Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (14 April 1906 – 25 March 1975) was the King of Saudi Arabia from 1964 to 1975. He created the Muslim World League to attack Nasserism and socialism. Despite his hatred of Nasser, both attended the Bandung Conference in 1955. In 1957, he devalued the rial, which benefited oil merchants but harmed the people.[1]

Reign as king[edit | edit source]

In 1970, Faisal put the Ministry of Justice under the control of Islamic scholars (ulema) in order to create an Islamic state.[1]
