Letter to Julia 20140210

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

Yeah, yeah, I know I have to replace my fuse box if Allah grants me all the stuff I asked for.  When I got back from blogging Saturday, Floofy came into the house with me, then proceeded to meow passionately at my fuse box.  Cats!  They think they know it all.  Ya Allah, please forgive me for asking a little more, but I also need a new fuse box for my home with extra outlets and surge protection, speaker and guitar cords, and drum heads.  I am dependent on Your mercy.

Little Floofy Ramadan is in heat right now.  She seems to have her eye on a handsome tomcat, he's slender with long legs and has brown fur with stripes on his legs.  He almost looks like a Savannah cat.  Floofy is awfully cute and coy with him.  She goes up to him, then backs off and crouches shyly.  They didn't like my watching, so I had to step away.  He seems to be a bit of a playboy though.  I saw him serenading my brother's cat a couple of days ago.  I thought at first that God sent Floofy to me to be a mate for Bat Cat, but she had no interest in him even though he was very interested in her.  Perhaps it's because poor Floofy was rather hammered when I received her, so she wasn't in the mood for mating.  She had broken teeth, missing whiskers and eyebrow hairs, covered in fungus and fleas, and she could barely walk.  Alhamdulillah, she's in much better shape now.  Batty since got bored with the females on the homestead and left home to be a wildcat.  He keeps out of sight nowadays and pretty much stays in the shadows, which is perfect for a black and white cat.   Anyway, Ya Allah, please grant me and Floofy beautiful and healthy kittens.

I beg you to please be patient with me and maintain your chastity in preparation for our marriage inshaAllah.  I assure you that I am doing the same for you, all I do is work for Allah and towards our goal, I have few or no friends, and I stay at home for the most part other than to go out and blog or shop.  My parents can bear testimony to this.  I love you, I love, and I long with all my heart for us to be securely and happily married.  Please pray with me that Allah grants us thus.

By the way, Muslims don't celebrate Valentine's Day.  I don't need one day a year to remind myself to love you.  I love you all the time, every day.

Qur'an 20140210

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

69.  Say, "Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper."

70.  A little enjoyment in this world!  And then, to Us will be their return.  Then shall We make them taste the severest Penalty for their blasphemies.

Jonah 10:69-70
----------------------------------------------------------

Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper.

Qur'an 20140209

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

52.  At length will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste you the enduring punishment!  You get but the recompense of what you earned!"

53.  They seek to be informed by you, "Is that true?"  Say, "Aye!  By my Lord, it is the very truth!  And you cannot frustrate it!"

54.  Every soul that has sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom.  They would declare their repentance when they see the Penalty.  But the judgement between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.

55.  Is it not that to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth?  Is it not that Allah's promise is assuredly true?  Yet most of them understand not.

56.  It is God Who gives life, and Who takes it, and to God shall you all be brought back.

57.  O humankind!  There has come to you a direction from your Lord, and a healing for that in your hearts, and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy.

58.  Say, "In the Bounty of Allah, and in God's Mercy: in that let them rejoice."  That is better than what they hoard.

59.  Say, "See you what things Allah has sent down to you for sustenance?  Yet you hold some things forbidden, others lawful."  Say, "Has Allah indeed permitted you, or do you invent to attribute to Allah?"

Jonah 10:52-59
----------------------------------------------------------

Aye!  By my Lord, it is the very truth!  And you cannot frustrate it!

In the Bounty of Allah, and in God's Mercy: in that let them rejoice.

See you what things Allah has sent down to you for sustenance?  Yet you hold some things forbidden, others lawful.

Has Allah indeed permitted you, or do you invent to attribute to Allah?
