Medina has had a special sanctity for centuries, with no room for tampering or corruption, especially around its Prophet&#8217;s Mosque.<\/p>\n<h3>Changing &#8220;For Muslims Only&#8221; to &#8220;Border of the Sanctuary&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>However, Mohammed bin Salman&#8217;s regime started to diminish this sanctity by replacing the phrase &#8220;For Muslims Only&#8221; with &#8220;Border of the Sanctuary&#8221; on directional signs in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/01\/10\/israels-ambitious-borders-writer-forecasts-expansion-to-mecca-medina-and-mount-sina\/\"> Medina<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the Prophet&#8217;s Mosque lost part of its sanctity and dignity. A video circulated showing two women, without hijab and dressed immodestly, trying to enter the mosque while the call to prayer was heard before being stopped by security guards. The report questioned, &#8220;Who allowed them to reach the Prophet&#8217;s Mosque dressed like this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report stated: &#8220;Disrespecting the sanctity of the Prophet&#8217;s Mosque allowed revealing women&#8217;s immodest clothing hundreds of meters away from its honorable sanctuary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6878\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6878\" style=\"width: 639px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6878 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/the-sanctity-and-dignity-of-the-Prophets-Mosque.jpg\" alt=\"the sanctity and dignity of the Prophet's Mosque\" width=\"639\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/the-sanctity-and-dignity-of-the-Prophets-Mosque.jpg 639w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/the-sanctity-and-dignity-of-the-Prophets-Mosque-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/the-sanctity-and-dignity-of-the-Prophets-Mosque-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/the-sanctity-and-dignity-of-the-Prophets-Mosque-450x285.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Replacing the phrase For Muslims Only with &#8220;Border of the Sanctuary&#8221;

published a lengthy report documenting the frequent visits of Israelis to the kingdom, including businessmen, journalists, and others, speaking of the visit of 50 of them to Medina.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6879\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6879 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-extremist-Hindu-delegation-in-Medina.jpg\" alt=\"Risks Surrounding Medina Due to Mohammed bin Salman's Plans\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-extremist-Hindu-delegation-in-Medina.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-extremist-Hindu-delegation-in-Medina-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-extremist-Hindu-delegation-in-Medina-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-extremist-Hindu-delegation-in-Medina-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-extremist-Hindu-delegation-in-Medina-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An extremist Hindu delegation in Medina.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Dissemination of Vice in Medina<\/h3>\n<p>Mohammed bin Salman&#8217;s strategy deliberately spreads vice and corruption in Medina, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The fingers of the Entertainment Authority began to toy with Medina by launching the &#8220;Hawi&#8221; project last year, which included, for the first time, an outdoor cinema, as a first step to spread corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Religious scholars and religious institutes in Medina are also being fought against, such as the closure of the most famous religious institute there and the arrest of several of its scholars and readers.<\/p>\n<p>Among them is Sheikh Ahmed Al-Amari, the dean of the College of the Holy Qur&#8217;an at the University of Medina, who was tortured to death in 2019, and the arrest of the reader and chanter Rabee Hafez in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Mohammed bin Salman&#8217;s regime allowed the sale of properties in Medina to foreigners after amending the ownership law to allow foreigners to own property in Mecca and Medina, after they were exempt from that since the kingdom&#8217;s founding.<\/p>\n<p>This will open the door wide for Israelis to own property in the two holy cities, even if under different nationalities and deceptive methods.<\/p>\n<p>Following the example of other cities and under the pretext of development and construction, campaigns began to demolish and displace several neighborhoods, landmarks, and the ancient Islamic heritage of Medina, filled with many memories.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, real compensation is absent for many of its residents whose homes were demolished.<\/p>\n<p>Observers agree that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman&#8217;s attempt to target Medina, its religion, people, heritage, and identity carries dangerous implications.
