Farewell to the Big Loss of the Nation
Though we believe that death is a defint truth, and that all people must go through this way, but we cannot resist the feeling of shock and grief for missing the leaders of our nation. What is worse, He is not like anyone else. He is Naif, a man of security, a man of war and peace, security and safety engineer, the political veteran and the man who always has been staying up nights to ensure safety and security of his nation.
Naif was a symbol of our nation and a brilliant leader among our leaders. He was brought up in the school of the founder, King Abdulaziz. Thus, He had the right to be loved by all people in his nation. Everyone who got to know Naif, who was a prince, minister, leader and a human being, defiantly he has to feel sad and miss him so much. We nevertheless do not say except what pleases our Lord: "We belong to God and to Him we return" God said: (and human patient, who, when afflicted with calamity, say: Allah and to Him we shall return, to them those blessings from their Lord, and mercy, and those are the rightly guided.
We ask God to perpetuate the leaders of this country, security and stability, and to make this country always safe and secure under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his brothers.

With tearful hearts filled with sadness and submission to God, Saudi Arabia and the Islamic and Arab nations received the news of the death of His Highness Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz, may God have mercy on him.

We Miss you Sadly Naif
«As long as the King is is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, then every citizen should also be the servant of these two houses which is an honor for us»
With the death of Naif Bin Abdulaziz, the country did not lose an ordinary man, instead the whole Muslim world and Arab world lost the most important security man in the world that coped with terrorism, corruption, chaos and demagoguery. Whoever has a look at his CV would realize what this man has of personal leadership characteristics and capabilities as well as wisdom, statesmanship, foresight and extrapolation for the future in making important decisions that would affect the security, administrative and social decision. That was clearly seen in his directions to the prince of regions through regular meetings with them to listen attentively to the need of citizens and problems in order to provide what would improve this beloved country and its citizens.
Prince Naif has capabilities and potential that made his father, the founder of this country -God bless his soul- gives him the confidence and depend on him. Therefore, He was appointed as Deputy of Riyadh region then a prince of Riyadh, when he did not exceed 20-year-old. More than 37 years ago, Prince Naif was appointed as the interior minister and followed his father's approach in security and safety until it became the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior. His strategies and decisions serve to achieve the most prominent feature in the Kingdom. In1423, the approval of the High Commissioner was issued to adopt His Royal Highness Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz, an international award of the Prophetic Sunnah and Contemporary Islamic Studies located in Medina, which has become comparable to the largest international awards that serve Islam and Muslims all over the world. Ministry of Interior and its sectors have witnessed a number of development processes which dealt with the regulations and organizational structures as well as working processes. We perhaps as citizens would see so clearly through the speed and ease of transactions and services accessibility using modern technology, especially in the areas of traffic, Passports and Civil Status which all paid to his credits. His highness played a pivotal role in the development and modernization of the legislation and constitution in the Kingdom through his chairmanship of the Special Commission which set major policy which is the official ruling system of the country, Shura Council and system of regions that were issued in 1412.
Since he has his expertise and experience in this area, He was chosen by the Arab Interior Ministers five years ago to be an honor president of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, where stands behind the adoption of a number of Arab agreements aimed at the achievement of Arab security. His Highness also chaired the Board of Naif Arab University for Security Sciences. Naif will always remain a symbol and a reminder for every philanthropist and advocate for peace and an enemy of evil and corruption.

Naif bin Abdulaziz, symbol of wisdom
Once the announcement of the death of Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz - may Allah grant mercy on him- grief and pain was clearly seen on the faces of everyone due to the loss of this man who gave to his religion and his country too much. The character of Prince Naif was and still a school in the nobility, foresight and wisdom. He was able to be close to all with no exception. His behavior with all segments of society was the same. He was one of the pillars of this State.
I had the privilege of meeting His Highness more than once and some of which were private sessions. I was impressed by kindness and his ability to listen without interrupt. He was always asking for precise details and was very careful on the nation and its security and stability. His last will was to love doing well for people and. He used to say: many who praise, but few were honest which we need. Sometimes, meeting would last for more than three hours.He was always keen on youth issues, values, ethics and good citizenship, Therefore his efforts was not part of a security only but also had a great interest and care in communicating with universities and scientific awards. Prince Naif remains a symbol of wisdom and glory. If there is a prayer i would say, then it would be May Allah bestow upon him eternal JENANAH.

Naif is the Security and Politics
Saudi Arabia, Arabic and Islamic World lost the Knight of security and politics Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz who was a model of a special man who in his era, the country witnessed a comprehensive renaissance in the security sector, which contributed to laying the foundations of security and stability in our country. He dedicated his attention to security files and worked to develop them as being regarded as a partnership between the citizen and the security institutions. Among his interest in the security of this country that he made the fight against deviant thought in the list of files in which he dealt with this file wisely. He attempted to fight thought with thought rather than using force as being beneficial thus he said "thought should be fought by thought away from the violence and force, and we need to look at the background of any behavior, and then adjust this behavior in a way that would benefit young people and assist them in their careers and their lives." This vision is the best one. Security of the country and citizens was not the only burden he had; but he was also responsible for the security of the whole world, in other words, the security of the pilgrims via providing all means of comfort for them to perform their Hajj smoothly and easily.
In the context of promoting the concept of comprehensive security and the protection of society, he sought - may God have mercy on him - the protection of this nation from the harm of drugs, and mobilized all energies in order to fight the outbreak in Saudi society. He headed the National Commission for Drug Control, and endeavored to develop this committee, which was formed with the participation of several ministries .He concluded his life - may God have mercy on him - by enduring the entire nation burden when the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques - may God protect him - issued a decree to appointment him as a crown prince. May Allah grant on him mercy and peace on him.
