Qur'an 20200824

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

25.  And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, their argument is nothing but this: they say, "Bring back our forefathers, if what you say is true!"

Say, "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death, then God will gather you together for the Day of Judgement about which there is no doubt," but most humans do not understand.

The Kneeling Down 45:25-26

Hi Natty

 How's it going, my love?  I hope everything is going great for you.  Are you back home yet?  It must be lovely over there this time of year.  Today is Sunday here for me, and as usual I spent the morning cleaning my mother's bedroom and bathroom.  I spent the evening in the kitchen, preparing food.  But before that, I had a tiny bit of yard work to do.  On the lawn of my grandfather's old house, there is an old ceramic sink.  It's big and heavy, not like the small sink I have in my kitchen.  I suppose I could have installed it in my house, but plumbing is not my strong point so I just put up with the sink I have.  Thus a tree began to grow through the hole in the sink where the water flows out.  I sawed out the tree and flipped the sink over to cover up the stump.  I didn't cook anything extraordinary tonight, just prepping up the usual stuff I eat when money is tight.  My mother gave me some bitter beans, so I made "sambal tumis" (onions, chillies, and "belacan" (fermented shrimp paste) blended then fried in oil until saturated) with those.  Thanks Mom!  That went with the rice and eggs I had for dinner.  And lunch too, come to think of it.  Lunch was takeout, though.  I also made a batch of dough and curry pup stuffing.  It was odd that I only had 12 dough balls today, while the previous batch I had 18 dough balls from the same amount of flour.  It was as if I lost a whole meal.  Being a baker is a very profound business.

Oh by the way Natty my darling, please don't be jealous of the Jap kids.  They're just cute, and that's it for me.  I will most likely never meet any of them, even if they were to come here looking for Mary Unknown7.  I keep her well hidden.  Instead of worrying about young girls, how about you pray that Allah brings us together in marriage quickly.
