Lightning is a good companion

• When was the time to come to the world?

•• I saw the light before the dawn of a bitter winter day, in late 1379 AH, between the arms of the charming city of Abha, that gorgeous jewel that dances with fog in an eternal hug, where its cold breezes harmonize with the calm of the mountains and the beauty of the picturesque nature.

What season you were born?

•• You chose the winter season to see the light in it; I was a drop of fresh, fresh rain drops. The cold was a good companion and the rain is my beginning.

• What does belonging to a province, city or profession mean?

•• What is the most wonderful to be the beginning of your life in the city of Abha, that sparkling dorm that sits on the crown of our beloved homeland, Saudi Arabia, God has blessed it with the beauty of the captivating nature and the magic of fog embraces the mountains, and it became a symbol of brilliance and beauty in this tall country, and your pride in your belonging to this blessed land, which we finally celebrated, on the day of its ancient establishment; As three centuries have passed since the establishment of the first Saudi state, it is a feeling that flows from the depths of the soul. It is not just a land, but the cradle of a glorious history, and a lighthouse that illuminates the paths of the future, gathered in its ancient fabric the threads of originality and pride with the horizons of progress and prosperity.

Small adventure

• Did you grow up in a village environment, and what did your early awareness of events, situations and people wake up?

•• I grew up in the city of Abha, that city that embraced the simplicity of life, with its warm spirit and its clay homes that tell the stories of the ancestors. Its ancient narrow alleys embraced our small steps, and the weekly Tuesday market was a beating heart that brings together the sons and daughters of the neighboring villages, and my early consciousness woke up to this simple and rich world in detail. I used to see the students of the neighboring villages traveling the distances to reach its father; The schools were limited, and the middle school and above were available only here. They were carrying with them their small aspirations and the tales of their villages, so that a picture of interconnection, patience and diligence was in my mind.

• How was the first day of fasting in your life?

•• The first day of fasting in my life was a small adventure that carries the flavor of childhood and the warmth of education in our conservative society. At the time, I was in the first grades of the elementary stage, taking my first steps towards understanding this great ritual.

• What is the position of your mother and your father on your early fasting, and is our ears for you or one of them by cutting fast by virtue of exhaustion?

•• My father’s position, may God have mercy on him, and my mother, may God protect her, on my early ruminals, was a wonderful mixture of affectionate encouragement and gentle consideration. They motivated me with the words of praise and support, drawing a picture of fasting as a beautiful challenge that I can take proudly, especially when I was at that young age during the first rows of elementary. But, at the same time, they were watching me with mercy, realizing that I was a child I am still testing the limits of my energy. There was never pressure to complete fasting if you felt exhausted. They allowed me to cut off fasting if I appeared to be fatigue, with a reassuring smile and words like “It is sufficient here today, God willing, tomorrow will complete.” This balance between motivation and understanding made me feel safe and trustworthy, and I was going back to the fasting experience the next day with greater enthusiasm. The wise approach of them was a early lesson that religion is easy, and that sincere intentions are the essence of everything.

Al -Tanoor and the Bake bread

• What was the family to fascinate at that time?

•• Suhoor in those days reflects the simplicity of life and the warmth of traditions in our family in the city of Abha. We were gathering around a modest table with the popular foods that we are accustomed to, such as the fresh enlightenment bread that smells its perfume at home, served with the available Adam, perhaps the soup of vegetables or a delicious broth made my mother, may God protect her. Often, the nakedness was topped by suhoor, mixed with generosity with municipal ghee and natural honey that was coming from the hands of the people of the neighboring villages. These dishes were not just food, but rather a source of energy that carries us throughout the day, they are saturated and nutritious, preventing hunger and thirst from infiltrating us.

• What is the home activity that you were assigned to?

•• By virtue of the fact that my father, may God have mercy on him, was an employee in Abha, and we lived in the heart of the city away from the burdens of agriculture or grazing, I did not cost traditional home activities like that. Our life in the city was about stability and providing an appropriate environment to focus on studying and intellectual growth. I was a full -time study, but my real passion was beyond that to the world of wide reading. My father was keen to bring a variety of books, magazines and newspapers to the home, and I found my haven at leisure.

• Which feature you feel is distinguished from your peers?

•• I was different from my peers in something that was not common among everyone of that young age. While many were having fun by playing the ball and pushing behind the streets and squares, I was not a fan. My focus was on studying, and at my spare time I found my free reading refuge. That habit – the love of seeing and diving in books and magazines – it is what meant me from many of my friends and peers in Abha at the time.

There I felt separated

• Who do you remember from childhood colleagues?

•• Childhood colleagues and study are really many, and their names are dancing in my memory as stars that illuminate my first days in Abha. It is difficult to remember some of them without being afraid to forget others who were part of that beautiful story. But among them highlights the name of His Excellency Dr. Saud bin Saeed Al -Muhtami, whose fellowship was not just a transit transit, but rather a long and distinctive journey that spanned through different life stages.

Why do you live in nostalgia for our first days in life?

•• Nostalgia for our early days in life inhabits us; Because it is like a window from which we have a time that carried a simplicity and warmth that is not met. It is a retrieval of age stages that brought us together with the family and colleagues in one place, with the smell of the past and its special journey; The capabilities were limited, but hearts are full. In those days, family and community interdependence represented the pillar of life, calm suhoor sessions with the family, the sounds of narrow alleys, filled with the stories of people, and the Tuesday market that was beating life and real communication.

• Where did you feel the state of separation from the village and the living pattern changed you?

•• I felt the separation of that quiet life that I lived in Abha when I traveled to the United States to complete my studies. Before the mission, my life was in Abha – that dominant depositary city – as a quiet painting drawn in the colors of simplicity and tranquility, far from the hustle and bustle of the major cities and their noise.

But when I put my feet in the United States, everything changed. The transition to a new environment was as if I moved to another world in the full sense of the word. The difference was huge, especially at that time; As life there was filled with speed and the completely different living style from what you used to. Everything seemed strange at first, from the accelerated life to a new culture that I only knew from the books and magazines that I read in my childhood.

• When did your relationship with education start?

•• My relationship with education started at an early age, when I completed five years of my life. At that time, my father – may God have mercy on him – took me in a move that I did not realize at the time, as he took me to one of his friends who was in charge of managing an elementary school in Abha. After a short meeting, I found myself the next day I stand on a semester threshold, I start my journey with knowledge and knowledge. That moment was the first seed that was planted in my passion for learning.

• What are the positions related to the mind from that stage?

•• One of the outstanding situations in my mind from that early academic stage, I remember those warm moments that my father – may God have mercy on him – was drawn to me. He used to come to me at the time of school space, take me from among my colleagues with his calm smile, and take me to his office near school. There, I eat food – a simple meal that carries the taste of tenderness and attention – then brings me to school to complete my day. That habit left a profound impact on me, and it was not just a break from the study, but rather an implicit message about the value of education and the father’s role in being present in the life of his son. This increased my association with school and my love for science; Because I felt that education is not only a duty, but part of a life full of support and love.

Suhoor is a quiet moment

• What is your Ramadan program from dawn to suhoor?

•• My Ramadan program from dawn to suhoor does not move much away from the rhythm of my life in normal days, so I am keen to maintain the regularity I used to. I go early to my work as usual. I would like to keep this system; Because it gives me a feeling of stability even in the holy month. Praise be to God, I always feel that the time in Ramadan carries a blessing, especially the watches that pass through activity and achievement, as if today extends to embrace everything I want to achieve.

During the day, I focus on my work, and I find that the rate of completion of tasks rises in Ramadan compared to other months. Perhaps because fasting gives me a deeper focus, or because the spiritual atmosphere ships me with energy. After returning from work, I spend time in worship and comfort, and then I conclude my day with sleeping early to prepare for suhoor. For me, suhoor for me a quiet moment I am provided with energy with a light meal, then I go back to sleep for a new day. This simple routine makes Ramadan a mixture of productivity and tranquility, and thank God for that blessing that makes every moment in it special.

• Which cooks, food, or dishes are keen to be on your Ramadan table, especially local?

•• In fact, I am not one of those who adhere to certain dishes or insist on having a specific type of food on my Ramadan table. I believe in the saying, “We eat to live, and we do not live to eat.”

But our Ramadan trip is not without the distinctive touches with the care and attention of my dear wife, Dr. Mona Al Mushait. It gives the table a special luster, and is keen to be folded with the pleasant and delicious dishes, with a mixture of local flavors that carry the fragrant heritage. You may find a bit of enlightenment bread with Adam, or perhaps a glimpse of Abha’s memories with the naked mixed with ghee and honey, along with other dishes that combine simplicity and pleasure. I leave her freedom of creativity, and she in turn makes every meal a experience that combines delicious taste and attention to our health, so I find myself grateful for this balance that you add to our Ramadan days.

With time, friends are scattered

• Are you following radio or television programs, what are they?

•• In Ramadan, one of the most beautiful advantages of the holy month is evident in the family meeting, especially at the breakfast table; We exchange conversations and live the moments of warmth together. After the Maghrib prayer, we used to sit together to follow the programs that Saudi television displays between Morocco and Isha. I am not usually one of the permanent followers of radio or television programs outside Ramadan, but this month I find the pleasure of the family’s participation in those moments.

• Why does the number of friends decrease whenever age?

•• The number of friends decreases with our age; Because life begins to impose its own rhythm on us. Its concerns multiply, and the obligations accumulate – work, family, daily responsibilities – all take a space more than our time and energy. With time, friends scattered, some of them settled in other cities, and some of them dived in the sea of ​​their special preoccupations, and the meetings decrease and distances are spousal, geographically and morally.

• What is your wise wisdom, the hair house, and the color that you love?

•• Wisdom:

Do not postpone today’s work tomorrow.

Poetry House:

“And the demands of the wish, but the world will be taken over.”

White, the color of the serenity.

• What do you dream?

•• I dream of God’s success. Then I aspire to the consent of my dear mother – may God protect her and prolong her life – so I see her smile filling my heart with light and tranquility. And I hope for my children – may God grant them success and happiness, and that God guides them to the path of goodness and farmers, so they will be a source of pride and pleasure for me in this world and the hereafter.

The spirit of unity and the homeland

• Do you have sports tendencies, what is your favorite team?

•• I am not a passionate pursuit of sports with passion, but if I have a team that I prefer, it is the national team, a symbol of pride and belonging, in which I find an expression of the spirit of unity and patriotism.

• Any poem you see is weighed with gold water?

•• In fact, Arabic literature abounds with many wonderful poems that carry the fragrant history and the beauty of the language, which makes the choice of one of them is not easy. Each poem carries a special spirit, whether it is in praise of the Prophet or describing nature or nostalgia for homelands, all of which are invaluable poetic treasures.

• What time or age you wished you had lived in?

•• Praise be to God, who wrote to me to live at this time, because I am completely satisfied with what he gave me good and blessing. What was achieved for me of success and happiness is that it is with the success of God first, then with the good calls of the parents that accompanied me like light on my way.

Dive into the books is distinguished from many of my friends and a peer
