Qur'an 20230208

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

7.  If you reject, truly Allah has no need of you, but God dislikes ingratitude from God's servants.  If you are grateful, God is pleased with you.  No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.  In the end to your Lord is your return, when God will tell you the truth of all that you did, for God Knows Well all that is in hearts.

8.  When some trouble touches man, he cries unto his Lord, turning to God in repentance.  But when God bestows a favor upon him as from God Self, he forgets what he cried and prayed for before, and he sets up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path.  Say, "Enjoy your blasphemy for a little while, verily you are of the companions of the fire!"

9.  Is one who worships devoutly during the hours of the night, prostrating or standing, who takes heed of the hereafter, and who places his hope in the mercy of his Lord... Say, "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?   It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition."

10.  Say, "O you servants who believe!  Fear your Lord.  Good is for those who do good in this world.  Spacious is Allah's earth.  Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!"

And the winner of the 2023 Grammys is...

 

Hi Natty!  Oh, what a nice place!  And pink boots, too.  Is that cured ham on those shelves?  That looks like capicola to me.  Or maybe pancetta.  I used to cook with that shit back at the pizza joint, with gloves on of course.  I don't know what it tastes like, Muslims don't eat pig.

I looked through the outfits people wore on the red carpet at the 2023 Grammys, but I wasn't able to see all of them.  Once I got to Lil CC, the browser froze up.  Coincidence?  Phooey!  I'm just another pawn of the Fashion Industry Political Machine.  But as it is, and since I have bigger fish to fry, I agree with the selection and declare Lil CC to be the winner of the 2023 Grammy awards.  Congratulations, girl!  And don't put your hand on your hip.  It makes you look ghetto.  Now give me some money, Fashion Industry Political Machine.
