The wise tennis player and coach, Rima Aidan, has a wide culture, which the answers in this dialogue reveal, in addition to her success in her family and social relationships. What confirms that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body, and that fitness is not only in muscles, but also in literature, and dealing with moral highness, and here is the text of our conversation with our guest:
hours on our wrists
• What do you miss in the current Ramadan?
•• I miss time.. the rhythm of life is very fast.. and the remaining hours that we carry in our watches that wrap around our wrists do not suffice and do not cover the areas of passion in our hearts.
• Ramadan is stuck in your memory.. since when and why?
•• It is a generous month and a source of joy and a source of happiness in the hearts of Muslims. Ramadan is a month of worship and drawing closer to God.
• Something on the table that you prefer other than food? •• Family talk, reviewing some memories, and drawing some small plans inside and outside the house.
• Which do you prefer: the quiet days of Ramadan or its noisy evenings? •• Every Ramadan is beautiful.. since it was announced until he waves his hand leaving and greets us to the blessed Eid Al-Fitr, where the joy and laughter of children sticks to our hearts.
Music in memory
• Characters you wish to share Ramadan breakfast with?
•• Everyone I love, everyone who contributed to building my successes, everyone who took my hand, and everyone who lived in my feelings and memories of my family and loved ones.
• A Ramadan dish that does not miss your table?
•• Salad, juice and some sources of protein.
• Do you fast from social networking sites in Ramadan?
•• I hope so.. The virtual world has taken us all to it and is attached to our daily lives, interests and needs.. But I try in Ramadan to provide as much time as possible for worship and reading the Qur’an.
• Music stuck in your mind associated with Ramadan?
•• Music I do not remember the names of its authors, but it is famous and lives in the memory and conscience of the Saudi people in the short and long term.
My battle with my goals How much is the total bill for “Ramadan lawsuits”?
•• Medium.. so that I shop almost daily to buy what the house needs or what it requires in the event of receiving guests.
• Where does the "Ramadan Iftar" compass go outside the home?
•• Towards family, some girlfriends, and interest partners.
• What do you watch on TV, other than the Maghrib call to prayer?
•• Saudi works, whether cultural, religious or dramatic.
• Battles you wish to close their chapters in Ramadan?
A: I have no battles to fight with human beings.. Perhaps the real battle that I hope will not end is with my very lofty goals and aspirations, and the number of challenges that I face and confront me, and thank God I have achieved great victories in that.
• A city you wish to spend Ramadan in.. and why?
•• Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah.. where the soul resides and the soul reassures.
religiosity index
• In Ramadan.. Does our religiosity index increase.. And why?
•• I do not think that religiosity is a relative indicator in a country where Islam is 100%, and a destination for all Muslims in the world. Ramadan is a month that has a good and beautiful privacy in the hearts of Muslims, and that beauty is reflected in our strong and strong relationship with our religion and our social relations among us as a peaceful Muslim society.
• Is the atmosphere of the restaurant a thing of the past?
•• Perhaps to some extent.
A door you came out of stuck in your memory?
•• I do not remember the doors through which I came out.. I am preoccupied with the doors through which I will enter my successes and dreams.
How do you see the world today?
A: At his best under our government, and under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his trustworthy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the hope of youth.
• If you were given the choice between living alone on a secluded island or living in a bustling city crowded with people, what would you choose?
•• Where my family and my dreams are at the farthest point in the world. The real place is the place of family, loved ones and livelihood. The real place is the bastion of dreams and wishes.
A book I did not regret • A book I regret reading.. What is it?
•• nothing.
• How do you deal with «WhatsApp»?
•• “WhatsApp” to communicate about my work.
• During your practical career.. Did your sail go as your wind desires?
•• A lot.. With God's blessings and then my father's prayers, I achieved high, important and interesting leaps.
When did you feel let down last time?
•• I did not know this feeling.. and this word is not found in my dictionary.
I am not afraid • What is the thing that opens the windows of nostalgia inside you..a song, a memory, a street, a perfume?
•• All of that.. and maybe the morning breeze and sunlight.
• What did your team that you encourage give you, other than pressure and tense nerves?
•• Pleasure and enthusiasm, which are the essence of the matter.
• Are you afraid of the robot and its competition with the working human being in the future?
A: Of course not.. The robot works with a remote control and an order from the robot maker.
• Does the paper smell? Do you read books on tablets? How would you describe the sound of turning pages?
•• Touching the book is part of his reading, and feeling the weight of the book and the rustle of its papers while browsing is something that gives him the hue of the spirit and the handshake.
