Qur'an 20190521

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

31.  Say, "Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth?  Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight?  And who is it that brings out the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?  And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?"  They will soon say, "Allah."  Say, "Will you not then show piety?"

32.  Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer.  Apart from Truth, what but error?  How then are you turned away?

33.  Thus is the Word of your Lord proved true against those who rebel.  Verily they will not believe.

34.  Say, "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?"  Say, "It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it.  Then how are you deluded away?"

35.  Say, "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give guidance towards Truth?"  Say, "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards Truth.  Is then God Who gives guidance to Truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance unless he is guided?  What then is the matter with you?  How judge you?"

Jonah 10:31-35

Onokomiyaki

Hi, my beautiful Ladies!  How are we today?  I hope everything going nice and smooth, and you are feeling calm and happy.  I was watching TV and I saw them make onomiyaki (Japanese pancakes), and I thought "Hey, that looks simple enough.  And filling, too!"  It looks like batter, shredded lettuce, egg, more batter, noodles, scallions...  I thought I would try to make that for dinner today.  So I went to the supermarket and got the lettuce, noodles, also tomatoes, parsley, beef liver was cheap, so was flour, then some fish cake, peanuts and sliced cheese.  I was all ready to make a big, fat pancake.  Maybe with hot dogs, liver, or burger (after all, they put bacon in theirs).  OK fish cake.  Then when I got home, my Mom gave me rice and chicken.  Thanks Mom.  I guess I'll be making onokomiyaki at 4 am.
