The Diriyah Pact was an agreement signed between the Emir of Diriyah, Imam Muhammad bin Saud, and Imam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab in the year 1744.[1][2] The two imams agreed to call for correcting the people's faith from the polytheism, heresies, and superstitions attached to it, by returning to what Muhammad was upon, and carrying out the duty of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.[3] After the pact, the reform movement began its work, and the Salafist call spread and became widely influential with supporters throughout the Arabian Peninsula and outside it. The pact is considered the basis on which the modern Saudi state was established.[4]
