Letter to Erin 20150113

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

So have you given much thought about your house?  I'm rather easy going.  I prefer small houses: the house I'm living in now is perfect for me, and I love this house so much.  That's because I've been alone all my life, and I'm a lazy slob.  But don't worry- I do house cleaning when I'm forced to, even though I loathe it.  As for your house, you would probably find me sleeping on the floor somewhere, in front of a computer.  The dimensions of the foundation that I gave you are modest, so you certainly can't build a mansion.  Just a normal sized house, for us and our children.  With all the modern amenities, especially backup power and water.  I would want the house to be easy to clean, perhaps with a flushing system that I can turn a lever and wash the house out with a single flush.  But it is YOUR house, so it has to fit you.  For example, the doorways have to at least allow you and your high heels to pass easily.  Everybody's short here, so you won't find such doors here: they would have to be custom made or imported.  The counter tops can be tall, I don't care.  I'll sit on a baby chair or something.

I told you before not to limit yourself to one product when it comes to your work.  Why don't you take the opportunity to learn more about houses as you work?  Those guys on "This Old House" sure know their stuff, but they're not pretty.  You would be a great asset in front of the camera, talking to homeowners.  Go ahead and give them a call, and help crank up their "hot babe" factor.  Anyway, please pray with me that Allah will bring us together and keep us together in love and happiness, in this life as well as the hereafter.  Erin, I love you and I need you.

Qur'an 20150113

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

46.  Say, "I do admonish you on one point: that you do stand up before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect.  Your companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible penalty."

47.  Say, "No reward do I ask of you: it is in your interest.  My reward is only due from Allah, and God is Witness to all things."

48.  Say, "Verily my Lord does cast the Truth.  God that has full knowledge of what is hidden."

49.  Say, "The Truth has arrived, and falsehood neither creates anything new, nor restores anything."

50.  Say, "If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul.  But if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me.  It is God Who hears all things, and is near."

Sheba  34:46-50

I do admonish you on one point: that you do stand up before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect.  Your companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible penalty.

No reward do I ask of you: it is in your interest.  My reward is only due from Allah, and God is Witness to all things.

Verily my Lord does cast the Truth.  God that has full knowledge of what is hidden.

The Truth has arrived, and falsehood neither creates anything new, nor restores anything.

If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul.  But if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me.  It is God Who hears all things, and is near.
