Study On The Event Of Mecca Mosque

The Mecca Mosque in 1979 was a microcosm of the fierce game of the old and new forces in the process of Saudi modernization.On November 20,1979,at the time of the first day of the 14 th year of Islam,the member of Islam,led by Juhayman al-Utaybi,armed and occupied the largest mosque of Islam and claimed that Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Qahtani was the awaited "Mahdi",condemned the Saudi family not religious and political legitimacy from Allah,attacked the official Wahabi Ulama,the Saudi family was eroding of traditional religious culture,called on the people to overthrow the "Unbelievers" of the Saudi family’s monarchy,to Muhammad’ s society as a model for all Muslim life,the establishment of truly and legitimate Islamic state.the occupiers received the support of the traditional tribal forces,the realization of settled nomads,the National Guard part of the soldiers,as well as foreign workers and other.With the support of the official "Fatwa" and foreign troops and the bloody cracked down,the Saudi government finally changed its initial defeaton and the control of the monastery on December 4,1979.Meanwhile,including al-Qahtani the armed men were killed by the government in the conflict,and Juhayman and others were executed afterwards.On the basis of the theory,Juhayman’s fundamentalist religious view inherited the fundamentalism,which was founded by Ibn Hanba in the 9th century,and Ibn Taymeyein in the 14 th century and the religious tradition of the Wahhabi,which emerged in the Arabian Peninsula in the 18 th century.the Event of Mecca Mosque is a historical continuation of the tendency of religious radicalism.It was no coincidence that the occurrence of the Event of Mecca Mosque was not directly related to the Islamic revival of the Arab world since the mid-twentieth century,as well as the state of the theocratic system established by the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran.At the same time,it also fully embodies the turbulent change in the Saudi old and new forces between the fierce game.In the transformation of the old and new civilization of Saudi Arabia,the traditional religious forces was weakened,therefore,they had an instinctive psychological resistance to social change.In addition,the social distribution of polarization,corruption and social injustice and other phenomena,with the Islamic doctrine advocated the "both rich and poor" thought to form a strong contrast,thus brewed and contributed to the common interest of Saudi ordinary citizens.The monastery was a religious event with a strong fundamentalism and an organized religious and political movement.It directly affected the political and social processes later Saudi Arabia.The Saudi government had to strengthen the Islamic faith,clear and strengthen their own Islamic character.At the same time,the government gave greater power to the Wahhabi religious scholars in areas such as justice,education,religious guidance,and the spread of Islam,so that the marginalized religious forces returned to the center and thus stabilize the political and religious alliance system.
