حلّقت بأجنحة الزّهو، وسمقت بأطياف الفخار، وخالجني شعور الانتماء الحقيقي الأصيل لأمة عظيمة، ووطن معطاء، في ظل قيادته الحكيمة، وأنا أتابع العديد من المغتربات يعبّرن بتلقائية محببة للنفس عن تجربتهن الثرية على هذه الأرض الطيبة، مُجسّدات هذه التجربة في العديد من الأفعال العفوية الصادقة والكلمات العميقة المعبّرة. تقول الأوكرانية داشا: أنا في السعودية، أكثر بلدان العالم أمناً. اختصرت هذه الفتاة تجربة آلاف المقيمين والزوار الذين اكتشفوا، في قلب الرياض، وجهاً آخر للحياة لم تألفه ذاكرتهم السابقة.
تنشر مقاطع يومية في صفحتها على الإنستغرام عن شوارعها ومقاهيها وسكانها، والحياة الاجتماعية فيها، وتُظهر كيف يمكن لحياة الاغتراب أن تكون غنية ومليئة باللحظات الآمنة والتجارب الجميلة، في محتوى يمزج بين العفوية والانبهار.
تخرج «داشا» من بيتها دون أن تُقفل الباب، في مشهد صادق وعميق الدلالة لمفهوم الأمن والأمان
شهادة غير متكلّفة على ما ينعم به الوطن من أمن واستقرار، لا يُختزل في قوانين رادعة، بل يُستشعر في تفاصيل الحياة اليومية، في الأحياء، في العيون، وفي التصرفات التلقائيّة.
وتقول أُخرى من بولندا أنا أسير في الشارع في أمان تام، والساعة الآن هي الثالثة صباحاً. فقط في السعودية يمكن للفتيات أن يمشين وحدهن في الخارج بعد منتصف الليل من دون أي خوف.
تصف لمتابعيها على الإنستغرام كيف يمكن للمرأة المغتربة أن تجد لنفسها مكاناً آمناً وراقياً وسط العاصمة السعودية.
وتقول الأمريكية هيذر: إن السعودية أعطتها فرصة للعمل والعيش الآمن وحياة جديدة.
كما أجمعت بعض السيدات المغتربات أنهن وجدن الاستقرار والتوازن النفسي، إضافة إلى الاندماج والانصهار في المجتمع السعودي ومحيطه الحضاري، بكل بساطة وارتياح.
وتضيف نحن سعداء بوجودنا في المملكة، تأقلمنا مع تقاليد وثقافة المجتمع والتطور الاجتماعي الذي تشهده البلاد، بفضل رؤية كريمة أخرجتنا من ظلمات الصحوة إلى نور الحياة وجودتها
ما قلنه ليس استثناءً ولا مفاجأة، بل هو الحقيقة التي يشعر بها كل زائر أو مقيم في السعودية.
يقول صديق بريطاني هنا لا يراك الناس غريباً، بل ضيفاً عزيزاً يتولّون بأنفسهم رعايتك، والوقوف على خدمتك، وضمان سلامتك وتحقيق رغباتك، بأريحية وسرعة واهتمام لا مثيل لهما.
كل هذه المشاعر وغيرها لا تتجلّى في الكلمات فقط، بل في المواقف والاحداث، سمعتها في حديث أكثر من مغترب على أرض الوطن.
على اختلاف مذاهب علماء الاجتماع في معايير تطور الأمم والمجتمعات، فإن أكثرها استقراراً تلك التي استطاعت أن تخلق حالة توازن بين موروثها الحضاري، ومواكبة الحياة في توثبها المستمر، وصيرورتها الحتمية. امتحان تسقط فيه العديد من المجتمعات، حين تجعل من التطور خصماً لدوداً لموروثاتها، ومهدداً شديد الخطورة على حضارتها وقيمها.
المجتمع السعودي أكتوى بنيران هذا الصراع بصورة شائكة ومعقدة، لتداخل عناصر الصراع ما بين الموروث الحضاري، والعادات والتقاليد والدين، مقاومةً لزمن طويل كل محاولات الخروج من شرانق التقوقع والانكفاء، واستقبال الحياة بكل ما تتطلبه من تنازلات ضرورية، دون إخلال بالقيم، أو تهديد للمبادئ، أو استهانة بعقيدة.
كنا نُرمى بألسنة حداد عندما ندعو للإقبال على الحياة بروح الانفتاح والعصرنة، ونُكفّر ونُفسّق ونتهم بكل قبيح.
مع ظهور القائد البطل محمد بن سلمان برؤيته الطموحة كان من المستحيل أن نظل رهناً لهذا «الاختطاف الأيديولوجي» المعيب في حق وطن بحجم الشمس، فكانت الرؤية التي فتحت الباب لشموس الغد لتعانق سماء وطننا الغالي، وتفكّ الأواصر والأغلال عنه وترسم له الطريق نحو استلهام المستقبل، والبحث عن «جودة الحياة»، رؤية نسفت مراكز إنتاج التزمّت والتنطّع والفكر المشوّه، بما خلّصنا من مثاقيل التهيّب، من الإقبال على الحياة، والتمتّع بها دون أن يخالطها خوف من رقيب غليظ، أو زجر ناعق لئيم، يمسك بخناق المجتمع ويقف في الطريق بينه وبين حياته الخاصة والعامة بصورة من صور الوصاية المقيتة، التي جرّدت المجتمع من فطرته السليمة، وجعلته حبيس رؤية أحادية لجماعة مريضة.
اليوم ونحن نعيش جودة الحياة تترى هذه التجارب الإنسانية وغيرها لتكتب السعودية يوماً بعد آخر سردية إنسانية سامقة، عنوانها هنا، الإنسان أولاً... وهنا، السعودية الدولة الكونية بالفعل، لا المجاز.
فما أعظم الرؤية، وما أعظم القائد البصير بشعبه، الواعي بمقاصده، المدرك لخصائصه، المستنهض لهممه العالية.
بُورك ولي عهدنا ورؤيته التي حققت المستحيل لوطن بحجم الكون كله.

I soared with the wings of pride, and I rose with the shades of pottery, and I was filled with a true, authentic sense of belonging to a great nation and a generous homeland, under its wise leadership. As I followed many expatriates expressing with charming spontaneity their rich experiences on this blessed land, embodying this experience in numerous sincere, spontaneous actions and deep, expressive words. The Ukrainian Dasha says: "I am in Saudi Arabia, the safest country in the world." This girl encapsulated the experience of thousands of residents and visitors who discovered, in the heart of Riyadh, another face of life that their previous memories had not known.
She posts daily clips on her Instagram page about its streets, cafes, residents, and social life, showing how expatriate life can be rich and filled with safe moments and beautiful experiences, in content that blends spontaneity and wonder.
Dasha leaves her home without locking the door, in a sincere and deeply significant scene of the concept of security and safety.
This is an unpretentious testimony to the security and stability that the homeland enjoys, which cannot be reduced to deterrent laws but is felt in the details of daily life, in neighborhoods, in eyes, and in spontaneous behaviors.
Another woman from Poland says, "I walk in the street in complete safety, and it is now three in the morning. Only in Saudi Arabia can girls walk alone outside after midnight without any fear."
She describes to her Instagram followers how an expatriate woman can find a safe and upscale place in the Saudi capital.
The American Heather says: "Saudi Arabia has given me the opportunity for safe work and a new life."
Many expatriate women agreed that they found stability and psychological balance, in addition to integration and blending into Saudi society and its cultural environment, with simplicity and comfort.
They add, "We are happy to be in the Kingdom; we have adapted to the traditions and culture of the society and the social development that the country is witnessing, thanks to a noble vision that brought us from the darkness of rigidity to the light of life and its quality."
What they said is neither an exception nor a surprise; it is the truth felt by every visitor or resident in Saudi Arabia.
A British friend says, "Here, people do not see you as a stranger but as a cherished guest who takes care of you, stands ready to serve you, ensures your safety, and fulfills your desires with unparalleled ease, speed, and attention."
All these feelings and more are not only reflected in words but also in situations and events; I have heard them in the conversations of more than one expatriate on the homeland's soil.
Despite the differing views of sociologists on the criteria for the development of nations and societies, the most stable ones are those that have managed to create a balance between their cultural heritage and the ongoing evolution of life, and its inevitable transformation. This is a test in which many societies fail when they make development a fierce adversary of their heritage and a severe threat to their civilization and values.
The Saudi society has been burned by the fires of this conflict in a thorny and complex manner, as the elements of the conflict intertwine between cultural heritage, customs, traditions, and religion, resisting for a long time all attempts to emerge from the cocoons of isolation and retreat, and to embrace life with all its necessary concessions, without compromising values, threatening principles, or belittling beliefs.
We were met with sharp tongues when we called for embracing life with a spirit of openness and modernization, and we were excommunicated, labeled as heretics, and accused of all that is ugly.
With the emergence of the heroic leader Mohammed bin Salman and his ambitious vision, it became impossible for us to remain captive to this "ideological abduction" that is a disgrace to a homeland as vast as the sun. The vision opened the door for the suns of tomorrow to embrace the sky of our beloved homeland, breaking the bonds and shackles from it and charting a path towards inspiring the future and seeking "quality of life," a vision that dismantled the centers of extremism, fanaticism, and distorted thought, freeing us from the burdens of hesitation, from embracing life, and enjoying it without the fear of a harsh overseer or the scolding of a malicious critic, who grips the community by the throat and stands in the way between it and its private and public life in a form of repugnant guardianship that stripped the community of its sound nature and made it a prisoner of a singular vision of a sick group.
Today, as we live the quality of life, these human experiences and others continue to write a lofty human narrative for Saudi Arabia, with the title here being "Humans First"... and here, Saudi Arabia is indeed a global state, not just in metaphor.
How great is the vision, and how great is the insightful leader who understands his people, aware of their goals, and cognizant of their characteristics, inspiring their high ambitions.
Blessed be our Crown Prince and his vision that has achieved the impossible for a homeland as vast as the entire universe.
