مُرَاجَعَةُ الْمُكْتَسَبَاتِ السَّابِقَةِ.

Review of previous lessons.

كَانَ حُلْمُ الْمَلِكِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ الْجَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ التَّوْحِيدِ وَفِي ظِلِّ قِيَادَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.

King Abdulaziz dreamed of uniting the Arabian Peninsula under the banner of monotheism and a single leadership.

وَبَعْدَ أَنْ اسْتَقَرَّتْ لَهُ الْأُمُورُ فِي الرِّيَاضِ انْطَلَقَ مِنْهَا بِجُيُوشٍ أَشْبَهَ بِخُيُوطِ الشَّمْسِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ، تَبْعَثُ النُّورَ وَتَنْشُرُ الْعَدْلَ فِي أَرْجَاءِ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، فَدَانَتْ لَهُ بِلَادُ سُدَيْرٍ وَالْوَشْمِ وَالْقَصِيمِ وَجَبَلِ شَمَّرَ.

Once he had secured Riyadh, he set out with armies that spread light and justice across the peninsula, and the regions of Sudair, Al-Washm, Al-Qassim, and Jabal Shammar submitted to his rule.

وَهَذِهِ الْأَمَاكِنُ تُسَمَّى نَجْدًا.

These regions are known as Najd.

ثُمَّ بَدَأَ الْحُلْمُ الْكَبِيرُ يَتَحَقَّقُ، وَبَدَأَتْ مَعَالِمُ الصُّورَةِ تَتَّضِحُ شَيْئًا فَشَيْئًا.

The great dream began to take shape, and the picture became clearer little by little.

عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ كَانَ مَحْبُوبًا، أَحَبَّهُ النَّاسُ وَفَتَحُوا لَهُ الْقُلُوبَ قَبْلَ الْبِلَادِ فَدَخَلَتْ نَجْرَانُ وَجَازَانُ فِي الْحُكْمِ السُّعُودِيِّ، ثُمَّ تَوَحَّدَتْ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ أَخَوَاتِهَا مِنْ مَنَاطِقِ وَطَنِنَا الْكَبِيرِ.

Abdulaziz was a beloved leader; people opened their hearts to him before they offered their lands. Najran and Jazan joined the Saudi state, eventually uniting with the rest of our great homeland's regions.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الْمَشْهُودِ اجْتَمَعَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بِالرِّجَالِ وَالْعُلَمَاءِ فِي حَشْدٍ كَبِيرٍ وَاتَّفَقُوا عَلَى اسْمٍ خَالِدٍ لِلْبِلَادِ يَظَلُّ فِي ذَاكِرَةِ التَّارِيخِ فَكَانَ الِاسْمُ الْخَالِدُ هُوَ الْمَمْلَكَةُ الْعَرَبِيَّةُ السُّعُودِيَّةُ.

On that historic day, Abdulaziz met with leaders and scholars in a grand assembly to choose an enduring name for the country that would live on in history, and they settled on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

وَالْآنَ وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَذَاكَرْنَا قِصَّةَ التَّوْحِيدِ الْكَبِيرِ، هَلْ عَرَفْتُمْ كَيْفَ يُسَاوِي الْوَاحِدُ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ؟

Now that we have recalled the story of the great unification, do you understand how one equals thirteen?

أَجَابَ خَالِدٌ وَقَدْ عَرَفَ الْمَعْنَى: وَاحِدٌ يَعْنِي الرِّيَاضَ الَّتِي انْطَلَقَ مِنْهَا الْمُوَحِّدُ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - وَالِاثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ الْبَاقِيَةُ هِيَ الْمَنَاطِقُ الْإِدَارِيَّةُ فِي وَطَنِنَا الْغَالِي فِي شَمَالِهِ وَجَنُوبِهِ وَشَرْقِهِ وَغَرْبِهِ، وَالثَّلَاثَةَ عَشْرَ هِيَ مَجْمُوعُ مَنَاطِقِنَا الْإِدَارِيَّةِ فِي وَطَنِنَا الْحَبِيبِ.

Khalid, having grasped the meaning, answered: "One represents Riyadh, the starting point of the unifier King Abdulaziz—may God have mercy on him—while the remaining twelve are the administrative regions across the north, south, east, and west of our dear homeland, making thirteen regions in total."

تَنَاثَرَتِ الضَّحِكَاتُ عَلَى وُجُوهِ الْجَمِيعِ كَحَبَّاتِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ، وَحَمِدُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى نِعْمَةِ الْأَمْنِ وَالْأَمَانِ وَالتَّوْحِيدِ فِي وَطَنِنَا، وَدَعَوْا اللَّهَ دَوَامَهَا وَعَادَتْ فَنَاجِيلُ الْقَهْوَةِ تَدُورُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِسُرُورٍ.

Laughter lit up everyone's faces like pearls. They praised God Almighty for the blessings of security, safety, and unity in our country, praying for these to last, as the coffee cups began to circulate among them once more.
