Holy Cities Of Saudi Arabia: Mecca and Medina (Culture Documentary)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- The two holy cities of Mecca and Medina give Saudi Arabia enormous religious power.
We follow the trail of the pilgrims, from the port of Jeddah to the Holy Kaäba. There is a call for a more moderate Islam, but do religious leaders really support this?
We follow the developments from the inside, through the eyes of the inhabitants themselves. Are they just empty promises or is Saudi Arabia actually able to change?

Respect each country .
China can never be the same as usa which can never be the same as Saudi .
Respect Respect Respect
The documentary is off putting as the presenter is trying to involve politics into everything where the two holy cities have nothing to do with politics. Trying to find fault at everything.
Madinah was the first land ruled by shariah
This wants everything to be according to his desires, You’ve got to agree with him or you’re wrong.
You mean Muhammed? I'd say you meant Islam itself but you put HIM so...
I love how the seller said "yes, it's perfect" while he looked like Shaquile O'Neal wearing a napkin lol
Lol!
Lol
the documentary presenter is being unjust in the way he asked questions, BIG turn off.
He has his own deep rooted prejudices. I have answered all his judgments in a separate comment.
A very interesting documentary. I enjoyed it!
Hope i
i ask Allah to make me easy to get a wealth i can afford to take My parents to the pilgrimage.
and my self
amen yah Allah
Keep up the good work. Excellent storytelling.
A fabulous series, and I'm sorry there will only be one more episode.
God Bless my brothers 🇸🇦🤝🇱🇾.
The mosque of the Prophet is not the first place where Muhammad prayed. Before that Muhammad prayed in his home, at the Kaaba, in the cave, in the desert, even on top of the came. It's just the first building used for worship purposes.
Yes .In PETRA jordan
remember to write saw after the prophets name
I loved KSA honestly the people were wonderful folk 🇬🇧
I have watched all the 4 “documentaries”. It’s miraculous how this guy is making all the other stories in the background. Like someone says “Allah is the Greatest”, he turns around and says “you see, this guy is crazy”. It happened also with al-Wahhabis mosque and the guy that showed him that mosque. He left the guy talking and he’s turning around and saying “you see this guy is defending crimes committed on 9/11. He is doing this like we are all illiterate.
I am honestly disgusted by this journalist! Indeed.
And above all, they are deleting comments that they don’t like.
For sure, this one is going to be deleted any time soon.
Allah is One, Islam is the purest Religion.
Terrorists are not and will never be muslims!!!!

Just curious why Islam is the “purest religion” what does that mean?
@@strnglhld it claims to be monotheism at its perfection. God without equals. And if disagree death and torture awaits.

Fascinating documentaries to watch as an outsider.
Please don’t ask me about politics at all 😂
He wasn't havin it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am really enjoying your work and find it very interesting. Keep up the great work!
He says these people scare him but really he scare me with his sprayed of misinformation.

One baffling thing about Saudi is you are only a citizen if your dad is Saudi born
Many sufis do pilgrimage. He mistaken... Sufism is form of sunni islam. One of the 5 pillars of faith is hajj.
Yes it's funny they think Sufism is an Islamic sect lol
Keep up the good work!!! You guys make really good documentaries, it is a great way to understand different ways of thinking and cultures.
Thanks for that documentary...
It could have been better
Good effort
الحمد لله رب العالمين على نعمه الاسلام والإيمان ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
This guy is actually being very very negative in every sense when filing this. It's a very unfair portrayal of Saudi. Yes Saudi has issues but this guy is being unjust. And it also seems very unislamic or not very supportive and respectful of the religion. Bit of shame to not get an unbias filming with a neutral outlook.
So true thats what I was thinking soon as I started to watch!!!
Don't worry about people being negative about Islam ....
God is the protector and saviour
Just think about it
Muhammad PBUH stared as a single person in his mission
And look how many people are Muslim now all over the world
Isn't that facilitating ...People from east and west converting with no force
Just because it's the right life style for happiness ⚘

@@zahramahde2096 shut up
It's been a theme for him since the 1st episode - You never know he may have bosses who are pushing for the negativity. Negativity sells I suppose
Fifth pillar of Islam, and Saudi Arabia gets to decide who gets to fulfill it.
Pretty evil to deny Muslims their religious rights
They denied freedom and any right to all other religions are you blind?

@@IntrinsicPalomides stupid statement. Are you worried about the Hamas supporters? go help them!!
@@IntrinsicPalomides Stealing their land???????? so you know nothing about who lived there thousands of years before/ It was a country named Judea. Ignorant.

Islam allows modernizations but not to the extent of changing the important and basic islamic values… because some values in Islam are considered to be basic and fundamental. Islam encourages modernization in a modest way and adheres to the modesty enshrined in the Noble Qur’an and the Prophetic Traditions.
Makkah is the purest land as it contains the Sacred House of Allah. And anything that goes against pure monotheism is considered impure to be introduced in the City. So non-Islamic place of worship are NOT allowed 🚫 at all.
I think you're confusing Makka with Sa'uudi 'Arabia, when the interviewed man talking (we cannot have two religions coexisting here "Jaziirat 'Arabia") meant Sa'uudi 'Arabia and not Makka! And considering that Sa'uudis wanted both Muslims and non-Muslims to work there, but non-Muslims are not allowed to build places of worship of their faith! Is that Islaamic too?
Very interesting video on Mecca, Medina and Jeddah.
I wasnt expecting those high rises right there either. And Rolex etc

Nice Documentary
He's being used by the west
I've done watched all 4 episodes and I found it to be quite interesting and eye opening as an outsider. Appreciate the quality content, however, I must say this.
I'm going to be a bit skeptical of some of the claims that were made in this series. My reasoning for this scepticism is simple. I'm not a Saudi native or have worked there, I don't speak arabic so I can't tell how accurate the translations were, and I'm not a Muslim.
Please understand that this isn't an attack towards the presenter and creators of this series. It's just that everyone has a bias and an agenda, which is fine. As a newcomer to this, I'm being careful in how I'm digesting all of this info.
39:07 Pilgrimage is one of the pillars of the religion and and I have never seen a suffi who didn't want to go to hajj to be honest throughout the whole documentary you came across as someone who hated the religion.
This channel is super anti Islam everything they post is trying to make a hit piece towards the religion.
Exactly. He seems more anti Islamic than sufi. I also have a sufi background, sort of. Although i don't consider myself one, I'm just Muslim. But its obvious the host doesn't know what he's talking about. May Allah guide him. Ameen.
@@youtubeowl9544 more like anti all religion in general a bit like an atheist. I was quite surprised when he said he was Muslim.
I think he only said it to enter Mecca. His tone makes me wonder if he's even a muslim but Allah knows best
@@user-pn9qp1sr3e so why do you watch
The way dude is framing, trying hard to be seen bad ,even Saudi culture to be Islamic is very apparent to me..
Biggest lie I've ever seen, the START OF HARAM means the start of the holy mosque. He says non muslims not allowed
video banned in india so I'm using vpn
Why is it banned?
@@SuperBreaker7 honestly have no idea, tons of muslim indians go to arabia, our country consists of 30% muslims, yet its banned.
dont care.

Brilliant documentary
Fascinating! Love this reporter!!!! *doffs cap*
I'm honestly surprised it's so commercialized
it has to do with immense number of pilgrims, there needs to be rooms for all of them cause as you can see the qoutas can make people wait for decades
3:58 Instantly recognised this is the same man who showed Kate Humble around Jeddah in 2009 for the BBC documentary, "The Frankincense Trail"

Interesting
Pilgrims come to see holy cities 😂🚮
No listen dude, Muslims go to perform hajj(Islamic fifth pillar of religion) even some of Saud Arabians perform every year. They don't go to see. The go to perfom their religious obligation
11:38..says it all about this journalist!!!.

@@wanderncouple710 100% my bro
This is not a culture documentary as the title says, you're just trying to put anything Islam in bad light
Islam is seen as perfect and from god. If you believe that why should it change.
That being said certain things in modern life are not seen to conflict with the shariah, so it is permissible.
As new questions come up, scholars discuss to come to consensus. They think deeply and look for analogies from the past.
I agree of many of what you say, but radical changes are hard in saudi arabia as it is the holiest and most islamised region in the history of islam
It’s just a shame it’s not open to everyone… aside from religion, Mecca and Medina are among the most important historical places in the whole world, and everyone should be able to visit them, as for St. Peter. I’ve read that now it is accessible to non Muslims too, I have to inform myself better, it would be great! Anyway, the fact that some imams or people in Saudi Arabia are more open regarding veil for women and rights in general, or more tolerant towards non Muslims than people in others Muslim countries or Muslims that emigrated in the West, makes me reflect a lot
Medina is open to non-Muslims but you won’t be able to go within a distance of Masjid Al-Nabawi
A religious requirement but limited by a quota with a waiting list of decades. Make that make sense.
It's quite easy actually. In order to keep order and everyone safe, they need to regulate how many visitors. It enables the Muslims to enjoy their trip further as well.
SAfety, order and WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC 🙄
Safety. Imagine if a billion people in one city there would be no place to sit or stand.
I can't imagine spending that much time, energy, or money on religion.
We don't take materialism much serious i hope you see the graveyards
Tell that to the Christian crusaders and British colonists and the church
I will with all my heart..Your opinion and mine.
@@RK-ep8qy , I don't understand it from them either.
@@ayalara929 , i don't take materialism seriously either. Nor do I take religion seriously
The presenter is tarnishing all the Muslims as terrorists even if the interviewees are condemning the acts of terrorism. Pathetic attitude
The man was told ,the cave (thaur) ws were the prophet received revelations first.
Some mins later the same journalist came up with his ignorant statement , 'this is where Islam began' 😂😂🚮
Thank you.
Very interesting
Religion creates such division and atrocities throughout the world ever since it began, a whole bunch of confusing nonsense in my opinion. To each is own tho.
"To disbelieve everything that man believes is my belief and to challenge even that in which I believe is my Religion"
Anyways…Islam is perfect.
@@esotericasf You're entitle to your opinion and belief
Mecca is sacred place. this commercial side is just disgusting specially the tower clock
9/11 was an inside job, this dude should respect his host while visiting regardless of his convictions, shame on you.
@Muhsin Shah Ask the tv presenter, he mentioned 9/11.His comment was stupid.
stop crying kid who cares lol ..
Inside job by whom? I bet all the innocent ppl mostly muslims that were killed in Syria etc by ISIS and others are also inside job or the parents who kill their kids for honour is also inside job. Islam is a good religion but the 20% who interprets it differently are the problem with Islam today, the religion is far from perfect same with christianity.
@@just_janen_1196 Well said. I don't like calling Muslims "Muslims". I'd rather call them from the country they were born for example, Iranian, Iraqi, Bangladeshi, etc. I'd be a bit peeved if people were referring to me solely as "A christian". Judge by the content of their kindness. If they upset you in any way, ignore them and turn the other cheek.
@@just_janen_1196 Inside job by the american government.
25:32..as soon as he said he is a salafi and when he said music is halal..i knew i should skip what he is saying lmao
I guess that the reason behind you trip is criticizing Saudi
the country does not need to change. in fact, all these commercial changes to begin with are awful. leave tradition and religion laws alone. islam does not allow for 2 or more religions in mecca. WHY would you challenge that principle?
This was a very biased “documentary”. He calls himself a Muslim but he was asking smart alec questions
The archaeological record must be mind blowing , but sadly closed off to non muslims
Have I come here to here after?

Religion of peace. They love democracy, human rights and jews. Or did I get all of that wrong? ;-)
Why are you islamphopic 🤔
@@ayalara929 I am not suffer from phobia. I just dislike a religion that is incredibly backwards. All countries where this barbaric religion rules we see lack of human rights, democracy, freedom of speech and poor schools and bad universities. What is there to like with such a bad religion founded by a warlord who had slaves and took a 8 year old as his wife?
@@dpie4859 do some research before putting false accusations on the internet. Islam is the best relegion with the most respect for human rights a religion where people started making universities and make people getting more knowledge and soooo much more things. But if you want to discuss the people who practice this religion then it's most likely like every other person in every other religion that they do things wrong. That's not because of the religion thats because of how some muslims mix their culture with religion what is totally wrong. You don't like a country like Saudi Arabia probably of how they mixed their culture with their religion because if you did research or knew a person who practices islam like how it's supposed to be practiced then nobody would have a problem with islam. You dislike the people who rule that country but because some of them are bad people does not mean islam is bad. If you took your time doing some research you would be surprised of how peaceful this religion is.
Human rights, initially drafted by countries that were still literally colonizing the 3rd world countries and enslaving its people.
Jews...that were literally genocided by westerm powers.
Get out of here.
Is this how the chosen people perceive other religion and people? Then your chooser must be Antichrist
questions are asked in a provocative manner, is it to get views and likes?

So much discrimination in this religion🤦, reserved places for Muslims only" is this how you are treated in other counties
Only in mekkah and some parts of madina.. mekkah because it's a religious city and NOT a tourist attraction, where a set of rules that only muslims do allow them to enter.. in jaddah it's only limited to the Prophet's Mosque... it's not a matter of treatment, it's a matter of faith and focusness.
The Saudi “Prince” must be hella pissed off 🤣🤣🤣
The presenter is very bias and makes passing derogatory remarks about the pilgrims, their intentions and beliefs. He is not open-minded or looking to understand islam. Some of the information he shares is not accurate and he tries to push people to comment politically. Why was he allowed entry to a sacred place???
Bias reporting.
20:10 which language is that?Persian or Jesus one
Some Arabs look so dark, others look extremely white (with red hair even). I wonder why there is such a difference.
I believe its because being an 'arab' is more of a culture than an ethnicity or a race nowadays. Although it could still be considered as any of those things by some. Kind of similar to being a 'westerner'.
70 percent of the people in the video are not Arab
@@mohaalyami9810 what a poposterous statement to make! How do you know that precisely 70 percent of the people in this film were not Arab? What was your calculation for such a figure?
The native arabs have brown to whitish skin colors. There has been lots of migration from Africa for thousands or years and most them have assimilated into the arab culture now and are part of Saudi arabia, hence the difference in skin colors.
