Qur'an 20131012

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

74.  Why turn they not to Allah, and seek God's forgiveness?  For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.

75.  Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger.  Many were the messengers that passed away before him.  His mother was a woman of truth.  They both had to eat their food.  See how Allah does make God's Signs clear to them.  Yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!

76.  Say, "Will you worship, besides Allah, something which has no power either to harm or benefit you?  But Allah: God it is that Hears and Knows all things."

77.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Exceed not in your religion the bounds trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by, who misled many, and strayed from the Even Way."

The Repast 5:74-77

Letter to Julia 20131010

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

Hello there, my precious beauties.  The rain finally stopped, so I got a chance to cut the grass around Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  I have my own gasoline powered weed whacker, and cutting grass is quite a physica labor.  But I have to admit that I enjoy it somewhat.  I get to think and plan about the house that I will build for my sweeties inshaAllah.  I prefer using a metal blade because it saves on gasoline, and I have better control, but the plastic blades is easier to use around rocks, even though it spits rock and other stuff all over the place, and at my face.  I used the plastic blades today.  Of course there are occasional cat poo traps around the yard, and I have to be careful there.  I don't want cat poo splattered over my face.  Lately, there has been a lot of clover growing around Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  I like clover.  It doesn't grow tall, and it blocks the growth of weeds.  But the clumps of clover were gigantic today.  Would there happen to be someone of Irish blood in the family, perhaps?

Dinner was quick and easy: chicken and bamboo shoot stew.  While I was still dripping with sweat from cutting the grass, I heated the pot with grease, then threw in my chicken, garlic, onions, bamboo shoots, then added water to a boil then squeezed in a couple of limes, and a block of chicken stock.  I had a bit of Siamese hot sauce with basil that my Dad gave me, so I put a forkful of that in.  Its wasn't necessary, but since I had it, I used it.  Go with the flow, you know.  I let that simmer while I took a shower and prayed the sunset prayer, then my delicious and nutritious dinner was ready to eat.  Want some?  Oh, I ate it all!  Next time you girls please show up for dinner.

I plan to do a lot of cooking with and for you, my loved ones.  InshaAllah.  And inshaAllah, there should be hired help to do the house cleaning and gardening.  I don't intend to ever, ever leave you on your own.  I'm even afraid to leave you to throw out the garbage.  That's the way it's going to be, my loves.  This is my mission, to please Allah with music.  From this little corner of the world, we'll build a world of our own, where the music will reach all over the world, and the people will turn to Allah, inshaAllah.  This is my and our isolation.  All we'll have is each other, and we'll be with each other all the time, and do everything together.  Everything, inshaAllah.  I'll wait for you and watch you while watching Shadowplay TV on my laptop at the hair salon.  We'll shop for makeup and toiletries together.  Whatever.  We are family.  Ya Allah, please protect us and grant us happiness together, in this life as well as the hereafter.

Qur'an 20131010

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

68.  Say, "O people of the Book!  You have no ground to stand upon unless you stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord."  It is the revelation that comes to you from your Lord, that increases in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy.  But sorrow you not over people without faith.

69.  Those who believe, those who follow the Jewish, and the Sabians, and the Christians: any who believe in Allah, and the Last Day, and work righteousness- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

The Repast 5:68-69

O people of the Book!  You have no ground to stand upon unless you stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.

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

YOOOOOOLIIIIIEEEE!!!!

Of course I can sense how you feel all the way over here in my loneliness.  And it's not just soulmate bonding, it's also plain and simple logic.  If you feel unhappy, then I also feel unhappy, and angry at what makes you unhappy.  Don't you believe that I truly love you?  Can't you sense how deeply I care for you?  I admit that I can be obtuse sometimes, but not right now.  I love you, Julia.  Of course our circumstance is serious, and we have to be cautious, but you also have to be optimistic and faithful.  If you are in despair, that means you have no faith.  So put your trust in Allah, maintain your prayers, and always look for the positive.  You are MY girl, and I will marry you.  InshaAllah.

The same goes for you, Erin.  Did you think I couldn't sense that you were heartbroken?  But I have to think of both of you, and I was already promised to Julia, which effectively makes her the boss of this situation.  I'm sure you understand that.  But I do love you, and I want to hold you in my arms and comfort you, and I will marry you.  InshaAllah.  So you be positive too.  Don't go looking for just the bad things.  Be cautious, but be positive.  Put your trust in Allah, and pray.

And both of you, do not make friends with those who make fun and jokes of Islam, whether they be atheists, pagans, or otherwise.  Turn away from them.

Ouch.  I'm getting severe eye strain from looking at both of you.  My left eye is tearing up badly, so I have to pull my glasses so close to my face with hair ties, that my eyeballs touch the glass.  But I am so happy and grateful, you both are so beautiful, and I love you both with all my heart.  I probably won't be writing tomorrow.  I can't explain why in this blog, otherwise I'll get crowded out.  And I usually don't blog on Fridays and Sundays.  Please forgive me.

Qur'an 20131008

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

59.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us, and that which came before, and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

60.  Say, "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, by the treatment it received from Allah?  Those who incurred the curse of Allah and God's wrath, those of whom God transformed into apes and swine, those who worshiped evil: these are worse in rank, and far more astray from the even Path!"

The Repast 5:59-60

"People of the Book": the Qur'an is the Book too, right?  I assume this includes people who call themselves "Muslim".

Letter to Julia 20131007

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

YOOOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!

Should I tell her what the password means, Julia?  Or should I let her figure it out for herself?  After all, she is a very intelligent girl.  Perhaps you can explain to her what the password means.  If you want.  Or I will.... eventually.

It's been raining consistently since last Thursday.  I got thoroughly drenched the last time I blogged.  Now, don't be so serious, Julia.  Smile for me, please!  Would you like to play chess with me?   I'm not that good, so I'll most likely lose.  How about watching TV?  I'm not that fond of sports, but I'll sit with you.  I'm not distracting you, am I?  I love you, Julia.  Let's bake some cookies together.

You didn't like it when I referred to you as "sweet and innocent", did you Erin?  Well face it girl, that's what makes you sexually attractive.  You will never be able to match Julia's intensity and sophistication, and even if you tried, it would be your sweetness and innocence that makes you sexy.  So you know what?  You should guard that innocence.  Build a psychic wall NOW around your innocence.  Don't wait until your innocence is destroyed before you build your psychic wall.  Truly blessed is the person who lives to an old age and dies with his/her innocence intact.  Here, I'll help.  Come sit with me on the couch and hold me tight.  I will protect you and Julia, inshaAllah.  But don't ever forget that Allah is the Best to protect. I love you, Erin.

Letter to Julia 20131005

Hi there, my beloved Julia.  While I was organizing my last letter, I came across the e-mail I wrote to Louisa Models requesting your attention to a marriage proposal.  This was a text file.  Thus I found out, and thereof remember, the exact date when I proposed to you: July 22, 2009.  It's been almost 4 years and 3 months!  I love you, Julia.

Oh Erin my sweet sunshine, I'm sorry I didn't post the song I offered as dowry with my last letter.  Google rejected my .mp3, and wanted a video file instead.  And I don't even have a camera.  It's not as if I would want to post my mug on a video.  I'm not pretty like you and Julia.  But here it is today, inshaAllah.  I love you, Erin.

I'm not just saying that either.  How could I not love both of you?  That would be illogical.  You both know I have a terrible weakness for pretty blondes.  You both should know how I feel right now for both of you, but I will tell you anyway.  Intense and sophisticated Julia, a German girl.  Sweet and innocent Erin, an American girl.  I am so very grateful to Allah, and to you both, for your love.  Only Allah could have made you love me.

I have a request for both of you.  It's just my own selfish, weak desire.  Could you both please stay fit, not get any tans, and stay as blonde as possible all the time?  Thank you.
