This Religion is a Religion of Mercy
A couple of weeks ago I attended a public lecture by the great Islamic scholar from Tarem, Yemen; al-Habib Umar ben Hafez at Masjid al-Falah USJ 9. Al-Habib has been featured in Time as a moderate Muslim who preaches love and mercy as the core of the religion.
While waiting for the arrival of al-Habib, one of al-Habib’s American student who just reverted to Islam four months ago, gave a...

MPH Mid Valley ran out of stock of the Englih translation of the Holy Quran. Has all this huha about the ‘Allah case’ trigger an interest in reading the Quran by the non-Muslim like 911?

That is why it is super-duper important to always always remember to never ever leave your IC with security guards. The only authority that can demand your IC is the police.
And also always always remember to cross each photocopy of your IC with the intention of photocopying it. For instance if you’re photocopying it for JPJ, cross it with ‘for JPJ only’.

I love ebooks, but...
I love ebooks for I can take as many books as I would ever care with me everywhere I go and currently my favourite ebook reader is Stanza on my iPhone. Especially when traveling, you wouldn’t want to be paying excess baggage for carrying too many books. I could convert PDF ebooks to Stanza format using the Stanza Desktop app and transfer it to my iPhone.
Ergo when it comes to portability,...

Options Q&A — Straddle
I received this question from a viewer of my YouTube video
Can you explain why one wouldnt put a Call and a Put option on the same set of shares? Therefore benefitting from either way the market moves? Only reason i can think of is placing these put/call options are quite expensive?
My answer:
Buying both a call and a put of the same strike price for the same shares is called a Straddle. The...

I’ve met quite a few good brains who left the country due to the corruption that they see prevalent in our government. Many entrepreneurs feel cheated by their country when their hardwork is being stolen by a crony without being properly compensated.
If the government is serious about curbing the brain drain problem we are having, get their acts right. Clean up the mess. They can start by...

Praise be to Allah, for the bounties given to me, giving things that I do not deserve. Giving me pleasures more that I could ever ask for. Today was a very good day for me, for two reasons.
The first one, is Sumayyah. She swam really well today. We were laughing and swimming taking dips in the swimming pool. God, it was really fun. Thank you Allah for giving me such a wonderful daughter.

It is shame if the perpetrators of the arson attack against the churches today do so in the name of Allah and Islam. Islam NEVER allows attacking a place of worship regardless of religion. A place of worship must always be respected!
Even in war, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed the Muslim army to NOT attack a place of worship and not to harm anybody seeking refuge in them. Even during war,...

Procrastination is the Killer of Time
This morning while on the way to work I listened to one of my favourite podcast by Merlin Mann of 43Folders. It was a recording of his conversation with David Allen, one of the top productivity guru of this age. The topic of the conversation feels so close to me as it was about one of my greatest vice that I have been trying to fight for so many years, sometime I am victorious while some others I...

Is Calling the Christian God 'Allah' Wrong? |... →
When Christians internationally disagrees on calling their God Allah, why are some of the Roman Catholics in Malaysia shamelessly trying to rename their God? And why are some of the Malay Muslims in Malaysia audaciously agree with them?

Theme Changed
This morning I spent an hour looking for the perfect theme for my Tumblog. It must have a white background, clean look, legible font size and ALLOW COMMENTS from Disqus.
One of the main reason for the change is to allow comments from readers. I truly appreciate the comments I get from Facebook since the blog is connected to Facebook. But I would also love to hear from readers directly though the...
