This is we and these are our sublime values
When the coronavirus (COVID-19) invaded the borders of countries across the globe, infecting and claiming the lives of many people and draining the global economy, leaders of these countries rushed to their operation rooms and conference halls to study, analyze, supervise and plan all what they can do to preserve their most valuable asset. However, countries vary in their assessment of the most valuable asset that they have in terms of their political agendas or economies or their party interests or presidential elections and so on.In this turbulent scenario that emerged after the outbreak of the pandemic, Saudi Arabia comes in the forefront of countries that have clearly demonstrated that their most valuable asset is humans. It harnessed all its resources, including manpower, money,...

To protect the society, let’s build confidence and unify ranks
The proliferation of the COVID-19 virus posed a serious threat to world public health due to its rapid spread over a wide area and the great difficulty in imposing precautionary measures to curb the spread of the epidemic.Following the outbreak of the epidemic in the Chinese city of Wuhan, early last year, China took firm, decisive, comprehensive, full-fledged highest-level precautionary measures including quarantines to curb the spread of the epidemic.

‘Hold your heads up high,’ a message to our invisible heroes

Yes, I want to be the second wife!!!
Tariq A. Al-Maeena A FEW weeks ago, a column I wrote titled “Should I take another wife” drew a very moving reply which I am submitting below. It offers another perspective into the multi-wives quandary facing some members of society.The writer says: “Mr. Al-Maeena’s writing has prompted me to reply. I would have totally agreed with him about 30 years ago when I was twenty. The idea of marrying a married man and having to be part of an extended family of co-wives and children would have been a shocking ultimatum for me. Having been brought up in the UK and not having the practical knowledge about polygamy, it would have been a definite no. But age has mellowed me and has shown me the benefits of plural marriages.“I have three unmarried young adult children whom I love dearly....

A conversation with my American friend
I asked an American female friend living in one of the suburbs of San Francisco about their condition — how she and her family were faring during the crisis.She replied that her daughter and she were suffering from coughing and shortness of breath. However, the health authorities had instructed her to stay at home since she was not suffering from a high temperature.I asked her about the conditions in the city and its suburbs, whose roads and markets I know very well.She replied that people have been gripped by panic, have gone into panic buying and were stockpiling food and tissues and including toilet paper. She said she found that totally dumb!For a moment, I imagined how the scene was. This place was throbbing with glittering life all the time, its malls and markets were full of all...

Coronavirus … the Virgin Mary’s lesson of deliverance

Coronavirus and savings
Novel Coronavirus has stunned our planet as do science fiction movies. The stories that we used to hear and read about in history have now become a practical scenario.We see how a virus, which is not visible to the naked eye, can make scientists spend sleepless nights and tend to eliminate our economic gains, in a blink of an eye. I see there seems to be an agreement between the virus and technology as if viruses are ruling our planet!Technology now tightens its grip on the arteries of the world, by running its affairs at times while enslaving it at other times and will soon kill it. But now, in the backdrop of coronavirus fears, we see the collapse of stock markets and the decline and instability of the international markets. Even individuals are affected.The businesses of people who are...
