Qur'an 20220113

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

48.  They say, "When will this promise come to pass, if you speak the truth?"

49.  Say, "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah Wills.  To every people is a term appointed.  When that term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor can they advance."

50.  Say, "Do you see, if God's punishment should come to you by night or by day, what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten?"

Jonah 10:48-50

We miss you, Karl-baby

 

Hi Natty! How are you, Honey?  Are you hungry?  You can share my dinner with me.  It's leftover noodles from yesterday, but still good.  Before that, I made a batch of dough.  I accidentally put in too much grease, but it tasted so good, I was eating the dough raw.  I went downtown for lunch today.  I often have Omar's rice vermicelli soup, he's located in the old part of town in front of the courthouse complex.  His stall was always bustling, but now they built a new courthouse complex a couple of miles away.  It's a modern and fancy place sitting right smack dab in the middle of rice fields, so it really stands out.  So now the street where poor Omar's stall is located has many empty parking spots.  I feel bad for the guy, I like him and his rice vermicelli soup, but I can't eat it everyday.

Mary's outfit today is a bit risqué, so I had to censor the snapshots.  It's French, I guess.  Mary doesn't dress like her avatar.  In real life, she dresses like a nun.

I have a soft spot for Chanel because of Karl-baby.  I went there last night.  The site was easy to navigate, and right at the top was its latest collection.  This is what I like from Chanel Spring-Summer 2022:

Qur'an 20220112

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

36.  But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against Truth.  Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.

37.  This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah.  On the contrary, it is a confirmation of what went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book, wherein there is no doubt, from the Lord of the Worlds.

38.  Or do they say, "He forged it"?  Say, "Bring then a Surah like unto it, and call anyone you can, besides Allah, if it be you speak the truth!"

39.  No, they charge with falsehood that whose knowledge they cannot compass, even before the elucidation thereof reached them.  Thus did those before them make charges of falsehood.  But see what was the end of those who did wrong!

40.  Of them, there are some who believe therein, and some who do not.  And your Lord knows best those who are out for mischief.

41.  If they charge you with falsehood say, "My work to me, and yours to you!  You are free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what you do!"

Jonah 10:36-41

High on fashion

 Hi Natty!  How's it going, Sweetheart?  Are you having a fabulous time over there?  I sure hope so!  I just got back from the mosque, then prayed the sunset prayer.  Yeah I forgot the damned mask, so I went back to get it but I ran out of time and had to pray by myself.  I had fried noodles for dinner, want some?  The drippings from making roast beef make a great noodle fond, but I didn't use the roast beef for it.  Instead, I used some Australian beef liver which was going for cheap at the big supermarket downtown.  It worked.  It tasted like fried noodles but with liver, and not in an offensive way.

Mary's outfit is Western flavored today.  I love these old Native American photos!  I have a whole lot of them.

So I'm through with trawling the fashion magazines.  Instead, I'm going to just see if the fashion designers have anything pretty to wear.  I learned a valuable lesson from shopping for clothes for Mary's avatar, and the lesson is:  you can buy garbage at any price.  Why pay ridiculous prices to look ridiculous?  Of course, one person's trash is another person's treasure.  However, I am the one who dresses Mary up.

Google gave me a list of the top 10 most powerful fashion houses, so I'm going to rotate through this list and hope I see something nice:

Here are the world's 10 most powerful fashion houses
Gucci : $621 795 620.
Chanel : $581 399 852.
Dior : $519 409 932.
Louis Vuitton : $492 926 898.
Prada : $297 921 644.
Versace : $273 472 695.
Saint Laurent : $236 916 657.
Fendi : $231 600 698.

I don't really know what the numbers mean, but it was dated 2019.  Way to go, Google.  Thus, I went to Gucci first.  The site was made for cell phone, so it was chaotic for my pc.  But after a few tries, I was allowed to look at the Gucci women's fall/winter 2020 looks.  There were some guys in there, but no fat models.  Yay!

This next one would look better without any hat:

Qur'an 20220111

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

31.  Say, "Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth?  Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight?  And who is it that brings out the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?  And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?"  They will soon say, "Allah."  Say, "Will you not then show piety?"

32.  Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer.  Apart from Truth, what but error?  How then are you turned away?

33.  Thus is the Word of your Lord proved true against those who rebel.  Verily they will not believe.

34.  Say, "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?"  Say, "It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it.  Then how are you deluded away?"

35.  Say, "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give guidance towards Truth?"  Say, "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards Truth."  Is then God Who gives guidance to Truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance unless he is guided?  What then is the matter with you?  How judge you?

Jonah 10:31-35

Thank You

 Hi there, Natty!  What are you looking at, Honey?  I hope that all is well with you over there.  I'm doing well here, so alhamdulillah.  I'm in the middle of cooking up more roast beef.  For dinner, I had a block of tofu swimming in curry.  Nice and healthy, huh?  After I'm done with the computer tonight, I have more kitchen work to do.  I bought some groceries, so I have to make it all fit in my small cooler.

Honey, it looks like our house has gotten bigger.  Not upwards and outwards, but downwards.  It's as if I walked into a room, and there's a hole in the floor revealing a huge room hidden below.  Or I walked into the bathroom and there are tiles missing, exposing a deep cesspool.  It's no concern of yours Natty, I'm the one who has to walk on those floors.  Anyway, I've decided that most of the fashion magazines are only good for generating landfill.  Good thing they have digital versions, huh?  It seems to me that only Vogue, Marie Claire and W seem to have much fashion in them.  I guess I'm going to have to start Googling for "fashion designers" and "fashion houses", because the fashion magazines are just trash.

I dressed up Mary's avatar in a pink dress with fuchsia heels!  Is there a law on that?  Yes I am color blind, but I knew that I was putting together pink and fuchsia.  It's because I was a rebel, or I didn't really care.

Courage

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are feeling great and having an awesome time.  I just got back from sunset prayer, it's been a busy day.  Sundays usually are.  I cut the grass in the evening, thank God I had leftover fried rice in the cooler.  Evenings have become so short, there's only room for one task, and if I had to cook then that's the only thing I would be able to do.

I was over at InStyle last night.  That place is more celebrity gossip than fashion.  I did find a couple of picks, though.  Not exactly haute couture, but wearable.

Last night I did Mary's wardrobe on the Second Life viewer!  It really sucked the first time I tried it after they updated it, but I found out the reason why and corrected the problem.  Why?  Hackers!  Anyway, it totally outperforms Firestorm and I'm quite pleased with it.  Also, there is no loss of inventory.  Mary's outfit today happens to be one of those older mesh dresses that don't quite fit, so I had to do some photo editing.  The credits are:
