Qur'an 20171025

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

11.  Say, "Verily I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion."

12.  And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to God in Islam.

13.  Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the penalty of a Mighty Day."

14.  Say, "It is Allah I serve, with my sincere devotion."

15.  Serve you what you will besides God.  Say, "Truly those in loss are those who lose their own souls and their people on the Day of Judgement.  Ah, that is indeed the evident loss!"

16.  They shall have layers of fire above them, and layers below them.  With this does Allah warn God's servants: "O My servants!  Then fear you Me!"

17.  Those who eschew evil and fall not into its worship, and turn to Allah: for them is good news.  So announce the good news to My servants.

18.  Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best in it.  Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.

I love Erin

My life is not complete without my wife.  We are only beginning, my love.  How was your day, Honey?  How was work?  I hope you are not overworking.  I had an easy day today.  That's probably because I slept in after the dawn prayer, and woke up later than usual.  That's probably because I woke up at 3 am and did some extra worship.  That's probably because some mosquitoes woke me up, so I got up, lit some mosquito incense, and did extra worship.  I should probably be more proactive about early morning supplementary worship, but I guess that time will come when I have to nurse infants.  You get back to sleep Honey, I'll take care of the baby and pray at the same time.  I didn't do any yard work this evening.  I had to make a batch of dough, and after that I fired up some bread and heated up the curry that was in the freezer.  Curry gets sour like milk does, so it has to be frozen every time.  It was a huge helping of chicken curry, so I'm very full right now, and there's more left over, which I stuck back in the freezer.  Want some?  Then my Dad gave me some donuts.  Local donuts.

Oh, you are in Paris!  Natty, I thought you were in NYC.  That's just awesome.  I think you should spend most of your time in Paris, I think you would find it very rewarding and relevant.  Let someone else have the USA.  I must say you are look very modern and metro, but I love that easy-going, feminine and modest look best.  Gets to my heart, that does.  Have you tried escargot?  I guarantee you will get the runs.  Sensitive tummy.  I think escargot would taste great on pizza though.  You've never tried it?  Tastes like shellfish.  Except the foot of the snail, which is like a fish scale and unpalatable.
