The university, represented by the College of Arabic Language and Social Studies, concluded a series of online lectures on the occasion of the 90th Saudi National Day, over 3 days, from 11-13/2/1442 AH, with the participation of a number of university faculty members.
The lectures covered a number of social and national topics. The first lecture, titled "Humanitarian Social Work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," was delivered by Professor Dr. Ahmed Al-Ajlan, Head of the Department of Sociology and Social Services. He highlighted the importance of pride in the National Day for all peoples, noting that we celebrate the National Day for the unification of the nation by the founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud (may God have mercy on him), and his unique leadership charisma. He then discussed social welfare policies and social services that have contributed to raising the standard of living for citizens.
The lecture addressed the Kingdom's five-year development plans and their role in solving social problems. It concluded with the outcomes of sustainable development in all regions of the Kingdom, the significant support provided to different segments of society, and the significant support provided to different segments of society. The lecture also highlighted the significant role played by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, which has undertaken more than 1,700 projects, and the Kingdom's Vision 2030 in the field of social entrepreneurship through initiatives in care and social development programs.
A lecture titled "Vision 2030: A Roadmap Towards Comprehensive Future National Population Development," was delivered by Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Bassam, Associate Professor of Population Geography in the Geography Department. He stated that the 90th National Day of Saudi Arabia is a great day, a glorious and cherished immortal memory. As citizens, we take pride in our country's ancient past and its heroic deeds, and we are proud of its present, its achievements, and its renaissance. We look forward to a promising and bright future. He noted that we recall a dear occasion that carries within it the dimensions of the future and the ancient past, which established security, stability, and spread development of all kinds, especially population development for a future vision that aligns with Vision 2030, looking forward, God willing, to bringing about a change in the demographic landscape, such as life expectancy at birth, women's participation in the labor force, and reducing unemployment rates.
Social lectures continued, with several lectures being held. These included a lecture titled "Models of Genius Opinion in the Biography of King Abdulaziz," presented by Dr. Sulaiman Al-Awtani, Vice Dean of the College of Arabic Language, today, Tuesday. He discussed selected examples of the genius of opinion in the biography of King Abdulaziz, highlighting that political opinion and genius were characteristics of the founder, and that these had a significant impact on building this dear nation. He also noted that wisdom accompanied courage throughout his journey. Among the most important examples he mentioned was what happened in the Yibreen Oasis, when King Abdulaziz honestly told his followers that Mubarak Al-Sabah and the mother of Imam Abdul Rahman had sent for him to return, thus releasing them from any obligation. This act of brilliant insight and determination led everyone to pledge to continue the march.
He added that knowing capabilities and strength is one of the most important genius traits that characterized King Abdulaziz's management of conflict. He was keen to choose the appropriate place and time for battle, thereby depriving his enemy of the most important advantage that could support him in battle. This includes the Battle of Al-Dilam, in which King Abdulaziz succeeded in fortifying Riyadh, and then reorganizing his forces anew until he succeeded in luring his enemy and defeating him in their first military confrontation in 1320 AH. He was also distinguished by his knowledge of influential men and the true role they could play. Therefore, he sought to distance Sharif Abdullah Abu Yabes from Sharif Hussein and succeeded in that. When he succeeded in annexing the Hijaz, he made Sharif Abdullah Abu Yabes one of his trusted men working with him. His cultivation of men continued as a methodology and method for him, including his keenness to have sons of the country manage the oil file and its affairs, and his eagerness to send them abroad for education and then empower them to work upon their return with the weapon of science and knowledge. Thus, the first president of Aramco and the Minister of Oil, Abdullah Al-Tariki, emerged. This reduced the control of oil companies and limited their role through political acumen and shrewdness. Al-Aatani mentioned that the founder's biography contains many examples that show the extent of political shrewdness that enabled him to achieve the impossible, attain goals, win many battles even before they began, and succeed in depriving the enemy of their most important capabilities before the military confrontation.
At the conclusion of the program, Professor Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Tami, a faculty member at the college, delivered a lecture titled "The Service of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the Arabic Language and Its Care." He spoke about the role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in serving and caring for the Arabic language, explaining that the Arabian Peninsula is the homeland of the Arabic language, and it is the official language of the country in education, official dealings, and treaty signing. The Kingdom has established institutes, schools, and university departments that serve this purpose. Among the aspects of attention the Kingdom has given to the Arabic language is the establishment of the King Abdullah International Center for Arabic Language Care.
Al-Tami stated that the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Arabic Language Services strives to provide high-quality linguistic services to individuals and institutions working in the field of serving the Arabic language. It identifies linguistic needs through direct communication, forums, visits, or feedback it receives. Perhaps among the most prominent important areas of service in the field of the Arabic language are building databases and providing information about its movement. The Kingdom also recently established the King Salman International Center for the Arabic Language.
Al-Tami confirmed during the lecture that the council will be global in serving the Arabic language and supporting its modern linguistic applications, which confirms the pioneering role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in serving the language of the Holy Quran. The council will work to enhance the Arab cultural identity, and its activities include supporting Arabic language applications, products, and research in the Kingdom and the Arab and Islamic worlds.
