Letter to Julia 20141002

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

As you may have noticed, I chopped down one of the taller trees that was growing on top of the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  I had to stand on a ladder to chop it down, but it was leaning over the old house, so I guessed if I stayed behind it, it would fall away from me.  It fell on top of the roof, but I was able to push it down onto the ground today with my left hand while on the ladder.  Alhamdulillah!  Trees are heavy objects.  You should try chopping one down.

I've been having a craving for good old chicken wings, so I bought some chicken wings, chicken breast and liver at the night market Monday.  Last night I downed a whole kilo of wings.  I forgot to make ranch dressing, but it didn't matter.  They went down fast.  I also made some chicken liver paté with onions and basil for my morning bread.  It was a success, but next down I'm going to chop everything as finely as possible.  Paté is great because you can eat it cold.  Wow, maybe I'll try some mackerel liver paté next.

I'm sure you both are very busy nowadays, so please make sure you eat properly, and get plenty of rest.  There's nothing like a lot of beauty sleep.  I want you to know that I always think of you, and I always pray for you, and that Allah will bring us together in marriage soon, and keep us together in love, security and happiness in this life as well as the Hereafter.  Please know that you are loved very much.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20141002

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

71.  And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with a conversion-

72.  Those who witness no falsehood, and if they pass by futility, they pass it with honor;

73.  Those who, when they are admonished with the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

74.  And those who pray, "Our Lord!  Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us to lead the righteous."

75.  These are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein they shall be met with salutations and peace,

76.  Dwelling therein- how beautiful an abode and a place of rest!

77.  Say: "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."

The Criterion 25:71-77
