Al-Ghata'at is considered the oldest and the most important settlement of the Ikhwan movement and the most significant in the preparation of soldiers, as described by the brother of King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, Prince Saud Ibn Abdul Rahman Al Saud in the book of "The Saudis and the Islamic Solution." It was completely destroyed after the Battle of Sabilla. Up until Majid ibn Khathayla asked King Abdul Aziz to allow him to live there.
