In the face of God – Dr. Abdullah bin Musa Al -Tayer
Dr. Abdullah bin Musa Al -Tayer
God does not leave us others, we are in the face of God, words that a Saudi woman uttered and circulated by social networks, tells her simple, sincere relationship between leadership and people in the Kingdom, a relationship that scholars have not given its appropriate importance, as it almost expresses a unique social contract of its kind , Grow, developed and powerful over time and in all circumstances. That time lady reminded me of my mother, as if she is pronouncing her tongue, and she is pleasant to God from any of them or evil near or far, so you find her directly saying: We are in the face of God.
The loyalty of the Saudis to their leadership and their homeland is not related to interests, but rather a firm principle and belief that they condemn God. I know a lot from those who confront the defense of the homeland, do not sleep at night, and they make every tongue that extends towards leadership and the homeland badly, while they are still in the waiting list to obtain the appropriate jobs for them, yet the love of the country and loyalty to leadership has nothing to do with the mutual interests that frame relations People with their rulers; Once the economy’s mood is disturbed, positions are changed by leaders and parties.
During the past days, the Saudis went out on social networks, and in the streets and squares, they express their sincere feelings towards leadership and the homeland on the occasion of the founding anniversary, no one presented them with a “bribe” as the haters in the first world imagine, when they explain these feelings according to a utilitarian mold, and accuse the kingdom of buying The loyalty of its citizens. This is one of the most ridiculous comments that I hear by some Western journalists, because they simply measure the conditions of others over their conditions, while the Saudi leadership is watching over the citizen’s comfort, and puts his interest first, and not providing party interests and ideological agendas that triumph for the self at the expense of the public interest.
We all remember the statement of His Highness Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman when he said: We return to what we were before – the moderate state of Islam that open to all religions and the world – we will not waste 30 years of our lives in dealing with extremist ideas; We will destroy it today. He has fulfilled his promise, as the return was to a true, moderate religion, and to the roots of the establishment of the state that challenged internal and external pressures to flourish and fall, then rise and fall, then rise and unite most of the Arabian Peninsula in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is today filling the hearing of the world and its sight.
Before that, with decades, the Russian historian Alexei Vasiliev wrote in the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that the leadership of the Saudi state “was a turning point in Arab history, as it laid the basis for a political entity that will continue for centuries, mixing religious revival with tribal rule.” From the beginning, the Kingdom formed its identity, invested its components and strengths, and made a unique system of government that was not drawn from the West or from the East, but rather a local genius mixture that proved its ability to life for three centuries and increases. The British explorer Charles Montagu Dugty, who traveled through the Arabian Peninsula in the nineteenth century, added: The Al Saud family “has emerged as a unified force in a land of tribal divisions, and established a country rooted in Islamic principles and tribal loyalty.”
Historian William Vice agrees with him by saying: “The second Saudi state has shown the Al Saud’s ability to recover from adversity and maintain their vision of the unified Arab state despite external pressures and internal competitions.” The matter is related to the efficiency of the innate leadership that God has poured into this family, which started with Muhammad bin Saud, and it flourishes after 300 years with Muhammad bin Salman.
The British diplomat, Sir Percy Cox, King Abdulaziz, described what could be literally dropped on Prince Muhammad bin Salman: “Ibn Saud was a man with an unusual vision and design. He united the Arabian Peninsula tribes with a mixture of military ingenuity, political intelligence, and religious legitimacy.”
In his book “With Lawrence in the Arabian Peninsula”, the American journalist Loile Thomas considers that Ibn Saud is a “tall figure, and a Sahrawi warrior who turned a fragmented land into a unified kingdom. His legacy is the modern Saudi state, and it is a testimony of his leadership. ” The matter did not stop with journalists, historians and travelers. Former President of the United States of America, Franklin Roosevelt, said after his meeting with King Abdulaziz in 1945: “The Al Saud family holds the key to one of the most important strategic areas in the world, and their leadership will constitute the future of the Middle East.” And US President Donald Trump witnessed eighty years after his predecessor Roosevelt is fulfilled.
