Letter to Julia 20130724

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

Whew!  It's been a very hectic Ramadan so far.  I seem to have less time than usual, and this morning I felt like I was in a trance.  I didn't want to be driving.  I don't really enjoy driving.  It puts me to sleep.  I have more time when I wake up early in the morning to eat.  So I can prepare food.  This morning I had fried noodles, with steak and oyster mushrooms.  You must be very busy.  I pray that Allah gives you great rewards for your worship.  I hope you aren't preferring the company of atheists and pagans just because you crave their friendship or business.  Perhaps you wish to please everyone.  The right thing to do is to make a stand, and please Allah.  Just like I have made a stand, and am committed to marrying you.  Perhaps you are in awe of them in some way, perhaps you think they are cool.  Actually, you are the cool one.  You are the one en vogue.  You are the one whom others crave the company of, inshaAllah.  Because you are MY girl.  You are the most beautiful girl in the world, and I love you.

Qur'an 20130724

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

28.  Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers.  If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah except by way of precaution, that you may guard yourselves from them.  But Allah cautions you Godself, for the final goal is to Allah.

29.  Say, "Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all.  God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things."

30.  On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil.  But Allah cautions you Godself, and Allah is Full of Kindness to those that serve God.

31.  Say, "If you do love Allah, follow me.  Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."

32.  Say, "Obey Allah and God's messenger."  But if they turn back, Allah loves not those who reject Faith.

The Family of Imran 3:28-32
---------------------------------------------------------

Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all.  God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things.

If you do love Allah, follow me.  Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.

Obey Allah and God's messenger.

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
