Letter to Julia 20140205


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

The air was still yesterday morning, so I took the opportunity to do as much burning as possible around Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  There is still a huge amount of debris piled up, and I can't burn them all at once because the old house is too close by.  So I can only burn little by little.  I'm running out of burn spots, because I planted many fruit trees all over the place.

How are you feeling, my dearest?  How are those precious emotions?  How I long to hold you tight, and kiss your beautiful, soft lips.  And the rest of you, too.  I want you to stay positive and chaste, and take good, sweet care of yourself in my absence.  InshaAllah we will be married and together soon, so please be patient and pray.  I love you with all my heart.

Qur'an 20140205


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

31.  Say, "Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth?  Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight?  And who is it that brings out the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?  And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?"  They will soon say, "Allah."  Say, "Will you not then show piety?"

32.  Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer.  Apart from Truth, what but error?  How then are you turned away?

33.  Thus is the Word of your Lord proved true against those who rebel.  Verily they will not believe.

34.  Say, "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?"  Say, "It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it.  Then how are you deluded away?"

35.  Say, "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give guidance towards Truth?"  Say, "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards Truth.  Is then God Who gives guidance to Truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance unless he is guided?  What then is the matter with you?  How judge you?"

Jonah 10:31-35
----------------------------------------------------------

Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth?  Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight?  And who is it that brings out the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?  And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?

Will you not then show piety?

Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?

It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it.  Then how are you deluded away?

Of your 'partners' is there any that can give guidance towards Truth?

It is Allah Who gives guidance towards Truth.  Is then God Who gives guidance to Truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance unless he is guided?  What then is the matter with you?  How judge you?
