WALID SHOEBAT: THE ABEDIN “AFFAIRS” WITH AL SAUD…PLEASE SEE NOTE AND READ *****
http://www.shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Abedin_Affairs_with_Al_Saud_081312.pdf
This document contains Walid’s extensive translations and analysis of original Arabic sources. He explains how the Abedin’s IMMA (Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs) has links beyond the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda directly to the Wahhabist House of Saud. Walid shows how the IMMA/Wahhabists have seized control of our government. It should be NO surprise that Obama bowed to Saudi King Abdullah. Thanks Janet L…..
I thought I had it all fgured out [here], that Huma Abedin and her family, for years, were
only working for Muslim Brotherhood interests. After all, I spent a week re-sifting through
scores of Arabic sources, which confrmed that Huma’s mother Saleha was not simply a
member, but a leader in Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood’s Sisterhood branch. The Abedins
were for decades affliated with an al-Qaeda fnancier named Abdullah Omar Naseef,
who had appointed the Abedins to start the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA),
not that working with this man was not problematic enough, but still, who was behind
Naseef and what were the goals of this IMMA establishment?
Other issues just weren’t adding up; these fsh were looking larger by the day –
much larger than I had previously thought. I watched politicians who sided with Huma,
none of whom spent a nickel trying to refute McCarthy’s court-style presentation [here];
they responded with familiar one-line rebuttals that lacked the acknowledgment of facts.
There is also something terribly wrong when fve members of congress are being muzzled
as ordained by the highest powers in both that establishment and in the State
Department. Newt Gingrich and a few other patriots had the common sense to fnally
come out of the closet, but not without ridicule.
Was Huma a big fsh to have the might of some American politicians come to her
defense or is there some other player in the mix that the American people are not aware
of ? Even President Barack Obama felt it necessary to pay tribute and voice strong
support for Huma Abedin during a Muslim Iftar dinner on August 10th, saying that the
top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been “nothing less than extraordinary
in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear.”
Just who are all of these elite and powerful bowing to? The only powerful man
that a United States president would bow to was when Obama bowed to the King of
Saudi Arabia treating him as if he was the King of Kings. Could it be possible that this
far-away place holds the power to make the kings of the earth bow?
I began to research further. My fndings all started as I was researching Huma’s
father, “Sayed Zaynul Abedin” in Arabic, looking for further clues, hoping that I could
fnd something. Then suddenly there it was, an unbelievable document commissioned by
the late King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz [here] and [here], detailing the years of
accomplishments by the kings of Al-Saud.
I couldn’t believe my eyes! As I read, the king’s book gave me all the answers to all
the clues I have been looking for. The more I read the Arabic squiggles, the more quickly
I realized that my older discoveries were perhaps the lesser of the two evils—an appetizer
—in comparison to what is in this manuscript. It began to connect the dots between the
Abedins’ Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs—on whose Board Huma Abedin served for
years—and the Wahhabist plans of Saudi Arabia, commissioned by the House of Saud.
This book had the king’s blessings and approval on literally every page. I perused,
beginning with the long, grandiose and fanciful title: “The Efforts of the Servant of the Two
Holy Places, King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz to Support The Muslim Minorities”. The king presents
himself as the “Servant of the Two Holy Places” (Mecca and Medina) where multitudes
fock, great and small, rich and poor, to pay tribute while they circumambulate, giving
their allegiance to the call of Allah.
The House of Saud had another holy “affair” besides multitudes
circumambulating around the Ka’ba; everything in this holy writ was revolving around
“The Muslim Minority Affairs” as it was the key to another kingdom, in which the
Abedins played a central role. The House of Saud had used Huma’s father Sayed Zaynul
Abedin’s work Muslim Minorities in the West published in 1998 as part of 29 works to
construct a plan to conquer the world with Islam (#11. P. 134) and “The Muslim
Minority Affairs” in the west was a major discussion with the United States mentioned
throughout. The king of his pride had let out state secrets like others did with Wikileaks. I
realized quickly that I was on a mission and thanks to American technology (the Internet),
I was reaching all the way into the dirty plans of the servants of Mecca and Medina, to
reveal even more unknowns about the mysterious Abedins.
I grabbed my miniature camera and quickly took snapshots so I could later
translate this grand plan entitled, Shu-un al-Aqaliyyat al-Muslima. In English, “The Muslim
Minority Affairs”. Page after page explained the “Affairs”, not simply as a title, or as a
religious or even a social entity, but as a Saudi foreign policy, a jurisprudence and
commandment from the highest of authorities commissioned to the Saudi Ministry of
Religious Affairs. It was an entire management system using “The Muslim Minority
Affairs” as the main vehicle to bringing victory against an infdel world.
It spoke of recruiting Muslims that live in non-Muslim lands and transforming
them as a collective unit. It spoke of already established centers, educational programs,
mosques and organizations in the United States like ISNA and MSA, all geared towards
hindering any western plan for Muslim assimilation in a non-Muslim host nation. It
mentioned “The Muslim Society of North America (ISNA) and the Muslim Students
Association (MSA) established in the United States in 1962” (p. 65), as key agents to
protect Muslims from assimilation.
It named the mosques and centers in major United States cities established to
carry out the mission. Five decades of efforts were spent with billions to ensure that
Muslims will be an unassimilated group which then can infuence the non-Muslim host
nation and other nations, regardless of how small the numbers of Muslims, by shifting the
demographic scale due to their population growth in favor of this Saudi agenda.
It explained how a gradual change would ensue by becoming a major
revolutionary powerhouse that will tilt the host nation in favor of Muslims due to their
increase as a population. It was a conundrum to transform a nation from within, where a
Minority population can act as a ffth column, incubating in the host nation with the
intent of gradually implementing the Wahhabist plans.
It was as if I was watching a science program on how a cell is invaded by a virus,
where it gradually does its thing until the host cell fnally succumbs to the disease.
(Title: The Efforts of the Servant of the Two
Holy Places King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz in
Support of Muslim Minorities)
My gift is that I can provide, from the Arabic sources, things that my ex-enemy (the
average American) is not expected to review, regarding things considered taboo, not to be
discussed or translated. This taboo now seems to have migrated from Mecca where, if
exposed, would force the American media to ridicule such a mission.
I felt as if destined to provide the insight of a defector who switched sides. That is
what I do; I am, after all, a surfng watchman on the wall. But sounding the horn with my
discoveries would put me under the lens of many unmerciful western critics who dismiss
detailed facts with a strike of a comment—dismissal that is void of any detail.
I knew that I needed to quickly take more snapshots and translate some of this
toxin to show this is no bluff. We are unequivocally talking about a grand conspiracy that
is no manufactured theory.
Yet, I realized people still needed to know now, not that I expect them to believe (I
predict many won’t) but so that history some day records it; the watchman sounded the
horn and the blood of the saints is not on his hands.
There was another document I had discovered which I included in my previous
report (see Exhibit below), an offcial detailed testimony which I translated. It discusses
how in 1965, during the Hajj (Pilgrimage), that the parent organization for the Abedins’
IMMA – WAMY – was born. WAMY stands for World Association of Muslim Youth, which
came about when Muslim leaders, scholars, movers and shakers from the farthest corners
of the globe focked to Mecca to create it and launch it worldwide.
Dr. Salih Mahdi al-Samarrai (literally Samurai) came all the way from the orient
to answer the call representing the Islamic Center of Japan. He explained how WAMY
was envisioned. It was created through the collaboration of the Wahhabist and Muslim
Brotherhood lead by Said Ramadan who was the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the
founder of the Muslim Brotherhood including Ahmad Bahefzallah, the Abedin’s
immediate boss, and fnanciers like the wealthy Abdullah Omar Naseef.
IMMA’s founders were the same as WAMY’s. IMMA, which the Abedins ran in
the West, and while being commissioned by the evil kingdom of Al Saud, was also
conceived in the same place in the early seventies. Sayed Zaynul Abedin would nurture it
under the designed hierarchy and watchful eye of the Saudi government as they
appointed Ahmad Bahafzallah of WAMY with Naseef as the godfather of the operation.
To ensure that my critics cannot fnd any gap to insert their sharp edged critical
pen, I decided to research the history of IMMA to show how it connects to the House of
Saud’s evil plan with evidence as clear as the sun. The critics would argue that “the glove
did not ft, you must acquit”. Yet, the Saudi Manifesto had all the fngerprints I needed:
“It [Muslim Minority Affairs] will work under the umbrella of the Muslim World
League (MWL) and the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) and
World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY) and others” (P. 6, also see P. 23)
“The Muslim Minority Affairs” was designed as a global plan. The Abedins’ Institute of
Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) is its western branch and a perfect ft. The Arabic
Dictionary on Media Icons by Zarkali shows IMMA’s exact hierarchy, supervisors and
parent organizations being exactly what was in the Saudi manifesto:
“Sayed Z. Abedin is a specialist on Muslim Minority Affairs issues… In the early
1970’s, Sayed Z. Abedin went to Saudi Arabia for one year as a visiting professor.
He was welcomed by King Abdulaziz University, which provided him the means
to create a scholarly program regarding Muslim Minorities. Dr. Abdullah Omar
Naseef, the Dean of King Abdulaziz University then envisioned the creation of
an academic entity called the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA),
under the management of Ahmad Bahafzallah, who was the General Trustee for
the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY). Professor Sayed Z. Abedin was
encouraged to supervise the Muslim Minority Affairs and served as IMMA’s
chief editor.” (Al-I’lam by Zarkali, is an encyclopedia on major fgures in the
Arabic-Muslim Media, P.p. 218)
Everything ft, like a glove. Abdullah Ghazi, a graduate of Harvard University in
Comparative Religion, provides additional testimony as he reminisces about how he met
the Abedins:
“Later we shifted to Gary in Indiana State, 40 kms from Chicago. In 1976, I met Rabita
(MWL) chief Dr. Abdullah Omar Naseef and Dr. Zainul Abedin of Institute for Muslim
Minority Affairs. They encouraged me to take up this venture. The frst book to come out
was Our Prophet, an assignment from King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah at Dr.
Naseef ’s behest…”
So let’s delve into the idea of “The Muslim Minority Affairs” and hear it right from the
horse’s mouth. Weeding through the frst chapter, replete with hyperbole about the king’s
self-glorifcation, I skipped the hogwash to chapter II. King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz wrote as
he began to jot the frst statements. Here the Saudi manifesto introduces the whole of
mankind’s destiny, including the demonic world all of which will some day become
Muslim:
“The religion [Islam] was destined to rule both races of the globe, mankind and
demons.”
First, some Arabic, then some translation…
CHAPTER II
THE MUSLIM MINORITIES IN THE WORLD
Study Number One
The Concept of Muslim Minority and its History
Islam is the religion of the whole world; sent by Allah through Muhammad to both
races, the Jinn (demons) and Ins (mankind). It is a religion for all humanity as
commanded by the Holy Quran and the Prophet’s correct path. This promise was
confrmed since Islam did spread throughout the earth and multitudes streamed to it.
(Chapter II, “The Muslim Minority in the
World: Understanding The Purpose of Muslim
Minority” p.27)
It details how the Kingdom through the Muslim Minority Affairs will catapult Islam’s
destiny by shifting the demographic scale to favor Muslims.
“The Muslim societies in all continents of the world exist in either ‘Muslim
nation’ or ‘Muslim Minorities’. The assessment to determine what constitutes
‘state’ from a ‘minority state’ is done based on a number of measures. First, the
numbers scale, which is, if a nation has Muslims who exceed half the
population and its Constitution states that Islam is its offcial religion or that
Islamic Sharia is its source of law, this state is then considered an Islamic state.”
(P.p.29) “Since the number of Muslims has risen greatly in the last years where
they became 1.3 billion Muslims. From these we have (900) million already in
Muslim nations. The 400 million live as communities and as Muslim Minority”
(p. 31) “… In Africa resides (250) million Muslims and in Europe resides (60)
million Muslims and in North America and South America resides (10) million
Muslims. So, according to these statistics it is expected that the number of
Muslims will reach 2.6 billion six hundred thousand within a short span of
time. The Muslims then will become a mighty and effective power in the world,
of course, due to the increase in their numbers—then shift the demographic
balance in their favor.” (p.32).
The manifesto maps out, with statistics and demographic analysis, every nation on the
face of the globe where Muslim minorities exist. Regardless how small the numbers, these
are expected to advance the Wahhabist plans set by the popular revivalist movement
instigated by an eighteenth century theologian, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–
1792) from Najd, Saudi Arabia.
“Allah destined this region [Saudi Arabia] for an historic roll. So He
commissioned the two Imams—Muhammad bin Saud and Muhammad bin
Abdul Wahhab, may Allah have mercy upon them. But the times have passed on
Imam Muhammad bin Saud by the emergence of the reformer—Muhammad
bin Abdul Wahhab. So the two Imams cooperated together to judge by what
Allah brought forth, to fght against heresy and to bring Muslims back to puritan
Islam.” (p. 8)
“The Muslim Minority Affairs” program – according to the manifesto – can arrange
“Muslim Minority activism” to advance the goal through the building of mosques,
schools and Islamic centers where minorities exist (pp. 8-13, 17) in order to “establish a
global Sharia in our modern times.” (p. 9-10) The measure also aims to “prevent the
‘hurdle’ Muslims encounter from ‘assimilation and melting’ in non-Muslim societies”. (p.
24)
The horror began as I reviewed the United States and Canada, where it shifts
sounding more like an Arab version of Mein Kampf to describe the major hurdle not
mentioned under any other continent—The Jews.
“The greatest challenge that faces Muslims in the United
States and Canada are the Jews who take advantage of their
material ability and their media to distort the image of Islam
and Muslims there by spreading their lies and distortions in
the minds of the people in these countries. The Jews employ
their efforts and direct their material wealth and their high
positions to serve Zionist interests in the Arab region. They
[the Jews] take advantage of situations to distort the image of
Arabs and Muslims. The Zionist organizations spend
enormous efforts to obstruct the spread of Islam in these
areas.” (P. 79-80)
Yet I wonder, what will my critics say? Will my critics doubt Mein Kampf or that six
million Jews were incinerated as a result? Will they deny that 19 Saudis instantly
converted the World Trade Center into two furnaces, incinerating 3000 Americans, alive?
That wasn’t enough to bring the wealthy infuential perpetrators to justice. They
are still on the loose while politicians who seek buckets of oil remain plagued with
collective silence.
The Muslim Minority Affairs idea is not isolated to the Abedins or even to the
Saudis; Salafsts and Muslim Brotherhood support the same concept, even link to each
other using what they term: “the Jurisprudence of Muslim Minority Affairs.”
In other words, IMMA is not simply a name of an establishment; it represents a
defnition, a jurisprudence rooted in a sinister doctrine with short and long-term goals.
Qaradawi has a similar manifesto for the Brotherhood. Muslim Minority Affairs
scholars across the board have an obsession using this jurisprudence steering Muslims into
this theocratic collective revolution.
Even Europe’s Abdul-Majid al-Najjar, Assistant Secretary-General of the
European Council for Fatwa and Research who works on bettering Muslim relations with
the West, in Arabic, he adheres to the same concept:
“It was ordained that Islam was assigned the mission to inherit the globe. It is a mission
possible through only the collective religious performance and mission impossible through
individual religiosity.”
An IMMA favorite, Taha Jaber al-Alwani, whom the Abedins say is the source for their
doctrine is an ardent anti-Semite who by the way, runs the United States Department of
Defense program (out of all places) for training Muslim military chaplains in the U.S.
military. This is the frst time we translated some of his quotes on the issue of The Muslim
Minority Affairs:
“… it [MMA] is a Jurisprudence for a group confned to its special circumstances which is
allowed what others are not. Its exercise needs an understanding of social sciences,
especially sociology, economics, political science and international relations… for the
fundamentals of success for the Muslim Minority Jurisprudence it must adhere to the
collective earth concept.” [here]
Alwani, a man commissioned by our government, even calls for a soon-to-be military
conquest and provides an offcial fatwa in preparation for the use of force:
“Commitment to the Quranic concept of Geography: The land belongs to Allah, his
religion is Islam, and every country is already in the House of Islam—now in the present
time—since they will be in the House of Islam by force in the near future. The whole of
humanity is a Muslim Nation: it is either ‘the religion of the nation’ which has embraced
this religion [Islam], or a ‘proselyte nation’ we are obliged to conquer.” (Alwani, The
Jurisprudence of Muslim Minority Affairs. No. 7)
Alwani speaks of a future, literal war and is perhaps himself a reason why we see people
like Nidal Malik Hassan attacking military personnel. He probably snapped and just
couldn’t wait for Alwani’s grand fnale.
It’s on all levels, military and civil. In America, even the Director of the Islamic
Center of Lubbock Texas Mohammed bin Mukhtar Shanqeeti agrees:
“The Muslim Minority Jurisprudence is not a heresy or a novel, it’s an ancient doctrine
flled with the provisions for Muslims living in Dar al-Kufr (House of the Heathen) or Dar
Al-Harb (House of War).” [link here]
Even the Abedins’ Journal for Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA ) confrm s that their
program stems from these same extremist sources:
“The theory of the Jurisprudence of Muslim Minorities is most easily clarifed by
shedding light on its founders” which the notes state are none other than Muslim
Brotherhood “Yusuf al-Qaradawi” and “Taha Jabir al-Alwani”.
In a nutshell, The Muslim Minority Affairs program is part of a grand plan to destroy
America from within, exactly as what the Muslim Brotherhood planned, which was
exposed in the HLF trial.
It will probably take years before Americans completely understand why, when it
comes to The Muslim Minority Affairs, these are “allowed what others are not” as the
Abedin’s favorite al-Alwani says. Shanqeeti says that The Muslim Minority Affairs “has
provisions for Muslims living in Dar al-Kufr…” What allowances and what provisions?
The Muslim Minority Affairs plan actually combines two Islamic Jurisprudences:
The Minority Affairs Jurisprudence and the Jurisprudence of Muruna (Flexibility).
Muruna is the “process of permitting evils”, specifcally for Muslim Minorities by
“sanctioning prohibitions for the sake of an interest” [here] [here]. This jurisprudence, as
mad as it sounds, permits “reversing Sharia rulings” in order to “gain interests”. Imagine
what “sanctioning prohibitions” means. If it says, “thou shall not kill” now it’s “thou can
kill” for an “interest”.
Qaradawi even permits the “killing of Muslims whom the unbelievers use as
shields” in times of war, since “leaving these unbelievers is a danger to the Muslims, so it
is permissible to kill these unbelievers even if they killed Muslims with them in the
process.” [here, p.94] He adds:
“Sharia’s ability to be fexible and inclusive is that it cares for their needs while
excusing the burdens Muslims have to endure. For the sake of their destiny, it was
made lawful for them to have exceptions from the law that are appropriate for them
since these exceptions match their general goals to make it easy for humanity by
removing the chains of [Sharia] rules they were made to adhere to in previous Sharia
rulings.”
By reversing Islamic law, Muruna concludes an amazing doctrine that sanctions all
prohibitions:
“When evil and harm confict as necessities demand, we must then choose the least of
the two evils or harms. This is what the experts in jurisprudence decided … if
interests and harms/evils confict, or benefts confict with evils, what is then to be
decided is to review each beneft and each harm and its consequences, so the minor
evils are forgiven for the sake of the greater long-term beneft. The evil is also
accepted even if that evil is extreme and normally considered deplorable.”
So the ruling on marriage with non-Muslims as we have with Huma and Anthony Weiner
is a minor evil, which now becomes sanctioned even if Sharia prohibits it. While the
media argues that Huma marrying a Jew is evidence of her assimilation, in actuality it is
more the reason for suspicion, especially since her mother is a Muslim Brotherhood
leader who never denounced the marriage. That with Huma’s years of service as part of
a Wahhabi scheme provides more concerns.
Besides much evidence reported on the Abedin’s boss Abdullah Omar Naseef
contributions for al-Qaeda, we have the WTC vs. Al Baraka, et. al. (see 384-386), It
mentions Naseef, who arranged to meet Osama bin Laden and launch what seems like a
major attack, right from one of Naseef ’s Muslim World League (MWL) offces:
“…a Memo on IIRO [International Islamic Relief Organization] / MWL letterhead
detailed a meeting between Abu Abdallah (Osama bin Laden) , Dr. Abdullah Omar
Naseef, Sheik Abdel Majeed Zindani, and Dhiaul Haq, in which it is stated that, ‘the
attacks will be launched from them (these offces)… You must pursue fnding an umbrella
which you can stay under…and I prefer the name of the League (most likely, Muslim
World League) because Dr. Naseef is one of the brothers…’”
While these statements were only in the preliminary documents that were removed in
later documents, possibly since they are regarding older operations prior to 9/11, Naseef,
according to this, was in direct communication with Osama bin Laden; this might shed a
different light on the matter of Huma Abedin. For years, she had close ties with Naseef .
Naseef was proven to have been an al-Qaeda fnancier. The Naseef / Huma connection
has no degrees of separation as many claimed. These statements made by the media were
simply false.
Andrew McCarthy wrote that Naseef could have escaped the civil lawsuits on a
technicality:
“…he was named as a defendant in the civil case brought by victims of the 9/11
atrocities. (In 2010, a federal court dropped him from the suit — not because he
was found to be uninvolved, but because a judge reasoned the American court
lacked personal jurisdiction over him.)”
The Abedins went back and forth from east to west, even working during 1978 with
Maulana Muhammad Yousuf of Jamaat-e-Islami in India. Yusuf came after Abu Al-
Ala Maududi, who was key in the Tabligh in the Indian subcontinent’s equivalent of
the Muslim Brotherhood. It has extensive ties to Wahhabists, including Al-Qaeda and
other terrorist groups. They represent an extremist Salafst brand. Then they travel to
Saudi Arabia working with Naseef who spearheaded IMMA and commissioned the
Abedins from Saudi Arabia to launch the program in the U.S. and the United
Kingdom.
Do Americans think they circulated the earth, promoting this program solely
by themselves? Were the Abedins fulflling an “American dream”, “representing our
country and the democratic values that we hold dear” as President Obama says? Or is
it that they are fulflling a Saudi fantasy that our silence is making a reality?
What is ISNA’s Mohamed Magid, an entity in the Saudi manifesto, doing in
the White House, sitting across the table from Huma Abedin who was an IMMA
assistant editor, another entity created by the House of Saud? [here]
The Abedins’ boss, Abdullah Omar Naseef, never faced American justice. Is
oil more powerful than justice? Why does the State Department keep the masses in
the dark, not wanting them to connect the dots between the Saudi Wahhabist plans
and the Abedins’ IMMA?
Only then, when they connect the dots, can they begin to unravel why the
Abedin family works with nefarious characters like Naseef and Qaradawi. Only then
can they understand how inter-linked these organizations are, their layers and sublayers.
IMMA was and is a family affair under Saudi management, a foreign entity
that intends to do harm to United States interests.
Only when Americans fnally wake up and ask politicians why it is taboo to
discuss Huma Abedin, and demand the refutation of facts coupled with answers that
are devoid of rhetoric. Only then will they support courageous congressmen before
those congressmen are long gone. These are heroes, not slanderers as McCain implies.
They represent the interests of the people and not the policy of silence. House
Speaker John Boehner said to question Huma Abedin’s loyalty is “dangerous”; silence
is more deadly. When Bin Laden was fnally given justice, no one was looking for
jurisdictions. Yet, Al Saud and their henchmen still roam free, making sure America
remains addicted to oil and constantly silent.

The establishment of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth
By Dr. Salih Mahdi al-Samarrai
President of the Islamic Center of Japan
I was in an interview with Dr. Omar Hafez about the beginning of the establishment of the World
Assembly of Muslim Youth; he said to me: ‘Why don’t you write it down as a good deed of what
the vision of the Islamic banks contributed? Dr. Ahmed Najjar (Allah’s mercy be upon him), and
this is something that encouraged me to write. The hobby is to search for the roots: the frst
Muslim Japanese, the frst Muslim English, the frst Muslim American. The frst stand for the
Islamic Call (Da’wa) was established in the Hijaz before the one hundred and twenty years needed
to spread Islam in America, with Muslims in North America benefting from the roots of the
Muslims in Latin America and other regions whose history I have neglected to document in this
regard.
Since the beginning of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and when Allah took care of its founder, the
late King Abdul Aziz, he has been calling the men of thought in the Muslim world for conferences
and seminars and to the delegations visiting Mecca, to attend seminars and do Hajj (pilgrimage)
and return. This responsibility began in 1965, when I came from Japan. I was a student at that
time and was responsible for the Muslim Student Association in Japan. I came at the invitation of
the Muslim World League and joined the delegations of young students from America and
Europe, and was coordinating with the Association of the late Dr. Said Ramadan, head of the
Islamic Center in Geneva where he had at the time, a strong relationship with the youth and
student organizations globally.
We attended the second conference of the Muslim World League, sponsored by King Faisal bin
Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). It was attended by delegations from the Islamic world
including the Chief Ministers of northern Nigeria, the martyr Ahmed Bello, and was attended by
known leader Sheikh Abdullah Kashmiri, along with colleague Aslam Bek. Mr. Saleh Ozjan from
Turkey, was in attendance, whom I saw for the frst time after ten years of correspondence; it was
attended by Sheikh Amjad Zahawi Chief Scientist in Iraq and Sheikh Mohammed Mahmoud Al
Sawaf (may Allah have mercy on them) from Iraq, and Kamel-Sharif and the now deceased
Moroccan leader Allal El Fassi and deceased Musa al-Sadr of Lebanon and the now deceased
Omar Baha Al Amiri of Syria, Abdul Rahman Al Khalifa, Jordan and the now deceased Dr. Said
Ramadan from Egypt and Khaled Kepa from Japan and then came Dr. Tawfq Al-Shawi with a
delegation from Germany as well as attendees from Sudan, Britain, France and others.
These are the names I remember. The conference started at a time when the Islamic nation was
undergoing turmoil from Palestine to Kashmir to Yemen and other places.
At the head of the delegation was the Kingdom’s late Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz. Heading the
delegation was Sheikh Mohammed Bin Srour and the late Saleh Qazzaz.
After attending the conference, we were convicted by the Hajj and all returned to the country they
came from.
In 1972 I was a professor at the University of Riyadh (King Saud), prepared by the late Sheikh
Hassan Al-Sheikh, Minister of Education at the time. A program to invite the leaders of young
people from all over the world was coordinated with Dr. Tawfq Al-Shawi and entrusted to Mr.
Hamad Alsalifaih, offcial of Islamic Awareness at the Ministry of Ma’aref, in order to draw the
calls and create a conference for young people.
I learned this when I went to Sheikh Hassan Al-Sheikh and I said: ‘With all due respect to your
staff in your esteemed ministry, it would be better if you seek the assistance of the elite professors
and residents at the University of Riyadh who have the experience and knowledge on youth issues
and the next phase will be more useful.’ He said to me, ‘Give me names.’ I decided to sit down with
Dr Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikh, then Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, where I work, and later
became minister of agriculture. Together, we created a list of the names he agreed to.
I sat down with His Excellency Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikh; we identifed the following names of
teachers for the cause:
1 – Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikh
2 – Dr. Abdullah Omar Nassif (Naseef)
3 – Dr. Mahmoud Sifr
4 –Dr. Abdulwahab Al Mansouri
5 – Dr Ahmad Farid Mustafa
6 – Dr Mohammed Obaid
7 – Dr. Bakri
8 – Dr. Saleh Al-Samarrai
The names were approved by His Excellency (H.E.), Sheikh Hassan and entrusted to His
Excellency, Dr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali, an agent of the Ministry. We initiated a number of
meetings to receive the youth and students from all over the world.
There was a row from the staff of the Ministry of Education facing a row of professors. At the top
of the session chaired by H.E. Dr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali, who was developing the program for the
symposium and arranged for lecturers and editors at the meetings and create the name of the
seminar; it was decided to operate a secretariat.
Delegations came; preparers arranged the program, gave lectures and had discussions. After the
completion of the program, they began another preparatory session with the delegations to do
during the Hajj, which was accomplished as well, after their visit to the city of Medina. All then
returned to the country where they came from.
This was followed by the establishment of the secretariat, headed by H.E. Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-
Sheikh, with the help of Mr. Hamad Alsalifaih. After them followed Dr. Abdul Hamid Abu
Sulayman, and Dr. Ahmed Tutunge, who gave the seminar a boost before being followed by the
qualifed men: Dr. Ahmed Bahafezallah , and Dr. Tawfq al-Qaseer and then Dr. Mani’ al-Juhani
then, Dr. Saleh Al Wahaibi. Assisting these men were loyalists from various parts of the Kingdom
and outside like Dr. Basahel Suliman, Dr. Auich bin Harbi Al-Ghamdi, Dr. Abdul Wahab Noreli,
Dr. Saleh Bab’eer and many puritans which Allah knows. It would be better if I wrote a book, a
thesis for all the men who contributed to the support of the symposium from home and abroad.
