The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is preparing to commemorate a milestone that dates back to its founding as it approaches a historic event. The first Saudi State was founded on Thursday, February 22, which will go down in history as a monument to the country's lasting tradition and its basic origins in the Emirate of Diriyah.
February 22 has been formally declared a National Day of Remembrance by Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, in an act that emphasises the profound respect for the past. This day is a reflection of the momentous event that took place in 1727, when Imam Muhammad Bin Saud established the groundwork for the Arabian Peninsula to become a centre of stability and unity.
The royal proclamation declares February to be a month of introspection, honouring the beginning of Imam Muhammad Bin Saud's rule and his crucial part in creating the first Saudi State. This period, which started in the middle of the 18th century, was distinguished by its adherence to the teachings of the Holy Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Sunnah, which led the country towards security and unity in the face of a divided and discordant environment.
A tangible feeling of excitement permeates the air as the Kingdom gets ready to celebrate its first Founding Day. The three-day festival is expected to be a great celebration of Saudi Arabia's rich history and its three-century journey of statehood, bringing together locals and foreign guests for an impressive display of cultural displays, concerts, and sky shows that will light up the Saudi skies.
