Qur'an 20211002

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

40.  Say, "Think you to yourselves if there came upon you the Wrath of Allah or the Hour, would you then call upon other than Allah, if you are truthful!"

41.  Say, "No, on God would you call, and if it be God's Will, God would remove which occasioned your call upon God, and you would forget which you join with God."

42.  Before you We sent to many nations, and We afflicted the nations with suffering and adversity, that they might learn humility.

43.  When the suffering reached them from Us, why did they not learn humility?  On the contrary, their hearts became hardened, and Satan made their acts seem alluring to them.

44.  But when they forgot the warning they had received, We opened to them the gates of all things until, in the midst of their enjoyment of Our gifts, of a sudden We called them to account, and they were plunged into despair.

45.  Of the wrongdoers the last remnant was cut off.  Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds.

46.  Say, "Think you if Allah took away your hearing and your sight and sealed up your hearts, who, a god other than Allah, could restore them to you?"  See how We explain the Signs in various ways, yet they turn aside.

47.  Say, "Think you if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?"

(The Cattle 6:40-47)

Friday

 Hi Natty!  How are you today, my Princess?  Are you back in Cali?  I hope everything is going smoothly for you, and you are having a great time.  It's Friday over here.  I spent most of the day in the kitchen.  I made hot sauce in the morning.  It was a good batch.  I found this place which sells packets of ground chillies that are very well done, and pure in flavor.  Not very hot, but high quality.  Which made for a great batch of hot sauce.  Home made sauces attract mold.  Hell, everything attracts mold in the tropics!  Make sure you prepare your body for that, stay dry!  So I put an anti fungal pill in the blender with the sauce.  I don't know if this will work, and keep the mold away.  I sure hope it does.  Lunch was ramen, but I used chicken not fish today.  Ramen is a serious ritual for me, so that took up the rest of the morning until I had to take a shower and head out to the Friday prayer.  I had to cut the grass by the old house in the evening, so I had a simple dinner.  Spaghetti again.  Spaghetti is nice and quick to cook and eat as long as you have the sauce already made.  Anyway, on to the next item on the agenda.  I love you!
