Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab and the amir Muhammad ibn Sa’ud launched their campaign to reform Islam and consolidate power in Arabia from their power-base in Diriyah. By 1805, the Wahhabis controlled Mecca and Medina, had attacked Karbala and the Imam Husayn Shrine.[1] The Wahhabis also attacked Ottoman trade caravans which interrupted the Ottoman finances.[2] The Saudi amir denounced the Ottoman sultan and called into question the validity of his claim to be caliph and guardian of the sanctuaries of the Hejaz[3] and when the Ottoman empire ordered the upstart Muhammad ‘Ali, viceroy of Egypt, to fight the Wahhabis. The Ottoman empire was suspicious of Muhammed Ali’s ambition, and thought that by ordering Ali against the Wahhabis, the defeat of either would be beneficial.[2]

Muhammad ‘Ali was ordered to crush the state as early as December 1807 by Sultan Mustafa IV, however internal strife within Egypt prevented him from giving full attention to the Wahhabis. The Egyptians were not able to recapture the holy cities until 1811.[3]

However, it would take until September 1818 that the Wahhabi state would end with the surrendering of the leaders. Ibrahim Pasha, Muhammad ‘Ali’s son, had taken over the campaign in 1817. Gaining the support of the volatile Arabian tribes by skillful diplomacy and lavish gifts, he advanced into central Arabia to occupy the towns of Unaizah and Buraidah. Joined now by most of the principal tribes, he appeared before the Saudi capital Diriyah in April 1818. With their march to Diriyah plagued by Wahhabi attacks, they arrived in Diriyah in April 1818. It took until September for the Wahhabis to surrender, in part due to Ibrahim’s poorly trained army. Diriyah was destroyed on June 1819, and Egyptian garrisons were posted in the principal towns. The head of the Wahhabi state, Amir ‘Abd Allah, was sent to Constantinople to be executed.[3]

Amir ‘Abd Allah, as head of the Wahhabi state, was sent for execution to Istanbul, although most of the political leaders were treated well. The empire was far more harsh with the religious leaders that inspired the Wahhabi movement. The execution of Sulayman ibn ‘Abd Allah and other religious notables reflects the resentment of these extremist views. Religious leaders were thought to be uncompromising in their beliefs and therefore a much bigger threat than political leaders

nah he didn't but Al Saud sure did

DId you listen to the video? Al Saud were the believers and rightful rulers of Najd which brother Abu khadeejah explains has never been controlled by Ottomon empire. Ottomon empire attacked them! They had every right to defend themselves from these aggressing invaders who were attempting to overthrow the rightful rulers of Najd.

Allahuakbar

wahaabis can't change the history. its well known the founder of wahaabis did revolt Ottomons and he even one of hes books mohamed abdulwahaab said# if you see a turk and snake kill the Turk before you kill the snake. that man was real racist.

that is untrue, the Ottomans ruled all of Arabia and Al Saud rebelled against them. A guy on youtube cannot rewrite history

Guys ignore awkukuu, he is that sick DR. YALAXOOW character and shouldn't be taken serious. He is quoting wikipedia, lol.

The Ottomans were the rulers of the Muslims for centuries, they were well organised and a fantastic military force so why didn't the sauds not give their allegiance to them or at the least become an ally state?

Why should they give beycah? They are independent rulers who have sovreignty over the land given to them by allah. Plus Turks didn't give them chance to negotiate they outright invaded, with no negotiations nothing in a savage manner.
