Khalid Mohammad bin Muslim Al-Arawi Al-Juhani (Arabic: وقع خالد بن محمد مسلم الجهني‎‎, also known as Mu'awiyah al-Madani) was a Saudi member of al-Qaeda who appeared cradling a rifle, in a 2002 videotape in which he promised a "martyrdom" attack. In 2003, the Saudi government identified al-Juhani as one of twelve dead perpetrators of the Riyadh compound bombings based on DNA found at the scene.

Al-Juhani was once a bodyguard for Osama Bin Laden. He fled Afghanistan, along with Saleh al-Oufi, in late 2001 following the American invasion.

On January 14, 2002, a series of five videocassetes were recovered from the rubble of the destroyed home of Mohammad Atef outside of Kabul, Afghanistan. The tapes showed Abderraouf Jdey, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Muhammad Sa'id Ali Hasan, Abd Al-Rahim, and al-Juhani vowing to die as martyrs. It was the first time authorities had reason to suspect him of any wrongdoing.NBC News said the videos had been recorded after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

After the tape was discovered, and the Saudi newspaper Al-Watan contacted his family members, they said he spent three years fighting in Afghanistan from the time he was 18 years old, and another three years fighting in Chechnya. They believed he had been left mentally ill "as a result of pressure he faced during the [Afghan] war". He fled Afghanistan during the American invasion, and moved to Yemen, before moving to Riyadh in 2003. In Saudi Arabia, Karim el-Mejjati agreed to allow al-Juhani to live with his family. He tried to find a wife for al-Juhani, who was not supposed to be involved in any more fighting.
