Qur'an 20160619

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

56.  Say, "I am forbidden to worship those whom you call upon other than Allah."  Say, "I will not follow your desires.  If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive guidance."

57.  Say, "For me, I be on a clear Sign from my Lord, but you reject God.  What you would see hastened is not in my power.  The command rests with none but Allah.  God declares the Truth.  And God is the Best of judges."

58.  Say, "If what you would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be settled at once between you and me.  But Allah knows best those who do wrong."

(The Cattle 6:56-58)

I don't think it's the full moon yet

I believe tomorrow night is the full moon.  Andre once told me that people behave strangely on the night before the full moon.  I don't know about that, but tonight so far there's been a cat fight.  The local mosque is giving alms to the poor and the orphans right now, which is a 4 hour event and includes a feast.  Islam encourages giving charity, but not to beg or borrow.  I am not attending the event.  Instead I stayed at home, and ate until I'm full.  I'm really full right now, it hurts.  Alhamdulillah.
