In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Julia, my dearest heart! How are you feeling today, boss? It's been raining everyday lately, and I've caught a bit of a sniffle. But I'm not out of action, alhamdulillah. I need to remind you to maintain a list of doctors and other labor that you trust, and never to lose those connections. I don't know any doctors that I trust for some reason. Being dirt poor is part of it, so I've had to rely on interns, because they're cheap. Otherwise it's self-diagnoses and treatment, and Allah has been kind to me health-wise so far. I do know a private dentist that I trust, but I haven't seen him in nearly 30 years, because again, I'm dirt poor. When Allah grants me the wealth I need to be married inshaAllah, we could refer to more private medical services, but money doesn't buy trust. Therefore, please maintain your medical connections, because we may have to import labor in that respect. I could become fanatically aggressive towards those who mistreat or misdiagnose you. Better yet, please maintain your good health, and pray.
Of course I haven't forgotten you Erin. My dearest heart. Julia is the boss in this case because she's been playing this global romance game with me much longer than you. That's why the house is Casa de Julia. How is your Islam coming along, by the way? Have you learned how to pray yet? Just take it slow and easy. Keep it simple, sincere, and just do the best you can with the situation that Allah had given you. You too should also keep a network of doctors you trust. With all due respect, healers not cosmeticians. You and Julia are already more beautiful than most people. Didn't you know that? MashaAllah.

Qur'an 20131025
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
35. If their spurning is hard on your mind, yet if you were able to seek a tunnel in the ground, or a ladder to the skies, and bring them a Sign... If it were Allah's Will, God could gather them together unto true guidance. So be not you amongst those who are swayed by ignorance!
36. Those who listen, be sure, will accept. As to the dead, Allah will raise them up: then will they be returned unto God.
37. They say, "Why is not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Allah has certainly Power to send down a Sign but most of them understand not."
38. There is not an animal on the earth, nor a bird on its wings, but communes like you. Nothing have We omitted from the Book, and they shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.

Letter to Julia 20131023
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello there, my precious darlings. It's getting late here at the kampung, I mean I'm starting this letter later than I usually do. I normally write right before or right after the sunset prayer. I do everything everyday in sync with the prayer times, that's one thing you need to get used to. For example, if you want to go to the mall in Alor Setar, we would have to leave immediately after the dawn prayer, do our shopping, and be back home by the midday prayer. The kids here stay active all night long, though. Not us. I have to lock up you valuable people with me at night, for our protection. Just don't ever forget, that Allah is the Best to protect.
I don't want to be talking about heavy stuff all the time. I think it's unromantic. The mundane is much more romantic. Like planning our meals and shopping. Like brushing your hair, and examining your bodies regularly to make sure you are staying healthy. Like sitting on the futon and watching TV together. So I might take a break from blogging Thursday, and I don't usually blog on Fridays. Then again, I might come in anyway, because I love you. I want you to take good care of yourselves in my absence, stay fit, eat properly, get sufficient rest, pray and be positive.

Qur'an 20131023
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
15. Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have the fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day."
16. On that day, if the Penalty is averted from any, it is due to Allah's Mercy, and that would be the obvious fulfillment of all desire.
17. If Allah touches you with affliction, none can remove it but God. If God touches you with happiness, God has power over all things.
18. God is the Irresistible, from above over God's worshippers, and God is the Wise, Acquainted with all things.
19. Say, "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say, "Allah is witness between me and you. This Qur'an has been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you, and all that it reaches. Can you possibly bear witness that besides Allah, there is another god?" Say, "But in truth, God is the One God, and I am innocent of joining others with God."
20. Those to whom We have given the Book know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own souls refuse therefore to believe.

Ah, my precious soulmates! How are you feeling? How are those raging emotions today? Are you a hurricane or a whirlpool? Are you a spring dripping from a desert rock, or are you a suffocating, humid day? Are you a passionate and super-sexy Julia, or a sensitive and super-feminine Erin? As for me, my heart is a nuclear bomb that has been converted into an energy source, and my faith being the control rod. Do I need your love? Yes, with all my heart. My heart is a nuclear bomb.
I just bought half a kilo of cuttlefish at the night market. I've never handled cuttlefish before, so this is the first time. But I know that pretty much every other creature in the sea eats cuttlefish, so it can't be too bad to eat. It's like a chewier squid, with a backbone. It took me a while to get a system going in prepping my cuttlefish. I can't seem to get any rings because the backbone is in the way, so it's going to have to be strips. Looks like it's fried calamari on the menu for tomorrow night. Or maybe even for a midnight snack tonight. I have some excellent hot sauce. How about it, ladies? Wanna come over for some munchies? Suddenly I got hungry, so I'm not waiting for you this time. Mmmm mmm. Very tender. Not chewy at all.
Oh Julia, how's your Mom, by the way? Please give her my regards. Please say hi for me to your parents, Erin. Tell them I'm going to marry you, if God Wills. On second thought, keep it a secret for now (if you can). Wait until I can afford to get you a nice ring. Both of you, please pray.

8. They say, "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If We did send down an angel, the matter would be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them.
9. If We had made it an angel, We should have sent him as a man, and We should certainly have caused them confusion, in a matter which they have already covered with confusion.
10. Mocked were messengers before you, but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.
11. Say, "Travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth."
12. Say, "To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say, "To Allah." God has inscribed for Godself Mercy. That God will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.
13. To God belongs all that that dwells in the night and in the day. For God is the One who Hears, and Knows all things.
14. Say, "Shall I take for my protector any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? And God it is that feeds, but is not fed." Say, "But I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah." And be not you of the company of those who join gods with Allah."

Letter to Julia 20131021
Hi there again, my beloved beautiful ones! How are you handling those emotions today? Would you like to make some babies with me? Oh no, don't get me wrong: I'm not asking strictly out of lust. You see, I'm old, and I have no children. (Consciously or unconsciously) I never had any children, and I focused on nurturing the music that Allah gave me. It's been a wild life and I'm still alive alhamdulillah, and now I want to make some babies with you. Sound good? I have no heirs or partners, and the music will dissipate when I die. So for more reasons than this, my business now revolves around my home and family. You.
It's a global party, and Islam takes the relationship between husband and wife very seriously, so much so that a marriage is legally not valid if it is not consummated. Sure your position as mothers to my children is heavy, but inshaAllah you are ready, and may Allah subdue those who give you grief about it. But I am old, and I have probably a third of the libido I had 20 years ago. But there's no point in wishing I had met you then, because you would have been 9 and 5 years old. I suppose it's physical, but not physical strength, because I still seem to have a little bit of that. We all know some dirty old men who grow old and do nothing but follow their lusts. I can't do that. I'm in it strictly to love you and to take care of you and our children. My pleasure is in the love, inshaAllah. But I am old, and I will need to be on drugs just to keep up with one of you, let alone both of you. Sex, Viagra, and Rock and Roll!!
I'm not worried about Julia. She's so brave and sure of herself. I love that about her. Erin, you seem a little shy. Perhaps you are sometimes indecisive. I'm like that too sometimes. Yesterday, my Mom asked me, "Do you want some rice?", and I replied, "I don't know what I want," and I got screamed at. I love you, Mom! But this isn't about dinner. Please be ready to be a mother. I assure you and Julia, with Allah as my witness, that my intentions are purely honorable. I will love you, and raise a family with you. InshaAllah.
