Legal Views VS. Moral Views
السلام عليكم
The ultimate question is, -drums please-,..
... What would you do?
Let's just say you didn't dial 111 (or the emergency number in your country, e.g. 999, 000, 911), you didn't call for help, you didn't do anything.. You just walked or ran away because you thought you might be accused for some reason. The next day, everybody in that house were burnt to a fatal stage.
Now, on the legal views, you are not to be accused of anything, and you didn't do the wrong thing.
Now ask your heart, was it really the right thing to do? The answer to that is the moral point of view. I suppose the answer to the question asked previously, is NO. Who knows? If we just dialed 111, if we just called for help, if we just did something... The poor victims might still be alive.
So, I guess the conclusion, please take a moment to consider both views next time you see a house on flames (or, say... anything else happens and you're deciding the right thing to do). But do it quickly. :)

Peace be upon you, dear readers.
Okay, so, I've been reading some novels that relates to law aspects, and I thought, 'Hey, moral views and legal views are quite different.. Let's have a think about that on this blog'
-Excuse me while I'm thinking hard please c: -
First of all, what is 'legal'?
Legal means: according to law; not in violation of law; or anything related to the law.
Wiki says: Law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social institutions to govern behaviour, wherever possible.
What about 'moral'?
1. Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character: moral scrutiny; a moral quandary.
2. Teaching or exhibiting goodness or correctness of character and behavior: a moral lesson.
3. Conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior; virtuous: a moral life.
4. Arising from conscience or the sense of right and wrong: a moral obligation
Now, imagine this situation,
You are on the way home from somewhere, then you saw this random house on fire. There was no-one else around you.Okay, have you imagined that?
