وَمُنْذُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً تَقْرِيبًا كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي الْجَزِيرَةِ يُطِلُّونَ مِنْ نَوَافِذِ بُيُوتِهِمْ؛ لِيُشَاهِدُوا سَيَّارَةً تَمُرُّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْعَامِّ، وَيُبْدُونَ دَهْشَتَهُمْ لِلْعَرَبَةِ الَّتِي تَسِيرُ بِلَا أَحْصِنَةٍ تَجُرُّهَا.

About seventy years ago, people on the island would peer out their windows to watch a car pass by on the main road, marveling at the carriage that moved without horses to pull it.

الْحَقَائِقُ: مَعْلُومَاتٌ مُسَلَّمٌ بِصِحَّتِهَا، يَتَّفِقُ عَلَيْهَا النَّاسُ وَيُقِرُّونَهَا بِصُورَةٍ قَاطِعَةٍ لَا تَسْتَدْعِي الْجَدَلَ وَالْخِلَافَ مِثْلُ: (الْإِنْتَرْنِتُ الَّذِي يُسْهِمُ فِي نَقْلِ الْمَعْلُومَاتِ).

Facts: Information accepted as true, which people agree upon and acknowledge definitively, leaving no room for debate or disagreement, such as: (The internet contributes to the transfer of information).

وَالْآرَاءُ: مَعْلُومَاتٌ غَيْرُ مُسَلَّمٌ بِصِحَّتِهَا، وَلَا يَتَّفِقُ عَلَيْهَا كُلُّ النَّاسِ أَوْ يُقِرُّونَهَا بِصُورَةٍ قَاطِعَةٍ، وَهِيَ تَسْتَدْعِي الْجَدَلَ وَالْخِلَافَ مِثْلُ: (الْإِنْتَرْنِتُ أَكْثَرُ فَائِدَةً مِنَ الْكِتَابِ).

Opinions: Information not accepted as universally true, which not everyone agrees upon or acknowledges definitively, and which invites debate and disagreement, such as: (The internet is more beneficial than books).
