YOOOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Hi Julia, my darling. How are you feeling today? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. I'm sure you know that Perlis is susceptible to flooding. It hasn't flooded for the past 2 years, but you know how the weather can change in a blink of an eye. This means that Casa de Julia cannot have a basement. In fact, the foundation floor has to be about a meter from the ground for the house to have the best possibility of staying completely dry. A massive deluge can flood the cesspool, and you can't flush the toilet (unless your toilet is on the 2nd floor, even though it would affect the toilets on the ground floor) until the water recedes. Well, you CAN flush, but I'm not going to clean it. I want to prepare the house for floods, but flooding is nothing to really worry about unless the rice fields turn into a miniature sea.
Please don't be so trustful of the people you encounter, and their example of how you should conduct your religion. It is best that you establish your own relationship with the Qur'an, and God. If you are sincere, then Allah will guide and befriend you. If you need an example, then study prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). Please maintain your prayers, as you are my girl, and we are Muslim.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Dearest Julia, I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. Of course I still love you. How could I not? You are so beautiful, you are MY girl, and I want to marry you. I did tell you that I've been talking too much lately, so I am feeling reclusive and lazy right now, more than I usually am. So I stayed home and watched TV all the time, other than taking Chee Cheah to the vet, and going out to buy snacks. But I had to reorganize my hard drive, so my computer had to work 24/7, and so did I, to keep an eye on it. So much for being lazy. You must be working hard. Please believe, and be righteous. Allah will grant us beautiful gardens together. InsyaAllah.
Meanwhile, how about you watch a movie? This features and is directed by P. Ramlee, one of the greatest Malay stars, who died young at the age of 44. It also somehow reminds me of politics in Malaysia (both sides).

Hi there, my dearest Julia. I've been talking too much lately, so now I feel extra reclusive and lazy. Oh, I'm soooo lazy. I just want to watch TV and snuggle with my Julia. But she's not here, so I just watch TV. I love you, Julia. I need snacks.

Now you're probably asking yourself, "Why didn't God protect the younger sibling from the jealous wrath of his brother if God had preferred him over the other?" Anyone who studies the Qur'an would know that the younger brother offered himself up for sacrifice with the intention of letting the older brother carry the burden of both their sins. But it didn't stop there: from this incident God decreed that if anyone committed a murder, it would be as if he slew an entire race of people. Now this happened a long time ago: the two brothers were sons of Adam, which could mean mankind before the Qur'an, or more likely the first generation offspring of Adam, the first human. That would probably spiritually account for all the wars since the beginning of the human race.
But the human mind is too feeble to calculate its own past. Probably in another 50 years time, people will say that President Kennedy never got shot, along with those who say, "Who's Kennedy?" We Muslims are instructed to take account of the unseen as a fundamental aspect of human existence. Even the stupidest people cannot deny that there might be something unseen around the corner as they drive.

3. The God of mankind,
4. From the mischief of the Whisperer, who withdraws,
5. Who whispers into the hearts of mankind,
6. Among Jinns, and among men."

This chapter wraps up the Qur'an as we know it today, with a summary of existence: humans (and Jinns) are in conflict with Satan (a Jinn), until Judgment Day.

Are you the jealous type, Julia? I wouldn't want you to cheat on me, and I wouldn't cheat on you for the same reason. You would probably want me to be a little jealous, but that has nothing to do with our agreement of honor to each other. And would I be jealous of the people who make millions as a by-product of the music that Allah granted me, while all they know is how to take, with no clue on how to give, not even a little bit so I can buy some coffee? Actually, I don't care. Allah will deal directly eventually with the oppressive, and I probably wouldn't even hear about it. Sure, I get unhappy that I can't afford to marry my Julia, and buy all the toys and snacks that I want, but I'm not jealous with them about that. Allah is the One Who enlarges or restricts the provision of whoever God wills.
The tormented rock star with many enemies routine has been done before. I was listening to "The Wall", then cringed when I heard Roger Waters mug Sha Na Na. I grew up on that album. Then throughout my life I came into blows with people who were jealous with what I had/have. Certainly what Allah gives is better than the wealth they amass. That's between them and God, why be jealous with me? But they want to be jealous. That's just how they feel. Everybody gets jealous. It's justified. Kill.
The Qur'an tells a story of a brother who got jealous with his younger sibling who was preferred by God, then murdered him. This shows that jealousy reaches down to their spiritual level but again, that's between them and God. You must have some old women who are jealous of your beauty. Jealousy is a basic human suicide bomb, and it is NOT a blessing. But God offers protection for the sincere believers. The Only One Who has the Strength to protect. The Lord of the dawn.
