No, it is not my intention to push the envelope when it comes to Islam. I'm just trying to get by the best I can until Judgement Day. I'm not creating a new following, or any new teachings. Rather, I'm a follower, not a leader. My leader is prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), and my "ambition" as a Muslim is to master the Qur'an, in action as well as verse. I'm not trying to write any new religious books, or gain any sort of name/rank as a scholar. I'm a musician.
And an old one, at that. I still can't get to the point where I can play the drums everyday, even when I had my own set I wasn't able to do that. Now my fingers hurt from playing the drums yesterday. I'm not the competitive type either. I avoid music contests like I avoid parties. I just want to please Allah with music, and to create music that I can listen to without cringing. It's not easy!
As for you, I want to be your mate, and to watch over you as we work. It's fine with me if I follow you around while I do my work, but sometimes you may have to follow me around. Then, we will place much pressure on our children if we stay in motion. Please think about that. I understand that all this Islam is a trial for you, but it is also a blessing. Just do the best you can with what Allah gives you. Peace, and blessings of Allah be upon you. Assalamu'alaikum.

Qur'an 20110715
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
158. Say, "O mankind! I am sent unto you all, as the messenger of Allah, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no god but God. It is God that gives both life and death. So believe in Allah and God's messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and God's Words. Follow him, that you may be guided."
The Heights 7:158

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Letter to Julia 20110714
YOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!
Hello my beloved sweet Julia, how are you feeling? Again, I apologize for not writing as often as I used to. Never that I love you less, rather, I can only love you more once we know more about each other. Yes, we have yet to know each other! You do remember that I didn't know you before: you were recommended for me. So, in essence, we have a pre-arranged marriage. But how could I not love you, because you are all that I could ever want in a girl, and you are MY girl!
I hope you are not planning on inviting Claudia to our wedding. I certainly am not inviting her, and I definitely don't want to see her at our wedding. Perhaps you mean to be nice, or political, or whatever. But don't. Don't invite her to our wedding, not even to gloat. Don't do it. YOU are my girl, so I don't want to see her, not even accidentally.
Anyway, I'm just biding my time, trying to go as slowly as possible. You should realize this by now, that time is the most valuable commodity for people like us. I'm just letting Allah take care of me, I put my trust in Allah. What's the worth of running oneself into the ground as quickly as possible, in a rat race? Yes, you are already caught up in your flow, it's hard to stop and take a breath. That's why the prayers are so important, for it forces your bosses to let you stop for a while, no matter when and what. This envelope can be pushed to its extreme repercussions, so they had better not give you grief about your Islam. Anyway, when we're together (insyaAllah), we had better do what it takes to spend as much time as possible with each other: you will find it to be more profitable than you imagine. We had best synchronize our work and our schedules to fit each other in.
It is not my intention to push the envelope. I just want to be married to my Julia, and make love to her 24/7, well, as often as possible 24/7... I don't want to mess up your expensive clothes, well, you are rather sexy in beautiful clothes, I might not be able to help myself. If I follow you to work, I had better bring my office along to keep me busy. But how can I concentrate with Julia looking so delicious?
