Qur'an 20190303

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

158.  Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or your Lord, or certain of the Signs of your Lord?  The day that certain of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before, nor earned righteousness through its faith.  Say, "Wait you: we too are waiting."

159.  As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part in them in the least.  Their affair is with Allah.  God will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.

160.  He that does good shall have ten times as much to his credit.  He that does evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil.  No wrong shall be done unto them.

161.  Say, "Verily my Lord has guided me to a way that is straight, the religion of right, the path by Abraham, the true in faith, and he joined not gods with God."

162.  Say, "Truly my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are for Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds."

163.  No partner has God.  This am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to God's Will.

164.  Say, "Shall I seek for Cherisher other than Allah, when God is the Cherisher of all things?  Every soul draws on the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.  Your goal in the end is towards God.  God will tell you the truth of the things wherein you disputed."

Pisces

I don't believe in astrology.  While it may be an ancient art, and astrologers may have compiled a list of bad habits that are Pisces, that doesn't mean that I have to be like that.  For instance, Pisces is flaky, but I have maintained my voice training time everyday for several years now without fail, despite pressure to shut up.  Pisces always calls in sick, but even though I was almost dead from being poisoned by smallpox I still cleaned my mother's toilet on Sundays, even though some people regard themselves as exempt from such work.  Pisces always runs away, but I have stood my ground here for over 11 years already even though there is no music business here.  But I will buy into the good traits, like Pisces is artistic and creative.  So should you mold whatever new thing you have into something fruitful, artistic and beautiful.  Pisces in intuitive, so should you trust your instincts and openly and aggressively fight any business situation that makes you uneasy.  Pisces is metaphysical, so I put my faith in God, not astrology.  Do you understand my direction, Erin my beloved?

Hi Natty!  Are you feeling better now?  I hope you are.  Emotions are like tides, they come and go.  That's why patience is the only thing that can douse emotions.  Please have faith in our marriage, and that God will bring us together inshaAllah.  It could happen faster than light.  Meanwhile please try to stay away from drugs and alcohol, because that will make you feel lonelier..  I get lonely too.  I want you here with me.
