YOOOOOLIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!
Hello my beloved sweetie Julia! Please forgive me for not blogging for 4 days. It was the Chinese New Year, and the internet cafe was closed, but I posted last Saturday's letter for you to read. I pray you are taking good care of your precious self, and not overworking.
I'm doing my laundry right now. Ach! I hate laundry! But I'm still able to do it. My parents gave me nearly a whole box full of Flake bars. I love Flake! Made in Egypt. Hmm. I want to save a couple of bars for you, but I don't think I can, because I love Flake bars sooooo much. Hey Julia! I love you. I want to marry you.

Letter to Julia 20130209
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hai Julia, my beloved! How are you feeling today? I love you, with all my heart. Everyday. I've loved you for a very long time now, and I want to marry you. InsyaAllah.
It's been really dry the past month. My front lawn and the wildflowers have dried up, but they'll be back with the next rain, insyaAllah. The quinine tree behind my house is dripping water for some reason. It's been hot and dry, the tree is covered with blossoms, and it's dripping water, tiny droplets of water, like falling mist. But it stains the ground like amber, and it doesn't wash off, so it might not be water. My back yard looks like it's drenched, but it's hot and dry.
Hey, it's raining right now!
Subhanallah! Alhamdulillah! Allahuakbar!
(I'll tell you the significance of this odd occurence someday, but not here. Trace back my letters to when I discuss a similar subject, and you will understand.)

Letter to Julia 20130207
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
As I told you once before, the human race is not the only dominant species on this planet. There are 2 dominant species: the human race made out earth and water, and the jinn race made out of fire. Islam is both real and surreal, and we Muslims learn from the Qur'an to be scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. After all, since humans are finite then so is our knowledge and awareness, thus it is easy to take us by surprise from directions we do not perceive. Whether you are aware of it or not, the jinns share our everyday life with us, and it cannot be denied. It's like denying atheists exist doesn't make them go away.
Anyway, just like the humans, there are jinns who worship Allah, and jinns who do not. There are jinns who speak lies about God, just as there are humans who seek shelter with and worship the jinns. There are humans and jinns who think that Allah will never raise the dead, and there are humans and jinns who seek the secrets of heaven. And their knowledge and awareness is also finite, so much that they have no idea what God intends to do with those on Earth.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
20. Say, "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with God any."
21. Say, "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."
22. Say, "No one can deliver me from Allah, nor should I find refuge except in God."
23. Mine is only to convey what I receive from Allah and God's messages. For any that disobey Allah and God's messenger, for them is hell, they shall dwell therein forever.
24. At length, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weakest in helper, and least important in point of numbers.
25. Say, "I know not whether that you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term."
The Jinns 72:20-25

Hi there, my beautiful Julia. And how are you feeling today? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. I made some spaghetti yesterday. Wow, it's been years since I had spaghetti! It still tastes like spaghetti. Apparently spaghetti is en vogue with the locals now, so I made a batch and gave a sample to a family friend so she could figure out a recipe for her restaurant. I also taught her how to handle pasta. Isn't it amazing how we take some things for granted, which are craved by others? A spaghetti dinner is so blah in the USA, but highly coveted here. No, I'm not going into food business again, insyaAllah. Would you like some spaghetti, my darling? Tomato sauce? Alfredo sauce? Stuffed pasta?
My dearest heart, you are my wife, and thus you are me. Please be sure to maintain your prayers.

2. It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join any with our Lord.

OK OK you have very pretty teeth, much prettier than mine. I am grateful to Allah that you have never tasted poverty. Ya Allah, please protect my Julia, and please shield her from the hardships that were imposed upon me. I do hope to finally get some proper dental work done in the near future, insyaAllah. Whatever the case, I will never be able to catch up with you, and having fake teeth screwed into my skull is absolutely out of the question, because I have to protect my singing. Ya Allah, please protects Julia and I, and the music You gave to me.
