Qur'an 20190307

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

28.  When they do that which is shameful, they say,"We found our fathers doing so," and "Allah commanded us thus."  Say, "Allah never commands what is shameful.  Do you say of Allah what you know not?"

29.  Say, "My Lord has commanded justice, and that you set your whole selves at every time and place of prayer, and call upon God, making your devotion sincere as in God's sight.  Such as God created you in the beginning, so shall you return."

(The Heights 7:28-29)

The 99¢ store

Hello my Ladies!  How are we feeling today?  How's business?  I suppose you might be shy against the Public Eye what with all this scary big business, but you actually have a greater advantage with the public than me.  This is because you are beautiful.  You don't need to hide.  So please don't be cowed by how frightening big business can be.  Use them to your advantage, and they will love you inshaAllah.

Have you ever ventured into one of those 99¢ stores?  If you are on a small budget, you can get quite a lot of stuff at that store.  Over here the theme seems to be RM2 store, which would make it about 50¢ over there.  Most of the stuff is made in China, so beware of buying packaged foods at that price.  Everything else should be OK.  Knowing how to cook is best for your budget, for you can spend small amounts of money and have great meals.  The value of the food you prepare by yourself could be 50 times the amount you spend, because knowledge is power!  One of the local supermarkets just put up a RM2 section (actually it's RM2.10), so I bought some dish detergent, bleach, and glass cleaner.  Not from China, all local!  Amazing, huh!  I was actually there to get some birthday gifts.  This time of year there are many birthdays I can't avoid, namely mine, Erin, my Dad, and my nephew.  Ice cream for everybody!
