THE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia traces its origins to the state established in Arabia in 1750.

Over the next 150 years, the fortunes of the Saud family rose and fell several times as Saudi rulers contended with Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, and other Arabian families for control on the peninsula.
In 1902, Abdul Aziz Bin Saud captured Riyadh, the Al-Saud dynasty's ancestral capital, from the rival Al-Rashid family. Continuing his conquests, Abdul Aziz subdued Al-Ahsa, Al-Qatif, the rest of Nejd, and the Hejaz from 1913 to 1926. On January 8, 1926, Abdul Aziz Bin Saud became the King of Hejaz.

By the Treaty of Jeddah, signed on May 20, 1927, the United Kingdom recognized the independence of Abdul Aziz's realm, then known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd. In 1932, these regions were unified as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and gained recognition worldwide as a sovereign state. may God bless his soul – he has raised the bases of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the guidance of the Holy Koran and the Sunna of Prophet Mohammad Peace be upon Him .
