What is happening in the lands of Najd and Hijaz
has only shown the camel's hump so far!
The News:
Argaam electronic newspaper published on October 30th a news item entitled "Third Quarter Budget: Revenues 269.9 Billion Riyals and Expenditures 358.4 Billion Riyals," stating: "The Ministry of Finance announced today the general (actual) budget for the third quarter of 2025, where revenues amounted to 269.9 billion riyals, while public expenditures amounted to 358.4 billion riyals. The budget deficit amounted to 88.5 billion riyals in the third quarter of 2025. Revenues in the first 9 months of this year's budget amounted to 835.1 billion riyals, while public expenditures amounted to 1016.8 billion riyals, i.e., a deficit of 181.8 billion riyals."
Comment:
The talk here is about the increasing deficit in the general budget of the lands of Najd and Hijaz, which may seem strange, but this is the truth. The lands of Najd and Hijaz have become spoils for the disbelievers; America's oil companies were not content with plundering the Muslims' oil for a century. We have recently witnessed London and Washington rushing to increase the plundering of Muslim money in Riyadh in the economic crisis of late 2008, and how Trump returned in 2017 to plunder hundreds of billions of dollars, and added a trillion dollars in 2025.
Which made King Salman and his son Mohammed resort to borrowing, to bring the country that produces 16 million barrels of oil a day to this level of deficit in the general budget, and of public debt! Their kingdom's public debt reached $391.1 billion by the end of September 2025, up from $250.1 billion at the beginning of 2022 by $141 billion, which is equivalent to 29% of the GDP! To waste Muslim money, and make them not benefit from it in what establishes their religion and their lives.
It is nothing but moving away from ruling by Islam, and replacing it with the rule of disbelief in Muslim countries, with prior deliberate planning and arrangement that began with targeting Iraq and then Yemen, to make it easier to target Najd and Hijaz after them, dismember them, and make NEOM an alternative to Mecca. This continuous targeting is in line with plans to target Mecca and Medina since Domingo Francisco Badia in 1804, Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1814, Richard Francis Burton in 1855, William Gifford Palgrave in 1864, and Charles Doughty in 1876, up to Gertrude Bell, and Lawrence of Arabia, in the demolition of the Caliphate in 1924. Muslims will not regain dignity except by restoring what they have lost and establishing the second righteous Caliphate according to the method of Prophethood.
