Is Saudi Arabia ruled by Shariah Law?

[afriend]

He said: “Imams (rulers) after me who do not abide by my guidance and Sunnah. Some of their men will have Satan’s heart in a human’s body.”

Hudhayfah said: “What should I do, O Messenger of Allah, if I live to see that time?”

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “You should listen and obey them even if (the ruler smites your back and takes your wealth.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]

So, now we just carry on as usual? I just can't understand how that can be...The monarchy will carry on and it will always be the same?

I hope for a change in Saudi Arabia. Insha'Allah He will remove this ruling by monarchy and He will replace it with a khalifah.

Or else someone needs to democractically oppose the government (this does not include an uproar or a rebellion)..Is this wrong what I am saying?

Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world in general does need reform - but how do we go about bringing reform? You are correct that we do not use uproar or rebellion but what we use a productive methodology of education and advising that is what the scholars have always done and that is what they are still doing. Walhamdulilah.

Is Saudia Arabia ruled by Shariah law? This has to be the wrong ruling right?
I'm truly confused because I thought Saudi Arabia was the one and only country as of right now that rules by the Shariah Law. Please can someone explain this to me.

Saudi arabia is not the only country that has shariah. Taliban is pure shariah!

Taliban is not a country and many Taliban are living in non-Muslim Countries. Plus not all that call themselves Taliban are Taliban.

My post was that offensive that it had to be deleted?

Your post was deleted because this thread is not about the Taliban. I believe that the answer to the original question is quite clear by now and therefore this thread can be closed to prevent us going further off-topic.

You'd think the city that has the Kabaa in would at least be setting an example

While the country is not perfect, let us not forget the good things that it is doing like its propagation of Islam and catering for millions of Muslims every year.
