In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Of course you're an adult, and you make your own choices. If you love alcohol and drugs and that's what you want, then I can't stop you. Just like I can't force you to marry me, and you can't force me to marry you. I serve Allah, and I need a wife who is good and sincere, to stay put and help me raise a family. You have to want to marry me to be my wife, and you have to want to be clean and pure. Sure none of us is perfect, but we're not concerned about our past, right? We live in the now, and now is where we determine our future. I love the woman who is sincere, and is renowned for her sincerity. I love you and I need you.
I have a old glass malted milk jar on my speaker system where I keep my fish. When I last killed my guppies (by foolishly washing the jar with soap), I replaced them with seven guppies from my Dad's fish tank, none of them bigger than a dime. They've grown since then, 3 of them the length of a quarter, and the rest of them dime sized. Yesterday while I was voice training, I noticed another fish in there, a tiny transparent little guppy the size of pinhead. Most likely one of the big females must have given birth to it. The other fish were chasing it around, after all fish eat fish, but since it's so small it could escape underneath the rocks. One of the posse of bigger fish got trapped under a rock, then one of the big females took a bite out of its tail. Then a feeding frenzy occurred, and all of the bigger fish attacked the hapless victim. Not out of hunger, because there's fish food floating on the top of the water. Along with the carcass of the hapless victim. So I had 7, then suddenly 8, then suddenly 7 fish again. Vicious world of fishes. Hey, that rhymes!

Qur'an 20160121
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
91. When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us," yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say, "Why then have you slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if you did indeed believe?"
92. There came to you Moses with clarity, yet you worshiped the calf after that, and you did behave wrongfully.
93. And remember We took your Covenant and We raised above you of the Mountain: hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken. They said, "We hear and we disobey," and they had to drink into their hearts of the calf because of their faithlessness. Say, "Vile indeed are the behests of your faith, if you have any faith!"
94. Say, "If the last home with Allah be for you specially and not for anyone else, then seek you for death, if you are sincere."
95. But they will never seek for death, on account of that which their hands have sent on before them. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with the wrongdoers.
96. You will find them of all people, most greedy of life even more than the idolaters. Each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years, but the grant of such life will not save him from punishment, for Allah Sees Well all that they do.
97. Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, for he brings down that to your heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe..."
98. Whoever is an enemy to Allah and God's angels and prophets, to Gabriel and Michael- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject faith.
(The Heifer 2:91-98)

Why then have you slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if you did indeed believe?
Vile indeed are the behests of your faith, if you have any faith!
If the last home with Allah be for you specially and not for anyone else, then seek you for death, if you are sincere.
Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, for he brings down that to your heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe...
