التعدي على الحقوق العامة والخاصة بدون وجه حق جريمة تعاقب عليها القوانين والشرائع السماوية في كل دول العالم، هناك فساد وثقافة له منتشرة ويبررها البعض باعتقادات خاطئة لها علاقة بالثقافة المحلية والدينية في بعض المجتمعات، في وطننا ومع بداية الحملة على الفساد بكافة أشكاله والتي لا تزال مستمرة وأصبحت هناك تشريعات وقوانين صارمة ضد الفاسدين مهما كانت مكانتهم الاجتماعية والسياسية فلا حصانة للفاسدين، وأنشئت مؤسسات رسمية وأعطيت صلاحيات كبيرة لضرب هذا الداء المهدِّد للتنمية في كل الدول، خاصة إذا لم تكن هناك سياسات صارمة على الجميع، وأن تكون هذه المحاربة مستمرة وواضحة في عملها من حيث الشفافية في الإعلان عن أسماء الفاسدين ومراكزهم بعد ثبوت إدانتهم وصدور أحكام قضائية نهائية عليهم، ونجد هيئة مكافحة الفساد «نزاهة» تعمل بحزم وقوة في التصدي لهذه الممارسات في كل أجهزة الدولة وفي القطاع الخاص، خاصة إذا كانت هذه المخالفات تخص المال العام، ولا يوجد حصانة لكائن من كان في هذا المجال، وقبل شهر أعلنت «نزاهة» عن مجموعة قضايا لبعض الأشخاص المتورطين في قضايا فساد وكان أحدهم يعمل في «نزاهة» ذاتها، وهذا يعطيني دلالة واضحة على جدية محاربة الفساد في وطننا يقودها سمو ولي العهد الأمير محمد بن سلمان؛ الذي يقود هذه العملية بشكل صارم وله تصريحات مشهودة في هذا السياق.
الغريب أن البعض لا يزال يرتكب مثل هذه المخالفات التي تدخل في باب الفساد، وقد يستغل البعض منهم الدين وأموره والعاطفة الجياشة من البعض ويستغلها في أمور لا يمكن إلا أن يقال عليها فساد واضح، ولم نعد نسمع التبرير لهؤلاء الفاسدين الذين يسرقون الكهرباء من بعض المساجد ويستخدمونها في مصالحهم الخاصة، سواء في سرقة الكهرباء بكيابل ممدودة ومخبأة تحت الأرض إلى مزارع أو مصانع أو بيوت أو استراحات، وقد تكون هذه السرقة من مساجد يفترض أنها دور عبادة وصلاح ونشر مبادئ إسلامية تحض على الأمانة والصدق والتحلي بالأخلاق الفاضلة، إلا أن هذه الاعتبارات الدينية لم تردع هؤلاء المفسدين، وفي هذا السياق تُشكر وزارة الشؤون الإسلامية على الشفافية في الإعلان عن هذه الممارسات في بعض المساجد؛ التي تمثلت بسرقة الطاقة الكهربائية منها في استخدامها لمصالح شخصية بدون وجه حق، وأتمنى أن يُعلن عن أسماء المتورطين في مثل هذه الممارسات حتى يكون عبرة للجميع وحماية بيوت الله من هذه الحوادث والممارسات الخاطئة.
سرقات الكهرباء من بيوت الله التي أُعلن عنها مؤخراً من قبل وزارة الشؤون الإسلامية تمثلت في ثلاث حالات، إحداها بصبياء في منطقة جازان تمثلت بمد كيبل كهربائي تحت الأرض لمنزل مجاور واستخدام كامل للطاقة المسروقة في ذلك المنزل، الحالة الأخرى في منطقة القويعية حيث استخدمت كهرباء المسجد في سوبرماركت للمواد الغذائية أغلب الثلاجات والأجهزة فيه من كهرباء مسروقة من مسجد فقط، صاحب ذلك المحل أبقى اللوحات الإعلانية لمحله على فاتورة محله والذي صرفها يعتبر منخفضاً جداً، الحالة الثالثة لسرقة الكهرباء من المساجد في منطقة تبوك حيث استخدمت الكهرباء المسروقة في مستودع لأجهزة متعددة وسكن عمال وغطاس ماء لمزرعة ومضافة.
مثل هذه الحالات لها أكثر من بُعد وخاصة البُعدين القيمي والأخلاقي؛ لما تمثله من قيمة أخلاقية في شعور الإنسان المسلم تجاه دور العبادة، وكلنا نعرف ونتابع الجهود العظيمة التي تقوم بها الدولة في رعاية المساجد وحمايتها لما لها من قدسية عظيمة، والمسألة باعتقادي أبعد من فاتورة فالقضية لها أبعاد روحية ودينية.
لا بد أن يكون للأشخاص الذين يعملون في المساجد دور في حماية المساجد التي يعملون فيها من هذه الممارسات، وإن كان هناك تورط منهم أن يحاسبوا على ذلك.

The violation of public and private rights without just cause is a crime punishable by laws and divine statutes in all countries around the world. There is corruption and a culture of it that is widespread, justified by some through misconceptions related to local and religious culture in certain communities. In our homeland, with the beginning of the campaign against corruption in all its forms, which is still ongoing, strict legislations and laws have been established against the corrupt, regardless of their social and political status; there is no immunity for the corrupt. Official institutions have been created and given significant powers to combat this disease that threatens development in all countries, especially if there are no strict policies applicable to everyone. This fight must be continuous and clear in its operations regarding transparency in announcing the names of the corrupt and their positions after their guilt has been proven and final judicial rulings have been issued against them. We find the Anti-Corruption Authority "Nazaha" working decisively and vigorously to confront these practices across all state agencies and in the private sector, especially when these violations concern public funds, and there is no immunity for anyone in this field. A month ago, "Nazaha" announced a group of cases involving individuals implicated in corruption, one of whom worked in "Nazaha" itself. This gives me a clear indication of the seriousness of the fight against corruption in our country, led by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is conducting this process rigorously and has notable statements in this context.
Strangely, some still commit such violations that fall under the category of corruption. Some of them may exploit religion and emotional sentiments from others, using them for matters that can only be described as clear corruption. We no longer hear justifications for these corrupt individuals who steal electricity from some mosques and use it for their personal interests, whether by stealing electricity through cables stretched and hidden underground to farms, factories, homes, or rest houses. This theft may involve mosques that are supposed to be places of worship, righteousness, and the dissemination of Islamic principles that promote honesty, truthfulness, and good morals. However, these religious considerations have not deterred these corrupt individuals. In this context, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs deserves appreciation for its transparency in announcing these practices in some mosques, which involved the theft of electrical energy for personal interests without just cause. I hope that the names of those involved in such practices will be announced so that it serves as a lesson for everyone and protects the houses of God from these incidents and wrongful practices.
The electricity thefts from the houses of God recently announced by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs involved three cases. One was in Sabya in the Jazan region, where an underground electrical cable was laid to a neighboring house, and the stolen energy was fully used in that house. The other case was in Al-Qunfudhah, where the electricity from the mosque was used in a supermarket for food items, with most of the refrigerators and devices in it powered by electricity stolen from just one mosque. The owner of that shop kept the advertising boards for his shop on a bill that he considered very low. The third case of electricity theft from mosques was in the Tabuk region, where the stolen electricity was used in a warehouse for various devices, workers' housing, and a water pump for a farm and a guesthouse.
Such cases have multiple dimensions, especially the ethical and moral dimensions, as they represent an ethical value in a Muslim's feelings towards places of worship. We all know and follow the tremendous efforts made by the state in caring for and protecting mosques due to their great sanctity. In my opinion, the issue goes beyond just a bill; it has spiritual and religious dimensions.
There must be a role for the individuals working in the mosques to protect the mosques they work in from these practices, and if there is any involvement from them, they should be held accountable for that.
