i t is too difficult for many, particularly the self-conceited to apologize to others because they feel the weight of pronouncing the word “sorry.” they consider this a form of weakness and submission and this is not strange in a society that does not know the culture of apologizing for the roughness of its nature and its lack of awareness of the lessons included in apology.
it is necessary to inculcate a culture of apology in the hearts of the young people since childhood, so the young do not escape any wrongdoing without an apology.
in an interview with the well-known saudi preacher, ayed al-qarni, who was previously involved in scandals and publishing issues, and played a decisive role in deceiving thousands of young saudis, during the disastrous (saw) awakening period, and sending them to their deaths in the barren lands of afghanistan, the deserts of iraq and the valleys of syria mentioned to the presenter of the program, abdullah al-mudayfar, who considered him to be one of the leaders of the awakening, and he owes it to the saudi society to apologize for its role and must admit that it has erred in the right of the saudis, and it must ask forgiveness from them.
ayed al-qarni replied, “i am human, and i say openly in the name of the awakening that i apologize to the saudi society for the mistakes which have contradicted the tolerance of islam and the moderate religion and lost a lot of people.” in the name of schwa, i apologize to everyone, as i am now with moderate, open and moderate islam, which prince bin salman has called for!
last thursday, former mp walid al-tabatabai walked out of prison upon an amnesty, and the media was waiting for him outside the gates of the prison, where he thanked hh the amir. he was sobbing and could not control his tears and when someone asked why he was crying he said he was crying for ‘his mother’ who had died a while ago in a turkish hospital.
it is difficult not to sympathize with abu musaed, who in his ordeal and the situation he is in what awaits him in another court ruling, after he has become a sort of political ‘outcast’, perhaps forever given his previous prestige.
wonderful, mr. walid, for your loyalty to your mother, and crying over her, but what about the mothers of thousands of syrians who have lost their children and directly or in an indirect manner you have contributed to their death?
what about all the extreme hatred that you had and you may still have for everyone who has a sectarian disagreement with you? what about the money you wasted and spent on the weapons which destroyed the lives of the syrian mothers, sisters, and wives?
don’t they also deserve a teardrop from your eyes and an apology? are the lives of mothers of people, no matter who they are, cheap and the lives of our mothers dear? the late mother died honorably, and she was buried while you were beside her, and you accepted the solace in her while you are free. what about the hundreds or maybe thousands of mothers who died, whose bodies were thrown out in the open with no one to cover them?
a large segment of the people in this homeland, your colleagues, brothers, and sisters in destiny whom you show disdain called them infidel also deserve a clear apology from you, not just tears. you have sinned against them, with or without intent, and history will not have mercy on you, do not leave this world with the guilt of those around your neck. it is time to submit an apology because an apology is the quality of good men.
