writers and television hosts in Saudi Arabia who I personally respect and admire very much.
Ahmad is an active Saudi man. He started as a TV host for "Yalla Shabab" program on MBC channel. Now, he has his own Ramadan program Khawater " Reflections " which he started five years ago.
Ahmad also writes some articles in Saudi newspapers. He also published a book
" Reflections of a Young Man" and few months ago he published the second part of reflections book " Reflections 2".
Ahmad Al-Shugairi has always been interested in reading and books. He has his coffee shop "Andalusyah" in Jeddah which urges youth to read and be knowledgable.
His unique writing style and moderate entertaining way of hosting educational programs has Influenced many young adults and made him very popular in the Arab world .
Shugairi’s success stems from relating the tenets of Islam to everyday life.
For example he said that, it’s against Islam to waste and not to care for the poor. And he went to a wealthy neighborhood in Jeddah, where he lives, and showed huge amounts of food being tossed into a dumpster!! and then he showed images of people starving in other parts of the world.
He also talks about incredibly mundane things, which actually I think is one of the wonderful things about his show.
For instance, he talked about type of the way people park their cars, and he said, you know, there’s a careless way to do this.
A lot of what he’s doing is really sort of basic civics. He says be a responsible person, but he is talking about that in an Islamic language.
Well done Dodi, really I like your way of writing.
