Qur'an 20190121

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

59.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us and that which came before, and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

60.  Say, "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, by the treatment it received from Allah?  Those who incurred the curse of Allah and God's wrath, those whom some God transformed into apes and swine, those who worshiped evil: these are worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path."

(The Repast 5:59-60)

Friends

Hi Natty!  Are feeling excited and confident today?  I hope you are having tons of fun being you and doing what you.  You are my Rock and Roll Princess!  And I love you, I long to be with you and make love to you.  But right now, you have lots of friends because of how popular and beautiful you are, so enjoy your position.  Do me a favor though, and try to make some Muslim friends.  I'm sure you don't come across many Muslim models, but try to make some Muslim friends.  We are people too, and part of this world.

Yeah, I know I don't have any friends.  But the music has so many friends, countless even, who would do anything for the music.  But I am a servant of Allah, and have been given guardianship of this music by Allah, so I cannot be part of them.  Perhaps there would be other musicians who are Muslim who would understand my position, but right now it seems I am the only one.  Of course there are the learned ones, who would most likely outclass me in book knowledge, and distort the music and my decisions thereof, so again I'm on my own.  I suppose it would be awkward, what with my being a chick singer and all that, but I'm a recluse by nature so that doesn't bother me at all.  That's why it's best that I have wives instead of friends.  And if Allah is my friend, Allah is all I need.
