A Somaliland

Bismillah,


And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men). (13) Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. (14)
Al-Mulk [67]


Somaliland.

An African country located within the turmoil of surrounding nations. It seceded from Somalia and is now an independent region seeking for acknowledgement as a sovereign nation after its war period. 

A tiny entity of a Muslim country in the rise, 500 000 shilings of Somaliland equates USD $9. You bring $1 and you get in exchange a stack of money.

However, impressively, its telecommunication network is massive. Sales and transactions are done via transaction of mobile credit widely. Wow! So almost all small shopkeepers subscribe to the network, even for hawkers. One of the reason why this happens is because of the fast arise of telecommunication system yet slow economic proliferation. Then it is more comfy to carry a mobile phone around then bunches of money. Well, well, I can see opportunities here :D


It's a small, peaceful Muslim country. Money exchangers load their stackss of notes on the floor at daily markets without guard, let alone rifles. When the azan calls for prayer at every praying time, their and other stall owners cover their items with clothes and altogether head to masjid.




The Al-Bukhary Foundation gives out 30 sponsorships every year for Somalilanders to further studies in Malaysia. How much does it cost eh?


Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary is the only Muslim listed in Malaysia's 10 richest people. How come only one Muslim is listed eh? Not to mention he is a Malay. He came from a disadvantaged background. So when he received his very first payment, his mother suggested to him that he should spare some part of his wage for the needies - not all what we have is ours. Then every month, he spared half his wage for his needs while the other half solely for charity! 


Oh my, we have lists to do with our first wage.


Millionaires and billionaires do charity. You do good deeds, you'll be rewarded in return - if only you do not meant the deed to regain profits in return as well. This is sunnatullah!

Our beloved PM should try as hard as he could to avoid from talking about hudud! It's not that it's sensitive - it's taboo. You a Muslim must not say out that you don't have the intention of implementing hudud. Saying that Allah is The Most Brilliant but not for this case, covering up cleverly and safely by saying that the conditions are not suitable. Of course it's not suitable. Yet the vision is not to implement now but it can wait when the conditions are suitable - when the country is prosperous enough everybody lives a decent, contented life yet suddenly a thieve appears from nowhere out of his desire. Then we should go cut his hand for ruining the sacredness of the country.

The vision to implement hudud is a vision to make the country perfectly prosperous and harmony.
