To speak the truth is the real service to the nation
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 03 - 2015

This refers to the article "Who are the real violators of residency and labor laws?" by Khaled Almaeena (March 8). To speak the truth is the real service to the nation. I salute Khaled Almaeena for such inspiring article which speaks volume of truth. Islam is full of numerous examples of social justice which should be restored in the contemporary Muslim societies, otherwise Islamic history which is based on social and human values will become a frozen past. And other nations will mock us. May Allah guide us to set the best example of social justice as enshrined in Islam!

I appreciate your efforts always as I have been reading your articles in the local press. We need to teach our Saudi brothers that this (violation of residency and labor laws) brings a disrepute to the Saudi nation and to Islam. This Kafalah (sponsorship) practice, which is part of the Saudi culture, should be abolished as soon as possible. Let us show the human image of our religion to the whole world at a time when we are going through a very tough phase in our history.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Mousa, Online response
Hats off for writing so truthfully. It is natural for every human beings to look for greener pastures and it is also true that Saudi Arabia has helped in bringing many people's dream to reality. But it doesn't mean that expatriates are second-class human beings. We are followers of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) and let us show the world how beautifully we try to follow his Sunnah without compromising the safety, integrity, ethics and culture of Saudi Arabia.
