Qur'an 20190424

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful

23.  O you who believe!  Take not for protectors your fathers and your brethren if they love infidelity above faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

24.  Say, "If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, or the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allah or God's messenger, or the striving in God's cause, then wait until Allah brings about God's Decision.  And Allah guides not the rebellious."

(The Repentance 9:23-24)

Please make a donation in the name of Allah of a minimum of one US dollar (or its equivalent) to a worthwhile charity

"I have to make a donation AGAIN?" would be the thought of most people.  They found it difficult enough to make the first donation, even more so the second time.  Over a lousy buck.

Aw Natty, don't you worry about a thing, you beautiful Sweetheart.  Everything is going to turn out absolutely great for us inshaAllah, and you are going to do fabulously inshaAllah.  You are MY girl, you are beautiful and I love you.  So have faith and enjoy being you and being so gorgeous.  Please make that donation OK?  Especially the "in the name of Allah" part.  Are you hungry?  My Mom gave me some prawns this morning, so I cooked them up for lunch.  I'm sure you've come across prawn croquettes over there in Bali.  Also known as fried prawn cakes or "cucur udang".  It's a simple recipe.  The batter is just egg, water, flour, and salt, more on the runny side.  I put in a lot of sliced onions.  The shrimp is bigger than what I usually buy, so I had to peel them.  Don't throw out the heads!  That's the best part, just make sure they crisp up nicely.  Jumbo shrimp don't make good fried shrimp cakes.  The head is just too big.  Oh, I forgot to take a snapshot again!  Here's another photo of Julie Andrews instead.  Wow, she looked great when wet.
