حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ، يَقُولُ‏: ‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ، وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ، وَلاَ بِالأَبْيَضِ الأَمْهَقِ، وَلاَ بِالآدَمِ، وَلاَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ، وَلاَ بِالسَّبْطِ، بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعَرَةً بَيْضَاءَ‏.‏ Anas ibn Malik (ra) reports: “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was neither very tall of stature, nor short.

Whose Islam is the best (Who is the best Muslim)?

CHAPTER 3: Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (r.a) :The Prophet (s.a.w) said, " A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all that Allah 'Azzawajalla has forbidden. [B:10]

Oct 2024 - Week 1 Analysis.

Good morning, friends. In last night’s session, I shared in detail the current challenges faced by the United States and China. Starting this Tuesday, not only will China resume trading after the holiday, but the U.S. will also release the CPI, PPI, and the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting. Additionally, major banks like JPMorgan will announce their latest earnings, kicking off the earnings season. In particular, after the release of the U.S. NFP data, senior Federal Reserve officials mentioned that if inflation in the U.S. proves to still be inadequately controlled, the anticipated rate cuts might be put on hold. This has largely fueled the short term rise of the U.S. dollar index. However, following the market’s opening today, both gold and Bitcoin prices continue to rise steadily. Gold is holding steady at $2,650, while Bitcoin has surged past $63,000. Under such divergent U.S. policies, there is a strong likelihood that these two assets will continue to ri...

Reasons for the Lack of Growth in the Malaysian Stock Market

Image
1. The surge in other global stock markets has attracted funds. Many of these markets are still at low levels, while the Malaysian stock market has already risen to a relatively high level. Funds tend to prioritize markets that are still at the bottom range. 2. The Malaysian stock market has a limited capital capacity of around 2 trillion, making it difficult for global funds to allocate assets. Additionally, institutional funds are mostly concentrated in large cap stocks, making it difficult to adjust portfolios. The only option is to shift their focus.

Analysis of Investment Strategy After Fed Cut Rate

Image
When the U.S. begins to cut interest rates, it typically indicates a shift in monetary policy towards easing, aimed at stimulating economic growth or countering an economic slowdown. This change in policy can significantly impact global financial markets, including the Malaysian stock market. To understand this better, let's consider some current hot topics in the Malaysian market. Firstly, a U.S. rate cut often leads to a weaker U.S. dollar, which may cause the Malaysian ringgit to appreciate against it. This situation can be advantageous for import-oriented businesses , especially those that rely on importing raw materials, as their cost pressures may be alleviated. For instance, Malaysia's construction industry has been recovering recently due to government initiatives pushing various infrastructure projects. If the U.S. dollar depreciates, the cost of importing raw materials will decline, enabling construction companies to manage their costs more effectively. Moreover...

Stock Market Analysis - August 2024

Stock Market Analysis - iFAST US Fed Chair Powell gave a clear signal of a rate cut at the Jackson Hole meeting, making a September rate cut almost certain. In his speech, Powell focused on the labor market, noting that the risks to U.S. employment have increased. He said the Fed does not want or welcome further cooling of the job market, and it's time to adjust policy. While continuing to work towards price stability, the Fed will do everything it can to support a strong labor market. On inflation, Powell said that the risk of rising inflation has decreased and expressed stronger confidence that inflation will fall back to the 2% target. His comments on Friday nearly marked the end of the Fed’s historic fight against inflation. This indicates that the Fed is ready to cut rates and that its monetary policy has shifted from just fighting inflation to balancing both inflation and employment stability. Powell mentioned in his speech that the chances of the U.S. achieving a soft la...

What impact will tonight’s Federal Reserve interest rate decision have?

In the early hours of tonight, the Federal Reserve will announce its latest interest rate decision. While the probability of a rate cut is extremely low, the key focus for global investors will be how strongly the Federal Reserve's monetary policy statement signals a future willingness to cut rates, as this will be a major determinant of investor sentiment. The Federal Reserve’s decisions impact not only bank investments but also currency exchange rates, gold, crude oil, and other commodities, which are of significant interest to investors. Many questions about U.S. monetary policy arise frequently, but due to the complexity of the subject, it cannot be fully addressed in a single discussion. Recent conversations have revealed that the primary concern for many investors remains stock selection. A large number of investors hold junk stocks or warrant investments, which, even if they offer no returns, tie up funds. However, most junk stocks and warrants typically lead to the comple...

Share Analysis

Good evening everyone, it's time for the late trading review. Let's first focus on the international perspective. Nomi Prins, a former senior fellow at the Demos think tank, highlighted growing concerns about the Federal Reserve's ability to manage inflation effectively. She stated, "The Fed cannot control inflation, whether it's above 2%, slightly below 2%, or at 3% or 4%. The Fed cannot actually influence supply and demand, geopolitical events, or other external factors driving inflation." This perspective underscores the increasing skepticism among economists regarding the effectiveness of the Fed's current strategy in managing inflation amidst complex global factors. The Federal Reserve remains far from "easing monetary policy." Despite the fact that price pressures have eased from near double-digit highs in several advanced economies over recent years, numerous households and businesses continue to experience significant financial str...
