Current Perspectives from the Saudi Press

Here are the titles of the columns found in the newspaper, along with their first two paragraphs of detail, as requested:

• كلـمة The establishment of the Kingdom is a great unitarian project, a significant event in modern history that deserves contemplation and study. It is one of the profound and worthy readings of the transformations in the nine political and historical transformations from its position among the nations that wrote its narrative and the story of its pioneering in its surroundings, but it went beyond this surrounding to become of vital and pivotal role, not content with mere participation in action and economy, but rather has become an industry of peace, love, dialogue, and harmony. From here, it is unjust to reduce the Kingdom to familiar roles and a natural presence that does not reflect its depth, influence, and impact. The Kingdom, since its unification by the genius hand of the great King Abdulaziz — may God bless his soul — works on combining authenticity and openness, and on promoting the values of coexistence and human dialogue, a path firmly established by the unitarian founder who launched his project from an existential concern and a deep conviction that there is no way to a safe, dignified life for humanity without creative, effective dialogue that embraces the other, extends a helping hand, and cooperates with them in promoting values of coexistence and all goodness for humanity.
• جسرنا الحضاري Today, the center reactivates this legacy, but in the language of work: dialogue, communication, integration, and openness to the other without compromising one’s identity. It does not merely present cultural showcases but strives to be a space for exchange and mutual influence, through workshops, meetings, where the Kingdom conveys its messages of art, thought, and humanity, and welcomes other cultures with a deeper understanding. This presence of the center was not a mere coincidence or an arbitrary choice; rather, it is values that the center carried from the name of its founder, this great unifier of this entity, who unified the scattered parts and opened up nations, and built a being based on combining authenticity and openness.
• الصورة الذهنية للمملكة The power of nations is no longer measured solely by military or economic factors; soft power has become a crucial element in building a compelling image before global public opinion. This is where the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stand out, as they work to build an attractive mental image through the integrated roles and continuous achievements of the public, private, and non-profit sectors. The image is not complete without highlighting the humanitarian dimension embodied by the Kingdom’s institutions and charitable initiatives, which reflect noble Saudi values and pioneering sustainable giving in humanitarian fields, such as the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, and the King Faisal Foundation, among others. This reinforces the Kingdom’s position as a global humanitarian center in the fields of education, health, environmental protection, and humanitarian aid.
• فوضوية خدمات التوصيل والحلول According to ChatGPT sources, the size of food delivery activity in Saudi Arabia during the period (2024–2025) ranges between 9 to 10 billion dollars, with expectations to rise to between 13 and 16 billion dollars annually by 2030.

In light of the widespread adoption of home delivery services and the accelerating growth in demand for them, this service witnessed a state of regulatory chaos in its early stages, coinciding with the enormous and unprecedented growth in the number of orders, which reached about 290 million orders in one year across different regions of the Kingdom. This rapid figure reflected the large expansion in the services market, and the increasing demand for faster and more flexible delivery solutions, driven by an increase in the number of licensed applications and companies, which reached 61 companies.
• النظام الدائري.. يغوص في دهاليز النفس The book “The Circular System – A Journey Towards the True Self” relies on an innovative concept called “The Circular System” by the Syrian writer and doctor residing in Nemosa, in a unique attempt to understand the visual self, emotions, and reactions within closed loops that unconsciously reproduce our behavioral patterns. The author approaches this concept from a deep personal experience, as the recently published book by Dar Al-Khayal exposes his repeated exposure to professional burnout, which led him to self-questioning and a search for an internal explanation for human transformations.
• تأثير الذكاء الاصطناعي في تطوير القصة القصيرة Short stories in Arab literature have witnessed many creative developments, with modern technology significantly contributing to improving writing styles and presenting new perspectives on building literary texts. Among these developments, the role of artificial intelligence emerges, which has begun to notably influence the short story industry. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for interaction; it has become a creative partner capable of presenting ideas and generating texts that contribute to expanding the horizon of literary writing.
• طلقة مصابة بالزهايمر Recently, the Saudi poet Al-Tariqi released a book titled “A Bullet with Alzheimer’s” from Rasm Publishing and Distribution House. In the book, texts explode silently, as if the bullet forgot its way, and though it doesn’t open, it leaves no trace in you… Al-Tariqi writes as if he gathers the shattered fragments of the soul scattered between memory and oblivion, and the body that desires, and the soul that contemplates its destiny. A language laden with burning questions, and profound images that blend the story of reality with the abstraction of poetry.
• في كراهية النساء Recently, a book by the Lebanese researcher and writer was published titled “In Misogyny: A Story and Its Sisters” from Al-A’idoun Publishing House – Jordan. The book spans 80 small-sized pages and includes an introduction and four chapters, a conclusion, in which the researcher focuses on the stories of women and the family. Especially when the oppressed woman herself is subject to oppression from her mother, since childhood, and from society. In the last cover note, it states clearly the main goal of this research, which is to shed light on the psychological and mental effects of contempt, rejection, and hatred towards women.
• ريف في الخريف Recently, the poetess Amal Ghazal published her first children’s literature story titled “Reef in Autumn” through Dar Al-Shorouk for Publishing and Distribution in Amman. The story, written in eloquent Arabic, is suitable for the early educational stage, from kindergarten to primary school. The story features wonderful colors and drawings by artist Nisal Al-Bazm, designed to match the text and provide the child with enjoyable and passionate reading and education about their surroundings, nature, and environment. It also addresses many aspects of the child’s inner world and psychological aspects, whether social, sensory, or emotional.
• عتمة النور Recently, a book by the Egyptian writer Farouk Ahmed was published, titled “The Darkness of Light,” by Ain Hurus for Printing, Publishing, and Distribution. In an overview of the work, Ali wrote that within the darkness of light inside every human being, there is an unseen force, untouched by footsteps. It is a hidden stage on which the eternal struggle between good and evil, virtue and vice, purity and worldliness, is played out—a struggle that cannot be decided in a single round, nor a battle after which an eternal victory or final defeat is declared. Instead, it is an unending ebb and flow.
• التمثالت الكرونولوجية في مدارات النصوص البصرية Dr. Hassan Sobhi Hassan reviews through an article the essence of visual content, which illuminates chronology or the term “Chronology” derived from Greek “Chronos” – meaning time – and “Logos” – meaning science or methodology – for the science of assigning dates and arranging the sequence of events. This is a study that aims to partition time into intervals and precisely date events, and the chronological ordering of events according to their historical sequence and visual rhythm. While history came to be concerned with understanding and analyzing events and their impact on human and societal development, and analyzing the course of events that occurred in the past through understanding their context, causes, and complex interactions of events and changes that occurred.
• في انتظار الإلهام Inspiration, the moment you write or don’t write, paint or don’t paint, you wait for a moment you don’t know where it comes from or why, but it has surprised you many times before, and you produced wonderful stories, you wake up with words on your lips, maybe you dreamed them, or someone put them on your lips, you don’t know, but you are a prisoner of those moments. I was sitting with a visual artist who complained to me about his inability to paint. His friend supported him, saying that he waited for the moment, that the artist waited intensely, and I strongly objected. This is how I lost a potential friend, but I might consider it a superstition, as for me, saving my friend from surrender, which destroys the artist, is more important than the indifference I usually practice.
• لوكيات االعتدال في السُّلوكيات God Almighty made this nation a chosen and moderate nation, not extreme or lax in its choice, and made its book dominant over other scriptures, and its law a seal for all laws, and ordained for it among rituals and behaviors the most moderate and temperate. It is a nation of moderation and temperance, and whoever deviates from the circle of moderation – whether by excess or neglect – contradicts its tolerant teachings. To establish its moderation, the Sharia texts confirmed this by quoting comprehensive general rules such as God Almighty’s saying: “And He has not placed upon you in religion any difficulty,” and His saying: “Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity.” Among these are descriptions of this religion as lenient, as in the Prophet’s saying, peace be upon him: “The most beloved religion to Allah is the Hanifiyyah, the lenient.”
• إنتاج الأعالف الموسمية تعزيز للأمن الغذائي It is impossible to speak of self-sufficiency or food security and animal wealth without rural agricultural development and without providing diverse, thriving, stable, and inexpensive sources of local feed of all kinds. It is not possible to rely entirely on imported feed for various reasons. The expansion of seasonal fodder production, focusing on types that have proven successful and taking into account the climatic diversity in different regions of the Kingdom, will enhance animal wealth by providing good local fodder available to beneficiaries, and protect this sector from the fluctuations of international fodder markets.
• السعودية تحصد ثمار رؤيتها الشاملة Since the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, the country has witnessed a qualitative transformation at various levels, driven by a strategic orientation from the wise leadership towards building a modern, comprehensive, balanced, and integrated nation. The focus has not been on one sector to the exclusion of others. Rather, the comprehensive vision has prioritized education, economy, health, tourism, technology, and culture. Riyadh has reaped a bountiful share of this ambitious transformation. The goal was not merely to improve the quality of life, but for the Kingdom to become a soft power with a real, global impact, using sports as one of its effective tools in this path.
• حين يتحول الطلاق إلى كرنفال شماتة In the exhausted corners of hearts, the word “divorce” used to be written silently in a book choked by disappointments and drowned by tears after long nights, a difficult decision taken with caution and silent weeping, and folded with sadness, and whispered with shame, as if one were burying a part of their soul with a relationship that was not meant to live. But today, in this era of uproar, we witness a strange inversion of concepts; divorce has become an occasion for laughter, not weeping, a field for displaying cakes adorned with humiliating images that deserve nothing but discretion and tranquility, a moment for celebration, not for contemplation.
• أنا أكره مديري One morning, a new colleague entered my office, and during our conversation, he asked me about the best departments in the council. I started talking about the nature of some departments, but he interrupted me, saying: “I mean the best manager.” And when I paused to think and talk, I said to myself: “If there was an ideal manager, I would swear allegiance to him and cling to him fiercely.” This situation brought me back to a book I had read titled “I Hate My Manager” by Bob Winsett, which presents real experiences with some managers, offers advice in this field, and answers many questions that bother some subordinates. The book is amusing in its genre and stirs the emotions of many who have suffered the tyranny of work and its masters.
• الطاقة الحرارية الأرضية في المملكة The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is known as one of the largest oil producers in the world and is famous for its vast fossil fuel reserves. However, the Kingdom also possesses significant potential for utilizing renewable energy sources, including geothermal energy, which can play an important role in diversifying energy sources and reducing reliance on oil. The Kingdom enjoys geological and thermal diversity that can provide suitable geothermal energy sources, especially in areas close to active faults and tectonic zones, such as the Western Region, particularly around the Hijaz and Asir mountains.
• ما بعد (CAR-T) وثورة عالجات السرطان After CAR-T cell therapies (transfer of genetically modified T-cells) revolutionized the field of oncology with their ability to cure some cases that were in advanced stages, immunologists and scientists today are heading towards the next generation of modified immune cells, a technology that aims to overcome the major obstacles facing CAR-T. These obstacles include high financial cost (exceeding one million riyals per patient in many cases), long production time (weeks), and occasional dangerous side effects, as well as their ineffectiveness in some types of tumors such as breast and colon cancer.
• الهلال بّيض الوجه وما قّصر What was expected of him and more in the Asian Champions League, the leader of world clubs presented and stood with courage and strength to fight the best club teams in the world and even defeat them in a stunning scene that surprised European giants with Saudi depth. The most optimistic did not expect the champion of Europe, Manchester City, to be one of the victims of the leader, especially since the brilliant Guardiola was looking forward to the Club World Cup as the first major title, and the return was expected through America, but the final word was for the leader of Asia.
• في الشباك A phenomenon recently emerged and occupied the sports scene and followers of Saudi football and the Saudi sports project in general. The new phenomenon, which many considered negative and a great waste of money, is the use of foreign professional players in football for some clubs with huge sums of money and lending them out after a short period, then dispensing with them, amounts that equal the budgets of some Turkish clubs, specifically Fenerbahçe, who get these players for free and even their salaries are paid from here! The impartial critics and analysts, zealous for the nation’s reputation, its sports, and its money, enriched the arena with rational arguments and constructive criticism that serves the public interest!
• كابتن المنتخب يتألم اليوم بأمل وقفة لوضع حد لمعاناته الصحية Saudi clubs suffer from the absence of a captain, a player who is almost a rare commodity, and his influential presence has become lacking today. This negative impact has extended to the national team, as the captain plays an influential role in supporting his team’s ranks and his word is effective among his teammates inside the stadium or in the dressing room. This includes good guidance and instilling a spirit of enthusiasm among them before and during the match. In the absence of a true leader, we see some players who consider themselves captains… Yesterday, they were preoccupied during the match with adjusting the captain’s armband on their arm, more concerned with admonishing their teammates than guiding them correctly and convincingly, far from emotional outbursts.
• الفصحى لم يتكلم بها العرب أبًدا The Saudi Dr. Sulaiman Al-Aayid believes that the language called Classical Arabic only reflects the level of the clear Arabic tongue, and the strict grammatical and syntactical rules, and that no Arab spoke it, even during the time of the Noble Prophet, peace be upon him. One of the proofs is that the Quraish, who were the most eloquent Arabs, did not use the hamza in their speech, meaning they did not pronounce the hamza. Even stranger is the existence of words that are not Arabic but are used in daily speech, like the Persian word “ustadh” which has no Arabic equivalent, and English words like “computer,” “mobile,” and “printer” have entered daily Arabic.

Saudi Kingdom: Vision, Progress, and Global Impact

Here are the headings from the newspaper excerpts and their first two paragraphs of detail:

امر ملكي بتعيين الفياض مستشارًا بالديوان الملكي The Kingdom’s great project of magnificent unification, an amazing event that is hard to forget, and it deserves contemplation and study. It is one of the most important historical and political transformations that have not yet been revealed, defining its position among nations that have written its story and narrative in its surroundings, but it has gone beyond this surrounding to become a vital and pivotal role, not content with merely participating in action and economy in the world and the region, but rather it has become an industry of peace, love, cooperation, and spreading the values of dialogue and harmony. From here; it is unjust to reduce the Kingdom to familiar roles and a natural presence that does not reflect its depth, influence, and impact. The Kingdom, since its unification by the genius hand of King Abdulaziz – may God rest his soul – has worked on combining authenticity and openness, and on strengthening the values of human communication and dialogue, and it is an approach that the unifying founder, who embarked on his project from an existential concern and a firm conviction, has also established, believing that there is no way to a safe and dignified life except through a creative, effective dialogue that embraces the other, extends a helping hand, and cooperates with him in promoting all good for humanity.

الخليج في مرمى النار.. واتزان القرار The Middle East entered one of its most volatile moments in decades in mid-June 2025, when a direct and intensive military confrontation erupted between Israel and Iran that lasted twelve days. Unlike previous wars, this confrontation was not confined to two traditional adversaries, but its repercussions extended to areas of influence, vital corridors, and bases from which the entire world’s interests pass. The Arabian Gulf, with its strategic geography and network of international alliances, was at the heart of this event, not on its sidelines. The Iranian attack on the American base in Qatar represented a shocking moment that redefined the limits of engagement and highlighted the fragility of regional security if left hostage to uncontrolled military calculations. However, in response to the military explosion, the Gulf response was different: a calculated balance and collective awareness of the importance of curbing escalation.

The popular proverb “Writing does not feed you,” uttered by writers and authors, has long resonated. Many have felt the bitterness of this proverb in reality, as writing remained a noble hobby that did not generate a stable income for writers for many years, nor did it guarantee them a decent living.

الفصحى لم يتكلم بها العرب أبًدا Dr. Sulaiman Al-Aayid, a Saudi scholar, believes that the Arabic language, known as Classical Arabic, only reflects the level of the clear tongue, grammatical rules, and that it is only used in writing, and that no Arab spoke it, even during the time of the Noble Prophet, peace be upon him.
