In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Julia, my beloved. How are you feeling today? I am longing for you as usual, my love. You are my love, my future. I'm sorry I've been talking all business lately. You are Mrs. Global, after all. It's been raining lightly. I guess Allah gives us precisely what we need, and some of us need to have our faith tested. Ya Allah, please strengthen my faith.

Aaaaa! I broke a guitar string! **sob** I never break guitar strings. Well, hardly ever. The last time I broke a guitar string was a bass string, somewhere around 1994, I think. I love old strings. The strings on my SG are nearly 5 years old, and are getting nice and rusty. But I broke my high E string last night. I must have used too much muscle. It must have been the full moon. I had to replace it with the E string that came with the guitar when I first got it in 2008.
Anyway, only Allah can bring down the rain. Ya Allah, please bring down the rain, because the rice fields are really dry. The 2 massive floods we had here recently must have made the local authorities over-compensate by digging more drainage. Massive flooding of the like are actually quite rare, so the local government can't be blamed for not being God. A possible answer is to build miniature dams in the minor waterways. The world is changing. Global warming. The Qur'an speaks of "seas boiling over". Perhaps the Earth's core is going to heat up along with the atmosphere. Hey, instead of stockpiling arms in preparation for invasion, perhaps they should use their brains and technology to clear up greenhouse gases? That should help clean up the environment, plus manage their natural resources better, so they don't have to commandeer other people's resources, and enslave the impoverished. No? Too greedy and corrupt? Well, Allah has prepared for Judgement Day in a most mysterious way. We are righteous people insyaAllah, and it is our duty to try to slow down Armageddon. Only the unbelievers try to speed it up.

YOOOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Hi Julia, my darling. How are you feeling today? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. I'm sure you know that Perlis is susceptible to flooding. It hasn't flooded for the past 2 years, but you know how the weather can change in a blink of an eye. This means that Casa de Julia cannot have a basement. In fact, the foundation floor has to be about a meter from the ground for the house to have the best possibility of staying completely dry. A massive deluge can flood the cesspool, and you can't flush the toilet (unless your toilet is on the 2nd floor, even though it would affect the toilets on the ground floor) until the water recedes. Well, you CAN flush, but I'm not going to clean it. I want to prepare the house for floods, but flooding is nothing to really worry about unless the rice fields turn into a miniature sea.
Please don't be so trustful of the people you encounter, and their example of how you should conduct your religion. It is best that you establish your own relationship with the Qur'an, and God. If you are sincere, then Allah will guide and befriend you. If you need an example, then study prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). Please maintain your prayers, as you are my girl, and we are Muslim.

Dearest Julia, I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. Of course I still love you. How could I not? You are so beautiful, you are MY girl, and I want to marry you. I did tell you that I've been talking too much lately, so I am feeling reclusive and lazy right now, more than I usually am. So I stayed home and watched TV all the time, other than taking Chee Cheah to the vet, and going out to buy snacks. But I had to reorganize my hard drive, so my computer had to work 24/7, and so did I, to keep an eye on it. So much for being lazy. You must be working hard. Please believe, and be righteous. Allah will grant us beautiful gardens together. InsyaAllah.
Meanwhile, how about you watch a movie? This features and is directed by P. Ramlee, one of the greatest Malay stars, who died young at the age of 44. It also somehow reminds me of politics in Malaysia (both sides).

Hi there, my dearest Julia. I've been talking too much lately, so now I feel extra reclusive and lazy. Oh, I'm soooo lazy. I just want to watch TV and snuggle with my Julia. But she's not here, so I just watch TV. I love you, Julia. I need snacks.

Now you're probably asking yourself, "Why didn't God protect the younger sibling from the jealous wrath of his brother if God had preferred him over the other?" Anyone who studies the Qur'an would know that the younger brother offered himself up for sacrifice with the intention of letting the older brother carry the burden of both their sins. But it didn't stop there: from this incident God decreed that if anyone committed a murder, it would be as if he slew an entire race of people. Now this happened a long time ago: the two brothers were sons of Adam, which could mean mankind before the Qur'an, or more likely the first generation offspring of Adam, the first human. That would probably spiritually account for all the wars since the beginning of the human race.
But the human mind is too feeble to calculate its own past. Probably in another 50 years time, people will say that President Kennedy never got shot, along with those who say, "Who's Kennedy?" We Muslims are instructed to take account of the unseen as a fundamental aspect of human existence. Even the stupidest people cannot deny that there might be something unseen around the corner as they drive.

1. Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of mankind,
2. The Ruler of mankind,
3. The God of mankind,
4. From the mischief of the Whisperer, who withdraws,
5. Who whispers into the hearts of mankind,
6. Among Jinns, and among men."
Mankind 114:1-6

This chapter wraps up the Qur'an as we know it today, with a summary of existence: humans (and Jinns) are in conflict with Satan (a Jinn), until Judgment Day.
