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

Ah, it is a beautiful day, with a cool and overcast morning, I could pick cashews and tidy up my yard.  The cashews are ripening all at once, so I had to collect them and give them away.  It rained a little in the morning, but the afternoon was sunny.  And now the full moon is shining brightly, oh it is a beautiful moon!  The countryside is so beautiful, thank you for taking me out of the city, ya Allah.

We must learn to be grateful with what Allah gives us, if we are truly to master patience.  Patience and perseverance go hand in hand, and those who persevere is of course the last one standing.  And the last one standing is of course the winner.  Patience is from Allah, so please be glad of the ease that you do have, and be grateful that you are not out on the front line.  Please do not covet what others have and consider that as success, when it is possible that Allah has prepared something better for you.

There is much going on here, but no money for me yet.  Meanwhile, I have to stay busy, and be grateful that Allah put me in where I can nurture the music and be with my parents.  I sincerely believe that our marriage would be the purpose of your career, and that Allah will grant us success and happiness together.  Don't you agree that profitable work is scarce in the West?  The money has landed in Asia, but the power games and corruption is still the same as it ever was.  But no one knows what they will earn tomorrow, not you, not the billionaires.  We absolutely need the help of Allah if we are to attain success and happiness.  So please be patient and grateful with whatever stability you have, don't blindly crave advancement in the entertainment business, because it's rape, slavery and murder.  Please maintain your prayers, and ask Allah to resolve our love with prosperity and satisfaction.

Thank you for your love.
