Muhammad Abdul Wahhab in the 17th

The relation between Muhammad bin Salman and Saudi funding needs to be put in the context of a social and political pact made between his ancestor (King Muhammad ibn Saud) and influential Muslim cleric Muhammad Abdul Wahhab in the 17th century. Muhammad ibn Saud (1727–1765), who controlled Al-Diriya area on the outskirts of Riyadh, the capital city, socially and politically protected Muhammad Abdul Wahab, while the latter provided religious legitimacy for Muhammad ibn Saud’s rule and policies in return.[24] The pact contributed to the expansion of Muhammad ibn Saud’s rule beyond the Al-Diriya area which resulted in their control over modern-day Saudi Arabia. While certain aspects of the pact have continued till this day, others have changed. สล็อต
