Letter to Julia 20120730

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

Hey Julia.  My dearest love.  The nights are still hot right now.  But I do so love the fasting month, more than I like the Eid.  I would like to tell you about my family.  My Dad is/was one of the first private lawyers in Perlis.  My Mom is a retired teacher.  I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.  I'm the recluse of the family.  Perlis is the home state of my mother, so she is the one with the deepest roots here.  More?

I've been analyzing these Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows, and I've figured out who your main rival for the position of Boss Model is.  I'm all for you!  My Julia!  Go Julia!  Everyone send in your vote for Julia to be Boss Model at Victoria's Secret right now!

Oh yes, I need to remind you to please keep measurements and scales to fit your comfort when designing a home.  Like doorways, table tops, kitchen counters, cabinets, drawers, toilet seats, etc should all be made to fit your height.  I'm sorry my dearest, I love you with all my heart, but I don't have a house plan yet.  I can't draw, and so many wacky, I mean strange things are happening to me right now, I have to pay attention in order to react properly.  Don't worry my love, my primary concern is for your happiness, and I actually like to sleep on the floor.  Also don't forget to add a huge dose of patience to whatever you're doing around here.  After all, you are Mrs. Global.

P.S. Thank you for your love.

Qur'an 20120730

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

61. But Allah will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve.

62. Allah is the Creator of all things, and God is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.

63. To God belong the keys of the heavens and the earth, and those who reject the Signs of Allah- it is they who will be in loss.

64. Say, "Is it someone other than Allah that you order me to worship, O you ignorant ones?"

65.  But it has already been revealed to you, as it was to those before you, if you were to falsely worship, truly fruitless will be your work, and you will surely be in the ranks of those who lose.

Crowds 39:61-65

I would like to thank Allah for the Qur'an, the music, for all the knowledge and bounty, for being my Saviour and my only Friend during the times of darkest danger.

I would like to thank the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for being my leader, and distracting others from paying too much attention to me.

I would like to thank Julia for her love.

I would like to thank my parents for their love and patience.

I would like to thank my friends and family and the righteous people at the masjid.
