Imam Mohammed bin Saud is considered a pivotal figure in the history of the Kingdom, as he founded the First Saudi State following the historic agreement of Diriyah with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab. This agreement, which is considered a national covenant, established the foundations of unity and stability in the region. Historians say: “The Diriyah agreement was a turning point in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, as it laid the foundation for a state based on the principles of Islamic law and national unity.”
The founding of the First Saudi State represented a qualitative leap in the region’s history, as Imam Mohammed bin Saud succeeded in uniting scattered tribes under one banner, leading to the establishment of a strong and stable political entity. It is noted that this state continued for more than six decades, until its fall in 1233 AH (1818 AD), to rise again in the form of the Second Saudi State, then the Third, until reaching its current position as a modern and advanced state.
This national occasion is celebrated throughout the Kingdom, where events and activities are held that highlight the history and heritage of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Culture stated in its official statement: “Today we celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the First Saudi State, affirming the importance of this historic moment in building a bright future for our beloved homeland.”
It is worth noting that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, since its founding by King Abdulaziz Al Saud, has witnessed a qualitative leap in all fields, transforming from a tribal state to a modern state enjoying a prestigious position at the regional and international levels. Official statistics state: “The Kingdom’s gross domestic product reached 2.97 trillion Saudi riyals in 2022, reflecting the remarkable economic growth the country is witnessing.”
In conclusion, the anniversary of the founding of the First Saudi State by Imam Mohammed bin Saud remains a dear national occasion in the hearts of all Saudis. It is a reminder of the sacrifices of our ancestors and their determination to build a strong and stable homeland, and it is a call for all of us to continue the march toward achieving Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to make the Kingdom a leader in various fields.
