Letter to Julia 20120129

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

These major corporations simply have no regard for Allah. They consider Allah to be irrelevant to their day to day operations. Obviously they have no foresight whatsoever, and choose to participate only when it is most costly for them.

Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts may thus learn wisdom, and ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts. (The Pilgrimage 22:46)

Well, my mission stands, and I will stand my ground. I am to please Allah with music, and I am to stand my ground here in the Malaysian countryside. I may have failed to stand my ground in the USA though I gave it everything I got before I was ousted 3 months before the financial meltdown. But I intend to give it everything I have to stand my ground here, make my music base here, in a form that is creative and cutting-edge but not secular and disregarding to Allah. InsyaAllah, with the power of music, I will help empower the farmers, fishermen and small businesses over the bankers and the executives, the rural over the urban, and the clean environment over the pollution.

Qur'an 20120129

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

49. Say, "O humans! I am to you only to give warning."

50. Those who believe and work righteousness, for them is forgiveness and a sustenance most generous.

51. But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, they will be companions of the fire.

The Pilgrimage 22:49-51
