Religion

Islam is the official religion of the State. Islam means total submission to the will of Allah. Islamic law (Shariah) is the major source of legislation. The basic tenet of Islam is that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is the last messenger of Allah.

There are 5 basic pillars of Islam: 1 - Shahada or Profession of faith (There is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah). 2 - Salat or Prayers (A muslim should pray 5 times a day at prescribed times). 3 - Zakat or Almsgiving (A muslim has to pay 2.5% per annum on the annual savings). 4 - Saum or Fasting (Total abstaining from food or drink from dawn to dusk for a period of one whole month of Ramadan). 5 - Hajj or Pilgrimage (Every muslim should at least once in lifetime go for pilgrimage provided he or she is physically and financially capable).

Quran is the holy book of Islam (every verse of the Quran is explained in the Hadith or Sunnah). It not only provides complete way of life and guidance for the whole of mankind but defines every aspect of life through social, commercial, political and judicial set of rules. Islam is the first religion to grant men and women equal rights and they have been specified with different duties to perform. Women in Islam are entitled to inherit, hold property in their own name and are permitted to work outside the house. Women for the first and only time got the right to divorce in case of any marital problems. Modesty of dress demands muslim women to cover from head to toe in public. Though Muhammad (PBUH) is the final prophet of Allah, muslims believe in all the previous prophets. People such as the Jews and Christians to whom prior revelations were made are called as the "People of the Book". Non-muslims living under Islamic Government are regarded as Ahl-Addimmah (Protected People) and are allowed to practice their own faiths. However it is strictly forbidden to propagate any other religion besides Islam.

Performance Appraisals - Make Yours Glow

Does the prospect of receiving formal feedback from your boss, peers and subordinates in the form of a professional performance appraisal have your petrified to the core? Here are some tips from bayt.com on how to make the most of your performance appraisal and turn it to your advantage.

It's that dreaded time of year again. The rumour mill has it that those much-maligned annual performance reviews are already in the process of being churned by the HR departments and that this year they are even more rigorous and detailed than last year. The sudden silence from the HR quarters would seem to confirm this. Word even has it that last year's grades were considered "inflated" across the board and that this year managers were being coaxed to take a more subdued approach and "rein in" their accolades!
