I received this book as a gift from my neighbor Aboo Ibraaheem, may Allah reward him with good. This is a small compilation of letters from the Saudi kings beginning with the first, Imam Muhammad bin Sa’ood all the way to Fahd bin ‘Abdul-‘Azeez. The letters are written to their people on many topics such as the importance of Islam and Tawheed, observing prayer, the call of as-Salafiyyah, etc.

The book introduces a detailed explanation of the condition of the Arabian Peninsula before the call of Shaykh Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab and then goes into a brief biography of his life. Included is a chart showing all of the rulers in Arabia from the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, until the present time. There is also a brief biography of each Saudi king concerning their place of birth, educational background, religious studies, and contributions to Islam.

This compilation exposes us to the religious side of these kings and towards their great concern for establishing Islam in the Arabian Peninsula in addition to their concern in spreading the true message of our religion to the Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
