Letter to Julia 20140729

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

You know, I'm quite used to being lonely.  It could be that I'm just a loner, but like anything else you get used to it, whether you like it or not.  God has been my only friend on countless occasions.  I've had glimpses of happiness like most people, but I don't know what happiness is.  Plus, I have to work everyday.  So I don't share the same attachment others have to public holidays.  And the Eid, for that matter.  I love Ramadan, but I'm not very sentimental about the Eid.  And Muslims don't celebrate Christmas.

I don't think it's the same with you.  You need your friends and your social circles, while I am promising you a family you can call your own, you will have to be the main power in making the Eid a sentimental occasion for our family.  It's not like you will have to abandon your friends, I'm just saying that I don't have many friends.  You could probably make new friends, however difficult that may be to find sincere ones while living in the public eye, being as beautiful as you are.  I'm trying to point out how helpful it is to each other, to have both Julia and Erin as my wives.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140730

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

1.  Closer and closer to humans comes their reckoning, yet they heed not, and turn away.

2.  Never comes to them of a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as a joke.

3.  Their hearts toying as with trifles.  The wrongdoers conceal their private counsels: "Is this more than a man like yourselves?  Will you go to witchcraft with your eyes open?"

4.  Say, "My Lord knows every word in the heavens and the earth.  God is the One that Hears and Knows."

The Prophets  21:1-4

My Lord knows every word in the heavens and the earth.  God is the One that Hears and Knows.

Qur'an 20140729

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

133.  They say, "Why does he not bring us a Sign from his Lord?"  Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of Revelation?

134.  And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said, "Our Lord!  If only You had sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Signs before we were humbled, and put to shame."

135.  Say, "Each one is waiting.  Wait you therefore, and soon shall you know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received guidance."

Ta Ha  20:133-135

Each one is waiting.  Wait you therefore, and soon shall you know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received guidance.
