We welcome a new year while still weighed down by what the departing year has left behind.
2025 was harsh on humanity everywhere:
wars, killing, injustice, the absence of fairness, and a painful exposure of how fragile values become when wisdom retreats and the voice of force rises.<\/p>\n

It was a year that led many to lose trust\u2014not only in politics, but in humanity itself.<\/p>\n

And yet, I believe that years are not to be condemned; they are loaded with what we place inside them.
The future is not built through pessimism, but through a collective, conscious, humane, and sincere energy.<\/p>\n

That is why I want to think about 2026 differently.
Not as a year that \u201crescues\u201d us, but as a year in which we ourselves participate in rescuing meaning.<\/p>\n

I want it to be a year of greater happiness and peace\u2014
for me, for my family, for my country, and for the whole world.<\/p>\n

On the personal level:<\/h3>\n

This year, I intend to learn something new, and to acquire a new skill.
I aim to deepen my understanding and use of artificial intelligence\u2014not merely as a technical tool, but as a cognitive partner that I integrate into my research and writing, to produce thought that is deeper and broader.<\/p>\n

I intend to continue documenting my ideas in new books and weekly articles. In 2025, I published 120 articles and released five books.
I will continue painting new artworks\u2014because some of what we feel cannot be said in words, but must be seen.<\/p>\n

I want to live with greater awareness, not greater speed.
To choose what nourishes, not what merely consumes.<\/p>\n

On the family and close human level:<\/h3>\n

I want to restore the value of genuine communication with friends, and to make a conscious effort to strengthen the bonds of my small and extended family.
Family is not something to be taken for granted; it is a responsibility renewed every day.<\/p>\n

On the level of work and service:<\/h3>\n

I will continue, as I have for the past twelve years, to provide professional healthcare to all my patients free of charge\u2014because medicine, to me, is not merely a profession, but a human covenant.<\/p>\n

And through my civil work with Takaful Association<\/em> and Education First<\/em>, we aim to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Establish 8 new nurseries<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Build 2 schools<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Train 400 teachers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Because education is not a luxury, but a right, a condition for survival, and a path to salvation.<\/p>\n

    On the intellectual and national level:<\/h3>\n

    I will continue to express my independent views on television and social media\u2014not in search of noise, but out of belief that free speech is part of societal healing, and that nations are not built by fear, but by dialogue, reason, and moral courage.<\/p>\n

    I will continue to push for improving the quality of education in Egypt, and to publish the fourth volume of \u201cEducation\u2026 The Opportunity for Salvation\u201d<\/em>, because I still believe\u2014despite everything\u2014that education is the greatest national project.<\/p>\n

    On the broader human level:<\/h3>\n

    I will continue to spread optimism\u2014
    not na\u00efve optimism, but one grounded in knowledge, experience, and a deep belief that:<\/p>\n

    Egypt is a country worthy of greatness\u2014
    by its resources, its beauty, its youth, and its children.<\/p>\n

    And that the world\u2014despite its noise\u2014is still capable of healing, if awareness triumphs over hatred, values over self-interest, and humanity over violence.<\/p>\n

    My wishes for 2026 are not an escape from reality, but resistance to it through meaning.
    And I believe that a new year does not begin when the date changes, but when we decide to be better\u2026 more honest\u2026 and braver in our ability to love, give, and hope.<\/p>\n

    This is what I wish for myself, for my country,
    and for all humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13396"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13396\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13402,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13396\/revisions\/13402"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
