Islamic Contracts

My future landlords are very kindly allowing me to move in to their duplex tomorrow, even though I won't be able to pay them until next week. Cash transfers between Pakistan and the US take about a week -- add that to the week it took me to open a bank account with Standard Chartered (grrrr...) and my funds are a bit behind schedule.

Oddly, the standard contract I'll be signing for the duplex says I'm a Muslim. It's one of the quirks of living in an Islamic republic -- anything remotely legal touches upon one's religion. I suspect being a religious minority here is hell - I'm only able to rise above it by virtue of my (relative) wealth and position.
