General Secretary of the Council of Senior Scholars delivers a lecture on "Decisive Storm" at King Khalid University.
King Khalid University represented by the Deanship of Students Affairs hosted the Secretary General of the Council of Senior Scholars, His Excellency Dr. Sheikh Fahad bin Saad Al-Majid, who delivered a lecture entitled 'Decisive Storm and Flag Banner: Messages from science and knowledge'. The lecture was presented yesterday in the main campus's auditorium, Abha. Dr. Al Majid explained the importance of this lecture especially at such a University that is interested in science and knowledge. He stressed on the strong relationship between Decisive Storm and Flag Banner, which this lecture is about, and pointed the need for clarifying and discussing it. He mentioned that everyone who works in the academic fields is considered a soldier and protector of the nation, even if he / she was not in battlefield.
Sheikh Majid also extrapolated about the lecture from Repentance (Surah Al taubah) through 9 messages addressed to the audience. These massages included how the power of science comes after the strong beliefs (faith force) and the imperative form for learning in Repentance (surah Al taubah) came in a similar imperative form of Al Jihad. Moreover, he pointed out that the existing right of the duty of education is equivalent to the right based on Al Jihad, thus clarifying the importance of education. He directed the attention of the audience to how Almighty God granted human beings the learning tools such as ears, eyes and heart. Additionally, he stressed on how human beings are naturally born with the ability to believe (faith).
In his seventh message, Sheikh Al Majid clarified how human beings know about the nature of their life and how that opens the prospects for learning in various areas of life. The 8th message summarized that the universal knowledge consists of wisdom and Sunan (practices), and these are described as the wings of knowledge. In the last message, the sheikh pointed out that knowledge was, is and will continue to be the supplying force of human life, as it was, as it is and as it will in future.
