  • Saudi Arabia Under King Faisal
    SAUDI ARABIA UNDER KING FAISAL ABSTRACT || T^EsIs SubiviiTTEd FOR TIIE DEqREE of ' * ISLAMIC STUDIES ' ^ O^ilal Ahmad OZuttp UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. ABDUL ALI READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1997 /•, •^iX ,:Q. ABSTRACT It is a well-known fact of history that ever since the assassination of capital Uthman in 656 A.D. the Political importance of Central Arabia, the cradle of Islam , including its two holiest cities Mecca and Medina, paled into in insignificance. The fourth Rashidi Calif 'Ali bin Abi Talib had already left Medina and made Kufa in Iraq his new capital not only because it was the main base of his power, but also because the weight of the far-flung expanding Islamic Empire had shifted its centre of gravity to the north. From that time onwards even Mecca and Medina came into the news only once annually on the occasion of the Haj. It was for similar reasons that the 'Umayyads 661-750 A.D. ruled form Damascus in Syria, while the Abbasids (750- 1258 A.D ) made Baghdad in Iraq their capital. However , after a long gap of inertia, Central Arabia again came into the limelight of the Muslim world with the rise of the Wahhabi movement launched jointly by the religious reformer Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab and his ally Muhammad bin saud, a chieftain of the town of Dar'iyah situated between *Uyayana and Riyadh in the fertile Wadi Hanifa. There can be no denying the fact that the early rulers of the Saudi family succeeded in bringing about political stability in strife-torn Central Arabia by fusing together the numerous war-like Bedouin tribes and the settled communities into a political entity under the banner of standard, Unitarian Islam as revived and preached by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.

It aims at preparing qualified, skilled, and competent graduates to match the highly developed and sophisticated healthcare systems in the Kingdom, and to employ recent scientific and technical developments in the delivery of healthcare services. Since its establishment, it has been playing a significant role in providing both the private and the public health sectors with highly competent professional graduates who are equipped with the most recent knowledge and skills in their speciality role. The College of Applied Medical Sciences encompasses five academic departments including the Department of Nursing Sciences (Male and Female Sections) which offers a Bachelor Degree in Nursing Sciences. In 2013, the Department of Nursing has carried out a revision and assessment to its current study plan and, subsequently, some modifications. The previous study plan was approved on April 2010 as a starting point for the nursing program at the newly established department within CAMS.

    In The Name Of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Compassionate Arriyadh holds a strategic and pivotal role as the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which is the birthplace of the Message of Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him) and the location of the Two Holy Mosques. The dynamic capital hosts diplomatic, Islamic, political, economic, financial, trade, scientific, technological and educational institutions and is a fast developing national, regional and international center. Arriyadh is also a hub of administration with national cultural and heritage bodies and activities. the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman Bin Abdulaziz (may God bless him) has over many decades actively supported Arriyadh and its remarkable development. Today, with his Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Interior; and the Deputy Crown Prince and Defence Minister; King Salman is ably guiding the development of the Kingdom, its capital and provinces and ensuring the welfare, security and prosperity of the nation’s population. Evidence of this is seen in the range of visionary development and infrastructure projects, which are helping to transform the Kingdom and the wider region. The development process in Arriyadh does not focus on specific areas or sectors. Rather it embraces a wide and comprehensive range of projects and needs. These include ambitious programs in transportation. The King Abdulaziz Public Transport Project in Arriyadh City is the largest of its kind and will provide a network of metro and bus services in the capital. The King Khaled International Airport Development Project will considerably expand passenger and airfreight capacity; and national and regional projects to develop railroad and road networks will soon offer remarkable improvements in transportation within the Kingdom and GCC.
