Qur'an 20190501

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

51.  Say, "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: God is our Protector."  And in Allah let the believers put their trust.

52.  Say, "Can you expect for us other than one of two glorious things?  But we can expect for you either that Allah will send you punishment by God Self or by our hands.  So wait: we too will wait with you."

53.  Say, "Spend willingly or unwillingly.  Not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious and wicked."

(The Repentance 9:51-53)

Holiday

Hi there, my lovely Ladies!  How are you today?  How's it like to be so beautiful?  I wanna be pretty too!  I hope you are having tons of fun being you, and don't worry so much OK?  Things will turn out great for us inshaAllah.  I figured out the solution to the Mystery of the Missing Lunch.  Tomorrow is Labor Day here, so the locals took Monday and Tuesday off to celebrate Wednesday.  Which seems silly to me because the civil servants only have Wednesday off, but independent businesses take the day off whenever they feel like it.  For instance, this year's Eid al-Fitr is on a Wednesday, so the civil servants and the school kids will have 5 days off (Wednesday to Sunday) even though Eid al-Fitr is technically only one day.  But most locals celebrate 13 days of Eid al-Fitr, and if they own a business then they will be closed for 13 days.  I don't know why or who made up that tradition, I have to work every day, so it's all the same old day to me.  Does it all seem confusing to you?  People are insane!
