Following the historical meeting between Imam Muhammad ibn Saud and Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab in 1744, the First Saudi State was founded on a basic adherence to the Islamic creed. The ensuing Second Saudi State followed the same basic principles. When King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz embarked on his enlightened project to build a strong state, he was determined to follow his predecessors. He founded a strong modern state, which was able to maintain security throughout its vast area. This state preserved the rights of its subjects by adhering to the book of God and the traditions (Sunna) of His Prophet (PBUH). Its generosity was extended to the Arab and Islamic world as well. It has had a great impact on international politics because of its just and firm stand and its work towards global peace based on justice for the people of the world. The reigns of his sons Saud, Faisal, Khalid, Fahd and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King ‘Abd Allah are a continuation of this straight path. January 23, 1999 marked the one-hundredth anniversary (in the Islamic calendar) of King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz’s entry to Riyadh and the founda- tion of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Through continuous struggle and construction, he took the country and its people from poor circum- stances to a wholly different reality. Through the guidance of God, true unity based on Islam filled the hearts of the people with faith and loyalty that culminated in the historical intertwining between the people and their leader as history marched on. Our commemoration of the events of that day is a reminder to thank God for His blessings and also a reminder that the country of Saudi Arabia strives towards a unified direction in life learned from the book of God and the traditions of the Prophet (PBUH).
