تحتفل المملكة العربية السعودية باليوم الوطني لتوحيد المملكة في 23 سبتمبر من كل عام. وهذا التاريخ يعود إلى المرسوم الملكي الذي أصدره الملك عبدالعزيز برقم 2716، وتاريخ 17 جمادى الأولى عام 1351هـ، الذي قضى بتحويل اسم الدولة من (مملكة الحجاز ونجد وملحقاتها) إلى المملكة العربية السعودية، وذلك ابتداءً من يوم 23 سبتمبر 1932م.
يصادف «اليوم» الثلاثاء الـ23 من سبتمبر؛ اليوم الوطني السعودي الذي يستحضر الذكرى الـ95 لتوحيد هذا الوطن العظيم على يد المغفور له الملك عبدالعزيز بن عبدالرحمن آل سعود ورجاله الأوفياء بعد ملحمة وطنية جمع بها شتات إرثه وإرث أجداده وضم هذه الأرض المباركة من شمالها إلى جنوبها ومن شرقها إلى غربها تحت كيان واحد واسم واحد هو «المملكة العربية السعودية»، لتبدأ مرحلة الدولة السعودية الثالثة التي نحتمي اليوم تحت بنائها الراسخ الشامخ وبقيادة أبناء مؤسسها وأحفاده الأوفياء.
لا شك، خلف بناء هذا الكيان العظيم رجل بقلب جسور وعقل طموح وهمة لا تكسرها الخطوب وإرادة صلبة لا تعترضها الانكسارات ولا تعترف بالهزائم. انتقى الملك عبدالعزيز رجالاته من أفواه المحن والبطولات وتسلّح بالإيمان والحق قاصداً أرض آبائه وأجداده ولم يلتقط أنفاسه إلا ساجداً على ثراها سجدة الشكر بالتمكين والمُلك وإعلاء راية النصر ونحر الباطل بسيف الحق ببسالة وإقدام، لتسطّر سيرته في صفحات تاريخ البطولات النادرة وتكتب بمداد الشجاعة والفخر، ليحمل الراية بعده سلالته من ملوك عظام ملأوا العالم صيتاً وفخراً وأمجاداً متتالية وصولاً إلى هذا المجد الذي نعيشه اليوم في عصر خادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك سلمان بن عبدالعزيز، وولي عهده الأمير محمد بن سلمان، وميلاد جديد لدولة الملك عبدالعزيز بطابعها الحضاري ونهضة هز صيتها مشارق الأرض ومغاربها فتهافت الأصدقاء ليبرموا العهود والعقود واندحر الأعداء خلف مؤامراتهم وانكسارات أحلامهم.
اليوم وبعد 95 عاماً من التأسيس والبناء، تتصدّر المملكة العربية السعودية قائمة أقوى خمس دول في العالم، بعد الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية والصين والهند وروسيا، وتنافس عظمى الدول في القوة العسكرية والأسلحة والعتاد والجيش، كما تتصدّر المملكة عضوية مجموعة العشرين التي تضم أكبر الاقتصادات في العالم، أما من ناحية النفط (إكسير الصناعات)، فالمملكة تعد أكبر الدول تصديراً له، وقد تصدّرت شركة أرامكو النفطية القيمة السوقية للشركات العالمية كأكبر شركة هي الأولى عالمياً متقدمة على شركات عالمية كبرى في التسويق والتقنية والصناعات الثقيلة!
«عزنا بطبعنا» شعارنا هذه السنة ليومنا المجيد الذي نفاخر به العالم، ويختزل معاني الوفاء لإرثنا القيمي المتميز بطبعنا التراكمي وعزنا الذي لم نستمده من ثقافات الآخرين وطبائعهم بل اكتسبناه من ذواتنا وهويتنا التي انسجمت مع طباعنا الرصينة الكريمة النبيلة الوفية للأرض بولاء من نوع فريد وخاص لقيادة عظيمة هي جزء منا ونحن جزء منها!

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia celebrates the National Day for the unification of the Kingdom on September 23 of each year. This date goes back to the royal decree issued by King Abdulaziz numbered 2716, dated 17 Jumada al-Awwal in the year 1351 AH, which stipulated the change of the country's name from (the Kingdom of Hijaz and Najd and its Dependencies) to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, starting from September 23, 1932 AD.
Today falls on Tuesday, the 23rd of September; the Saudi National Day that commemorates the 95th anniversary of the unification of this great nation by the late King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud and his loyal men after a national epic that gathered the scattered legacy of his and his ancestors' heritage and united this blessed land from its north to its south and from its east to its west under one entity and one name: "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia." This marked the beginning of the third Saudi state, under which we find shelter today with its solid and towering foundations, led by the sons of its founder and his loyal descendants.
There is no doubt that behind the construction of this great entity is a man with a courageous heart, an ambitious mind, an unbreakable spirit, and a strong will that does not yield to setbacks or recognize defeats. King Abdulaziz chose his men from the jaws of tribulations and heroism, armed with faith and truth, aiming for the land of his forefathers, and he did not catch his breath until he was prostrating on its soil in gratitude for empowerment and kingship, raising the banner of victory and vanquishing falsehood with the sword of truth with bravery and audacity. His story is inscribed in the pages of rare heroic history, written with the ink of courage and pride, and his legacy is carried on by his descendants, great kings who filled the world with their fame, pride, and successive glories, leading to the greatness we live today in the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and his Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, marking a new birth for the state of King Abdulaziz with its civilizational character and a renaissance that has shaken its reputation across the east and west of the earth, attracting friends to forge pacts and contracts while enemies have been defeated behind their conspiracies and shattered dreams.
Today, after 95 years of foundation and construction, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ranks among the top five strongest countries in the world, following the United States, China, India, and Russia, competing with the greatest countries in military strength, weapons, equipment, and army. The Kingdom also leads the membership of the G20, which includes the largest economies in the world. In terms of oil (the elixir of industries), the Kingdom is the largest exporter of oil, and Aramco has topped the market value of global companies as the largest company in the world, surpassing major global companies in marketing, technology, and heavy industries!
“Our Pride is in Our Nature” is our slogan this year for our glorious day, which we boast about to the world, encapsulating the meanings of loyalty to our distinctive value heritage, characterized by our cumulative nature and pride that we did not derive from the cultures and natures of others but acquired from our own selves and identity, which harmonizes with our noble, generous, and loyal nature to the land with a unique and special loyalty to a great leadership that is part of us, and we are part of it!
