سافيتش يعود إلى ساحة المنافسة بعد غياب طويل

The Arabian Peninsula witnessed a significant historical event more than 270 years ago, marked by the establishment of the First Saudi State by Imam Muhammad bin Saud bin Muhammad bin Muqrin, the first ruler of the Al Saud family. Born in 1090 AH/1679 AD, Muhammad bin Saud assumed the emirate of Diriyah in 1139 AH/1727 AD after the death of his father, Saud Al Kabeer.

Muhammad bin Saud succeeded in unifying vast areas of Najd under the banner of Diriyah, making it the capital of his emirate. In 1157 AH/1744 AD, he signed a historic agreement with Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, laying the foundation for the First Saudi State, which ruled most of the Arabian Peninsula for over a century.

Muhammad bin Saud is considered a pivotal figure in Saudi history, as he laid the solid foundation for the modern Saudi state. Historians praised his political acumen and his ability to reconcile various tribes and factions in the region.

Historian Uthman bin Bishr described the Emir of Diriyah as: “A righteous, wise, resolute, and awe-inspiring man, who traveled extensively, was generous and praiseworthy, beloved by the people of his region, devoted to worship and charity, and constantly engaged in jihad for the sake of Allah.”

Muhammad bin Saud ruled Diriyah for 40 years, passing away in 1179 AH/1765 AD at the age of 89, succeeded by his son Abdulaziz as the Emir of Diriyah, continuing the journey of the First Saudi State founded by his father.

Muhammad bin Saud’s journey serves as a model of wise leadership and foresight, as he was able to establish a strong and unified state under highly complex political and social conditions. His legacy remains alive in the hearts of Saudis, embodying the values of unity, stability, and development that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strives to achieve in the modern era.

Saudi Arabia celebrated “Founding Day” today, which falls on February 22nd each year, to commemorate the historical establishment of the first Saudi state by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in 1727 AD.

Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, Advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Governor of the Makkah Region, affirmed that “Founding Day embodies the connection between citizens and their leaders, reflecting the deep historical roots of the Kingdom.” He added in his speech during the official celebration: “We celebrate today a day of pride and glory, the day when the state of faith and humanity was built, a state whose roots extend for three centuries of glory and prosperity.”

The official and popular celebrations included various events in all regions of the Kingdom, where streets and buildings were adorned with Saudi flags and green lights, and folkloric and artistic performances reflecting the authentic Saudi heritage were organized.

The celebration of Founding Day comes within the framework of the Saudi leadership’s keenness to enhance awareness of national history and deepen belonging to the homeland. King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, issued a royal decree in January 2022 making February 22nd of each year a day commemorating the founding of the Saudi state, called “Founding Day,” and making it an official holiday.

In conclusion, experts and analysts affirmed that celebrating Founding Day reflects the great interest the Kingdom attaches to its ancient history, and contributes to enhancing the feeling of pride and belonging among new generations, which contributes to building a more prosperous and flourishing future for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
