Letter to Julia 20120328

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

My love, how I long for you and for our finally being with each other. Right now, I am striving towards our marriage with prayer and all that I can do, but we are so close to Judgement Day. The forces we deal with are so huge, so out of the range of our limited strength. We have no option but to survive on the Mercy of God. I have no more emotion or pity for any unbeliever, I am concerned only for our own faith, Julia. Please don't be too obsessed or fooled by all the materialism you encounter in your daily business: everything that is material will be crushed to dust eventually, including the things that we build. Our home, our love nest, our music and fashion empire, all goes back to Allah.

The Internet itself could be the Beast. Are the humans absolutely sure, in their arrogant daily machinations, that they are the ones in control of the machine? Is fiction like Skynet actually a building block of reality? Could awareness be "burned in" like a motherboard? No, the arrogant humans didn't create the Beast, though they may think they did. Allah makes the Beast out of the earth, and it will speak to them, as a Sign of Judgement Day. All this weather distortion and monsters is going to turn something working within mass media into a monster, among other things.

Ha... I don't want to talk of monsters here in this odd little love letter. I pray for a happy and normal marriage with my Julia amidst this imperfect world, amidst this monster of a situation we have to deal with, with each other. Oh, it's so entertaining! But we must slow it down, we must try to slow things down, Julia. Which is one reason why I love this little house: it's easier to maintain. Plus, I'm lazy.

Qur'an 20120328

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

91. For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, God Who has sanctified it, and Whose is all things. And I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam.

92. And to rehearse the Qur'an. And if any accept guidance, they do it for the good of their own souls. And if any stray say, "I am only a warner."

93. And say, "Praise be to Allah Who will soon show you God's Signs, so that you shall know them." And your Lord is not unmindful of all that you do.

The Ants 27:91-93

I am only a warner.

Praise be to Allah Who will soon show you God's Signs, so that you shall know them.
