Qur'an 20190228

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

147.  If they belie you say, "Your Lord is full of Mercy, All-Forbearing, and never will God's Wrath be turned back from people who are sinners."

148.  Those who worship others will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have taken partners with God, nor would our fathers, and we would not have taboos."  Likewise belied those who were before them, until they tasted Our Wrath.  Say, "Have you any knowledge that you can produce before us?  Verily, you follow nothing but conjecture and you do nothing but lie."

149.  Say, "With Allah is the perfect proof and argument.  Had God so willed, God would indeed have guided you all."

150.  Say, "Bring forward your witnesses who can testify that Allah has forbidden thus."  Then if they testify, do not confirm them.  And you should not follow the vain desires of those treat Our Signs as falsehoods, and those who believe not in the Hereafter, and they hold others as equal with their Lord.

151.  Say, "Come I will rehearse what your Lord has prohibited you from."  Join not anything in worship with God, be good and dutiful to your parents, kill not your children because of poverty- God provides sustenance for you and them, commit not shameful acts whether secretly or openly, and take not life for Allah forbids it except for just cause.  Thus has God commanded you that you may understand.

Liver and onions

Hello Ladies!  How are you today?  I hope you are feeling and doing absolutely great.  It's a chaotic day here today!  Not me in particular, just everyone else chasing the dollar.  I did pay my bills and do some shopping today, but I managed to stay within my budget.  I am running late with this post though, sorry about that.  Whenever I have rice for dinner, it always makes me late for everything else I have on my agenda that evening.  A rice dinner is always so labor intensive, to cook, to eat, to clean up.  Actually, it was liver and onions with rice.  Do you like liver?  It's supposed to be very good for your blood, which in turn is good for your hair.  We all want shiny and healthy hair, right?  I found some Australian beef liver going for quite cheap at the supermarket, so I decided that was dinner.  I like liver.  I wonder if I have enough left to grill...

February 28 is my birthday!  I'm still alive!  Alhamdulillah!  I wonder if any one of you will wish me Happy Birthday.  Watch and remember...
