جهود الملك سعود بن عبد العزيز آل سعود في إتمام مشروع التوسعة السعودية الأولى للمسجد النبوي الشريف ١٣٧٣هـ-١٣٨٤هـ ١٩٥٣م-١٩٦٤م

Abstract EN

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be unto the Messenger of Allah who is sent as mercy to the worlds.

Allah Almighty says, ‘The mosques of Allah are to be occupied by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and fulfill their prayers and charity and do not fear anyone besides Allah; these indeed are from the guided ones”.

It is due to the favour of Allah that He provided for this country a government like Al-Saud, which took care of serving and expanding the two holy mosques and offering the best of services to their residents and visitors.

One of these achievements is the expansion of the Holy Prophet’s Mosque by King Abdulaziz which indicates his care for the comfort of the pilgrims and the Muslims in general.

This expansion was known for its strength and beauty and was the greatest construction project آه the time.

The project was completed by his son King Saud who spent generously on it on behalf of all the Muslims throughout the world.
