Stuck In Bangladesh

Don't worry it just my ym status that makes my friends laugh. I'm doing my writing on Bangladesh dual banking system comparing with Malaysia's system. I've been exploring Bangladesh system and their instruments used for the couple of weeks still there are many things I don't really understand especially in how their instruments works in the monetary policy implementation. Anyway got this from a friend, a really nice thing to share;

Islamic Teachings & Sustainable Development

I was searching the link between maqasid shariah and the monetary policy goals. In my monetary transmission mechanism papers I need to test between conventional operational monetary policy targets with the operational targets that conform with Islamic teachings and maqasid shariah. Instead of finding what I suppose to do I found something that is really interesting; islamic teachings and sustainable development. There are a really obvious lesson from hadith and quran regarding the protection of nature.

Some orders and recommendation which are conclusive regarding sustainable development

'Eat good and lawful things and commit no oppression therein" (Quran, 20:81)

"Is not He who created the heavens and earth and sends down for you water" (Quran 27:60)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) " Do not cut trees, otherwise you will be punished by God"

"People who harass animals are compared with Satan" (Quran 16:90)

These are some examples which hint to this dimension of sustainable developments there a lot other texts that can be found and understand in the Quran and have a deep thought about it.

How Ignorance I Am.....

I've been trying to understand what my SV said for the past few months still I couldn't understand what he was trying to explain. For all these while I've been searching the articles, books etc to find the issues he told me. He just smiled everytime I didn't get the point in our meeting. Until tonight I feel like opening again his latest book. I read that book before but I thought it seems nothing much related to my writing and I put it aside. But when I reread it tonight... Oh my goodness the issue he was trying to highlight is there. Whatever he talked about for all these while are there.I know I should say alhamdulillah but still feeling like wanted to swallow my book or putting my head in the toilet bowl and flush it. How ignorance I am.... huhuhu

People say it is a lonely journey...

but sometimes I'm not alone coz there are still people who are willing to help me. In just a week I got these;

1. An officer from BNM voluntarily offer to help to teach me about OPR, BLR, BFR and the transmission mechanism. TQ. Got a lot of knowledge from her.

2. A Phd student saw me with a file of Maqasid Syariah papers. Since I don't have any background in that particular area and I was asked to relate it with my thesis and it is a challenge for me to understand. A very kind student I should say without any hesitation taught me on the area. Very grateful with her teaching.TQ

3. A friend brought me a book which she thought related to my my topic without been asked. Really appreciate that. TQ

4. An officer from **Bank who gave a talk which attended offered me to do an attachment with the bank so I can understand how the system works. Again TQ.
