America’s Demands of the Rulers of the Two Haramayn (Sacred Masjids) are “Orders” to Be Implemented

In his first explicit statement, during his meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday (November 18, 2025), Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman said he wanted to move toward recognizing ‘Israel’ “as soon as possible.”

Bin Salman said, “We want to be part of the Abraham Accords, but we want also to be sure that we secure a clear path of two-state solution.” He added that he had a “healthy discussion” on this issue with Trump, emphasizing, “we’re going to work on that to be sure that we can prepare the right situation as soon as possible to have that.”

For his part, the US President said he had spoken with the Saudi Crown Prince about the Abraham Accords, expressing his belief that he had received a positive response. On another matter, the Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman considered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents at the Kingdom's consulate in Istanbul to be a “huge mistake.”

Bin Salman said the 2018 killing, which sparked international outrage, “it’s painful and it's a huge mistake and we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again.” For his part, Trump said Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist, was “someone that was extremely controversial,” adding, “A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen... But he [the Crown Prince] knew nothing about it.”

Trump attacked the journalist who asked the question, saying, “You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that.” Trump praised the Saudi crown prince when they appeared before the media, saying, “We have an extremely respected man in the Oval Office today,” describing Prince Muhammad bin Salman as “a friend of mine for a long time.”

Trump also praised Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the crown prince’s father. Trump, referring to the Crown Prince, said, “I want to thank you because you've agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States. And because he's my friend, he might make it $1 trillion but I'm going to have to work on him.” Following this, the Saudi Crown Prince informed President Trump that Riyadh would increase its financial commitments to the United States from $600 billion to $1 trillion.

Trump responded, “…good. I like that very much.” Prince Muhammad was asked whether Saudi Arabia could maintain the investments given the current low oil prices, but he indicated that the agreements regarding computer chips were in line with his country’s development.

Bin Salman said, “we believe in the future of America... I believe, Mr. President, and today and tomorrow we're going to announce that we are going to increase that, that $600 billion to almost $1 trillion of investment.”

Al-Waie Magazine: This is how, after a small request of the rulers of the Haramayn (Two Sacred Masjids), America steals more of wealth of the Ummah. Otherwise, as Trump previously stated, these rulers would not last two weeks in power, as they are their employees and usurpers of power and authority against the will of the Ummah.

The Extent of the Security Breach within Hezbollah Reveals the Extent of the Security Breach within Iran Itself.

The “Israeli” army announced details of the airstrike that targeted Haytham Tabatabai, the second-in-command of Hezbollah in a surprise attack on an apartment in the Dahieh suburb of Beirut without any prior warning. This reflects the intelligence nature of the operation, which was based on confirmation of his presence at the location. “Israel” accuses Tabatabai of being a central leader in Hezbollah since the 1980s, having commanded the Radwan Force and managed the party's operations in Syria. Washington considers him one of its most prominent military leaders and has offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture. The “Israeli” army spokesperson stated that the assassination came after monitoring Tabatabai’s attempts to rebuild Hezbollah's military capabilities, describing the operation as “a severe blow to the Hezb’s command and control capabilities.” He emphasized that ‘Israel’ will not allow Hezbollah to rearm, whether through the implementation of the agreement or the use of force, and called on the Lebanese government to continue working to disarm the Hezbollah. The spokesperson affirmed that any attempt by Hezbollah to harm “Israel’s” security will be met with “even greater force,” considering the current situation to highlight the Lebanese army’s weakness in curbing the Hezb’s activities.

Al-Waie Magazine: There’s a popular saying, «دود الخل مِنهُ وفيه» “The worm in vinegar is from within,” which means “the problem comes from within.” The atrocities committed by the Iranian regime against the Islamic Ummah, both within Iran and across the Ummah, confirm that the blindness and arrogance that have afflicted Iran prevent it from discovering the agents within its ranks, especially in its front lines, unless its leader is personally carrying out Western conspiracies. This is to say nothing of the devastating blows it receives from spies alone after losing the trust of its support base, the Ummah as a whole.

Turkey Welcomes the Head of State of the Vatican to the Nashid “The Full Moon Has Risen Upon Us «طلع البدر علينا»”

The reception ceremony for Pope Leo XIV in Turkey sparked widespread criticism, as the band played the nasheed “The Full Moon Has Risen Upon Us” upon his arrival at Cihanoma Hall in Ankara. Many Turks shared the video of the ceremony, questioning why the Pope was received in this manner. Many also expressed their displeasure at the comparison drawn between the Pope's reception and the Prophet Muhammad (saw)’s entry into Madinah in the well-known narration, considering it an inappropriate religious and cultural conflation.

Al-Waie Magazine: What can be expected from someone who conspired against the people of Gaza, Al-Quds, and ash-Sham, and who continues to conspire against them for the benefit of his master, America?

Joining the “International Coalition” is a Gateway to Direct Occupation and the Killing of Muslims

A private source told Syria TV that a member of the Internal Security Forces was killed and three American soldiers were wounded when they were fired upon in the city of Palmyra in central Syria during a joint patrol. Earlier, a security source told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) that Syrian security forces and American forces came under fire near Palmyra on Saturday while conducting a joint field patrol. The source noted that the incident resulted in injuries to two members of the Syrian security forces and several American soldiers while the shooter was killed. No further information has yet been released regarding the motives or circumstances of the incident. Traffic on the Deir ez-Zor-Damascus international highway was temporarily halted due to the incident, coinciding with intensive aerial activity in the area. It was reported that American helicopters intervened to evacuate the wounded to the al-Tanf base after the shooting.

Al-Waie Magazine: Did al-Jolani think that the costs of joining the “International Coalition” were insignificant because America was satisfied with him? America will not be satisfied with him until he becomes one of its own and begins killing Muslims with his own hands, not merely relying on his forces who trust him. In contrast, there are those within the Ummah who will not accept occupation, humiliation, and degradation, and will not tolerate it even if al-Jolani were to bring thousands of sorcerers to try to convince the Ummah that he is the “awaited Mahdi” and that he is the one who makes peace with the Romans to fight an enemy behind them.” One of them made his point in Palmyra, in his own way.

The Lebanese State is Trying to Convince States to Fund Vital Projects, Assuring Them that the Funds Will Not, in Any Way, End up in the Pockets of Officials to Increase their Wealth

In an interview with Asharq, Lebanese Minister of Economy and Trade, Amer Bsat, considered the holding of the Beirut One Conference a success in itself after years of interruption, as it brought together dozens of Arab and foreign investors. The sessions directly addressed investment challenges and requirements, while also instilling a sense of hope and future opportunities, especially in vital sectors such as electricity, agriculture, and health.

Al-Waie Magazine: As the saying goes, يلي بجرب المجرب عقله مخرب “He who tries what has already been experienced has a ruined mind,” which is in the sense of a fool, repeating mistakes. However, some rulers of Muslims persist in funneling money back to Lebanon because they are beholden to the same colonialist powers and because they share with the Lebanese rulers the theft of the wealth of the Ummah. The difference is that those who funnel money back also seize the Ummah’s vast resources, such as oil and gas, and share the profits with the Western colonialist powers. This is the West’s condition for keeping these agent rulers of Muslims in power and for prolonging their oppressive and authoritarian rule over the Ummah, as well as their acts of financial banditry. Even though the Lebanese rulers steal the people's money repeatedly, even from citizens' personal bank accounts, they feel secure from accountability, because of regional rulers who are agents of the West and who come to their aid in every crisis. Furthermore, there is a segment of the Ummah that is unaware of its rights and Shariah obligations, and of what is required of its rulers, so it does not hold them accountable based on Islam but rather conforms to the prevailing circumstances, whatever they may be.

On the Anniversary of Bashar al-Assad’s Fleeing, the New Rulers of Syria Desecrate the Minbar of the Umayyad Masjid by Praising the Secular Tyrant of the Arabian Peninsula, Muhammad bin Salman

They attempt to dissuade the Ummah from fighting the Jewish state through deception and by merely offering military uniforms.

On Monday, 8 December 2025, the Syrian President, Ahmed al-Sharaa (Al-Jolani), revealed a gift he received from Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman. Al-Sharaa announced that the Saudi Crown Prince presented him with a piece of the Kaaba's covering bearing the verse,

[وَإِذۡ جَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡبَيۡتَ مَثَابَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَمۡنٗا وَٱتَّخِذُواْ مِن مَّقَامِ إِبۡرَٰهِ‍ۧمَ مُصَلّٗى]

“And remember when We made the House a place of return for the people and a place of security. And take, O believers, from the standing place of Ibrahim a place of prayer.” [TMQ Surah Al-Baqarah: 125] to be placed in the courtyard of the Umayyad Masjid in Damascus. Al-Sharaa led the dawn Fajr prayer at the Umayyad Masjid, wearing military uniform, and delivered a speech commemorating the first anniversary of the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Al-Waie Magazine: It seems that al-Jolani still underestimates the capabilities of the Ummah because he measures it by his own experience, and that of his peers, who tied their fate during the ash-Sham revolution to “friendly” countries that provided them with conditional support to divert the Syrian revolution from its goals. This meant preventing the fall of the regime subservient to Western colonialism, its institutions, and all its symbols. Instead, elements of the old regime were integrated into the new one, and Syria remained under the influence of Western countries and the Western colonialist order, America and its affiliated organizations like the United Nations, and its smaller agent organizations like the Arab League. Moreover, they pushed for normalization with the Jewish state, and Islamic ruling governance was not established. Instead, racist, pre-Islam (jahiliyyah) nationalist ties were revived under the guise of visionary identity and other such things.

Patriarch al-Rahi, “The New Syria has Become an Islamic State, Meaning that Non-Muslims Have No Place in Syria.”

Al-Waie Magazine: The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Lebanon issued a press release on 7 Jumada al-Thani 1447 AH, corresponding to 28 November 2025 CE, commenting on the statements made by the Patriarch Al-Rahi in his interview with the Lebanese Al-Jadeed Channel on the program “This is Me” with journalist Samar Abu Khali.

The press release stated the following, “The space here does not suffice to mention the honorable history of Muslims with Christians who lived among them, nor even to list the positions of writers and thinkers who were fair in describing the treatment of Muslims toward Christians — such as Amin Maalouf and Shakib Arslan. Yet we affirm that this Islamic view and the view of its state toward Christians is clear to the Patriarch Al-Rahi specifically — especially after a delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Lebanon visited him on 12/1/2021 and handed him a detailed book on this matter."

The detailed book concluded with the following: “Beware — all caution — of the projects driven by the West in Lebanon, especially America, now that the coasts of Lebanon float upon enormous oil and gas wealth — making Lebanon an object of covetousness in its resources after America has drained it politically and socially... And beware as well of participating in the international competition over Lebanon, especially between America and France, as an extension of the conflict over the vast gas wealth in the Eastern Mediterranean... Therefore, it is necessary that your insistence be upon linking Lebanon to its origin, its region, and its surroundings — and upon supporting those who sincerely work to save Lebanon and its region from the claws of Western dependency, whether that West is American, French, or otherwise.”

The book also stated: “And today Lebanon lives the same vortex of ‘old-new’ sedition arising from external intervention (American-European) — and if it produces anything new it will only be another failing formula. All these formulas stand upon a law of victor and vanquished — and this entity has been wrapped with a thousand folds of fabrication making of it a holy sanctuary, while it is an entity that has failed to form for itself a unified identity, and its political system is fragile.”
