Letter to Erin 20160119

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

Oh, don't worry so much.  It's a crazy job, but someone has to do it.  And you're so nice and sweet, you worry too much.  Just be cool, and be patient.  Please pray.  It turns out that we are the best qualified for what we do because Allah has chosen us to do it.  So be grateful to Allah.  Glory be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

That chainsaw I just got didn't want to start when I tried it out yesterday.  I hurt my shoulder pulling on that thing.  So my Dad took me to the guys who sold it, and it turned out that the choke is very sensitive, and I flooded the engine.  So it starts fine now, and I'll try again tomorrow to clear the unwanted trees around your house inshaAllah.

Please make a donation to a worthwhile charity of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro.

Qur'an 20160119

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

78.  And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book but desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.

79.  Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, "This is from Allah," to traffic with it for a miserable price.  Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

80.  And they say, "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days."  Say, "Have you taken a promise with Allah, for God never breaks the Promise of Allah?  Or is it that you say of Allah what you do not know?"

(The Heifer 2:78-80)

Have you taken a promise with Allah, for God never breaks the Promise of Allah?  Or is it that you say of Allah what you do not know?
