Isra' Mi'raj- Some Thoughts

Isra' Mi'raj is a very historical day for the Muslims. There are so many things that Muslims do in their daily activity which relates to Isra' Mi'raj. Let's just look at some of the things here. It was the night the Prophet SAW went to Masjid Al-Aqsa and was then ascended to the highest Heaven to meet the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.

Some Thoughts On Hudud

Was about to write something on Hudud and it became so technical. Then I found (of all people) Raja Petra's article on Hudud. Hah! One of the rare moments I agree with his views.http://www.malaysia-today.net/you-cant-debate-hudud/ Let me add. Firstly, you must be able to distinguish between Hudud Laws and implementing Hudud Laws. I said this in my previous post, people must realise the difference between Islam and Muslims.

Think Too Much

I think I think too much. And I think this is the main reason why I didn't quite enjoy private legal practice. You see, in a private legal practice, you are required by your client to absorb their legal liabilities. Clients can be really demanding as well... and stingy. Hehe. But that's besides the point. Coming back to my point of absorbing liabilities. Banks for example, prior to the diabursement of the loan or finance, would require a legal firm to give an undertaking that everything in relation to the loan or finance is in proper order...

Last Day At The Firm

Hello Everybody, How have you been doing lately? Well, my morning started with a quick trip to the dentist. My filling came off and I had to tell the Dentist the 'hole' story. He did a great job.
