Where do Saudi Arabia get their drinking water from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a few sources.

  • The main source is the Sea of Galilee (the Kinneret), a body of fresh water (157 sq km) that is located adjacent to the city of Tiberias in the north of Israel. Most of its water comes from the north- many rivers located there are sources of water, like the Hazbani, the Banias and the Dan.
  • An increasing percentage of Israel's water comes from desalination, which now represents about 27% of Israel's water.
  • Also, 40% of water used in agriculture is from reclaimed water (treated-wastewater).

Asked by Wiki User

Madinah was the first city in which the proper Islamic state was developed. It was the city where Prophet Muhammad was able to demonstrate the laws of Islam in full. Moreover, Madinah today contains the tomb of Prophet Muhammad and also the third most sacred mosque in Islam. Correction - the SECOND most sacred. First is the Kaaba in Mecca, second the prophet's mosque in Madinah, and third the Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

Why did Prophet Mohammed tell his companions to leave Mecca?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He left Mecca (or Makkah) to Medina (or Al-Madinah) per God comman to him as God informed him that The Pagans in Mecca are plotting to assassinate him.

People of Mecca who were the Prophet's kinship , forced him to leave as they did not accept his beliefs and tortured his followers . Leaving to Medina was done under a Divine direction.

God informed prophet Mohamed (peace upon him) that the tribe leaders who, didn't accept Islam, plotted to assassinate him. Accordingly, he was commanded by God (Allah) to immigrate to Medina.

Just like the first person said, Muhammad was exiled from Mecca for preaching the revelations that he was told by the angel Gabriel. After his exile, he left for Medina, and gathered a group of followers. Muhammad then returned to Mecca* and captured it in 630 AD (year 6 Hijra year) marking the beginning of the Islamic empire.

*The journey to Mecca from Medina was called the Hijra.
Allah commanded him to migrate .One of the reasons was because the Muslims were being persecuted and ill treated in Mecca.
The first reason was that Muhammad had been warned by Allah about the plot to assassinate him and further commanded to migrate. As per Allah's orders did Muhammad choose to migrate. Another critical factor was the ever-growing resistance of the Makkans and all the persecutions that came with it. Madinah would become a more stable and Islam-friendly base for Islam to expand and gain root and after a few years, it did exactly this.

When did prophet Muhammad return to Mecca after Medina?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) returned to Mecca (Makkah) for two reasons:

  • To remove the Idols (worshiped by unbelievers) that spread around Kaba.
  • To allow Muslims to practice their worship of Hajj to Mecca with no harm or restrictions.

Muhammad and his followers returned to Makkah (or Mecca) to get it available for hajj (or ilgrimage) because they were formerly deprived from doing hajj. However, when the Meccas (or Makkah) surrendered to them without fight, prophet (PBUH) forgave all of them and didn't take any revenge against any of the Meccas who tortured Muslims and deprived them from their money and properties before they were obliged to immigrate from Mecca or against who fought him and his followers after he left Mecca to Medina. He and his followers removed all the idols around Kaaba. Then, they all returned to Medina without getting with them back any of the wealth or properties in Mecca even their own former money or properties.

Why did the people of Mecca initially resist Muhammad's teachings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Abu Sufyan and the Meccans did not oppose Muhammad arbitrarily. They had specific grievances, which included:

Preserving Religious Plurality:
Abu Sufyan opposed Mohammed because the religious plurality permitted in Mecca was critical for maintaining Mecca's important position along the Arabian trade routes. It was on account of the fact that Mecca was holy site for all Arabian faiths that spared it from internal conflict and allowed the flourishing of commerce in the city. Mohammed made clear that he intended to purge the idols from the Kaaba which would cause mass uproar and ended Mecca's position as a holy site for all Arabians.

Of course, what Abu Sufyan did not take into account is that nearly all Arabians would convert to Islam after the fall of Mecca.

Keeping His Own Power: Abu Sufyan was one of the Chief Leaders of the Qoreish Tribe and one of the most powerful men in all of Arabia. Should Mecca fall to the Muslims, he would certainly lose substantial power. Many Muslims hold that he was corrupt as well, meaning that he stood to face criminal acts if he were subject to Mohammed's authority.

Polytheism: It was likely that Abu Sufyan was fighting in defense of Arabian henotheist religion to which he ascribed against Mohammed who would demand that he abandon all gods but Allah.

Protecting Commerce: During Mohammed's Medinan Period, Mohammed organized and executed numerous raids on caravans heading to and leaving from Mecca, causing disruption to Arabian trade routes. Since Abu Sufyan was in an important position in Mecca, this was something he would be expected to ameliorate.

Mohamed (peace be upon him) conquered Makkah peacefully with 10,000 of his supporters. It was in the 8th year of Islamic Hejri Calendar during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.

What is the telephone area code for mobiles in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is country code +966, and Riyadh is in area code +966 1 (or 01 within Saudi Arabia).

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

How much does Nokia n900 cost in Saudi Arabia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It really depends on the demands and expectations of the consumers as much as on the features of the device. Markets in Saudi Arabia don't really have a price control and the n900's price might swing between 3000SR (800USD) and as low as 2500SR (660USD). But the price can't be really known for sure until its out in the market and selling.

Same thing happened with the N97 as it was for 800USD as it came out and 660USD not even a month later. Personally I'm on the pre-order list for the n900 at the Nokia Store and have been told it will be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia by the first week of November, can't wait.
