Abstract

The history of the First Saudi State has been encountering a lot of severe deformities by some schemers who denounced the State’s call for reformation. Therefore, it is important to investigate a series of documented academic studies through the records of some fair and unprejudiced historians.

Al-Jabarti’s history, characterized by the title “The History of Wonders of Archeology in Translations and News”, is one of the most significant sources of the history of the First Saudi State; its author lived Mohammed Ali’s fights against the Arabian Peninsula. He also provided enough information about the Egyptian vision on late the First Saudi State.

In his work, Al-Jabarti recorded all possible events related to the First Saudi State from (1217H-1802) to (1236H-1821), after the end of the First Saudi State, showing the echoes of these events in Egypt.

The significance of this studie is clearly seen in the records of Al-Jabarti’s History which is considered a witness of the events of the First Saudi State.
