The children and school projects
Al-Madina newspaperI WENT out of the stationery store in extreme anger because the salesman called Hanifa had spoiled my child’s project for the “young inventor” program.I had spent a lot of time brainstorming on the project idea and visited a number of stationery stores before handing over the idea to Hanifa.I was impressed with his work and liked the models he had prepared. I gave him my idea and paid his fee believing that he would do the work perfectly well. But when I came back to collect the work I was disappointed as Hanifa did not live up to my expectations.All project works given to my son by his schoolteacher are usually done by me, but when a Class II student of the primary school was asked to make a mathematical chart, it was even beyond my capacity and this was the...

The child and the smoking crime
Al-Jazirah newspaperABOUT five months ago I was in Jeddah sitting at a coffee shop in the hotel where I was staying. A family was sitting next me. They had a child who was five or six years old. They offered him the Shisha to poke out smoke while they were laughing joyously of the way the child was smoking the Shisha. Among them was an old woman whom I assumed to be the child's mother.The scene exasperated me to the limit. I felt not only angry but also nervous and almost out of control.I wished so much that I had the ability to take the Shisha in my hand and break it into pieces to stop this ugly scene.However, I resorted to the weakest faith and went to the hotel management. I asked to see the manager of the coffee shop and told him about what I had just watched.The manager went to...

Why are they interfering in our affairs?
Alriyadh newspaperLately, the Kingdom has been at the center of a barrage of criticism both online and on television networks. Some praise, some criticize and others analyze our every move. Whenever someone writes or tweets something critical of the Kingdom, Saudi writers and tweeters most always respond to them in defense of their country.Responses to criticism are of two types: An objection followed by a rebuttal or abusive replies. Often, these exchanges escalate to mutual insults. None of this interests me because I have lived through plenty of situations where Arabs are criticized and blamed, a trend that has been going on since the 1970s. The only explanation as to why the Kingdom, out of all Arab countries, is being criticized these days is that the world is interconnected and...

Why are they interfering in our affairs?

A typical day
OkazCROWN Prince Muhammad Bin Salman represents more than just his ideas, opinions and personal beliefs. He also represents a political ideology, conviction and a state’s support. Crown Prince Muhammad is a young man who grew up in a modern world during a period that comes with its own problems and it is for these reasons why he insists on moving forward to a brighter future and not looking back at our past. He has led a period of balanced change that does not run counter to our religion, morals and social values. God bless Saudi Arabia and its leaders, as well as its people who are now ready to be one of the best societies from all perspectives!During his visit to Egypt, Crown Prince Muhammad gave further evidence of the new Saudi thought through a program that revealed a lot about the...

Limitless violations
Al-madinahRESEARCH shows that the most effective regulations are those that apply to everyone, i.e. they have the same precision, seriousness and rigor regardless of one’s identity or socioeconomic standing. The success of any system or law depends on the cooperation of all members of society without exception. Unfortunately, we are in a state where members of society are unable to work together to make a system work. When it comes to driving, people openly break the rules of Saher, our traffic monitoring system, despite knowing that their actions are putting themselves and others at great risk.Outside of London’s famous Harrods luxury department store, cars are slapped with parking violations if they park in prohibited areas. In many cases, they are towed and this shows that owners of...

Obtaining doctorate for enhancing one’s image
Al-Jazeera newspaperYou may be surprised to know that former Cuban President Fidel Castro was a doctorate in law, Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel has a doctorate degree in quantum chemistry and former US President Barack Obama also has a doctorate degree in law. However, none of them ever introduced themselves to the public as doctors. I always thought it was normal to be introduced as a doctor because that is the way representatives at the Arab League are usually introduced in the media. However, there are ministers who point out that they prefer to be referred to by their designations.Some people think that doctorates negatively affect people. Some people believe that they have better ideas than others because they have accumulated wider knowledge throughout the years. Our society is...

Is the bathroom a source of creative ideas?
Al-Madina NewspaperI previously wrote about the inspiration of creative ideas as a result of time spent in the bathroom. Citing several examples of people who get most of their creative ideas in the bathroom, I devoted an entire episode of my show “Khuth Hal” (“Here’s a Solution”) to the correlation between time spent in the bathroom and creativity. Today, we are discussing “bathroom readers”, a group that has become a focus for many types of research.To begin, I’d like to talk about a famous figure in Arab culture. Abu Al Barakat Ibn Taymiyyah, one of our righteous forefathers who was known for having books recited to him while he was in the bathroom. I joined this group of readers when I first visited the UK in 2004. For me, I like to add some flavor to things and not...

Make the most of your brain
Al-Watan DailyARAB culture has a long history of conveying certain events or traditions from generation to generation. Currently, people who prefer to believe in what has been conveyed to them instead of using their brains to analyze a story and accordingly establish its veracity, have created a wall around their brains that blocks them to introduce rationality into their lives.“The brain is one of God’s greatest gifts to humans, a feature that has no parallel in the animal world. However, we only use a small percentage of our brains and we need some spiritual enlightenment for our full understanding. Therefore, using both our brain and what has been conveyed to us is needed so we don’t get confused by doubts, which hinder certainty and divine knowledge,” said Muhammed Imara in one...

Social media devouring TV channels
Al-Madina newspaperTHE emergence of online newspapers on the one hand and 24-hour satellite news channels on the other caused a considerable drain in the revenues of print media organizations.The debate had been whether people would continue to read newspapers and printed books or whether they would turn exclusively to e-newspapers and e-books in the future. And if they still read printed books and newspapers despite having satellite channels that bring live news and other programs direct to their living rooms, the question that arose was how much space each would occupy.These issues were at the center of long discussions as many changes were happening in news production, which has now been depending more on modern technology and innovation than the traditional editorial tools.The crisis...

MBS in '60 Minutes'
Okaz newspaperIN a special interview Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman had told some of my colleagues that only death would stop him from working to realize his ambitions for his country and people.
