king of saudi arabia

King of Saudi Arabia . The current king is Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of the Saud dynasty . He is also called the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.

Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy , and the King of Saudi Arabia serves as the head of state, commander-in-chief of the military , and head of government . While other Arab monarchies have a semblance of a parliament , Saudi Arabia has no such thing , and the king wields all power .

The King of Saudi Arabia concurrently serves as Prime Minister , the Crown Prince concurrently serves as First Deputy Prime Minister, and all ministers are appointed only by direct royal family members , such as the King's brothers or nephews . Currently, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud serves as Prime Minister.

For information prior to the founding of Saudi Arabia, see English Wikipedia .

Founding monarch Ibn Saud's real name is Abdulaziz. If you want to call your full name, you must know all the names of the ancestors. His full name is Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman bin Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah bin Muhammad ibn Saud . The interpretation is about 'Abdul Aziz, son of Abdul Rahman, son of Faisal, son of Turki, son of Turki, son of Abdullah, son of Muhammad of the House of Saud'. This is the original Arab naming method .

The Saud dynasty passes on the throne through sibling inheritance rather than paternal inheritance. All of the 2nd to the current 7th kings are sons of the first king, King Ibn Saud . This is because King Ibn Saud left a legacy that all of his sons must die before his grandson can ascend to the throne. Therefore, the heir to the throne is not the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince (in English, both are the same Crown Prince).

In accordance with these teachings, Mukrin bin Abdul Aziz, born in 1945, the 35th son of the first king, Ibn Saud, was crown prince , but in 2015 April 29 By decree of King Salman , Home Minister Mohammed bin Nayef became the first Crown Prince . Crown Prince Nayef is the son of King Salman 's half-brother Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, and it is the first generational change in the succession to the throne since the founding of Saudi Arabia. Since all of Ibn Saud 's remaining sons have grown too old, the generational shift itself has already been predicted, but until Crown Prince Nayef is ousted, it is unclear whether the succession to the throne after Crown Prince Nayef becomes king will be father-son or brother-inheritance. It was still unclear whether that would happen. Moreover, even if there is a generational change with former Crown Prince Nayef, there are not only positive aspects, so the ' Sudairi faction', which is composed of the children of Queen 'Sudairi', the 8th consort of the first king Ibn Saud's queens, will return to Saudi Arabia . There was also an analysis that he took over the government. # #

Prince Naeb , the father of King Salman, the five king, and the prince of the prince, were the resuscitation of Queen Sudiri, and the prince Mucrin, who was dismissed with the former King Abdullah , was not the resuscitation of Queen Sudiri. The majority of the royal corruption of the royal family are associated with this cure. Eventually, on June 21, 2017, King Salman drove his nephew Nawyf out of the prince and made his own son Muhammad Bin Salman as a prince. As a result, in the succession of the throne, the generational replacement was confirmed as well as the rich inheritance . Since November , the royal family, which is threatened by the bins, is being purged. There are so many princes who are arrested, so there are not enough hotels. On the 4th of 2018, 11 princes were arrested in the Casr Alhock Palace in Riyadh to cancel the decision to suspend electricity and water rates .

The height of the first king, Abdulaziz Al Saud, is estimated to be around 195 cm , and because of this, the members of the Saudi royal family are very tall overall.
