King Salman: Unity and justice are the foundation upon which the Saudi state is built
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, affirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded on solid and firm pillars, the foundation of which is monotheism, the application of justice, and the gathering of the scattered under one banner, stressing that these principles paved the way for building a civilized state that enjoys security, stability, and prosperity.
Historical roots and unifying ranks
These pillars are rooted in the great efforts of the founding King, Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud—may God have mercy on him—and his loyal men. Before the unification of the Kingdom, the Arabian Peninsula was in a state of chaos, conflict, and fragmentation, with tribes and regions scattered and lacking central security. The unification project came to end a long era of conflicts, uniting the people of the nation under the banner of "There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God," transforming division into solid unity and fear into lasting security.
Justice as a way of life and governance
In discussing "justice," it's important to note that the Saudi state, from its inception through the second state to the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has adopted Islamic law as its constitution and guiding principle. Justice has not been merely a slogan, but a practical reality in the judiciary and governance, thus strengthening citizens' trust in their leadership and state institutions. This commitment to justice and equality for all has been the decisive factor in the state's continuity and resilience in the face of the various historical and political challenges that have plagued the region over the decades.
Strategic importance and regional influence
Adherence to these principles has not only had a positive impact on Saudi Arabia domestically, but has also been profoundly influential at the regional and international levels. Thanks to its political stability based on these principles, the Kingdom has become a pillar of balance in the Middle East and a center of gravity in the Islamic world. Furthermore, internal unity has enabled the Kingdom to play leading roles in addressing international crises, protecting the region's interests, and ensuring the stability of global energy markets, thus making it a reliable partner in international forums.
From foundation to vision of the future
Today, under the prosperous reign of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, the journey continues on those firm foundations, but with an ambitious, modern vision embodied in "Vision 2030." The history of the Kingdom's founding and the principles of unity and justice are viewed as the launching pad for the future, through which the economy will be diversified, society empowered, and national identity strengthened, ensuring the Kingdom remains a model state that combines the authenticity of its roots with the modernity of its launch towards broad global horizons.
