Qur'an 20160914

104.  Know they not that Allah does accept repentance from God's votaries and receives their gifts of charity, and that Allah is God, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful?

105.  And say, "Work: soon will Allah observe your work, and God's messenger, and the believers.  Soon will you be brought back to the Knower of what is hidden and what is open, then will God show you the truth of all that you did."

(The Repentance 9:104-105)

Ah Erin, I know you're longing to see my photos

You take great photos, you know that?  Always well-centered and relevant.  Have you ever thought of being behind the camera?  That way you can pour your heart out to the world and use other people's faces.  And music, too.  Right now, I have to make do with a crummy cell phone camera.  InshaAllah, I will get one of those magnesium-alloy DSLRs, doesn't overheat!  What do you think?

Nat, you're doing absolutely great!  Please have fun, get plenty of rest, and eat properly.  And always know that you people who love you, OK?

Piene, is your heart aching after the recent excitement?  Just be cool, Sweetie.  Everything will be OK inshaAllah.

Hello there

Today is the Eid.  Muslims celebrate Ramadan, and the @ Eids.  It's kind of having 2 Christmases.  The first Eid is the celebration at the end of Ramadan the fasting month known as Eid el Fitr, and the second Eid is the celebration of the end of the Hajj ritual known as Eid el Adha, which is today.  They always sacrifice livestock during this period, which will happen tomorrow.  I'm going to help them portion out the meat inshaAllah.  It should be a feast for the eyes, so I will be taking photos.  Lots of food today.  I had breakfast at my parents' house, and I made some curry pups (photo below).

Hey there, Stud Woman!  You are WORKING it!  Do you like college sports?  I'm not a sports fan, but you should dabble in following a college sport.  Or some college pastime.  College Queen.

I've posted this song before, but I thought I would post it again.

Qur'an 20160912

94.  They will present their excuses to you when you return to them.  Say, "Present no excuses, we shall not believe you: Allah has already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you.  It is your actions that Allah and God's messenger will observe, in the end you will be brought back to God Who knows what is hidden and what is open, then God will show you the truth of all that you did."

(The Repentance 9:94)

I love you, Erin

How are you, Sweetheart?  Are you getting lots of rest and catching up on your video games?

Piene, I hope you're feeling better.  How's your tummy?  Just be cool, and take life slowly.  You're such a beautiful girl.  Enjoy your career, OK?

Not, are you studying hard?  You looked as proud as a peacock at that Tommy Hilfiger show!  Remember what I told you, and stretch out your college education.  I want you to be College Queen for as long as possible OK?

I was busy today, but not on the Internet.  No photos at the disco, as you can see.

Qur'an 20160911

81.  Those who were left behind rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the messenger of Allah, they hated to strive and fight with their goods and their persons in the cause of Allah, they said, "Go not forth in the heat."  Say, "The fire of hell is fiercer in heat."  If they only could understand!

82.  Let them laugh a little, much will they weep: a recompense for that that they do.

83.  If then Allah brings you back to any one of them and they ask your permission to come out, say, "Never shall you come out with me, nor fight an enemy with me, for you preferred to sit inactive on the first occasion, then sit you with those who lag behind."

84.  Nor do you ever pray for any one of them that dies, nor stand at his grave, for they rejected Allah and God's messenger, and died in a state of perverse rebellion.

(The Repentance 9:81-84)

Note that it was the act of no action on the first occasion that caused them to die in a state of perverse rebellion.

Poor Piene!

Piene, you're frightened!  Aw poor little sweetheart, everything will be OK inshaAllah (if God wills).  Big business is scary.  You're so young, and you don't have experience.  So please read up regularly on world events if you want to travel and do business.

MashaAllah (by the Will of God), everyone wants my girl, that makes you hot property and big business.  You are a superstar model, maybe too suddenly, but please treat yourself as precious jewels, and keep yourself safe.  For right now, please get plenty of sleep, and eat simple foods.  No spicy foods!  Calm your heart, everything will be OK inshaAllah.

I have to live my life in the Public Eye, and my wife must do the same.  It's awful to have no privacy all of a sudden, but it can be an incredible boost to your career as a model.  Yours and your bosses.  No we're not married yet, but people are crazy right?  This makes life exciting, doesn't it?  True safety is the protection of God, so please pray.  And please don't get greedy.  I want you to post on your Instagram regularly, so I know that you're OK and what you're doing.

As recently as earlier this year, I had another desire for a wife.  She was tempted by wealth, and became involved with organized crime.  She got greedy, fell under their control, and they used her as bait to get to me.  I lost interest in her.

So all of you, please keep yourselves safe and put your trust in Allah.  This is a spiritual path.  You may get scared and bale out, but no one can run away from God.  We can only run towards God.

Here's a nice song to help cheer you up.  Justin seems stiff in this video, no?  Justin, you need you dance everyday or you'll lose your chops!
