In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Julia. How are you today, my love? Let me remind you again that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, stay put, and enjoy our life and love together. To raise a family, and enjoy our house. Your house. Casa de Julia. I'm trying to build a tourist attraction here, so I can't travel. I won't allow you to travel without me, so any trip you want to take will have to planned way ahead. Together always, OK? InsyaAllah. No spontaneous journeys.
No, I'm not going to force you to watch my TV station. InsyaAllah, we're going to get satellite TV for you, so you can have your sports and current events. You're just going to have to start getting used to being Boss Model, and to get your business to come to you.
And please be certain that Allah will test your faith. So if you are having troubles and suffering, please know that I suffer without you. Together we are one, and your hardship is mine. Please be patient, maintain your prayers, and persevere, and say, "To Allah we belong, and to God is our return."

Letter to Julia 20130612
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello Julia, my beautiful young bride. You are my girl, my heart, my future. You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me. You are all that I can ever dream of in a girl, and I love you.
There are a lot of things I don't talk about in these letters. Mostly because since I have no privacy, you and everyone else should see things for yourselves. Also because I don't have much power. I'm just a servant of Allah, so I ride the waves of the Power of Allah. Ya Allah, please grant me a happy and secure marriage with my Julia, and all the toys/tools and means I need to create music that pleases You.
So you must know that I'm locking on to the perfect fond for fried noodles, using entirely local ingredients. My experience in Italian food takes over here, so my fried noodles is more like a Malay spaghetti, except that I don't use any pasta, tomatoes, or cheese. Mighty tasty, though. Praise Allah. I could easily polish off a wok at a time. But nobody loves a fat astronaut, so I don't.

142. The fools among the people will say, What has turned them from their Direction to which they used to face in prayer? Say, "To Allah belongs both east and west. God guides whom God wills to the Straight Way."

Hello, my beloved Julia. Are you feeling all right? I pray you doing well, and feeling healthy and confident, for I love you so much. I hope you haven't been trying to find me in SL lately. I have to organize my inventory, and it is a very time-consuming process. Especially when clothes rez slowly. So it looks like my avatar will be isolating herself for a few months.
I've been setting up mouse traps in my mother's kitchen lately, and yesterday I caught 2 fat mice, they were almost rats in size. So I had to kill 2 rats, because I has to use the trap again. Is there such a thing as a compassionate way to kill a rat?

Hi again, my princess Julia. I do love you so, my beauty. I had steak again today. Well, I have a bunch of steaks in the freezer- a kilo of beef can go a long way, and steak and rice pleases me easily, and is uncomplicated to cook, especially when you're lazy like me. Of course I didn't get the cut I really want, but I'm going to have to buy a whole side of ribs the get the beef of my dreams. That also means I'm going to have to slaughter my own steer. No, I don't have a steer. I have a couple of cats, and I love them too much to eat them. Lately, Chee Cheah and Bat Cat have been getting into jealous squabbles with each other over cat food and indoor rights. Hey guys, it's only cat food.

135. They say, "Become Jews or Christians if you would be guided." Say you, "No! The Religion of Abraham, the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."
136. Say you, "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abaham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendents, and that given to Moses, and Jesus, and that given to Prophets from their Lord. We make no difference between one and another of them, and we bow to Allah."
137. So if they believe as you believe, they are indeed on the right path: but if they turn back, it is they who are in a schism. But Allah will suffice you as against them, and God is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
138. The Color of Allah: and who can color better than Allah? And it is God whom we worship.
139. Say, "Will you dispute with us about Allah, seeing that God is our Lord and your Lord: that we are responsible for our doings and you for yours, and that we are sincere to God?"
140. Or so you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendents were Jews and Christians? Say, "Do you know better than Allah?" Ah! Who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah? But Allah is not unmindful of what you do!

Hi Julia, my love. How are you feeling today? I'm trying to slow down. There's a lot going on, and I'm just trying to be patient, and grateful for what Allah has given me. Remember, the goal of our marriage is to slow down, and enjoy our life and love together with each other.
So I'm just lazing around on the floor, watching the best and most-watched TV station in the world mashaAllah, Shadowplay TV.... Hey, it's the Jeff Beck Group. I learned my right hand technique from watching him, but I stay away from effects and the bridge. My bass influence, I suppose. I had steak and rice for dinner. What a huge chunk of fat that was, about half meat and half fat. It's going to be a hot night. Good thing I have the AC on. One of my favorite simple pleasures is steaming hot white rice with light soy sauce. A piece of nostalgia from when that's all I had to eat, was rice and soy sauce. Sometimes I didn't even have soy sauce.
