" Media & Riba: PARTNERS in CRIME? ", Paper PRESENTED!

A Media Paper titled "Media & Riba: PARTNERS in CRIME???" had just been presented by Azharin Khamis and blogger in the Open Forum at the 3rd World Riba Conference held at MINES Resort, Sg.Besi - KL.

Amongst salient points highlighted by blogger:-
* The need for a Halal Certificate to be introduced for each Islamic Finance product.
* The need to highlight alternative viewpoints in Islamic Finance like Fractional Reserve Banking and Dinar Dirham currency.
* Suggested for a people's movement to collect funds and advertise in mainstream media ala the People TV Live telecast for the World Cup n 1982.

Islamic ESTATE PLANNING

" Wahai Abu Hurairah! Belajarlah ilmu Faraid Dan ajarkanlah kepada orang lain kerana ia adalah separuh ilmu. Dia Akan dilupakan Dan dia Akan menjadi perkara pertama dicabut dari umatku." (Riwayat Ibn Majah dari Abu Hurairah r.a.)

Am attending a 3-day Islamic Estate Planning(IEP) course at the As Salihin Trustee Berhad HQ located In Kelana Jaya-Selangor branch as part of my undertaking for the newly-formed QIBLAH Consulting (an Islamic Finance Consulting, Advisory & Services outfit). and also as preparation for a segment on "Opportunities in Islamic Finance" for the ISLAMiC FiNANCE TV programme on The Capital TV, Channel 127 (Hypp TV-UNIFI).

An interesting hadith learnt today is:- "Half of Knowledge is in Faraid"
Very interesting training content.

More Report after the 2nd Day.

Takaful Basic Examinations (TBE), Taken & Passed

I'd recently(on Thursday to be more specific) sat for the Takaful Basic Examination (TBE) at the Open University of Malaysia(OUM), Petaling Jaya-Selangor branch as part of my undertaking for the newly-formed QIBLAH Consulting (an Islamic Finance Consulting, Advisory & Services outfit).

In my journey of preparing and sitting for TBE, I'd encountered many hassles or, inconveniences. Further down the road I hope to pen down my experiences and perhaps suggestions for improvements in an Open Letter or, Blog Post to BNM and IBFIM of the hassles encountered and shortcomings discovered.

For Now, suffice to say that having read about 20-25% of the suggested book I.e. "Amalan " one and a half day prior to the TBE.......I'd PASSED!
Which brings me to other questions...and they are:-

HIKMAH: MATAwang Shariah dan Melayu - PENIPUAN dalam Kewangan & Perlembagaan???

Cebisan VIDEO Pembentangan, DISINI


KEMASKINI Terkini!

Saya diminta oleh Pengasas & Penganjur HIKMAH iaitu Saudara Radzi Sapiee untuk membuat rumusan pembentangan saya.

RUMUSAN Pembentangan:-
(1) Matawang Melayu Islam yang pada fitrahnya sudah mengikut sunnah Nabi Muhammad SAW mengalami perubahan kerna ditipu secara halus oleh penjajah apabila Nota Hutang diperkenalkan.

(2) Perlembagaan Malaysia diterapkan nilai Sekularisma dengan adanya "Federal & State List". Perkara berkaitan Islam Dan Adat Melayu di bawah naungan Sultan(State List) tetapi kenapa "Perbankan Islam" di bawah Kerajaan Persekutuan(Federal List)?

(3) Kembalikan pengunaan Matawang Sunnah & Perbetulkan Perlembagaan.
