Letter to Julia 20111126

High, my butterfly! Ah, my Julia. You are so pretty, and beautiful. You are all I could dream of in a girl. How I long for us to be together all the time and spend the rest of our life and afterlife together. Yeah, I think of you all the time, my precious. But I don't go looking for you, or for news for you. You know that. Who knows what bad news, or lies, I might find about you. It's better that I don't know, and nurture this pure, uncorrupted love that I keep in my fantasies and heart, until the day when Allah allows me the means to travel to you and get my answer face to face, or not at all, which means no, of course. For when that time comes, I will be prepared, insyaAllah.

Everyone has a second voice in their heads, a whispering that promises great rewards and glory, for acts of evil. Some may be confused as to whose voice it is. Since it is in my head, surely it must be there for a reason? Surely it must be my own voice, telling me what to do? Surely it must be my thinking? As I told you before, Satan swore long ago to destroy all humans. He and his minions represent themselves by that whispering in your thoughts that prod you to commit acts of evil, of arrogance, to convince you that the One and Only God is inferior to other beliefs, and that those thoughts are yours, when the thoughts only becomes yours after you succumb to them. So what thoughts are actually yours? The thoughts that compel you to think of goodness, of acts of goodness, of faithfulness, of humility. For God is all that is good, and God protects those who turn to God from the coaxing of evil. Don't let anyone ever convince you that God tells you to do acts of evil, God is only all that is good. The polarity is distinct, is black and white, there is no gray area. For when your thoughts and acts of good are even slightly corrupted, then you have succumbed to the whisperings of evil. And corruption is the majority, is the norm, is the conformity. Very, very few people are pure.

Qur'an 20111126

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

80. Say, "O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and grant me from Your Presence an authority to aid."

81. And say, "Truth has arrived and falsehood perished, for falsehood is bound to perish."

82. We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe. To the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.

83. Yet when We bestow Our favors on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side, and when evil seizes him, he gives himself up to despair!

84. Say, "Everyone acts according to his own disposition, but your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."

The Night Journey 17:80-84

O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and grant me from Your Presence an authority to aid.

Truth has arrived and falsehood perished, for falsehood is bound to perish.

Everyone acts according to his own disposition, but your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way.
