Abdul-Rahman Al-Sudais is one of the most popular and richest Imam who was born on February 10, 1960 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdul Aziz al-Sudais (Arabic: عَبْدُ ٱلْرَّحْمَن إبْن عَبْدُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلسُّدَيْس , romanized: ʻAbd ar-Rahman ibn ʻAbd al-Aziz as-Sudais; born 10 February 1960 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) is the imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia; the president of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques; a renowned qāriʾ (reciter of the Qur’an); and was the Dubai International Holy Qur’an Award’s “Islamic Personality Of the Year” in
- Al-Sudais has preached Islam’s opposition to “explosions and terrorism”, and has called for peaceful inter-faith dialogue, but also been sharply criticized for vilifying non-Muslims and especially Jews in his sermons. He has denounced the treatment of Palestinians by Israeli settlers and the state of Israel, and called for more aid to be sent to Palestinians. He has also been noted for identifying women’s un-Islamic behavior as in part responsible for the winter 2006 drought in Saudi Arabia. In 2016, he delivered the very important Hajj sermon to a multitude of pilgrims gathered at Arafat after prayers.
Following his 2002 speech, Al-Sudais has been described as an antisemite for publicly praying to God to ‘terminate’ the Jews, whom he called “the scum of humanity…the rats of the world…prophet killers…pigs and monkeys”, and as a result has been barred from conferences in the United States and been refused entry to Canada.
In a May 2003 interview with NBC’s Tim Russert, the foreign policy adviser to the Saudi crown prince, Adel al-Jubeir, confirmed al-Sudais’s statements, agreed that they were “clearly not right,” and stated that he was reprimanded, but was still allowed to preach. He also said that “if he [Sudais] had a choice he would retract these words – he would not have said these words.”
In 2003, Sudais stated that he believes that youth need to be taught Islamic law, including the precepts of the prohibition on killing oneself and the prohibition against attacking non-Muslims living in Islamic countries. Sudais has also said that Islamic youth should not “indiscriminately hurl the label of atheism and not to confuse between legitimate jihad and…the terrorizing of peaceable people.”
The International Broadcasting Bureau also has reported the antisemitism of Sudais’s April 2002 sermon.
