How Aal-e-Saud Built Saudi Arabia | The Richest Royal Family | Dr Nasir Baig

In this episode of Global Sach Podcast with Dr Nasir Baig, we explore the real history of Aal-e-Saud, the rise of Diriyah, the formation of the First Saudi State, and the origins of one of the world’s most powerful royal families. How did the House of Saud emerge from Najd? What was Arabia like before political unification? Why did Muhammad bin Saud and Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab form their historic alliance in 1744? And why are there two completely different narratives about Aal-e-Saud? This episode examines the tribal conflicts, political disorder, economic hardship, insecurity, religious debates, and lack of central authority that shaped Najd before the rise of Saudi power. It explains how Diriyah became the centre of a political and religious movement that transformed the Arabian Peninsula. The video covers Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab’s departure from Uyainah, his arrival in Diriyah, and his alliance with Muhammad bin Saud. Their partnership laid the foundation of the First Saudi State and brought many tribes under a wider political structure. We also discuss the expansion of the First Saudi State, its influence over Makkah and Madinah, the reaction of the Ottoman Empire, and the campaign led by Muhammad Ali Pasha and Ibrahim Pasha, which ended the state and destroyed Diriyah in 1818. The episode then explains the later struggle between Sharif Hussein bin Ali and Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, the Saudi conquest of Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, Taif, and Hijaz, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. From Diriyah, Aal-e-Saud later rose to rule an oil-rich state with global influence, major investments, and ambitious projects such as NEOM. Dr Nasir Baig also examines controversial claims about the family’s ancestry, its relations with the United States, and its alleged role in sectarian and political conflicts. The video separates historical evidence from propaganda, disputed interpretations, and unsupported claims. Were Aal-e-Saud the force that unified a divided Arabia, or was the Saudi state shaped by wider political interests and external powers?
