Why are other tribes okay with the state being named Saudi

[Zak12]

The Sauds are a family, not a tribe. They do not have large numbers and their tribe is not a large tribe, but they have earned the respect of the Arab tribes Because of their fight against the Ottomans and Egyptians

? They conquered most of Arabia. That is how they earned the "respect" of Arab tribes. You forget that Arabia was just as savage as Baadiyo back then.

Aren't Arabs split into many qabil like us? Imagine a somali state being called "Majeerteen Somalia" or some shit. Everyone would get pissed. So how come Arabs in sauida are alright with being named after one tribe.

Because apparently during the early years of saudi Arabia the head of the saud family I forgot his name but each time he conquered a clan he would marry the clan leaders daughter and family into his and he would repeat this process to ensure each clan pledges allegiance apparently he had 25 wives because of this and also due to that happening every clan can link themselves to the saud family and also remember that saudi was quite decentralised each clan had autonomy but after oil came around things changed and their clanism phased out due to EVERYONE eating good because of the oil money and economic boom that came with it.

Because saudi/Gulfies are civilized and smart
They knew there was huge money to be made and that squabbling over qabil was not worth it,also its part thanks to their thousand years of civilzation
Unlike us pastoralists who only experiend governance and civilazation 70 years ago

Arabia with the exception of Yemen and parts of Hejaz and Oman wasn't exactly known for civilization.

The rest were just Bedouin tribes

Firstly because the Saudis are not tribal like the Somalis
Then the Sauds had an alliance with most powerful Arab tribes, such as Mutair, Otaiba Al-Dawasir, Ajman
I personally asked Saudis why you love Al Saud and they said: In the past, the Arabian Peninsula was full of tribal wars, plunder and theft everywhere Al Saud was the one who stopped all this, united the people, and built this rich country for them
Somalis if a man from another tribe comes to their land, even if he will make them rich, they will fight him. Somalis do not know what loyalty

Don’t forget the Arabs tribes are ok if one ruler leads them, and it doesn’t matter what tribe he came from.

Why worry about small things like that when you’re living comfortably? Thats probably why.

Your proposed name sounds great tbh

Yes I heard that story. But how is it Islamically possible for a king to have 25 wives. We're only allowed 4 right?

I don't know maybe he was married to the rest only in name or maybe as concubines

I don't think it was 25, but it was definitely a large number, but I think he would get married and then have children and then divorce them and then marry the daughter of another tribal sheikh, and so on, but it was a smart move.
