By now, the people of Sharjah had had enough and called on Sultan to rule them. On 1 November 1924, Sultan bin Saqr, backed by a force raised by Abdulrahman, was welcomed into Sharjah and deposed Khalid in a brief, 11-day conflict.[6][7] Abdulrahman's son-in-law was now Ruler of Sharjah and would come to depend on him almost completely.
