What is the world without laws and lawyers?

Straight Arrow
By Straight Arrow

These laws are set to organize life and make things work better for the country and people, but what can we say to those who do not want to believe that these laws exist?
In a jungle as you know the strong eats or get over the weak, and there is no protection for the weak.
But in Europe for example there are laws and for example if a buyer sells you something bad and you bring it back with the warranty, then if the technician or the shop refuses to fix your item, you can go to the court and win the case against the shop if there is a coustomer protection law policy, and you will be compensated, and you will be relaxed and reliefed.
Can we say how would be the life without laws and lawyers?
It will be chaos right! this will take your wife, she will take your husband, he will take your car, she will take your kid.
The laws and lawyers will bring you back your car, the law will divorce the bad husband or bad wife, the law will tell you that your kid must be educated.
At the end it depends on how good the laws policy in a particular country is, for example:
Country A has laws policy and some of these laws are:
1. Kids must be educated and entered school.
2. Mothers and fathers are responsible for their children healt.
3. Properties of citizens must be documented in a lawyer office belonging to the country lawyers association.
4. Any married couple must have marriage certificate.
Country B:
1. Kids are free to have or not have education.
2. Children health is not parents responsiblity, children health is the responsibilty of the schools and colleges.
3. Properties of citizens can be documented in any lawyer office. (Not necessary to belong to the country lawyers association.)
4. Marriage does not require certificate.
Can you imagine the world with out lawyers and laws?

his own kind in the religious forum. Notice how slyly he slips in the postulation that Islamic countries and laws are good and non-Islamic laws and countries are bad. It doesn't take much to figure out who country A is and who country B is.

Of course, Olive. The religious teaching group is probably too boring for him. He needs counter attacks to be happy, then he can unfold.

which islam tells the parents to teach their children

Just as a child should be taught ritual acts of worship, he should also be taught good habits and etiquettes until they become second nature to him.

The Prophet said: "The believers who have the most perfect faith are those who have the best manners." [Abu Daawood]

Good manners are an acquired trait that must be adopted from a young age. Of such manners are the following:

Being respectful and dutiful to parents:

The first person from whom a child learns good manners is the father. If a child is raised in a good Islamic home, then it would be natural for him to treat his parents respectfully.

Allaah Says (what means): "And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them reach old age in your life, never say 'uff’ (an expression of displeasure), nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And humble yourself to them out of mercy and say, 'My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.'" [Quran, 17:23,24]

Maintaining good relations with relatives:

Sound cultivation also stipulates teaching children to maintain good relations with their relatives.

Allaah Says (what means): ''Worship Allaah and associate none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the needy, the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allaah does not like such as are proud and boastful. " [Quran, 4:36]

The fulfillment of this Divine command can be accomplished only by sound cultivation which makes them grow attached to their relatives out of obedience to Allaah.

Since relatives are an extension of the family, then strengthening ties with them strengthens the whole family and it is like strengthening the whole community and this reflects an Islamic community that enjoys a cohesive structure. The Prophet said: "The example of the believers in their reciprocal love and mercy is like a human body, when one of its organs suffers, the rest of the body remains awake and suffers fever." [Muslim]

Inculcating brotherly love:

Brotherly love and believers' solidarity must be embedded in children's minds and that the believers are brothers-in-faith. For example to follow the pious predecessors, the Muhajireen and the Ansaar whose brotherly love and altruism Allaah commands in His Book.

Giving a friendly gesture or a happy greeting to Muslim brothers generates friendliness in their hearts and, strengthens the love among the believers. This indeed is a fine trait, which is instructed by Allaah, the Exalted. He describes the believers by saying (what means): "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves…" [Quran, 48:29]

Allaah also addressed His Messenger saying (what means): "Had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you…" [Quran, 3:159]

Guarding the tongue:

Giving a good word is a type of remembrance of Allaah, telling the truth, guarding one's own tongue against slandering other Muslims are good deeds. The best Muslim, according to the Prophet is the one from whose tongue the Muslims feel safe.

Parents should make their children aware of the gravity of abusing others with their tongue and of the fact that the tongue is a double-sided and dangerous weapon. Therefore, they should be warned in particular against abusing it.

· Warning children against backbiting and slandering:

Children should be taught that backbiting is speaking slanderously about an absent person. The Prophet said: "Do you know what back biting is?” They (companions) said: "Allaah and His Messenger know best." He said: "It is to attribute to your brother what he dislikes." He was asked: "What do you think if what I say about my brother is true?" He said: "If what you attribute to him is true, then you have backbitten him, and if it is not true, then you have lied about him." [Muslim]

While talebearing is to circulate slanderous rumors between two persons to damage or sever the ties between them. The Prophet said: "Talebearer will not be admitted to Paradise." [Muslim]

Deriding people in their presence by making negative facial expressions or by hand gestures while they are unaware is also forbidden in Islam.

· Warning children against lying:

Children must be taught to tell the truth and to keep away from lying, which is the most horrible habit. The Prophet said: "There are four traits whoever possesses them is a sheer hypocrite, and he who possesses one of them, possesses a trait of hypocrisy unless he quits it. They are: when he speaks, he lies; and when he enters into an agreement, he acts unfaithfully; when he promises, he breaches his promise; and when he litigates, he behaves treacherously. While the liar receives the anger of Allaah on the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhaari]

Parents should not take this evil habit lightly, or consider it funny when their children tell lies because later on, it becomes easy for them to lie without any compunction.

· Abusing others:

Among the worst of manners is reviling people and swearing at them. If this bad habit is not redressed while the child is growing up, it becomes hard for him to avoid it later on.

Islam enjoins guarding the tongues. The Prophet said: "He who guarantees, what is in between his jaws (tongue), and what is in between his thighs (private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him." [Al-Bukhaari]

This means guarding one's own tongue against uttering anything that displeases Allaah, and guarding one's own private parts against committing illicit acts or fornication.

I am a Muslim (Believe in God, the massengers, the day of Judgement, the angels, the holy books such as Quran and bible, and fait (distiny))

Olive I have concluded the following:

1. You are not a believer and for me a non believer is person who do not knows what is good or what is bad.

Some of non believers may know what is good or what is bad.

For example there are many good things which our prophet Mohammed PBUH said and some these are:

• Eloquence

• No Envy

• Experience

• Forgiveness

• Gentleness

• God

• God's Forgiveness

• God's Kindness

• Good Works

• Heart

• Heaven and Hell

• Hospitality

• Humility

• Islam

• Jihad

• Kindness

• The Kuran

• Labor

I have removed the sayings and put only the high light because if I put the sayings it will be very long post and here is the web site which explains the sayings of the above points

Khalid is trying to convince himself that there is a defined set of moral values that every single person in the world must share or be persecuted for not sharing. He doesn't seem to quite grasp that morals & values are defined by culture and that while some cultures may share common ancestry they've all evolved to value different things, and in this day with so many people exposed to so many cultures, no two people value the same thing.

Without laws we would live in fear. The biggest, strongest, or most powerful person or group of people would be in control of our society.

without laws kids will probably become more violent

more murders will happen across the world and more drug use and other things.

Good laws keep us safe and healthy. They protect all of the citizens in our community.

its good that we have laws protecting us :)

i really have different view about this:

the laws and the lawyers are for the outlaws only. when a man is not violating anything against the nature we will never mind the law and order because we are part of the order.

in effect, world without laws and lawyers is a place where everybody is lawful.

Law makes us differentiate right from wrong, good from bad, rational from irrational. but lawyers doesnt always represent them as it is. So for me Law is important, but lawyers...im not sure..

Ok.....I really think you need to get out more Khalid. In many countries health & education of children are equal parts the responsibility of the parents AND the government. In cases where the parents are un-fit to care for their children, the government must step in and the government must ensure schools are up to standards. Also in some countries marriage doesn't require a certificate, so marriage is based on how long a couple can be proven to have been co-habitating.
