

At that time the existence of Israel was in danger but under the pretext of compromise Israel was protected. In 2000 another big movement started in the occupied Palestine against Israel which could be given the name of second Intifadha. This movement strengthened to the extent that global analytics rang the danger bells of eradication of Israel. And again here as well to save Israel and to crush the Intifadha the Arab suggestions of compromise demonstrated its effects.

The new chapter of treachery of Aale Saud against Palestine, Qods and Masjid Al Aqsa got unveiled in 2008 when Saudi commander King Abdullah arranged a "Peace of Culture" Conference at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. In this conference rather than inviting scholars and intellectuals of different faith and cultures political personalities from seventy nations participated in it amongst which George Bush, Tony Blair, Shimon Perez, Livni, King Abdullah and other leaders like him participated who are not concerned with any religion or culture. The objective of this conference was not to establish dialogues between scholars of different faiths and cultures instead it was a conspiracy from Arab and some Muslim states for the acceptance of Israel. During this conference the Zionist Foreign Minister Livni Tzipi during her speech condemned Quran recitation in Muslim countries and gave this evidence that by studying Quran hatred towards Jews gets developed in the hearts of Muslims. No one present there replied to these disgraceful remarks by her. King Abdullah along with Saudi delegation was the chairman of this conference. In this conference George W Bush declared attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq as a religious obligation. In this gathering King Abdullah , George Bush and Shimon Perez drank alcohol on the dining table and cheered drinks for peace.

The current Saudi government in its exterior supports Palestinians verbally in the matter of Palestine but practically they act on the agenda set by Israel. In the last Arab leaders summit first time formally Israel and Zionists were not included amongst the enemies of Arab community. On this step Israeli government officially expressed their gratification for King Abdullah.

On the basis of American dictation Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and U.A.E are busy in declaring Iran as the real enemy of Arabs. The fresh task delegated by America is that apart from Iran and Syria all other Arab nations should also accept the existence of Israel. Saudi Arab has been handed over the responsibility for creating an environment for this task.

In the Straits of Tiran the two Islands of Tiran and Sanafir are since long under the control of Israel. Saudi Arab never demanded the return of these Islands and never brought up this issue at an international level. The ex Zionist Prime Minister Isaac Rabin declared these islands as highly significant for the survival of Israel. The issue of occupation of these islands was not discussed in any agreement and not even in the Camp David agreement. The reason behind this is that a secret agreement has been made between Saudi and Zionist governments that Israel will not carry out any operation against Saudi and in return these two strategic islands will remain with Israel forever.

The role of Aale Saud in the GAZA war

The pinnacle of treachery with Palestine by Arab leaders is the 22 days battle of Gaza.

In this battle the Zionist butchers got Gaza under complete siege and then dropped bombs from air and land on the thirsty and starving Palestinians; the number of bombs dropped on the Palestinians were much more than those dropped in the World War. In this dreadful historic tyranny and public assassination both Israel and Arab leaders had equal share. Even before the battle Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arab and Mahmoud Abbas together started to arouse the Zionist leaders to attack Gaza. In a meeting held between Israel and this Arab gang in Sharm Al Sheikh in Egypt the details of this battle were agreed. In the siege of Gaza Egypt played the most crucial role which was discussed in the previous issue of this magazine. Egypt sealed its border with Gaza completely due to which during the barbaric bombing of Israel the only route for supply of food and medical aid got blocked. Jordan played the role of American Apache during this war in order to keep the Arab nations silent.

Saudi and U.A.E provided fuel to Israel war aircrafts and also opened doors of their weapons depot for the Zionists. Shimon Perez explicitly said in a conference that Arab leaders demanded from us attacks on Hizbullah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. The Zionist Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni expressed in a similar way that the Arab leaders do not at all like the effects and involvement of Iran in Lebanon and Palestine.

In accordance to them Hizbullah and Hamas are the Iran supportive groups. In order to prevent the increasing effects and involvement of Iran in Middle East the Arabs made a pact with us that if we can obliterate Hizbullah and Hamas then all Arab nations will sign on the peace treaty accepting the existence of Israel. Similar expressions have been seen from other sources as well.

On the other hand the Arab community (mass public) and Muslims extended their full support to Palestine and big protests and rallies were organized in support of Hizbullah and Hamas but the government of Saudi imposed all sorts of restrictions on the Saudi people for organizing any form of protests and rallies in support of Palestinians. In entire Saudi only in the Qatif region the Shia Muslims carried out demonstrations in support of Palestine and opposition to Israel and these demonstrations were also brutally crushed by the Saudi government. They arrested the demonstrators in big numbers and they even sentenced death statements to some for this crime. It should be remembered that in the battle of Gaza 1135 Palestinians were martyred and approximately 5500 were wounded amongst which majority were women and children.

As a recent step for encountering Hamas the Saudi government with the support of Israel has formed a group of extremist individuals with Wahabi ideology by the name of "Ansar-e-Jundullah" (The supporters of Allah's Army). This group following the style of Taliban declared Gaza as an Islamic emirate and appointed Abdul Latif Moosa Al Amr Al Maroof Abul Noor Al Muqaddasi as Ameerul Momineen (Commander of Faithful). This group started an armed uprising against Hamas in Gaza but in encounters with Gaza police many of their extremists got assassinated and their leader Abdul Latif Moosa also was killed. This is not the last step of Aale Saudi against Palestine and Palestinians but in fact this series of shameful betrayals and treachery is on going. We will see in the coming days what all the Arab governments under the leadership of Saudi commanders will do and how forward they go. The upcoming days for the Arab Muslims will be days of tough examination.
In the forthcoming issues we will throw light on the role of Saudi Arabia in other Muslim countries.
