Qur'an 20190605

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

9.  If we give man a taste of mercy from Ourselves, and then withdraw it from him, behold!  He is in despair and blasphemy!

10.  But if We give him a taste of favors after adversity has touched him, he is sure to say, "All evil has departed from me."  Behold!  He falls into exultation and pride!

11.  Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness: for them is forgiveness, and a great reward.

12.  Perchance you may give up a part of what is revealed to you, and your heart feels straightened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down to him, or why does not an angel come down with him?"  But you are there only to warn!  It is Allah that arranges all affairs!

13.  Or they may say, "He forged it."  Say, "Bring you then 10 Surahs forged like it, and call whomsoever you can, other than Allah, if you speak the truth."

14.  If then they answer you not, know you that this Revelation is sent down with the Knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but God!  Will you even then submit?

15.  Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter, to them We shall pay their deeds therein, without diminution.

16.  They are those for whom there is nothing in the hereafter but the fire.  Vain are the designs they frame therein, and of no effect are the deeds that they do!

Hud 11:9-16

One more day

Hi there, my precious Ladies!  How are we feeling today?  I hope you are feeling great.  No squabbling, please!  I am feeling absolutely worn out.  This last day of fasting feels like the first day for some reason.  I don't think anybody else out there has to belt out 2 hours of singing while fasting.  But tomorrow is the Eid, and that will the end of this year's Ramadan.  I'm so happy!  I get to drink coffee in the afternoon!  Nothing special on the menu today.  Just steamed rice with leftover curry, some mangoes, and my Mom gave me some sweet treats.  Thanks Mom!  I could cook up something better, but I'm just not motivated.  I just want to veg out and watch TV while I wait to break fast.  And that's what I will do right now!
