Islam says working hours are from sunrise till noon. Modern Law says working hours are 8 (from 9 AM till 5 PM)
Islam orders us to pay 2.5% of our annual income as alms. Modern Law orders us to pay more than 20% of our income as taxes.
Islam allows males and females to marry once they reach puberty. Marriage in most civillized countries is not permissible till several years after puberty.
Islam puinishes an unfaithful spouse by stoning to death. Modern Law condems an adulterer as being "naughty".
Islam prohibits sex outside marriage. Modern Law allows fornication, sodomy, homo, bisexuality.
Islam detents thieves and other criminals with severe punishments; thus making crime rate minimal. Modern Law is very tolerant to them.
Islam prohibits alcohol, smoking, etc Modern Law allows that.
Islam allows a man to have up to 4 legal wives. Modern Law allows a man/woman to have as many partners as possible, but only 1 spouse!
Regarding myself, I'll choose the Islamic law, and you??

Temsah, working hours from sunrise till dawn was the correct path of the companions of our great prophet (PBUH).They condemned anyone who sleeps after sunrise, warning him that the blessings of earnings shall be greatly decreased. Islam greatly encourages siesta; that is: sleeping 1-3 hours in the afternoon. It is great and refreshening to your body and brain.
Alms on money is only 2.5%. You meant Zakat El Rikaaz; which is 20% and applies for what comes from earth (like gold and petroleum).No taxes are decreed upon Muslims. Non-Muslims are taxed, but slightly; something far less than what secular laws do today.
Adultery or fornication needs 4 witnesses rather than what you claim. Many Muslims and one Jew were stoned to death for committing adultery while being married. Those include Ma'iz and Al Ghamidiyyah. The Jew's story is evident; unless you're a Shiite.
May we be friends; as we are brothers in Islam, Ameen!

Temsah...from where did you get this prayer of yours?? Don't we pray to Allah to protect us from all harm; even if it is from us?? Aren't our enemies the biggest harm?
May ALLAH guide us all to the correct path, Ameen!

where did you get the following
1- hours from sunrise till noon?
2- 2.5% thing?
3- the stoning of a spouse?
1- There is nothing in Islam regarding working time
2- the 2.5% is only for money that you have saved and a year has passed since you saved it. In other cases like farming you can pay up to 20% if your irrigation is through rain fall.
3- stoning of a spouse it was only applied once and that was during the time of Prophet Muhammad PUH and it was because he admitted doing it for four times and did stick by his/her admission until the end of the punishment. do you have any idea how difficult it is to prove adultery in Islam? other than the person admitting committing it for FOUR TIMES it is next to impossible.
God protect me from my friends I will take care of my enemies.
