Forgiveness And Reconciliation

Remorse, forgiveness and reconciliation are three most inevitable and essential steps to peace. There can be no peace without remorse, forgiveness and reconciliation. The offender must be remorseful so as to elicit forgiveness in the offended and for reconciliation to exist between them. An offender must not pretend as if nothing happened. He must make the offended to drop his anger and release him, hence, peace and ability to make sacrifices that could be acceptable to God. Jesus did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, instead, he came to fulfill them (Matt 5:17). What Jesus actually meant by this fulfillment is the observance of the Spirit of the Law and not just the mere observance of the letters of the Law. One of the Laws that makes up the Decalogue says, "you shall not kill!" (Matt 5:21). Jesus expounded this Law to mean more than killing somebody physically. It involves also anything that might lead to some one's death either directly or indirectly. Such indirect killings include angry behaviour, and indeed any form of altercation. To emphasize this point he restrained his followers from worships/sacrifices when they are not at peace with their neighbours (Matt 5:21-26). The purpose of this article is to establish that sacrifices and offerings or worships done without reconciliation is hypocritical and God abhors such. The implication is that many of our worships are not acceptable to God because of lack of reconciliation or harmony between worshippers. The method to employ here is Library research which includes exegesis of Matt 5:21-26 from which we shall draw inference. This article argues that if the content of Matt 5:21-26 is properly understood and practiced by present day Christians in the world ; reconciliation and by implication peace would be easily achieved in the whole world. Then, majority of our sacrifices will be validly and adequately made through our conscious efforts. This article is relevant to every member of every Christian community because many of the present day Christians are not in harmony with one another yet they make sacrifices to God every Sunday and indeed every day. This is to the extent that majority of worshippers harbour anger for a very long time yet they make sacrifices (Eph 4:26-27). Hence majority will make amend .

The Law

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of the law on the expansion of the jurisdiction of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Court. The major role of DIFC Courts in the Arab community is to handle cases related to commerce and business. For a long time, the court had been acting only in their geographical area until a new law was enacted to extend their jurisdiction all over the world. Afterward, a lot of criticism emerged as for why and how the court will benefit from such actions. The law has drawn a harsh response, although most benefits have also been experienced since the court received quite a large number of new signings. Interaction at the world business forum has benefited the economy of Dubai thanks to the law. Design/methodology/approach The following study focuses on a description of such benefits and drawbacks. The study does not evaluate a factual process of expansion but indicates the most distinct evidence of positive, as well as negative consequences of the expansion. Findings It is appropriate to make a general comment on the fact that the expansion of DIFC Court is not sufficiently effective at the current stage. Needless to say, it contains numerous positive aspects, but the gaps are evidently essential because they place the entire Court in a hard circumstance. The Court does not have a well-developed legal framework for its new area of jurisdiction as long as its limited volume of prior precedent is a distinct sign of the Court’s dependence on the UAE’s Law. In such way, DIFC Court will not be able to address issues within new fields of jurisdiction, as it simply lacks an expertise and international law in its legal framework. Moreover, the jurisdiction over new areas of international business was not verified with a plain system of mediation, which is why a current expansion of DIFC Court has to be recognized as redundant. However, its advantages are tending to produce their effects provided that the Court manages to address its current problems. Originality/value The study has described the basic benefits and drawbacks of DIFC Court expansion. To speak about the main benefits, they can be depicted as appliance of the common law, unification of English language for proceedings, presence of a preliminary arbitration and guarantees of award enforcement. In a similar way, the drawbacks of the expansion have been issued. The study has identified such drawbacks as lack of international and sophisticated expertise, untested legal framework, strong influence of forum non conveniens, and existence of a limited volume of prior precedent. The paper has not assessed a success of a factual expansion of DIFC Court jurisdiction, but it has managed to fulfill its primary purpose. Thus, the paper has identified a certain tendency concerning the expansion.

The place and international position of Lebanon in the world political arena today is changing and transforming under the influence of globalization. Thus, this is not deprive, but changes the vector on the international arena and does not exclude the already acquired conservative character. Prime Minister Tamam Salam, who is the executive of the President of the Republic of Lebanon, is reforming and liberalizing the law and changing the vector of foreign policy. He doing this without leaving the traditions and religious views, also without rejecting the conservative nature of foreign and domestic policies. Although Lebanon is part of the League of Arab States, which is accused of non-democracies, it has a democratic regime for a long time. Balancing the policy of the Lebanese Republic between conservatism, traditionalism, democracy and liberalization makes Lebanon a great country for analysis, since it provides an opportunity to reflect the coexistence of democracy with the stereotyped vision of the “Islamic world”.

Testimony is a statement made by a witness who saw the incident by himself and was at the scene at that time. Nothing can escape this evidence in the afterlife, nor can it be manipulated in the slightest.

Here the limbs are like hands, it can help to expose the crime. One of them uses a DNA or fingerprint test, and only Allah will see what the testimony on the Day of Judgment is.

The world has always been imperfect. I just didn't pay much attention, like so many people who go about their lives ignoring atrocities, war, hunger as if such things happened only in books or films. And even when I found myself in the middle of the chaos of war, for a long time I thought that I would awaken into a beautiful spring morning and realize it was all a bad dream. In those years, my life spun around one word: survival. That meant coping with existence without water, electricity, and with very little food; queuing in lines for hours under incessant shell and sniper fire to get basic things that are normally taken for granted.

Article intends to investigate whether there is the possibility of having English as a global language used all over the world with one variety only. One variety of English will reduce the miscommunication among people speaking English. The research was conducted by library research by looking at the requirements of a global language, its spread in the world, and the related problems. The results show that English has fulfilled the requirements of a global language looking from its history and the spread of its speakers. However, it has a lot of varieties in either English speaking countries or in the developing countries where English functions as a second and foreign language. The varieties are found not only in the pronunciation, but in the vocabulary and grammar as well. Usually the native languages play an important role in these varieties. All these facts indicate that English might become a global language. However, having one variety of English still needs a long time to go.

Holy Book

Islam is a religion that teaches compassion to all nature, because it has been equipped with a book of the Qur'an as a source of law, in which teaches about the intrinsic life, it is the word of God mandated to his Messenger to be conveyed to his people in order to complete the purpose of his life in the world and to achieve happiness in the eternal hereafter. With time travel, there are some things that can not be found solutions in the Holy Qur'an, therefore the scholars associate the source of Islamic law with other legal sources. This type of research is research library or library research, with documentation methods from various sources of literature. The results of this study showed that in addition to the legal source of the Qur'an is the hadith of the prophet Muhammad SAW, Ijma (the agreement of the scholars in determining the law due to different conditions) and Qiyas (liken a problem to the events contained in the Qur'an and hadith). The source of Islamic law in the form of Ijma and Qiyas must be based on the strong evidences of syar'i namely the Qur'an and al-Hadith, because as good as the guidelines or the handle of life of Muslims to be safe in the world and the hereafter is the holy book of the Qur'an and al-Hadith.

As If

“The law is no stranger to the philosophy of ‘As if’. It has built up many of its doctrines by a make-believe that things are other than they are.” In writing these words, Benjamin Cardozo could easily have had in mind the English law of evidence. For a number of its rules can be seen to proceed upon postulates about human nature and about the structure of the world which are unverified and, one has reason to suspect, all too seldom accurate. This paper will examine one of the more arresting examples of this phenomenon, section 1(f) of the Criminal Evidence Act 1898, where English law adheres to a doctrine which, it is feared, derives from a blend of misconceptions and wishful thinking.
