Question

From the perspective of the Shariah, Saudi Arabia has slided into total chaos and anarchy. It is  quite obvious that the current ruler(MBS) has introduced  such laws and has made such changes which are in total violation of the Qur’aan and Sunnah. The avalanche of  western immorality has completely overhauled  the  original strict Islamic lifestyle of the Saudis. Can we say  that MBS is  still a Muslim?

Answer

Regarding this chap (MBS) being a Muslim, there can be no  genuine Muslim  who  will ever accept him to be a Muslim. It  is clearer than daylight that he is a confirmed kaafir – an agent of Iblees and the West to  dismantle and destroy Islam while still retaining the name ‘Islam’. However, the nefarious plot to destroy Islam is not limited to the MBS character. He is merely the representative  of the Saudi populace.  The people of Saudi Arabia have long ago  alienated themselves  from Islam.  They have a satanic aversion  for the Shariah, hence  Allah Ta’ala has  granted them a ruler who has opened the way  for  the people to give full expression  to their fisq, fujoor and kufr. 

This is the Sunnah of Allah Azza Wa Jal which precedes the   aam (universal) Athaab (Punishment) decreed for such transgressors for whom Allah Ta’ala  does not will redemption. Stating this Sunnah, the Qur’aan Majeed  says:

   “When We intend to destroy (the people) of a qaryah (town/city), We command its affluent ones (to proceed recklessly with their evil). Then they (recklessly) indulge in fisq in the qaryah. Then the decree (of Athaab) is confirmed  for (the people) of the town/city. Thus, do We  then utterly annihilate them.”

(Bani Israaeel, Aayat 16)

What is transpiring  currently in Arabia where the Najdi Kaafir (MBS) is ruling, is the prelude to the Athaab of Allah Azza Wa Jal. It should be understood that the problem is not MBS. He is merely the mirror reflection  of the Saudi people. This has been categorically confirmed by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) who said:  “Your deeds are your rulers.” That is: Allah Ta’ala  imposes on a nation a ruler/government/king  according to their deeds/misdeeds. It is for this reason that the Hadith  orders that we should not revile the rulers.

On the contrary, we  should  do soul-searching, revile ourselves, repent and turn unto Allah Ta’ala with obedience. Then Allah Ta’ala will either change the hearts of the rulers or substitute the  tyrants with benevolent rulers.
