What's One Reason, As A Muslim, You Don't Like Saudi Arabia?

 

Saudi Arabia is the most blessed country because of its Islamic heritage and culture. Many people visit this Kingdom to fulfill their religious desire. They come to Saudi Arabia in order to perform Hajj and Umrah but most people visit for the performance of Umrah because unlike Hajj it can be undertaken at any time of the year. Muslims usually avail 14 Nights Umrah packages from different travel agencies to embark on this auspicious journey. Muslims really like Saudi Arabia as it is the place where our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) spent most of his time especially in the cities of Mecca and Medina. So, it’s hard for Muslims not to like this country. But still, there are a few negative aspects of this country that make some Muslims dislike it:

Harsh Weather

The severe weather conditions of this country make it difficult for pilgrims to perform Umrah. Even the tourists who come to explore the outstanding destinations of Saudi Arabia get affected by its harsh climate. Undoubtedly, Saudi Arabia is a very hot country and in summers the temperature reaches its maximum. This makes it really tough for both pilgrims who come to perform Umrah and tourists who come to explore the exquisite landscapes of the country. But if you want to travel to this holy country or want to fulfill your desire of performing Umrah then November to April is the best time. The weather in these months is moderate and dry which makes it easy for pilgrims to execute all of their rituals successfully without getting tired. They can also easily visit Islamic historical monuments in both Mecca and Medina.

Destruction of Historical Sites

The demolition of early Islamic sites is a continuing occurrence that has primarily happened in the Hejaz area of western Saudi Arabia, notably all around the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah. Mosques, graveyards, residences, and historical monuments linked with the Islamic prophet Muhammad and several of the foundational figures of early Islamic history have been directed for destruction. Several of the destruction of buildings in Saudi Arabia have indeed been legally justified as part of the ongoing development and expansion of Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and the Prophet's (S.A.W) Mosque in Medina, as well as its associated buildings in order to adequately accommodate the highly increasing number of Muslims coming to perform Umrah and Hajj pilgrimages.
