Brugnoni](https://amal.co.za/the-case-for-the-gold-diner-and-islamic-complementary-currencies-by-alberto-g-brugnoni/): ON 10 SEPTEMBER 2013. The Case for the Gold Dinar and Islamic Complementary Currencies By Alberto G. Brugnoni Introduction According to the Sunnah (the ways, teachings and activities of Prophet Muhammed p.b.u.h), money must possess an intrinsic value, i.e., the value of the money, whatever that value might be, and regardless of changes in value that might naturally occur, is stored within the money, and thus is immune to arbitrary external manipulation and devaluation, the standard being precious metals or commodities that are consumed regularly as food. Its value can in no instance be found outside. As a consequence, the only money […]

- [Mr Archie Augustine](https://amal.co.za/mr-archie-augustine/): ON 24 FEBRUARY 2014. The late Mr. Archie Augustine (a Roman Catholic) from Estcourt, Kwa Zulu Natal put it beautifully when he said the following about the Qur’an: “Despite your religious or non-religious attitudes, the Holy Qur’aan is a boon to your intellectual and moral strength. Even if you are not concerned with moral issues, then pamper your intellectual curiosity and read the Qur’aan. The greater the level of your education, in any field, or the greater your social or political standing in your community, the more reason why you should procure your own copy of the Book and begin to read […]
- [There is a big difference between Religion and Reality](https://amal.co.za/there-is-a-big-difference-between-religion-and-reality/): ON 24 FEBRUARY 2014. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIGION AND REALITY In Islam, all attributes of God have to be God-like; otherwise God would not be God. For example, the Christian teaching of TRINITY does not demonstrate a God-like attribute of God because “God Alone is enough as Defender of the universe” (Al-Qur’an). He does not need a Son. Likewise, in idol worship, the idols do not possess God-like attributes of God because they cannot hear or benefit us in anyway. (Al-Qur’an) There are different ways in which different religions downgrade or degrade the different attributes of God. For example, […]
- [Insults against Islam - A Muslim's Response](https://amal.co.za/insults-against-islam-a-muslims-response/): ON 24 FEBRUARY 2014. Insults against Islam: A Muslim’s Response Insults and propaganda against Islam and the Muslims are nothing new. It is rather inevitable. From the very inception of Islam, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam had to deal with the insults of the disbelievers and hypocrites. He was mocked, ridiculed, sworn at, and attacked verbally and physically. This is part and parcel of what it means to be a Muslim. Allah Ta’ala states: “They desire to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His Light thought the disbelievers hate it.” We, however, need to assess how we respond to these situations […]

There is a difference of opinion amongst the schools of Islamic law on the question as to whether a non muslim may enter a mosque, arising from the interpretation of verse 28 of Surah At – Taubah : ” O you who believe, Truly, the Mushriks are impure, so let them not approach Al Masjid -al- Haraam after this year of their pilgrimage ” ( The 9th year of Hijrah )  2.

The Minister of Finance has decided not to proceed with the implementation of the proposal to reduce the remuneration threshold against which contributions to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) are calculated. This decision was taken after detailed engagements with the labour and business constituencies at National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC).

- [Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax Implications](https://amal.co.za/income-tax-and-capital-gains-tax-implications/): ON 03 SEPTEMBER 2015. With effect from 1 January, new rules were introduced in the Income Tax Act governing the tax consequences flowing from the reduction or waiver of debts. The amendments were prompted in response to the global financial crisis and the unusually large number of companies facing financial distress. The intention was therefore to establish a mechanism which facilitated debt reductions without creating an additional obligation to pay further tax. In terms of the amended provisions, it is important to identify the purpose for which the funds were borrowed. The reason for this is that if the debt was used […]

In terms of the current Companies Act, companies and CCs can be deregistered for administrative reasons (in the vast majority of cases for not lodging annual returns and paying annual duty) and can apply to be reinstated. An anomaly exists in the Act in that it is not clear if reinstatement means that the decisions and actions taken by the company, while it was deregistered, are legally binding. This leaves the business and third parties unsure if the company and its directors are accountable for their decisions and activities after deregistration. The situation is important as 750,000 businesses […]
- [Are Audit Firm Consulting Services Detracting From Their Core Business](https://amal.co.za/are-audit-firm-consulting-services-detracting-from-their-core-business/): ON 30 DECEMBER 2016. Auditing firms have always inspired trust and integrity, but is their expansion into providing consulting services to clients posing a potential risk to audit quality and investor protection? King IV, and an even more rigorous call for adherence to corporate governance principles, puts these diversified services at odds with auditor independence, which are so core to the integrity of SA’s economy. Independent audits crucial to economy “Take for example the catastrophic investor losses in the US that were a result of Enron and WorldCom among others.

The past few years have seen the increased adoption of electronic documents by banks, private industry and Government. If you are “with it”, you probably get your bank statements, satellite TV and Telkom invoices electronically. If South Africa’s Draft Broadband Policy, published for comment in April 2013, is finalized and implemented, we are all going to be spending much more time transacting and interacting electronically. This is especially since the policy “advocates for the implementation of strategies to provide amongst others, e-health, e-education and e-government services to all citizens.” Whilst these developments are exciting, many will agree that […]
