Busy?

So am I at the moment.  After I write this letter, I will take a shower then head out to the mosque.  They usually slaughter livestock on the day after the Eid to give to the people, I'm sure you remember my posting some photos of that.  They had 4 steer last year which resulted in some waste, but this time I plan to stick around to the end  and pick up some bones for stew or something, if any.  Not that I'm hoping for anything at all, I don't like the waste.  They only have 2 steer this year anyway.  I helped them out last year but I was mostly in the way, and some guy almost cut my hand.  I'm just leaving the zealous to do their thing while I watch today.  I'm bringing my smartphone, maybe I'll take a nap while I wait. 

Natty, that's an old photo.  Yes you're very pretty, of course.

Pina, that's an old photo.  My guess is that you took that photo in NYC, judging from the bags under your eyes and the low quality of your hair.  Make sure you are treated right from now on.  Tell them I insist.

Qur'an 20170902

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

27.  Say, "Show me those who you have joined with God as partners... by no means!  No, God is Allah, the Exalted in Power, the Wise."

28.  We have not sent you but as a messenger to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them, but most men understand not.

29.  They say,"When is this promise, if you are telling the truth?"

30.  Say, "The appointment to you is for a Day, which you cannot put back for an hour, nor put forward."

31.  The unbelievers say, "We shall neither believe in this scripture nor in that before it."  Could you but see when the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, throwing back the word on one another!  Those who had been despised will say to the arrogant ones, "Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!"

Sheba 34:27-31
