Letter to Julia 20140913

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

I've said it many times before, that fame is not a blessing.  But I must not be ungrateful as to what Allah has given me, so whatever fame I have I return to Allah.  Let the people worship and fear Allah.  I doubt that you enjoy the downsides of fame, so remember: I am your husband.  I will help to protect you.  If the crowd irritates you, tell them "I am his wife inshaAllah."  Then send them my way, and I will refer them to Allah.  I will distract them away from you, inshaAllah.  I pray that you both will distract them away from each other.  But Allah is the Best to protect.  Please maintain your prayers.  Lower your gaze and guard your modesty.

Don't forget that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, settle down and raise a family.  So your career is at its peak NOW, before we officially marry.  Make the most of it, stuff your bank accounts, and don't waste.  After we marry inshaAllah, you may still conduct business, but no more travel.  Use your spare time to figure out how to diversify when you get older.  I suggest your making connections in the halal food business.  Do some commercials for food business.  Frozen dinners.  Beware of acting jobs.  The movie and TV business will never be as lucrative as it was before the advent of digital recording, but more dangerous.  So please avoid that.  All you have to do is be beautiful, and you are.  You are so very beautiful.  You are the most beautiful girls in the world.  You are my Julia and Erin.  You are my wives, you are MINE, MINE.  Never forget that you are loved, no matter what some people may say or behave.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.
