Letter to Julia 20140628


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

Hi there, my most precious Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today, my beautiful wives?  The most beautiful girls in the world.  You are MINE, MINE.  I pray you are feeling great, and on top of the world.  If you're planning to fast Ramadan, make sure you voice the intention to fast in your heart the day before by saying, "I hereby fast tomorrow the month of Ramadan of this year, for the sake of Allah, the Most High."  This must be done before they call the dawn prayer.  Then at sunset, it is recommended that you break your fast with a couple of dates or plain water, and say this incantation: "My thirst is quenched, my throat moistened, my fast is completed and I have received the reward, if Allah wills."  Again, when we are married inshaAllah, we will be fasting together, and it will be quite a social period.  I think it's great that I get to glorify Allah with music and thereby raise Islam over all religions while I'm still in this material world.  I'm only human though, and my time and strength is limited.  The inspiration has come to me, that your God is One God: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.

For dinner tonight is steak and oyster mushrooms.  Yes, it's tenderloin again, and oh so yummy.  I should have added more butter to the mushrooms for it turned out a little bitter, but nonetheless a perfect match with the sweetness of the steak.  Want some?  We're supposed to watch for the new moon before we start the first day of fasting, but it should be about Sunday.  I think I'll have a pizza before dawn on the first day.  Would you like to join me?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140628


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

103.  Say, "Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?"

104.  Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works.

105.  They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord, and the fact of their having to meet God.  Vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgement, give them any weight.

106.  That is their reward, hell: because they rejected faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers as a joke.

107.  As to those who believe and work righteous deeds, they have for their entertainment, the Gardens of Paradise.

108.  Wherein shall they dwell: no change shall they wish for themselves.

109.  Say, "If the ocean were ink to the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like to its aid."

110.  Say, "I am but a man like yourselves.  The inspiration has come to me, that your God is One God: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner."

The Cave 18:103-110
