Letter to Julia 20140616

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

Hello, my dearest Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today, my precious hearts?  I pray that you are feeling healthy and confident.  Erin sweetie, I hope I didn't offend you with my distorted cowboy accent.  I apologize, please forgive me if I did.  I wasn't pointing any fingers at you.  I was just having fun with ranch dressing, and trying to make you both smile because things have been too serious lately.  You sensitive little darling.  You're such a cutie.  Julia, you thought it was funny, right?  Oh, you're so business-minded.  You are truly a princess.  I love you both with all of my heart.  And I need you, I need you.  I've been trying to catch up on my grass cutting.  Grass grows so fast here in Malaysia.  So, my feet are hurting as usual.  And three's still a lot more to go.

Qur'an 20140616

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

21.  Thus did We make their case known to people, that they might know the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment.  Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair.  Said, "Construct a building over them."  Their Lord knows best about them.  Those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."

22.  Saying they were three, the dog being the fourth among them.  Saying they were five, the dog being the sixth, doubtfully guessing at the unknown.  Saying they were seven, the dog being the eighth.  Say, "My Lord knows best their number: it is but few that know them."  Enter not therefore into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear.  Nor consult any of them about the Sleepers.

23.  Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow,"

24.  Without adding, "So please, Allah!"  And call your Lord to mind when you forget, and say, "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer than this to the right road."

25.  So they stayed in their cave three hundred years, and add nine.

26.  Say, "Allah knows best how long they stayed.  With God is the secrets of the heavens and the earth, how clearly God sees, how finely God hears!  They have no protector other than God.  Nor does God share God's Command with any person whatsoever."

The Cave 18:21-26
