Abdullah ibn Abdilazīz was the King of Saudi Arabia. He ascended to the throne on 1 August 2005 upon the death of his half-brother, King Fahd. According to Forbes, Abdullah was among the world's most powerful people...
He was born on August 1, 1924 and died few hours ago on January 23, 2015. He had 19 wives, with the eldest wife who died in 2003. He is survived by children and his parents. He was 90 years at the time of his death. He was known to be a good king, a reformer and a king who is against religious extremism. He contributed immensely to education, and put to good use the nation's oil money, despite opposition from the conservatives in the Arab nation. He tried to do more for women, but most of his attempts were not allowed. May Allah grant him peace in Al-janna.
