Al-Najd - What is it?

Re: Al-Najd - What is it?

Salam, Just an idea for your research. You might have noticed I have referred to some people as Najdis. In order to do that, qualify my usage of the term, I would defend my usage of the term with its link to dhul khuwaysra - the najdi - who disrespected the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam as well the other Hadiths. The Hadith on dhul khuwaysra mentions ‘‘from his loins’’ and this is just one pointer. Another point from a Hadith in the article i posted earlier was harshness and sternness. Allah is Ar Rahman Ar Raheem to the Believers, Our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam is Rauf and Raheem for the Believers, najdis are harsh and stern!

So the difference, in my opinion, between Najd and Iraq or Sham or Yemen is Aqeedah
The Aqeedah which emanates from Najd from time to time is unique to Najdis. This time it has engulfed much of the Islamic world population, me and you both know the bidaati [innovated] nature of this aqeedah

Najdis are involved in some of the fighting and much propagation of their beliefs including within the fighting arenas. The saudi regime is najdi, and what it spends money on propagating is from a man who their own literature says is ‘‘shaykh An-Najd’’ - it emanated from Najd and it misses the essence of Islam

That is a sound enough theory but how does it connect Iraq with Najd?

My theory is that the “horn of devil” is the fitnah that comes from this discovery of Oil and Gas. Studying the reserves around the region it is clear that the majority of the Oil and Gas is literally in Iraq and Najd.

'Aqeedah could still be an important factor … I think you may be right about the belief of the Najdis … But in that case there must also be a problem with the belief in Iraq … Seeing that Iraq is considered the centre of certain Shi’a beliefs it could be that the two horns are the two sides of the coin of deviant belief.

I note many Wahabis criticise Sunnis for being like Shi’a and Shi’a criticise Sunnis for things that Wahabis do … Could it be that these two horns are such groups? In terms of numbers they are about equal too. Now it is natural for me to side with my own belief so it would be unfair for me to make such a statement. However food for thought.
