PM Imran Khan meets Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman

[Baba Google]

Can I ask why Iran is such a holy cow for the Shias of Pakistan? All major Shia sites are in Iraq like Karbala. Majority of Sunnis understand the difference between Hijaz and Saudi Arabia. Why Shia obsession with Iran?

Mashhad is in Khorasan, Iran which is a resting place of our 8th Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Rida - Also Syria where Bibi Zainab (SA) resides. Iran, Iraq and Syria are very dear to us. And we will do our best to defend the resting places of our Aima e Masoomeen (as). We may have so many differences but when it comes to Aima e Masoomeen (as) we are united.

No one chose Gulf arab over Iran because of religious reason like you people do. For a start Iran always been big supporter of India. 2nd Gulf countries is where millions of Pakistanis work.

Maybe brelvis or sufi muslims?

Brother if You read carefully, I've said in my post that if I am not allowed to visit KSA for Hajj, thn I am also not allowed to visit Karbala or Mashhad without a visa.

Despite that Pakistan is neutral when it comes to Saudi-Iran conflict.

States are run by people my friend. theres always reason for everything - if Pakistan is neutral than there is a reason for that as well.


Disclaimer:::: Also when I said Sunni Islam, I meant Sunni jurisprudence, because when it comes to jurisprudence, there is no brelvi, wahabi etc. I've seen wahabis who follow the jurisprudence of Abu Hanifa, I've also seen brelvis who follow the jurisprudence of Abu Hanifa. <<< this is an example.

We have millions who are working there..we have two Holy cities..

there are indians , bangla people too perhaps more than Pakistanis so what?

 

[B.K.N]

I think we should help saudis and send our pilots to carryout airraids on houthis by using f15 of saudis,houthis should be carpet bombed

They don't need Pakistani pilots they need army soldiers and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia has very good relations Pakistani PM or army chief meeting with Saudi king isn't something extraordinary

Has COAS also gone there with PM?

 

[Malik Alpha]

Sunni Islam which is the majority of Pakistan will always side with KSA, this is a fact and I as a follower of school of Ahlul-Bayt and die hard Pakistani respect that. Nobody cares about the Pakistani Mufaad here.

The fact is, I am not allowed to go on Hajj without a visa, nor I am allowed to visit Mashhad, Iran or Karbala, Iraq without a visa. Yet when it comes to choosing a side, I am compelled to side with Iran or Iraq over KSA because I am a follower of school of Ahlul-Bayt. And I expect the same from my sunni brothers (that they are also compelled to choose KSA over Iran or Iraq).

Wah! Akal aahi gyi akhir kar

I understand Iraq, that is where Karballa is and fully respect that. But why Iran? Pakistan got more Sufi shrines and saints buried here then any where else! My question was specifically about Iran not Iraq, Syria or any other place.

I think that it is necessary for all of us to detach our faith, whatever it is, from the current geopolitical scenarios, personalities, and conflicts. It may be difficult, but not impossible. For example, I am very clear that the conflict between Iran and Arabs has all the elements of sectarianism, ethnicity and desire for hegemony and supremacy. Why shall I be part of it?

Prime Minister Imran Khan, who reached Jeddah on a two-day official visit Thursday, has briefed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman on the prevailing situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) since New Delhi revoked the valley’s special status.

According to a statement issued by the PM House, issues of mutual interest and bilateral relations were discussed in the meeting.

He condemned the recent attacks on oil installations in KSA, which has cut the kingdom’s crude production, fanning fear of further instability in the Middle East.

Not everyone is as sane as you my friend.

Brother read my last post again if you can.

Pakistan got more Sufi shrines and saints buried here then any where else! My question was specifically about Iran not Iraq, Syria or any other place.

Sufi Islam has nothing to do with Shia Islam, we respect Sufi Islam because they are close to us and somehow they trace back their system to Ali Ibn Abi Talib. Commonalities in general does not mean our sources are same or aligned.

 

[Foxtrot Delta]

If arabia needs us we should help protect them. Give them a sense of security

Not everyone is as sane as you my friend

But in reality people like you are a small minority no one cares about sect religion etc
Real divide in Pakistani society is on ethnic basis like ptm ANP etc type politics

I remember when Benazir was martyred, I went somewhere to get some votes during that election time and people of Pakistan were like "Hamari Amma mar gaye hai vote toh Amma ka banta hai." Amma ko vote dey kar kiya bana? real divide in Pakistan is not ethnic but because of jahalat.
