Mohammed bin Salman: Pioneering a future of limitless possibilities
By Asim AbdulfattahPatrick, a university student, rushed into the lecture hall, panting heavily. Entering 15 minutes late, he was met with a disapproving glare from Professor Madeleine, a faculty member with over 25 years of experience, earning an annual income of $157,000.She frowned and said sternly, “Patrick, it seems you’re not taking your studies seriously. Your repeated tardiness won’t help you succeed in this course. You need to show commitment, discipline, and responsibility to succeed — you might end up homeless or struggling if you fail to graduate.”Patrick lowered his head, catching his breath, and drifted into a daydream about the upcoming college football game, where he hoped to lead his team to victory.Though not an exceptional student, Patrick was a star athlete...

Welcoming the world to Saudi Arabia
With the fleeing of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the collapse of the Syrian army, and the fall of cities such as Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Hama, and Sweida into the hands of armed opposition factions, an important chapter in Syria’s modern history has drawn to a close.For nearly six decades, the Assad regime—first under Hafez and then his son Bashar—dominated the nation.Now, Syrians face immense challenges as they embark on rebuilding their country.Foremost among these is restoring security and stability to enable the return of millions of displaced Syrians and refugees to their homes. This process will require extensive reconstruction efforts.However, I hope this critical period will not be marred by prolonged conflicts, internal divisions, or external interventions.I have...

Beyond football: The impact of Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup hosting
I wouldn't strip the shirt off my back for many people,but for my brother, I would.And no, I don’t know how to sew,but I’d learn for him.
If he needed shoes,I’d walk barefoot over gravel,my feet bleeding,still asking if he wanted me to carry him.
If he was hungry,I’d peel him my last orange.
He probably doesn’t know it,but if I saw him breaking down,I’d use the sewing skills I just learnedand stitch him back together—even if I had to pull thread from my own skin.
My brother is not just my blood.He is half of me.A part of me I’d never trade.
For him, I’d give everything.I’d pour out all the light inside of me,even if it left me empty—even if it made me nothing—as long as he never felt alone at night.
Because I loved him before he had a name.
