The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Birthplace of Islam

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-92) The al-Saud family Saudi Arabia was created through the alliance of a line of traditional rulers with the men of religion (ulama) Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-92) The al-Saud family

Abd al-Wahhab’s teachings are called Wahabbism today and seek to purify Islam from any non-Islamic ideas

Central Arabia was never conquered or colonized by any Western power Arabia was unified by successive waves of Wahabbi jihadists Saudi Arabia became a state in 1933 when King Abdul-Aziz al-Saud declared it an independent state

Saudi life is a complex series of negotiation and compromise between: Regionalism/tribalism/clan identification Bedouin/ settled peoples Wahabbi conservatism/ modernization and national development Saudis and Foreign workers Mutawwa and salah times Modern law and tribal tradition of the majlis and shura

Separation of home into men’s majlis and family section Extreme gender separation is the most commonly noted mark of Saudi life Veiling Arranged marriages Separation of home into men’s majlis and family section Maharam institution Limited polygamy Emergence of small women’s sector of the economy

Today, Saudi Arabia remains one of the most conservative areas of the Islamic world, with extreme gender separation and a functioning code of shari’a law (religious law) that operates side by side with a secular legal code for transnational commercial law.
