Islamic finance (Mu'amalat)

As the title above mentioned, I am here to share my views on Islamic finance. I would like to apologies if I write in Malay as I can express things better in my native language. I know that my knowledge in this area is 'peanuts' to even talk about it but I think it's important that I share what I have learned. So if anyone out there who is reading this and know more about this subject, do share your knowledge and may Allah s.w.t guide us. Amin.

I decided to stay back after solat jumaat yesterday to listen to the the extended explanation (tazkirah) of the khutbah, which was about zakat. The ustaz said that in the Quran, most of the time when the command to perform solat is mentioned, the command to pay zakat will follow suit.

To give examples, here are two verses which relates.
[2:43], [4:77]

I believe that out of the many economic views (capitalist,socialist etc.), Islam has the best practices. This is because Islam ENCOURAGES its followers to seek wealth the honest way (halal) and share it with the community (zakat and charity). In Singapore, sadly the Malay community is known for its abundance in 'PhD' holders @ Perasaan Hasrat Dengki (envious,vengeful). Padahal Islam tak pernah ajar penganutnya untuk bersikap sedemikian. What we need here is for out community to support one another. If we see our brothers or sisters in Islam trying to set up a business venture, we should support it.

Purchase the products or services and if we like it, recommend to others and spread the word! But if we feel that somethings can be improved, meet up with the owners and share with them your views so they can improve. Not tell others that this shop is lousy or never to buy at that shop again. This mentality will only make our community decline.

Recently there have been a duo from NUS (National University of Singapore), composing and making songs out of passion and interest. Honestly I'm not really fond of their songs but I still support their efforts with a niat that one day with the whole community behind their back, insyaAllah they will be encouraged to create more interesting songs that can be enjoyed by everybody. Then we can say that our people are not 'backward' or slow. Anyway, what do we have to lose? money? For those of you who are more financially secured, what is $20/$30?

To those who have climbed the ladder and reached high up to the ceiling, NEVER forget to look back and check if anyone behind you needs help. You know the difficulties faced so reach out your hand and lend a hand instead of rocking the ladder and hoarding everything to yourself. Afterall, dari Nya kami datang dan kepadaNya kami dikembalikan.

Wallahu'alam.

Cats! Cats! Cats!!

Hmm..'test water'

It seems clearer to you when you have goals to achieve.

But what happens when stop having new goals?

The reason why my life seems dull and stagnant is because i choose not to disclose what i'm doing and the reason why i choose not to disclose it is because i don't have a convincing reason to disclose it.


On a brighter note, syukur the iftar went well despite 40% of the attendance not 'attending' lol! Insyaallah if there's rezki i might even plan a raya outing =)

I'm itching to get a Super4 through direct selling and there are a couple of nice choices online. Insyaallah I'll get a bike soon and a job to go along with it =)

Almost halfway through ramadan and it's made me realise how unsincere my heart is.

Ya Allah, jauh kan lah aku dari sifat dengki, iri dan sifat-sifat yang hanya boleh membawa kepada kerugian. Ya Rabb, suci kan lah hati ini dan kurniakan keikhlasan dalam melaksanakan amalan-amalan Mu. Amin.

Why am I still searching for something that is already under my nose?

Say what you may but Insyaallah today's iftar will work out.

Note to self. This will be your plans for next month,insyaallah.

1) Cpr course

2) Donate blood

3) Reverse bungy

Quoted from a close friend;

"..we all already have someone which He has matched for us. We just need to continue striving for His love, and when the time's right, He'll bring our match to us."

Masya Allah. Only with knowledge, experience, wisdom and iman can someone come up with something so impactful in just 2 sentences.

May Allah guide us to the right path. Amin.

Don't worry about finding the perfect women; concentrate on being the right man.

Socialise..

Once, someone I cared for told me; "Ridzwan,don't be a stranger =)".

I'm trying my best.

Ya Allah..

Ya Allah, saya memohonkan pilihan menurut pengetahuanMu dan memohonkan penetapan dengan kesuasaanMu juga saya memohonkan kurniaMu yang besar, sebab sesungguhnya Engkaulah yang Maha Mengetahui dan saya tidak mengetahui apa-apa. Engkau Maha Mengetahui segala yang ghaib. Ya Allah, jikalau di dalam ilmuMu bahawa urusan saya ini baik untukku dalam agamaku, kehidupanku serta akibat urusanku, maka takdirkanlah untukku dan mudahkanlah serta berikanlah berkah kepadaku di dalamnya. Sebaliknya jikala di dalam ilmumu bahawa urusan ini buruk untukku, dalam agamaku, kehidupan serta akibat urusanku, maka jauhkanlah hal itu daripadaku dan jauhkanlah aku daripadanya serta takdirkanlah untukku yang baik-baik saja dimana saja adanya, kemudian puaskanlah hatiku dengan takdirMu itu.
