In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
18. And if you reject, so did generations before you. And the duty of the messenger is only to preach publicly.
19. See they not how Allah originates creation, then repeats it: truly that is easy for Allah.
20. Say, "Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation, so will Allah produce a later creation, for Allah has power over all things."
The Spider 29:18-20

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
It's always difficult to make chicken soup without bouillon, or chicken stock, and I didn't have any bouillon last night. You might think that salt would do the trick, but it's not that simple: the soup is either tasteless or salty, and not like chicken soup. Well, I didn't have a any bouillon for my chicken rice gruel, but I did have chicken. I always buy my white meat from chickens cut in half, and you need the bones for chicken soup, for it is bone marrow that gives soup its thickness. So I cut the chicken lengthwise parallel to the neck, and separate the rest to be used as white meat for sandwiches, or whatever. I marinated 2 portions of neck & ribs in salt and dry hot peppers, y'know the kind you put on pizza, then fried them up in a pot. Meanwhile, I had a cup of rice cooking in the rice pot with 4x extra water. My Mom has some chives growing in her yard, and I have some lemongrass in my yard, so I added them to the frying chicken with garlic and onions. When everything browned, I added the hot rice and water from the rice cooker. I then slow cooked the mix, separated the meat from the bones, and added salt until there was slight flavor, making sure to scrape the bottom when mixing. When it turned into gruel, it was ready to eat. With each bowl a soup, you add a thin layer of light soy sauce, and hot sauce. Don't stir it! Just scoop it up and eat it.
The oppression of humans is not the Wrath of God. We are instructed to fight oppression. Though fighting may seem overwhelming, is that not better than being overwhelmed by evil? Perhaps Allah will grant us a swift and easy victory. Certainly Allah knows who the hypocrites are. And don't follow unbelievers who say that they will help bear your burdens. How can they bear the problems of others with their selfish skepticism and lack of faith? That's illogical, and by their standards.
