In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hey there, my beautiful Erin. How are you feeling today, you gorgeous girl? I pray you are feeling great and having a terrific time. Please maintain your prayers, and be a good girl. I love you, and I need you.
Only 2 weeks ago, it was raining everyday . The rain was heavy, pounding the ground like sledgehammers at times. We should have flooded here in Perlis, but we didn't. The water drained quickly and as furiously as it came down. It flooded much of everywhere else though. Now the weather is hot and dry. I was cutting the grass just now, and I was surprised at how dry the grass was. As if it hadn't rained at all recently. But it is supposed to be the dry season here in January. What a violent mood swing, though. The weather around here has been very distorted the past 6 years.
By the way, when you're giving away beauty tips, don't forget to mention how important it is to have a good heart. For example, you were at your most beautiful when you were making that video for the Northwest at the children's hospital in New Orleans. You were wearing just a simple black dress and hardly any makeup, but no one could deny how beautiful you are, and how much you are loved.

Letter to Erin 20150113
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
So have you given much thought about your house? I'm rather easy going. I prefer small houses: the house I'm living in now is perfect for me, and I love this house so much. That's because I've been alone all my life, and I'm a lazy slob. But don't worry- I do house cleaning when I'm forced to, even though I loathe it. As for your house, you would probably find me sleeping on the floor somewhere, in front of a computer. The dimensions of the foundation that I gave you are modest, so you certainly can't build a mansion. Just a normal sized house, for us and our children. With all the modern amenities, especially backup power and water. I would want the house to be easy to clean, perhaps with a flushing system that I can turn a lever and wash the house out with a single flush. But it is YOUR house, so it has to fit you. For example, the doorways have to at least allow you and your high heels to pass easily. Everybody's short here, so you won't find such doors here: they would have to be custom made or imported. The counter tops can be tall, I don't care. I'll sit on a baby chair or something.
I told you before not to limit yourself to one product when it comes to your work. Why don't you take the opportunity to learn more about houses as you work? Those guys on "This Old House" sure know their stuff, but they're not pretty. You would be a great asset in front of the camera, talking to homeowners. Go ahead and give them a call, and help crank up their "hot babe" factor. Anyway, please pray with me that Allah will bring us together and keep us together in love and happiness, in this life as well as the hereafter. Erin, I love you and I need you.

46. Say, "I do admonish you on one point: that you do stand up before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect. Your companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible penalty."
47. Say, "No reward do I ask of you: it is in your interest. My reward is only due from Allah, and God is Witness to all things."
48. Say, "Verily my Lord does cast the Truth. God that has full knowledge of what is hidden."
49. Say, "The Truth has arrived, and falsehood neither creates anything new, nor restores anything."
50. Say, "If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul. But if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me. It is God Who hears all things, and is near."
Sheba 34:46-50

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
So what about the wedding? Oh Erin, clearly by the time that happens inshaAllah, I'll have so much to do with getting your house ready plus what I'm already doing. Because by that time I will have money, and I would have more to do for the simple reason that I can afford to do it. All I need and what would make me happy is a simple ceremony at the local mosque, and some food to feed the witnesses. This doesn't preclude what you want, for you are my wife, and I want to make you happy. Simplicity and austerity doesn't seem logical because we are in the Public Eye. But I have no friends, other than Allah Who has saved my life over and over again, and the few people who cared about this music and its musicians way back in 1994. We could have a wedding party at your new house which I will build for you, as both a wedding party and a house warming party. So whatever you visualize for your wedding, include your house in your vision. If you desire an elaborate party, then it will have to be Malay Islam, so do your research. I will probably be wearing black and gold colored attire. Urgh... there's so much to do. I'm running out of breath thinking about it.
Let's proceed with patience, shall we? Since there's no action without the money, then let's think and visualize what we want. When it comes time for action inshaAllah, you can be sure that I'll proceed slowly and meticulously to make sure things get done right without overruns. I think I'll relax and watch TV right now. You start learning to slow down too, Erin. Make them follow your clock, my love. I love you, and I need you.

34. Never did We send a Warner to a population but the wealthy ones among them said, "We believe not in that with which you have been sent."
35. They said,"We have more in wealth and in sons, and we cannot be punished."
36. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom God pleases, but most men understand not."
37. It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you nearer to Us in degree, but only those who believe and work righteousness. These are the ones for whom there is a multiplied Reward for their deeds, while secure they are in dwellings on high.
38. Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment.
39. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of God's servants as God pleases, and nothing do you spend in the least but God replaces it, for God is the Best of those who grant Sustenance."

My my, you are clever. Things are rather exciting, huh? Because you are my girl. Well you take it easy and take your time my lady, don't rush yourself for people, start learning to slow down. You are my Rock and Roll Babe, you are my queen, so please carry yourself as one, just don't forget Allah ever.
For dinner it was chicken wings! Oh, it's just a simple recipe. I tossed 12 drumettes in flour then fried them to a crispy but not too crispy. The sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce straight out of a bottle, one of Malaysia's oldest name brands. Great for chicken wings. The wings were enjoyed with some flat bread. I'm going to feed you well, my darling. InshaAllah. Then we'll work out together, OK? Erin, I love you and I need you.
