Qur'an 20181010

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

219.  They ask you concerning booze and gambling.  Say, "In them is great sin, and some benefit, for mankind, but the sin is greater than the benefit."  They ask you how much they are to spend.  Say, "What is beyond your needs."  Thus does Allah make clear to you God's Signs, in order that you may consider.

220.  About this life and the Hereafter.  They ask you concerning orphans.  Say, "The best thing to do is what is for their good."  If you mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren.  But Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good.  And if Allah had willed, God could have put you into difficulties.  God is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise.

The Heifer 2:219-220

Just another average day

Hi Natty honey!  How are you feeling today?  I suppose things are oh so exciting over there for you.  Say, that's a very clever photo.  I'm guessing that you are actually at the foot of the cliff, when it seems that you are high up.  It's nice to be high, huh?  A natural high.  I'm writing a little early today, I want to be at the mosque by sunset inshaAllah.  Otherwise, it's just another average day for me.  I am much more rested today, I got a lot of sleep last night.  Hey, I got my legs back!   Alhamdulillah.  I didn't do any yard work, it was raining.  I didn't do much cooking either.  I had ramen for lunch- I hadn't had ramen in months for some reason, I used to eat it everyday.  And I ate out for dinner.  Oh well, I hope you are keeping safe while enjoying yourself.  You are precious to me.

Qur'an 20181009

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

215.  They ask you what they should spend.  Say, "Whatever you spend that is good, is for parents, and kindred, and orphans, and those in want, and for wayfarers, and whatever you do that is good: Allah knows it well."

216.  Fighting is prescribed upon you, and you dislike it.  But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you.  But Allah knows, and you know not.

217.  They ask you concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month.  Say, "Fighting therein is grievous, but graver it is in the Sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny God, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members.  Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter, nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can.  And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter:  they will be companions of the fire, and will abide therein."

218.  Those who believed, and those who suffered exile and fought in the Path of Allah: they have the Mercy of Allah.  And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Someone has to do it

Hi Natty honey!  How are you feeling, my beautiful Princess?  Wow, it sure looks like you are having fun, exploring and checking out live music.  If I were there, I would be doing that myself, going to concerts, searching for great new bands.  It's important for me/us to do so, to find great new music instead of having to consume the same old crap forced down our throats by the arrogant who think they are the power.  I have never asked to you to do this, because it is a dangerous task, so please take care.  It looks like you are very global, what with an Asian and a Black girlfriends accompanying you.  In fact, it almost seems like a show in itself...  Don't be so close to the speaker!  You will lose your hearing!  Especially with those bass frequencies.  It should plenty loud enough anywhere else in the room.  Keep the volume down on headphones, too.  I find that a single 6" speaker like in a guitar practice amp is most comfortable for loud listening.  You can put it right at your face and turn it up, and it won't hurt your ears.  Anyway, I hope you have tons of fun exploring, try to dress well all of you, and guard your chastity.  It's worth billions, and worth much more that besides big business.  I'm going to prepare my dinner now.  I'm going to make some curry pups.  Want some?

Is this pink?

Hi Natty honey!  How's it going today, gorgeous girl?  Are you all excited?  I saw that pink photo of you, I had to keep it.  It's so pretty.  That's an old photo, right?  I am exhausted today.  It was a nice, cool morning again, but my usual chores wore me out today.  Thank God for my nap, I think it saved my set today.  I'm sure I sounded tired, when I start dropping notes and wheezing and coughing, and my pitch starts to drift.  But I have the odd feeling people enjoyed that.  It was a struggle for me I tell you, I didn't enjoy it.  I think I'll just relax tonight and watch TV.

Sunday is PINK!  Is this pink?  I'm color blind.  It looks pink and blue to me.

Ava Gardner

Hi Natty honey!  Wow, that's a marvelous outfit you're wearing.  You look absolutely regal.  How's life going for you today?  It was quite a nice day for me.  The morning was nice and cool, and I grilled up some BBQ beef ribs for lunch.  Oh, the taste of heaven!  Alhamdulillah.  Such bliss did have its penalty though: during voice training, I had a really hard time channeling Karen Carpenter.  Today the computer told me to wear green, so I wore green.  Tomorrow is Sunday, and I usually wear black, but I guess I'll start wearing pink on Sundays.  For now.

My dress didn't quite fit right today.  Well, I guess I'm just not a designer.

I wanna be a beautiful model too!

Hi Natty honey!  Wow, you are looking awesome.  Congratulations on your success, you worked hard for it, you are beautiful, and I love you.  I want to be a beautiful model too!  God won't allow me to ask money for this music.  I can accept offers, but I can't ask.  But with my finances in its current state, I'm going to be married in hell.  So in an attempt to cut the umbilical cord without compromising the music, I'm going to try modeling too.  No, not in real life.  In Second Life.  My avatar only exists in Second Life, but I'm pretty and I don't age.  Plus, the biggest source of revenue in Second Life is apparel sales.  So I'm going to send out notecards to designers like this:

I am a singer who performs for 2 hours daily, with a large audience.
I am offering to model your designs when I sing for L$ 200 per 2 hour session, assuming they fit my avatar and style.  You may use the group tag to caption, "This dress designed by ..."
Thank you for your consideration.

Yeah, L$ 200 is less than a buck.  But perhaps Allah Will turn this into something ridiculously huge.  Ya Allah, You are the Power, I have no power except for Your Power.

Yesterday the computer assigned a movie for you to watch, but I forgot to post it.  Please watch "Working Girl" (1988).  Sorry, my short term memory is poor.  I'm old.  My brain is full.  Wow, check out that hair!  Would you wear your hair like that?
