The efforts of Saudi Arabia in Islamic Solidarity through the Muslim World League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference

Abstract

Since its establishment in 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has focused on Islamic solidarity and concern for the affairs of Muslims and uniting their ranks after Muslims faced a lot of harassment, injustice and tyranny, especially Muslims in Western countries; Therefore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia initiated the establishment of Islamic organizations to be a deterrent to the division of Muslims and at the same time an important factor in supporting and uniting Muslims. Therefore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia established the Muslim World League in 1962 to be its right arm in financing and supporting Muslims throughout the Islamic world, and also contributed to the establishment of The Organization of the Islamic Conference or what is known (the Organization of Islamic Cooperation) in 1969, which included (75) Islamic countries, and is the second largest global organization, which contributed to defending Muslims in their wars, whether through Arab summit conferences or through conferences of foreign ministers of Islamic countries. These organizations had the effect of supporting and unifying Muslims all over the world.
