biography of king faisal arab saudi
In the education of the family and the scholars around him, Prince Faisal also grew up as a good child in his spiritual education, even he was able to memorize the Qur'an in a very young age. In his teenage years, precisely at the age of 16, Prince Faisal was appointed commander of the war and was given the trust of leading an expedition to quell a tribal rebellion in the Asir region of southern Hijaz. His military experience was re-galvanized at the age of 19, when he was entrusted with commanding an army to capture Jeddah from the Hashemite tribe of Shi'ite Zaidiyah who often made a plot against the Government in Hijaz. Prince Faisal achieved his military top achievement in 1934, after he succeeded in seizing the port of Hoderida within a relatively short period of the State of Yemen's secular power which at that time the State of Yemen was secularly aided by the British military.
In 1932, King Abdul Aziz proclaimed the establishment of the State of Saudi Arabia Monarchy with King Abdul 'Aziz bin' Abdurrahman himself as the first King after this inauguration. In this year also, Prince Faisal was given the title of Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia. In a speech of his countryhood at a conference of Peace Summit in the French city of Versailles, his charisma succeeded in captivating the delegations of foreign countries present at the conference.
After the United Nations issued a Palestinian resolution for the establishment of the state of Israel, Prince Faisal urged King Abdul Aziz to cut off diplomatic ties with the United States, which was one of the founders of the resolution, but his request was rejected by King Abdul Aziz because there is still a mutual relationship between the two countries at that time. After King Abdul Aziz was caught up in the financial scandal case which caused him to descend, Prince Faisal was sworn in as a temporary government to replace his father who was being exiled abroad by his family. And on 2 November 1964, Prince Faisal was officially sworn in as the second King of Saudi Arabia to replace King Abdul Aziz with Malik Faisal bin 'Abdul' Aziz as-Saud.
King Faisal is known as a righteous leader and is very concerned about the welfare of his people. He is very concerned about the interests of his people, a lot of new programs that he declared after his coronation as head of state. Some of them were, in 1967 King Faisal promoted the program of abolition of slavery, this program he did by buying all slaves in Saudi Arabia with his personal cash until no one slave owned an employer in the country, even there is a slave he bought it has a price very expensive (with the currency value of that time), ie 2,800 dollars. Then he freed the slaves he bought and continued with the enactment of the rules of prohibiting the existence of slavery in Saudi Arabia forever.
King Faisal also simplifies the lifestyle of the royal family as well as saving the royal treasury by attracting 500 luxury Cadillac cars owned by the palace, funding from the program above one of them realized in the construction of a giant well to as deep as 1,200 meters in addition to water resources people to flow on land- barren land in the Arabian peninsula
In the same year as the launch of a slave abolition program, King Faisal called for Aggression against Israel in defense of the holy land of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and stopped Israel from spreading its territory over the surrounding areas. This appeal was positively responded by Egypt and Syria which then these three countries formed a military coalition against Israel which at that time was massively backed up in capital and armaments by its ally, the United States. At first the Arab coalition forces (the Muslims) were up in the wind and controlled the battle easily, after the Arab coalition forces from Egypt succeeded in repelling the Israeli troops from Sham and planning to enter the territory of Israel to strengthen Al-Quds, suddenly America The union announced a threatening statement against Egypt about the massacre of the Egyptian people by the Americans if the Egyptians were to enter Israel. So in order to save the country and its people, Gamal Abdul Nasir as the leader of Egypt at that time was forced to withdraw his troops and undo his intention to enter the territory of Israel.
King Faisal who heard the intimidation was angry and called for an economic war against America, namely by embargoing Saudi Arabia's oil exports to America. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (N.A.T.O) countries that had once backed the Americans turned around and renounced their support for America for fear of being embroiled with King Faisal's massive embargo. The consequence of the embargo on the United States is the paralysis of industrial and transportation sectors, and even the economy is in turmoil until a prolonged crisis is expected to recover over the next ten years (since the embargo's inception).
In his jihad sermon call against Israel, King Faisal prayed before the audience that God should set his death to be accepted by God as the one who was killed in the path (Shuhada). He also prayed that God would immediately take his life if he could not free the holy land of Jerusalem from Israel's grip on the war that would take place at that time. [11]
On March 25, 1975, King Faisal died that year for being killed. The killer was his own nephew, Faisal bin Mus'ad, who had just returned from the United States. Mus'ad disguised as a Kuwaiti delegate who wanted to meet King Faisal on a spur of the moment. At the time King Faisal walked towards him to greet, then Faisal bin Mus'ad suddenly took out a gun and fired him body of King Faisal three times. From the gunshot wound, King Faisal ran out of blood to breathe his last shortly afterwards. From the results of the investigation and interrogation conducted, Faisal bin Musaid admitted that the murder was based on his own initiative, in addition to conspiracy theories that blow in the community, the officer also suspected the existence of mental damage to Faisal bin Musaid. Finally not long after that, Ibn Mus'ad (nickname Faisal bin Musaid) and punishable punishable qishos (before) audiences.
