The exhibition records the first expansion that was in the 7th year of Hijrah, and the subsequent historical expansions in the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs — may Allah Almighty be pleased with them — and then the successive states after them until the historic expansions of the first, second and third Saudi states.
