King Ali bin Hussein dikhianati oleh Ibnu Saud dan Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab dari Najdi (pendiri paham Wahabi) dan keduanya bekerjasama dengan British (Inggris) dalam upaya perebutan kekuasaan.
Putra Ibnu Saud dinikahkan dengan putri Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab. Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab mulai menyebarkan ajaran Wahabi nya di masyarakat. Dinasti Saud Wahabi pun terbentuk, demikian pula dinasti yang nanti menjadi penguasa Arab Saudi (Allen, 2006: 52)
Di akhir zaman, Arab Saudi akan kembali dipimpin lagi oleh keturunan Nabi Muhammad Saw yaitu Imam Mahdi.
