Qur'an 20211005

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

63.  Say, "Who is it that delivers you from the dark recesses of land and sea, when you call upon God in humility and in silent terror, 'If God only delivers us from these, we shall truly show our gratitude'?"

64.  Say, "It is Allah that delivers you from these and all distresses, and yet you worship false gods!"

65.  Say, "God has power to send calamities on you from above and below, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance, each from the other."  See how We explain the Signs by various ways, that they may understand.

66.  But your people reject this.  Say, "Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs."

(The Cattle 6:63-66)

So how's Vancouver doing?

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope you are doing well, and enjoying yourself.  It's been a busy Monday for me.  I went around paying bills this morning.  I suppose I could do it online, but the queue is ridiculously long for the power bill.  Days long, at times.  It's quicker to go to the kiosk and feed the machine with cash.  My Internet bill isn't like the power bill, because the process is instantaneous.  I suppose the logistics are different but whatever the problem is with the power company, it's not the bank's fault.

So how's Vancouver doing?  I suppose I could look it up but I'm asking you, Honey.  You are Canada.  Over here, the price of the kitty litter I always buy has gone up RM2.50!  Yikes!  Serves me right for buying name brand, but I do have a pair of pampered pussycats.  Poultry has gone up, as well.  Eggs are RM10.80 for a grade D 30 tray, when 3 months ago it was RM6.  But otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a supply chain problem.  Everything is available, even easily available, so alhamdulillah.  Now if only I had lots of money...

Now check this out.  Even the water supply is cut.
