Letter to Julia 20131224

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

Hello my dearest Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today?  Busy, busy, busy?  I don't have much to say today, other than "I love you".  I'm longing for you as usual, so I'm trying to be patient, and I pray that Allah will grant me the wealth I need to give you a good and secure married life soon.  I'm just an old soldier, and there's never getting used to the strife.  But while I still have strength, then my strength is for you inshaAllah.  Please maintain your prayers, and ask Allah to bring us together in marriage soon.  I love you.

Qur'an 20131224

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

1.  They ask you concerning the spoils of war.  Say, "Such spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the messenger.  So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves.  Obey Allah and God's messenger, if you do believe."

2.  For believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear God's Signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put their trust in their Lord.

3.  Who establish regular prayers, and spend out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance.

The Spoils of War 8:1-3

Such spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the messenger.  So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves.  Obey Allah and God's messenger, if you do believe.
