Very important point that needs correction.
The saudi monarch in the first and second state was called both Emir and Imam and in fact Imam is more emphasized. The monarch was both political and religious head. The clergys function was to support him.
That changed in the third state. Abdulaziz was called Sultan "malik" king and Emir of various emirates and kingdoms until they were all united officially to form modern saudi arabia with abdulaziz taking the title of king.

As a Saudi I am grateful for King Abdulaziz and all the Arabian tribes fought with him to unite this desert that never saw such prosperity.
You have to understand at that time people starved to death and the survival is for the stronger in the arabian desert during the otmans empire that didn’t do much for them.
You would say it was the oil but oil wasn’t enough for unstable country. The country needed a visionary king rules by firm hands for Saudi to be what it became.
