Qur'an 20170118

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

49.  They say, "What?  When we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up, a new creation?"

50.  Say, "Be you stones, or iron!"

51.  Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest.  Then will they say, "Who will cause us to return?"  Say, "God who created you first!"  Then will they wag their heads towards you and say, "When will that be?"  Say, "Maybe it will be quite soon!"

Spies!

You have been in the spotlight since a young age, haven't you Erin?  Before you were 20 even.  So you should be used to a level of lack of privacy by now.  Oh, I'm sure you never imagined nor desired how deep it could get, but you have gone global after all.  You're not alone though: I am with you.  Like I told you before, just point towards me and tell them "I am his wife inshaAllah", and I will distract them away from you.  I didn't realize that I had no privacy until I was in my 30s (although I'm sure it began when I was in my 20s).  I don't place much value in fame because it's been mostly poverty and manual labor for me.  However, I am grateful to Allah for the spiritual awareness: Allah has kept me alive for some reason.  Alhamdulillah.  So I treat fame like it's nothing even though other people don't know how to behave.  So that's what I want you to do: ignore them, but be safe and calculated.

Natty, you are a rose.  A beautiful rose.  That's a good photo, too.   Please make sure all your photos are good.

Pina, having you model men's clothing is a brilliant idea!  You look so adorable in those clothes, too.  The Hanson video is for you.  Watch it, and perhaps you will understand why men go crazy over that kind of image.  Please stay blonde, and keep your hair long.
