Qur'an 20190108

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

4.  They ask you what is lawful to them.  Say, "Lawful unto you are things good and pure, and what you have taught your trained hunting animals in the manner directed to you by Allah.  Eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it, and fear Allah for Allah is swift in Taking Account."

(The Repast 5:4)

Allah the supreme Accountant means that Allah is the supreme Mathematician!  Science and mathematics must be taught in Islamic schools!

No pressing engagements

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today, my beautiful love?  I'm sure you are busy, so please make sure you take care of your health and get plenty of rest.  Yes I know things are very exciting right now, but you must learn how to relax and slow down that heart of yours.  A nice game might help.  I like pinball, and I have a nice fishing game on my puny little Android device.  The fishing game never ends, because you can never catch all the fish.  How about an architecture and social game, like Sims 3?  Or even Second Life?  Design a house, perhaps?

I was talking to a ghost and he was complaining that he didn't have any pressing engagements, neither in the past nor in the future.  I said, "That's because you're dead!"  Come to think of it, I don't have any pressing engagements either.  I must adhere to my daily routine, which is full of obligations that I must fulfill.  But besides bills to pay, I don't have any pressing engagements whatsoever.  Except for death, of course.  We all have to deal with that.
