Well, I was reading a few articles on finance and found how ironic that these people (mainly westerners) who championed free trade and free market (and pure capitalist) are moving towards Islamic banking as an alternative, not because of what it represents but because it serves as a temporary solution until their “mess” have been cleared.
I guess they would revert to conventional banking again once the economy has return to normal. I guess some people will never change.
I was quite taken by a remark made by a learned professor last week - regarding Shariah. Everyone who is anyone is talking and giving opinions about Shariah – but do they really know what they are talking about? A good example is when an NGO talked about the need to revamp the faraid system as it is not fair to the women. Personally, I am a woman and I know for a fact that we mortals cannot change what has been specified in the Holy Quran. Everything that has been put forward to us has its own reason and whatever the reason may be, sometimes things are just beyond our human capability to comprehend and understand – only Allah knows best (wallahualam).
