Letter to Julia 20140219


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

And how are you coping with the mayhem, my beloved wives inshaAllah?  I love you, I love you.  I warned you that there would be mayhem.  But it's all so exciting isn't it?  If Allah protects us, then nothing can harm us.  It must be true that blondes have more fun.  I should bleach my hair blonde.  But I suppose I need to be serious.  So I'll keep my hair black.  Actually, I'm graying more and more.  I need to move slowly.  Oh so slow...  So please be good girls, maintain your prayers, and be patient.

I love you, I love you.

Qur'an 20140219


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

9.  If we give man a taste of mercy from Ourselves, and then withdraw it from him, behold!  He is in despair and blasphemy!

10.  But if We give him a taste of favors after adversity has touched him, he is sure to say, "All evil has departed from me."  Behold!  He falls into exultation and pride!

11.  Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness: for them is forgiveness, and a great reward.

12.  Perchance you may give up a part of what is revealed to you, and your heart feels straightened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down to him, or why does not an angel come down with him?"  But you are there only to warn!  It is Allah that arranges all affairs!

13.  Or they may say, "He forged it."  Say, "Bring you then 10 Surahs forged like it, and call whomsoever you can, other than Allah, if you speak the truth."

14.  If then they answer you not, know you that this Revelation is sent down with the Knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but God!  Will you even then submit?

15.  Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter, to them We shall pay their deeds therein, without diminution.

16.  They are those for whom there is nothing in the hereafter but the fire.  Vain are the designs they frame therein, and of no effect are the deeds that they do!

Hud 11:9-16
