Letter to Julia 20130806

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

How are you, my Julia?  I pray you are healthy and happy.  I've been making perfect tortillas lately, praise Allah.  So for breaking fast, I had some chicken wraps.  I stopped at the night market and bought some fresh chicken breast from these 2 boys, age about 7 and 12.  They said their dad left them there to mind the stall.  They sure chopped that chicken like pros, though.  I marinated the meat spicy teriyaki style, then pan fried it in butter until it just turned white.  Sliced it flat wise, and rolled it up in the tortilla with oyster mushrooms, fried onions, and tomatoes.  The wraps were FAT.  I made one for you, but you didn't show up for dinner.  So I ate it.  Sorry.  It won't keep in the cooler as a leftover.  Wish you were here with me.

Qur'an 20130806

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

119.  Ah!  You are those who love them, but they love you not, though you believe in the whole of the Book.  When they meet you, they say, "We believe," but when they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage.  Say, "Perish in your rage.  Allah knows well all the secrets of the heart."

120.  If aught that is good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some misfortune overtakes you, they rejoice at it.  But if you are constant and do right, not the least harm will their cunning do to you, for Allah compasses round about all that they do.

The Family of Imran 3:119-120
