@@hsdjsdshdhsdnsmsd6247 what I noticed is if you are a Muslim, its either you love or hate the Saudi government. One side that loves the government loves Saudi because the holy cities are located therefore seeing the whole country as holy seeing Saudi=Islam & Arab=Islam, the other side of the fence hates the government because of their hypocrisy & their political agenda in their khutbah, something like that.

@@mohammadmutari6214 Hayak Allah, Muhammad. Many people outside of KSA speak ill of it. And of course, there are things that go on in KSA that are very bad and oppressive. But this is in any country. The only reason why KSA get singled out is because of the haramain, and the people there are generally on the dawa of Tawheed. Otherwise, no one speaks of the crimes against the Muslims in India, or how now here in Quebec Canada, they have illegalized the wearing of hijab, or how in China, Muslims are being rounded up by the hundreds of thousands and put into re-education camps. Allah keep KSA upon Tawheed, Ameen.
really Saudi people are very helpful, i remembered one occasion when i was traveling with my family , with children , my car was stopped due to some problem, after some time about 15 minutes, one Saudi person stopped his car and he take us to city and dropped into hotel and he buy food and juices for my children, also helped me about my car, he spend many hours with me and he did not taken single riyal, he told me all of this i have done for ALLAH SWT. really i will pray for him & his family for my all life.

We don't care about the leaving over there. WHY don't he talk about the extremely horrible things the Saudi crown is doing. Wtf are they building around AL Kaaba? How can they make an alliance with Israel? Why are they killing innocent people that ONLY talk the truth inside the country. ( if the Prophet was alive they would have tried to kill him because he would say the truth about Saoud) They are killing kids in Yemen and starving the country WHY? Because Yemen wants to be independent and don't follow Saoudi orders that's why. Why are they pushing us Sunni to hate our brothers Shiaa??? They want civil war in other Muslim countries.

@@ExtremeShez why are you comparing Muslims in the west with the Saudis where Allah Subhanuwatala sent down our beloved prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wasalam) and the religion of Islam? UK isn’t a Muslim majority country. UK has its own secular rules. So it’s much easier for the Muslims to get messed up in here unlike Muslims in Saudi. The Saudis are supposed to hold on to the deen firmly and lead the whole Muslim umma which they have failed.
My brother you're always welcome in Saudi, my name is Abdulrahman from Riyadh and I would be glad to welcome you at any time my brother and it would be my pleasure to introduce you to the capital city.
Allahu A’alam, I have not been to Saudi. As an Afghan, we have 100s of 1000s Afghan labour workers there. A lot of them have had terrible experiences with the people/business owners/their bosses. They have been subject to discrimination/prejudice, Allah knows best what the reason might be for this. This is not a reflection of everyone out there; I have also heard stories of people bringing out full fridges and placing them on the streets so that anyone passing by can benefit from the food. There are many labour workers from other countries (e.g. Bangladesh) who have been subject to oppression and discrimination. Regardless, No one is infallible. The Saudi’s have established a great environment for seekers of knowledge. But to be just we have to be considerate of our brothers from 3rd world countries who are not treated as humans let alone as Muslim brothers.
There will always be good and bad people everywhere you go, no place is ever free from that no where is perfect!..may Allah keep us on the straight path Ameen 🤲
My advice to this brother is don’t separate politics from Islam just because our rulers have. Don’t secularise islam just because our rulers enforce it. This narrative is typical to secular Saudi Wahabism. That’s how you pacify society.
It should be separated, not everyone likes to live such a conservative society. Islam is for an individual, and if a person wants to practice it, then practice it. But don't make others go by it's rules.
To be fair, if all the countries had sharia law like Saudi Arabia no one would uprise. You cannot compare Saudi Arabia to other muslim majority countries
@@jayjayjay4788 yh just accusation and no proof. Look how jealous some people are at a muslim country. SubhanAllah even fellow muslims are bashing saudi arabia like they dont get enough grief from the west. The only country with sharia and tawheed alhamdulillah. I'll stick with saudi.
I would like to thank brother Saajid for his honest words. As a Saudi citizen I want to say that we are not angels we still people. But at the end of the day we are very hospitable and welcoming, we feel very proud and happy when we see Muslim brothers and sisters from other countries especially western. May Allah bless you all.

Interesting perspective, although I should add that race in general has a lot to do with how you are treated overall in Saudi. Not saying everyone may be good or bad, but there Definitely comes privilege being white or being from the western world. Many black people till today face heavy discrimination in these same areas unfortunately. So their overall approach may be the complete opposite as well

Yeah subhanAllah, when I went for Hajj last year it was my first time. I saw jewellery stores cover the shop with a blanket leaving it and going to pray in the haram. I was shocked, like is nobody going to rob it. But no! nothing happened and we returned and they were open as usual after salah. It's amazing how peaceful it is. Everyone focuses on all the bad that they do, and not the overwhelming good.
What have they got to do with Egypt and Syria? And if you want to blame anyone for Yemen, blame the Iranians, after all they did start the war. It isn’t like Saudi is purposely dropping bombs on innocents. I find it unreasonable when the Saudis are blamed for everything. They have casualties as well you know. Do you know how many missiles have been launched towards Makkah, Taif, Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha and other places?
Everybody knows that things get stolen in Mecca. I have family whose possessions were stolen there. You need to be paranoid and keep an eye on everything of yours. Maybe shops don't get robbed but people certainly do!
Can Haktan. Ok, this has two parts to it. First, oil. Who would you like them to sell it to? Iran? The country that is carrying out a proxy war against them? And where do you think the money is going? Do you know how much of that money is spent for the Haramain, as well as the hujjaj. That alone costs billions of Riyals, and we’re not even talking about other Islamic projects that serve the Muslims living there. And as Sajid has said, studying Islam in Saudi is free for expats. Where do you think all that money comes from? Second, supporting the West. In case you didn’t read the articles properly, Saudi keeps the peace regionally, wish keeps things calm in the area. Are any of the Arab countries suffering? The opposition of the Arab Spring was itself unbenificiel to Saudi. All of them are working together. And it seems like you’ve forgotten all the times they’ve opposed the West. Have you forgotten of King Faisal and his opposition to Israel? He defended the Palestinian Cause to the extent that it got him assassinated by the CIA. And lastly, in terms of who is whose puppet. In my eyes, I see Muhammad bin Salman playing America. Didn’t he get Trump to sign a massive weapons deal as well as their ability to go ahead with nuclear power, even though it isn’t in America’s interest? Saudi is playing them, you just haven’t realised it.
@@heraldofmorning3219 Saudi Arabia is intentionally bombing civilians, especially hospitals and they are getting called out for it by civilian organisations, like Doctors Without Borders.
@@heraldofmorning3219 You are confused. US is playing Saudi. Saudi is currently fighting an American war against Iran in Yemen. I am aware of most of the sectarian extremism from Shia clerics in Iran, however I believe the proxy wars are pointless and mostly caused by the US to cause division between and amongst Muslims and Sunni/Shia. Were it not for the US, Saudi and Iran would most likely have maintained peaceful relations and focused on Palestine. Saudi is keeping the peace? They are amongst the main countries responsible for brutality and killing and raping innocents, such as their tyranny in Bahrain against peaceful protesters who actually supported the regime and were merely calling for better conditions. Their actions are just like what Iran have done to Syria. Except ironically the Shia majority protesters in Bahrain did not have the support of Iranian weapons. The Sunni majority protesters in Syria had the support of Sunni weapons and nations, mainly Turkey and Saudi. Saudi also have supported the killing of thousands of Muslims in Egypt and Libya. In those cases, they were the ones that caused fitna where fitna didn't exist.
Thank you brother I luv Saudi Arabia for what it is doing for Muslim students. It’s blessing for Saudi Arabia when Muslims like you study there. It’s funny when you speak about Saudi from experience and some haters say otherwise even thought they only knew Saudi from the news. لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم
I lived in Jordan for two years. I’m from the UK but originally Palestinian. My skin complexion is brown and not white. Because of that you get treated like crap. And the amount of racism Iv experienced there was more than in the UK by 100 fold. Only because I’m Palestinian and I’m not white. If you’re white everyone wants to be your friend, everyone loves you and you get treated like a king. Anyway, I was so sick of it I went back to the UK and I would never go back. I went to Saudi for umrah and tbh I was expecting the same thing. But I got the complete opposite. I was only there for a week and I experienced things Iv never in my life seen. At prayer times they leave there shops as they are and go pray. So people don’t steal. I got a taxi to get to a location and I only had 500 riyal note and he didn’t have enough change. He gave me his number and said just call me when you get change and left. Another thing that happened is that I wanted to buy some clothes from a store and I left my wallet in the hotel. He gave me all the things I wanted and said pay me when you have the money. These are people Iv never met before. I visited another city called riyad and one taxi driver, there first one I got, literally spent the whole day with me and didn’t even want me to pay him. Taking me around. In Medina, random people would approach you and talk to you and just want to be your friend randomly. People from all across the world. I’m not going to lie, in Mecca it can get a bit crazy but it wouldn’t be from the Saudi people but from foreign Muslims. I saw things in Mecca which broke my heart. At the black stone for example, people push, shove , jump on top of people, and trample old people to get to touch it and when they get to it they hog it and hold on and not let others have a chance and people would have to literally drag him off. Me and my cousins saved an old woman from being trampled because no one cared, they just want to touch the stone. That is so sad. Also, if you’re going to do ummah with females with you I would highly advise you protect them in Mecca. I have seen and know girls who have been sexually harassed at the kabah. One story of a girl I know was praying and a man was standing right behind her. She thought it might just be be because it’s crowded but literally put his crouch on her back side to the extent that she felt “ you know what “. She had to stop the prayer and leave. I even saw a picture of a man who took a selfie at the kabah with his tongue out and he has acid on it ( basically a strong party drug ). I saw so much wrong in the bottom floor of the kabah that I done all my tawaf on the top floor surrounding the kabah even tho it takes 10 times as long to make one circle. Just so you know the people who do this are not the Saudi people but people who come from other countries. That place is a melting pot of cultures so it can get a bit crazy. There are a lot of ignorant people. I swear it breaks my heart seeing such corruption at the kabah. What would the prophet say if you’re hurting, hogging, and trampling other Muslims just to touch the black stone. But please if you go to Mecca protect your women. Personally when I go with my wife I will do my tawaf at the top floor with her. For her safety. Also at the bottom floor you’ll need to re do your wudu 10 times per tawaf because random women will touch your skin for no reason and make you lose your wudu 😂
Lived there 13 years. Had similar experience. Had more negative eperiences with other expats than Saudis. Good to hear a more balanced perspective. More American Muslims probably need to share the positives in contrast to others who never lived there or who went with a negative attitude from the start and push a one sided, un-nuanced view. Many American expat Muslims have lived there much longer and are still there.
12:08 Mecca and Medina aren't for Saudis only, they're for all Muslims, so every Muslim cares about that land, doesn't matter if we're Saudi or not, and the reason we don't live there is because this government prevents us, only since the last 100 years are we prevented from travelling and living where we want without this passports/visas etc. Also on the issue about "priorities," just because we criticize these tawagheet doesn't mean we don't focus on Salah and other things, we pray, we study, we learn Arabic and all that, it's not like you either focus on Salah or focus on Shariah rule, we focus on EVERY aspect of Islam, from Salah, Fasting, Shariah, Jihad etc etc.

I live in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and it’s a blessing الحمد لله. Lots of comments are harsh, as if people were expecting that Saudi Arabia was Paradise. It’s not ! Where du YOU live my dear brothers and sisters ? Lots of you are living in a country where SHIRK is the norm ( which is the biggest sin) and still you allow yourself to spite on Saudi Arabia ? Is there any perfect country in this world ? No. We have to be thankful towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى for the security in this country, for being able to live our daily life as a Muslim and not being offended. I used to live in France, in the land of “human rights” ( LOL) and I can see a huge difference. I was insulted almost everyday for wearing the proper hijab ! I am very thankful to live in a Muslim country, I gained peace, I love living with my Muslim brothers and sisters even if they aren’t flawless ( but who is ?!). We have to BE PATIENT and to find excuses to Muslim governors and Muslim people
Unknown Akh Yes sure. I didn’t move from France to Saudi, I had already left France for an other Muslim country (Morocco) when I got married. Then with du’a and patience my husband found a job in Saudi Arabia. Actually to be honest it’s getting more difficult to find a job ( and to keep the one you have) in KSA because of saudization ( a plan that encourages to give jobs to Saudis). Although we have to keep in mind that our subsistance is in Allah سبحانه و تعالى hands. I don’t know how long we’ll be able to stay here, but alhamdulillah we thank Allah whatever happens. I don’t know if you live in a Muslim country, otherwise I really encourage to do so. If your not able to live in KSA, try an other Muslim country. If you have any diploma it can be an opportunity to find a job more easily , otherwise it’s not a problem. I know lots of people that earn a living in Muslim countries and don’t have any diplomas, everything is possible by Allah’s will. May Allah make it easy for all of us
Mee too I'm making du'a to live and maybe find a Saudi wife. I'm planning to make umrah this year, and Allah knows best, this could be an opportunity to make my du'as accepted. P.S I have also Moroccan ancestry and I live in Italy. May Allah gather us in Jannah.
A. B. Al Faransiya soo true. me too from the UK living in Saudi Arabia. I don't know how it will be moving out of Saudi. I literally feel home in this country. well Islam is home for everyone. I don't feel safe walking in the streets of London even day time. I can easily walk in Saudi Madinah streets past midnight with my hijab and niqaab. If only I can live in Saudi forever.
It's all about culture brother, "democracy" does not work in the Islamic culture or any other culture (whether is Chinese, Japanese, Orthodox-Russian, African) it works only in the west, but the west wants to impose it to the other cultures, for example the only stable countries in the Muslim world are monarchies (Saudi Arabia, Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Morocco), look at Lybia and Iraq now, prosperous countries back then under 2 strong men (Gheddafi and Saddam Hussein) now with "democracy" are in a mess, it just doesn't work, even this "democracy" has a lot of negatives aspects, it is not the best system, that's my personal opinion
I live in indonesia, indonesia has democracy system but its suck. When the most voted is the winner no matter you are cheating or something like that just like the situation in indonesia right now its just a mess just like you said.
Bismillaah Yes.. as someone living in Indonesia, a country that underwent this kind of change from so-called "authoritarianistic government" to "democracy", I agree.. Democracy only opens the door for disunity and dissents, and beautifies hate speech and protects the spread of social diseases with the notion of free speech. In Indonesia, before reformation (democratization), it was more stable. True, there are shortcomings here and there. But, overall things are stable and secure. After reformation, it is true that people can speak more freely, do whatever they want (have tattoos, etc). But, the people are getting more fragmented. As per the consequence of freedom to speak and embark on political ventures, numerous political parties arise and the differences become more prevalent. Every person can speak, including those who are not educated, or those who have destructive beliefs. And with social media, it's become like a nation-wide speaker's corner. Everywhere, people likes to debate more than build the society together. And people become reluctant of refuting bad people and ideas, because they will be labeled "anti-democracy", or "anti free-speech".. Allaah and His Messenger truly has sent the best of religion, that puts into detail how to live in a society, how to create stability, how we deal with a just ruler, and how we deal with an unjust ruler, the proper way to give our critiques, etc. And it's exactly not through democracy and its methods, or through any method outside of Islaam. May Allaah bless the muslim countries, and make us people who implement the deen.. aameen.. Truly, it is said that the 'ulamaa can see a fitna before it happens. And the laypeople can see it after it happened. The righteous scholars have warned against rebelling, although the ruler is unjust, because the madharat of having no ruler/anarchy is worse than having an unjust ruler.. but people went on and rebel, and after years and years they finally realized that the scholars were right..

You are white AND American (that says it all, brother!) I was born in Saudi Arabia. I have lived ALL OF MY LIFE THERE except for the last 2years (I am in Canada now). I am Yemeni Arab and a practicing Muslim who wears modestly and suffers here in Canada as it's hard for a Muslim woman to live here, but Saudi Arabia canceled my residency, and I wasn't given my natural right: the Saudi citizenship. Not only that, but I was prevented from studying in university, taking any government program training, receiving healthcare in any public hospital, starting any kind of business, or marrying a Saudi man (YES! the Saudi government doesn't allow Saudis and non-Saudis to marry except in very limited situations and under strict conditions, yet it's very easy if a Saudi marries a Western!). I lost my jobs.. one job after another.. despite being an excellent and dedicated and very loyal employee even though I received excellent performance certificates from almost every place I worked at. The reason was always that I am not Saudi, so if a Saudi wants my place they can take it. Two of my sisters also lost their jobs this way. Most of our employers exploit us and paid us very little or sometimes never paid us at all. I worked in the last 10 years there as English teacher, so I met many US, Canadian, British teachers who were treated like they're superior humans. Actually, any European (Caucasian) person is treated very well and much better than any other nationality. Some of the teachers I worked with were Romanians, Turkish, Russians, and Georgians, who weren't even able to pronounce English words properly to save their lives. They would pronounce "muscle" as /muskul/ and "three" as /tri/ and most of these (native speakers or not) were mostly bad teachers in general (lazy, careless, helping students to cheat, some even insult Arabs and Muslims...etc), but they were too white and too blonde to be punished or fired or even talked to about their bad teaching habits. Those plus any teacher with a North American or European or Australian passport were paid 3 to 4 times more than even the Saudi teachers themselves, with the Arab teachers being paid the least (lower even than Asian and African teachers). So.. again, you only know one face of Saudi Arabia, the face that loves people like you, and it's so unfair of you, brother, to speak lightly about all of these injustices I and millions like me suffered from, especially because there were hundreds of thousands of Yemenis (and other nationalities) who were born in Saudi Arabia and get expelled even though they had valid residence cards, and as a Yemeni, I was treated very disrespectfully almost every time I meet a Saudi official to renew a document or pass a check point. I suffered from discrimination in every aspect of my 40 years of life there, and in the end.. even my right to stay there (where I was born and live my whole life) was taken from me. Again, you are very white AND American, so you've been living in entirely "another Saudi Arabia". Thank you.
Thanks bro Sajid, it’s good to hear foreigners’ point of view about your country and I agreed that, by nature, Saudis love to serve others for free and get rewarded by Allah. May Allah guide you to make Dawah affordable in your country. Hope to see you come back again.
I love Saudi Arabia and its people. The government deserves a salute for the progress they have made. Their hospitality and how they manage to keep every thing going during hajj and Ramadan time in Mekkah and Madinah is absolutely remarkable.
During Hajj I was called an hayawan by an Arab salesman (goldshop), he thought I didn't know what it means. I get called a miskeen. All browns are apparently miskeen by Arabs that I've met there. There are good Arabs there too but many are racist and it is as if it is part of their saudi Arab culture. I've seen less racism in UK than saudi.
Confirmation bias.. You already have hate for Arabs that you hear everything that is bad.. Believe me South Asians are the most when it comes to insulting and gossiping in their own language and we know that and you know it too.
Saudi arabia the best muslim country in the world today. May Allah protect saudi arabia and guide all muslim nations. InshaAllah i can get a job in saudi and raise a family there.
Sorry I know you want to stay away from politics but no one is saying that Saudis are inherently bad people (personally never have a connection with them) .... but what about khashoggi, Al Aouda & other olama, MBC, cinemas and concerts, now Discos and private beach. If people are asking you they ask about those changes not about people being nice .... and actually you don't have to answer anyone if you don't feel like it.
Exactly, we are trained in the Arabian Peninsula to worship Americans and white people. The way you get treated in Saudi as a white man is a pattern you will see in Bahrain, oman, uae, Qatar and Kuwait. As a white man, your saudi legal sponsor can't oppress u and you are getting higher salary than other employees . Just tell me about the injustice in Saudia Arabia. 😷😷😷 You cant hide their crimes with a short video like that while yemenis are bombed on the daily
@@muslimhaitham4247 exposing criminal leaders has nothing to do with Saudi citizens. Am actually advocating/ exercising ab Islamic and democratic right here 🌸😊thanks
Earthy Nomad I don’t want to tell you why Saudi have prisoned AL OUDA because it is complicated but I can tell you that AL OUDA wasn’t really a nice guy, and the second point you mad about WHITE people getting respect, I think this is a racist thing to say that WHITE people are the only people who gets respect, Have you ever seen rich Indians in Saudi ? Have you seen how much respect they get in Saudi Arabia or most of the time in the UAE? You get respect not because of your skin color but because how much money you have and the type of car you ride, I will tell you something as a saudi guy, I own BMW car which is a average car and I’m 100% happy with it, I remember when I met another Saudi guy in UNI he was my friend (not really a friend but it was smooth between us) when he knew that I own BMW he immediately started lowering respect because he thinks he is better because he has a nicer car I forgot his car but I think it was CORVETE I’m not sure to be honest but I’m 100% sure that he lowered respect to me because of my car.
I live in London but I’m originally from Bangladesh, when you hear fajr adhan in Bangladesh it’s amazing because they’re not totally in sync so it sounds like echoes. and it’s same in any Muslim country because there are so many mosques near each other and when adhan sets off for fajr there’s no background noise so sounds amazing!
Asalamu alaikum habibi hayakallah ma sha Allah a very honest viewpoint. I lived in Saudi from 2006 to 2013 and I very much experienced much of what you said when I lived in jeddah. There is good and bad in every community but coimg from the London, my time in jeddah was the best time of my life. In conclusion, to live in saudi Arabia you need to have a certain mindset. That is, you want to live a more islamic life and increase in imam and knowledge. But if you came to saudi just for the purpose of earing money then you will not get the true benefit of living in an islamic environment. And Allah knowns best.
why shouldn't we be able to criticize the government of saudi arabia and also take care of our beliefs? Just because we criticize the government doesn't mean we don't do anything else. Mohammed Bin Salman commissioned the murder of several people and that is a major issue.
Masha'Allah brother Saajid you've addressed it very well. I lived in the Arabian peninsula as well. I've seen more positive things than negative. The feelings I used to have just living there was something I could never achieve anywhere else in the world! It was a blessing which is enough to praise that land forever. I've not seen ppl who have more *كرم* than the people of *بلاد الحرمين* may Allah preserve them. Even the police officers were generous to me everywhere I lived subhanAllah. I cant even count how many times... Now The public service system as you mentioned lacks some law and order! The Gov. Foreign policy with others is a different story. May Allah guide them. I wouldn't want that beloved land to go through what Arab spring brought to others! I think the verse of the Qur'an you quoted is powerful enough for ppl to see the change they're looking for!
I would like to ask, does Saudi government allow a financial system that deals with rhiba (usury)? If yes, then I have nothing else to say about how it’s easier to follow Islam there as Allah Subhanuwatala has absolutely forbidden dealing with this satanic financial system. By the way do you know the history of the Saudi royal family and how they came to power after toppling the last Khalif and the British government’s involvement in that?
My son is a revert to Islam Alhamdulillah and he has always wanted to study Islam there. Please can you send me the steps in how to get this process going? I will joyfully pass the info to him. In shaAllah
Allahu alam I know a lot of Somali people who were born and raised in Saudi and there’s a lot of racism and my best best friend she was born in Riyad she tells me all the positive and negative and she said even Pakistanis turn racist towards blacks because Saudi are she said they don’t see blacks us equal humans Allahu alam again she’s a good Muslim wallahi she wouldn’t lie to me and she said in some areas rich areas she saw white peoples women who are wearing normal western clothing and no one is harassing them
it is not lie this man is white person whites are treated like royalty in midle east he has no clue what other people especially blacks go through in that country and the rest of midle east only god knows
Jazaka Allahu khayran Sheikh Sajid. I'm a teacher in a Saudi school and I totally agree with you, the majority of Saudi people are very reasonable and very helpful and generous. I have many Saudi friends who have been involved in supporting students of knowledge without them knowing about it. Who cares about politics when you can practice the deen without having problems.?!
Everyone should care about politics as what your government is doing in your own country and around the world should concern you. The whole Muslim umma is a big family. So if your government is doing any wrong to any other Muslim in another country, it should concern you.
Yes who cares about countless innocent Yemenis slaughtered, who cares about the travesty of Islam called wahabism being pushed on Muslims around the world through the power of petrodollars, who cares about being in bed with Usa and the zionist entity.... who cares?
What a beautiful talk, MashAllah. I have lived in the US for 25 years now, but have grown up in Saudi until I was 15. I also work in Hollywood, which you referenced at the end. Thank you for sharing!
Brother as a Saudi I agree with you, the government is not changing, it's the young generation, may Allah guide them. I have a lot of faith as I've seen many cases of Saudi like myself that travels abroad to study and finds out the true value of the Islamic lifestyle we have back home. May I share your video on other platforms sir? I will include you channel's link of course.
@@abo3zzzam Yes I know, but I was meaning in a sense that you're living in a country that applies at least the Sunnah and has a vast scholarly body and the haramain. I unfortunately live in a country where Muslims don't really like the Sunnah nor do they really act upon it, and as soon as I grow the beard they would even go to the extent to report to the authorities, and I'm talking about MUSLIMS. You don't need a VISA to perform Umrah, I do, and really, the environment a Muslim lives in plays a role too. If I could, I would live in Makkah even as a beggar.
@Saajid Do they have private institutions where one can learn Arabic and Qur'anic studies on part time basis? I know One has to be 25 and under to get into university there. Well, I'm above of that age so trying to find if there are private centres to learn Qur'anic studies.
Assalamu Alaykum. I agree with what you are saying but we can't forget about the crisis in Yemen. Do u wanna know who's slaughtering children and fellow Muslims over there: Saudi Arabia. We cant forget Jamal khashoggi either. The Saudi monarchy says they are God fearing and stuff but they are constantly after money and weapons from the US. After all who is fulfilling the prophecy that the Bedouins will one day compete to build tall towers. Yes we must not let politics affect our Deen but we also must not ignore these atrocities that the Saudi government is committing. We must ask ourselves what image does Saudi Arabia portray to non Muslims.
Hello brother , in relation to the Yemen issue, it is unfortunately difficult to judge but you have to put in mind that saudi has stepped in there in defence of the Yemen government after they requested that and they are fighting shia yemenis Houthis who are causing trouble. Regarding khashoggi, you can believe what you want, but the people held responsible are now in trial and going through judgement. Saudi is far from perfect but it is much better than a lot of Muslim countries I would even say it’s the best out of the bunch and maybe Saudi is overly- criticised due to false reporting and wrongly judge imo. End of the day even the richest Saudi king is still human like the rest of us. Thanks
Like it or Not, currently no single muslim country in the world use sharia law as official government law and implement in daily activities except Saudi Arabia. As a muslim I'm very proud about it, may Allah bless the Saudi King and their ulama.
Does Saudi government have financial system that allows dealing with usury(rhiba)? If yes, then no matter what sharia law you’re proud of, the nation won’t be able to escape the wrath of Allah Subhanuwatal and His messenger.
Brother, it looks that you are a decent person & Muslim. I'm very happy for you and wish you and your family will live in Islam & with Islam. I wish I have met you when you were here to take you to see other places in Saudi Arabia. Of course, you were in the best city spiritually and peacefully, the City of The Prophet (PBUH). But, it would have been good if had the chance to see more about customs & people in different places here. I agree with almost everything you mentioned. Also, it is true that we are in total peace & joy in this country, and if there is a major reason for that it will be Islam & its teachings & the so many Muslims who are doing prayers and good deeds for themselves and others. Allah Bless You & all other Muslims with you...
By far your best video! Each point discussed deserves at least an hour or more? Indeed, Government is a reflection of the people. Unfortunately, we like magic. We want someone to take over and fix all our problems. Doing it ourselves is hard work. I also enjoyed your videos about Saudi food a while back. I wouldn't mind hearing more about the people. Thanks for everything. Aloha! Assalamualaikum!
Thanks for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and experience in Saudi. More feminists need to watch this video as all they do now is encourage women to get rid of their clothes and tell others to not body shame a naked woman.
As salaamu 'alaykum brother Saajid. May Allaah increase you in wisdom and understanding. I'm very happy with all the good things you've said about Saudi, practicing Islam there and its citizens. I have friends who live there and all you've said checks out. However, the perspective has been that of a person who hasn't fatally been damaged by a government policy or action. Our true test as Muslims is to see ourselves as one single body where if a part is harmed, the whole feels the pain. I honestly feel there are those who pray, fast and might have same opinions and aqeedah as you but have been severely hit till their eeman is tested. We should not see all those criticising the government as those who only want to follow their desires. It belittles the struggles of those with genuine concerns!
SAUDI PEOPLE ARE THE MOST RACIST AND RUDE ON EARTH! STOP TELLING COMIC STORIES BROTHER PLEASE! THEIR GOVERNMENT IS THE WORST ON EARTH! EVERY ONE SAW HOW THEY CUT KHASHGJI WITH SAW!

congratulations, ameen!
I have been living in Saudi Arabia for more than 9 years now and I am Alhamdulillah happy…May Allah keep us here in the land of Tauwheed…Amin
Allahu A’alam, I have not been to Saudi. As an Afghan, we have 100s of 1000s Afghan labour workers there. A lot of them have had terrible experiences with the people/business owners/their bosses. They have been subject to discrimination/prejudice, Allah knows best what the reason might be for this.
This is not a reflection of everyone out there; I have also heard stories of people bringing out full fridges and placing them on the streets so that anyone passing by can benefit from the food.
There are many labour workers from other countries (e.g. Bangladesh) who have been subject to oppression and discrimination.
Regardless, No one is infallible. The Saudi’s have established a great environment for seekers of knowledge. But to be just we have to be considerate of our brothers from 3rd world countries who are not treated as humans let alone as Muslim brothers.
There will always be good and bad people everywhere you go, no place is ever free from that no where is perfect!..may Allah keep us on the straight path Ameen 🤲
الله يثبتك🌹🇧🇭
My advice to this brother is don’t separate politics from Islam just because our rulers have. Don’t secularise islam just because our rulers enforce it.
This narrative is typical to secular Saudi Wahabism. That’s how you pacify society.
It should be separated, not everyone likes to live such a conservative society. Islam is for an individual, and if a person wants to practice it, then practice it. But don't make others go by it's rules.
To be fair, if all the countries had sharia law like Saudi Arabia no one would uprise. You cannot compare Saudi Arabia to other muslim majority countries
Oh yes and not to mention the brutal killings of innocent civilians eg Jamal kashoggi

Interesting perspective, although I should add that race in general has a lot to do with how you are treated overall in Saudi. Not saying everyone may be good or bad, but there Definitely comes privilege being white or being from the western world. Many black people till today face heavy discrimination in these same areas unfortunately. So their overall approach may be the complete opposite as well

We got muslim mandem out there who are like “yo lets fix the Saudi government” while he’s on bad terms with his mother🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ priorities first.
Yeah subhanAllah, when I went for Hajj last year it was my first time. I saw jewellery stores cover the shop with a blanket leaving it and going to pray in the haram. I was shocked, like is nobody going to rob it. But no! nothing happened and we returned and they were open as usual after salah. It's amazing how peaceful it is.
Everyone focuses on all the bad that they do, and not the overwhelming good.
What have they got to do with Egypt and Syria? And if you want to blame anyone for Yemen, blame the Iranians, after all they did start the war. It isn’t like Saudi is purposely dropping bombs on innocents. I find it unreasonable when the Saudis are blamed for everything. They have casualties as well you know. Do you know how many missiles have been launched towards Makkah, Taif, Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha and other places?
Everybody knows that things get stolen in Mecca. I have family whose possessions were stolen there. You need to be paranoid and keep an eye on everything of yours. Maybe shops don't get robbed but people certainly do!
Can Haktan. Ok, this has two parts to it.
First, oil. Who would you like them to sell it to? Iran? The country that is carrying out a proxy war against them? And where do you think the money is going? Do you know how much of that money is spent for the Haramain, as well as the hujjaj. That alone costs billions of Riyals, and we’re not even talking about other Islamic projects that serve the Muslims living there. And as Sajid has said, studying Islam in Saudi is free for expats. Where do you think all that money comes from?
Second, supporting the West. In case you didn’t read the articles properly, Saudi keeps the peace regionally, wish keeps things calm in the area. Are any of the Arab countries suffering? The opposition of the Arab Spring was itself unbenificiel to Saudi. All of them are working together. And it seems like you’ve forgotten all the times they’ve opposed the West. Have you forgotten of King Faisal and his opposition to Israel? He defended the Palestinian Cause to the extent that it got him assassinated by the CIA.
And lastly, in terms of who is whose puppet. In my eyes, I see Muhammad bin Salman playing America. Didn’t he get Trump to sign a massive weapons deal as well as their ability to go ahead with nuclear power, even though it isn’t in America’s interest? Saudi is playing them, you just haven’t realised it.
@@heraldofmorning3219 Saudi Arabia is intentionally bombing civilians, especially hospitals and they are getting called out for it by civilian organisations, like Doctors Without Borders.
@@heraldofmorning3219 You are confused. US is playing Saudi. Saudi is currently fighting an American war against Iran in Yemen.
I am aware of most of the sectarian extremism from Shia clerics in Iran, however I believe the proxy wars are pointless and mostly caused by the US to cause division between and amongst Muslims and Sunni/Shia. Were it not for the US, Saudi and Iran would most likely have maintained peaceful relations and focused on Palestine.
Saudi is keeping the peace? They are amongst the main countries responsible for brutality and killing and raping innocents, such as their tyranny in Bahrain against peaceful protesters who actually supported the regime and were merely calling for better conditions. Their actions are just like what Iran have done to Syria. Except ironically the Shia majority protesters in Bahrain did not have the support of Iranian weapons. The Sunni majority protesters in Syria had the support of Sunni weapons and nations, mainly Turkey and Saudi.
Saudi also have supported the killing of thousands of Muslims in Egypt and Libya. In those cases, they were the ones that caused fitna where fitna didn't exist.
Thank you brother
I luv Saudi Arabia for what it is doing for Muslim students.
It’s blessing for Saudi Arabia when Muslims like you study there.
It’s funny when you speak about Saudi from experience and some haters say otherwise even thought they only knew Saudi from the news.
لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم
I lived in Jordan for two years. I’m from the UK but originally Palestinian. My skin complexion is brown and not white. Because of that you get treated like crap. And the amount of racism Iv experienced there was more than in the UK by 100 fold. Only because I’m Palestinian and I’m not white. If you’re white everyone wants to be your friend, everyone loves you and you get treated like a king. Anyway, I was so sick of it I went back to the UK and I would never go back. I went to Saudi for umrah and tbh I was expecting the same thing. But I got the complete opposite. I was only there for a week and I experienced things Iv never in my life seen. At prayer times they leave there shops as they are and go pray. So people don’t steal. I got a taxi to get to a location and I only had 500 riyal note and he didn’t have enough change. He gave me his number and said just call me when you get change and left. Another thing that happened is that I wanted to buy some clothes from a store and I left my wallet in the hotel. He gave me all the things I wanted and said pay me when you have the money. These are people Iv never met before. I visited another city called riyad and one taxi driver, there first one I got, literally spent the whole day with me and didn’t even want me to pay him. Taking me around. In Medina, random people would approach you and talk to you and just want to be your friend randomly. People from all across the world. I’m not going to lie, in Mecca it can get a bit crazy but it wouldn’t be from the Saudi people but from foreign Muslims. I saw things in Mecca which broke my heart. At the black stone for example, people push, shove , jump on top of people, and trample old people to get to touch it and when they get to it they hog it and hold on and not let others have a chance and people would have to literally drag him off. Me and my cousins saved an old woman from being trampled because no one cared, they just want to touch the stone. That is so sad. Also, if you’re going to do ummah with females with you I would highly advise you protect them in Mecca. I have seen and know girls who have been sexually harassed at the kabah. One story of a girl I know was praying and a man was standing right behind her. She thought it might just be be because it’s crowded but literally put his crouch on her back side to the extent that she felt “ you know what “. She had to stop the prayer and leave. I even saw a picture of a man who took a selfie at the kabah with his tongue out and he has acid on it ( basically a strong party drug ). I saw so much wrong in the bottom floor of the kabah that I done all my tawaf on the top floor surrounding the kabah even tho it takes 10 times as long to make one circle. Just so you know the people who do this are not the Saudi people but people who come from other countries. That place is a melting pot of cultures so it can get a bit crazy. There are a lot of ignorant people. I swear it breaks my heart seeing such corruption at the kabah. What would the prophet say if you’re hurting, hogging, and trampling other Muslims just to touch the black stone. But please if you go to Mecca protect your women. Personally when I go with my wife I will do my tawaf at the top floor with her. For her safety. Also at the bottom floor you’ll need to re do your wudu 10 times per tawaf because random women will touch your skin for no reason and make you lose your wudu 😂
Lived there 13 years. Had similar experience. Had more negative eperiences with other expats than Saudis. Good to hear a more balanced perspective. More American Muslims probably need to share the positives in contrast to others who never lived there or who went with a negative attitude from the start and push a one sided, un-nuanced view. Many American expat Muslims have lived there much longer and are still there.
When I went Saudi for umrah. I stayed at makkah the people helped me.
big respect, for someone to abandon his past life and go in search for the teaching of islam in a far away place
ماشاء الله, الله يثبتك على الدين الحق
12:08 Mecca and Medina aren't for Saudis only, they're for all Muslims, so every Muslim cares about that land, doesn't matter if we're Saudi or not, and the reason we don't live there is because this government prevents us, only since the last 100 years are we prevented from travelling and living where we want without this passports/visas etc.
Also on the issue about "priorities," just because we criticize these tawagheet doesn't mean we don't focus on Salah and other things, we pray, we study, we learn Arabic and all that, it's not like you either focus on Salah or focus on Shariah rule, we focus on EVERY aspect of Islam, from Salah, Fasting, Shariah, Jihad etc etc.
No it doesn't belong to us but from the time of Abraham it was the Arabians who responsible for this land it will still be us tell the end of time

Experiences differ depending on the skin colour you have in Saudi. Someone else would have not so positive things to say about people in Saudi Arabia. Your thoughts are based on the positive things you had and you avoided saying the bad.
There's also the saying that people get the type of ruler that suits them. Arabs in general like to be ruled with a stick

I live in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and it’s a blessing الحمد لله.
Lots of comments are harsh, as if people were expecting that Saudi Arabia was Paradise. It’s not !
Where du YOU live my dear brothers and sisters ? Lots of you are living in a country where SHIRK is the norm ( which is the biggest sin) and still you allow yourself to spite on Saudi Arabia ? Is there any perfect country in this world ? No.
We have to be thankful towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى for the security in this country, for being able to live our daily life as a Muslim and not being offended.
I used to live in France, in the land of “human rights” ( LOL) and I can see a huge difference. I was insulted almost everyday for wearing the proper hijab !
I am very thankful to live in a Muslim country, I gained peace, I love living with my Muslim brothers and sisters even if they aren’t flawless ( but who is ?!). We have to BE PATIENT and to find excuses to Muslim governors and Muslim people
Could i ask some questions on how you moved to Saudi from France?
Unknown Akh Yes sure.
I didn’t move from France to Saudi, I had already left France for an other Muslim country (Morocco) when I got married. Then with du’a and patience my husband found a job in Saudi Arabia.
Actually to be honest it’s getting more difficult to find a job ( and to keep the one you have) in KSA because of saudization ( a plan that encourages to give jobs to Saudis). Although we have to keep in mind that our subsistance is in Allah سبحانه و تعالى hands. I don’t know how long we’ll be able to stay here, but alhamdulillah we thank Allah whatever happens.
I don’t know if you live in a Muslim country, otherwise I really encourage to do so. If your not able to live in KSA, try an other Muslim country. If you have any diploma it can be an opportunity to find a job more easily , otherwise it’s not a problem. I know lots of people that earn a living in Muslim countries and don’t have any diplomas, everything is possible by Allah’s will.

It's all about culture brother, "democracy" does not work in the Islamic culture or any other culture (whether is Chinese, Japanese, Orthodox-Russian, African) it works only in the west, but the west wants to impose it to the other cultures, for example the only stable countries in the Muslim world are monarchies (Saudi Arabia, Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Morocco), look at Lybia and Iraq now, prosperous countries back then under 2 strong men (Gheddafi and Saddam Hussein) now with "democracy" are in a mess, it just doesn't work, even this "democracy" has a lot of negatives aspects, it is not the best system, that's my personal opinion
I live in indonesia, indonesia has democracy system but its suck. When the most voted is the winner no matter you are cheating or something like that just like the situation in indonesia right now its just a mess just like you said.
Bismillaah
Yes.. as someone living in Indonesia, a country that underwent this kind of change from so-called "authoritarianistic government" to "democracy", I agree..
Democracy only opens the door for disunity and dissents, and beautifies hate speech and protects the spread of social diseases with the notion of free speech.
In Indonesia, before reformation (democratization), it was more stable. True, there are shortcomings here and there. But, overall things are stable and secure.
After reformation, it is true that people can speak more freely, do whatever they want (have tattoos, etc). But, the people are getting more fragmented. As per the consequence of freedom to speak and embark on political ventures, numerous political parties arise and the differences become more prevalent. Every person can speak, including those who are not educated, or those who have destructive beliefs. And with social media, it's become like a nation-wide speaker's corner. Everywhere, people likes to debate more than build the society together. And people become reluctant of refuting bad people and ideas, because they will be labeled "anti-democracy", or "anti free-speech"..
Allaah and His Messenger truly has sent the best of religion, that puts into detail how to live in a society, how to create stability, how we deal with a just ruler, and how we deal with an unjust ruler, the proper way to give our critiques, etc. And it's exactly not through democracy and its methods, or through any method outside of Islaam. May Allaah bless the muslim countries, and make us people who implement the deen.. aameen..
Truly, it is said that the 'ulamaa can see a fitna before it happens. And the laypeople can see it after it happened. The righteous scholars have warned against rebelling, although the ruler is unjust, because the madharat of having no ruler/anarchy is worse than having an unjust ruler.. but people went on and rebel, and after years and years they finally realized that the scholars were right..

You are white AND American (that says it all, brother!)
I was born in Saudi Arabia. I have lived ALL OF MY LIFE THERE except for the last 2years (I am in Canada now).
I am Yemeni Arab and a practicing Muslim who wears modestly and suffers here in Canada as it's hard for a Muslim woman to live here, but Saudi Arabia canceled my residency, and I wasn't given my natural right: the Saudi citizenship. Not only that, but I was prevented from studying in university, taking any government program training, receiving healthcare in any public hospital, starting any kind of business, or marrying a Saudi man (YES! the Saudi government doesn't allow Saudis and non-Saudis to marry except in very limited situations and under strict conditions, yet it's very easy if a Saudi marries a Western!). I lost my jobs.. one job after another.. despite being an excellent and dedicated and very loyal employee even though I received excellent performance certificates from almost every place I worked at. The reason was always that I am not Saudi, so if a Saudi wants my place they can take it. Two of my sisters also lost their jobs this way. Most of our employers exploit us and paid us very little or sometimes never paid us at all. I worked in the last 10 years there as English teacher, so I met many US, Canadian, British teachers who were treated like they're superior humans. Actually, any European (Caucasian) person is treated very well and much better than any other nationality. Some of the teachers I worked with were Romanians, Turkish, Russians, and Georgians, who weren't even able to pronounce English words properly to save their lives. They would pronounce "muscle" as /muskul/ and "three" as /tri/ and most of these (native speakers or not) were mostly bad teachers in general (lazy, careless, helping students to cheat, some even insult Arabs and Muslims...etc), but they were too white and too blonde to be punished or fired or even talked to about their bad teaching habits. Those plus any teacher with a North American or European or Australian passport were paid 3 to 4 times more than even the Saudi teachers themselves, with the Arab teachers being paid the least (lower even than Asian and African teachers).
So.. again, you only know one face of Saudi Arabia, the face that loves people like you, and it's so unfair of you, brother, to speak lightly about all of these injustices I and millions like me suffered from, especially because there were hundreds of thousands of Yemenis (and other nationalities) who were born in Saudi Arabia and get expelled even though they had valid residence cards, and as a Yemeni, I was treated very disrespectfully almost every time I meet a Saudi official to renew a document or pass a check point. I suffered from discrimination in every aspect of my 40 years of life there, and in the end.. even my right to stay there (where I was born and live my whole life) was taken from me.
Again, you are very white AND American, so you've been living in entirely "another Saudi Arabia".
Thank you.
Thanks bro Sajid, it’s good to hear foreigners’ point of view about your country and I agreed that, by nature, Saudis love to serve others for free and get rewarded by Allah. May Allah guide you to make Dawah affordable in your country. Hope to see you come back again.

Hey man I agree with what you said here totally. Best wishes from Saudi Arabia
During Hajj I was called an hayawan by an Arab salesman (goldshop), he thought I didn't know what it means. I get called a miskeen. All browns are apparently miskeen by Arabs that I've met there. There are good Arabs there too but many are racist and it is as if it is part of their saudi Arab culture. I've seen less racism in UK than saudi.
Confirmation bias.. You already have hate for Arabs that you hear everything that is bad.. Believe me South Asians are the most when it comes to insulting and gossiping in their own language and we know that and you know it too.
Saudi arabia the best muslim country in the world today. May Allah protect saudi arabia and guide all muslim nations. InshaAllah i can get a job in saudi and raise a family there.

I think this is a racist thing to say that WHITE people are the only people who gets respect,
Have you ever seen rich Indians in Saudi ? Have you seen how much respect they get in Saudi Arabia or most of the time in the UAE?
You get respect not because of your skin color but because how much money you have and the type of car you ride,
I will tell you something as a saudi guy, I own BMW car which is a average car and I’m 100% happy with it, I remember when I met another Saudi guy in UNI he was my friend (not really a friend but it was smooth between us) when he knew that I own BMW he immediately started lowering respect because he thinks he is better because he has a nicer car I forgot his car but I think it was CORVETE I’m not sure to be honest but I’m 100% sure that he lowered respect to me because of my car.
I live in London but I’m originally from Bangladesh, when you hear fajr adhan in Bangladesh it’s amazing because they’re not totally in sync so it sounds like echoes. and it’s same in any Muslim country because there are so many mosques near each other and when adhan sets off for fajr there’s no background noise so sounds amazing!
Asalamu alaikum habibi hayakallah ma sha Allah a very honest viewpoint. I lived in Saudi from 2006 to 2013 and I very much experienced much of what you said when I lived in jeddah. There is good and bad in every community but coimg from the London, my time in jeddah was the best time of my life.
In conclusion, to live in saudi Arabia you need to have a certain mindset. That is, you want to live a more islamic life and increase in imam and knowledge. But if you came to saudi just for the purpose of earing money then you will not get the true benefit of living in an islamic environment. And Allah knowns best.
why shouldn't we be able to criticize the government of saudi arabia and also take care of our beliefs? Just because we criticize the government doesn't mean we don't do anything else. Mohammed Bin Salman commissioned the murder of several people and that is a major issue.
Masha'Allah brother Saajid you've addressed it very well. I lived in the Arabian peninsula as well. I've seen more positive things than negative. The feelings I used to have just living there was something I could never achieve anywhere else in the world! It was a blessing which is enough to praise that land forever. I've not seen ppl who have more *كرم* than the people of *بلاد الحرمين* may Allah preserve them. Even the police officers were generous to me everywhere I lived subhanAllah. I cant even count how many times... Now The public service system as you mentioned lacks some law and order! The Gov. Foreign policy with others is a different story. May Allah guide them. I wouldn't want that beloved land to go through what Arab spring brought to others! I think the verse of the Qur'an you quoted is powerful enough for ppl to see the change they're looking for!
I would like to ask, does Saudi government allow a financial system that deals with rhiba (usury)? If yes, then I have nothing else to say about how it’s easier to follow Islam there as Allah Subhanuwatala has absolutely forbidden dealing with this satanic financial system. By the way do you know the history of the Saudi royal family and how they came to power after toppling the last Khalif and the British government’s involvement in that?
Banks in Saudi Arabia are Islamic banks and must have Shari’a committees.
And Echoing of Azaan is so peaceful.
I wish the whole world tasted it's pleasure and peace.
My son is a revert to Islam Alhamdulillah and he has always wanted to study Islam there. Please can you send me the steps in how to get this process going? I will joyfully pass the info to him. In shaAllah
Allahu alam I know a lot of Somali people who were born and raised in Saudi and there’s a lot of racism and my best best friend she was born in Riyad she tells me all the positive and negative and she said even Pakistanis turn racist towards blacks because Saudi are she said they don’t see blacks us equal humans Allahu alam again she’s a good Muslim wallahi she wouldn’t lie to me and she said in some areas rich areas she saw white peoples women who are wearing normal western clothing and no one is harassing them
it is not lie this man is white person whites are treated like royalty in midle east he has no clue what other people especially blacks go through in that country and the rest of midle east only god knows
Jazaka Allahu khayran Sheikh Sajid.
I'm a teacher in a Saudi school and I totally agree with you, the majority of Saudi people are very reasonable and very helpful and generous. I have many Saudi friends who have been involved in supporting students of knowledge without them knowing about it.
Who cares about politics when you can practice the deen without having problems.?!
Everyone should care about politics as what your government is doing in your own country and around the world should concern you. The whole Muslim umma is a big family. So if your government is doing any wrong to any other Muslim in another country, it should concern you.
@@fahimal9417 you are right!
Yes who cares about countless innocent Yemenis slaughtered, who cares about the travesty of Islam called wahabism being pushed on Muslims around the world through the power of petrodollars, who cares about being in bed with Usa and the zionist entity.... who cares?
Salam hu alaikum. Enjoyed this video. As usual
What a beautiful talk, MashAllah. I have lived in the US for 25 years now, but have grown up in Saudi until I was 15. I also work in Hollywood, which you referenced at the end. Thank you for sharing!
You should look for an alternative job as working in Hollywood is not appropriate as the kind of stuff they make which all are prohibited in Islam!
Brother as a Saudi I agree with you, the government is not changing, it's the young generation, may Allah guide them. I have a lot of faith as I've seen many cases of Saudi like myself that travels abroad to study and finds out the true value of the Islamic lifestyle we have back home. May I share your video on other platforms sir? I will include you channel's link of course.
You're blessed to be a Saudi. I wish I was one.
May Allah guide us all.
No brother you are blessed to be a Muslim. Your slippers are more blessed than a Saudi without Islam.
@@abo3zzzam Yes I know, but I was meaning in a sense that you're living in a country that applies at least the Sunnah and has a vast scholarly body and the haramain. I unfortunately live in a country where Muslims don't really like the Sunnah nor do they really act upon it, and as soon as I grow the beard they would even go to the extent to report to the authorities, and I'm talking about MUSLIMS. You don't need a VISA to perform Umrah, I do, and really, the environment a Muslim lives in plays a role too. If I could, I would live in Makkah even as a beggar.
@@abo3zzzam I'm willing to make Umrah this year so I can see Makkah for the first time in my life in sha Allah.
@Saajid
Do they have private institutions where one can learn Arabic and Qur'anic studies on part time basis? I know One has to be 25 and under to get into university there. Well, I'm above of that age so trying to find if there are private centres to learn Qur'anic studies.
Assalamu Alaykum. I agree with what you are saying but we can't forget about the crisis in Yemen. Do u wanna know who's slaughtering children and fellow Muslims over there: Saudi Arabia. We cant forget Jamal khashoggi either. The Saudi monarchy says they are God fearing and stuff but they are constantly after money and weapons from the US. After all who is fulfilling the prophecy that the Bedouins will one day compete to build tall towers. Yes we must not let politics affect our Deen but we also must not ignore these atrocities that the Saudi government is committing. We must ask ourselves what image does Saudi Arabia portray to non Muslims.
Hello brother , in relation to the Yemen issue, it is unfortunately difficult to judge but you have to put in mind that saudi has stepped in there in defence of the Yemen government after they requested that and they are fighting shia yemenis Houthis who are causing trouble. Regarding khashoggi, you can believe what you want, but the people held responsible are now in trial and going through judgement. Saudi is far from perfect but it is much better than a lot of Muslim countries I would even say it’s the best out of the bunch and maybe Saudi is overly- criticised due to false reporting and wrongly judge imo. End of the day even the richest Saudi king is still human like the rest of us. Thanks
Like it or Not, currently no single muslim country in the world use sharia law as official government law and implement in daily activities except Saudi Arabia. As a muslim I'm very proud about it, may Allah bless the Saudi King and their ulama.
Does Saudi government have financial system that allows dealing with usury(rhiba)? If yes, then no matter what sharia law you’re proud of, the nation won’t be able to escape the wrath of Allah Subhanuwatal and His messenger.
I enjoyed listening to your perspective.
Brother, it looks that you are a decent person & Muslim. I'm very happy for you and wish you and your family will live in Islam & with Islam. I wish I have met you when you were here to take you to see other places in Saudi Arabia. Of course, you were in the best city spiritually and peacefully, the City of The Prophet (PBUH). But, it would have been good if had the chance to see more about customs & people in different places here. I agree with almost everything you mentioned. Also, it is true that we are in total peace & joy in this country, and if there is a major reason for that it will be Islam & its teachings & the so many Muslims who are doing prayers and good deeds for themselves and others. Allah Bless You & all other Muslims with you...
Jazak Allah Khairan for being fair.. May Allah bless you with happiness in this life and after along with all your dear ones.
Ameen
By far your best video! Each point discussed deserves at least an hour or more? Indeed, Government is a reflection of the people. Unfortunately, we like magic. We want someone to take over and fix all our problems. Doing it ourselves is hard work. I also enjoyed your videos about Saudi food a while back. I wouldn't mind hearing more about the people. Thanks for everything. Aloha! Assalamualaikum!
Thanks for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and experience in Saudi. More feminists need to watch this video as all they do now is encourage women to get rid of their clothes and tell others to not body shame a naked woman.
You summed it up nicely bro Jazakallahu kheyr
Unbiased honest opinion from an enlightened perspective. I am not Saudi but I've been there and i almost fully agree with you
As salaamu 'alaykum brother Saajid. May Allaah increase you in wisdom and understanding. I'm very happy with all the good things you've said about Saudi, practicing Islam there and its citizens. I have friends who live there and all you've said checks out.
However, the perspective has been that of a person who hasn't fatally been damaged by a government policy or action. Our true test as Muslims is to see ourselves as one single body where if a part is harmed, the whole feels the pain.
I honestly feel there are those who pray, fast and might have same opinions and aqeedah as you but have been severely hit till their eeman is tested. We should not see all those criticising the government as those who only want to follow their desires. It belittles the struggles of those with genuine concerns!
BRAVISSIMO
Saudi people are nice that doesn't mean their government is not corrupted.
SAUDI PEOPLE ARE THE MOST RACIST AND RUDE ON EARTH! STOP TELLING COMIC STORIES BROTHER PLEASE! THEIR GOVERNMENT IS THE WORST ON EARTH! EVERY ONE SAW HOW THEY CUT KHASHGJI WITH SAW!
you changed a lot of thoughts.
Gave me clarity. Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah
May allah reward you.
Every praise to allah
Alhamdulillah
Yes I heard the same story's from a brother who is in madina university. Thye have zuhd and are generous. May Allah swt reward them tremendously. I love al my brothers around the globe the one's I have a problem whit are the so called leaders. I love hearing you beautiful storys and you are a beautiful brother. May Allah swt keep you on the straight phat. Amin.

As-salamu alaykum brother very wise words we are always seeking instant gratification and not concentrating on ourselves.
Everyone who hasn’t been to Saudi Arabia or known any Saudi had some shit to say about them, but that totally changes after they do visit the country or meet a Saudi!
This one needed to be longer! But it was good maa shaa Allaah
yes
It is our duty dear brother you owe us nothing just hold on to the path of truth and we might meet in the next life
السلام عليكم
يا ليتكم فعلتم ذلك مع كل المسلمين و كل الوافدين!؟
My dream is to live in Madinah insha Allah. Please make dua for me. Thank you. I love ❤️ the people of Madinah and Makkah.
May allah Make it easy for you to live in Medina ameen
