Letter to Julia 20110609

Need I remind you not to join any ignorant discourses or conversations that babble on about Islam, and about us? Don't talk with them until they talk about something else. If you somehow forget, then walk away from them when you do remember. We don't have to carry their problems: we only need remind them to fear God.

Then there are those who, all they care about is having fun and making fun of things, and that is their religion. All they see is the life of this world, and are deceived by it. Enthralled by fame and wealth, and that is all they care about. Leave them alone, Julia. Every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own actions. This is so plain to see, buying themselves into addiction and destruction. The process may be longer for some than others, but the result is the same. Stubborn they are, and how short is life. For these, the only one to protect and to help them is Allah. But they are so stubborn, they don't want any help.

Qur'an 20110609

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

71. Say, "Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah, things that can do us neither good nor harm, and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? Like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, "Come to us", guiding him to the path?" Say, "Allah's Guidance is the Guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds."

The Cattle 6:71

Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah, things that can do us neither good nor harm, and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? Like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, "Come to us", guiding him to the path?

Allah's Guidance is the Guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds.
