Qur'an 20161127

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

30.  Thus We have sent you among a people whom have peoples passed away, in order that you might rehearse unto them what We have sent down unto you by inspiration.  Yet they do reject the most Gracious!  Say, "God is my Lord!  There is no God but God!  On God is my trust, and to God do I turn!"

31.  If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak.... But truly, the Command is with Allah with all things!  Do not the believers know that, had Allah willed, God could have guided all humankind?  But the unbelievers, never will disaster cease to seize them for their deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the Promise of Allah come to pass, for verily, Allah will not fail in God's promise.

32.  Mocked were messengers before you, but We granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally We punished them.  Then how was Our requital!

33.  Is then God Who stands over every soul, all that it does?  And yet they ascribe partners to Allah.  Say, "But name them!  Is it that you will inform God of something God knows not on earth, or is it a show of words?"  No!  To those who believe not, their pretense seems pleasing, but they are kept back from the Path.  And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.

Cheeseless pizza

Hi Erin!  Are you enjoying your family time?  Always take time to relax and enjoy life.  Do you think that being in the Public Eye means that you have to work all the time?  Just ignore the crowd, kick back, and enjoy life.  I love you.

Natty, I hope that the past couple of weeks have proven to you that you are MY family inshaAllah, and my family lives in the Public Eye.  This is great for your career and your bosses, so please enjoy your career, save your money, and don't waste it.

I had to log in 7 times in a row on Second Life this morning, finally I gave my pc a hard boot, and it worked properly, so I could work properly.  This means that my video card was clogged up with useless information, most likely planted there by someone.  I'm used to malicious intent and actions, but am I THAT pretty that they behave like that?

For lunch, I attended a banquet given by the local imam for the occasion of his son's circumcision.  Do you know what a circumcised penis is?  I should have taken photos, but I didn't bring my cell phone.  No, not of the circumcision but of the food.  For dinner, I made a cheeseless pizza.  This is because I didn't have any cheese.  Marinara sauce neither.  So for sauce, I used "sambal tumis" (a local onion-based hot sauce generally used with rice, anchovies, and egg) and the toppings were red onion, crunchy anchovies, and hummus.  Back during my pizza joint days, the ladies often ordered pizzas without cheese.  I wasn't trying to be dainty or gourmet or whatever.  I just didn't have any cheese.

Piene, are you hungry?  Want some cheeseless pizza?
