Question 1: What are some reasons stated in the article why some people choose to have body art like tattoos or piercing done on parts of their body .
They would want to be different from others and they would want to show people how they feel and also stand out in crowd.Question 2: (a)What are some impressions you would from a person form of a person whose body is covered in tattoo ?
I feel that each and everyone of ask have different mindset of tattoos.For me tattoos are describes as art.It is so fashionable to have tattoos nowadays , so i would think i should respect everyone who has tattoos and not give negative feedback's as i feel that it is not wrong to have tattoos.But if i were to see it as a point of view as an Islam , i would say it is wrong as“Islam explain that excesses in beautifying oneself when it alters the physical features that Allah created him with. The Glorious Qur'an considers such alterations as inspired by Satan, who "...will command them to change what Allah has created.
Tattooing is one of those excesses. The Messenger of Allah is reported to have cursed the tattooer and the tattooed.
Tattooing permanently disfigures the face and other parts of the body with colored pigment and repulsive designs. The pain and agony that the person experiences from the needles piercing skin add to these images. Because of all of this, both the tattooer and the one who is tattooed have been cursed.”(b) Would you consider getting a tattoo in the future ? Why ?
I would not have a tattoo as i have stated above what Allah feel of a person who has a tattoo.What more , i am a Muslim so i should treasure and respect my own religion.Even if i am not a Muslim i would not have a tattoo as it is so fanatic of me to be so driven to the trend and fashion.I feel that people will look down on me when i am in the crowd and the people would likely give negative remarks and it would be hard for me to secure good jobs as the people will feel that i am a bad person from the cover

Question1: State any two reasons mentioned by students why extra tuition is necessary.There was a student who mention that it will help to cope them with difficulties in the subject they face
Some feel that tuition will help them be more focus towards the subject they have difficulties in.
Question 2 ; Do you think it is necessary for you to have tuition? why?
I feel that tuition is not necessary in some extend as there is also the advantages and disadvantages of having tuition.The advantages is that we will be guided by someone that will help us overcome our difficulties and we will somehow do well than the others.The disadvantages is that our parents will have to work hard to pay for the increasingly tuition fees.With the economic downturn that has put an impact on everyone.Thus,i feel that if we could afford it....it could be a secondary option for the parents to help their children to do well in school.For my own preference,i would still prefer to not take up tuition as i have experience having tuition before.i felt that studying with a tutor in front of you is so uncomfortable as he/she would stare at us doing the sum.Studying myself has help me build up my own confidence and it has made me understand on how to be discipline to my self.Another factor in the trend is that this typical parents in Singapore are so influence by their friends , who will give compliment of their children doing well in school because of this tutor.Thus,this people will follow suit to and they will hire a tuition for their children. For my own point of view,this will only happen to a typical uneducated people as they do not understand the negative side of having tuition.

Question 1: What are some consequences which a girl might face for engaging in casual sex ?
Firstly the girl would be contracted with sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea.
Question 2 : What are some of your reactions after reading this article ? If one day , a close friend of yours confess to you that she has been engaging in sex , what would you advice to her be ?I feel that this world has been infested with human that is wild and more likely brainless. .In my point of view as an islam i feel that this should not be happening to the malay girl which has stated in the article.She herself does not has pride and i do not respect her as a muslim girl as she should know whats right and wrong in having a casual sex before she is married.IT seems she is not aware of the consequences as the islamic law(shariah) describe sexual relations outside of marriage are a major sin in islam and the shariah commands very strict punishment for this offense.
(024:002)
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
however, the punishment can only be handed down if there are four eye witnesses to the sexual intercourse. in practical terms unless the woman (and man) was involved in a public display of indecency it is impossible to punish her legally. the wisdom of the ruling is that islam punishes a social evil. if two people are involved in sin but they limit the harm to themselves then god alone will be their judge on the day of judgment. however, when their sins begin to effect the society they are held accountable both in this world and the hereafter.
accusing somebody of fornication or adultery is not a light matter. slandering the reputation and honor of members of the society is again a grave sin. the quran says about those who slander (without evidence):
(024:004)
And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-
these are the legal ramifications.
if you are interested in consequences in the afterlife. how will god judge these people? god says in the quran:
(020:082)
"But, without doubt, I am (also) He that forgives again and again, to those who repent, believe, and do right, who,- in fine, are ready to receive true guidance."
(004:048)
Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.
and finally:
(012:087)
truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith.
while a person is alive there is always a chance to repent sincerely and earn god's forgivenss. and he is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
allahu alam (god knows be.If my friend were involved in engaging sex before.i would advice her to seek a counselor and if she is a muslim,i would ask her to do taubat nasuha as desricebe in the Al quran.
