Eqab bin Mohaya

These factors had influenced the shaping of his personality and character in which raised him as a leader at an early age.

He was very religious, a keeper of God's book, liked by his tribe and he cared for the poor and weak people.

Following that, Eqab had led his troops to side up with King Abdul-Aziz to suppress the revolution of the rebellion brothers.

[14][15][16][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Eqab Bin Mohaya was one of the Ikhwan movement leaders who participated in the unification of this great entity, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

His role arose especially during his leadership of Sajer brigade, and the number who answered the call for jihad reached 2,000 fighters.

One side were defending their marquees and herds, and the others were attacking based on religion and without fear and with an outstanding courage.

So the Jordanian government had quickly asked the British authorities to participate in the battle with fighter aircraft and military tanks.

The Brits had felt the risk and feared that the Saudi influence would reach the British direct liaison passage which was in Kuwait and Iraq from one side and Jordan, Palestine and AL-Hijaz from another side, so the Brits had engaged to stop the attack by using tanks and automatic weapons, and the fight against the brothers army continued all day Tuesday until midmorning on Wednesday.

After the retreat of the brothers’ army, the Brits had initiated and requested King Abdul-Aziz to hold a meeting.

So the second AL-Oqair meeting was held in November 1922 discussing the borders issue for the first time, and both agreed under the condition of giving the tribes the freedom of movement and in retain the Brits had acknowledged King Abdul-Aziz's control over AL-Jouf and wadi AL-Sarhan.

Therefore, King Abdul-Aziz at the end of 1342H headed a conference in Riyadh attended by Najd's Islamic scholars, heads of the tribes and leaders of the brothers, and King Abdul-Aziz had gained a legal fatwa to carry on a war against AL-Sharief to ensure the freedom of performing hadj.

So a decision to invade AL-Hijaz was issued by the conference held in Riyadh and the brothers’ leaders and gathered the armies in Truba and from there they headed for Taif.

At that time, Prince Eqab headed the Sajer brigade and fought the following battles: 1.

Two days later, Prince Ali, the oldest son of AL-Husain, had arrived to rescue the city of Makkah.

Rescues had followed for Prince Ali from Makkah and its surroundings, soldiers and tribes, so the decisive battle had taken place on the night of 26/27 of Safar.

The brothers had occupied the camp of Prince Ali in AL-Hudda, and the Hashimies and their followers had dispersed and that's when the advance stopped in Taif and AL-Hada.

On the morning of the 5th of Rabi’e AL-Awal, Prince Ali was announced in Jeddah to be the King of AL-Hijaz.

[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The Riyadh's Islamic scholars had issued a fatwa prohibiting entry to the Haram (site) (mosque) with the intention of fighting.

• This way the heroes and their followers had controlled AL-Hijaz and attached it to the great entity, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
