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

It's time for another season of Kitten TV!  SubhanAllah!  Alhamdulillah!  LailahaillAllah!  Allahuakbar!  Floofy just had another batch of kittens on Sunday night, right as they were calling the night prayer.  She had been in labor since my voice training session in the afternoon.  Floofy is very active all the way up to labor, jumping and running and playing around.  She's also very territorial, and got into a cat fight 3 hours before labor, which I suppose triggered it.  I was voice training when she started howling for attention.  I asked her if she were in labor, and she said "Meow."  I told her to find a place to park, and just wait.  I was busy all the way into nightfall, cutting grass, etc.  After sunset I was cooking my dinner, and she kept on begging for attention.  She had already chosen a spot, so while my potatoes and bamboo shoots were sizzling away, I went with her and stroked her head until the kittens came out.  At that point she didn't need me anymore.  Then the rain started to fall, and I knew right then that this gang of cats is special.  Now there's a full moon outside.  I love kittens!

Kitten TV had always been one big life threatening crisis, so I pray that this time it will be a happy show.  Ya Allah, please protect and heal all my kitties.  This time the mother cat had a flu vaccine right before she became pregnant like the vet recommended, plus right now since she gave birth, I'm giving her some antibiotics: very little, about half dose per day for 10 days.  InshaAllah there will be no tragedy this time.  When I last peeked at the little cuties, they were sleeping and neatly arranged in a row.  Bat Cat, Bob Cat, and 3 females who I haven't named yet: a white and blonde calico, a white and grey calico, and a calico/tortoiseshell .  A miracle, huh?  Ya Allah, thank You for the kittens.

P.S.  My Julia and Erin, I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140812

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

108.  Say, "What has come to me by inspiration is that your God is One God.  Will you therefore bow to God's Will?"

109.  But if they turn back, say "I have proclaimed the Message to you all alike and in truth, but I know not whether that which you are promised is near or far."

110.  It is God who knows what is open in speech, and what you hide.

111.  I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of livelihood for a time.

112.  Say, "O my Lord!  Judge You in Truth!  Our Lord most Gracious is the One whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies you utter!"

The Prophets  21:108-112

Julia darling, I love you so much.  You are so beautiful.  I long to taste your delicious cooking.  I hope you will someday enjoy my strange concoctions, made with love for you.  How about you, Erin darling?  Please don't feel left out with all this food talk.  It just means that you will be well fed when you get married to me, inshaAllah.  Please make sure you both stay fit, so you don't lose your self-esteem.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

I want to reaffirm right now, that I am devoted to you, and seek no other.  So I want you to feel secure in my devotion to and commitment to you, and not have your emotions swayed by the many women out there in the Public Eye.  I belong to you, you belong to me, and we belong to each other.  I have made my decision, and it is you.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Hello there, my beloved darling wives.  You know, I don't really have a certain style of cooking.  I'm more or less a go-with-the-flow kind of cook.  A harvester of chaos, I suppose.  But it's not even that: I just take what Allah gives me, and pray for the best.  So if you were to take formal training as an Italian chef, and served many patrons Italian food, that would make you a more superior Italian chef than me.  It's like an imam with formal training would be better at leading people in matters of Islam than me.  I'm just a musician.  Ya Allah, please forgive me, accept my worship, and bless my work.  When I was young, I never wanted to work food business, and when I did, I never really liked it.  What I wanted is to be pretty, be with pretty blondes, and be a Rock Star.  But Allah granted me experience and knowledge of cooking, for which I am grateful.  But I'm not an Italian chef, not a Chinese cook, not a Malay food expert, not a Japanese chef... none of the above.  I just worked for a long time in the food business, and served many patrons.  So I guess I got most of my culinary wisdom from the Department of Health and Human Services.  Plus watching Iron Chef.

For instance, I finally got around to making chicken pot pies today, because the Chinese store didn't have cream cheese on Monday.  I swear, anyone who opened up a cheese specialty store in this community would make a bundle.  Anyway, I had never made chicken pot pies before, and the pastry dough kept shrinking on me.  My filling of chicken cooked in milk, potatoes, blended egg whites with chicken and milk, and cream cheese tasted pretty good.  My pies are cooling as I write this my love letter to you.  I'm sure that they'll taste fairly good, and not too messy.  InshaAllah.  Would you care to join me for dinner?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

As I mentioned many times before, I believe the entertainment business is saturated with evil, and I do not want to participate in the way they run their business.  Obviously they can't stop their financial bleeding.  But really, I didn't do anything.  Their downfall was brought about by... their biggest idol!

InshaAllah, I intend to create a situation where Allah is glorified.  Let them worship and fear Allah.  They wouldn't treat me any better than they already do if I had followed their way anyway.  So I would rather please Allah with music, and perhaps Allah would grant me success, safety, and happiness in this life as well as the hereafter.  Ya Allah, please grant me so, as well as all the tools I desire to do this work.

If Allah grants me success, then my wives business will flourish too.  This means you would be the superior of all top models.  And you are already so with me, because you are MY girls.  MINE, MINE.  Remember that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, stay put, and raise a family together.  So as you become more and more successful, please arrange your business so that it would come to you when you marry me inshaAllah, or no deal.  Allah has granted you the material regardless of whether you marry me or not.  But it should be clear to you the greatness of this spiritual path, and the intense fall otherwise.  Therefore by choosing to marry me, you also choose to serve Allah, and if you serve Allah sincerely, then Allah will double your reward.  InshaAllah.  This makes you special, so please behave with due dignity.  Please keep the faith in Allah, stay clean, and be good girls.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Yeah, I was totally ready to post a blog on Saturday, but it turned out to be too dangerous to travel.  That's one thing you will need to get used to when  being married to me, inshaAllah.  We may have our day planned as efficiently as the Japanese military, but if I get the inspiration that it's too dangerous to travel, then we'll just have to stay at home that day.  You must trust me on this.  I've been doing this for decades already.  After all, what's the use of gaining knowledge if it's not used.  After all, Allah is the Best to Protect.  And I want to remind you both to stay clean and pure.  Don't corrupt your body or your soul.

I'm still trying to clear out my cooler.  I'm about half way through.  It's taking forever, huh?  I just added a batch of dough, and my Mom gave me some curry.  Alhamdulillah.  I think my next major project is chicken pot pies.  Creamy cheesy yummy.  Would you like to have a pot pie with me?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140804

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

43.  Or have they gods that can guard them from Us?  They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us.

44.  No, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them.  See they not that We reduce the land from its outlying borders?  Is it then they who will win?

45.  Say, "I do warn you according to revelation."  But the deaf will not hear the call, when they are warned.

46.  If but a breath of the Wrath of your Lord does touch them, then they will say, "Woe to us!  We did wrong indeed!"

The Prophets  21:43-46

I do warn you according to revelation.
