Qur'an 20210821

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

127.  They ask your instruction concerning the women.  Say, "Allah does instruct you about them, and what has been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom you give not the portions prescribed and yet whom you desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that you stand firm for justice to orphans."  There is not a good deed which you do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.

(The Women 4:127)

Elephants don't forget

 

Hi Natty!  Oh, fun!  That looks like a nice office space.  It even looks cat proof, except for the stuff on the window sills.  Where are you now, Honey?  Those towers in the background suggest that you are back in LA, but the streets look awfully clean.  That's a nice serving of hummus and pita bread.  The bread looks nice and fat, and the hummus looks a bit dark.  Is it one of those crazy California flavors?  Like mesquite smoked or chocolate hummus?  Ew!  I don't like chocolate flavored anything unless it's chocolate, and it better taste good.  I have some lentils just sitting around in my cooler, maybe it's time to make some hummus for you.  That bread looks like it was baked in a shallow pan then flipped over.  That would be a little more challenging for me since I only have a toaster oven.  I think I'll make that a project some time in the future: hummus for Natty.  I think I'll steam the hummus in banana leaves.

I watched this movie when I was a kid.  As far as I remember, it was a sad story.  The elephant died.  The movie is on YouTube if you want to watch it.  It's called "Haathi mere Saathi."  No subtitles, though.
