، أعلم وأنا أضع هذه السطور أن إعادة بناء المهدوم أقسى وأصعب من بناء الجديد، لأن المهدوم كان حياً يوماً ما، وبالتالي كان تاريخاً موثقاً شئنا أم أبينا، لكني في هذه السطور سأحاول أن*** أسجل في التاريخ*** وللتاريخ عملية إعادة البناء لا معمارياً بل حقوقياً للمعوقين السعوديين والعرب والمسلمين وغيرالمسلمين للعجزة
Would you say this means he wants to make history, to change history, to record history...?

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your suggestion Saleh, however, its not a very common phrase in Engilsh - if you notice, there are only 1030 references given. I guess the main question is since he used the preposition في does he mean he is going to make his mark in history by way of his actions, or is he referring to recording the process of what he is going to do? |
