Letter to Julia 20120301

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

Hi my Julia. You're so beautiful, and I love you. I hope you're not thinking about opening your own fashion house. It's not necessary! Running a business is very time-consuming, and soooo much work, and you already have so many friends who are doing such a thing, plus others who are more able to put in the work and the time. Slow down, my dearest! All you need to do is be beautiful, and you already are. You are so, very beautiful. You are my most beautiful beloved Julia, and I love you. Alhamdulillah.

Most certainly you have encountered skeptics and disbelievers who bark negativity at you, but that's what makes them so easy to identify. Maybe sometimes they use smooth voices and talk, but when they express or suggest opposition to God and our love, that's when you know to fight back at them with due strenuousness. It would be a much easier thing to do than agreeing with them, and more enjoyable at that. Allah commands us to slow down and be patient, while they tell us to hurry up. Don't ever forget the First Law of Mass Media: the audience wants to run you into the ground as quickly and as miserably as possible. Don't let them.
