The pictures and videos coming from Saudi Arabia that recently have gone viral on social media are not sequences from a horror film, but scenes from Halloween celebrations in Saudi Arabia.
The Halloween celebration held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, has been embroiled in many controversies and criticism. Religious activists and scholars see the Halloween celebration in the country as anti-Shariat and an attempt by Saudi rulers to break the country’s religious-conservative traditions after bin Salman came to power.
Thousands of Muslims around the world have condemned the event. They believe that what is happening in this country is an imitation of the West and has nothing to do with Islam in any way. Especially when the country is considered an important center for Muslims due to the holy sites like Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
One of the outcomes of Halloween in Saudi Arabia is that a woman was molested during the ceremony, indicating malicious intentions behind the celebration.
Criticism of Celebrations of Halloween in Saudi Arabia!
Arabs and Muslims around the world have reacted widely to the celebration of Halloween in the capital of Saudi Arabia. Muslims have expressed surprise and anger at the authorities in this country for allowing Halloween celebrations and banning Prophet Muhammad’s birthday celebration (Miladunnabi) as haram and forbidden.
Some critics have expressed concern about future events, seeing the horrific celebration as the beginning of the neglect of Islam.
A sensational report on secret relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel
The country has stunned the world with new developments every now and then since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman came to power. The changes being brought by the Saudi Crown Prince in the country are not only against the religion of Islam but also against the teachings of Wahhabiyat. Any government that claims to be Muslim can’t justify allowing Halloween and making Prophet Muhammad’s birthday celebration (Miladunnabi) haram, and the general public knows it’s not only against Islam, but it is also against Saudi Arabia’s old culture.
Looking at what has happened in Saudi Arabia so far and what will happen in the future, will anyone be able to praise bin Salman’s reforms? And can anyone proudly say that this is the country where there is a “government of Allah and Shari’ah”?
