The images of Saudi Arabia are by now familiar—The Kaabah, Veiled women, Robed Princes, Mosques and Minarets as well as the Vast Arabian desert. But what lies behind those snapshots is the heartland of Islam, the place where almost 14 centuries ago, Prophet Muhammad PBUH was proclaimed to be God’s final prophet; a place where today visitors are regularly reminded that the Qur’an and Islamic Sunna (tradition) are the foundations of Saudi society....AL QURAN wa SUNNAH. But it is changing....
The very basis for the monarchy of the House of Saud stems from its long-standing alliance with Sunni religious authorities. Life is built around the ritual call to prayer five times a day, during which shops close and television programs are interrupted with still photos of a mosque.
As site of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia holds special status in the Muslim world. Part of the country’s oil wealth supports the propagation of Islam worldwide.
Saudi Arabia is considered the Epicentre of Islam by Muslims all over the world and are looked as the last resort in terms of the expansion and continuation of Islam in the world. Many Countries feel Saudi Arabia is not doing enough to connect with Muslim Countries apart from Hajj and Umrah. Muslims share lots of history with each other and this can help them more.
But that is changing. It has been passing a period of "slow Steaming' described here https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/481648-saudi-arabias-slow-steaming-changes-to-islam-may-just-work/
Have you ever heard about “Slow steaming”. It is happening in Saudi Arabia. “Slow steaming” is a concept by which container ships operate at lower speeds to minimize wear and tear on engines, save fuel, reduce emissions and otherwise improve efficiency. This concept proves that, sometimes, slower can be better than faster. For those who are observing events in the Muslim world, with an eye toward recognizing positives rather than negatives, the concept of slow steaming is being used by Saudi Arabia as it seeks to administer a course change for Islam to gradually bring stability to the Middle East region.
For Example, The Society was being inculcated to become 'Modern' in the eyes of Western Countries from their normal Bedouin state since the advance of oil Industries of the 1930s-1960s. Their Children are taken to European and American schools on the pretext that, they will get good education - inculcating 'standards' to them. The children of the Kings and other richer Arabs started following the trend and majority were taken to Sandhurst Military schools and other educational institutions - to redefine future SAUDI ARABIA and entire Islamic Epicentre.
An Example is given where, MBC Television - a 24 hour satelitte TV station owned and operated by a Saudi Billionaire that chunks out a 24-hour non-stop stream of Hollywood movies, from blockbusters to classics and international films. This channel is said to be censored but it is not censored that much - to the level of Saudi Islamic Culture - Do not show Free Sex, Disrespect, Blasphemy, violence and pornography, including deep kiss, fetishism, eroticas, and nudity—all forms 'supposedly' have been cut. it infact that is not the case- It shows European and American Culture to Saudi Families and especially at home where Mamas and their Kids are. Saudis Need to maintain their culture and responsibilities of the Islamic empire. The Immorality happening in European and American Cultures where issues like LGBT, Free Sex and Disrespect to Parents are treated as 'SHAAHID' Films feed directly from Hollywood and shown to Arab Families....Might destroy Saudi Arabia if it doesn't handle it properly.
And Now Messi as the Saudi Ambasaador of Tourism in the hope that, Tourism will bring money to Saudi Arabia. What if SATANISTS, DEVIL WORSHIPPERS, GAYTHEISTS, NUDISTS come in droves in the name of Tourism.....????
