Well, it's a nightclub with a ban on alcohol, why was that done? You brought up politics, I didn't.
My comment was to make some arab pick mes in Nigeria see reason. You can't out arab the arab.

Oh dear, can't please everyone.

Islam passed Arabia 1400+ years ago! It has covered Europe, America, Africa, Asia and the pacific region. It’s bigger than Nigeria. Islam isn’t Arabic it’s world wide. Ignorance isn’t attractive.

Still praying for the day world leaders will have the courage to decide to eradicate Islam from the surface of the earth.
That day will definitely come and this Islamic cities with their Mecca will be nuked with all the terrorists in it.
Nuke them and let the world have peace

That’s 2 billion people you are talking about from different races, nationalities, and ethnicity! You are calling for 2 out of 8 billion people to be wiped out? Are you not the monster in this scenario? Bigotry will never win! The truth will rise above all bs! 🤭

Nearly 70% of the population is expats so the crown is moving to accommodate the influx. Muslim women are still expected to follow the Islamic tradition but expats are given more freedom. Muslim women from foreign lands with a passport to prove their citizenship can benefit from the same freedoms/restrictions in a bid to attract foreign visitors.

The ruling remains the same for those willing to confirm while giving more freedom to visitors from abroad. This has nothing to do with Islam but more to do with politics and the need to benefit financially from expats. We need to separate religion from politics in order to avoid bigotry. This is politics at play and nothing to do with Islam.

realmindz:
lol, people can be so unnecessarily emotional. Sister, calm down

Lol. I should calm down but the hateful bigotry should continue? Okay sir! You’re right ☺️🫶🫶

This is a prestige venue that gives a non-mixed (men and women) night life feel in the heart of Qatar. Expats with the money to spend can and will spend the money to achieve their desires without prejudice. Expats have always been given their rights to enjoy their freedom! While for Muslims; Women and men are separated, alcohol is forbidden so nothing new to report!

Bigots and illiterates will interpret this how their bias minds will. It’s same ol Islam! No free mixing between the sexs and no alcohol but a great night nonetheless! 😁

Inside Saudi Arabia’s first nightclub with ban on booze, world’s strictest bouncers & entry costs up to £2,8001
newsfinale.comMay 23, 2024 2:09 PM
SAUDI Arabia has ditched its conservative laws to open the first permanent nightclub in a bid to appeal to party-loving youngsters.


Dubbed “New Life”, the Beast House in Riyadh’s youthful Jax District is the only vibrant spot for revellers in the country – but getting an entry does not come cheap.

With chic interiors, gorgeous lighting and lavish amenities, creators expect the multi-storey nightclub to become the epicentre of the country’s evolving arts and music scene.

The place also boasts multiple studio spaces, dining areas and production rooms equipped with recording booths.


Talented DJs and music producers walk inside the club to play gigs for Saudi youth who had been barred from partying – even in private spaces – for decades.

The club is even expected to attract foreign tourists visiting the country who until now had nowhere to go for parties.

Ramadan Alharatani, CEO of the company behind the venue, told Arab News: “We see Beast House becoming a cornerstone of Riyadh’s music scene, a place where creativity is nurtured and talents from the local and international scenes can grow.

“Our vision is to revolutionise the way music is experienced in the region by fostering connections in the creative community through the power of music.”

“We’ve been spreading the word, giving people the lowdown on what members’ clubs are really all about. We’ve rolled out a few sneak-peek events to hook them on the experience, and we’re connecting with creative trailblazers to grow the right community.”


Saudi DJ Tarek anTabi who previously had to travel abroad to perform his sets told The Times: “[The club] means the world to me,” after finally being able to show his music skills in his own country.

However, getting into the exclusive club does not come cheap: the lowest annual membership of the country’s first nightclub costs a whopping £1,900.

But Saudi people with deep pockets have an option to pay some £2,800 to squeeze out the top benefits.

One of the women visiting the club was Nouf, who admitted to having felt tempted to leave the country before the subtle social reforms – including a bit more freedom for women – came into force.

“It’s a new life, we’re born again. Especially as women,” she said while entering the club with her friend.

The club is reportedly backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund as well as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – who is racing to put Saudi Arabia on the global stage with his maddening projects like NEOM and the Line.

While the exclusive party spot offers everything top-notch, alcohol still remains forbidden from the venue – and strict bouncers have been hired especially to enforce the no-booze rule.

Instead, guests can choose from the vast menu of mocktails.

Alcohol, which is considered indecent in the Islamic faith, has been banned in the conservative country since the 1950s.

What happened to Saudi Arabia’s strict conservative rules?

By Sayan Bose, Foreign News Reporter

GONE are the days when women were forced to cover themselves from head to toe and partying was a crime in the conservative Islamic state.

But why such a drastic change?

Saudi Arabia’s young Prince Mohammed bin Salman is swiftly working to appeal and deliver to the country’s younger generation which makes up the majority of the country’s current population.

He seems to want to ascend the royal throne while having the back of Saudi Arabia’s youth.

And what they want is more jobs, more entertainment, and a space where they can live freely – at least to a certain degree.

While women are still required to dress modestly – which includes them not wearing tight-fitting clothing and see-through materials – the monarchy has somewhat relaxed the dress code in recent years after removing the law to wear abaya in public.

Changes in both attitudes and law enforcement came when King Salman “stripped the religious police of arrest powers, removing the enforcers of the Saudi dress code”, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Women have now gained the right to drive and are allowed to go to movie theatres and other entertainment centres – including the country’s first nightclub.

While Saudi Arabia is considered one of the world’s most gender-segregated countries, the nation’s conservative gender rules are also changing.

In December 2019, restaurants were no longer required to have separate entrances for men and women, and some ceased to enforce segregation.

And now men and women are even allowed to party together.

Apart from appealing to the young population, the ambitious prince also wants to make Saudi’s economy more independent of its oil business – and attract more foreign investments.

He also wants to put the country on the global stage with his maddening projects like NEOM and the Line.

Just recently, the Islamic country lifted the ban on alcohol for a selected band of non-muslim expats – mostly diplomats – in a dramatic break from the nationwide prohibition that has been in place since 1952.

A Lebanese businessman dining in a French restaurant told The Guardian: “This country keeps on surprising us.”

Another expert in the region said: “This is one more step in normalising government sanction of alcohol in defined settings.”

Despite the Saudi’s bid to become a little less conservative, the absolute monarchy still restricts almost all political rights and civil liberties.

A strong surveillance of the public still exists
Dissent against the authorities is met with a harsh response
Women from religious minorities still face extreme discrimination
The country is accused of exploiting a large part of its expat labour force that works day and night to maintain the city’s glitzy backdrop

1Sharon:
Well, Islam can be considering a political ideology...

Op’s moronic reporting says nothing about Islam so I don’t understand why you need to interpret it as some religious ideology. There’s nothing political about ops post but you seem to need to chime in your bias against Islam. It’s uncalled for and disappointing to be honest because I had respect for you. It is what it is though because we hate what we hate.

1Sharon:
Northern Nigerian Muslims left the group....

Saudi Arabia is the custodian of Islam. Nigerian Muslims, continue killing for Allah, you hear?

You need to separate politics and religion.

Stevenbright:
Ohhh, I see.


On the flip side, I am interested in the Chinese analogy you made.

From Wikipedia, the Sex ratio of the Chinese is as follows and it doesn't seems to correlate with yours.

At birth: 1.11 male to female (2020 est.)
65 and over: 0.90 male to female (2020 est.)

Wikipedia isn’t a good resource to start with.

From the news and current debates, china is struggling to undo the one child policy. It’s currently struggling with a new generation that no longer wants to take part in government strategies.

You have 20-30 years olds who have tapped out of societal expectations. Men and women no longer want to marry or procreate because they see through the scam.

Men and women in their 20/30s want to remain single rather than to procreate due to poverty. There are more men to women to begin with due to the 1 child policy; while the women are enjoying feminism and freedom of expectations.

They are inviting African men to entice their women into procreation and the men who can afford to leave are seeking out white women to procreate with.m;it’s coming to the end of the china we knew. Imagine a 1 billion population reduced to half by 2/3 generations due to the 1 child policy!

she go sabi knack well well

Why are you gae? 😒

Stevenbright:
Hello, all your points on the issue of discuss are cool. But you left out an important aspect of it, which I considered the most deciding factor in all of these. It is the fact that she is not ready for a serious relationship.

If she were ready for a serious relationship with the guy, she would have got a clear head to be able to see through some of her red flags by herself.

My brother, with us women it’s ALWAYS complicated. She could be ready or not ready but the deciding factor is always “is he the right man?.”

I think the things that confuse her outside of love, outside of being ready, is the “is he right for her “ question. That’s what’s happening here.

She loves him, she thinks he could fit into her plans for the future outside her expectations (to work , live and explore post education) but he’s so different to what she expected.

Women love drama and that’s our downfall. But if we sum it up; she is not ready for this particular man and his particular situation! For those reasons she has to abort mission. But it’s her decision in the end.

The sad reality is she came here looking for an answer but we’ll just confuse her more 😂😂😂

Sharon999:
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate

You’re welcome sis; Just follow your heart and put your trust in God 🫶

Sharon999:
For his tribe, I do not have any issue.

On his stance on religion, I would've preferred we were on the same footing though. But since he has no issues with me practicing my religion, it's fine.

And for his father, I don't have any issue with this too. It's just my parents could be a hard nut to crack when it comes to religion.

Obviously Religion is important to you and your family. If you have an unspoken understanding about religion in your home then you should honour that.

I’m Muslim and I would never bring home a man from another religion because I don’t want to compromise my relationship with my family. They probably wouldn’t fight me but I would definitely be breaking an unspoken agreement.

Forget what others say, religion is an important part of life for many people. Above all things follow your heart (you want to end the relationship it seems) and then let your parents have the last say.

I can honestly tell you from the many years I’ve walked this planet, going against the grain never ends happily. It’s better to follow the path well trodden than to try and create a new path.

Life is hard as it is and if you can find as many things in common with your husband as you can then it will make things so much easier.

Sharon999:
Thank you very much

Our parents are more human than we give them credit for. Now if you have a problem with the things you listed then that’s a different story! How do you feel about the things you’ve listed? Can you live with them? Can you accept him as he is without ever changing?

ibechris:
U guys breed poverty in this nation at every bad decision u take.

After school,pls go and find a job.

Marriage shouldn't be the first thing u should be talking at this age and time.

If u marry immediately after school without any obvious things doing,e go hard oh. Such marriages usually stand on one leg.

Learn from the Chinese...and that is why they are doing well as a people.

Please! The Chinese are soon to be extinct in one generation time! These are the people where half of their population can’t find a girlfriend let alone a wife.

The things you find important (material) is actually not that important in the grand scheme of things.

The Chinese are going from 1 billion to less than half their population in 2/3 generations. This is their last generation. Stop romanticising money because humans need to procreate in order to exist.

The only mature thing to do in this situation is to see it through to the end. Talk to your mother first and express your love for the man. Stand your ground like an adult and explain to her the relationship you have and what you want.

Tell her your fears and that you would respect her wish but that she should also gives you the same mercy. Then hear your mum out and work from there.

Sometimes we live in our heads and reality is often different from our thoughts and feelings. Play it out to the end. Don’t end things on a hypothetical scenario that you concocted in your head.
