Ever
since Evolution Process started, many hundreds
of thousands of years ago tribal system came into existence which
is continuing till today. The House of Saud and
its allies quickly rose to become the dominant sovereignty in Arabia by first
conquering Nejd, and then expanding their influence over the
eastern coast which measures from Kuwait down to the northern borders of Oman. Furthermore,
Saud's forces brought the highlands of Asir under their suzerainty, while
Muhammed bin Abd Al Wahhab wrote letters to people and scholars to enter the
field of jihad, by means of debate and scholarly work, to remove elements of
polytheism which existed in their countries such as Iraq, Egypt, India, Yemen and Syria. After many military campaigns, Saud died in 1765,
leaving the leadership to his son, Abdul Aziz Bin Muhammad. Saud's forces went
so far as to gain command of the Shi'a holy city of Karbala in 1801. Here they destroyed grave markers of saints
and monuments, which the ultra-conservative Salafi brand of Islam considers to
be acts of polytheism. Eleven years after the death of Muhammed bin Abd Al
Wahhab the son of Abdul Aziz Bin Muhammad, Saud bin Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad bin Saud, set out
forces to bring the region of Hejaz under his rule. Taif
was the first city to be captured, and later the two holy cities of Macca and Madina.
This was seen as a major challenge to the authority of the Ottoman Empire, which
had exercised its rule over the holy cities since 1517.
The House
of Saud is the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia. The family has thousands of members. It is
composed of the descendants of Muhammad bin Saud and
his brothers, though the ruling faction of the family is primarily led by the
descendants of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud. The most influential member of the Royal
family is the King of Saudi Arabia,
currently King Salman.
Macca is the holy city for Muslims because
of Muhammad’s (PBUH) birth place and Madina being the first ever Islamic state
of the history. Point to ponder is that Muhammad’s
(PBUH) did not name this state after his name while Saud’s tribal leader named
the whole Arab State after his name as Saudi Arabia, first ever state in the
history name to exhibit a powerful person who was titled as “Khadmain
Shareefain”. Unfortunately all respects were awarded to him and his family descendants
similar to the one given to Macca and Madina and followers of Muhammad’s (PBUH)
forgot his last address at last Hajj occasion. There are so many factors for
this malpractice still in continuity like social and economical.
Above are the main factors
to divide Muslim Ummah and have become a great cause of conflicts among Islamic
states. I am of the belief and absolute conviction that if my house is in order
then no outsider can interfere into my domestic affairs.
