Al-e-Saud established their governance in Harmain Al-Sharifain 89 years ago and different areas of Harmain Al-Sharifain, which were recognized having identity of different tribes and regions came into being as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Shah Abdul Aziz being head of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia despite confronting economic challenges announced for implementation of ‘Hudood Ullah’. As a result blessings of Allah Almighty poured at Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and petroleum explorations start in abundance in the Kingdom along with exploration of other precious minerals and metals. With blessings of Allah Almighty, if any state in the world has served humanity more than any country of the world, it is Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which served humanity to a larger extent since its inception in 1930. Since last 89 years, leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia made it their objective and mission to serve the Muslims and Islam on priority and Al-e-Saud pursuing this mission since the very first day of their governance in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During last one year, as per report of United Nations (UN) Saudi Arabia remained on first slot for initiating different welfare projects for humanity. Leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always opened its doors to serve the Muslims and in every thick and thin, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia remains on forefront to serve the Muslim countries in face of any crisis, calamity and challenge. Saudi Arabia always played a role of elder brother for all the Muslim countries and served them wholeheartedly with all available support. Saudi Arabia remains vigilant to serve oppressed Muslims either from Myanmar, Kashmir, Palestine, Bosnia and Chechnya with all available resources.

At a time, when Muslims in Russian Republics have very limited numbers of Quran and there were no arrangements in newly republics of Russia to translate Quran in their native languages. Amidst that scenario, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s head Shah Fahad bin Abdul Aziz constituted Quran-Complex in Medina, which started publications of Quran in different languages of the world. The publication of Quran in different languages of the world is still continued from the very Quran-Complex. Muslims all over the world are getting benefits to read Quran in their native languages with translated versions. Shah Fahad Quran Complex since its inception has been contributing Muslims all over the world by providing facility to read Quran with translation in their native languages, which has become a permanent source of piety for departed soul of Shah Fahad bin Abdul Aziz.

In the same perspective, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been serving the devotees and pilgrims of Hajj & Umrah to their best. During last couple of years, the strength of visiting pilgrims to Saudi Arabia has increased manifold, but leadership of Saudi Arabia is committed to serve the pilgrims with best available services. The leadership of Harmain Al-Sharifain has been ensuring state of the art facilities for pilgrims of Hajj & Umrah across the year. Extension of the limits of Harmain Al-Sharifain is one of major achievements of Al-e-Saud and this sequel is still in progress since last one hundred years according to the rising numbers of pilgrims.

As per information of this scribe, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Amir Muhammad bin Salman has ordered to ensure completion of the extension projects of Harmain Al-Sharifain on priority grounds. Saudi Crown Prince Amir Muhammad bin Salman is personally overseeing all the projects relating to facilitate the pilgrims.

During Hajj days, all the arrangements are being arranged by Saudi Interior Minister Amir Abdul Aziz bin Saud bin Nayef in supervision of Saudi Crown Prince Amir Muhammad bin Salman. It is also worth mentioning here that during stay of pilgrims at Mana during Hajj days, Khadim-e-Harmain Al-Sharifain Shah Salman bin Abdul Aziz also resides in Mana to look after the arrangements for pilgrims. Few years back, pilgrims and devotees use to complain about traffic mess and cold drinking water in ‘Mana’ but now, an effective systematic apparatus has been arranged with subsequent traffic flow arrangements.

As Saudi Arabia is recognized being center of the holy places of Muslims, therefore scores of enmities use to surface and different conspiracies were also reported during different eras to make anarchy and instability in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To contain such conspiring elements and conspiracies, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia always proved stable and steadfast to foil all such conspiracies. The Kingdom always ensures necessary measures for its security and defense to keep check and contain all the conspiracies and conspiring elements. With each passing day, Saudi youths getting emotionally attached with defense, security and sanctity of the holy places in the Kingdom. Elements who were aiming to make anarchy and instability in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by imposing war at the Kingdom through Houthi rebels of Yemen foiled miserably as Law Enforcement Agencies and security institutions of Saudi Arabia foiled the attacks and conspiracies of all these elements.

Today’s Saudi Arabia in the leadership of Khadim-e-Harmain Al-Sharifain Shah Salman bin Abdul Aziz and Crown Prince Amir Muhammad bin Salman is changing towards stability; however no one should get mire and develop any misunderstanding and misconceived.

Saudi Arabia was founded on the founding principles of Islam and this Kingdom, which came into being on the teachings of Quran-o-Sunnah can not deviate from its founding principles. During all this course of time, if any step or stance is reported against the basic teachings of Quran-o-Sunnah, steps should be taken for its necessary correction and guidance. With blessings of Almighty Allah, incumbent leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has put forward the moderate message of Islam before the world and made it explicit that Islam and teachings of Islam and Quran-o-Sunnah, has nothing to do with the menace of extremism and terrorism.

A misleading poisonous propaganda and campaigning is being made against the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia nowadays. Anti-Islamic forces are of the view that to make anarchy and instability in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, conspiracies should be fanned to make mistrust within Muslim Ummah for leadership of Harmain Al-Sharifain, which is impossible. The incumbent leadership of Saudi Arabia has annulled this conception that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not limited to any specific individual, group or organization’s thinking and mindset. Khadim-e-Harmain Al-Sharifain Shah Salman bin Abdul Aziz once talking to this scribe has commented that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia belongs to every Muslim as Islam belongs to every Muslim irrespective of his region and country. This rhetoric has become torchbearer for leadership of Saudi Arabia and for the entire Muslim Ummah.

Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Amir Muhammad bin Salman in numbers of his interviews has also stated that followers of ‘Aima Arba’ah are present in Saudi Arabia; therefore Kingdom of Saudi Arabia cannot be limited to any particular religion and religious sect. On the other side, oil facilities in Saudi Arabia are being targeted, which has caused economic challenges for the entire region. On recent drone strikes at oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, leadership of Saudi Arabia has commented that necessary action will be taken against the perpetrators after thorough investigations. The leadership of Saudi Arabia has made a right decision for not taking any action in haste.

In this perspective, responsibility also rests on Iranian leadership to make clarity of stance to absolve the region from any possible crisis. The elements, which are responsible for making drone strikes at oil facilities in Saudi Arabia aims at sabotaging world peace and economic stability of the region.

In connection of Palestine issue, leadership of Saudi Arabia has put forward an explicit stance that any solution for Palestine will not be accepted without consent of Palestinians. Similarly, Saudi leadership has stated that Kashmir issue should be settled in accordance of the resolutions of UNO. Human rights situation for Kashmiris should be restored. Blockade of Kashmir should come to an end and Kashmir issue should be settled with peaceful talks and negotiations in accordance of the UN resolutions. Saudi leadership has also signaled to support for his effective role to resolve Kashmir issue for peaceful talks. The alarming state of affairs is that we are not even ready to acknowledge out mistakes and use to criticize friendly states.

Friendship of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is eternal and no one could spoil the brotherly relations of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Incumbent Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf Saeed bin Al-Maliky is real representative of Saudi Arabia to Pakistan and vise-versa Pakistan’s Ambassador to Pakistan. Affection and respect of Saudi King Shah Salman bin Abdul Aziz and Crown Prince Amir Muhammad bin Salman for Pakistan is beyond any doubt.

Few years back, when some misunderstanding was reported between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia’s King Shah Salman bin Abdul Aziz gave this message to the entire world that if ruling leadership of Pakistan has committed any mistake, it does not mean that Saudi Arabia will distance itself from its friend and brotherly Muslim country. With grace and blessings of Allah Almighty and continued efforts of Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa Pakistan’s relations with Arab countries specifically with Saudi Arabia are more stable and strengthened compare to last 10 years. It is also responsibility of the ruling government to play their role and efforts for strengthened brotherly relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia keeping aside all interests and reconciliations. Since inception of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia is the sole country in the world, which stood beside Pakistan in face of any crisis. Saudi Arabia always responds positively on call of Pakistan and supported Pakistan in face of any challenge.

Amidst prevailing scenario in Muslim world, conspiracies are being made to sabotage Muslim Ummah’s unity and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan with bilateral unity should foil all these conspiring elements. Saudi Arabia being custodian of Harmain Al-Sharifain is center of Muslim unity and unity of Muslim Ummah is direly needed to resolve confronting challenges of Muslim world as all the outstanding challenges of Muslim Ummah pertaining to Kashmir and Palestine could be settled with unity of Muslim Ummah.
