Qur'an 20161006

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

101.  Say, "Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth."  But neither Signs nor warners profit those who believe not.

102.  Do they then expect but the days of the men who passed away before them?  Say, "Wait you then, for I too will wait with you."

103.  In the end We deliver Our messengers and those who believe.  Thus it is fitting on Our part that We should deliver those who believe!

104.  Say, "O humans!  If your are in doubt as to my religion, I worship not what you worship besides Allah!  But I worship Allah Who will take your souls.  I am commanded to be of the believers."

105.  Furthermore, set your face towards religion with true piety, and never be in anywise of the unbelievers.

106.  Nor call on any other than Allah, such will neither profit you nor hurt you.  If you do, behold!  You shall certainly be of those who do wrong.

107.  If Allah touches you with hurt, there is none can remove it but God.  If God designs some benefit for you, there is none can keep back God's favor.  God causes it to reach whomsoever of God's servants God pleases, and God is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

108.  Say, "O humans!  Now Truth has reached you from your Lord!  Those who receive Guidance do so for the good of their own souls.  Those who stray do so to their own loss.  And I am not over you to arrange your affairs."

Jonah 10:101-108

How's it going today?

I hope you are taking sweet loving care of yourself, and please don't forget to pray.  There's nothing out of the ordinary going on here for me.  I'm at the end of my data cap, so I can't spend too much time a the disco.  Food budget still sucks, so I'm eating the same thing everyday.  Ya Allah, please help me sell some mango trees!  For some reason, poor man's food is healthier for me.  More grains, less experimentation, less fat.

Nat, that's a beautiful show at Sonia Rykiel.  Looks like snow.  You look beautiful.
