Qur'an 20181114

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

95.  Say, "Allah speaks the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith: he was not of the pagans."

96.  The first House appointed for humans was that at Bakkah, full of blessing and guidance for all kinds of beings.

97.  In it are signs manifest.  The Station of Abraham: whoever enters it attains security.  Pilgrimage thereto is a duty humans owe to Allah, those who can afford the journey.  But if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of God's creatures.

98.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Why reject you the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Witness to all you do?"

99.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Why obstruct you those who believe from the path of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, while you were yourselves witnesses?  But Allah is not unmindful of what you do."

(The Family of Imran 3:95-99)

It's all YouTube's fault

Hi Honey!  How are you feeling today?  With all the spiritual excitement, I'm sure you feel a bit subdued.  So do I, but it's good to place your fear in Allah.  So please pray.  I am in awe however, at how precise God is.  Not much labor for me today.  I spent a lot of time in the kitchen, it's time to whip up a batch of chili for myself this time.  I think I've found the perfect formula, there's nothing like letting the beans rule the chili.  If so, would that be chili or refried beans?  Hm.  It's chili, and pretty tasty.  Alhamdulillah.  Instead of beef, this time I put a chunk of salted fish in there.  Oh my God, it's so tasty...  You can't taste the fish, but the beans are so amped up.  I spent the rest of the morning watching X-Factor and Got Talent.  I almost went into trash TV (Kardashian territory), but stopped and turned back and didn't go in too deep.  Some of the singers on those shows are very talented.  I would never try out for those shows.  I don't compete.  It's not my bag, and not my orders.  I already have an agenda.  Yeah, I wasted half the day watching that junk.  It cost me my nap time, and I regret that.  I need that nap so as not to fall into a coma during voice training.  It's all YouTube's fault.
