Qur'an 20171024

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

7.  If you reject, truly Allah has no need of you, but God dislikes ingratitude from God's servants.  If you are grateful, God is pleased with you.  No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.  In the end to your Lord is your return, when God will tell you the truth of all that you did, for God Knows Well all that is in hearts.

8.  When some trouble touches man, he cries unto his Lord, turning to God in repentance.  But when God bestows a favor upon him as from Godself, he forgets what he cried and prayed for before, and he sets up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path.  Say, "Enjoy your blasphemy for a little while, verily you are of the companions of the fire!"

9.  Is one who worships devoutly during the hours of the night, prostrating or standing, who takes heed of the hereafter, and who places his hope in the mercy of his Lord... Say, "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?   It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition."

10.  Say, "O you servants who believe!  Fear your Lord.  Good is for those who do good in this world.  Spacious is Allah's earth.  Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!"

Hi Honey

Are you feeling OK today?  Aw Erin, I love you with all me heart.  You are so beautiful, and you are my life, my future.  Please take heart dearest heart, I will not abandon you inshaAllah.  Every day, bit by bit, we are coming together.  God will bring us together inshaAllah, so let's work towards that.  It's Monday over here, and this morning I had to take my Dad to the hospital.  Before that and after my usual daily chores cleaning up after the cats and watering the plants, I vacuum cleaned my parents' house.  Then I had an early lunch: I made some tortillas and wrapped up some burgers with leftover eggplant on mole sauce and leftover coconut cole slaw.  Good stuff, not bad at all for leftovers.  Then I drove my Dad to the hospital, then came back and took a nap.  I've been taking my noon naps outside, I think I told you that.  I picked up my Dad right before voice training, and after voice training I cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah.  I cut the grassy areas front and center of the house.  The other parts don't work too well with a nylon blade, because of all the saplings.  The west border of the house is full of saplings, and vegetation grows fast here in the tropics.  I'll go over them tomorrow with a scythe before I take the weed whacker to them.  The weather was hot, and it made me cut the grass faster, because I was uncomfortable.  I seem to cut more area and save more gasoline when I cut fast.  We need a gardener.  And a maid.

Natty, what a beautiful Sunday outfit that is!  It's so modest and feminine and pretty, I love it and you!  I'm guessing that's NYC, there's lots of places to eat I'm sure.  Did you have a nice brunch?  You should take photos of your food.  Terrorize the food industry!  Oh, it was fruit and salad?
