يُطلقُ على العرب والمسلمين أنهم «أُمةُ اقرأ» بحكم أنّ أوّل ما نزل من آيات الذِّكر الحكيم «اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَق»، فيما جاءت سورة القلم لتؤكد أن الكتابة رديفٌ للقراءة، وأدبيات جميع الأديان والثقافات تعتمد القراءة باعتبارها واجباً من الواجبات اليومية لكل فرد، إذ هي مفتاح الوعي والتفكير الإبداعي، والتفاعل مع حيوات خطّها العباقرة من مفكرين، وأدباء، ومبدعين.
ليست الرياض التي تقرأ؛ بل غدت مقصداً لقُرّاء من داخل المملكة وخارجها؛ باستضافتها بين أحضانها مهرجان خير جليس، لتؤنس وحشة الأرواح، وتغذّي نقص معرفة القدرات، وتبني الشخصية، وترتقي بآدمية وإنسانية وإيجابية الإنسان، الذي هو محور التنمية وغايتها، ومن يعزز ثقافته يسهم بنجاح في خدمة وبناء الوطن.
ولعل الغاية الكبرى من التثقيف والوعي الارتقاء بالسلوكيات، وإعطاء النظام حقه من التقدير، ووقاية الفكر والمشاعر من الخطابات المُنحرفة والمُضلِّلة، والاعتزاز بالانتماء لهذا الكيان السعودي الآمن، الذي يرعى الثقافة، ويحتضن المواهب، ويرفع كفاءة المجتمع، بتوفير بيئة مثاقفة وحوارات وورش عمل ترسّخ في النفوس معنى أن تكون كبيراً في وطن كبير (وإذا كانت النفوس كباراً.. تعبت في مرادها الأجسام).
القراءة مفتاح الوعي

The Arabs and Muslims are referred to as the "Ummah of Iqra" because the first verses of the Holy Quran revealed were "Read in the name of your Lord who created." The Surah Al-Qalam further emphasizes that writing is a companion to reading, and the literature of all religions and cultures relies on reading as a daily obligation for every individual, as it is the key to awareness, creative thinking, and interaction with the lives crafted by geniuses—thinkers, writers, and creators.
It is not Riyadh that reads; rather, it has become a destination for readers from within the Kingdom and beyond, hosting the "Khayr Jalees" festival within its embrace to ease the loneliness of souls, nourish the lack of knowledge of capabilities, build character, and elevate the humanity, positivity, and essence of the individual, who is the focus and goal of development. Those who enhance their culture contribute successfully to the service and construction of the nation.
Perhaps the ultimate goal of education and awareness is to elevate behaviors, give the system its due appreciation, protect thoughts and feelings from distorted and misleading discourses, and instill pride in belonging to this secure Saudi entity, which nurtures culture, embraces talents, and enhances the community's efficiency by providing a cultured environment, dialogues, and workshops that instill in souls the meaning of being great in a great homeland (and if souls are great, bodies tire in their pursuit).
