I recently read a thread where people discussed Wise - some said good things - some not good.
They were usually good in the past - so I just used them for a 10KAUD transfer from Australia - it is going to take 2 effin days?? Time to start looking for another money exchange provider.
Islam does not give permission to any individual to kill a family or clan member based on his belief that the victim brought dishonour upon the family, clan, or community. Only the Islamic Court can carry out the punishments (hudood) set out by the Shariah. (See: Shaami 6/104, Darul Ma’rifa)

Can't get the figures to tie up. Curb new infections to 1,000 a year and deaths to 4,000? How can 4,000 die if only 1,000 infections. That may be the case now because of existing infections, but going forward it wouldn't make sense if infections are curbed at 1,000.it would also be a hell of an achievement based on recent statistics on new infections of 8,000, which they will try to reduce to 3,000 for the second half the year. So, there must be at least 6,000 for the full year. Good luck in reducing that to 1,000.
Agreed (though I think you meant - "an accident is something a driver doesn't have control over")
Referring to road incidents - especially single-vehicle collisions - as "accidents" is inaccurate and misleading.
We all know why...
Predictable Causes:
Most single-vehicle collisions are caused by identifiable and preventable factors such as:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving (e.g. mobile phone use)
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Fatigue
- Weather conditions ignored or mishandled
- Mechanical neglect (e.g. bald tyres, bad brakes)
These aren’t “acts of God” - they result from choices or failures in responsibility.
Human Error, Not Random Chance:
Single-vehicle crashes usually occur due to the driver's behaviour or failure to respond appropriately to the environment. That makes them collisions or crashes - not accidents. Using "accident" downplays the driver's responsibility.
Language Shapes Accountability:
Calling it an "accident" implies it was unavoidable - which can obstruct justice, blur responsibility, or reduce the perceived need for policy changes or education. That’s why terms like "crash" or "collision" are more accurate, or even 'incident'.
A single-vehicle road collision is can't be an accident (in most cases) because it's rarely unforeseen or unavoidable. It typically stems from driver decisions, neglect, or manageable conditions.
It's a crash, not fate. Calling it an accident dilutes accountability - a very common thing here.
