King Faisal Of Saudi

---

The Late King Faisal of Saudi.
He was the son of The first king of Saudi, Abdul Aziz as Saud. During his early life he been learning religion and able to memorize holy Quran when he was 16. He was the one who urge his father Abd Aziz to stop any relation with America due to their support of Israel. However that demand not been accepted by his very own father because during that time Saudi still “needs” america for their oil programmes.
At the end of Abd Aziz era, the government was full with corruption and the royal family was getting far from Saudi Citizens. The rich became richer yet the poor became poorer.
By 1964 when king Faisal took over the crown, he started to fight for poor citizen. This act was not popular among the rich. King faisal even demolished slavery in Saudi. By using his very own pocket money, he bought thousands kids that have been slaved by the rich.
He removed 500 luxurious caddilac car that been used by government and use that money to set up grand wells programme to supply water to the poor area in that country.
Thats why king Faisal was loved by all poor citizens of Saudi. On top of that, Muslims all around the world were starting to love him due to his effort and stands against Israel.
He show his support for Palestinian openly in the international conferences. He walks his talk by launching oil embargo againts western countries. America threat him by reminding him that saudi became rich because the help of America economically and the investment of their oil company. He replied firmy by saying that “take all your belongings back to your country. We are people of the desert and poor. We does not afraid of living in a desert and becoming poor again. We get used to that.”
But he had to pay high prices for stand. In 1975 we was shot at close range by his own nephew who just went back from the west.
But the legacy of king faisal is now no more.. the ruler of saudi now concerning more on attacking yaman instead of saving Palestine. They concern more on organising concert rather than feeding the poor.. Late king Faisal, till today he was the one and only Saudi King that gained respect and love from Muslim all around the world.
