Qur'an 20220824

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

51.  The answer of the believers when summoned to Allah and God's messenger, in order that he may judge between them, is no other than this: "We hear and we obey."  It is such as these that will attain felicity.

52.  It is such as obey Allah and God's messenger, and fear Allah and do right, that will win.

53.  They swear their strongest oaths by Allah that, if only you would command them, they would mobilize.  Say, "Swear you not.  Obedience is reasonable.  Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do."

54.  Say, "Obey Allah, and obey the messenger."  But if you turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him, and you for that placed on you.  If you obey him, you shall be on right guidance.  The messenger's duty is only to preach the clear.

55.  Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds that God will, of a surety, grant them in the land inheritance as God granted it to those before them; that God will establish in authority their religion, the one which God has chosen for them; and that God will change the fear of theirs to one of security and peace.  They will worship God and not associate any with God.  If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.

The Light  24:51-55

What a day!

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope everything is easy going for you over there, and you are having a splendid time.  Whew!  My day started early today.  Lookie went into labor at 4 am, and her kittens were premature and didn't survive.  Except one: it came into this world gasping for air, but it didn't die.  However it refused to suckle, so I spent until 10 am on my stomach or my hands and knees coaxing it to grab onto a nipple, but it didn't.  The mother was hysterical, so I had to console her as well, and get her to lie on her side and not give up.  It was raining, so I couldn't go anywhere.  Eventually both I and the mother gave up and reckoned this baby to be doomed.

But as yet, it refuses to die.  So when the rain stopped, I went to the pet supply store and got some kitten formula.  I moved the preemie to a new box and rags in my bedroom, and fed it every couple of hours.  Alhamdulillah, it took the food and seems to be stabilizing.  Lookie wasn't aware yet that the kitten was still alive.  She was howling and crying, and took inside the closet looking for kittens, finally giving up and passing out in there.  Adolf went inside the closet and stayed by her side (they never sleep together).  Eventually it was time to reunite Lookie and her baby, so I brought her into my bedroom.  The baby still wouldn't suckle, but it needed its mother and vice versa.  The mother provides warmth and attention, and the baby helped calm the mother down from her emotional meltdown.  I'm pretty wiped out myself.  You should see Lookie meow and purr at the baby in a most tender way, she's always talking to the baby, and very gently.  Perhaps the baby will take to mother's milk in the future inshaAllah.  What I need is sleep.  I also need to feed the Zam, so I'll probably get around to that when I get back from the mosque after the night prayer.

ALM still crashes on Second Life, so I took Mary's snapshots on Black Dragon.  It's slow, but it works.
