Letter to Erin 20150110

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

Hi there, my beloved sweetheart Erin.  How are you feeling, my most precious darling?  I love you so much, and I want you to feel awesome.  I would like to mention how beautiful that dress was that you wore on New Year's Eve, and the matching trench coat was lovely too, and most of all how beautiful you were in those clothes.  Erin, you're a grown up now, and I feel you are more mature than you give yourself credit for.  More mature and intelligent than most people your age.  I want people to take you seriously, because you are MY girl.  I want you to start wearing a suit as often as possible.  No more plunging necklines, but a nice floral blouse, and garters and stockings to cover the skin of your legs.  How sexy is that?  Make sure the seams of your stockings aren't crooked!  I'm not there to help put your hair in an updo, but you just brush your hair well so there aren't any bumps then slick your hair back and ponytail it, perhaps wear a nice floral scarf.  Yeah, I want people to take you seriously, but I admit I have a fetish for a beautiful woman in a great suit.  Especially a dress with matching jacket.  Yum.  You may just inspire me to wear a suit all the time.

It's hard to gather one's emotions because we both think that we're really not anyone special, but God is the One Who gave us some advantage over other people.  But you must, you must protect your emotions, because there will be more and more people out to break your heart.  I wish I were with you.  There's something about you my dearest Erin, that I just want to baby and pamper.  But please have faith in my love for you, that I will not abandon you inshaAllah, but most of all have faith in God Who will bring us together, somehow.  As it is, I don't trust anyone here to bring you here, and to legalize our marriage: I'm going to have to complete all the procedures myself.  But I cannot travel: those are my orders.  You will have to come to me, so please plan your wedding entourage now, preferably your family.  Our wedding may still be some years away but when the time comes, we will have to start talking to each other.  That will be when I give you your ring, inshaAllah.  Please have faith in Allah, in our love, and be patient.  I love you, and I need you.

Qur'an 20150110

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

22.  Say, "Call upon others whom you fancy besides Allah.  They have no power, not the weight of an atom, in the heavens or on earth.  No share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to Allah."

23.  No intercession can avail in God's Presence, except for those whom God has granted permission.  So far that, when terror is removed from their hearts will they say, "What is it that your Lord commanded?"  They will say, "That which is true and just, and God is the Most High, Most Great."

24.  Say, "Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and on earth?"  Say, "It is Allah, and certain it is that either we or you are on right guidance, or in manifest error!"

25.  Say, "You shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as to what you do."

26.  Say, "Our Lord will gather us together, and will in the end decide the matter between us in truth and justice, and God is the One to decide, the One Who Knows all."

Sheba  34:22-26

Call upon others whom you fancy besides Allah.  They have no power, not the weight of an atom, in the heavens or on earth.  No share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to Allah.

Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and on earth?

It is Allah, and certain it is that either we or you are on right guidance, or in manifest error!

You shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as to what you do.

Our Lord will gather us together, and will in the end decide the matter between us in truth and justice, and God is the One to decide, the One Who Knows all.
