في اليوم الوطني الخامس والتسعين للمملكة هناك كم هائل من المنجزات الجميلة التي لا يمكن حصرها، لم تستطع دول بتأريخها الطويل وخبراتها القديمة أن تحقق نسبةً معقولة من عددها وتنوعها وجودتها. هذا الكلام ليس تحيّزاً عشوائياً أو عاطفةً وطنية إنشائية، وإنما واقع نعيشه ويشهد به العالم، القريب والبعيد، والمحب والكاره. عندما تكون لديك منجزات حقيقية فإنها هي التي تتحدث عن نفسها، وهي التي تثبت أن الوطن كان في ورشة عمل جبارة منذ تأسيسه، ولم يكن يُطعم الشعب شعارات وأحلام وأمنيات تتلاشى بعد رنين الخطب وإطفاء المايكروفونات.
أشياء كثيرة خلّدها التأريخ للمؤسس العظيم الملك عبدالعزيز، رحمه الله، وكانت سبباً في وصول الوطن إلى ما هو عليه الآن، من أهمها عبقريته في دمج النسيج الاجتماعي المختلف والمتباين والمتصارع أحياناً في كثير من أجزاء المملكة، وتحويله إلى نسيج متآلف متناغم متجانس متصالح، انخرط بكامله في مشروع الدولة الوطنية الحديثة. المساحة الشاسعة التي كانت تتناثر عليها مكونات عديدة منفصلة تتصارع من أجل البقاء تحولت إلى كيان واحد ذابت فيه الخلافات، وتلاشت بعد تكوينه التمايزات، لم يعد هناك سوى مواطن سعودي بكامل حقوقه في كل جزء من أجزاء الوطن. وحدة حقيقية وليست صورية، وصلت حد الانصهار في بوتقة واحدة من أجل بناء وطن حقيقي صلب قادر على حماية نفسه وإنجاز مشروعه الحضاري.
لم يكن ذلك بالأمر اليسير لولا دهاء الملك عبدالعزيز، وصدق نواياه وإخلاصه لمشروع الوطن. لقد أثبت بأفعاله لكل ذلك الشتات أنه يريد فعلاً بناء دولة حديثة تنقلهم إلى المستقبل، يتشارك فيها الجميع. أذاب كل الاحتقانات والترسبات المتراكمة، وأزال الحواجز النفسية، وتعالى فوق الثارات، وحول الخصوم إلى شركاء، وهذه أفعال لا يستطيعها سوى العظماء أمثال الملك عبدالعزيز، الذي يندر أن يكون له شبيه، والذي لم ينصفه التأريخ كما يجب رغم كل ما قيل وكُتب عنه إلى الآن.

On the ninety-fifth National Day of the Kingdom, there is an immense number of beautiful achievements that cannot be counted. No country, despite its long history and ancient experiences, has been able to achieve a reasonable percentage of their number, diversity, and quality. This statement is not a random bias or a mere nationalistic sentiment; it is a reality we live and that the world, both near and far, witnesses, whether they love or hate us. When you have real achievements, they speak for themselves, proving that the nation has been in a tremendous workshop since its establishment, and it has not fed the people slogans, dreams, and wishes that fade away after the ringing of speeches and the turning off of microphones.
Many things have been immortalized by history for the great founder King Abdulaziz, may God have mercy on him, which were the reason for the nation reaching what it is today. Among the most important of these is his genius in merging the diverse, conflicting, and sometimes clashing social fabric in many parts of the Kingdom into a harmonious, cohesive, and reconciled fabric that fully engaged in the project of the modern nation-state. The vast area that was scattered with many separate components competing for survival transformed into a single entity where differences melted away, and distinctions faded after its formation. There was no longer anything but a Saudi citizen with full rights in every part of the homeland. A true unity, not a superficial one, reached the point of merging into a single crucible to build a solid, real nation capable of protecting itself and accomplishing its civilizational project.
This was not an easy task without the cunning of King Abdulaziz, his sincere intentions, and his dedication to the nation's project. He proved through his actions to all that fragmentation that he truly wanted to build a modern state that would carry them into the future, where everyone would share. He dissolved all the accumulated tensions and residues, removed psychological barriers, rose above vendettas, and turned adversaries into partners. These are actions that only great figures like King Abdulaziz can achieve, who is rarely matched and who has not been fairly represented by history despite all that has been said and written about him until now.
