The Senior Scholars' Commission emphasized that Saudi Arabia's security and stability represents the security and stability of the Islamic world. In a statement issued on the occasion of the Kingdom's 86th National Day, the General Secretariat of the Commission asserted that the Kingdom is standing on the legacy, foundations and pillars that make it a distinct country in the entire world. "It is the country of the Two Holy Mosques and the first House of God established on the face of earth to make it as Qibla or direction of the Holy Kaaba to which Muslims all over the world turn at during their prayers. Our nation with its modern history since its foundation at the hands of the late King Abdul Aziz is an extension of that great history and commitment of the Eternal Message of the divine religion of Islam. The Commission stressed that Saudi Arabia interacts with the rest of the world with its unique approach of moderation and justice, and contributed in further consolidating the global community's stability and prosperity, thanks to the wise policies being pursued by the kings of this country ever since the era of the late King Abdul Aziz until the era of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman.
