Letter to Erin 20160517

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

Hi Dreamer Girl!  Those public freakout videos are awesome, huh?  I'm sure you were chuckling to yourself at random times, thinking about them.  The human race is insane for the most part.  Psychoanalyze the psychiatrists.  As long as you don't freak out in public, I say.  So keep your cool, my darling.  Please pray.  I love you and I need you.

As you know, as my wife you are automatically a professional endorser of food products.  So don't abstain from enjoying good food just to be political.  I'm sure you know not to overeat.  Some people might think that by eating everything and anything, they cover the entire food market, but that's wrong.  They exclude themselves from halal food, which is business in trillions of dollars yearly.  What is halal?  Generally meat from livestock slaughtered by Muslims who invoke the name of Allah.  As Muslims, we must invoke the name of Allah before the first bite.  The Qur'an provides a guide as to what meat is halal in verse 5:3.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which has been invoked the name of other than Allah, that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or being gored to death, that which has been eaten by a wild animal unless you are able to slaughter it, that which is sacrificed on stone, also the division by raffling with arrows: that is impiety.  This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion.  Yet fear them not but fear Us.  This day have We perfected your religion for you, completed Our favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.  But if any is forced by hunger with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.  (The Repast 5:3)

Fish and insects (I hear that grasshoppers are delicious in Africa) do not need to be slaughtered.  I suggest you follow the Qur'an and forget what people have to say when it comes to food that is halal, if you want to try being halal.  Don't stuff your head with things that make life difficult.  Allah is most Gracious and Oft-Forgiving, while humans are nitpicky and vengeful.  When we are married inshaAllah, it will be a different situation for you, as I will take the blame for what you eat.

Please allow me to say something to Antonia.

Hi Antonia.  You look great in your Cannes outfit.  What do people do at that festival anyway?  Dress up and watch movies?  Remind me to style your hair when we get together inshaAllah.






Qur'an 20160517

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

4.  They ask you what is lawful to them.  Say, "Lawful unto you are things good and pure, and what you have taught your trained hunting animals in the manner directed to you by Allah.  Eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it, and fear Allah for Allah is swift in Taking Account."

(The Repast 5:4)

Allah the supreme Accountant means that Allah is the supreme Mathematician!  Science and mathematics must be taught in Islamic schools!
