Qur'an 20200213

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

65.  Say, "None in the heavens or on earth except Allah knows what is hidden, nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up."

66.  Still less can their knowledge comprehend the hereafter: no, they are in doubt and uncertainty thereat, no, they are blind thereunto!

67.  The unbelievers say, "What!  When we become dust, we and our fathers, shall we really be raised?"

68.  "It is true we were promised this, we and our fathers before: these are nothing but tales of the ancients."

69.  Say, "Go you through the earth and see what has been the end of those guilty."

70.  But grieve not over them because of their plots.

71.  They also say, "When is this promise, if you are truthful?"

72.  Say, "It may be that some of the events which you wish to hasten on may be in your pursuit!"

The Ants 27:65-72

Please trust and follow your husband's judgement

Yes Natty, that is a gorgeous jacket.  I used to have a black fringed jacket myself, but I've never seen one that long.  It must be very expensive.

Natty when you marry me inshaAllah, you will be marrying into a unique rock and roll business.  It is also a spiritual path, for both you and me.  So I ask you to please trust and follow my judgement regarding certain matters which may seem to you as vague and hard to understand.  This is not just because I have lived more than twice as long as you, but because Allah has granted me some knowledge of the Qur'an.  For instance, we might cancel our plans to go out at any particular time because it's too dangerous.  Or perhaps a gang of thugs have come into town to carry out a hit.  Or that I isolate myself from the congregation so as not to endanger other people.  Or that I even know who sent those thugs.  Information that you won't get from a class or course.  But it's really no surprise who the culprits are, folks.  Please don't worry, everything will be just fine inshaAllah.  Just get to that quiet place, pray to Allah, and meditate to slow down your heart.

Today is a good day for red roses, don't you agree?
