Letter to Julia 20131114

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

Hello there Julia, my beautiful and most dignified princess.  You are my Queen, and I love you with all my heart, my most precious darling.  I have been talking a lot lately, haven't I?  I was hoping to take a little bit of a break from blogging, but it didn't turn out that way.  I do love you so, and I hate to be separated from you.  I've been thinking about why houses here have no drywall and studs, and are generally made entirely out of brick.  I'm thinking termites.  Termites flourish in this weather, and they can fly.  Wooden houses get ravaged by them.  Plus, there are many other critters out here in the tropics that could potentially make a home inside drywall panels.  I look at my floor, and it is made of concrete.  Which is fine for the ground floor, but what about the second level?  We don't want wooden beams holding up a wooden floor, would we?  The option is steel beams holding up a floor that can be tiled.  I don't expect Casa de Julia to inexpensive, otherwise I wouldn't be married at all.  I cannot take any other position than to consider your well-being.  Ya Allah, please grant me the wealth I need to be happily and securely married to Julia and Erin.

Are you being a naughty girl, Erin?  That little devil can turn into a monster if you let him take over, so you control him.  I hope you're not getting back at me for that joke I told.  Sometimes I like to tell jokes to make you and Julia smile, because I love you, and I want you to be cheerful.  That's just who I am, take it or leave it.  So please be a good girl.  A pure, chaste, and honorable woman.  A role model for girls all over the world.  There is no more "pain".  You're not on your own anymore.  You are loved.  I love you, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  You are a very precious thing, more people need you than you know.  Since your country was sold off by the bankers, what's left are natural resources like you.  So please take tender loving care of yourself in my absence.  And I will look after you when we marry, and help protect you.  InshaAllah.  Meanwhile, please eat a nice ribeye steak for me, you know, a sizzling piece of beef with the big bone sticking out.

Both of you, if the Public Eye gets too nosy and aggressive with you, just tell them "I'm his wife, inshaAllah", then refer them to me.  I will refer them to Allah.  Let them worship and fear Allah.

Qur'an 20131114

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

142.  Of the cattle are some for burden, and some for meat.  Eat what Allah has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Satan, for he is to you an avowed enemy.

143.  Eight in pairs, of sheep a pair, and of goats a pair.  Say, "Has God forbidden the two males, or the two females, or which the wombs of the two females enclose?  Tell me with knowledge if you are truthful."

144.  Of camels a pair, and of oxen a pair.  Say, "Has God forbidden the two males, or the two females, or which the wombs of the two females enclose?  Were you present when Allah ordered you such a thing?  But who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead men astray without knowledge?  For Allah guides not people who do wrong."

145.  Say, "I find not in the Message received by me by inspiration any forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine, for it is an abomination, or what is impious, on which a name has been invoked other than Allah's."  But, if a person is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.

146.  For those who followed the Jewish Law, We forbade all with undivided hoof, and We forbade them the fat of the ox and the sheep, except what adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone.  This in recompense for their willful disobedience, for We are True.

147.  If they accuse you of falsehood, say, "Your Lord is full of Mercy, All-Embracing."  But from people in guilt, never will God's wrath be turned back.

The Cattle 6:143-147

Your Lord is full of Mercy, All-Embracing.

Letter to Julia 20131112

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

Hi there, my beautiful, precious Julia.  How are you feeling today, my beloved darling?  I suppose you can tell that lately I've been watching a lot of episodes of "This Old House".  I just want my Julia to have the most awesome house, not too big I hope, but the most awesome.  InshaAllah.  I want my Julia to have a house like in those comic books, a sentient house, that speaks and self-cleans and self-repairs.  Well, at least she could have a house with the best of modern amenities.  I wonder if we could contract those guys from "This Old House".  I see they even do jobs in Mumbai, the heart of the Global Financial Gap.  So they possibly could help build Julia's house in Malaysia, where drywall and gas pipelines don't exist.  Check out this episode of "This Old House rebuilds New Orleans", Julia my dearest.  Check out the automatic power backup and the Green House.

Oh hi, Erin!  Of course I love you, and I always think of you.  I want to be there with you and embrace you, and help fight off those horrible monsters that make you feel bad.  I'm sure you are busy with your Victoria's Secret business nowadays.  I used to love making jokes about your half-naked friends, but I guess I have to stop doing that.  But I have one last joke!  I promise, no more after this one!  I'll have to admit, this is a pretty stupid joke, but here goes....  If Victoria's Secret opened a fast food chain where the staff wore only lingerie, what would you call it?  Vicky D's!  Ar! Ar! Ar!  Funny, huh?  Oh, well.


Qur'an 20131112

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

133.  Your Lord is Self-Sufficient, Full of Mercy.  If it were God's Will, God could destroy you, and in your place appoint whom God Will as your successors, even as God raised you up from the posterity of other people.

134.  All that has been promised to you will come to pass, nor can you frustrate it.

135.  Say, "O my people!  Do whatever you can.  I will.  Soon will you know who it is whose end will be, in the Hereafter.  Certain it is that the wrongdoers will not prosper."

The Cattle 6:133-135

O my people!  Do whatever you can.  I will.  Soon will you know who it is whose end will be, in the Hereafter.  Certain it is that the wrongdoers will not prosper.

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

Hello there Julia and Erin, my dearest heart.  How are you feeling today?  How are those precious emotions?  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  I am alone here and pining for you as usual, because I love you, and I need you.  Please take good loving care of yourselves.

As my wives inshaAllah, you automatically become professional endorsers of food products.  Your outstanding qualification is that you are MY girls.  Mine, mine, MINE.  So please be sure to go with your buddies to your favorite and trusted restaurants and enjoy your favorite foods and non-alcoholic beverages.  For a more potent impact, try to go together.  Julia already knows the limits, so I will state the broad guidelines for your knowledge Erin, if you didn't already know.  No pig, no blood, no carrion, and most importantly before the first bite, say "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful."  Do not eat of food on which the name of Allah has not been pronounced.  Study verse 5:3 of the Qur'an for a more detailed prohibition, but please know that if you are forced to eat thus by necessity, then Allah is Most Forgiving.  Please be pure and good women, role models for the world, whom Allah has blessed with beautiful souls as well as physiques, inshaAllah.  Although there can be no more secrets in our public life, please know that you are loved.  I love you, and I will help protect you, inshaAllah.  And if God loves you, God is the Best to Protect.  Bon Appetit!

Qur'an 20131110

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

114.  Say, "Shall I seek for judge other than Allah?  When God it is who has sent unto you the Book, explained in detail."  They know full well to whom We have given the Book, that it has been sent down from your Lord in Truth.  Never be then of those who doubt.

115.  The Word of your Lord does find its fulfillment in truth and justice.  None can change God's Words, for God is the One who Hears, and Knows all.

116.  Were you to follow the common run of those on earth, they will lead you away from the Way of Allah.  They follow nothing but conjecture, they do nothing but lie.

117.  Your Lord knows best who strays from God's Way.  God knows best who they are that receive guidance.

The Cattle 6:114-117

Shall I seek for judge other than Allah?  When God it is who has sent unto you the Book, explained in detail.

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

YOOOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!

Hi there, my most precious gorgeous darlings.  Yes I know I said it's my week of isolation, but I gotta have my Sweeties, because I love you and I need you so much.  Plus I had to blog the Qur'an.  Oh Erin, the meaning of the password is that you have to give a donation of one dollar (or more if you feel like it) in the name of Allah to whatever deserving charity.  You will discover that people will make a big stink over a lousy dollar, because it didn't go to them.  Isn't that right, Julia?

There's a new mosquito in town.  I had never seen this type of mosquito before I returned here to Malaysia from the USA, so it wasn't here 30 years ago.  Climate change.  It's about a tenth of the size of an average mosquito, it's so tiny you can't feel the bite.  But it leaves a nasty, red, itching welt that can last for days or forever if you don't treat it with rubbing alcohol.  So please be careful about mosquitoes here.  I don't any nasty critter leaving any horrible marks on my precious girls.  I'll kill them!  Please be ready with the bug spray when you're here, but please try not to kill any spiders.

Speaking of bugs, there will always be people who have no faith, no matter what God shows them.  It is not God's plan to guide them, so just avoid these people.  Don't even listen to them.
