The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz received here last night sons of the Founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al-Faisal Al-Saud, led by Prince Mishaal bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, the Deputy Premier, Defense and Aviation Minister and Inspector General, as well as sons and grandsons of the Princes (sons of the Founder) who passed away. After recitation of verses from the Holy Quran, King Abdullah bin Abdul-aziz spoke, saying that 'We thank Allah Almighty who enabled King Abdulaziz to realize the first Arab unity paving the way for the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: the most purest place on the earth. The great Leader, unwaveringly shouldered his responsibility and attained great achievements. He pledged to go ahead on the path of righteousness, justice and equality and to adhere to the Holy Quran and Sunnah (the Prophet's teachings). It is the creed and the Islamic Sharia, the constitution of this country which we are determined to adhere to it. Allah Almighty has bestowed this country with great bounties, and the most important of these bounties after the bounties of security and belief is the love of the sons of the Saudi people with all of their categories. We are proud of this love, and we believe that we are from this nation and the people are from us, and we all share the honor of belonging to this country. The men of this country are those, who are sincere in all domains. They include the Ulema (Muslim scholars) whom we do respect. The Ulema, after Allah Almighty, were supporters of us, we mean by the Ulema of wisdom, thought and creed. Brothers and sons: King Abdulaziz had urged us to become God fearing people and to enhance the pillars of justice, and to close our ranks, and to settle any difference through discussion and dialogue in a transparent manner, and not to allow any one to interfere in our special affairs, and I am confident that you are aware of this and will follow it. I would like to draw your attention that there will be no weightage and respect except through adherence to this religion, and there will be no honor except through the service of the country, and there will be no determination except through patience and work." --MORE
