Hajj pilgrimage and Kingdom’s success in difficult test
AS the world continues to reel from the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, Saudi Arabia successfully maintained a delicate balance between the health of its citizens, residents and pilgrims on one hand, and the organization of Hajj rituals without compromising on their religious significance, on the other.The Hajj rituals were held under strict coronavirus preventive protocols, allowing only a limited number of people in order to preserve the health and safety of pilgrims, including citizens and residents. But this exceptional situation should not in any case take away the great and commendable role that the Kingdom has been playing in undertaking the Hajj operation in a meticulous and flawless manner not only this year but over the past decades.The successful organization of Hajj...

Fundamentalism and return of the Taliban
Some nations and cultures lived through a phase of fundamentalism as they sought to achieve a higher civilized level. This is what happened in the predominantly Western cultures in all fields in this phase of the history of human civilization.The problem is that after liberating itself from the dark phase, the Western world had its fluctuating positions with regard to fundamentalism, and this is what happened in the Arab and Islamic world too.I want to say emphatically so as to dispel any misunderstanding that Islamic fundamentalism has nothing to do with the religion of Islam, just as Jewish or Christian fundamentalism has nothing to do with Judaism or Christianity.Fundamentalism is a political theory and partisan organizations use religion and exploit its holiness to achieve narrow...

KAUST... a Saudi University in a new world
By Ibrahim AbdulmajeedTwo months ago, I received two issues of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) publications from a fellow Saudi journalist Mr. Ali Makki Idris. What caught my attention upon reading them was the sense of modernity of life in the “new Saudi Arabia”.I was astonished by the level of scientific and cultural progress of many of its youth. This holds true to all young and adult Saudis that I happen to see on the media or those I interviewed in Egypt and abroad. I also knew that KAUST participated in Cairo International Book Fair 2021 with a professional crew, including Mr. Idris, who is constantly active and highly knowledgeable of KAUST.I learned from going through these two magazines that KAUST is a Saudi university that has been actively...

A different Hajj in unprecedented circumstances
PREPARATIONS for the upcoming annual pilgrimage of Hajj are proceeding in a manner that befits the guests of God and the Kingdom and its constant concern for the success of the pilgrimage in terms of its organization, security, health, and safety, as well as the services.In the current critical circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic, the number of pilgrims has been fixed at 60,000, and that is tantamount to taking care of six million pilgrims in normal circumstances.This is out of diligence not to allow the occurrence of any loophole and for this, intense and resolute scrutiny on every detail is warranted. In previous years too, the Saudi government made the Hajj permit mandatory for the performance of the pilgrimage, and it took punitive measures against those who try to breach...

AlBader: Poetic phenomenon
Literature through history preforms the function of transferring the unseen into seen and the meaningless into meaning. Nevertheless this job requires exceptional skills and talents in order to make sense and provide pleasure.With my major being English Literature and Arts and Language, I found that poetry can provide insights into human conditions and emotions in a way nothing else can as all else pales before it, be it books, movies, novels, prose, drama, science, non-fiction or mythology.Considering poetry being the genre I like in literature, I would pick a Saudi poet Prince Bader Bin Abdul Muhsin, the icon of the Arabic poetry, as a poet par excellence. Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language and it was this cadence that pulled me...

Saudi Arabia has become more assertive!
Here we go again. The General Directorate for Narcotics Control thwarts an attempt to smuggle 14,400,000 amphetamine tablets hidden inside a shipment coming from Lebanon, an yet another attempt by smugglers after the earlier bid to traffic into the Kingdom 5 million pills of Captagon stuffed inside fruit imported from Lebanon too had been foiled.Saudi Arabia banned the import of Lebanese fruits and vegetables in April after a reported increase in drug smuggling from Beirut. And with this latest effort to flood the Saudi soil with amphetamine tablets, the Lebanon government’s promise to fix these unacceptable practices against international laws and concepts seems to vanish into thin air.Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz Bin Saud’s assertive and forceful statement...

Mohamed Salah
The most famous football player in the Arab world achieved unprecedented successes with his current club, Liverpool FC, by winning the English Premier League Championship after a career in Egypt.Salah’s journey started at a local Egyptian club called Al Mokawloon Al Arab instead of the more famous clubs such as Al-Ahly and Zamalek. Salah went on to play internationally at different clubs; FC Basel, Chelsea FC, ACF Fiorentina, then AS Roma.He returned to England to join Liverpool FC. He raised arguably one of the most critical, substantial, and consequential issues against FIFA concerning Intellectual Property and Advertising Rights for players, teams, bodies, and national, continental, and international sports federations.

Role of Saudi women in enhancing the status of trade in Kingdom
For a long time, the Saudi women population remained an unutilized and unconsidered human resource. However, if this human resource can get incorporated into nation-building, it can be pivotal to Saudi’s economic development. Traditionally, these women face various barriers that limit their economic potential in accelerating, substantively, Saudi Arabia’s economy. These barriers include family’s domestic obligations, place, nature of work, cultural norms, unfavorable working conditions, lack of awareness, vocational and technical training.However, currently, Saudi Arabia’s government is aggressively and gradually eliminating these barriers that barred women from engaging in wealth creation and the nation’s economic building. Today’s Saudi Arabia is currently giving women more...

Online Brotherhood and digital platforms
Political Islam groups have made a long and arduous journey ever since the inception of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the late 20th century, reaching up to the present world, while making the most of social media and other new media platforms brought about by the modern technologies. The journey will give the impression to any observer and a diligent researcher about the ability of these groups to reshape and adapt as well as to rely on contradictions.The story is old where these groups used to reject any new ideas and inventions in their religious language of forbiddance and rejection. Then, after a period of time, they gradually waived the prohibition and scrambled for new ideas, realizing that the benefits of the permissibility outweigh gains from the prohibition in their pursuit...
