(Chapter 39:5-10)
The Old Testament Verses from 5-10 are talking about Joseph and His master's wife which wanted him!
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Jesus went to Jerusalem riding an ass

=========
The Noble Quran:
Chapter 39 in the Noble Quran is composed of 69 verses.
Verses from 6-10 are talking about 1) Allah is self-sufficient above all need of you, 2) Allah is not pleased with…, 3) The Golden Law: No soul will bear the sins of another, 4) The creation of man and animals, 5) The disbelievers in between distress and grace! 6) Are they equal, the intellectual and the Ignorant? 7) The outcome of the steadfast, etc.
------------
The verses from 5-10:
[6] He has created man from a single being, and then made its mate of the same (kind). And he has made for you eight kinds of the cattle in pairs. He creates you in your mothers' womb, creation after creation, in three veils of darkness. Such then is Allah, your lord. To him belongs (all) dominion and kingdom. There is no god except him. How, then, can you turn away?
[7] if you are ungrateful, then surely Allah is self-sufficient above all need of you; and he does not like ungratefulness in his servants; and if you are grateful, he likes it in you; and no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another; then to your lord is your return, then will he inform you of what you did; surely he is cognizant and knows well all that is in (men's) hearts.
[8] and when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his lord turning to him frequently; then when he makes him possess a favor from him, he forgets that for which he called upon him before, and sets up rivals to Allah that he may cause (men) to stray off from his path. Say: enjoy your disbelief and ungratefulness for awhile, you shall surely be among the companions of the fire.
[9] or, is he who is obedient that prostrates himself and stands during parts of the night, being afraid of the everlasting life but hoping for the mercy of the lord (to be compared to the unbeliever)?
Say: "are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.
[10] Say: 'My worshipers, who believe, fear your lord and observe your duty to your lord. For those who do good in this world there is good and Allah's earth is spacious. Verily those who are patient and steadfast will be paid their wages without stint (will be recompensed in full without count).
=========
The interpretation of the verses 5-10:
The threefold darkness of man's creation
6) He created man from a single soul, namely, Adam, and then made from it its mate, Eve;
And He has provided for you of cattle eight kinds of camels, cows, small cattle, sheep and goats, eight kinds, of each kind a male and a female
He creates you in your mothers’ wombs, creation after creation, that is to say, as a sperm-drop, then the fertilized ovum, then a fetus, in a threefold darkness, that is, the darkness of the belly, that of the womb and that of the placenta.
That is Allah, your Lord. To Him belongs all sovereignty,
There is no Creator or Fashioner except Him.
There is no god except Him. Why then are you being turned away from worshipping Him to worshipping [things] other than Him?
------------
Allah is self-sufficient above all need of you
Allah is not pleased with…
The Golden Law: No soul will bear the sins of another
7) If ye are thankless,
If you disbelieve in Muhammad
And if you disbelieve in the Quran,
Yet Allah is Independent of you
Allah is self-sufficient above all need of you
Allah is not in need of your faith,
Though He is not pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen)
Though He is not pleased with disbelief in Muhammad
And He is not pleased with disbelief in the Quran,
Because disbelief is not His religion;
And if ye are thankful
If you believe
He is pleased therewith for you
He will accept it from you because that is His religion.
No laden soul will bear another's load
No soul will bear the sins of another;
No soul will be taken to task for the sins of another soul,
For each soul will be taken to task for its own sins
No soul will be punished for no crime.
Then unto your Lord is your return after death;
and He will tell you on the Day of Judgment what you have done in the life of this world.
Lo! He is the knower of all what is in the heart of man of good and evil.
Back to the Golden Law: No soul will bear the sins of another, it is a very important law that. In the teachings of church, Jesus was sent to bear the sin of Adam!
------------
The disbelievers in between distress and grace!
8) And when some hurt, distress, hardship and or trial befalls a person, especially the disbelieving man, he supplicates his Lord, he implores, turning, returning, to Him penitently.
Then, when He bestows on him a grace from Himself, he forgets, he neglects, Him Whom he had supplicated, implored, before, namely, God and sets up equals, associates, with God, that he may beguile (men) from His way) from His religion and obedience.
Say: ‘Take pleasure in thy disbelief, Revel in your ingratitude for a while, for a little in the life of this world.
You shall indeed be among the inhabitants of the Fire’.
------------
Are they equal, the intellectual and the Ignorant?
9) Or is he, who devotes himself in worship, observing duties of obedience,
He who obeys Allah and the Prophet
In the watches of the night, during its hours,
Prostrating and standing, in prayer, apprehensive of the eventuality of the Hereafter,
In other words, fearing its chastisement, and hoping for the mercy, the Paradise, of his Lord
And hoping for the mercy of his Lord; hoping for the Garden of his Lord
Bewaring of the Hereafter; fearing the torment of the Hereafter
Like one who is disobedient through disbelief or otherwise?
Say: ‘Are those who know Allah's divine Oneness and Allah's commands and prohibitions equal in reward and acts of obedience with those who do not know Allah's divine Oneness or Allah's commands and prohibitions?
In other words, they are not equal, just as the person of knowledge is not equal to the ignorant one.
Only people of pith, possessors of intellect, remember, only they are admonished.
Only men of understanding, only those possessed of intellect among people will pay heed, will take admonition from the similitude of the Quran.
------------
The outcome of the steadfast
10) Say: ‘O servants of mine who believe!
O My bondmen who believe
Fear your Lord;
Observe your duty to your Lord
Obey your Lord in small and great things
That is to say, fear His chastisement, by being obedient to Him.
For those who are virtuous in this world, through obedience, there will be good, and that is Paradise,
For those who do good, for those who believe in Allah's divine Oneness in this world they will have the Garden on the Day of Judgment
And God’s earth is vast, so emigrate throughout it, away from the company of disbelievers and the sight of indecencies.
The land of Medina is spacious, is safe from the enemy, so travel to it; (when Muslims fled from Mecca to Madina escaping from the disbelievers who want to eliminate all of them).
Truly the steadfast, in their obedience of God and in enduring whatever hardship they may be tested with,
The steadfast in the face of misfortunes
Will be paid their reward in full without any reckoning’, without any measure or any scales to work it out, without any delay

What Makes an Expert Lawyer or Attorney?
By Lala C. Ballatan
What goes on in your mind whenever you see lawyers being featured in TV programs in handsome suits, sitting in elegant desks on fancy offices, and driving luxury cars?
Have you ever thought about the amount of effort and perseverance they have gone through in terms of money, time, education, and training in order to attain the things that you see they are enjoying? If you have not realized this yet, then it would significantly change the way you think and feel towards your lawyer if you realized just how much hardship he or she has gone through to achieve his or her present status.
So what really makes a successful lawyer who is also expert on his field of specialization?
The course of training undergone by the lawyers:
Requirement in terms of formal education:
- Four years college degree
- Three years in law school
- Pass the written bar examination
Before entering a law school:
- To be accepted in a law school would mean sticking it out with the stiff competition for admission in many law schools.
- In order to succeed in law school, aspiring lawyers must develop a proficiency in the following skills:
o Speaking, Writing, Reading, Researching, Analyzing, Logical thinking
Later on, these skills must further be enhanced when in order for a lawyer to be marked as a success and an expert in his / her profession.
- A multidisciplinary background, notwithstanding the major, is always recommended for a prospective law student to possess. He or she should have taken courses in the following subjects or disciplines for they are essential and useful in the study of law:
o Public speaking, Government, Philosophy, History, English, Foreign languages, Economics, Computer science, Mathematics
Furthermore, law students who are interested in specializing in a particular area of the law need to have a strong background on a related course.
- The applicant must demonstrate an aptitude to the study of law since this is a deciding factor for most law schools in acceptance. This can be determined through the following:
o Good grades in the undergraduate course
o Passing of the Law School Admission Test (LSAT)
o Quality of the undergraduate school where applicant studied
o Work experience
o Personal interview
Upon being a law student:
During the first 11/2 years in law school, students study core law courses and the remaining time, they are given chance to choose from elective courses in specialized fields.
Practical experience is also necessary and mostly acquired by the student by continued participation in |legal clinic" activities and moot court competitions sponsored by the school. These activities enhance the students' abilities in conducting appellate arguments.
They also get to practice in handling trial cases through apprenticeship under experienced lawyers and judges. Meanwhile the law journal of the school gives them a chance to practice their writing and researching skills.
Upon graduating:
The degree of Juris Doctor (J.D.) is earned as a first professional degree of a graduate of law school. Those who are interested in specializing on a particular area of law, legal researching or teaching may still need to obtain advanced law degrees. This requires them to study for additional semester or another year of study.
Lawyers have the responsibility to continue being informed about legal and non-legal developments that have a profound effect on their practice. Continuing legal education is presently mandated by the 40 states and jurisdictions, this is carried out by most law schools, local, and State bar associations through various education courses that will help legal professionals stay updated with recent developments.
Now we know that being an attorney is such a great responsibility and thus cannot be attained in a breeze, nor is the lavish life associated with being one.

Resolving Disputes with an Expert Business Law Firm in California
By Rainier Policarpio
In California, business disputes happen in one way or another. Especially when engaging into transactions with other companies, suppliers, clients and even partners, it is very possible that disagreements will arise.
With these problem occurrences, the business manager has to make an important decision to prevent losses and further damages to the company – whether to file a case in court or to engage in an out of court settlement such as arbitration.
What legal experts suggest
Because of the tremendous advantages of dealing with a corporate dispute, majority of the business law firms in California firmly recommend opposing parties to resolve the issue outside the court. In fact, arbitration is fast becoming a popular means of settling commercial and business disputes all over the country nowadays.
Mainly, the following are the reasons why most disputing companies enter into arbitration rather that a court litigation.
• A court case may take a lot of time to be resolved. Fast resolution of a case is important in many instances, especially if the issue is affecting the company operation.
Unlike court litigations where pre-trial procedures are necessary, the arbitration process does not require these time consuming steps. Also, the non-application of court rules on evidence is an added factor that prevents unnecessary motions in arbitration.
• An arbitration maybe done privately at any time and place by both parties, preventing the public to identify the dispute. This means the arguing parties will have more control over their own argument.
Besides, because some disputed matters should be held confidential for it may create bad image on either parties, it is advisable to inhibit others to know of the problem.
• Court litigation may cost both parties a large amount of money in paying for attorney’s fees and attending the hearings. In corporate cases, many lawyers charge their clients per court appearance. Therefore, a speedy resolution of a business dispute will certainly lessen both parties’ expenses.
Arbitration process
Arbitration is slightly similar to court litigation. This procedure is also carried out before a neutral party to make his decision for the disputed matters after both sides has been heard. The defendant should also be given a copy of the complaint and be given time to prepare his response. If both parties agree to settle the problem outside the court, it would only be then the arbitration procedure will push through.
Similarly, the plaintiffs should have to present their respective evidences to prove their cases while the defendants may also provide their counter-charges and/or explanations to contest the disputed issue. The arbitrator will then make his decision based on these presented evidences. Typically, the arbitrator’s judgment is legally binding and final.
The need for representation
Notwithstanding the many benefits of arbitration in resolving a business dispute, still, the opposing parties must be properly represented by their respective business lawyers. This will ensure that all their rights will be well protected as suggested by the existing arbitration rules and regulations.
In addition, a competent lawyer coming from a reputable business law firm in California will lessen their burden of preparing the needed documents and evidences. An advocate will also explain to them all about the status of their case and make sure that they will end up in a fair settlement.

The universe is willing to give you what you want. But like the saying goes, “Be careful of what you ask for, you just may get it.” Think about this. Have you ever been around a person that bad things seemed to happen to all the time. What was the attitude of this unlucky person?
Did they constantly talk about their woes and wander around in a state of depression? Maybe they liked to talk about their health problems, financial troubles or other problems in their life.

First and foremost you have got to get rid of your scarcity mindset. The universe has plenty to go around for everybody. All you have to do is reach out and take it. So let’s get started.
The main point of the law of attraction is to be thankful for what you already have. Wake up in the morning and be thankful for everything that you have, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Make a list of things that your are thankful for. Think about these things before you go to bed at night. This is the first step in the law of attraction.
The next step is visualize what you want in life. If you want a new house, form a picture of your dream house in your mind. Now take this a step further and imagine the feelings that you will have when you get your dream home. Imagine how it looks inside and out, how it feels and even how it smells. Decorate your home in your mind and mentally walk through your new home. Claim this home as yours. You will be surprised how things will start to align themselves so that you will be able to get your dream home.
This is just the basic for the law of attraction. Thousands of people over the years have used this law of attraction to get everything they want out of life. Study the law of attraction in more depth and discover what the masters of the law know. You will be glad you did.
