In her reflections, she emphasized the need for judicial officers and legal practitioners alike to anticipate the ethical dilemmas emerging from technological advancement.

Through informal lectures and advisory sessions within her local community, she has helped demystify legal processes for ordinary citizens, particularly women. Her focus on family law, marital rights, and the protection of minors has made her a trusted voice in her community, empowering residents to resolve conflicts peacefully and access justice when needed.

To aspiring Muslim lawyers, her counsel is clear and dignified: “Always fear Allah in all you do. Apply the law with caution and conscience.” She believes that true professional success lies not in titles or earnings, but in the sincerity of service, fairness in judgment, and unwavering commitment to both faith and nation.
Message to Legal Community
To the broader legal profession, Senior Magistrate Hamza urges a collective return to discipline, professional decorum, and moral responsibility. She emphasizes that as artificial intelligence and other modern tools reshape the practice of law, practitioners must remain custodians of justice, upholding not just procedural correctness but the moral fabric of society. She calls on MULAN, the NBA, and judicial officers to lead this ethical recalibration, ensuring that legal innovation never outpaces conscience.
