هددت أعمال الإزالة لمصلحة المرحلة الثالثة من توسعة خادم الحرمين الشريفين والتي تبدأ من باب الملك فهد امتدادا إلى منارة الصفا، بقطع بث قناة القرآن الكريم عن 1.5 مليار مسلم حول العالم، لا سيما أن الاستوديو الجديد لم ينجر بالكامل وغير مهيأ للانتقال إليه.
وأبدى منسوبو القناة مخاوفهم إزاء الأعمال المتاخمة لمقرها، مطالبين في الوقت عينه بسرعة انتقال استوديو النقل إلى المبنى المخصص الجديد بجوار فندق دار التوحيد رغم عدم انتهاء العمل فيه وتجهيزه بشكل كامل.
وشكا موظفون من بيئة العمل التي أضحت غير صالحة، متسائلين عن تأخر أعمال نقل مقر البث إلى المكان المخصص والذي لم تشر أية معطيات إلى جاهزيته التامة تمهيدا للانتقال الكلي الكفيل بسلامة ورصانة أعمال النقل والتي تحتاج إلى فريق متكامل وجاهز.
وأكد العاملون أن الاستديو الحالي ناهز عمره الثلث قرن واستمر طيلة السنوات الأخيرة نبراسا للعمل التلفزيوني والإذاعي والذي مكن أكثر من مليار ونصف مليار مسلم من متابعة الحدث لحظة بلحظة وفي جميع وسائل الإعلام بعد أن كان البث حكرا على صلوات معينة ومسجلة في الماضي.
وذكرت مصادر لـ»مكة» أن جهتين؛ إحداهما حكومية والأخرى خاصة، تقدمتا إلى الجهات العليا بشكوى لاتخاذ اللازم وإخلاء المسؤولية تجاه أي أضرار قد تلحق بالمنارة التي تتضمن استديوهات النقل.
إلى ذلك قال نائب رئيس هيئة الإذاعة والتلفزيون المهندس صالح المغيليث لـ»مكة»: «إن الأمر تجري معالجته في الشؤون الهندسية والمشاريع ويوجد تنسيق بينهم وبين المقاول، مستبعدا وجود أي مشكلة في هذا الصدد، وأن الأمور جرى ترتيبها بمعرفة هيئة الإذاعة والتلفزيون والمقاول، مضيفا أن مشروعا بهذا الحجم لا يسير بهذا النحو في ظل وجود مستشارين ومتخصصين والانتقال سيتم بوضع طبيعي.

Experimental operation of the 480-km Haramain Railway that links the two holy cities of Makkah and Madinah will take place in the beginning of next year, said Transport Minister Jabara Al-Seraisry.
He said the first train from a total of 35 trains for the railway would arrive in the Kingdom by the end of this year. “We need sometime to fix the train’s parts and we’ll conduct an experimental operation.”
“We have completed 90 percent work on the main stations and we are studying prospects of establishing a new station near the Meeqat Mosque in Madinah for the benefit of pilgrims,” the minister said.
The 300 km/h speed train system will pass by Jeddah, King Abdulaziz International Airport and King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh.
Al-Seraisry, who inspected the railway station in Madinah, urged contractors to establish proper rainwater drainage systems for the stations.
He said work on the two stations in Makkah and Madinah was affected by Umrah and Haj seasons. “Engineers wanted to establish the stations 1.2 meters above the ground level to protect them from flashfloods.”
The Madinah station located in the Knowledge Economic City covers an area of 172,000 square meters and include passenger lounges, six platforms for trains, arrival and departure halls, a helipad, and a mosque and a parking area for 1,000 vehicles.

Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman inaugurated an international seminar, entitled “The Printing and Publication of the Holy Qur’an: Realities and Objectives,” in Madinah on Tuesday.
The forum was organized by the King Fahd Qur’an Printing Complex at Le Meridien Hotel in the holy city and was conducted under the aegis of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah.
The prince also cut a tape to open an exhibition on the sidelines of the forum and toured the expo, which showcased various publications of the Holy Qur’an, its manuscripts and other printed literature at the complex.
Islamic Affairs Minister Saleh Al-Asheikh and other guests accompanied the prince. The prince was also presented with a new exclusive copy of the Holy Qur’an and the first edition of the holy book in braille.
Al-Asheikh briefly outlined how the Qur’an was first compiled and sent to major Muslim powerhouses during the time of the third caliph, Uthman bin Affan.
“Scribes went to great lengths to copy the verses exquisitely and with precision throughout the centuries,” he said.
“Even after the invention of printing machines, hand-written copies of the Qur’an remained the versions of choice since scholars feared errors at printing houses and preferred to stick to traditional artistic techniques.”
The King Fahd Qur’an Printing Complex was soon to be established, nevertheless, and copies printed within the establishment were scrutinized using advanced technological methods.
“More than 230 million copies of the holy book have been printed at the complex,” he said.
“Other publications printed at the complex include studies and literature on the holy book, including commentaries and meanings in various languages. The Qur’an has been translated into 63 languages, while close to 300 million copies of Qur’an-related literature have been printed by the complex.”
“The seminar comes as a affirmation to all those who are interested in such mechanisms since printing the Qur’an is no easy task,” Al-Asheikh said. The minister also commended the keenness of King Abdullah, Crown Prince Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, and Deputy Crown Prince Muqrin to support the printing complex.
Muhammad Al-Oufi, secretary-general of the complex, also spoke on the occasion.
He said the goals of the forum included laying down codes of reference and formulating an optimum method for printing and proofing the holy book, in addition to facilitating a meeting between experts on the Qur’an.
Ahmed Shukri of the University of Jordan lauded the efforts made by the country in printing, publishing and distributing flawless and free copies of the Qur’an to Muslims around the globe.
