Qur'an 20080323

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

20. To any that desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give increase in his tilth, and to any that desires the tilth of this world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot in the Hereafter.

21. What! Have they partners who have established for them some religion without the permission of Allah? Had it not been for the Decree of Judgement, the matter would have been decided between them. But verily the wrongdoers will have a grievous Penalty.

22. Thou will see the wrongdoers in fearon account of what they have earned, and that must fall on them. But those who believe, and work righteous deeds will be in the luxurious meads of the Garden. They shall have from their Lord, all that they wish for. That will indeed be the magnificent bounty.

23. That is whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to God's servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin." And if anyone earns any good, We shall give him an increase in good thereof, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Ready to Appreciate.

24. What! Do they say, "He has forged a falsehood against Allah?" But if Allah willed, God could seal up thy heart, and Allah blots out vanity, and proves the Truth by God's Words, for God knows well the secrets of all hearts.

25. God is the One who accepts repentance from God's servants, and forgives sins,and God knows all that you do.

No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin.

I love and miss my parents, and my wife Claudia. I have no children- my whole life has been about music: Allah has given me a lot of music. The music, as with all inspiration, could be taken away by Allah at any given moment.

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Multiverse.
