The Saudi preacher, Imad Al-Mobayed, previously the imam and preacher of the King Abdul Aziz Mosque in Dammam, appeared in a new video to explain the reason for his departure from Saudi Arabia.
“I tell you in this video why I left my country,” al-Moubayed said in a post on Twitter on Thursday.
He said, “I was able to leave the country, following all the doors were closed in clarifying the truth and denouncing the evil, and God has enjoined this matter on the people of knowledge.”
He added, “I wish that I would speak this hadith in front of you, while I was on my pulpit in my mosque among the people, but if I continued on this I would have suffered what befell my fellow scholars,” referring to the preachers who were arrested in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Moubayed published pictures of the arrested “scholars, preachers and preachers”, including Awad Al-Qarni and Saleh Al-Talib, in the background of the video on Twitter.
He added that if he had continued to stay, “I would have been afflicted by what afflicted them in terms of imprisonment, abuse and unfair trials,” as he put it.
He pointed out that “God has legislated the worship of immigration when a person is unable to establish the religion of God or communicate it, or a person fears harm and harm for himself.”
Al-Moubayed announced, on Tuesday, through a post on Twitter, that he had left his country.
The Saudi “Prisoners of Conscience” account on Twitter confirmed the preacher’s arrival in London, following he appeared in a video during the past few days and gave advice to the king and the crown prince.
At the beginning of this month, Al-Moubayed had published a video clip in which he presented “advice to the rulers of affairs in the Kingdom”, addressing a message to the Saudi monarch, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and the Crown Prince, Prince Muhammad bin Salman, and the head of the Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh.
On the second of March, Al-Moubayed published a new clip, which he said was “to clarify what some people misunderstood from the first video.”
