Qur'an 20190901

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

101.  When We substitute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what God reveals, they say, "You are a forger," but most of them understand not.

102.  Say, "The Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from your Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims."

103.  We know indeed that they say, "It is a man who teaches him."  The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear.

104.  Those who believe not in the Signs of Allah, Allah will not guide them, and theirs will be a grievous penalty.

105.  It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah that forge falsehood, it is they who lie!

The Bees 16:101-105

The white rose

Hi there, my precious Ladies!  What are you up to?  I hope you are feeling awesome, and having a fabulous time.  What's cooking over there? I just had my dinner: I ate out, had some "laksa" (rice noodles in fish broth), but I have a craving for cream of chicken soup since we talked about it yesterday, so I went out and bought a can.  It looks like I'll be eating again tonight.  Chicken soup and a movie.  Wanna join me?

I also bought a white rose plant today.  Rose plants don't flourish here because of the heat.  This particular one is very delicate, so I'm going to have to be proactive about keeping it cool.  I placed it under the shade of banana trees and the porch, so hopefully the sun never touches it.  Then I hung a spray bottle of water on the rim of the flower pot, so I can spray it down whenever I think of it or I'm in the area.  I don't expect it to live for long, but I'll try.  InshaAllah, it will have a long life.

Girl singers are troublesome

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling, Honey?  Are you a bit feverish or something?  Honey, just take it easy and relax and get some rest.  Make some chicken soup, get lots of sleep.  I made some chicken soup with honey for dinner, I wish I could get it to you.  That Campbell's cream of chicken soup is quite good, I think.  Would you like some of that?  Don't worry Honey, you're going to be just fine inshaAllah.

Everybody knows that girl singers are troublesome.  Mary Unknown7 is the most troublesome girl singer of them all.  So be prepared for that.  She will never intentionally blow off a gig, though.  I will vouch for her for that.

Great job!

Hi Natty!  Hi there, Sexy Legs.  I mean your legs, Natty.  What... is that a bruise I see?  😠  Grrr..  Congratulations on your achievement, Sweetheart.  Great job!  Now I wouldn't say no to what you said in your post.  However, you were talking to cancer.  I guess...

Hey Natty, there are countless people all over the world who love the music.  Young people.  Half your age or less.  You should try being friends with them.

I don't usually wear tights, even though every other woman in the world wears tights.  If it's a matter of comfort, then it doesn't apply to me as an avatar: I prefer minis.  But this top is too good to waste, and it only matches with tights.  I guess it's my Natty influence.

The all-white cat is not all-white after all

Hi Erin and Natty!  How are you?  How's business?  Your bosses should give you the big bucks for all the attention you're bringing to their business.  Please stay fit and keep calm.  We've only just begun.  I had a coconut omelet for dinner, and it turned to be successful.  Kitchen work actually exasperates me.  Maybe it's brain damage from working at the pizza joint all those years.  Or maybe I got it from my mother.  But it is a blessing, since I like my own cooking and I'm not likely to poison myself, so alhamdulillah.

Little Yoolie is growing up so fast!  She's not squeaking anymore!  I should have recorded that squeak when I had the chance, but it didn't occur to me to do so, and now the squeak has become a high pitched meow.  You don't know what you've got until it's gone.  😢  It seems that the all-white cat is not all-white after all: she has a dark snout.

At first I thought it was dirt, and I tried to scrape it off, but it turned out to be the color of her skin.  So the all-white cat is not all-white after all, but she's all wight with me!  Yoolie came to me the night of those 2 mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, what was that... the 6th of August?  Then on the 9th, a tornado ripped off my roof.  But the all-white cat of death has a dark snout.  What does it mean?  That the cat of death isn't the cat of death if she were well fed?  Then it's a good thing she's fat.  She's a chubby kitten now.
