Qur'an 20171116

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

66.  Say, "I am forbidden to invoke those whom you invoke besides Allah, seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to to bow to the Lord of the Worlds."

Forgiver 40:66

No spending day part 2: the cheeseless pizza

Dearest Erin, I want you to know that I love you very much, and you are always in my heart and thoughts.  I know it's been a long time since I proposed to you, and I still can't afford to give you a ring and pay for our marriage, and by now you would have probably had children already if it were not for me.  I'm so sorry that I'm so poor, I hope my work and sacrifice has somehow enriched your business at the very least, while I beg of you to please be patient and have faith and pray that God will make our marriage happen soon.  Please forgive me for my flaws.

Dearest Natty, I'm so sorry I made a typo on your name the other day.  I didn't mean to do it, and when I discovered my error I immediately fixed it.  I assure you that I didn't do it on purpose, I wasn't trying to make a joke at your expense or anything like that.  I do have a cat named Batty, but if I ever talk about him please rest assured that I am in no way referring to you or making fun of you.  I take marriage very, very seriously, and your happiness very, very seriously.  I know how much you hate people making fun of you and talking bad about you behind your back, and I'm very sorry if you had to suffer that because of me.  Please forgive me for my flaws.
Why is it necessary that a pizza have cheese?  To please the general public's perception of what a pizza is I suppose, and a pizza does taste great with cheese.  When I worked at the pizza joint, I would often get orders for pizza without cheese.  Usually women would ask for that, or someone who is lactose intolerant.  But so what, if a pizza doesn't have cheese?  One can eat spaghetti without cheese, and have bread to go with it right?  One can enjoy chili with bread but no cheese, right?  There's no cheese on a mince pie.  There's no cheese on a pumpkin pie.  So for dinner, I had a sausage, fried onion and chive pizza without cheese.  Or shall I say a sausage, fried onion and chive pie?  It was delicious.  It was filling.  It was greasy.  Alhamdulillah.  Ya Allah, please forgive me for my flaws.
