Qur'an 20201220

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

23.  Say, "It is God Who has created you, and made for you the faculties of hearing, sight, feeling and understanding.  Little thanks it is you give."

24.  Say, "It is God Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered together."

25.  They ask, "When will this promise be, if you are telling the truth?"

26.  Say, "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone.  I am only to warn plainly in public."

27.  At length when they see it close at hand. grieved will be the faces of the unbelievers, and it will be said, "This is what you were calling for!"

28.  Say, "Do you see?  If Allah were to destroy me and those with me, or if God bestows God's mercy on us, yet who can deliver the unbelievers from a grievous penalty?"

29.  Say, "God is the Most Gracious.  We have believed in God, and on God have we put our trust.  So, soon will you know who it is that is in manifest error."

30.  Say, "Do you see?  If your streams be some morning lost, who then can supply you with clear flowing water?"

Mary wants to join a band

 Hi Natty!  How are you today?  Are you comfy there in SoCal, or are you comfy there in Vancouver?  It is the holiday season, after all.  I hope your Christmas is fun and peaceful this year.  Please take care of your health, and try to maintain social distancing.

Mary wants to join a band.  I said, "Don't be ridiculous!  You don't need to join a band, in fact you don't need any band at all!  Besides, it's impossible for you to be in a band!"  Well, almost impossible I guess.  She said God told her to join a band.  She told me to do something about it.  Sigh.  How can these religious nuts even interact in a band?  But I did what I was told, because I too am a servant of Allah.
