There is no power but from God..!!!
What a loss, and what a loss, that the media community witnessed over the course of two days, with the loss of two media figures in the Saudi press. Yesterday we lost another knight, whose pencil was a sharp and controversial pencil. The late beloved Thamer Al-Maiman volunteered him as a lofty ideal to serve the nation, through stinging sarcasm, sometimes dark, whose offensive arrows directed at his daily corner (My sustenance is upon God) usually hit their target with high accuracy and transparency. The penalty of restraint and suspension, and a lot of trouble and the consequences of this suspension, cost him many times.
His creative pen was not lost on what was known for his style of dealing with easy, abstaining and winged phrases, and this knight did not disdain to practice writing, his poetic creations, and his “operatic” experiences, except when his vitality fell and he became prey to the grip of heart disease, which gripped his nostrils until his soul overflowed and surrendered to its innocence.
Before communicating with his illness, which kept him in his home, I knew Abu Badr
– May God have mercy on him – sincere and truthful with himself and the Gentiles, a person who laughs with his conversations and jokes with the flavor of a humble lover of all people in various gatherings since he was a high-ranking employee in “Saudi Airlines” and then the editor-in-chief of “Al-Madina” newspaper.
I accompanied Al-Maiman on some of our journalistic trips, as well as on public and private occasions, and in the “missile forest” south of Jeddah, which he does not cease to persevere in to earn a halal livelihood, and he was very happy with this performance, which is fluent in dealing with its “hardware” with distinguished professionalism, and honor like anyone From his children without equivocation or care, not as the treasure of his dreams, but rather as one of his compensatory rests from life's troubles and "cursions".
May God have mercy on Abu Badr, who taught us the truth about the original meaning of disobedience, as we learned it from the deceased of the other media, the beloved late Muhammad Al-Faidi, and our condolences to them are great, may God’s mercy and forgiveness be upon them both.
Ali is amazing
