Black robe v White coat

juz to cut it short, in this post I want to share something about black robe ( lawyers ) and white lab coat ( the doctors n etc. )

Few days back i attended an interview for a scholarship. in that interview, one of the panel asked me when someone has become a lawyer, everything that he will see is only money, is it true ? because i am not one ( yet ).

He also said dat as a receiver of the scholar, it must at last benefit the ummah and he asked me again how i will contribute to the ummah.

it makes me think dat, yes, a doctor will help to cure the sick people and he will be regarded as a hero and the society look up to dis profession as very good and heroic. every family will b proud if there is any family member who works in this field.

how bout law ? lawyers ( in the tipycal malay thought ) is a liar, double faced person and most probably will end up in hell.. even most of people around me at first feel quite distureb when i choose to be in this field.

well, i dun mind bout their opinion, thank god ( alhamdulillah ) dat my parents, family n ma friends are very supportive.

For me, for being in this field it is an honour for myself because i take it as a challenge..

last few days, i went to the high court in jalan duta.. it's kinda disturbing when I saw so few malays or muslims ( to be precise ) lawyers r there..this field have been monopolized by the others since the malay states history.

yes, i know that the law dat we'll be arguing is man-made law ( not Allah's law ) but it's not the power of us in the capacity of a normal citizen to change dat in a blink of eye. the only way to change it is by being inside the system because there is still room for islamic improvement ( like my ustazah told me ) where the future legislator n the people in the judiciary will implement...

how the implementation of the divine law can be a reality is by flooding the legal market with islamic lawyer ( my Dean's word ).

i want to ask u something, if u was caught for a crime dat u did not do, would u want to be helped by a muslim lawyer or some other non-muslim better lawyer ?? i'm not sure about ur choice. but i will certainly choose one who will help me with the reason more than money..

one of the panel aslo said this legal profession will make us cannot see the truth and only money is in ur head. yes it is.. but this both come together it co-existed ... being a doctor also will bring a very handsome profit as well as other profession. dat's is one of the purpose of getting a good job n studying very hard, we want to help our family, have better economic position.. is dat wrong??
and it's not freakin easy to make money. No matter wat work we r doing.. job n money comes together... when u work, u got money and when u dont work u got nothing.. so don't talk about being rich only...

so, i want to conclude here dat, no matter wat profession r u in or wat job r u doing, make sure it will benefit the people around you n make u happy. be sure dat u r doing the right thing n wat other people opinion about wat u r doing. take it but judge it with ur intellect. go on with wat u r doing. make sure it satisfy u and remeber Allah. hav fun with ur job.

thank you for being a doctor, an engineer, a phisician, a musician, an architect, a writer, a lawyer, a geologist a teacher, a police, a businessman. or even a blogger... =)

Thank you for doing it n benefit others, make the world more colourful, peaceful, and beautiful, remember doing ur job properly is part of ibadah....

have a nice day...
