Shakira attacked by sea lion
Pop star Shakira was
attempting to take a picture of a sea lion, which thought her mobile
phone was a fish and attacked her. The singer suffered minor scratches.
The 35-year-old "Hips Don't Lie" singer was busy trying to capture a good photograph of the animal, when it jumped out of the water and tried to bite her, thinking that her phone was a fish. Shakira's brother pulled her away from the beast, but the brother-sister duo couldn't manage without few bruises, reports thesun.co.uk.
Shakira posted a blog and pictures of the incident, which happened last weekend during her holiday in Cape Town, South Africa.
"This afternoon I happened to see some sea lions and seals. I thought how cute they were so decided to get closer than all of the other tourists and went down to a rock. Suddenly, one jumped out of the water so fast that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me.
"Everyone there screamed, including me. I was paralysed by fear and couldn't move, I just kept eye contact with it while my brother 'Super Tony' jumped over me and literally saved my life, taking me away from the beast. We both got our hands and legs scratched by the rocks while trying to protect ourselves.
"I believe it confused the reflection of the BlackBerry phone I was taking pics with, with some sort of fish. It thought I was teasing it with food."
Shakira later posted a picture of her with some penguins.
She wrote: "Today with the penguins! Definitely friendlier!"

10 things I hate about YOU. Women to Men.
Be it a wet towel on the bed or making disparaging comments about your
TV habits, your man knows very well how to get on your nerves, isn't
it? But you are not the only one, as there are some standard habits men
have that annoy women to the core. Christina Hopkinson, author of the
book 'The Pile Of Stuff At The Bottom Of The Stairs', tells you the
top ten things that women hate about men, reports the Daily Mail.
10 . Disparaging comments about our TV habits OK, so nobody ever claimed that the Sky Living channel was great art, but is a televisual diet of America's Next Top Model and repeats of Grey's Anatomy really so much worse than watching endless sports programmes? Yes, it's true that all reality talent shows are almost identical but it could also be argued that a nil-all result in the Premiership doesn't exactly rival Shakespeare for drama. Women believe that the size of your TV is in inverse proportion to the size of your brain, while their men seem to think that some other screen-size/body part correlation is going on and so opt for the full-on Odeon surround-sound experience.
9. The surprisingly wiry 'wireless' home One mobile phone, one charger -- it's all you need. But no, he has wires crawling round the house like vines. Then are the drawers full of old cables that look like nests of vipers. Some of them are for his first Nokia, bought circa 1995 . These phone, camera and computer chargers have joined old keys as things we can no longer throw away for fear that the moment we do so, we'll discover a need to use them.
8. Selective greenness We all try to do our bit for the environment, but there seems to be some disagreement about what ' bits' to do. Yes, he's right that cut flowers flown from Kenya are an eco-disgrace -- but they are rather lovely. And yes, clothes can be air-dried, but it's just so much more convenient -- and they feel nicer -- if you use the tumble dryer.
7. Leaving pans 'to soak' Washing up means doing everything -- including saucepans. But he always leaves them on the side, or marginally better, he puts some tepid water in them ' to soak', thus divesting him of all responsibility of actually dealing with the burnt-on food that's clinging to them like Araldite.
6. Culinary grandstanding Guests coo over his fancy ways with a flavored oil, but the boring rehashing, reheating and pureeing always gets left to me.
5. Stacks of coins everywhere There's a stack of money on the chest of drawers and a hillock of tuppenny bits next to the unpaid bills on the sideboard. We know it's because you need to empty your pockets of it since you don't carry a purse, but perhaps it's time to tidy up and get a man-bag.
4. Saying we've run out of something after it's actually run out "We're out of cornflakes/sugar/bread" said in an offensively accusatory way, as he empties the last of it onto his plate. Always with the subtitle running below it of: 'Can you go out and buy it, I'm far too busy.' This is closely allied to the habit of putting empty food receptacles back into the cupboard or fridge, especially milk bottles.
3. Childcare cherry-picking One of the undoubted advances of the modern world is that fathers are much more hands-on with their children. Sadly, he hasn't realised that looking after children is not just parks, pools and zoos ” it's also wiping, washing and cleaning. You can't just pick off the best stuff, leaving us to do the grunge.
2. Wet towels Doesn't he ever realise that if he stood on the mat after a shower then the bathroom floor wouldn't be permanently pockmarked with puddles? But then these provide useful watering holes for the towels to marinate in when he doesn't hang them back on the rail. Actually that's not fair, he doesn't always leave the towels on the floor, sometimes he leaves them on the bed. Or, after swimming, to mould and fester in the plastic bag that he's used to carry his kit in.
1. The pile of stuff at the bottom of the stairs Even those who live in flats without stairs seem to have a problem with these piles. Those shoes, books and clothes, those empty wine glasses and old magazines, those toys and towels -- they're not there for decorative reasons. It's like a conveyor belt for possessions, you see, except that like with all his irritating habits, there's always someone else to sort out the pile for him.

LEGAL STUDY OF SUNNAH
LEGAL STUDY OF SUNNAH
LEGAL STUDY OF SUNNAH
The
limits or bounds laid down by law. In the criminal law, it means an
unalterable punishment prescribed by Allah for certain specific
offences, namely, in Maliki law, zina , qadhf, sariqah , shurb, hirabah
and ridda . The punishments for these offences are regarded as the right
of Allah, so that once an accused has been duly found guilty of the
offence, the punishment may not be waived or commuted by anyone else,
including the victim
in Islamic law one of the objective of shariah is protection of wealth. For this purpose Islam introduce the punishment to cut of hand of theft, to make sure the protection of wealth
According to the Quran
1. The Qur'anic injunction regarding the punishment for theft is given in verses 38 to 40 in Chapter 5
“As for the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off the hand of either of them in requital for what they have wrought, as a deterrent ordained by God: for God is almighty, wise(5:38). But as for him who repents after having thus done wrong, and makes amends, behold, God will accept his repentance: verily, God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.(5:39)
Most of the commentators including Maulana Maudoodi interpret verse 5:39 to mean that if the thief repents after his hand is cut off, and then he reforms himself, then Allah turns to him in forgiveness. It is not a logical explanation! Repentance and reformation can only have meaning and significance if they are done before the punishment is carried out. We can look at a similar verse in the Quran;
“Those who launch a charge against chaste women and do not bring four witnesses should be punished with eighty lashes, and their testimony should not be accepted afterwards: except for those who repent thereafter and mend (their conduct). For Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful”. - (24:4)
It is clear that if there is true repentance coupled with a change in conduct there will be no punishment. Let’s assume that someone steals something and pays the heavy price of his or her hands being cutting off. What does it mean in his or her case that, "as for him who repents after having thus done wrong, and makes her hands? How could he or she deserve a second chance without his or her hands amends"(5:39). How will he or she be redeemed once he or she has lost his or
According to the Sunnah
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "When (a person) an adulterer commits illegal sexual intercourse then he is not a believer at the time he is doing it; and when somebody steals, then he is not a believer at the time he is stealing."
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah curses a man who steals an egg and gets his hand cut off, or steals a rope and gets his hands cut off." Al-A'mash said, "People used to interpret the Baida as an iron helmet, and they used to think that the rope may cost a few dirhams."
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: We were with the Prophet in a gathering and he said, 'Swear allegiance to me that you will not worship anything besides Allah, Will not steal, and will not commit illegal sexual intercourse." And then (the Prophet) recited the whole Verse (i.e. 60:12). The Prophet added, 'And whoever among you fulfills his pledge, his reward is with Allah; and whoever commits something of such sins and receives the legal punishment for it, that will be considered as the expiation for that sin, and whoever commits something of such sins and Allah screens him, it is up to Allah whether to excuse or punish him."
Narrated Abdullah: Allah Apostle said in Hajjat-al-Wada, "Which month (of the year) do you think is most sacred?" The people said, "This current month of ours (the month of Dhull-Hijja)." He said, "Which town (country) do you think is the most sacred?" They said, "This city of ours (Mecca)." He said, "Which day do you think is the most sacred?" The people said, "This day of ours." He then said, "Allah, the Blessed, the Supreme, has made your blood, your property and your honor as sacred as this day of yours in this town of yours, in this month of yours (and such protection cannot be slighted) except rightfully." He then said thrice, "Have I conveyed Allah's Message (t The people answered him each time saying, 'Yes." The Prophet added, 'May Allah be merciful to you o you)?"
Narrated Aisha: Whenever the Prophet was given an option between two things, he used to select the easier of the tow as long as it was not sinful; but if it was sinful, he would remain far from it. By Allah, he never took revenge for himself concerning any matter that was presented to him, but when Allah's Limits were transgressed, he would take revenge for Allah's Sake.
Legal status
According to Islamic law it is permissible and lawful to cut the thief s hand as is stated in the hodud punishments when it is proof either by confession or by the witness.
Hadiths and legal rulings
Narrated Aisha; Allah s messenger said “a thief’s hand should not be cut of except for a quarter of a dinar and up words. In a narration by Ahmad “cut off a thief s hand for aquarter of adinar but do not cut it off for what is less than that.
Explanation and legal rulings
In this hadith Nisab or amount is fixed that is a quarter dinar or more than that but should not less then this amount. if a person steel a thing which value is less then a quarter dinar then his hand would not be cut off.
