Letter to Julia 20120128

YOOOOOOOLIIIIEEEEEE!!!

Now, it's not as if I don't want to spend money on ingredients and dining out, and other things that make life pleasurable and meaningful to us and others. I'm just trying to be humble to Allah and the situation that I'm in, so I must not be wasteful. You also: please put your fear in Allah, be patient during hard times, maintain your regular prayers, spend accordingly, and never forget to say, " In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful" before you take the first bite of your food. Allah is most Generous to those who humble themselves to God.

Fame is not a blessing. It is unfortunate that we have to live our life and love in the public eye. Some say it is our choice, but that is not how I found you, as you were chosen for me. Some say we have been adequately compensated, but we are still unmarried and no richer than others. It is so important to conduct our life to please Allah, as opposed to pleasing humans. We don't belong to the public: we belong to Allah. Allah grants us the right to fight those who wage war on us, so don't you just lie back and be obsequious. Don't give in to them, Julia. I love you.
