The Saudi Dynasty "Al Saud"

The First Saudi State It was established in the year 1744 (1157 H.) when Sheikh Mohammed Ibn Abdul Wahab settled in Diriyah and Prince Mohammed Ibn Saud agreed to support and espouse his cause, with a view to cleansing the Islamic faith from distortions.

The Second Saudi State It began in 1824 (1240 H), when Imam Turki Ibn Abdullah captured the city of Riyadh, liberating the entire Najd from the armies of Mohammed Ali Pasha.

The Third Saudi State Twenty-one-year-old Abdul Aziz Bin Abdul Rahman Al-Saud left Kuwait in 1901, determined to recapture all of the territory once held by his forefathers and to extend his protection over the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah. In a daring battle he recaptured Riyadh in 1902. This event marks the beginning of the formation of the modern state of Saudi Arabia. After establishing Riyadh [in Najd] as his headquarters, Abdul Aziz proceeded, over the following decades, to unite the different regions into one nation.
