'''Abdul Aziz Al Saud, King of Saudi Arabia''' (15 January 1876<ref>The birthdate of Abdul Aziz has been a source of debate. It is generally accepted as 1876, although a few sources give it as 1880. A primary reason stated in Robert Lacey's book "The Kingdom", which gives a clear statement on the reasons why 1876 is more reasonable, is that a leading Saudi historian found records that show Abdul Aziz in 1891 greeting an important tribal delegation. The historian reasoned that a nine or ten-year-old child (as given by the 1880 birthdate) would have been too young to be allowed to greet such a delegation, while an adolescent of 14 or 15 (as given by the 1876 date) would likely have been allowed. The major reason, though, is that when Lacey interviewed one of Ibn Saud's sons prior to writing the book, the son recalled that his father often laughed at records showing his birthdate to be 1880. Ibn Saud's response to such records was that "I swallowed four years of my life."</ref> – 9 November 1953) ({{lang-ar|عبد العزيز آل سعود}}) was the first [[King of Saudi Arabia|monarch]] of The Third Saudi State known as [[Saudi Arabia]]. Of his full name Abdul Aziz bin Abdur Rahman Al Saud<ref> ''Current Biography 1943'', pp330-34 </ref>, he was commonly referred to as '''ibn Saud'''<ref>'''ibn Saud''' meaning son of Saud and it is a sort of title borne by previous heads of the House of Saud, similar to a [[Scottish clan]] chief's title of "''the'' MacGregor" or "''the'' MacDougall". When used without comment it refers solely to Abdul Aziz. (See Robert Lacey, ''The Kingdom'' (NY, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1981), p. 15). '''Al Saud''', with a similar meaning (''family of Saud'') may be used at the end of the full name, while ''ibn Saud'' should sometimes be used alone.</ref>.

He was born in [[Riyadh]] into the [[House of Saud|House of Su'ūd]] (commonly transliterated Saud), which had followed the [[Salafi]] movement of Islam since the 18th century and had historically maintained dominion over the interior highlands of Arabia known as the [[Nejd]] (see [[First Saudi State]] and [[Second Saudi State]]). Beginning with the reconquest of his family's ancestral home city of [[Riyadh]] in 1902, Ibn Saud consolidated his control over the [[Nejd]] in 1922, conquered the [[Hejaz]] in 1925. The nation was founded and unified as [[Saudi Arabia]] in 1932. His later reign saw the discovery of [[Economy of Saudi Arabia|petroleum in Saudi Arabia]] in 1938, and the beginning of large-scale exploitation of that resource after World War II.

Ibn Saud was the father of many children, including all [[List of kings of Saudi Arabia|kings of Saudi Arabia]] that have ruled after him.

== Loss and reclamation of power ==
Abdul Aziz Al Saud was born in [[Riyadh]] in the region of [[Nejd]] in central Arabia in 1876. In 1890 Ibn Saud followed his family into exile in [[Kuwait]] following the conquest of the family's lands by the rival dynasty of [[Al Rashid]]. He spent the remainder of his childhood in Kuwait. Abd al-Rahman had a stipend from the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman government]] of 60 [[Turkish lira]]s a month and Abdul Aziz went on several profitable raids in Nejd as he grew to adulthood. He attended the daily majlis of the emir of Kuwait, [[Mubarak Al-Sabah]], from whom he learned much about the world. However, the family's home in Kuwait was one of the simplest and cramped by five sons and at least one daughter.

In the Spring of 1901, Ibn Saud and some relatives — including a half-brother, Mohammed, and several cousins — set out on a raiding expedition targeting for the most part tribes associated with the Rashidis. As booty was abundant,with many horses and camels stolen, the raiding party grew to around 200 as tribesmen loyal to the Sauds joined the party. In the Fall, with [[Ramadan]] approaching, the group, reduced in number by defections, holed up in the [[Jabrin Oasis]]. It may have been only then that Ibn Saud decided to attack [[Riyadh]] and regain his family's heritage. On the night of 15 January 1902, together with a party of some sixty, including seven relatives and some slaves, he recaptured Riyadh with only twenty; the rest were guarding the camels in an isolated oasis. They had been told to escape if the venture failed. The [[Rashidi]] governor of the city, [[Ajlan]], was killed as he fled the attack by Ibn Saud in front of the fort gate. Ibn Saud was considered a "magnetic" leader, and following the capture of Riyadh many former supporters of the [[House of Saud]] once again rallied to his support.

In the two years following his dramatic seizure of Riyadh, Ibn Saud recaptured almost half of Nejd from the Rashidis due to the fact that most of the people of najed were sympathizing with Ibn Saud. In 1904, however, [[Ibn Rashid]] appealed to the [[Ottoman Empire]] for assistance in defeating the House of Saud. The Ottomans sent troops to Arabia, setting Ibn Saud on the defensive. The armies of the [[House of Saud]] suffered a major defeat on 15 June 1904, but his forces soon regrouped and returned to the offensive as the Turkish troops left the country due to supply problems.

Ibn Saud finally consolidated control over the Nejd and the eastern coast of Arabia in 1912 with the help of an organized and well-trained army. In that year he founded the [[Ikhwan]], a militant religious organization which was to assist in his later conquests. More broadly, he revived his dynasty's traditional alliance with the [[Salafi]] [[ulema]] ("scholars"). In the same year, he instituted an [[agrarian]] policy to settle the [[nomadic pastoralism|nomadic pastoralist]] [[bedouins]] into colonies, and to dismantle their tribal organizations in favor of allegiance to the Ikhwan. During [[World War I]] the [[British government]] attempted to cultivate favor with Ibn Saud via its political agent, Captain [[William Shakespear (explorer)|William Shakespear]], but this was abandoned after Shakespear's death at the [[Battle of Jarrab]]. Instead, the British transferred support to Ibn Saud's rival [[Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca|Sharif Hussein bin Ali]], leader of the [[Hejaz]], with whom the Saudis were almost constantly at war. Despite this, the British entered into a treaty in December 1915 (the "[[Treaty of Darin]]") which made the lands of the House of Saud a British protectorate. In exchange, Ibn Saud pledged to again make war against Ibn Rashid, who was an ally of the Ottomans.

Ibn Saud did not, however, immediately make war against Ibn Rashid, despite a steady supply of weapons and cash (£5,000 [[Pound Sterling|Sterling]] per month) from the British. He argued that the payment he received was insufficient to adequately wage war against an enemy as powerful as [[Ibn Rashid]]. In 1920, however, Ibn Saud finally marched again against the Rashidis, extinguishing their dominion in 1922. The defeat of the Rashidis doubled the territory of the Ibn Saud, and he was able to negotiate a new treaty with the British at Uqair in 1922, in which Britain recognized many of his territorial gains while in exchange Ibn Saud agreed not to attempt to expand his state's borders into British protectorates on the Persian Gulf coast and in Iraq. British subsidies continued until 1924.

In 1925 the Sauds captured the holy city of [[Mecca]] from [[Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca|Sharif Hussein bin Ali]], ending 700 years of [[Hashemite]] tutelage of the Islamic holy places. On 21st April 1925 Sauds, destroyed one of the most holiest place of Islam, [[Al-Baqi'|Jannat-ul-Baqi]] and Jannat-ul-Mualla. On 10 January 1926, Ibn Saud was proclaimed King of the [[Hejaz]] in the [[Al-Masjid al-Haram|Great Mosque]] at [[Mecca]]. On 20 May 1927, following the defeat of Hussein, the [[United Kingdom|British]] government signed the [[Treaty of Jeddah]], which abolished the Darin protection agreement and recognized the independence of the Hejaz and Najd, covering much of what is today Saudi Arabia, with the Al Saud as its rulers. At this point, Ibn Saud changed his title from Sultan of Nejd to King of Nejd. Initially the two parts of his dominion (Nejd in the east and Hejaz in the west) were administered separately.

From 1927 to 1932 Ibn Saud continued to consolidate power throughout the [[Arabian Peninsula]]. In March 1929 he defeated elements of the [[Ikhwan]], which had disobeyed his orders to cease raiding and had invaded [[Iraq]] against his wishes, at the [[Battle of Sbilla]]. In 1932, having conquered most of the Peninsula, Ibn Saud renamed his dominions "Saudi Arabia" and proclaimed himself "King of Saudi Arabia".

It should be noted that the King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud had very strong ties with Prince Sheikh Rashed bin Prince Khuzai bin Durgham, from the Al Fraihat tribe, one of the most influential and royal roots family during the Ottomans Empire. The tribe had provision in the east of Jordan before the arrival of the family of Sharif Hussein of Jordan. Furthermore, Prince Rashed Al Khuzai was known as a ruler of Emirate of Ajloun until the year 1922, which included all the present territory of Jordan in addition to parts from Palestine.

It should also be noted that the Ottoman Sultan had introduced Emirate of Ajloun since the year 1517 to manage the area of the Levant through the Al Fraihat tribe, due to its ability to influence events around the Levant region at that period of time. King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud provided strong direct support and protection to the Jordanian fighter Prince Rashed Al Khuzai, his family and his followers, and hosted them in Saudi Arabia since before 1937. This would come as a direct result of the revolution of Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, and in direct support of Prince Rashed Al Khuzai.

These nobles lead most of the Jordanian national clans loyal to Prince Rashed to declare a direct confrontation against the Jordanian regime, especially against King Abdullah and his coalition with the British. These groups fought against Prince Rashed Al Khuzai, attacking his positions and killing many of the rebels loyal to the Jordanian Prince Al-Khuzai, forcing him to leave the land beyond Jordan, to Saudi Arabia. This forced Prince Rashed Al Khuzai, his family and a group of his followers to leave Jordan and move to Saudi Arabia, where Prince Al Khuzai lived for several years in the hospitality of the late King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud.

== Oil and the rule of Ibn Saud ==
[[Petroleum|Oil]] was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938, and Ibn Saud, through his adviser [[St. John Philby]], granted substantial authority over [[ARAMCO#History|Saudi oil fields to American oil companies]].

Saud forced many nomadic tribes to settle down and abandon "petty wars" and vendettas. He also began to fight crime in Saudi Arabia, particularly crimes against [[pilgrim]]s visiting the holy cities of [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]].

==Foreign wars==
Ibn Saud positioned Saudi Arabia as neutral in [[World War II]], but was generally considered to favor the [[Allies]].<ref name="autogenerated1">A Country Study: Saudi Arabia. Library of Congress Call Number DS204 .S3115 1993. Chapter 5. World War II and Its Aftermath</ref> However, in 1938, when an attack on a main British pipeline in the [[Kingdom of Iraq]] was found to be connected to the [[Nazi Germany|German]] Ambassador, Dr. [[Fritz Grobba]], Ibn Saud provided Grobba with refuge.<ref>Time Magazine, 26 May 1941</ref> It was reported that Ibn Saud had been "on the outs" with the British since 1937.<ref>Time Magazine, 3 July 1939</ref>

In 1948, Saud participated in the [[1948 Arab-Israeli war|Arab-Israeli War]]. The contribution of Saudi Arabia was generally considered token.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

==Family and succession==
[[Line of succession to the Saudi Arabian Throne|Succession to Saudi Arabia]]'s throne has been a process that has, to a large extent, excluded all but the senior members of the [[Al Saud]]. Male progeny, with tenure in senior government positions, whose mothers were [[King Abdul Aziz bin Saud]]'s wives and from prominent peninsula based families and tribes, and who have shown both the willingness and ability to build the necessary consensus from other wings in the family are, in theory, the most eligible candidates. Al Saud are considered to be the richest family in the world.

The number of children that Ibn Saud fathered are unknown. One source indicates that he had 37 sons. His number of wives is put at 22,<ref>http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/templateC05.php?CID=2526</ref> They include: (names of kings in bold)

[[Saud of Saudi Arabia|King Saud]] succeeded his father as regent of Saudi Arabia in 1953, three months after being appointed Prime Minister by his father. In 1964 King Saud was deposed by the [[Saudi Council of Ministers]] and succeeded by [[Faisal of Saudi Arabia|King Faisal]], another of Ibn Saud's sons. Faisal was followed by three further sons, [[Khalid of Saudi Arabia|King Khalid]], [[Fahd of Saudi Arabia|King Fahd]] and [[Abdullah of Saudi Arabia|King Abdullah]]. According to the Saudi Basic Law of 1992, the King of Saudi Arabia must be a son or grandson of Ibn Saud.
