Qur'an 20210602

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

219.  They ask you concerning booze and gambling.  Say, "In them is great sin, and some benefit, for mankind, but the sin is greater than the benefit."  They ask you how much they are to spend.  Say, "What is beyond your needs."  Thus does Allah make clear to you God's Signs, in order that you may consider.

220.  About this life and the Hereafter.  They ask you concerning orphans.  Say, "The best thing to do is what is for their good."  If you mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren.  But Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good.  And if Allah had willed, God could have put you into difficulties.  God is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise.

The Heifer 2:219-220

Plunder

 Hi Natty Honey.  How are you feeling today?  Ever since I found you, I always thought you had stars in your eyes.  That you wanted to be a star too but unlike your brother, because you are shy somewhat.  Are you still that shy?  Do you remember when I asked you to dress up to go to the movies and you did, but your buddies didn't dress up?  You looked so uncomfortable, and that made me feel bad.  I never asked you to do so again.  Do you still want to be a star?  Suddenly it's within your grasp, plus it's something for you to do while you wait for me.  At first I would rather you keep yourself in a nice cottage in the Vancouver highlands away from the spotlight, maybe teach some yoga or do some community work for the Canadian government, use that degree of yours.  Then after doing some studying, I started to think that it might be best for you to become a star.  Get it out of your system, and use your position to do good for others.  You must be comfortable with it though, so it's up to you.  Attitude is everything.

I got interested in this guy's video because he showcased the homeless, the failed retail, and the excessive construction in LA.  Take note of that, Natty: Los Angeles is not self-sustaining.  The money is coming somewhere from outside.  That means that a successful Hollywood show or star has to be international in nature.  You already have that inshaAllah.  You are MY girl.  Then after that, being a star in Hollywood means luxury and glitter in a city of homeless.  That is the star, shining bright amidst the devastation.  Prepare your heart, and be a good woman.  Then the guy started to talk about cryptocurrency, and wondered why people are eating it up.  Like yeah, man!  Duh!  It's basic greed.  It's called "plunder", and it's a proven way of conducting business.  If an animal were profitable, then you hunt it down until it becomes extinct.  If the environment could sustain more pollution, then you cram it with more and more garbage until it becomes unlivable.
