• The first car in the world was built in 1885 by Benz, and it was only 35 horse power. Nowadays, the average is 250 horsepower. The Benz car was very ugly because they didn’t concentrate on making it visually appealing. However, today, people usually will not buy an ugly car. If you buy a car, what are your standards? If the car was not visually appealing, but it was powerful and reliable, would you buy it ?

• In Islamic law you can not adopt a child as your child and put his/her name under your name, but you can take care and allocate money each month to cover his/ her living expenses, treatment, and study.

• If a country adopts laws that allow foreign product to be sold in its country, they can earn the tax; however, it can also influence their native product sales.
