Qur'an 20211024

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

158.  Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or your Lord, or certain of the Signs of your Lord?  The day that certain of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before, nor earned righteousness through its faith.  Say, "Wait you: we too are waiting."

159.  As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part in them in the least.  Their affair is with Allah.  God will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.

160.  He that does good shall have ten times as much to his credit.  He that does evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil.  No wrong shall be done unto them.

161.  Say, "Verily my Lord has guided me to a way that is straight, the religion of right, the path by Abraham, the true in faith, and he joined not gods with God."

162.  Say, "Truly my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are for Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds."

163.  No partner has God.  This am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to God's Will.

164.  Say, "Shall I seek for Cherisher other than Allah, when God is the Cherisher of all things?"  Every soul draws on the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.  Your goal in the end is towards God.  God will tell you the truth of the things wherein you disputed.

(The Cattle 6:161-164)

Spaghetti Western

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope all is cool over there for you.  I made spaghetti for dinner for us but I guess you couldn't make it, so I ate the whole lot.  Are you mad at me?  I wanted it hot and spicy for a change, so I added green hot chilli peppers.  Lookie shared my spaghetti on your behalf.  She proved good at eating the noodles right out of the strainer, then sticking her nose into my plate.  She even likes the raw noodles.  Don't worry, Honey.  We'll have spaghetti dinner together someday, inshaAllah.

Instead of sharing my spaghetti, you can watch a Spaghetti Western with me.  I'm so glad this movie is on YouTube!  It's one of my childhood favorites.  "They Call Me Trinity"(1970)- that's the year the Beatles broke up!  The are at least 4 Trinity movies, but only the first 2 are any good.  After that Trinity got serious, and in a weird way.
