Qur'an 20210720

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

168.  The ones that say while they themselves sit, "If only they had listened to us, they would not have been slain."  Say, "Avert death from your own selves, if you speak the truth."

(The Family of Imran 3:168)

Heat and rain

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  Keeping cool?  I looked at the map to see that you're far away from the fires, so alhamdulillah.  It was hot here today, but it's cooled down a little bit.  It hasn't rained in about a week, so I took the opportuniy to spray the mango trees for ants.  They like to feed on baby leaves, and rain always washes away the poison.  It's interesting how the weather became distorted on your birthday, huh?  

I'm blogging a little early today.  I'm fasting today.  The 9th day of Zulhijjah (the 9th day of the Hajj ritual) is a good day to fast, and I do it each year inshaAllah.  I haven't started dinner yet, because I don't want my fries to get cold.  Damn, I haven't had cold fries in years.  Maybe I should wait until after sunset before I cook them up?  Anyway, I hope you are safe and healthy and enjoying yourself.  I love you!
