In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
11. Say, "Verily I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion."
12. And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to God in Islam.
13. Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the penalty of a Mighty Day."
14. Say, "It is Allah I serve, with my sincere devotion."
15. Serve you what you will besides God. Say, "Truly those in loss are those who lose their own souls and their people on the Day of Judgement. Ah, that is indeed the evident loss!"
16. They shall have layers of fire above them, and layers below them. With this does Allah warn God's servants: "O My servants! Then fear you Me!"
17. Those who eschew evil and fall not into its worship, and turn to Allah: for them is good news. So announce the good news to My servants.
18. Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best in it. Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.
The crowds 39:11-18

It is Allah I serve, with my sincere devotion.

Qur'an 20150304
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 Godself, he forgets what he cried and prayed for before, and he sets up rivals for 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 prostating 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!"
The crowds 39:7-10
----------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy your blasphemy for a little while, verily you are of the companions of the fire!
Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.
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!

Letter to Erin 20150302
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello, my dearest Erin. How are you feeling today? Right now, I am preparing my taxes. As you may already know, Shadowplay is a legal and registered business of Malaysia for about 5 years already, but Shadowplay as a music has been around since 1989. Yes, as old as you. Nothing to get excited about though. I have had 0 sales and services, and the only donations have been from my parents. That's right, I've been living off my Mommy all this while. How humiliating. Any normal person would be beyond despair and dead at their own hands, but I desire to be faithful, and the faithful do not despair. This is my service to Allah. I seek my reward from Allah, and I have faith that Allah will grant me all I need inshaAllah. I need to make music. I need to go to Hajj. I need to marry you. I love you, and I need you.

Letter to Erin 20150228
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi there, my beloved Erin. How are you today, Sweetheart? Me, I'm longing for toys as usual. Tools, rather. When it comes to music, I do so love to work. But I have learned to slow down in my old age. For when the music's over, so is the musician.
I saw that video of you in that Swimsuit 2015 Swimville, in Nashville I presume, and I must say that it went by incredibly fast. Oh my God! She's naked! I'm going to get shot! Ya Allah, please protect us! But I must be grateful with what Allah has given me. Right, everybody? Like I said, it went by so quickly, and I'm sure the time sped by faster for you since you experienced it first hand. So I slowed the video down to quarter speed. Please don't feel like I'm trying to gain humor at your expense. Everyone sounds funny when their voices are slowed down or sped up, especially me. More than that, one is able to see the nuances of the event, like the props, the background, the expressions on people's faces, the expressions on your face. One thing I noticed is that the girls looked really frumpy lined up on that stage. Not you of course in your slick black, because you are my Rock and Roll Babe, and I love you with all my heart. But don't you feel sorry for all the other girls, looking like that? Obviously they spent big bucks on the event, so why do the girls have to look bargain basement? I suggest next time, they collaborate with a fashion house.
Life goes by fast in the fast lane, and don't think because you are still young, you can handle the pressure on your heart. Don't compensate with drugs and alcohol. Listen to me on this, Erin! I'm very protective of you! The best way to force time to slow down is prayer, plus Allah will help compensate for the stuff you missed, inshaAllah. Of course I appreciate you. I appreciate how beautiful you are and what a sweetheart you are, so please don't lose that. I want you to know that you are loved. I love you, and I need you.

67. Say, "That is the Message Supreme."
