Qur'an 20140907

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

115.  Did you then think that We had created you as a joke, and that you would not be brought back to Us?

116.  Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality, there is no god but God, the Lord of the Throne of Honor!

117.  If anyone invokes, besides Allah, any other god, he has no authority therefor, and his reckoning will be only with his Lord.  And verily the unbelievers will fail to win through.

118.  So say, "O my Lord!  Grant Your forgiveness and mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!"

The Believers  23:115-118

O my Lord!  Grant Your forgiveness and mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!

Letter to Julia 20140906


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

Hello, my beloved wives.  How are you feeling, my darlings?  I pray you are feeling healthy and happy.  My kittens are 4 weeks old already, and they seem all right.  Alhamdulillah.  Soon they will be taking baby food, and I'll be taking mama cat to the vet for a contraceptive shot.  They're still sleeping a lot, but when they are ready to play, they start jumping around in their box like a bunch of jumping spiders.  They're so adorable.  I was in a bad mood all Friday, but they cheered me right up.  I'm still a little grumpy, mostly because I still don't have my wives with me, so please forgive me if I don't have much to say today.  Please know that I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Letter to Julia 20140904


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

Back during the time when I had no home, I was staying at a mosque in a sort of religious exile.  One day there was a forum going on at the mosque, and one of the kids asked the teacher, "Is it true that prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) never made any mistakes?"  The teacher replied, "If he did, then Allah compensated for him."  Well, I'm definitely not a prophet, and I make mistakes all the time.  I wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't made any mistakes?  My music is full of mistakes, in fact I consider it "The music of mistakes."  So if I had had perfect conduct, I wouldn't have had any music.

I'm pleased that you have become more vigilant, after all, if you expect the treachery of humans, then no human will ever disappoint you.  What is it are you protecting?  You have God-given beauty obviously, and I pray that you are also protecting your innocence, chastity, and piety.  There's no such thing as perfect happiness in this life, but we want to try to be happy, right?  So you must be optimistic, and work for happiness.  Don't consider yourselves "the two Juliets".  Plus, there are good people out there.  Yes, they do exist.  We want to be good people, right?  Ya Allah, please help, protect, and guide us.  When we are married inshaAllah, I will help to protect you.  But Allah is the Best to Protect.  Please be grateful to Allah for guiding you to Islam.

I need to inform you that it is the death penalty to possess illegal firearms in Malaysia.  While it is possible to obtain a license here to wield a gun, you can't bring them into the country.  Meanwhile, please take good loving care of yourselves in my absence, please try to hide your beauty, and maintain your prayers.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140904


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

86.  Say, "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne Supreme?"

87.  They will say, "Allah."  Say, "Will you not then be filled with awe?"

88.  Say, "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, Who protects, but is not protected, if you know?"

89.  They will say, "Allah."  Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

90.  We have sent them the Truth, but indeed they practice falsehood!

91.  No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with God.  Behold!  Each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others!  Glory to Allah, from the things they attribute to God!

92.  God knows what is hidden, and what is open.  Too high is God for the partners they attribute to God!

93.  Say, "O my Lord!  If You will show me that which they are warned against,"

94.  "Then O my Lord!  Put me not among the people who do wrong!"

95.  And We are certainly able to show you that against which they are warned.

96.  Repel evil with that which is best.  We are well acquainted with the things they say.

97.  And say, "O my Lord!  I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones."

The Believers  23:86-97
----------------------------------------------------------

Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne Supreme?

Will you not then be filled with awe?

Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, Who protects, but is not protected, if you know?

Then how are you deluded?

O my Lord!  If You will show me that which they are warned against, then O my Lord!  Put me not among the people who do wrong!

O my Lord!  I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones.

Letter to Julia 20140903


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

My dearest Julia and Erin, my beautiful, darling wives, I love you so much.  You are my life and afterlife, I want to give you happiness and help protect you.  I pray that you are feeling on top of the world, and I assure you inshaAllah that you are at the top of your game, so please maintain your prayers.  You are so beautiful, you are the most beautiful girls in the world, because you are MY girls.  MINE, MINE.  Thank you for your love.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Do you remember September of last year?  I swear to you that I was completely clueless, and was just going with the flow.  I didn't want to do or say anything to hurt Julia's feelings.  But Allah clued me in that Julia would have a super tough time being the only blonde in Perlis plus having to live in the Public Eye with me, and warned me not leave a certain other girl hanging in limbo, but I didn't know who she was.  It was her sad eyes that made me know for certain that she is my second wife.  There was no calculation, I was just stupid.  And we were all just dancing to a show that never ends.

Qur'an 20140903


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

78.  It is God who has created for you hearing, sight, feeling, and understanding.  Little thanks it is you give!

79.  And God has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered back.

80.  It is God Who gives life and death, and to God the alternation of night and day.  Will you not then understand?

81.  On the contrary, they say things similar to what the ancients said.

82.  They say, "What!  When we become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?"

83.  "Such things have been promised to us and our fathers before!  They are nothing but tales of the ancients!"

84.  Say, "To whom belong the earth and all things therein?  If you know!"

85.  They will say, "To Allah!"  Say, "Yet, will you not receive admonition?"

The Believers 23:78-85
---------------------------------------------------------

To whom belong the earth and all things therein?  If you know!

Yet, will you not receive admonition?
----------------------------------------------------------

Ya Allah, thank You for all You have given me.  Please forgive me as I will never be able to thank You adequately.

Letter to Julia 20140902


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

My dearest, gorgeous Julia, I really want you to have your own bathroom.  I feel humiliated to have you share my shower.  You are my Queen, and I want you to have a Queen's bathroom which, when we marry and you move into this little house with me while we supervise the building of your house inshaAllah, would be part of an entire room of this little house reserved strictly for your wardrobe.  Sigh!  Life is full of unattainable dreams of various magnitudes.  Please pray that Allah allows me the means to treat you as the Queen that you are, because I love you, and I need you.  Besides, Boss Spider has been hanging out in my toilet for the past 7 months, and while I accept that you wouldn't want to deal with him, I don't want you to hurt him either because he is a friend of mine.  There's so much I need to give you a good married life.  And sweet beautiful Erin, I want you to have the same, for you are my Queen too.  You wouldn't have to live in this little house when we marry inshaAllah, that's why Julia with all due respect is the Boss Wife.  I don't want you to be unhappy with me, you are so precious to me, and I want to give you the best of tender loving care, because I love you, and I need you.

My compound was a mess, because for the past few days 4 mature trees had been broken down to be removed.  My Dad arranged to have that done for which I am grateful.  Thanks, Dad.  After they remove everything by truck, there will be much tidying up to do.  But actually, they did quite a good job of cleaning up, so my task is light.  Alhamdulillah.  Meanwhile, please take good loving care of yourselves in my absence, and be good girls that the world would be proud of.
