Anti-Shi’ism has different forms in Saudi Arabia. This government has destroyed Shia mosques, detained Shia Muslims, closed private schools and now is trying to prevent Shia from remembrance of significant religious events in their long history.
The most recent example of this, is the government covering part of the Ka’ba that is called Rukn Yamani. Shia believe that the right corner of the Ka’ba was opened in a mysterious way more than 1400 years ago. The pregnant mother of the first Shia Muslims’ Imam, Imam Ali, entered the Ka’ba and delivered her baby inside it. Imam Ali is the only baby who was born inside the Ka’ba. This mysterious opening of the house of Ka’ba is a very well-known miracle amongst all Muslims. Every year millions of Muslims, Shia and Sunni, visit this site and remember the miracle.
As the annual birthday of Imam Ali is approaching on May 24th, the Anti-Shia government of Saudi Arabia is showing its aim to censor any history related to the Shia Imams.
RW invites the Wahabbi government of Saudi Arabia to respect all humans and protect historical sites as they belong to all humanity.
