In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
5. The similitude of those who were charged with the Mosaic Law but who subsequently failed is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes. Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah. And Allah guides not people who do wrong.
6. Say, "O you who stand on Judaism! If you think that you are friends to Allah to the exclusion of humans, then express your desire for death, if you are truthful!"
7. But never will they express their desire for death because of what their hands have sent on before them! And Allah knows well those who do wrong!
8. Say, "The death from which you flee will truly overtake you, then will you be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open, and God will tell you the things that you did!"
9. O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday, hasten earnestly to remembrance of Allah, and leave off business. That is best for you, if you only knew.
10. And when the prayer is finished, then may you disperse through the land and seek of the bounty of Allah, and celebrate the praises of Allah often, that you may prosper.
11. But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave you standing. Say, "That from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! And Allah is the Best to provide."
Friday 62:5-11

Standard recipe
When we are married and together inshaAllah, I think that would be a pretty good feeling do you agree? I believe we really love each other. And since I have no friends, I would be with my wives pretty much 24/7. But right now, America loves Erin. Check out this page I found this morning: 'The Sandlot' turns 25
Baseball is a standard formula, right? Some tactics produce better results than others, and some athletes are better than others, but you're not going to find an island in a pond in the middle of a baseball diamond, right? That would change what baseball is and what people want out of it. The same goes with food. Sometimes creativity is important, other times standard recipes are appropriate. For lunch I made "keow teow kerang" (fried flat noodles with cockles), a local staple and one of my favorites. It's made out of flat noodles, garlic, cockles, soy sauce, egg, bean sprouts, and chives are optional. It has to be made the same way every time, otherwise it wouldn't be "keow teow kerang". It can only be average, because you can't do or add anything to it, otherwise it wouldn't be "keow teow kerang". You may add more bean sprouts or cockles, you can make it nice and tidy, but the best version is always the average version. Because it is a local favorite, it is what people expect to eat, it is a standard recipe. It is NEVER exceptional.
Natty, that is a smart looking coat. But escapism is an emotion, as opposed to an intellectual pursuit right? The desire to get away from reality. Desire is an emotion, right? Not to be confused with creativity, no matter how it feels, escapism eventually leads back to reality. Because it needs reality to escape from. I didn't feel like cutting the grass this evening. I would rather be doing something else, or nothing at all. If I escape doing chores, is that escapism? I am probably the world's laziest person, but I still do my chores. Otherwise my house would be filled with cat poo.
