Qur'an 20191127

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

108.  Say, "What has come to me by inspiration is that your God is One God: will you therefore bow to God's Will?"

109.  But if they turn away say, "I have proclaimed the Message to you and in truth, but I know not whether that which you are promised is near or far."

110.  It is God Who knows what is open in speech and what you hide.

111.  I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of livelihood for a time.

112.  Say, "O my Lord!  Judge You in truth!  Our Lord most Gracious is the One Whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies you utter!"

The Prophets 21:108-112

Power

Hi Natty!  How are you, my darling?  Are you having a wonderful time?  I hope you are.  It's Tuesday over here, and I was present at the mosque for the sunset prayer because today is the day I always go to hear "tok guru" talk about the Qur'an.  But the old master didn't come today, so I'm home early.  I already had my dinner.  It was more of the same from yesterday, my mother's curry is so good.  Cooking tip!  If you make curry and you have leftovers, freeze it immediately!  Curry doesn't keep unless it's frozen!

Mary Unknown7 is wearing green today.  It's a bit slutty I'll have to admit, but she's a rock star.  Mary dresses like a slut sometimes, but she's actually a nun.  A servant of God.  There's an old amra tree right next to my front gate that's definitely not green, because it's about to die.  It was fine earlier this year, but now it looks like it's about to fall.  It's sobering how fast things change.  It was windy today.  There was a big branch grazing the power line that I feared might snag it, but the wind snapped it off and away from the power line.  The branch looks big and heavy but when I went to inspect it, I could break a piece off with one hand.  This means that most of the old tree is probably hollow.  But at least that particular branch is out of the way, and it looks like the tree will fall away from the road and power lines safely onto my driveway inshaAllah.  Power is such an interesting concept.  So many people crave it, but all power belongs to Allah.  You never know how it manifests itself.  You could place a plug close to an outlet, and suddenly sparks begin to fly and the whole strip bursts into flames.
