Our national day, a moon in the nation's sky
Published in Alriyadh on 21 - 09 - 2011

In the peak of the importance and historical position of the national day of any country, and in any society, when this importance is not limited to leader celebrating it, or a sect, rather it is celebrated considering it to be a history movement of a nation's personality, a unified society and international presence methodology, where it is a gain for the citizens because it is the concept of citizens presence, in its regional geography or international membership. But in our Arab world and by the current event evidences, showing off or bloodiness, wasting of presence of social and national desires gathering in the development path through one group vision, all of this happened in the mazes of a number of Arab societies where its temporary periodic stability was linked to a name of an individual or his group, then what was notable ages so that a new replacement emerges.
We can look forward to the personality of King Abdulaziz- may Allah have mercy on him- and the progression of our development to find that Abdulaziz didn't unify a nation only, which is very hard, to look for a personal presence, where the tribal leaders before his time and during the beginnings of his era used this concept to be noted, where the periodic presence depends on the personality side and the time of the presence, the time of his tribe's or city's activity.
King Abdulaziz created what expresses a huge privilege in the reality of the Arab world before one hundred years when he accomplished the hard mission, in fact it is the hardest in the Arab world where at that time, before a hundred years, the European arts were known for Arabs and the far cultures in Russia and pre-communism, Europe and America were closely circulated professional readers who published it. Universities were there, and the European layout was provided in some countries, and the freedom movements from old invasions promise in media the unification of Arabs that had awareness and education, but nothing of that happened.
The Missions of King Abdulaziz were not easy, whether if they were compared to the personal abilities or the type of citizenship and its awareness extinct of the necessities of going out of tribal and villagers issues, and this is what it lived during one thousand years in the Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman ages. Here is the presence miracle in the leadership quality of King Abdulla, where he founded a country out of nothing; he founded a huge unity on a huge spread and distances along with vast concepts and close enmities. If it was for some one other than King Abdulaziz he would say that this mission is hard and personal abilities will fail in front of it, but this historical great man is the one who founded the evidences of his personal qualifications through the achievements of this qualification in unifying the nation with skilled efforts.
In our national day we will not look into limited celebration occasions, but we will see in our modern history the qualifications of the internationally distinguished and notable presence that includes the promises of a finer future.
