If you don't know, let's start the history of Saudi Arabian royal family
In 1932 AD, King Abdul Aziz named the entire territory under his control as Saudi Arabia after his dynasty. Immediately declared himself king and started the monarchy. Once upon a time, Jajiratul Arabia, including Saudi Arabia, was under the rule of the Turkish Sultans of Istanbul for hundreds of years. On the other hand, Najd, the eastern region of present-day Saudi Arabia, was under the control of the Saud dynasty for a long time.
When the Turks drove them out, they took refuge in Kuwait via Qatar, Bahrain. In 1902, King Abdul Aziz came from Kuwait with some allies and captured Riyadh. It took about 10 years to overcome the odds with the Turkish forces. Then King Abdul Aziz built a huge armed force.
Jazeera-tul-Arab became unchallenged by receiving arms from its close ally, the British. As a result, the young brave son began to occupy small and large territories with the help of King Faisal. Later, after organizing the occupied territories, he came in 1932 and introduced the name of Saudi Arabia and the monarchy. He introduced the rule of law with a strict hand.
In the meantime, when King Abdul Aziz passed away in 1953, his first son Saud became king. In 1964, King Faisal, the next son of King Abdul Aziz, took over the state power in the greater interest of the vast empire due to the lack of Saud competence. During the reign of King Faisal, extreme disagreements began between the religious groups of the country with the introduction of radio-television to keep pace with the world. On the other hand, King Faisal played an active role for Egypt in the Egypt-Israel war in 1973, and later the oil embargo became a nightmare for King Faisal. He was killed in 1975 AD by his step brother’s son in a conspiracy of the western world.
When Khaled died in 1982, Prince Fahad became king. She is the daughter of Sudairi family. She is the ninth wife of King Abdul Aziz. 13 children were born in this house. Among them, 7 sons had performed state duties. They are called Sudairi Seven. Sudairi Seven’s elder brother is Fahad. During Fahd’s long reign, Saudi Arabia saw a tide of development. Especially the renovation of the holy Medina is his immortality. Where only 40,000 to 50,000 pilgrims offered prayers, the streets would have been full as there was no capacity. Presently 7 to 8 lakh pilgrims are performing prayers and worship in air-conditioning system very comfortably. It is a beautiful building in the heart of the world. Another contribution of his is memorable. That is, provision of Zamzam drinking water for millions of Hajj-Umrah pilgrims in two Haram Sharifs.
The massive extension to the west of the Holy Masjid al-Haram is also his work. It was he who took the title of ‘Khademul Haramainish Sharifine’ instead of the title of Badshahi and gained self-satisfaction by promoting it to the world. However, during the reign of King Fahd, American soldiers were leaning on the soil of Saudi Arabia during the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, a painful event of his time. King Fahd became ill after the death of his worthy son. In such a situation, Prince Abdullah had to perform state duties. Finally, when King Fahd passed away in 2005, Prince Abdullah gained full royal power. Whether for reasons of state strategy or otherwise, King Abdul Aziz married the daughters of various clan chiefs.
During the reign of King Abdullah, there was a huge development in Saudi Arabia. Especially the rebuilding of Masjid al-Haram in the holy Mecca. The large-scale expansion to the north and the re-extension of Masjid al-Nababi in the Holy Medina are worth mentioning. When he passed away in 2015, the youngest child of Sudairi Seven and the 25th son of King Abdul Aziz became King Salman. Within two years of his tenure, Saudi Arabia will be mentioned for various events and reforms. Especially going to war with Yemen. In this, the removal of Prince Muqrin, the son of a Yemeni wife, the removal of his brother Nayef’s son Muhammad and the appointment of his son Muhammad bin Salman as vice-crown to the prince, etc., are significant events in Saudi Arabia in addition to the royal family.King Salman has also changed foreign policy in just two years since assuming power. In particular, the neighboring Arab state cut ties with Qatar. Experts say that his son Muhammad is behind it.
The political situation in the Muslim world, especially in the Arab states, is very bad. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya are engaged in civil war. The severed ties with Qatar, the massive rise of Iran, and the direct war with Yemen to prevent Shiite supremacy are having a major impact on Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, the world is witnessing the power of Prince Muhammad bin Salman!
