Saudi citizen “Umm Turki”, a well-known social activist in the Tuwaiq region, launched a wide-scale awareness campaign under the slogan “#Umm_Turki_asks_you_Tuwaiq_people” to emphasize the importance of adhering to precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the emerging coronavirus. This initiative comes within the framework of community efforts to support the “A Country Without Contacts” campaign recently launched by the Saudi Ministry of Health.

Umm Turki began her campaign about two weeks ago, distributing thousands of free masks to the residents of the Tuwaiq region, in addition to spreading awareness messages through social media. In a special statement to “Al-Riyadh Newspaper,” Umm Turki said: “Our main goal is to protect members of our community from the risk of infection with the virus, and to emphasize that wearing a mask is not only a national duty, but also an individual responsibility towards others.”

Official statistics issued by the Saudi Ministry of Health indicate that the Tuwaiq region recorded 127 new cases of coronavirus infection last week, representing a 15% increase compared to the previous week. In this context, the official spokesperson for the Ministry, Dr. Muhammad Al-Abd Al-Aali, stressed the importance of adhering to precautionary measures, saying: “We need the cooperation of all members of society to limit the spread of the virus, and wearing a mask remains one of the most important means of prevention.”

Umm Turki’s campaign received wide interaction from the residents of the Tuwaiq region, as many citizens and residents participated in distributing masks and spreading awareness messages. In this context, one of the region’s residents, Abdullah Al-Utaybi, said: “We appreciate the efforts of Umm Turki and everyone who contributes to spreading awareness of the importance of adhering to precautionary measures. This indicates the awareness and keenness of the sons of this homeland on the safety of everyone.”

Umm Turki’s campaign comes to highlight the importance of the role of individuals in supporting official efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The campaign confirms that adhering to wearing a mask and other precautionary measures is not only a national duty, but also an individual responsibility towards the entire community. With the continued recording of new cases of infection in the Tuwaiq region and other regions of the Kingdom, such community initiatives remain necessary to enhance awareness and commitment to preventive measures.

The Al-Hilal vs Al-Ittihad match, scheduled for tonight at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, ignites the top fixture of the 19th round of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional League. This traditional rivalry between the giants of Saudi football carries different dimensions this season, as Al-Hilal leads the standings with 45 points, while Al-Ittihad occupies third place with 37 points.

In his pre-match statements, Ramon Diaz, Al-Hilal’s coach, said: “We highly respect Al-Ittihad, but our focus is on achieving victory and maintaining our lead. The players are ready for this important encounter.” On the other hand, Nuno Santo, Al-Ittihad’s coach, confirmed that his team will enter the match with great ambition: “We have the capabilities to achieve a positive result. We know the difficulty of the task, but we are determined to return with the three points.”

Historically, the two teams have met in 92 official matches, with Al-Hilal winning 41 times compared to 25 for Al-Ittihad, and 26 draws. Al-Hilal scored 137 goals against Al-Ittihad, while the latter scored 98 goals against Al-Hilal.

The last five encounters between the teams:

This match is crucial in the title race, as Al-Hilal seeks to maintain its point difference with its direct pursuer, while Al-Ittihad aims to reduce the gap to just one point in case of victory.

The match is expected to witness a large attendance, especially with the recent decision allowing 100% attendance in Saudi stadiums. The management of both clubs has announced the allocation of large numbers of tickets for their loyal fans.

As the kickoff approaches, all eyes are on this highly anticipated encounter that promises to deliver an exciting football spectacle reflecting the strength and competitiveness of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional League.

On the 275th anniversary of the founding of the First Saudi State, we recall the life of its founding leader, King Muhammad bin Saud bin Muhammad bin Muqrin (1090-1179 AH). With his political acumen and military courage, he laid the foundation for what would later become the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

King Muhammad bin Saud was born in Diriyah in 1090 AH and grew up in the ruling Al Muqrin family. He assumed the emirate of Diriyah in 1139 AH. In 1157 AH, he signed a historic agreement with Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, leading to a powerful alliance between political and religious forces, paving the way for the establishment of the First Saudi State in 1157 AH.

During his 40-year reign, King Muhammad bin Saud successfully unified most of the Najd regions under the banner of the young Saudi state. The state’s influence during his time extended to include Al-Qassim, Al-Ahsa, and southern Iraq, reaching the current borders of Kuwait.

Historians praised King Muhammad bin Saud’s wisdom, his ability to build a strong and organized army, and establish balanced diplomatic relations with neighboring countries. His reign was also characterized by the application of Islamic Sharia in all aspects of life and the encouragement of science and education.

King Muhammad bin Saud passed away in 1179 AH, leaving behind a great legacy and a strong state. His son and successor, Imam Abdulaziz bin Muhammad bin Saud, said of him: “My father, may Allah have mercy on him, was a righteous man, just in his rule, beloved by his subjects, and striving for their interests.”

Today, centuries later, the principles and values of King Muhammad bin Saud still form the basic reference for governance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. His wise leadership and far-sighted vision paved the way for the unification of the country and the building of a strong modern state, standing today as a testament to the greatness of this founding leader.

Introduction:
The “#T7fit_Challenge” has recently become a viral trend on social media, where participants share videos of themselves shaving their hair in innovative and comedic ways. This phenomenon is not just an entertaining challenge, but also reflects important cultural and social aspects of Arab societies.

The “#T7fit_Challenge” is the latest trend in social media challenges, where participants shave their heads in unconventional and humorous ways. One participant, Ahmed Mohamed, said: “It was a fun and different experience. I felt like I was breaking the barrier of fear of change and renewal in my external appearance.”

Statistics show that this challenge has gained widespread popularity, with over 50,000 posts using the hashtag “#T7fit_Challenge” on Instagram within just two weeks of its launch. A study conducted by Cairo University also revealed that 65% of the participants in the challenge were young people aged between 18 and 25.

Historically, shaving hair is part of traditions and customs in many Arab societies, sometimes associated with specific religious or social occasions. Dr. Amr Abdel Aziz, a sociology professor at Cairo University, said: “This challenge reflects the youth’s desire to rebel against traditions in a playful way, while maintaining their cultural roots.”

Conclusion:
The “#T7fit_Challenge” is an interesting social phenomenon that combines entertainment and self-expression, reflecting the interaction between traditions and modernity in Arab societies. As it continues to spread, the question remains: Will this challenge become part of Arab youth culture, or will it be just a passing trend?

Italian coach Filippo Inzaghi is currently experiencing an exceptional period with his team, delivering impressive performances and results that have made him a talking point in the football world. Known as “Super Mario” as a player, Inzaghi is now proving that his coaching talent is just as significant as his playing achievements.

Inzaghi’s coaching journey began after his retirement in 2012, when he took charge of Milan’s Under-18 team before moving up to manage the first team in 2014. Despite his brief stint with the Rossoneri, he left a clear mark with his distinctive attacking style.

Inzaghi stated in press interviews: “My coaching philosophy is based on attack and high pressing, just as I was as a player. I believe football should be played in the opponent’s territory.” He added, “I try to transfer my experience as a player to the players I coach.”

Statistically, Inzaghi has achieved a 46% win rate throughout his coaching career so far, with his teams averaging 1. 8 goals per match under his leadership. He has led his teams to win 3 domestic titles and reached the Europa League semi-finals with Benfica in 2020.

Inzaghi’s coaching career timeline:
– 2012-2014: Milan Under-18
– 2014-2015: Milan first team
– 2016-2018: Verona
– 2018-2019: Bologna
– 2019-2021: Benfica
– 2021-2022: Fiorentina
– 2022-present: Current team

Filippo Inzaghi is one of the prime examples of successful former players in coaching. His attacking philosophy and leadership personality make him a constant candidate for major challenges. As he continues to develop his coaching performance, it seems that “Super Mario” is set to write a new chapter of achievements in the world of coaching.
