Letter to Julia 20140206

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

So it seems that there are a few people who are willing and available to call the prayer now, so I withdraw my commitment to call the Dhuhur and Asr prayers during the weekdays.  I only made that commitment because Allah killed off one of the regular volunteers, and there wasn't anyone calling some of the prayers.  I could do it, so it became mandatory for me to do so.  But I am a loner, and a lazy one at that.  Of course it's better to pray with the congregation, and when we are married inshaAllah we will do so, especially during Ramadan, and whenever we have to go out and do something.  It would be faster to pray on the go, than to wait to finish prayers then go.  Don't you agree?

Also it would be useful for you to know that the official who is assigned to call the prayers is in line to be imam.  As you know, I cannot hold the rank of imam.  This is because humans are fanatical in general, particularly over entertainers, so I must avoid false worship.  Let it be clear that I am merely a follower of prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), so if people need to worship then they must worship Allah.

Qur'an 20140206

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

36.  But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against Truth.  Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.

37.  This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah.  On the contrary, it is a confirmation of what went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book, wherein there is no doubt, from the Lord of the Worlds.

38.  Or do they say, "He forged it"?  Say, "Bring then a Surah like unto it, and call anyone you can, besides Allah, if it be you speak the truth!"

39.  No, they charge with falsehood that whose knowledge they cannot compass, even before the elucidation thereof reached them.  Thus did those before them make charges of falsehood.  But see what was the end of those who did wrong!

40.  Of them, there are some who believe therein, and some who do not.  And your Lord knows best those who are out for mischief.

41.  If they charge you with falsehood say, "My work to me, and yours to you!  You are free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what you do!"

Jonah 10:36-41

Bring then a Surah like unto it, and call anyone you can, besides Allah, if it be you speak the truth!

My work to me, and yours to you!  You are free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what you do!
