Qur'an 20080115
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
59. Say: "Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen. Is better? Allah or the false gods they associate?"
60. Or, who has created the heavens and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight. It is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. God besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice.
61. Or, who has made the earth firm to live in, made rivers in its midst, set thereon mountains immovable, and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? God besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.
62. Or, who listens to the distressed when it calls on God, who relieves its suffering, and makes you inheritors of the earth? God besides Allah? Little it is that you heed!
63. Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before God's mercy? God besides Allah? High is Allah above what they associate with God!
64. Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? God besides Allah? Say, "Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!"
The Ants 27:59-64
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen. Is better? Allah or the false gods they associate?
Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!
Only God is self-sufficient, people are not. People need each other for trade and nurturing, and above that people need God for innumerable sustenance, large and small. While humans till the soil and plant the seed, they are not the ones to create the soil and cause the seed to grow. Neither can they make the sunlight nor the rain.
God is the one who provides sustenance and guidance to whomever God pleases. Whoever God wills to save and protect, no one can harm. To associate others with God is a distorted way of thought, ignorant, apathetic and just plain small-minded.
When humans are in trouble, and at the end of their resources, they find themselves praying for mercy. Who do they pray to? Only God listens the ones in trouble, and changes their condition for the better. Unhappily, when most humans are free from suffering, they forget God, and absorb themselves in themselves.
There is only one God,and we all rely on God, even for the smallest things.

For my wife Claudia
Yes, you are a star, and I am here to help you keep your shine: you can even have some of my shine! While you are my boss, let's not forget that God is The Boss, and God doesn't like egos. Please know that I am not the only one who loves you, and depends on you.
The goal my love, is for us to get together and please God. You are a beautiful soul, aren't you? Let's try to keep the people, and be compassionate. Sure, there are a lot of crooks out there, but let's try to keep our family, the people we love.
Anyhow, you have that beautiful house in England which you worked so hard for. Don't give it up! Then you have all your previous business engagements. Keep the family, and the ones that come to you! Travel only when absolutely necessary- travel is much too dangerous nowadays, especially for one as precious as you! Why? You are now part of a tourist attraction.
It is not a blessing to be idolized, because it angers God. You need to remember this when you conduct your business. Defer all glory to God. I was serious about our doing a stage show together... you can lip-sync and wear pretty clothes, and I can make music, and sit on the floor somewhere on stage. Why is this plausible?
About 3 years ago, God put the voices of some dead women in my head. Today, I am able to sing Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter, and Billie Holiday quite accurately. That, and Doris Day, too. There are fans of all ages across the globe who love these women. Their voices are so beautiful, people would believe it better if you were onstage with me, because you are beautiful, and I am modest, InsyaAllah. And we can be onstage together because we're married. Also, I have original music.
The purpose is to attract people to you: England in summer,Tempe in winter. People flocking in from all over the world. They went on vacation to see the show. To hear these women come back to life, by the grace of God. To see you strut around in pretty clothes. To rock out to Shadowplay. And as a bonus, they get to see the Big Ben and the Grand Canyon.
The target audience is average, God-fearing people, so you must market modest clothes and fashion designers. Create a real estate zone of family, and people you trust (it's harder for me to do so here in Tempe, because you are all my family besides Malaysia.) Build a concert zone, a concert zone that is built like a mall, or shopping complex. This real estate zone should include sets and virtual worlds for your patrons to visit, and for your acting bug . Remember, cut down on all travel, my precious beauty!
Begin with Japan, China and Karen Carpenter, with a little bit of Sailor Moon... not too much! Put marketing in all other countries besides UK and USA on hold for now. Let businesses from said countries bid for property in your real estate zone, then market in those 4 countries. Sell vacation packages!
I will need clone singers. 4 women, each assigned to sing Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter, Billie Holiday and Doris Day, respectively. Why? Recruiting these women is excellent promotion, then they can do touring and promotion once selected. Also, you got backup if something happens to me.

Qur'an 20080104
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
71. And whoever repents and does good has
truly turned to Allah with a conversion-
72. Those who witness no falsehood, and if they
pass by futility, they pass it with honor;
73. Those who, when they are admonished with
the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them
as if they were deaf or blind;
74. And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us
wives and offspring who will be the comfort of
our eyes, and give us to lead the righteous."
75. These are the ones who will be rewarded
with the highest place in heaven, because of
their patient constancy: therein they shall be
met with salutations and peace,
76. Dwelling therein- how beautiful an abode
and a place of rest!
77. Say: "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if
you call not on God, but you have indeed
rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."
The Criterion 25:71-77
__________________________________
Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who
will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us to
lead the righteous.
My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call
not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and
soon will come the inevitable.
Human rejection of God occurs over and over
again, this is taught repeatedly in the Qur'an.
The end result is the destruction of entire
populations.
Here God states some of the characteristics of
those who will be delivered to heaven, after the
short stay on earth.
God also instructs the believers to warn the
unbelievers, that God acknowledges their
rejection of Faith, that the rejection has no
effect on God, and soon the unbelievers will get
the convincing that they asked for.
Merciful.

Qur'an 20080102
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
54. It is God who created man from water: then has God established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has Power.
55. Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is a helper against his Lord!
56. But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.
57. Say: "No reward do I ask of you but this: that each one who will may take a path to his Lord."
58. And put thy trust in God who lives and dies not, and celebrate God's praise, and enough is God to be acquainted with the faults of God's servants.
59. God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne. The Most Gracious: ask thou then about God, of any acquainted.
60. When it is said to them, "Adore you the Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is the Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which thou commandest us?" And it increases their flight.
The Criterion 25:54-60

From now on there will be no more ads on this blog. There will be some ads on the website, but that's because it is a music website. May Allah forgive me for my shortcomings.
God is the one who gave me my family, and protects us, if God wills. I put my trust in Allah. That makes Allah my first Boss, and my wife my second boss. Praise Allah!
But people worship idols and fictitious characters besides God, and create actions and words to bring God down. God gives Magnificence, but when these people are invited to God, they question God's Glory, they question the invitation, then retreat in soul, body and mind before receiving any glory!

Qur'an 20071231
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
4. But the unbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.
5. And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written, and they are dictated before him morning and evening."
6. Say: "This was sent down by God who knows the Mystery in the heavens and the earth: verily God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
7. And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to himto give admonition with him?"
8. "Or why has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or a garden that he may eat out of it?" The wicked say: "You follow none other than a man bewitched."
9. See what kind of companions they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!
The Criterion 25:4-9
-------------------------------------------------------------
This was sent down by God who knows the Mystery in the heavens and the earth: verily God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
I bear witness that Allah is the only God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Skepticism is not an act of faith. Skepticism is great for human business and debate, but it is inaccurate to point the finger of doubt at others besides oneself regarding the Business of God.
Skeptics of the Qur'an create lies to argue that the Qur'an is a lie. Firstly, they believe the Qur'an was created by a conspiracy of humans. Then they argue that the Qur'an is myth- tales of the past which was somewhat true then became fiction, with a group of writers renewing the fiction.
Look beyond the food that you are about to put in your mouth and the money you have in your pockets, how did it get there? Are humans absolutely self-sufficient? Did they create the dirt that grows the produce, or the metal that makes their coins? If they did, why then is the world running out of natural resources?
When we drive, we can't see a car coming around the bend, but we acknowledge that there probably is one there. Why don't we get skeptical about that? There obviously exists a mystery beyond one's line of sight. While everyone acknowledges the existence of things people can't see, there are still people denying the existence of God.
Of the prophets of God, human skeptics didn't acknowledge their office because the prophets had to eat, walked the streets, were not of a superior species, didn't have enough money, and didn't have enough property. Then they always return to the assertion that the Revelation of God is a revelation of a human being.
To people of Faith, God is the Truth, and there is no other Way. To deny God is to choose to be lost. True, it is hard to snap out of selfish human perceptions. Skeptics of God compound their denial with more denial, and totally lose their way.

Qur'an 20071227
Qur'an 20071227
30. Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that would make for greater purity for them, and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
31. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that they should not display their beauty except what appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms, and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons,or their sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers! Turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain bliss.
The Light 24:30 & 31
------------------------------------------------------------
Modesty.
Everywhere we look around we see, especially among women, wanton displays of their figures, in states of dress and undress. This has become the norm all over the world, not just the USA.
It wasn't always like this: modesty in dress was prevalent all over, even in the USA, as recent as 40 years ago. Nowadays, modesty is only a small aspect of dress. Some would say that it is progress. Let us not forget that primitive tribes and ancient pagan cultures dress similarly. A regression of civilization has occured.
Modesty is simple to me: cover all skin with loose clothing, look at the ground most of the time, and don't talk so much.
I do like to dress really pretty for my spouse, but otherwise I'm grateful I don't have to go around naked. Am I modest? Allah be my judge!
In the 2 verses above we see how different modesty is for men and for women. Also we see the incredible nuance in language as Allah states the limitations in female dress. I am at a loss to tell you exactly what God means by all the detail given: I would just try to follow the orders as simply and explicitly as possible, and pray for forgiveness. For further guidance, please check the arabic Qur'an, and the genuine teachings of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
I am in awe of the power of a beautiful woman, specifically my spouse. There is definitely some kind of supernatural power that some women have in their beauty. Modesty keeps that power under control, so it doesn't destroy weaker minds and hearts.
In other women not so gifted, the wanton display of their bodies depreciates the power of whatever beauty they do have, into meaninglessness. Very UNsexy.
We are all just one step away from Hell, if it were not for the mercy of God. Modesty helps us control our lusts, and guard our actions thereof.
