Large crowds of men and women perform Tarawih prayers in the Two Holy Mosques, we see them on TV screens, as well as other crowds in separate pictures of many mosques, and the truth does not lie or flatter the reality of our societies, many of which still maintain the practice of their religious rites in this holy month, in At the same time when we watch these pictures, we remember what we watch from clips of Gulf series shown in Ramadan, so they stop us to read this gap in the distance from reality in what those series portray about our Arab and Gulf societies and between the actual and real reality. Every year of Ramadan, some dramas compete In her vice and the decadence of her plot and story, and if the matter stops at this point, she rather competes in promoting everything that is abnormal, strange and foreign to society, and she would present us with a societal issue that needs treatment, but rather brings the problem to make it a disease that spreads in our societies, and depicts to us that this is our reality This is our case.
No matter how we distort the facts, our Gulf societies still maintain in many aspects their nature, privacy and moral heritage. On the other hand, dramas come to depict different things for us, so you find work that shows us that our society is running after whims and desires and naked dancers, and portrays us that our societies are open in their relations To the point of infidelity, yes, do not be surprised by the egregiousness of the word. In one of the Gulf series, a man asks his wife for things in which there is a lot of sorcery, so do the dramatists increase the caliber year after year in the audacity of their presentation and the contempt of their cases?!
What also stops me is their representation due to the absence of the role of the state, the government, and the security and police agencies, while the reality of our countries says otherwise. Praise be to God, we have very developed security and police agencies, and every day we hear, see and read news about the arrest of the perpetrators hours after the crime was committed. These matters in the drama series that always reduce the role of the security services in their drama, as if we are really living in a forest without supervision or accountability?!
Not to mention the legal gaps, and the complete disregard for the developments in our countries at the legal level, which address many problems proactively.
Drama makers are looking for strange, intrusive stories, in an attempt to create an exciting work, and they really want to, they want to create controversial content, transmitted by tongues, and full of talk about it on communication platforms to create him fame, sometimes they bring you a heinous murder, and sometimes they bring you forbidden relationships, And once they depicted the evil of the world and religion for you and it was gathered in one person, and the catastrophe is that we were watching dramas that mimic evil and evil, but there was a struggle between good and evil, and the good who triumphs in the end, but these good days are parked on the shelf, there is no power in front of him The force of evil, which they often portray with infinite cleverness and cunning, so that it is difficult to stop or hold them accountable, and all of this is not the same, neither from near nor from afar, to our societies, but rather it is an empty person who wanted to fill the paper with his corrupt ink.
