Family history of Emir of Nadschd<\/h2>\n

The Emirs of Najd \u2013 The Path of the House of Saud<\/p>\n

The history of the House of Saud begins in the Wadi Hanifa in the heart of Najd. In 1446, Mani ibn Rabia al-Muraidi, a great-grandson of the family, founded the settlement of Dir\u02bfiyya. His descendants ruled there for generations and secured trade and pilgrimage routes. From this regional emirate, Muhammad ibn Saud formed the first Saudi state in 1727. Dir\u02bfiyya became the capital, the Salwa Palace the seat of government.<\/p>\n

Muhammad linked political order with the religious reform movement of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. His successors Abd al-Aziz, Saud, and Abdullah extended their rule far beyond Nadschd. In 1818, an Ottoman-Egyptian army conquered Dir\u02bfiyya and ended the first state. However, the family found its way back: Turki ibn Abdullah won Riyadh in 1824 and founded the second Saudi state. Internal disputes and the rise of the Rashids of Ha\u2019il led to Imam Abd al-Rahman going into exile with his family in 1891.<\/p>\n

His son Abd al-Aziz, later known as Ibn Saud in the West, returned in 1902 with a small following and took over Riyadh. From there, he gradually united Nadschd, al-Hasa, Ha\u2019il, and the Hedschas. Initially, he bore the title Emir, later Sultan of Nadschd; in 1932, he declared the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The discovery of large oil reserves opened up new opportunities for the young state in terms of administration, infrastructure, and international relations.<\/p>\n

After Abd al-Aziz, his sons Saud, Faisal, Khalid, Fahd and Abdullah ruled the country. Since 2015, King Salman ibn Abd al-Aziz has been at the helm; Crown Prince Mohammed ibn Salman is already part of the next generation. This spans a family history that stretches from a 15th-century oasis settlement to the present day. The mud buildings of at-Turaif in Dir\u02bfiyya, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserve the vivid centerpiece of this long narrative.<\/p>\n

Emir of Nadschd family coat of arms<\/h2>\n

The composition is attributed to the House of Saud and the Emirate of Najd. Palm trees and crossed Arab swords draw on the dynastic and later state symbolism of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

In emerald green, with two crossed silver Arabic sabers with golden handles, a golden date palm tree. Above the shield is a white-gold Emir rank insignia.<\/p>\n

In 1727, Muhammad ibn Saud founded the first Saudi state in Diriyya. His descendants again ruled the second Saudi state and, under Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud, united Nadschd with other territories to form the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which was proclaimed in 1932.<\/p>\n
