Causes of Security and Unity in the Kingdom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask your permission, our dear Shaykh, to read these questions that have reached us from our brother and sister listeners. This questioner says: Allah has bestowed upon us blessings that require us to give thanks and praise. Among the greatest of these blessings is the blessing of security and safety in this country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which, by the grace and mercy of Allah the Exalted, is distinguished by the unity of its word, the unity of its ranks, and its cohesion with its rulers. So tell us, may Allah bless you, the causes of this favor from Allah the Mighty and Majestic.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, all praise is due to Allah, and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. The Saudi state has been gathered with great virtues, which Allah the Exalted and Sublime enabled it with, secured it, and opened for it the doors of sustenance. Among these is that it was established upon this blessed call.
The call of Imam Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab calls to Allah, to His oneness, to worshipping Him, and to rejecting shirk (associating partners with Allah) and its causes. It teaches Muslims the sound, pure, and clear creed of the righteous Salaf, from the Companions and the Tabi'un, and those who followed them in excellence. It also rules by the Shari'ah in its courts and in judging between people, and that is a distinction unique to it in this time. Also, praise be to Allah, it serves the two Holy Mosques and enables pilgrims, those performing 'Umrah, and visitors to the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform their worship in safety and stability. They come in safety, perform their rites in safety, and return to their countries in safety. These are great virtues that Allah has gathered for this blessed state because it was established upon the correct creed, because it rules by the law of Allah the Exalted and Sublime, and because it serves the two Holy Mosques. We ask Allah the Glorious and Exalted to complete His blessing upon it. And Allah the Exalted and Sublime said:[Al-Hajj 22:40-41] And there is no doubt that the unity of the word means security and stability. If the word were divided, there would be no security in it and no stability, and consequently, it would not attain these great virtues that it enjoys.
Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Qasas 28:57] He said in the other verse: [Al-'Ankabut 29:67] And this state was established upon the call of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he said: [Ibrahim 14:35] And in the other verse: [Al-Baqarah 2:126] So these blessings in which we are immersed and by which we live are among the blessings of the call of al-Khalil (peace be upon him). Yes.

And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. (41) [And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakah and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] matters.
وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ الَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِAllah the Exalted said:
Have we not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.
أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا آمِنًا يُجْبَىٰ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَاتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَHave they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while people are being taken away all around them?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا آمِنًا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْMy Lord, make this city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.
رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنًا وَاجْنُبْنِي وَبَنِيَّ أَن نَّعْبُدَ الْأَصْنَامَMy Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day.
رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا بَلَدًا آمِنًا وَارْزُقْ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُم بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِThe presenter:
