King Saud personally sponsored the building of new mosques around the Kingdom, with a budget totaling around eight million Saudi riyals.
In addition to that, the King donated one hundred thousand riyals to help build the Salafi mosque in Aleppo. King Saud was also keen not to miss the chance in contributing to the maintenance of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the rock, and so he donated about two million riyals to cover the completion of the restoration of these to Islamic landmarks.
King Saud was also very keen on encouraging the memorization of the Holy Quran and set up an annual prize for it. But all of that was pointless without the King, and his Government’s, upholding of Islamic law and principles as the cornerstone of their governance. And he always reiterated that in his speeches and letters.
“Today, the idea of the Islamic University came into being by our countries natural place in the leadership of the Islamic movement, inspired by the tolerant teachings of Shariah, which has triumphed since the dawn of Islam.”
