Letter to Julia 20110810

Oh, hi Julia! Are you staying busy, my dearest? Of course you are, as you are very popular! Well, there is no need to seek more popularity. I certainly don't do so, in fact I don't think that popularity even exists: there is only slander, and the reaction to slander. Like those people who bitch about the lousy dollar you occasionally give out as a donation: they whine because the dollar didn't go to them! So they become indignant! During this fasting month, I often partake of the food donations available at the local mosque. What if some charity had been exclusively for me? Regardless of my situation, there would be slander. And that slander would come primarily from the wealthy! I'm sure they even slander me for partaking some of the food donations that's available for everybody. What hypocrites, huh?

People like to find a reason to bitch anyway, that's imperfection for you. But we must be grateful with what Allah gives us, and make the best of it. Someone with global and spiritual connections who is as gorgeous as you would do best to hide her beauty, but you have to work. There can be no blame on you if you appear before your closest kinfolk, your female buddies, and your servants. Just put your fear in Allah, not in humans. Allah sees everything. You are my love, you are my love, you are my love, and I love you.

Qur'an 20110810

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

51. Say, "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. God is our Protector." And on Allah let the believers put their trust.

52. Say, "Can you expect for us other than one of two glorious things? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send God's punishment directly, or by our hands. So wait: we too will wait with you."

53. Say, "Spend willingly, or unwillingly. Not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious, and wicked."

54. The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are that they reject Allah and God's messenger, that they come to prayer without earnestness, and that they offer contributions unwillingly.

55. Let not their wealth nor their sons dazzle you. In reality, Allah's Plan is to punish them with these things in this life, and that their souls may perish in their denial of Allah.

56. They swear by Allah that they are indeed of you, but they are not of you. Yet they are afraid!

The Repentance 9:51-56

Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. God is our Protector.

Can you expect for us other than one of two glorious things? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send God's punishment directly, or by our hands. So wait: we too will wait with you.

Spend willingly, or unwillingly. Not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious, and wicked.
