Qur'an 20160929

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

52.  At length will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste you the enduring punishment!  You get but the recompense of what you earned!"

53.  They seek to be informed by you, "Is that true?"  Say, "Aye!  By my Lord, it is the very truth!  And you cannot frustrate it!"

54.  Every soul that has sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom.  They would declare their repentance when they see the Penalty.  But the judgement between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.

55.  Is it not that to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth?  Is it not that Allah's promise is assuredly true?  Yet most of them understand not.

56.  It is God Who gives life, and Who takes it, and to God shall you all be brought back.

57.  O humankind!  There has come to you a direction from your Lord, and a healing for that in your hearts, and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy.

58.  Say, "In the Bounty of Allah, and in God's Mercy: in that let them rejoice."  That is better than what they hoard.

59.  Say, "See you what things Allah has sent down to you for sustenance?  Yet you hold some things forbidden, others lawful."  Say, "Has Allah indeed permitted you, or do you invent to attribute to Allah?"

What's going on?

What's happening?  Oh, today I had to take Bat Cat to the vet.  Somehow he managed to get a hole in the left side of his face, and it began to pus up.  I managed to close that wound, but all that pus pooled at his left shoulder.  He was clearly in a lot of pain, and at first I didn't know exactly what was wrong with him.  Then he himself poked a hole into his left shoulder, and I could see all that pus ooze out.  I removed most of it and disinfected his shoulder with rubbing alcohol, and the vet finished the job with antibiotics and painkillers.  Now Batty wants to leave his cage, he's improved that much.  Of course I think some human did that to him.  I was furious.

Erin, you look so lovely and dignified in that Global Citizen photo.  And Nat, Chanel did a wonderful job bringing out how beautiful you are.  Don't be in such a hurry to get the big accounts, Sweetie.  Big Fish like Chanel have to cater to a lot of old women, so they can't play favorites to young women.  Just kick back and just be yourself, because you are already beautiful.  Have fun with your career.  Oh, and Piene you look pretty too.

I found a new hairdo while I was away from the disco.  I think I look Italian now.  Do you think I look Italian?
