Hi there, my young lady Julia.  How are you feeling today?  I pray you are feeling secure and confident.  Please know that you are my girl, and that I love you.  I am having the darndest time getting this home design software started.  The computer is making me use only advanced or irrelevant programs so far, and it's bad enough that I can't draw.  I pray you a working on a design, because I'm getting a sinking feeling that I won't be able to come up with a plan that you like.  But hey, only you would really know what your dream house is like, right?  Because to me, that is what matters: I would probably fall asleep on the floor in front of the computer most of the time, whatever room that may be.

Qur'an 20120611

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

39.  God it is that has made you inheritors in the earth.  If then, any do reject, their rejection is against themselves.  Their rejection but adds to the odium for the unbelievers in the sight of their Lord.  Their rejection but adds to undoing.

40.  Say, "Have you seen 'partners' of yours whom you call besides Allah?  Show me what it is they have created in the earth.  Or have they a share in the heavens?  Or has God given them a Book from which they refer?  No!  The wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions."

The Originator of Creation  35:39-40
----------------------------------------------------------

Have you seen 'partners' of yours whom you call besides Allah?  Show me what it is they have created in the earth.  Or have they a share in the heavens?  Or has God given them a Book from which they refer?  No!  The wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions.

Hello again, my beautiful young princess Julia.  How are you feeling?  It certainly is hard on the nerves, being the center of attention.  Yet so many people crave fame.  You are not like other women, because of your great beauty, your connection with me, and your Islam.  InsyaAllah, once we are together, you can hide behind me, and I will absorb all those flashing lights and all those bug-eyed stares for you.  You are my girl, and I am very protective of you.  You must be patient, and pray.  Pray that Allah brings us together soon, in security and happiness.  You must be patient, because patience overcomes despair.  It is the purpose of your enemies to put you in despair: they will try to intoxicate you, scrutinize you in order to amplify your despair.  Don't let them.  Be patient, and pray.  Your patience is from Allah.  We need Allah.  Allah can save us, and make the actions of evil into their despair.  And when we are together insyaAllah, I will distract them from you.  Meanwhile, if you are not working, don't seek them out.  Just hide in your home.  When you are alone and lonely, read a little bit of the Qur'an out loud.  Just a little bit: whether it be a random page or in sequence doesn't matter.  Then compare it with what happens to you that day.

Ah, your home.  I pray that Allah gives me the means to build a house for you soon.  In the meantime, I'm working on a plan, and I hope you are thinking about your house too.  I forgot to mention that the north and south sides of the house are longer than the east and west sides.  The front door should be on the north.

Please be patient Julia, and take good, loving care of yourself, because I love you.

Argh!  It figures... this software I bought doesn't work.  To tell you the truth, I'm not good at drawing.  I can do a lot of things, praise Allah, but I can't draw.  If I could draw, I would have never left my room when I was young.  I probably would never have picked up a guitar.  I pray you will work with me on this, because this house is all about you, and I want you to be proud of it, and happy with it.  Of course I'll try, and I'll come up with something insyaAllah, but in my heart I'm counting on you to draw up your cozy little house.  I can work on the yard: my Mom says I'm good at gardening.  But I can't draw.

I pray that Allah will guide me closer than this to the right path.  Nothing happens without the Will of Allah.  Please pray that Allah will grant us success, love and happiness with each other, in this life as well as the hereafter.

That being understood, I need you to help me design a house.  Perhaps you could get a home design program for your computer, and design a 2 level house that you would love, and fit it in the space of 15 x 20 meters, not including the garage.  Please also draw up a picture to the best of your ability of what the house would look like from the outside.  I will draw up a plan as well, and we will combine our plans for the best design, insyaAllah.  It doesn't have to be a box-like house, but please try to be moderate and practical, and not give me the plans of a miniature Kremlin.  The doorways will have to be tall enough to at least fit you with high heels on, that means the ceilings have to be tall as well.  The kitchen has to be on the ground level of course, and try to fit in a small gym.  Try to keep all the bathrooms and the plumbing concentrated on the west side.

And pray.

Hello, my beloved young lady Julia.  Let's go over the logistics of my attending or performing at the fashion show, assuming that I'm wanted there.  First off, we have to be married.  I'm not going there without you as my spouse, I don't care how much I'm paid.  I'm not going to abandon my station here even for a short while, until what is being built here produces its rewards, and I can afford to marry you.  That means having a house and good living prepared for you before I pick you up in Germany.  Then we can go to New York together after you've settled down, if you absolutely have to.  I have absolutely no desire to go to New York, not for any amount of money.  I'm thoroughly unimpressed with glitz and glamour, and with arrogant billionaires who are useless to others without their money.  Yet there's still a lot of poverty in America....

Yes, it's still the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marathon on Shadowplay TV.  I don't think I want to sing live on the fashion show.  Not that they'll ever ask me to: they'll probably just get Lady Gaga or something.  Be my guest.  I'm too lazy to travel to the stinking city just for one appearance... urgh, I HATE the city.  Yeah, I know I'm not going to let you travel alone, but I don't even want to see the show live as a spectator.  What?  You want me to see the show live?  Are you mad?  I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I'm not dumb enough to be caught on camera ogling half-naked girls in the same room as my wife!  No, thank you.  I'll just wait for you in the lobby.  Maybe there'll be a place to plug in my laptop so I can play Krush, Kill and Destroy.  The only reason I would ever sing at that show is because of you, and we're not even married yet.  And if I do, then I'll be blindfolded: you're going to have to hold my hand all the time.  Forget it!  I'll be in the lobby nursing the baby.
