•• «أنتم ومن يتبعكم في وجهي»؛ جملة أهفو إليها لتنعم روحي.. جملة كلما تذكرتها أو قرأتها تغذي قلبي حباً لوطني، وتكسبني رصيداً أكبر من الإخلاص.. جملة تجعلني أتمنى الرجوع بالعمر لتُفتح ذاكرتي على وجهين حبيبين؛ المؤسس الملك عبدالعزيز وجدي الشريف شحاذ بن الحسين بن علي (أمير المدينة المنورة قبل التوحيد).. تلك جملة من رسالة (الملك) إلى (الشريف) نفخر بها نحن الأشراف.
•• حكاية وفاء يدونها التاريخ لرجلين فخمين.. حكاية تسليم المدينة للملك عبدالعزيز من قبل الشريف شحاذ، على أن يأمن أهلها على أرواحهم وأموالهم.. وفي رسالة المؤسس للشريف: «وأمان الله على دمائكم وجميع أموالكم، وعلى هذا عهد الله وميثاقه».. ثم اختتم الملك رسالته للشريف: «إن شاء الله ما تشوف إلا ما يسرك ونزيدك ما ننقصك».. كلمات عميقة أدخلت المدينة في العهد السعودي.
•• قررت أن أكتب عن هذه المرحلة لمن أراد أن ينهض بروحه بعينين مفتوحتين لتنمية وطنه.. مرحلة ممسوكة بانبعاث توحيد بلادنا بأدوات خاصة للمؤسس.. مرحلة رفيعة فاخرة في رحلة تأسيس دولة اختارت المستقبل.. مرحلة هي السر الأهم للسيطرة على المستقبل من أجل بناء أنفسنا وذواتنا.. مرحلة تشعرنا أن الحنين الطبيعي والإنساني للماضي؛ حياة متوثبة لحياة حاضرها يجعلنا نحوِّل الصحراء إلى اخضرار.
•• في الوطن السعودي الكبير؛ أرضٌ بألف حكاية وحكاية ممزوجة بطعم الولاء.. أرضٌ تحيي القلب؛ فما يرجوه إنسانها يدق بابه صباحاً.. أرضٌ ترسم لوحة بديعة موحدة الأرجاء في إنسانه وحضارته وتاريخه رغم تنوع ثقافاته ولهجاته.. أرضٌ ينشد بها الظهر مسجاة على الكرة الأرضية لا تشكو عطش تربة، ولا تحسن الانحناء.. فكيف يمكن لمرء أن يحيا دون أن يتنفس نضارة وطنٍ يزهر.

•• "You and those who follow you in my face"; a phrase I long for to nourish my soul.. A phrase that every time I remember or read it, it feeds my heart with love for my country, and earns me a greater credit of loyalty.. A phrase that makes me wish to turn back time to open my memory to two beloved faces; the founder King Abdulaziz and my grandfather Sharif Shuhad bin Hussein bin Ali (the Emir of Medina before unification).. That phrase is from a letter (the King) to (the Sharif) that we, the Sharifs, take pride in.
•• A tale of loyalty recorded by history for two magnificent men.. A tale of the handover of the city to King Abdulaziz by Sharif Shuhad, on the condition that its people are safe for their lives and their wealth.. In the founder's letter to the Sharif: "And the safety of God is upon your blood and all your wealth, and this is the covenant of God and His pact".. Then the King concluded his letter to the Sharif: "God willing, you will see nothing but what pleases you, and we will give you more than we take away from you".. Profound words that brought the city into the Saudi era.
•• I decided to write about this phase for those who wish to uplift their spirits with open eyes to develop their homeland.. A phase marked by the revival of the unification of our country with special tools for the founder.. A prestigious and luxurious phase in the journey of establishing a state that chose the future.. A phase that is the most important secret to controlling the future in order to build ourselves and our identities.. A phase that makes us feel that the natural and human longing for the past; is a vibrant life for a present that transforms the desert into greenery.
•• In the great Saudi homeland; a land with a thousand stories and tales mixed with the flavor of loyalty.. A land that revives the heart; for whatever its people hope for knocks on their door in the morning.. A land that paints a magnificent unified picture in its people, civilization, and history despite the diversity of its cultures and dialects.. A land that the back is laid upon on the globe, not complaining of thirsty soil, nor does it know how to bend.. So how can one live without breathing the freshness of a homeland that blossoms?
