تنبيه أول: غرض المقال إثارة الأسئلة والكشف عن أثر اليوم الوطني في التاريخ الهجري في المملكة العربية السعودية.

تنبيهٍ ثانٍ: عادتي ترك استعمال أي تاريخٍ سوى التاريخ الهجري، وأستغني بذلك عن وضع الهاء بعد الأعوام جريًا على هذه العادة المستقرة إلا في مواضع يسيرة.

مقدمة

لا أظن أن الساسة الغربيين أرباب التقويم الميلادي الشمسي قد اعتبروا بيوبيل ذهبي قمري في القرن الرابع عشر الهجري قبل شوال عام 1369 [1]. مر 50 عامًا قمريًا على استرداد الرياض وانطلاق الحكم السعودي. وقد شهد الملك عبدالعزيز مؤسس البلاد تمام البنيان الذي ابتدأه في عام 1319. ثم طال الزمان وصارت الذكرى مئوية في عام 1419.

والعجيب حقًا أن اليوم الوطني للمملكة العربية السعودية قد

انتقل من تاريخٍ هجري منصوصٍ عليه إلى عطلة رسمية تقترن بالتقويم الميلادي. وإنما أريد في هذا المقال أن أكشف طرفًا من التجربة السعودية المعاصرة في استعمال التقويم الهجري، وأثر يومها الوطني في ثبات التاريخ ودوامه.

أكتب إليكم اليوم عن قصة تحول ذكرى التاريخ الوطني من العام الهجري 1351 إلى الدورة الميلادية الشمسية 1932.

البدء بالهجرة والاقتران بالشمس

أصبح سكان المملكة الحجازية النجدية وملحقاتها على أمرٍ جديد صباح الخميس الحادي والعشرين من جمادى الأولى عام 1351 وخبرٍ في صحيفة أم القرى عن إعلان توحيد البلاد، وتحويلها إلى (المملكة العربية السعودية) وأن جلالة الملك يختار أن يكون (يوم الخميس الواقع في 21 جمادى الأولى سنة 1351 الموافق لليوم الأول من الميزان يومًا لإعلان توحيد هذه المملكة العربية) [2].

ولنا أن نلاحظ في النص أمورًا:

1- تقديم التاريخ الهجري.

2- وتجريد اليوم الشمسي عن تاريخه. فلم يذكر الملك سنة ميلادية أو هجرية شمسية وإنما اكتفى بالدلالة على البرج الشمسي وحده. ولم يذكر شهرًا ميلاديًا.

3- وخلو يوم توحيد البلاد من أي مناسبة خاصة تتكرر بتكراره. فلم يكن عطلة رسمية أو مناسبة للاحتفال أو غير ذلك.

4- واحتساب التاريخ بالرؤية [3] غالبًا إذ إن تقويم أم القرى المقارن لا يدل على التاريخ المذكور. فالحادي والعشرون من جمادى الأولى لعام 1351 إنما وقع يوم الأربعاء في التقويم، ولا يوافق الأول من الميزان بل الثلاثين من السنبلة. فلم يبق إلا أنه رؤية.

لطيفة: اطلعت أثناء إعداد المقال على مقالٍ لقاسم بن خلف الرويس نشره في الاقتصادية يوم السبت 3 محرم 1439 وعنوانه (أيامنا الوطنية .. سيرة وأحداث وتحولات). ومما قاله الرويس: (إن عيد الجلوس الملكي هو اليوم الوطني الأول الذي تم اختياره والاحتفال به في بلادنا، ولكن هذا الاحتفال لم يتم إلا بعد مرور أربع سنوات من اعتلاء الملك عبدالعزيز عرش الحجاز) اهـ [4]، وقد نقل نص الأمر بشأن مراسيم عيد الجلوس الملكي في غرة جمادى الآخرة من عام 1364 وجاء في مادته الأولى: (يعتبر اليوم الذي يوافق اليوم السابع عشر من برج الجدي من كل سنة عيدا وطنيا تعيده البلاد لإحياء ذكرى “الجلوس الملكي”) وفي الثالثة: (يصادف العيد الأول لعامنا الحالي في اليوم الثامن من شعبان سنة 1348هـ) اهـ. ولضيق وقتي عن تتبع مواد المقال، والنظر فيه بتفصيل، فإنني أحيل عليه، وأنوه بصنيع الدكتورة منيرة بنت قفل الشمري بالإحالة عليه، في بحثها المذكور في الهامش الأول.

احتفال هجري في حياة المؤسس: خمسون عامًا قمريًا

شهد الملك المؤسس استقرار ملكه، وتداعي الدنيا إلى تهنئته بمرور 50 عامًا قمريًا على استرداده الرياض. وقد كان الاحتفال بمرور 50 عامًا عرفًا عالميًا سائدًا كما ذكرت الدكتورة منيرة بنت قفل الشمري في بحثٍ عنوانه: (احتفال ذكرى مرور خمسين عاما على استعادة الملك عبدالعزيز الرياض 1369هـ/ 1950م).

لكن الاحتفال بذكرى خمسين عامًا قمريًا نادرٌ جدًا بعد زوال الدولة العثمانية التي كانت تستعمل التقويم الهجري، والتحول الذي جرى على الدولة المصرية بعد عام 1292، وغلبة الاستعمار في الأقطار العربية والإسلامية [5].

ولم يخف على أحدٍ من الغربيين أنها كانت 50 عامًا قمريًا لا شمسيًا. وبالغ صاحب كتاب الذكرى العربية الذهبية في تدبر موافقات السنين القمرية من مولد الملك عبدالعزيز 1297، واسترداده للرياض 1319، واليوبيل الذهبي 1369 حتى استخرج سنة اليوبيل الذهبي القمرية 1369 من قول بعضهم: (الإمام عبدالعزيز بن عبدالرحمن بن سعود ملك العرب) [6].

ولم يفت [Elie Podeh] مؤلف كتاب [The Politics of National Celebrations in the Arab Middle East] عام 1432 أن يؤكد قمرية الذكرى المئوية وقد جاءت بعد اليوبيل الذهبي بخمسين عامًا وإن كان الاحتفال مخترعًا غربيًا كما قال.

صورة من الكتاب التقطتها يوم الخميس 13 ربيع الآخر 1448.

ولعل الملك المؤسس أراد أن يحتفل بأكثر من ذلك فامتنع بعد فتيا العلماء [7].

وقد أشار الشيخ عبدالرحمن بن ناصر البراك إلى ذلك في إحدى فتاويه. والشيخ من المعاصرين القلائل الذين أدركوا الدولة في عهود ملوكها السبعة. وقد سئل عن الإلزام باليوم الوطني فقال عما يلزم المتحدث في ذلك اليوم: (ويذكر في حديثه عن الملك عبدالعزيز إنكار العلماء للاحتفال بمرور خمسين سنة من دخوله الرياض وأنه -رحمه الله- استجاب لرأي العلماء وأوقف الاحتفال بتلك المناسبة. عبدالرحمن بن ناصر البراك 10 ذو القعدة 1434هـ) اهـ [8].

اتخاذ يوم شمسي للوطن: 24 ربيع الآخر 1385

قرر مجلس الوزراء اتخاذ يومٍ شمسيٍ للوطن، وجاء في قراره رقم 294 بتاريخ 22 ربيع الآخر 1385: (أنه لا بد من تعيين يوم للمملكة العربية السعودية) وأنه (قد رئي أن يكون يوم المملكة هو اليوم الأول من الميزان مطلع السنة الهجرية الشمسية الموافق 23 سبتمبر من السنة الميلادية وهو اليوم الذي أعلن فيه المغفور له جلالة الملك عبدالعزيز توحيده هذه المملكة تحت اسم المملكة العربية السعوديه بموجب المرسوم الملكي رقم 2716 وتاريخ 17 جمادى الأول عام 1351هـ (18 سبتمبر عام 1932 ميلاديه) انتهى بنصه [9]. وعلى هذا القرار صدر المرسوم الملكي رقم م/9 بتاريخ 24 ربيع الآخر 1385 وفيه: (يكون اليوم الأول من الميزان مطلع السنة الهجرية الشمسية الموافق 23 سبتمبر من السنة الميلادية هو اليوم الوطني للمملكة العربية السعودية) اهـ وجاء فيه أيضًا: (نظرًا لضرورة جعل يوم وطني محدد للمملكة العربية السعودية) اهـ [10].

ولنا أن نسأل سؤالات أربعة بالنظر في النص:

الأول: لماذا أزيح التاريخ الهجري لليوم الوطني رغم وروده في النص الأول؟

الثاني: لماذا ذكر الشهر الميلادي سبتمبر وكذا السنة الميلادية 1932 رغم عدم ورودهما في النص؟

الثالث: لماذا لم يذكر تاريخ السنة الهجرية الشمسية التي بدأت في ذلك اليوم وهي سنة 1311؟

الرابع: ما الضرورة التي دعت إلى جعل يومٍ وطني محدد؟

وأدع الجواب للقارئ.

لطيفة: وقفت بالبحث في كتب جوجل على وثيقة فيها أن الملك فيصل تلقى التهاني بمناسبة اليوم الوطني في ذلك العام 1385. والوثيقة من كتاب [Daily Report Foreign Radio Broadcast] وفيه ترجمة لما ورد في (Mecca Domestic Service) من أن الملك فيصل قد تلقى تهنئة باليوم الوطني من الاتحاد السوفيتي [يوافق بالتاريخ الهجري لذلك اليوم الجمعة 28 جمادى الأولى 1385] ومصر. [والتاريخ الهجري السبت 29 جمادى الأولى 1385] [11]. وانظر ملحق أ.

استنكار المفتي محمد بن إبراهيم 1385

أكان غريبًا أن يستنكر المفتي الأول للمملكة اتخاذ يوم شمسي لذكرى تأسيس الوطن وهو الذي استنكر امتلاء مفكرة رابطة العالم الإسلامي بالمناسبات الهجرية التي تزيد عن العيدين [12]، وهو الذي أنكر أيضًا سعي حكومة باكستان للاحتفال بيومٍ لنزول القرآن وقد استفتوه في تعيين يومه الهجري [13].

لسنا في معرِض بيان الحكم الشرعي لليوم الوطني فذاك شأن العلماء وأهل الفتوى، وإنما ننقل من فتاويهم ما نسترشد به في تاريخ اليوم الوطني وأثره في التاريخ الهجري.

والمقصود أن المفتي الأول نقل عنه إنكار اليوم الوطني لعدة اعتبارات منها العدول عن السنة القمرية وهذا نصه: (أن في ذلك من التعريج على السنة الشمسية وإيثارها على السنة القمرية التي أولها المحرم ما لا يخفى ولو ساغ ذلك -وليس بسائغ البتة- لكان أول يوم من السنة القمرية أولى بذلك، وهذا عدول عما عليه العرب في جاهليتها وإسلامها ولا يخفى أن المعتبر في الشريعة المحمدية بالنسبة إلى عباداتها وأحكامها المفتقرة إلى عدد وأحساب من عبادات وغيرها هي الأشهر القمرية) إلى آخر ما قاله [14].

وقد قال جامع الفتاوى والرسائل محمد بن عبدالرحمن بن قاسم في حاشية آخر صفحة من الفتوى: (هذه الفتوى وجدتها بيد بعض طلاب العلم وهي مما أملاه علي في مكتبته الخاصة) اهـ.

هذا وقد بعث المفتي في آخر حياته إلى وزارة الإعلام لتجمع بين التوقيتين الغروبي والزوالي بدلًا من إزالة الغروبي [15] [16].

الذكرى شمسية هجرية أم ميلادية

لم أتوسع في البحث عن شواهد ذكرى اليوم الوطني بعد عام 1385، لكنني أنقل ما وقفت عليه منها في المصادر المتاحة.

وقفت على تغريدة لسهام العتيبي [ليلة الاثنين 3 ربيع الآخر 1448] وفيها صورة من غلاف صحيفة البلاد في ذكرى اليوم الوطني عام 1397 [17].

صورة حملتها من تغريدة سهام العتيبي ليلة الاثنين 3 ربيع الآخر، والحقوق محفوظة لها.

لاحظ أن ذكرى الميزان واقعة في عام ميلادي 1977 لا هجريٍ شمسي.

كتب عمران العمران مقالًا في تلك الذكرى بعد 11 عامًا في 30 محرم 1408 ولم يشر فيه إلى الميزان أو سبتمبر أيلول، نعم لم يكتب مقاله في 21 جمادى الأولى لكنه أرخ المقال هجريًا [18].

شاهدان لا يكفيان لكنهما منطلقٌ لبحث أوسع إن شاء الله.

لا نستطيع الجزم بسريان التقويم الهجري الشمسي من اليوم الوطني إلى السنة المالية، لكننا لا نستطيع دفع الاقتران الظاهر بينهما. انظر ملحق ب.

لم يزل التاريخ الهجري الشمسي يذكر في تقويم أم القرى، لكنني لم أجد له ذكرًا في كثيرٍ من الوثائق، بل إنه غير مذكورٍ في صحيفة أم القرى الجريدة الرسمية للدولة. ولعله اتخذ ليتوسط التقويم الميلادي ويؤدي إليه. ولنا أن نستأنس بما قاله الشيخ عبدالرحمن بن ناصر البراك في إحدى فتاويه وقد عاصر -كما قدمنا- الدولة في مراحلها جميعًا. والفتوى غير منشورة في موقعه الرسمي.

وهذا بعض نصها: (ويلاحظ هنا التدرج في إشاعة وإبراز التأريخ الميلادي، فقد كان التأريخ الميلادي لا يذكر إلا أحياناً لبيان الموافقة بينه وبين التأريخ الهجري لحاجة بعض الناس إلى ذلك في معاملاتهم مع البلاد الأخرى، أو القادمين من تلك البلاد، ولذا أثبت في تقويم أم القرى، وكانت الشركات الأجنبية تضطر إلى ذكر التأريخ الهجري مراعـاة لعرف البلد (المملكة العربية السعودية)، لذا تذكر التأريخين الهجري والميلادي، ثم آل الأمر إلى أن تتجاهل هذه الشركات التأريخ الهجري ولا تراعي العرف السائد عند أكثر الناس، وتبعها كثير من الشركات المحلية.

ومن ذلك أن ميزانية الدولة كانت تعتبر بالسنة القمرية والتأريخ الهجري ابتداءً من غرة رجب من كل عام هجري، ثم تغيرت الحال فصارت الميزانية تعتبر بالسنة الشمسية والتأريخ الميلادي ابتداءً من واحد يناير من كل عام ميلادي [19]، ومن أجل عدم مفاجأة الناس بهذا التحول قيل إن ابتداء سنة الميزانية من عشرة من برج الجدي الموافق واحد يناير من كل سنة ميلادي) اهـ.

وفيها أيضًا: (رابعاً : وأما استخدام التأريخ الهجري الشمسي فهو ملفق من التأريخ الهجري والتأريخ الميلادي النصراني أو التأريخ المجوسي الفارسي، ولا شك أن هذا مخالف للمنهج الذي سارت عليه الأمة الإسلامية باعتماد السنة القمرية.

خامساً : لا يجوز صرف المرتبات بالأشهر الشمسية إلا إذا كانت العقود مكتوبة على أساس الأشهر الشمسية، ولا ينبغي ذلك إلا مع من لا يعرف إلا الأشهر الميلادية الشمسية، أما إذا كانت مكتوبة على أساس الأشهر القمرية، فإن صرف المرتبات بالأشهر الشمسية ظلم للموظفين والعاملين للفارق بين السنة الشمسية والقمرية وهو أحد عشر يوماً) اهـ [20].

وتاريخ الفتوى كما هو مثبت في آخر متنها: (15/10/1429) أي منتصف شوال عام 1429، 8 أعوامٍ قبل إجراء رواتب موظفي الدولة على الأبراج الشمسية موافقةً للسنة المالية للدولة [21]. وللحديث موضع آخر.

أثر التقويم الهجري القمري في اليوم الوطني 1412

حَفِل عهد الملك فهد بالإصلاحات والتنظيمات الإدارية، وقد صدر النظام الأساسي للحكم في السابع والعشرين من شعبان عام 1412، وجاء في مادته الثانية (عيدا الدولة هما عيدا الفطر والأضحى، وتقويمها هو التقويم الهجري) اهـ.

ولننقل نقلًا وشاهدين يدلان على دلالة هذه المادة في انحصار العطل الرسمية في المملكة العربية السعودية، وعلاقة ذلك بالتقويم الهجري. وأكتفي بنقلٍ وشاهدين.

وقفت بالبحث في كتب جوجل على كتاب [السلطة التنظيمية في المملكة العربية السعودية] ط1 1425 وقصد فيه إلى (الوصف التفصيلي والدقيق للتطبيق العملي لممارسة السلطة التنظيمية وفقًا للأحكام والقواعد المقررة) كذا قال في الصفحة السابعة.

فلننظر فيما قاله في (ف198) [22] من الفرع الثاني (دين الدولة) في الشواهد المؤكدة لالتزام الدولة الدين الإسلامي.

قال المؤلف: (23- اعتماد التقويم الهجري ويمثل التمسك به تميزاً تنفرد به المملكة العربية السعودية ويظهرها بالمظهر الإسلامي الخالص وهو تأكيد لما سلكته الدولة دوماً في اعتماد التاريخ الهجري في ترتيب الآثار النظامية ومنها:

أ- تحديد السن المشترطة لاكتساب المراكز القانونية كسن التعيين في الوظائف العامة، وسن الترخيص بمزاولة كثير من الأعمال كقيادة السيارات وغير ذلك.

ب- احتساب الإجازات والعطل والأعياد.

ج- التقاويم الدراسية.

د- سن الإحالة على التقاعد.

24- اقتصار الدولة في أعيادها على العيدين (الفطر والأضحى) وهذا يمثل مظهراً من مظاهر هوية الدولة الإسلامية فلا تعطل الأعمال الرسمية ولا الدراسة إلا في الأيام المقررة نظاماً بمناسبة هذين العيدين.

كما تمنع جميع الشركات والمؤسسات من تعطيل أعمالها إلا في هاتين المناسبتين، ويحدد نظام العمل الأيام اللازمة لذلك) اهـ بطوله.

وكتب حاشية على قوله (هذين العيدين) فقال: (وما يحدث أحياناً من توقف الأعمال الرسمية بمناسبة ما فإنه لا يعد ذلك عيداً، لأنه بمناسبة حادثة ليس لها صفة الدورية والتكرار والاستمرار.

وكذلك فإنه حتى في اليوم الوطني لتوحيد المملكة فإنه لا يعتبر عيداً ولا تتوقف فيه الأعمال وإن كان جرى العرف الدبلوماسي الدولي على تبادل التهاني بهذه المناسبة) اهـ.

قلت: كتبت قبل الاطلاع على هذا النص أن الاحتفال الهجري المئوي باسترداد الرياض عام 1419 [وقد وقع الاسترداد عام 1319] احتفال عابر لم يتكرر قبل ذلك [إلا في عام 1369] أو بعده. فلم يقع احتفالٌ فيما نعلم في عام 1404 بمناسبة 75 عامًا، أو 1444 بمناسبة 125 عامًا. ولا ندري أيحتفل به في عام 1469 بمناسبة 150 عامًا.

بقيت آثار المئوية من بعدها شاهدة لمن لم يدركها، وقد رأيت بعضها في المدرسة الابتدائية قبل ربع قرن.

الشاهد الأول: قصاصة من مجلة [Business America] [23]، وقد وقفت عليها بالبحث في كتب جوجل (Google Books). ويتبين بالنظر إليها قلة العطل الرسمية في المملكة العربية السعودية ولم أجد أقل منها في تلك القائمة المنشورة عام 1410. فهي أقل دول العالم عطلًا رسمية في ذلك العام. وإن لم تكن كثرة العطل أو قلتها معيارًا للمدح أو الذم.

صورتان التقطتهما لغلاف العددين 24 و25 مجلة Business America وقد صدرا يومي الخميس 21 جمادى الآخرة و6 رجب عام 1410 بحسب تقويم أم القرى. وتمنيت أن أجد تقويمًا هجريًا لذلك العام مستعملًا في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية لأستغني عن القياس إلى تقويم أم القرى.

الشاهد الثاني: مقال بالإنجليزية منشور في مجلة المبتعث [مجلة طلابية علمية ثقافية شهرية] العدد 155 الصادر في ذكرى اليوم الوطني في ربيع الآخر 1415 [أليس اتفاقًا عجيبًا! فقد وقع اليوم الوطني في ربيع الآخر العام الماضي 1447]. وفي المقال أن اليوم الوطني ليس عيدًا أو عطلة خلافًا للعيدين [الفطر والأضحى] بل مناسبة لإحياء ذكرى التوحيد.

صورة التقطتها من المقال وعثرت عليها بالبحث في كتب جوجل، ولذلك أبقيت علامات البحث. مجلة المبتعث العدد 155 ربيع الآخر 1415.

اليوم الوطني إجازة رسمية 1425

أضيفت ذكرى اليوم الوطني إلى تقويم الدولة وإجازاتها الرسمية في رمضان عام 1425 ونص على اتخاذه إجازة رسمية. ملحق أ.

ولم يكن الناس سواءً في الاحتفال بالأعياد والهناء بالإجازات والعطل. وقد اقتنيت مؤخرًا مفكرة الرياض لعام 1427 وقد اجتهد صاحبها في ذكر المعارض والمناسبات لعام 1427، ولم يذكر إجازة اليوم الوطني رغم إقراره قبل عامين.

اليوم الوطني سنين هجرية قمرية أم ميلادية شمسية؟

لا ريب أن ذكرى اليوم الوطني قد انتقلت من هاء جمادى الأولى 1351 إلى ميزان 1311 الهجري الشمسي وسبتمبر أيلول 1932 الميلادي. أفيكون حساب سنينها هجريًا قمريًا أم ميلاديًا شمسيًا؟

نقتبس السؤال من عنوان مقال الأستاذ الدكتور عبدالله المسند (اليوم الوطني السعودي حسابات قمرية أم شمسية؟) وقد نشر بمدونته في السابع والعشرين من ذي القعدة عام 1435 [25].

وقال: (اليوم الوطني هذا العام (2016) وفقاً لحساب السنة الشمسية رقمه 84، إذ إن حساب اليوم الوطني لتوحيد المملكة يعتمد على السنة الشمسية (365 يوماً) وليس على السنة القمرية (354 يوماً) ـ كما نص بذلك المرسوم السابق ـ والدليل أن عام 1371هـ وعام 1405هـ دخلا وخرجا دون يوم وطني!! فيكون عدد الأيام الوطنية منذ التوحيد 1932م حتى 2016م 84 يوماً فقط في التاريخ الشمسي، ويكون 84 يوماً أيضاً في التاريخ القمري باعتبار أن عامي 1371هـ و 1405هـ بدون يوم وطني، وعليه ما يقال ويُنشر في الإعلام أن السعودية مرت بـ 86 يوماً وطنياً فإن الرقم والعدد والحساب غير صحيح) اهـ.

قلت: وجدت في مقدمة العدد 155 من مجلة المبتعث أنهم صدروه بقولهم (بمناسبة الذكرى الـ64 ليومنا الوطني). وكان ذلك في عام 1415، أي بعد 64 عامًا قمريًا من عام التوحيد 1351.

وقد وقفت أثناء إعداد المقال على استدراك على حساب الذكرى الوطني في مقال (تاريخ اليوم الوطني السعودي بين اللبس والتصحيح) لبندر بن عبدالرحمن بن معمر. وهو منشور في صحيفة الشرق الأوسط يوم الاثنين 21 ربيع الأول 1446. وأظنني اهتديت إليه عن طريق ويكيبيديا.

ومما قاله: (منذ سنوات وهناك تساؤل حول صحة عدد أعوام اليوم الوطني السعودي المُعلَنة، فهذا العام مثلاً يصادف الذكرى الرابعة والتسعين، والبعض يسأل كيف يكون ذلك وأول يوم وطني (إعلان توحيد البلاد) كان عام 1932م؟ وبالتالي يُفترض أن يصادف هذا العام الذكرى الثانية والتسعين، وليس الرابعة والتسعين؟ أي أن هناك خطأً في الحساب، وهناك من يحاول أن يبرِّر ذلك بأن الحساب يكون بالتاريخ الهجري، وهذا خطأ آخر، وسأجيب عن ذلك بالتفصيل، لكن قبل الإجابة لا بد أن أؤكد أن هذا التساؤل مبرَّر ومفهوم، لكن غير المفهوم هو ما تنشره منصات إعلامية ويتردَّد في أخبارها ومقالات كُتّابها بمثل هذا النص: «في مثل هذا اليوم، قبل 94 عاماً، أعلن الملك عبد العزيز توحيد البلاد لتكون المملكة العربية السعودية»، فهنا يكون لدينا جهل بالحساب والتاريخ معاً!) اهـ. وقد رجح الكاتب أن الحساب إنما يصح باعتبار الذكرى الميلادية للجلوس الملكي وقد تقدم تاريخها [26].

مناسبات أخرى بلا تاريخ هجري

لا ينبغي أن نغفل نظائر اليوم الوطني التي جاءت بعد ذلك، يوم التأسيس ويوم العلم. وهي أيام يحتفل بها شمسيًا ميلاديًا ولا يكاد تذكر هجريًا.

الخاتمة:

يظهر بالبحث والتأمل أهمية دراسة أثر الأيام الوطنية في استعمال التقويم الهجري وبقائه رسميًا. ومثال ذلك مزاحمة التقويم الميلادي للتقويم الهجري في المملكة العربية السعودية لما اقترنت به ذكرى توحيد البلاد، وكذلك السنة المالية التي أقر مبدؤها الشمسي عقب ذلك اليوم.

Do you ever stop and think about our existence? Our choices? I'm not referring to religious beliefs that give us excuses or ideas to follow. I'm not even really talking about the leaders and extremely wealthy who use our existence as toilet paper for their own shitty ego issues. I'm talking about us. Every single greedy one of us.

We are... vicious. We are cruel. We devour without mercy and with very little challenge to ourselves. Even those we'd consider kind. Why? Is it our nature, or has language and story convinced us it is our right? When, exactly, did we learn to weaponize survival and delude ourselves into believing it self-care?

War for greed. Famine for greed. Ignorance for greed. Atrocity after atrocity after atrocity. Never need. Never humble. Never selflessly. It's always to feed some monstrosity via debting an innocent party.

Over a third of human population lives in what is considered inhumane, unsafe, or inadequate housing conditions. That's around 3.4 billion people as cited by UN-Habitat. Whereas Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has 24-36 ultra-luxury personal mansions and estates. That's just one of the many persons and corporations whose very existence mocks the idea of all life deserving safe dwelling. Mind you, the person who owns the most land would be King Charles III or rather the British crown with 6.6 billion acres of land. Yes. Billion with a B as in “What a pile of BULLSHIT!” (Sources: The Los Angeles Times and the technical Crown title across Commonwealth lands. This is a private journal grumbling, not a literary piece. Go do your own homework instead of taking my word for it.)

We look down upon our poor and struggling kinsmen while applauding those who gluttonously succeed. We deprive families who risk their lives to migrate to safety and work their ass off for pennies while throwing millions upon millions at individuals in entertainment. We propagate the myth that working hard guarantees “success”, and we rain judgment down on every single person crushed under the weight of an extraordinarily ignorant society.

Then in my country we dare to call ourselves “free” and “brave”.

Were that true, what monstrous creatures we contort ourselves into in order to claim such unaptly defined titles. We don't even see it because we're kept so dumb. It's not just us. It's everywhere. We've just fooled ourselves into believing we're above the defilement, when in reality we are as covered in muck as everyone else. But like many a mind that needs to see itself in a noble light, we wrap our greed in pretty packaging and name it “necessity” so that we don't have to look in the mirror and recognize our truth.

Looking in the mirror sucks. When you look in the mirror, you either have to accept your inadequacies or you have to change. That kind of change is made damn near impossible in today's society because of the monumental mountain climb it takes to stick to it requires an extraordinary amount of will. It's much easier to make excuses and poke our own damn eyes out.

3.4 billion people. I've said nothing of the rest of life. Looking at what we knowingly do to the oceans, land, air, and all life in-between... ignorance is truly bliss. Ignorance is truly, truly bliss. At least we have all learned how to make excuses and point fingers.

And just a final thought because these are the kind of things that I research and doodle with in the middle of the night. Ask your friendly AI unit how much it would cost the US annually if it created a goal to establish a minimum decent physical standard for humane living and infrastructure worldwide. Think of it not as “world aid” but instead as a “global basic infrastructure fund”. Now add other countries' contributions to the mix. Then look at how much we spend on war and nonsense like flying felons to golf courses. Now add the money millionaires and billionaires have contributed for political gain. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

We could have a gorgeous planet where life thrives abundantly, sickness and starvation are the exception, and war is not something we use to kill and steal from each other. We simply choose not to. How fortunate that we've adopted belief systems to forgive us of our own cruelty.

Salesforce doesn't know how many Tableau Next deployments you've architected. It doesn't know that you've untangled a semantic model relationship that was silently breaking Analytics Agent responses or debugged a Data 360 identity resolution conflict that would stump most people who wrote the Salesforce Certified Tableau Next Consultant (Analytics-Con-202) exam questions. Salesforce can't assess judgment, experience, or whether you're actually good at this. It can only measure whether you can answer Analytics-Con-202 exam questions. So that's what you should practice.

What Isn't Scored on the Salesforce Analytics-Con-202 Exam

The Salesforce Analytics-Con-202 exam scores a narrow set of things and ignores everything else. Here's what falls outside the rubric.

Judgment. Real consultant judgment is situational. It develops from consequences; from having designed a semantic model that produced misleading metrics for an executive dashboard, from having to rework a workspace sharing model under a deployment deadline. An Analytics-Con-202 scenario question can gesture at judgment, but it can only test whether you'd pick the answer Salesforce prefers, which is a different thing.

Experience. Years of configuring Tableau Next, the Data 360 implementations you've delivered, the Agentic Analytics experiences you've shipped to production. None of it reaches the score. A candidate with three years of hands-on Tableau and Data 360 work and a candidate with six months of study look identical to the scoring software.

Depth. The exam samples. Sixty scored questions across six domains: Agentic Experiences, Data Setup, Embedding and Cross-Cloud Interoperability, Visualizations and Dashboards, Basic Setup and Administration, and Managing Workspaces and Orgs; and your score reflects that sample, not the full extent of what you know. You could understand semantic model relationships deeply and still miss the two questions that happened to represent it.

Whether you're good at the job. This is the biggest one. Salesforce Certified Tableau Next Consultant certification doesn't measure competence. It measures whether you can pass the Analytics-Con-202 exam, which is a related but distinct capability, and plenty of excellent analytics consultants have failed it.

The Narrow Thing the Tableau Next Consultant Exam Actually Measures

Strip away everything the Salesforce Analytics-Con-202 exam can't see, and you're left with the one thing it can. Whether you can answer the Tableau Next Consultant exam questions, in their phrasing, at their pace, under time pressure, choosing the answer they consider correct. That's it. That's the whole measurement. Nothing about your career, your judgment, or your ability to deploy a Tableau Next workspace enters into it. This is not a cynical read. It's just an accurate description of the test. And once you accept it, the preparation problem becomes much simpler: you're not preparing to be a better analytics consultant. You're preparing to perform well on a specific test.

Why Experienced Tableau and Data 360 Consultants Fail This

Here's the failure mode, and it's specific to people who know the material well. They answer the question they'd ask. They pick the option that reflects how they'd actually handle the situation. Which is usually the more thorough, more nuanced, more production-realistic answer. It's also frequently not the answer Salesforce wants, because Analytics-Con-202 exam questions are written to a specific expected response, and that response is often simpler than what an experienced professional would do.

There's a second, subtler failure mode here. This exam isn't the old Tableau Consultant credential. It isn't about Tableau Prep, Desktop, Server, or Bridge. Experienced Tableau practitioners answer based on what they know from that ecosystem — their preferred workbook architecture, the prep flows they've built — rather than what the exam actually covers: Tableau Next, Data 360, Tableau Semantics, and Agentic Analytics. The exam doesn't care what you built in Desktop. It cares what you'd design natively on the platform.

So the depth that makes them good at their job actively works against them on the exam. They overthink, they second-guess the obvious answer, they choose the sophisticated option over the correct one. This is not a knowledge problem. It's a calibration problem. And it's fixed by working through Tableau Next Consultant exam questions, not by more study.

Analytics-Con-202 Exam Questions: Practice the Thing Being Scored

If the exam only measures one narrow capability, then that's the capability worth training. And it's the one almost nobody trains directly. Reading Salesforce's Analytics-Con-202 exam questions' phrasing until it stops feeling foreign. Learning to recognize when two answers are both defensible and only one is theirs. Building the pacing that keeps you from spending four minutes on question nine, then discovering you've lost fifteen minutes by question thirty. None of that is about becoming more knowledgeable about semantic models or Data 360 streams. It's about becoming fluent in the specific format you're being scored on. For that to work, the Tableau Next Consultant practice questions have to match the real thing:

• Written at actual Analytics-Con-202 difficulty and phrasing: easier Tableau Next Consultant exam questions train the wrong instincts
• Full-length and timed (105 minutes, 60 scored questions plus up to 5 unscored): pacing and pressure don't surface otherwise
• Explained on every answer: including why the tempting option was designed to be tempting
• Randomized order: so you learn the material, not the sequence
• Aligned to current Analytics-Con-202 objectives: Salesforce revises the blueprint without notice

Salesforce Analytics-Con-202 exam questions from CertBoosters are based around that single idea. A complete question bank at real exam difficulty, a full timed simulator, untimed mode with explanations, randomized delivery, and updates tied to the current objectives whenever Salesforce changes them. You can get Salesforce Certified Tableau Next Consultant (Analytics-Con-202) exam questions in PDF or practice them on the practice exam software (online and offline) with three months of free updates included.

The Salesforce Tableau Next Consultant Exam Isn't Measuring Your Worth

It's measuring whether you can answer the questions. That's a smaller thing, and it's a thing you can train. What you shouldn't do is keep preparing as though the Analytics-Con-202 can see everything you are. It can't. It can only see how you perform on the day, in the format it controls. So practice the format. Leave the rest of yourself out of it. If you'd rather find out where you stand before exam day than after, the Analytics-Con-202 questions are available on the CertBoosters website.

The intensity of the construction outside my studio isn’t a consistent predictably timed thing and I’m wondering how that has been affecting my sleep. I’m usually a heavy sleeper, but with the inconsistency of my schedule, I wonder how the external noise and energies are affecting it too. The best and deepest sleep I had was during a meditation retreat. I slept in a tiny and plain room with white walls on either side. There were no decorations other than the flimsy curtain that acted as our “door” and entrance to our individual rooms/pods. We were also meant to be in bed by 9:00pm. I felt very well-rested, but I also remembered my dreams so clearly.

Anyway, here we are on a weekday—it’s a Thursday afternoon and you would think that the noise would be unbearable, but it’s milder and more quiet than last Saturday. Shouldn’t they be doing the heaviest type of work during the week days when people are likely in their office and not at home on a Saturday? The noise reached a peak last week. Noise pollution aside—what are we doing to ourselves? To the planet we were meant to steward? What are we becoming? It’s no wonder all this alien contact is bubbling up—even the beings within or beyond our solar system, are concerned about our choices and going beyond our language to try and talk to us.

I’m writing (i.e. obsessing) about the noise because it’s my current reality. I hear a buzzing above me from within the building and some hammering from the building being constructed across my studio. I have to always keep my blinds shut, because the windows aren’t tinted and I have found myself eye-to-eye with construction workers. I tend to offer a polite smile and move on, but if I kept them drawn so the light can get in, it will not encourage a sense of safety or privacy during the day, especially since my bed is right beside the floor-to ceiling windows.

I’ve been meaning to take shelter at the nearest public library, but I haven’t figured out a schedule for that yet. I feel like I’m being expelled from my place of refuge. Rent is exorbitant enough as it is, and we still have to deal with this question of how much or how little to stay in our homes.

Salesforce doesn't know that you've untangled a role hierarchy that was silently granting access to the wrong records or debugged an Apex sharing recalculation that would stump most people who wrote the Salesforce Certified Platform Sharing and Visibility Architect (Plat-Arch-205) exam questions. Salesforce can't assess judgment, experience, or whether you're actually good at this. It can only measure whether you can answer Plat-Arch-205 exam questions. So that's what you should practice.

What Isn't Scored on the Salesforce Plat-Arch-205 Exam

The Salesforce Plat-Arch-205 exam scores a narrow set of things and ignores everything else. Here's what falls outside the rubric.

Judgment. Real architect judgment is situational. It develops from consequences; from having designed an OWD that locked out a sales team during quarter close, from having to rework a sharing architecture under a compliance deadline. A Plat-Arch-205 scenario question can gesture at judgment, but it can only test whether you'd pick the answer Salesforce prefers, which is a different thing.

Experience. Years of designing sharing models, the orgs you've audited, the permission set strategies you've rolled out. None of it reaches the score. A candidate with five years of hands-on Salesforce security work and a candidate with six months of study look identical to the scoring software.

Depth. The exam samples. Sixty scored questions across four domains: Permissions to Standard Objects, Custom Objects, and Fields (27%), Access to Records (39%), Access to Other Data (16%), and Implications of Security Model Choice (18%); and your score reflects that sample, not the full extent of what you know. You could understand Apex managed sharing deeply and still miss the two questions that happened to represent it.

Whether you're good at the job. This is the biggest one. Salesforce Certified Platform Sharing and Visibility Architect certification doesn't measure competence.

That's the whole measurement. Nothing about your career, your judgment, or your ability to design a scalable sharing model enters into it. This is not a cynical read. It's just an accurate description of the test. And once you accept it, the preparation problem becomes much simpler: you're not preparing to be a better architect. You're preparing to perform well on a specific test.

There's a second, subtler failure mode here. Experienced architects answer based on the org they know such as their current sharing model, the permission set groups their team already uses, rather than what the exam's scenario actually requires. The exam doesn't care what works in your org. It cares what you'd design to satisfy the stated requirements while accounting for scalability, license limits, and the security implications of each choice.

So the depth that makes them good at their job actively works against them on the exam. They overthink, they second-guess the obvious answer, they choose the sophisticated option over the correct one. This is not a knowledge problem. It's a calibration problem.

JOURNAL 24 septembre 2026

Ce matin j’ai revu mes psys, ils sont formidables, très impliqués . Ils m'ont assurée que je n’ai pas à avoir peur de ma colère, elle est légitime et c’est ma façon à moi de réagir et me protéger du malheur avec mes moyens. Oui je suis violente, mais je suis parfaitement capable de maîtriser et orienter cette violence pour la transformer. Ils m'ont conseillée de sortir mon sabre, puisque ça me permet de tenir mon ego à distance et pratiquer ma forme de méditation active en m’oubliant dans les kana. Je suis sortie très calmée déjà. J'ai mangé un énorme yakitori pour faire marcher mes mâchoires puis je suis rentrée et j'ai sorti ma lame de paix, celle offerte par mon frère sortie du trésor familial. Je la dégaine très rarement par respect, mais cette fois c'était l'occasion ou jamais. Puis j'ai pratiqué les kanas jai dansé ma danse pendant deux heures. Je n’ai pas vu le temps passer. J'étais totalement fondue dans la lame et la danse. Je suis sortie parfaitement calmée, l'esprit en paix. Je peux affronter la réalité dans toute son horreur sans frémir ni de rage ni de désespoir. Au moins cette nuit je pourrai dormir.

Nous attendons des nouvelles. On n'a pas retrouvé ce salaud S’il s’est enfoncé profondément dans la forêt on ne le retrouvera peut être jamais. Nous espérons qu’au moins on retrouvera shieko et qu’on pourra lui offrir un lieu de repos décent. La police n'a aucune piste. Ce que nous craignons maintenant, c’est le classement sous la rubrique « disparue » Que faire d'autre sinon prier ? Midori va mieux, elle prend du recul, assez pour accepter le deuil. Asu est auprès d'elle. Elles font de grandes marches apaisantes dans la montagne ma princesse est arrivée. Je vous aime tellement je sais pas comment vous le dire merci

It doesn't know how many multi-org Salesforce landscapes you've architected.

The Salesforce Plat-Arch-202 exam scores a narrow set of things and ignores everything else. Here's what falls outside the rubric.

Judgment. Real architect judgment is situational. It develops from consequences; from having designed a branching strategy that broke a hotfix window, from having to rework a sandbox allocation under a compliance deadline. A Plat-Arch-202 scenario question can gesture at judgment, but it can only test whether you'd pick the answer Salesforce prefers, which is a different thing.

Experience. Years of designing release processes, the org strategies you've implemented, the governance frameworks you've rolled out. None of it reaches the score. A candidate with five years of hands-on Salesforce architecture work and a candidate with six months of study look identical to the scoring software.

Depth. The exam samples. Sixty questions across eight domains: Application Lifecycle Management, Planning, System Design, Building, Deploying, Testing, Releasing, and Operating; and your score reflects that sample, not the full extent of what you know.

This floor-lamp I ordered from Ikea (The KLÖVING) refused to adequately screw onto its damn base.

A quick look online revealed that wobbliness is indeed a common issue among buyers. I could've returned it and exchanged for a less pain-in-the-ass lamp, but who are we kidding? I wouldn't be me unless I attempted an unnecessary roundabout problem-solving idea.

Black aluminum wire to fashion a closed hook atop the lamp, and hook clips to secure a [too long] boxing-bag chain between the lamp and and a brass expansion hook-bolt drilled into the ceiling.

The chain is probably overkill, given that the lamp doesn't really weigh that much. I'll probably replace it with a sturdy enough rope of some kind.

“Hayat anlaşılmaz bir mucizedir, boyuna harcanır, erir, buna rağmen yine dayanır, sürüp gider. Tıpkı Drina’nın üstündeki köprü gibi.”

“Tabiatın fazla cömert davrandığı kişiler, bazen işte böyle kadere meydan okurlar.”

Ivo Andrić — Drina Köprüsü

İstanbul

Chillin, listening to :Wumpscut: again, thorns: Tonight you sleep in hell 🤘🤘

Speaking of which, one of the greatest songs of all time is Slaid Cleaves ”Breakfast in hell”

It’s about these lumberjacks risking their lives every day, dying for example trying to fix a logjam

They all knew in a second or two  He'd be crushed or frozen or drowned

that’s hard work

That’s hard work

That’s hard work, and for what?

It’s not about the Bugatti — that’s just hot smoke!

It’s not

It’s cause it needs doing.

Talk about work bitch, tell that to the sweatshop workers, chained to the sewing machines.

Or to that guy who fell off his truck, and bloated from internal bleeding still finished his route

He just wished to eat at the buffet with his wife!!

How disconnected from reality, I think, do you have to be to write such a song: work bitch by Britney Spears?

Still love her though, i can hold more than one thought in my head ✌️

Today was honestly a really dark day. I struggled a lot with intrusive thoughts about suicide and several other really morbid things. I honestly kind of just stood here for a pretty solid amount of time. Debating if I should write down an example of one of the thoughts, but I think it’s too morbid and so I will refrain. I am honestly pretty scared however. I haven’t had ideation like this in a long time. There were some lines in the song, beach life and death that resonated a lot however and so I guess I’m going to talk about that.

It should be called anti-depression

As a friend of mine suggested

Because it's not the sadness that hurts you

It's the brain's reaction against it

I don’t think this is necessarily groundbreaking in an obvious sense, but I feel like it did capture something that is kind of hard to explain. Depression for me a lot of the times isn’t necessarily the sadness. I think that is something that everyone understands and goes through to some extent, but rather it is the persistent lack of joy. Anything good goes so incredibly quickly from my brain, and the bad is just a persistent drum beat. The second everything goes away I start to hear it again. But it’s not even the sadness, it’s the fear of depression itself. Me feeling sad doesn’t make me want to kill myself, I want to kill myself to get away from the sadness. It’s this terrifying thought of things never getting better, and I know I’m depressed right now because I can’t even fucking fathom what it’s like to not be in this pit. It has been like this for days, and I cannot remember a life before it and I cannot picture a life after this. Even though I know that both of those things are false. I just don’t want to exist and I want to get away from all of it and I want to stop and my life is so incredibly good in so many different ways, and I think those are parts of the reasons why I am not actively suicidal. But even in absence of any meaningful problem, I am so incredibly miserable, and I want to die.

I am learning to bypass the bereavement of a daily information bomb. I still strive to keep myself informed, and I sidestep the ritual damage control that gets flung in our direction. But I've also taught myself to trim away the headlines, and only linger in audience of the corrupted stage long enough to see through the illusion dealt — for chugging it down does little good.

This morning, I wake embraced within life's deep midnight hold, and I gaze out at the world we continue to deform. I listen to the roaring grind of our existence drown out nature's serenade, and I peer blindly up towards the heavens, ignorant to the point of such a doomed existence. Not because we die. I do not view the cycle in that manner, but because of how we enforce death in order to keep ourselves from living.

Salesforce doesn't know how many Financial Services Cloud implementations you've delivered. It doesn't know that you've untangled a household rollup configuration or debugged an Actionable Relationship Center hierarchy that would stump most people who wrote the Salesforce Accredited Agentforce Financial Services Professional (AP-208) exam questions. Salesforce can't assess judgment, experience, or whether you're actually good at this. It can only measure whether you can answer AP-208 exam questions. So that's what you should practice.

What Isn't Scored on the Salesforce AP-208 Exam

The Salesforce AP-208 exam scores a narrow set of things and ignores everything else. Here's what falls outside the rubric.

Judgment. Real consulting judgment is situational. It develops from consequences; from having designed a sharing model that broke a banker's access to client records, from having to rework a data migration under a go-live deadline. An AP-208 scenario question can gesture at judgment, but it can only test whether you'd pick the answer Salesforce prefers, which is a different thing.

Experience. Years of configuring households, the financial account models you've built, the integrations you've mapped between FSC and core banking systems. None of it reaches the score. A candidate with three years of hands-on FSC implementation work and a candidate with six months of study look identical to the scoring software.

Depth. The exam samples. Fifty-five questions across three domains: Discovery, Define/Design, and Delivery; and your score reflects that sample, not the full extent of what you know. You could understand Rollup By Lookup rules deeply and still miss the two questions that happened to represent them.

Whether you're good at the job. This is the biggest one. Salesforce Accredited Agentforce Financial Services Professional certification doesn't measure competence. It measures whether you can pass the AP-208 exam, which is a related but distinct capability, and plenty of excellent FSC consultants have failed it.

The Narrow Thing Agentforce Financial Services Exam Actually Measures

Strip away everything the Salesforce AP-208 exam can't see, and you're left with the one thing it can. Whether you can answer the Agentforce Financial Services exam questions, in their phrasing, at their pace, under time pressure, choosing the answer they consider correct. That's it. That's the whole measurement. Nothing about your career, your judgment, or your ability to implement Financial Services Cloud enters into it. This is not a cynical read. It's just an accurate description of the test. And once you accept it, the preparation problem becomes much simpler: you're not preparing to be a better FSC consultant. You're preparing to perform well on a specific test.

Why Experienced Salesforce AP-208 Candidates Fail This

Here's the failure mode, and it's specific to people who know the material well. They answer the question they'd ask. They pick the option that reflects how they'd actually handle the situation. Which is usually the more thorough, more nuanced, more production-realistic answer. It's also frequently not the answer Salesforce wants, because AP-208 exam questions are written to a specific expected response, and that response is often simpler than what an experienced consultant would do.

So the depth that makes them good at their job actively works against them on the exam. They overthink, they second-guess the obvious answer, they choose the sophisticated option over the correct one. This is not a knowledge problem. It's a calibration problem. And it's fixed by working through Agentforce Financial Services exam questions, not by more study.

Salesforce AP-208 Exam Questions: Practice the Thing Being Scored

If the exam only measures one narrow capability, then that's the capability worth training. And it's the one almost nobody trains directly. Reading Salesforce's AP-208 exam questions' phrasing until it stops feeling foreign. Learning to recognize when two answers are both defensible and only one is theirs. Building the pacing that keeps you from spending three minutes on question nine, then discovering you've lost ten minutes by question thirty. None of that is about becoming more knowledgeable about FSC data models or Action Plans. It's about becoming fluent in the specific format you're being scored on. For that to work, the Agentforce Financial Services practice questions have to match the real thing:

• Written at actual AP-208 difficulty and phrasing: easier Agentforce Financial Services exam questions train the wrong instincts
• Full-length and timed (75 minutes, 55 questions): pacing and pressure don't surface otherwise
• Explained on every answer: including why the tempting option was designed to be tempting
• Randomized order: so you learn the material, not the sequence
• Aligned to current AP-208 objectives: Salesforce revises the blueprint without notice

Salesforce AP-208 exam questions from CertBoosters are based around that single idea. A complete question bank at real exam difficulty, a full timed simulator, untimed mode with explanations, randomized delivery, and updates tied to the current objectives whenever Salesforce changes them. You can get Salesforce Accredited Agentforce Financial Services Professional (AP-208) exam questions in PDF or practice them on the practice exam software (online and offline) with three months of free updates included.

Salesforce Agentforce Financial Services Exam Isn't Measuring Your Worth

It's measuring whether you can answer the questions. That's a smaller thing, and it's a thing you can train. What you shouldn't do is keep preparing as though the AP-208 can see everything you are. It can't. It can only see how you perform on the day, in the format it controls. So practice the format. Leave the rest of yourself out of it. If you'd rather find out where you stand before exam day than after, the AP-208 questions are available on the CertBoosters website.

Salesforce doesn't know how many CRM Analytics apps you've shipped. It doesn't know that you've debugged a recipe that silently broke a dataset refresh, or traced a security predicate conflict that would stump most people who wrote the questions. It doesn't know whether you have good judgment, whether you're careful under pressure, or whether you'd be an asset on an analytics delivery team. Salesforce built a multiple-choice test. That's the entire test. Whatever it can measure is limited by what a multiple-choice test can measure and that's a much narrower thing than “whether you're good at CRM Analytics.”

What Isn't Scored on the Analytics-Con-201 Exam

The exam scores a narrow set of things and ignores everything else. Here's what falls outside the rubric.

Judgment. Real consulting judgment is situational. It develops from consequences from having scoped a dashboard that missed the actual business question, from having to rebuild a dataflow under a deadline. An Analytics-Con-201 scenario question can gesture at judgment, but it can only test whether you'd pick the answer Salesforce prefers, which is a different thing.

Experience. Years of building CRM Analytics apps, the datasets you've optimized, the Einstein Discovery models you've tuned and deployed. None of it reaches the score. A candidate with three years of hands-on CRM Analytics work and a candidate with six months of study look identical to the scoring software.

Depth. The exam samples. Sixty scored questions across six domains: Admin/Configuration (17%), Data Layer (23%), Security (16%), Analytics Dashboard Design (13%), Analytics Dashboard Implementation (19%), and Einstein Discovery (12%). And your score reflects that sample, not the full extent of what you know. You could understand SAQL windowing deeply and still miss the two questions that happened to represent it.

Salesforce doesn't know how many SFRA storefronts you've shipped. It doesn't know that you've debugged ISML rendering issues or traced a cartridge path conflict that would stump most people who wrote the Salesforce Certified B2C Commerce Developer (Comm-Dev-101) exam questions.

The Salesforce Comm-Dev-101 exam scores a narrow set of things and ignores everything else. Here's what falls outside the rubric.

Depth. The exam samples. Sixty scored questions across four domains: B2C Commerce Setup, Work With a B2C Site, Data Management Using Business Manager, and Application Development; and your score reflects that sample, not the full extent of what you know.
