The secret of happiness
Al Madina NewspaperTHE question on everyone’s mind these days seems to be: How can we be happy and what are the reasons of happiness? People wrongly associate entertainment, laughing and mockery with happiness but these things can only bring temporary relief rather than a lasting feeling of happiness.Human development experts have listed many basic factors for happiness. Firstly, all emotions function as viruses. It means that they are contagious, whether they are positive such as happiness or negative such as sadness and depression.They can be transmitted from one person to another just like the flu. For example, in a situation like a funeral everybody can share sorrow and grief because they can feel the sadness around themselves. The point is that whenever you go somewhere where there...

Tablets and smartphones are putting our children in danger
Al-Madina newspaperMANY families nowadays have a tendency to give their children cellphones or tablets to keep them busy. Handheld devices now play a huge part in the lives of our children. Most parents are unaware of the negative effects that these devices can have on their children.This is especially the case when our children become addicted to technology, which it seems is the only way for them to calm down.Al-Madina newspaper recently published eight international studies showing seven serious illnesses that children could develop as a result of the extensive use of handheld devices.Some studies show that smartphones and tablets could ruin children’s innocence, making them victims of several physical and mental diseases that could ruin their future.One of the studies was by Oxford...

The shock therapy for rapid cure
Al-Riyadh newspaperTHE basic message conveyed by Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, during his recent interview with The Washington Post, which is a strong critic of Saudi Arabia, was that the Kingdom has nothing to hide or skip and that all files are open to debate and discussion with all parties, more with its opponents than its supporters.The Crown Prince spoke to David Ignatius of The Post about most issues that concern the international community and the Kingdom as well as some internal issues, especially the big transformations, anti-corruption campaigns, empowerment of women, and the methodology of building a “new Saudi Arabia.”The most striking thing I have noticed in the Crown Prince’s speeches and decisions is the power of correction...

KSA preferred place for migration
Al-Watan newspaperWHEN I read a report of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that Saudi Arabia ranked seventh among countries that immigrants wish to move to, it did not surprise me. During the last three years, I have got an opportunity to acquaint with students of various nationalities in Chinese universities, who are pursuing higher studies in different disciplines such as solar engineering, electronics engineering, train technology, automated control, medicine, physics and literature.I don’t exaggerate when I say that many of these students asked me when they knew my nationality how to get a job in Saudi Arabia and migrate to the country. A final year PhD student, who is conducting research on digital security engineering, requested me to give him my telephone number and invited me to...

Calling to prayer with loud voice
Al-Watan newspaperBEFORE writing this article I asked myself: Should I really need an introduction to prove that I strictly follow the Islamic faith and I am not an apostate or atheist or secularist or liberalist or supporter of Western culture, in order for readers to accept my opinion on this topic without prejudice.Personally I enjoy listening to adhan or the call to prayer from mosques and it gives me immense pleasure and mental peace. I also enjoy taking part in congregational prayers at mosque, although it’s not compulsory on Muslims as per Shariah in which I have specialized.During my travels to Western countries, I used to find time to visit Islamic centers and attend Friday prayers despite the prayer concession enjoyed by a traveler in Islam. During Ramadan, I enjoyed attending...

A promising future
Al-Riyadh newspaperTHE words of the Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman have made a deep impression on me. “Saudi Vision 2030 represents the Kingdom’s development and economic goals,” the prince has stated.He also revealed that the vision would be activated irrespective of whether the oil price falls or rises. He pointed out that by 2020 Saudis could live without oil revenue. What he said was reassuring and it showed his wisdom and smart way of looking at things.In spite of everything people say, this is what we need and the leaders of this country deserve applause for this. The Vision 2030 is the best example of the national ambition to create a bright future for the coming generations. It is a dream plan that contains economic and social programs that would accelerate the desired...

Have mercy on patients!
Al-Madina newspaperTHE specialist hospital and research center in Jeddah extends advanced healthcare services to thousands of patients in the western and southern regions of Saudi Arabia with a high level of efficacy and efficiency.As a patient who visits the hospital regularly, I am very proud of the care and attention I receive from the staff there despite the large number of patients and the limited facilities available compared to some of the specialist hospitals and research centers in developed countries.The hospital has had several medical achievements to its credit and has won several awards, including for administrative and medical quality control.The most important successes in the medical field achieved by the hospital include 73 epilepsy operations conducted in 2017, which led...

May God bring those days back
Okaz newspaperI AM connected to the Prophet's Mosque through a visiting relationship from a very young age. I was the youngest child in the family and my mother carried me wherever she went.At that time my mother used to observe itikaf (the Islamic practice of staying in a mosque for a certain number of days, fully devoting oneself to worship away from all worldly matters) in Makkah for a month and in Madinah for another month. So the first memories of my childhood include the constant visits to the two holy mosques. The servants of Allah would visit both mosques remembering Him, asking for His forgiveness and seeking His pleasure. We slept, ate and drank inside the mosques without any barrier separating men and women. There was no need for such a barrier because all hearts and minds...

Encourage investment in a Saudi medical tourism industry
Al-Watan newspaperMedical tourism is globally considered economically important as it annually involves millions of rich travelers from around the world. For various reasons Thailand, Singapore and India have a 60 percent share of the world’s total medical tourism industry. This is because of the cheap prices in healthcare, the availability of experts and the quality of hospitals. In 2014, there were 13 hospitals in Thailand that secured American accreditation due to the quality of the hospitals there. Recent studies published in Oxford Economic Papers said that the industry was worth over $430 billion and that 3 to 4 percent of the world population traveled for healthcare.Within the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is known for its medical skills. However, the idea of investing in medical...

A long-awaited return to normalcy
Al-Riyadh NewspaperAll societies at one point or another suffer from cultural regression but they always find a way to break through the barriers and unblock the restrictions that prevent them as a whole from progressing and developing.Countries and societies are like a living creature with a life cycle. Like any other species, societies also undergo the four distinct life stages: childhood, youth, middle age and old age. Indeed, they might go through hard times and get sick. They might even lose consciousness, but they will eventually stand up and continue their normal life.Anyone who has studied human civilization and looked deeply into the history of people and their experiences as a society will come to the conclusion that people must make a collective decision to identify fault lines...
