Letter to Julia 20130814

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

Hi Julia, my beloved.  How are you feeling today, my heart?  I didn't think I had to come out and blog today, in fact I had other chores planned, but God took me by surprise, or perhaps I simply forgot.  I suppose I live day by day, even though I'm committed to an obvious routine.  It would certainly seem so financially at least, but it does run deeper than just money.  I'm a "go with the flow" kind of person.  I pray you are taking good care of yourself, my Julia.  Please eat properly, and get sufficient rest.  And please maintain your prayers.  When we are together in marriage finally inshaAllah, we will be praying together.

Qur'an 20130814

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

168.  The ones that say, while they themselves sit, "If only they had listened to us, they would not have been slain."  Say, "Avert death from your own selves, if you speak the truth."

169.  Think not of those slain in Allah's way as dead.  No, they live, finding their sustenance in the Presence of their Lord.

The Family of Imran 3:168-169
