Keeng Abdul Aziz
began conquerin the day's Saudi Arabie in 1902, bi restorin his family as emirs o
Riyadh
. He then proceedit tae conquer first the
Nejd
(1922) an then the
Hejaz
(1925). He progressed frae Sultan o Nejd, tae King o Hejaz an Nejd, an finally tae King o Saudi Arabie in 1932.
The ither kings hae aw been his sons an aw likely immediate successors tae the reignin King Abdullah will be frae his progeny. Sons o Ibn Saud are considered tae hae primary claim on the Kingship o Saudi Arabie. This makes the Saudi Monarchy quite distinct frae Wastren monarchies, which uisually feature lairge, clearly defined
ryal families
an orders o succession.
Saudi Arabie is ruled bi Islamic law an purports tae be an Islamic state, but mony Muslims see a hereditary monarchy as being a discouraged seestem o govrenment in Islam. This attitude stems in pairt frae traditional
Sunni
doctrine, which prefers selectin rulers based on qualification.
The King o Saudi Arabie is an aa considered the Heid o the
Hoose o Saud
an Prime Meenister. The
Croun Prince
is an aa the "Deputy Prime Meenister." The kings efter Faisal hae named a "seicont Deputy Prime Meenister" as the subsequent heir efter the Croun Prince.
