chiu is meh meh
Good afternoon all.
School has been fine and I am really happy with my current timetable: I only have jurisprudence and Evidence to handle. It s okay I guess but the Islamic law paper I have to write is starting to scare me. It’s 6000 words and it is not law. That’s the worst part.
It is history, sociology, politics, and law. Plain law is more comforting actually. Take for example Evidence Law. The gist of what we study is whether a certain piece of evidence may be admitted or not. As simple as that. And to score better, we critique whether this should be the way or not, and what possible alternatives we can think of. Rather straightforward. Of course, there will be tougher issues here and there in modules like property and public law.
But I find Islamic Law, a paper about LIFE, really difficult to handle. I think I have over-estimated myself by choosing two ‘fluff’ subjects in Jurisprudence (what is law?) and in Islamic Law. Honestly I thought IL was about what is contained in the Shari’a, but actually, Hallaq goes far far beyond that. It’s a mini-study of Islam and Westernization as a whole.
With that, I must say it is one of the most challenging semesters I have experienced. This is real education. Lessons and theories of life, forcing you to think about all the institutions you are in (the state, democracy etc) and what they stand for and how they have been made.
It’s also been stimulating my views about Christianity and my life and belief as a Christian. I think it’s a wonderful experience and I thank God for this chance of education and really being able to appreciate the truth in life and what and how he moulds me.
To end off, I want to share a verse which has touched me and I believe will work stronger and stronger in my life.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
and here are some pictures of what's been happening in the holidays and now!
