Letter to Julia 20120121

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the rejected.

I love YOU, and I want to marry YOU, Julia. Certainly I have been holding out for a few years, but do you think that I am so unfaithful that I wouldn't hold out until I keep the promise I made to you? No, it's not your fault, my beloved. You're just a girl.

Let's talk some more about my travel obligations while I'm still alive. I have committed myself to 3 more journeys in my life for my sake: Saudi Arabia for my hajj, Salt Lake City for my keeping the promise I made to the mysterious piano player, and Germany to get you. Any other travels to be made is for my wife's sake. So once we are married, I cannot allow you to travel alone, so I must accompany you. So whenever you travel, you will hold up whatever business I have created here, and depending on the level of influence of the music as Allah wills, the number of lives you put on hold whenever you choose to travel. Don't be cruel! Plan your trips formally and wisely! Anyway, I expect to be detained anywhere for whatever reason when I travel. Occupational hazard: people try to hold me down (listen to "Stone Free" by Jimi Hendrix). Ya Allah, please protect me and Julia.

The problem here is not conflict between nations. I say that businesspeople and artists from any country be free to work in Perlis as long as they show due respect to Allah and the local law. The issue is conflict between urban and rural, and this conflict is also separating this husband and wife, and the global spread of Islam that the marriage between music and fashion can for the glory of Allah. The city feels since it is the focus of population, then it is also the focus of culture. Well, I despise the city. I refuse to live there. So I will build my music base and the global culture thereof here in the Perlis countryside. The city need not fret. It still has its corruption, pollution, congestion and crime to make a culture of. I love the countryside. It's what makes Malaysia special. And may Allah deal severely with those who strive to separate husband and wife, and block the spread of Islam.

Qur'an 20120121

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

108. Say, "What has come to me by inspiration is that your God is One God. Will you therefore bow to God's Will?"

109. But if they turn back, say "I have proclaimed the Message to you all alike and in truth, but I know not whether that which you are promised is near or far."

110. It is God who knows what is open in speech, and what you hide.

111. I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of livelihood for a time.

112. Say, "O my Lord! Judge You in Truth! Our Lord most Gracious is the One whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies you utter!"

The Prophets 21:108-112
