Qur'an 20180103

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

7.  When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the unbelievers say of the truth when it comes to them, "This is evident sorcery!"

8.  Or do they say, "He has forged it!"  Say, "Had I forged it, then can you obtain nothing for me from Allah.  God knows best of that whereof you talk.  Enough is God for a Witness between me and you.  And God is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."

9.  Say, "I am no bringer of new fangled doctrine among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you.  I follow that which is revealed to me by inspiration.  I am a warner, open and clear."

10.  Say, "Do you see?  If it be from Allah and you reject it, and a witness from among the children of Israel testifies to its similarity and has believed while you are arrogant, truly Allah guides not a people unjust."

Wherever you go, there you are

I assume you must be feeling a little spooked Honey, and it's OK.  It's OK to be scared.  Actually we have to be scared, then focus our fear on Allah.  Put all your fear into God, and God will strengthen your heart so that you do not become paralyzed with fear.  You can imagine that the evil people are afraid as well (the envious, thugs, hypocrites, crooks, corrupt governments), that's why they behave as they do because they are afraid.  But they do not have the hope of Allah.  However, you actually feel a little thrilled about this exciting life of yours, huh?  This beautiful life, this path you have chosen that very few others understand, even though they may be rich and influential.  If you were to live a "normal" life like most everybody else, you would still be subjected to fear (the envious, thugs, hypocrites, crooks, corrupt governments).  Life isn't supposed to be easy.  So you keep on with whatever business you are doing and don't be intimidated, and please pray.  Pray.  InshaAllah, everything will turn out just great.

Ya Allah, the Protector, please protect my Erin and Natty.
