  1. Mr. khalid bin waleed

     

    I think your referring to Sura 5: Al-Maeda in which it is mentioned not once but actually in 3 ayas that rulers should rule with what Allah (SBW) has sent down. The ayas being:

     

    5:44 - Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance and light; with it the prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters) for those who were Jews, and the masters of Divine knowledge and the doctors, because they were required to guard (part) of the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the people and fear Me, and do not take a small price for My communications; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers.

     

    5:45 - And We prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoes it, it shall be an expiation for him; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust.

     

    5:47 - And the followers of the Injeel should have judged by what Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the transgressors.

     

     

    If I'm wrong please correct me.


  2. You know in Sweden, there is this law which states that the time of prosecution for a homicide crime (i.e murder) is limited for just 25 yrs, meaning that if you kill someone today and you manage to keep yourself away from the law long enough (pass the 25 yrs limit) you can publicly tell everyone that you committed a murder, write a detailed book about it if you wish, without facing any legal reprimands at all.

     

    I guess the wise posters of this thread can connect the dots from here and perhaps some posters will even feel that their reflecting some sort of fortification of this ridicilious Swedish law quite precisely, albeit on a different, more monetary, case.

    As for the black gang that executed our boy. Someone should kidnap them and inject Ricin or Cyanide into their veins so they could die slowly and painfully.

    1. Manage your money

    - Women are more intimidated about financial issues than men.

    - Women earn less money than men.

    - Women are less prepared for retirement.

    - Women receive smaller retirement benefits.

    - Women live longer than men.

    - Women are poorer in retirement than men.

    - Women are more conservative investors than men

     

     

    Summary: Women can't manage money. Period. You disagree with this? You think your wife is the next Warren Buffet? Well then Ilaahey ha kuu naxariisto ;)


  5. I find the similarity, regarding the nature of some Islamic Home Mortgages (with their fixed rental payment) which could be structured into tradable mortgage bonds, with their early predecessors in the US (mentioned extensively in the book Liar's Poker) to be striking, although the Islamic mortgage markets Shari'a compliancy or liquidity might still not be sufficient nor widely accepted.

     

    Edit: If Im not mistaken, its not Shari'a compliant to trade mortgages? Anyone knowleadgable on this can take a crack on it.


  6. More on funny things to say at an interview

    .

     

    When asked: What is your weakness?

    A fellow analyst said:

     

    "I always wanted to just say Kryptonite with a dead serious tone. Then just say next question just to see what the interviewer's reaction would be"

     

    Hillarious, I would've tried this if I wasnt black :D
