The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia celebrates tomorrow, (September 23), the 78th anniversary of the country's National Day. On this day, King Abdulaziz announced the unification of the country under the name of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the basis of the Holy Quran and Sunnah (Prophet's sayings) and on the path of the venerable forefathers. The First Saud state was established in 1157 AH when Imam Mohammed bin Saud decided to support the call of Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul-Wahab which was aimed at returning to the proper Islam. In 1240 AH, the Second Saudi state was established under the leadership of Imam Turki bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Saud who proceeded ahead on the path of his forefathers. In 1319 AH, a new era began when King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman al-Saud retook Riyadh and laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the basis of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. --MORE
