In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
49. Nay, here are Signs self-evident in the hearts of those endowed with knowledge, and none but the unjust reject Our Signs.
50. Yet they say, "Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The Signs are indeed with Allah, and I am indeed a clear warner."
51. And is it not enough for them that We sent down to thee the Book which is rehearsed to them? Verily, in it is Mercy and a Reminder to those who believe.
52. Say: "Enough is Allah for a Witness between me and you: God knows what is in the heavens and on earth, and it is those who believe in vanities and reject Allah, that will perish."
53. They ask thee to hasten on the Punishment: had it not been for a term appointed, the Punishment would certainly have come to them, and it will certainly reach them- of a sudden, while they perceive not!
54. They ask thee to hasten on the Punishment: but of a surety, hell will encompass the rejecters of Faith!
55. On the Day that the Punishment shall cover them from above them and from below them, and shall say: "Taste you of your deeds!"
56. O My servants who believe! Truly spacious is My Earth, therefore serve you Me!
57. Every soul shall have a taste of death: in the end to Us shall you be brought back.
58. But those who believe, and work deeds of righteousness- to them shall We give a Home in Heaven: lofty mansions which flow rivers, to dwell therein for aye- an excellent reward for those who do!
59. Those who persevere in patience, and put their trust in their Lord and Cherisher.
60. How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance? It is Allah who feeds them and you, for God hears and knows.
61. If indeed thou ask them who has created the heavens and the earth, and subjected the sun and the moon, they will certainly reply, "Allah". How are they then deluded away?
62. Allah enlarges the sustenance to whichever of God's servants God pleases: and God grants by measure, for Allah has full knowledge of all things.
63. And if indeed thou ask them who it is that sends down rain from the sky, and gives life therewith to the earth after its death, they will certainly reply, "Allah!" Say: "Praise be to Allah!" but most of them understand not.
The Spider 29:49-63
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Signs are indeed with Allah, and I am indeed a clear warner.
Enough is Allah for a Witness between me and you: God knows what is in the heavens and on earth, and it is those who believe in vanities and reject Allah, that will perish.
Praise be to Allah!
Evidence and Signs of God are everywhere. This is clearly perceived by those who have a balance of intelligence, wisdom, and emotion. Unbelievers reject evidence of God, then ask for more evidence. Again we are taken to the concept of evidence: what is it that these people want to see, in their convincing?
The Qur'an and its practise thereof is Evidence of God. But it is insufficient evidence for those who disbelieve. Why? Humans believe only what they want to believe. What most humans want is money, power and lust. These things are vain (futile) to the dead, that's why they are referred to as vanities. 70 or so years of human life is insignificant to the lifespan of the universe. Are you going to bury yourself with that statuette, that car, and that whore?
God speaks of Punishment, and the unbelievers say, "Hurry up and bring it on!" Most people are in a hurry, most of the time to get nowhere. Just ask any cop that. In verse 29:53, God states that the Punishment has been prepared for them. Since what most people care about is getting things now, they get complacent when nothing happens immediately. And that's when they get screwed, is when they become complacent. God knows this, and warns us of this, but of course we only begin to understand when we get screwed. Evidence!
This also demonstrates the time-bending capabilities of Allah: hell can also be hell on earth. Also, everyone will have a brief awareness of death before they die, and most of us will sink back into our vanities and our complacency.
Many humans strive for "security". To be able to keep the stuff they worked for, and to provide for their families. Security is in the care of God! A nice little meteor or tornado will wipe out that beautiful house. A heart attack will wipe out that nice job, and put your family on the streets. Most animals forage only for what is available at the moment. Even storekeepers like bees rely on what is available at the moment. God is the one who provides the moment, and what is available at that moment.
What is there to understand? We all rely on God! Be clueless of this, and pay the price. Pay now, or pay later... what's the difference? The good news is, that God rewards the faithful and the righteous. Now, or later, it is all the same to God.

Qur'an 20080115
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
59. Say: "Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen. Is better? Allah or the false gods they associate?"
60. Or, who has created the heavens and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight. It is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. God besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice.
61. Or, who has made the earth firm to live in, made rivers in its midst, set thereon mountains immovable, and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? God besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.
62. Or, who listens to the distressed when it calls on God, who relieves its suffering, and makes you inheritors of the earth? God besides Allah? Little it is that you heed!
63. Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before God's mercy? God besides Allah? High is Allah above what they associate with God!
64. Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? God besides Allah? Say, "Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!"
The Ants 27:59-64
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen. Is better? Allah or the false gods they associate?
Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!
Only God is self-sufficient, people are not. People need each other for trade and nurturing, and above that people need God for innumerable sustenance, large and small. While humans till the soil and plant the seed, they are not the ones to create the soil and cause the seed to grow. Neither can they make the sunlight nor the rain.
God is the one who provides sustenance and guidance to whomever God pleases. Whoever God wills to save and protect, no one can harm. To associate others with God is a distorted way of thought, ignorant, apathetic and just plain small-minded.
When humans are in trouble, and at the end of their resources, they find themselves praying for mercy. Who do they pray to? Only God listens the ones in trouble, and changes their condition for the better. Unhappily, when most humans are free from suffering, they forget God, and absorb themselves in themselves.
There is only one God,and we all rely on God, even for the smallest things.

For my wife Claudia
Yes, you are a star, and I am here to help you keep your shine: you can even have some of my shine! While you are my boss, let's not forget that God is The Boss, and God doesn't like egos. Please know that I am not the only one who loves you, and depends on you.
The goal my love, is for us to get together and please God. You are a beautiful soul, aren't you? Let's try to keep the people, and be compassionate. Sure, there are a lot of crooks out there, but let's try to keep our family, the people we love.
Anyhow, you have that beautiful house in England which you worked so hard for. Don't give it up! Then you have all your previous business engagements. Keep the family, and the ones that come to you! Travel only when absolutely necessary- travel is much too dangerous nowadays, especially for one as precious as you! Why? You are now part of a tourist attraction.
It is not a blessing to be idolized, because it angers God. You need to remember this when you conduct your business. Defer all glory to God. I was serious about our doing a stage show together... you can lip-sync and wear pretty clothes, and I can make music, and sit on the floor somewhere on stage. Why is this plausible?
About 3 years ago, God put the voices of some dead women in my head. Today, I am able to sing Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter, and Billie Holiday quite accurately. That, and Doris Day, too. There are fans of all ages across the globe who love these women. Their voices are so beautiful, people would believe it better if you were onstage with me, because you are beautiful, and I am modest, InsyaAllah. And we can be onstage together because we're married. Also, I have original music.
The purpose is to attract people to you: England in summer,Tempe in winter. People flocking in from all over the world. They went on vacation to see the show. To hear these women come back to life, by the grace of God. To see you strut around in pretty clothes. To rock out to Shadowplay. And as a bonus, they get to see the Big Ben and the Grand Canyon.
The target audience is average, God-fearing people, so you must market modest clothes and fashion designers. Create a real estate zone of family, and people you trust (it's harder for me to do so here in Tempe, because you are all my family besides Malaysia.) Build a concert zone, a concert zone that is built like a mall, or shopping complex. This real estate zone should include sets and virtual worlds for your patrons to visit, and for your acting bug . Remember, cut down on all travel, my precious beauty!
Begin with Japan, China and Karen Carpenter, with a little bit of Sailor Moon... not too much! Put marketing in all other countries besides UK and USA on hold for now. Let businesses from said countries bid for property in your real estate zone, then market in those 4 countries. Sell vacation packages!
I will need clone singers. 4 women, each assigned to sing Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter, Billie Holiday and Doris Day, respectively. Why? Recruiting these women is excellent promotion, then they can do touring and promotion once selected. Also, you got backup if something happens to me.

Qur'an 20080104
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
71. And whoever repents and does good has
truly turned to Allah with a conversion-
72. Those who witness no falsehood, and if they
pass by futility, they pass it with honor;
73. Those who, when they are admonished with
the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them
as if they were deaf or blind;
74. And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us
wives and offspring who will be the comfort of
our eyes, and give us to lead the righteous."
75. These are the ones who will be rewarded
with the highest place in heaven, because of
their patient constancy: therein they shall be
met with salutations and peace,
76. Dwelling therein- how beautiful an abode
and a place of rest!
77. Say: "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if
you call not on God, but you have indeed
rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."
The Criterion 25:71-77
__________________________________
Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who

My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call
not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and
soon will come the inevitable.
Human rejection of God occurs over and over
again, this is taught repeatedly in the Qur'an.
The end result is the destruction of entire
populations.
Here God states some of the characteristics of
those who will be delivered to heaven, after the
short stay on earth.
God also instructs the believers to warn the
unbelievers, that God acknowledges their
rejection of Faith, that the rejection has no
effect on God, and soon the unbelievers will get
the convincing that they asked for.
Merciful.

Qur'an 20080102
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
54. It is God who created man from water: then has God established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has Power.
55. Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is a helper against his Lord!
56. But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.
57. Say: "No reward do I ask of you but this: that each one who will may take a path to his Lord."
58. And put thy trust in God who lives and dies not, and celebrate God's praise, and enough is God to be acquainted with the faults of God's servants.
59. God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne. The Most Gracious: ask thou then about God, of any acquainted.
60. When it is said to them, "Adore you the Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is the Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which thou commandest us?" And it increases their flight.
The Criterion 25:54-60

From now on there will be no more ads on this blog. There will be some ads on the website, but that's because it is a music website. May Allah forgive me for my shortcomings.
God is the one who gave me my family, and protects us, if God wills. I put my trust in Allah. That makes Allah my first Boss, and my wife my second boss. Praise Allah!
But people worship idols and fictitious characters besides God, and create actions and words to bring God down. God gives Magnificence, but when these people are invited to God, they question God's Glory, they question the invitation, then retreat in soul, body and mind before receiving any glory!
