Turki bin Abdullah bin Muhammad

Turki ibn Abdallah ibn Muhammad Al Saud (Arabic تركي بن عبدالله بن محمد آل سعود, DMG Turki b ʿ Abd b Muḥammad Sa ʿ Āl ūd, .. * 1755, † 1834) was an Imam of the Wahhabis.

With the conquest and destruction of Egypt by Dariya (1818 ) the kingdom of Saud was smashed in Central Arabia. This led to a new outbreak of infighting among the tribes. In these, Turki al- Saud, a great-uncle of Abdallah ibn Saud I. (1814-1818) came out as the Imam of the Wahhabis (1820 ). He succeeded in the occupation of Riyadh, which should be the center of the new kingdom of the Saudis. First, however, continued to struggle with the Egyptian occupation. Since Turki but recognized the Egyptian supremacy and paid tribute, he was able to consolidate its position in Arabia on. However, he was murdered by a relative in May 1834. Nevertheless, the appointed heir to the throne during his lifetime Faisal ibn Turki Al Saud (1834-1865) came out as the new Imam.
