In the center of the Arabian Peninsula, specifically in the region of Najd, was born Mohammed bin Saud the Elder, who would later become the founder of the First Saudi State.
Mohammed bin Saud was born into the Al Muqrin family, one of the branches of the Banu Hanifa tribe, which traces its lineage to the Bakr bin Wa’il tribe. He grew up in the city of Diriyah, which at that time was an important commercial and cultural center in the region.
In 1745 CE, Mohammed bin Saud assumed the emirate of Diriyah, succeeding his father Saud bin Mohammed bin Muqrin. During his reign, Diriyah witnessed a great economic and cultural renaissance, as he worked on developing the city’s infrastructure and encouraging trade and agriculture.
However, the greatest achievement in Mohammed bin Saud’s history was his alliance with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab, the founder of the Wahhabi movement. In 1744 CE, the Diriyah Agreement was signed, which stipulated a political and religious alliance between the two parties. This alliance would become the nucleus for establishing the First Saudi State.
In 1745 CE, Mohammed bin Saud declared the establishment of the First Saudi State and made Diriyah its capital. During his reign, which lasted until 1765 CE, he succeeded in unifying most of the regions of Najd under the banner of the new state.
Mohammed bin Saud died in 1765 CE, leaving behind a great historical legacy. He had founded a strong and stable state in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula and laid the foundations for unifying the region under one banner.
In conclusion, Mohammed bin Saud the Elder remains a distinguished historical figure who made a significant contribution to shaping the history of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thanks to his keen vision and wise leadership, he was able to establish a strong and stable state and lay the foundation for what would later become the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
