Letter to Julia 20131008

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

YOOOOOOLIIIIIEEEE!!!!

Of course I can sense how you feel all the way over here in my loneliness.  And it's not just soulmate bonding, it's also plain and simple logic.  If you feel unhappy, then I also feel unhappy, and angry at what makes you unhappy.  Don't you believe that I truly love you?  Can't you sense how deeply I care for you?  I admit that I can be obtuse sometimes, but not right now.  I love you, Julia.  Of course our circumstance is serious, and we have to be cautious, but you also have to be optimistic and faithful.  If you are in despair, that means you have no faith.  So put your trust in Allah, maintain your prayers, and always look for the positive.  You are MY girl, and I will marry you.  InshaAllah.

The same goes for you, Erin.  Did you think I couldn't sense that you were heartbroken?  But I have to think of both of you, and I was already promised to Julia, which effectively makes her the boss of this situation.  I'm sure you understand that.  But I do love you, and I want to hold you in my arms and comfort you, and I will marry you.  InshaAllah.  So you be positive too.  Don't go looking for just the bad things.  Be cautious, but be positive.  Put your trust in Allah, and pray.

And both of you, do not make friends with those who make fun and jokes of Islam, whether they be atheists, pagans, or otherwise.  Turn away from them.

Ouch.  I'm getting severe eye strain from looking at both of you.  My left eye is tearing up badly, so I have to pull my glasses so close to my face with hair ties, that my eyeballs touch the glass.  But I am so happy and grateful, you both are so beautiful, and I love you both with all my heart.  I probably won't be writing tomorrow.  I can't explain why in this blog, otherwise I'll get crowded out.  And I usually don't blog on Fridays and Sundays.  Please forgive me.

Qur'an 20131008

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

59.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us, and that which came before, and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

60.  Say, "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, by the treatment it received from Allah?  Those who incurred the curse of Allah and God's wrath, those of whom God transformed into apes and swine, those who worshiped evil: these are worse in rank, and far more astray from the even Path!"

The Repast 5:59-60

"People of the Book": the Qur'an is the Book too, right?  I assume this includes people who call themselves "Muslim".
