كشفت الباحثة في الأدب والتاريخ الدكتورة غدير الثبيتي لـ«عكاظ»، أن المرأة السعودية لم تكن يوما غائبة عن المشهد الاجتماعي، بل كانت دائما الركن الأهم في الأسرة والمجتمع، والراوية الأمينة للقيم والتاريخ، وفي ظل رؤية 2030، تحوّل تمكين المرأة من شعار إلى واقع ملموس نراه في جميع القطاعات بما لا يُقصي أصالتها، بل يُعيد تقديمها للعالم. وعلى سبيل المثال غالية البقمية، وهي من أولئك اللاتي جسّدن هذه القيم على أرض الواقع، في مواقف بطولية خالدة، لتصبح المرأة التي كسرت كل الصور النمطية، وأثبتت أن الأصالة لا تُورّث فقط، بل تُجسّد في الفعل والقرار والموقف. وعنها قالت: هي غالية بنت عبدالرحمن بن سلطان البقمي، عاشت في أوائل القرن الثالث عشر الهجري وبرزت في فترة حرجة من تاريخ الدولة السعودية الأولى، تحديدا خلال الحملة العثمانية على نجد، واصفة إياها بأنها لم تكن مجرد امرأة من بيت كرام، بل كانت قائدة، ملهمة، وصاحبة تأثير مباشر على مجريات الحرب والسياسة.
وأضافت الدكتورة الثبيتي، أنه في عام 1226هـ، وعندما اقتربت الحملة العثمانية من منطقة تربة، وقفت غالية تُحرّض وتُنظّم وتُشرف على وضع الخطط، توزيع المؤن، وتحفيز المقاتلين، في واحد من أندر المشاهد في تاريخ الحروب أن تقف امرأة بدوية في وجه جيش نظامي مدجج، حتى أن الجنود العثمانيين ظنّوا أنها ساحرة من فرط الدهشة بقدرتها على صدّهم، فاستحقت لقب «المرأة الحديدية»، بينما كانت هي ببساطة امرأة مؤمنة بعدالة قضيتها، وواعية بمسؤوليتها تجاه أرضها وقومها. واستشهدت بما جاء في هذا الباب للشاعر فهد عافت:
غالية وإن عدّوا الفريس
عدّوا فوق مية
فعلها ما له مثيل
وزينها زين بقمية
وفي ملمح الجود السعودي، تحضر آلاف القصص العظيمة التي تعكس الخُلق المتجذّر الذي لا تغيّره الأزمنة، وقد عُرف السعودي بكرمه اللامحدود. ففي البادية، لم يكن الغريب يحتاج إلى استئذان؛ يكفي أن يرى نارا مشتعلة في طرف الوادي ليعرف أن صاحب البيت يدعوه. فكانت القهوة تُصب قبل السؤال، والتمر يُمد قبل أي حديث. وقد ظل هذا الخُلق حيا، يتطوّر مع الزمن، وبعد أن تحولت الصحراء إلى مدن تضج بالحياة، لم يتغيّر المبدأ، فما زال الضيف يلقى الترحيب نفسه، وفنجان القهوة ما زال حاضرا، يقدَّم بالطريقة ذاتها التي ورثناها عن الأجداد. بل إن هذه العادة الأصيلة أصبحت رمزا عالميا للهوية السعودية، تُقدَّم في المعارض الدولية، وتُدرّس كجزء من الثقافة المحلية، ولم تفقد الضيافة السعودية، بل صارت جسرا للتواصل بين الماضي والحاضر، وبين الداخل والعالم.
وقالت الدكتورة غدير الثبيتي: حين نتحدث عن الجود والكرم، يصعب تجاوز شخصية - على سبيل المثال وليس الحصر - مثل حجرف بن عياد الذويبي الذي عاش في القرن الثالث عشر الهجري، وأصبح اسمه علامة مضيئة في التراث الشعبي، ورمزا للكرم، الشجاعة، والتوكّل على الله، مجسّدا ما نعتز به اليوم من قيم، ومثلا يُحتذى به في بناء مجتمع قوي ومتماسك، إذ لم يقتصر كرم حجرف على المال أو الطعام، بل شمل التضحية بالنفس والمال والراحة. وقالت الباحثة التاريخية: تُروى عن حجرف قصص أنه كان يذبح كل ما يملك من الأغنام أو يُضحي بمطاياه لخدمة ضيوفه أو لمساعدة المحتاج. وهذه القيم الممتدة نجد صداها اليوم في المجتمع عبر الضيافة، والتكافل، والمبادرات التطوعية، التي أصبحت جزءا أساسيا من رؤية 2030، إذ يُترجم التكافل الاجتماعي إلى فعل ملموس يدعم المجتمع ويعزز اللحمة الوطنية.
حجرف الذويبي درس حي في الكرم والشجاعة والأصالة، يُستلهم في كل عمل نبيل وفي كل مبادرة وطنية. ولا يظهر العطاء فقط كمظهر خارجي، بل كقيمة متجذّرة في النفس، تصنع مجتمعا يقدّر الكرامة والضيافة. ويقول الذويبي في ذلك:
يقول ابن عياد وإن بات ليلة
رزقي على ربي وأنا في فضايله
وقال الذويبي والذويبي حجرف
مثايل من لبة القلب قايله
ماني بمثبور إلى قل كيله
ضيق بأهل بيته وضاقت محايله
يرزقني رزّاق الحيايا بجحرها
لا خايلت برق ولا هي بحايله
أرزاق غيري يا ملا ما تجيني
ورزقي يجي لو كل حي يحايله
ولاني على رزقي بخيل إلى لفوا
جوعى هجافا معتلين رحايله
ونشب نار تجذب الضيف ضوها
وإلى كبت زدنا حطبها شعايله
الضيف له حق علينا إلى لفى
صعلوك ولا من نوادي حمايله
جميع ما حشنا ندور به الثناء
وما راح منا عاضنا الله بدايله
واختتمت الثبيتي حديثها لـ«عكاظ»، أن المجتمعات الأصيلة هي الحاضنة الحقيقية للنهوض، إذ تستند إلى إرث قيمي متين يُثري الحاضر، ويمنح المستقبل عمقه ومعناه. والمجتمع السعودي، منذ نشأة الدولة وحتى اليوم، يحمل في نسيجه الاجتماعي منظومة متكاملة من القيم التي تُعبّر عن الأصالة المجتمعية، وتشكل ركيزة من ركائز رؤية السعودية 2030.
وشكّل الموروث الشعبي السعودي عبر تاريخه ركيزة أساسية في تكوين الهوية الوطنية، فهو ليس مجرد فنون شعبية أو أزياء أو حكايات متوارثة، بل هو منظومة متكاملة من القيم والعادات التي تعكس أصالة المجتمع وتماسكه. من العرضة السعودية التي تعبّر عن روح الوحدة والقوة، إلى الشعر النبطي الذي شكّل ذاكرة وجدانية للأجيال، ومن الفنون والحرف التقليدية إلى مجالس الضيافة العربية التي تحتفي بالكرم والضيف.
واليوم، ومع رؤية المملكة 2030، نجد أن هذه الأصالة لم تُترك خلف الركب، بل جرى استحضارها وتوظيفها لتكون رافدا للتنمية ومصدرا للإلهام. فقد أُطلقت مشاريع كبرى للاهتمام بالتراث المادي وغير المادي، مثل تسجيل عناصر من الفلكلور السعودي في قوائم التراث العالمي، وإحياء الأسواق التاريخية، وتطوير المهرجانات الوطنية، فضلا عن دعم الصناعات الحرفية واليدوية لتصبح موردا اقتصاديا يعزز مكانة المملكة عالميا.

The researcher in literature and history, Dr. Ghadeer Al-Thubaiti, revealed to "Okaz" that Saudi women have never been absent from the social scene; rather, they have always been the most important pillar in the family and society, and the faithful narrators of values and history. In light of Vision 2030, the empowerment of women has transformed from a slogan into a tangible reality that we see across all sectors without undermining their authenticity, but rather reintroducing it to the world. For example, Ghaliah Al-Buqami is one of those who embodied these values in reality, in immortal heroic stances, becoming the woman who broke all stereotypes and proved that authenticity is not only inherited but also embodied in action, decision, and stance. About her, she said: She is Ghaliah bint Abdulrahman bin Sultan Al-Buqami, who lived in the early 13th century Hijri and emerged during a critical period in the history of the First Saudi State, specifically during the Ottoman campaign on Najd, describing her as not just a woman from a noble house, but a leader, an inspiration, and a direct influencer on the course of war and politics.
Dr. Al-Thubaiti added that in the year 1226 AH, as the Ottoman campaign approached the Turbah area, Ghaliah stood to incite, organize, and supervise the planning, distribution of supplies, and motivate the fighters, in one of the rare scenes in the history of wars where a Bedouin woman stands against a heavily armed regular army, to the extent that the Ottoman soldiers thought she was a witch due to their astonishment at her ability to repel them. Thus, she earned the title "The Iron Woman," while she was simply a woman who believed in the justice of her cause and was aware of her responsibility towards her land and people. She cited what the poet Fahd Aafat said in this regard:
Ghaliah, even if they count the horsemen
Count above a hundred
Her actions have no equal
And her beauty is the beauty of Al-Buqami
In the aspect of Saudi generosity, thousands of great stories reflect the deep-rooted character that time does not change, as Saudis are known for their boundless generosity. In the desert, a stranger did not need to ask for permission; it was enough to see a fire burning at the edge of the valley to know that the owner of the house was inviting him. Coffee was served before any questions, and dates were offered before any conversation. This character has remained alive, evolving over time, and after the desert transformed into bustling cities, the principle has not changed; the guest still receives the same welcome, and a cup of coffee is still presented in the same manner we inherited from our ancestors. In fact, this authentic custom has become a global symbol of Saudi identity, presented at international exhibitions and taught as part of local culture. Saudi hospitality has not diminished but has become a bridge connecting the past with the present, and the interior with the world.
Dr. Ghadeer Al-Thubaiti said: When we talk about generosity and hospitality, it is hard to overlook a figure—just as an example—like Hajruf bin Iyad Al-Dhuwaibi, who lived in the 13th century Hijri and whose name has become a shining symbol in popular heritage, representing generosity, courage, and reliance on God, embodying the values we cherish today and serving as a role model in building a strong and cohesive community. Hajruf's generosity was not limited to money or food; it included self-sacrifice, wealth, and comfort. The historical researcher recounted stories about Hajruf that he would slaughter all his sheep or sacrifice his mounts to serve his guests or help those in need. These enduring values resonate today in society through hospitality, mutual support, and voluntary initiatives, which have become an essential part of Vision 2030, as social solidarity translates into tangible actions that support the community and enhance national unity.
Hajruf Al-Dhuwaibi is a living lesson in generosity, courage, and authenticity, inspiring every noble deed and every national initiative. Generosity does not only manifest as an external appearance but as a deeply rooted value in the soul, creating a community that values dignity and hospitality. Al-Dhuwaibi expresses this in his words:
Ibn Iyad says, even if he spends a night
My provision is with my Lord, and I am in His grace
And Al-Dhuwaibi, Al-Dhuwaibi Hajruf
A saying from the depths of the heart
I am not in need until I say it
Tight with his family, and his means are limited
He provides me with the Sustainer of the living through their burrows
Neither a horse nor is it a means
The provisions of others, O my dear, do not come to me
And my provision comes even if every living being tries to evade it
And I am not stingy with my provision until they gather
Hungry, weak, and burdened with their burdens
And I kindle a fire that attracts the guest with its light
And if we are in need, we add firewood to its flames
The guest has a right upon us until he arrives
Whether he is a beggar or from the gatherings of his tribe
All that we have gathered, we seek praise with it
And what has gone from us, God has replaced it with its alternatives
Dr. Al-Thubaiti concluded her discussion with "Okaz," stating that authentic communities are the true incubators for advancement, as they rely on a solid value heritage that enriches the present and gives depth and meaning to the future. The Saudi community, from the establishment of the state until today, carries within its social fabric a comprehensive system of values that express societal authenticity and form a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Saudi popular heritage has historically formed a fundamental pillar in the formation of national identity; it is not merely folk arts, clothing, or inherited tales, but a comprehensive system of values and customs that reflect the authenticity and cohesion of society. From the Saudi Ardha that expresses the spirit of unity and strength, to Nabati poetry that has formed an emotional memory for generations, and from traditional arts and crafts to the Arab hospitality councils that celebrate generosity and the guest.
Today, with the Kingdom's Vision 2030, we find that this authenticity has not been left behind; rather, it has been revived and employed to become a source of development and inspiration. Major projects have been launched to care for both tangible and intangible heritage, such as registering elements of Saudi folklore in the World Heritage lists, reviving historical markets, and developing national festivals, in addition to supporting handicrafts and manual industries to become an economic resource that enhances the Kingdom's global standing.
