Author(s) Faryal Hashmi

Abstract Abstract This study aspires to analyze the enigma of Saudi Arab-Iran rivalry and its impact on OIC. The conflict and rival relations between Iran and Saudi Arab is increasing day by day. These two states where have so many difference, shares so much in common too. Both states are in the same region of Middle East and a neighbor to each other. Moreover, with the effort and agreement of both states, they had voted for the common platform of Muslim world. So, in 1969 along with other 26 states the Organization of Islamic Conference was formulated later named as Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The platform was made after criminal arson of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem. The organization was originally designed for Muslim solidarity, mainly protecting the Islamic holy sites, supporting the Palestinian cause, eliminating racial discrimination, and cultivating economic cooperation. The hostility among the two nasty rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia has surrounded a number of Middle Eastern countries and many regional and international Islamic organizations, like, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Due to Iran-Saudi Arab rivalry the neutral platform of OIC lost its strength and become the advocate of dominant powers. The work is discussing the linkage of power seeking dominant players of Middle East and its effects on OIC. Keywords: Efficacy of OIC, Power Politics, Middle East, Saudi Arab-Iran, Rivalry
