Letter to Erin 20150928

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

Hi Erin.  How are you today, Sweetie?  I'm sure you are busy from now to the end of the year with the holiday shopping season, so please get sufficient rest and eat properly.  You probably don't have much time to work out, but try to do a little anyway.  I did my workout today even though I hurt my elbows the day before, but I didn't have much problem doing my push ups.  I guess I can get back to playing bass tonight.  It's been raining here since the afternoon prayer, so I'm writing this letter earlier than I usually do.  I can't do anything outside when it rains, so I cleaned my bedroom instead.  No cooking either, because I have too many leftovers.  So I'll just kick back and watch TV.  I want you to have fun with your work, and be assured that I love you.  And I need you.  Take care, OK?

Qur'an 20150928

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

20.  Say, "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with God anything."

21.  Say, "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."

22.  Say, "No one can deliver me from Allah, nor should I find refuge except in God."

23.  Mine is only to convey what I receive from Allah and God's messages.  For any that disobey Allah and God's messenger, for them is hell: they shall dwell therein forever.

24.  At length, when they see that which they are promised, then will they know who it is that is weakest in helper, and least important in numbers.

25.  Say, "I know not whether that which you are promised is near, nor whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term."

The Jinns 67:20-25

I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with God anything.

It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct.

No one can deliver me from Allah, nor should I find refuge except in God.

I know not whether that which you are promised is near, nor whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.
