Erin, you are a beautiful flower

I wish my nose were long enough to reach you and smell you.  As for free time, I came down with a fever today, so I had to force some free time on myself.  I like to be lazy when I have free time, just watch TV and veg out.  As for taking time to smell the flowers, it looks like I need to have my flowers imported.  I love you, Erin.

Piene, I want you to post on your Instagram more.  Post, post, post.  Do as I tell you, woman.

My next door neighbor passed away this morning, so I spent the morning over at his house.  Not so much time looking over the body, but waiting for the hearse to take the body to the mosque for prayer.  There were a lot of people there.

Qur'an 20161010

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

9.  If we give man a taste of mercy from Ourselves, and then withdraw it from him, behold!  He is in despair and blasphemy!

10.  But if We give him a taste of favors after adversity has touched him, he is sure to say, "All evil has departed from me."  Behold!  He falls into exultation and pride!

11.  Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness: for them is forgiveness, and a great reward.

12.  Perchance you may give up a part of what is revealed to you, and your heart feels straightened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down to him, or why does not an angel come down with him?"  But you are there only to warn!  It is Allah that arranges all affairs!

13.  Or they may say, "He forged it."  Say, "Bring you then 10 Surahs forged like it, and call whomsoever you can, other than Allah, if you speak the truth."

14.  If then they answer you not, know you that this Revelation is sent down with the Knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but God!  Will you even then submit?

15.  Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter, to them We shall pay their deeds therein, without diminution.

16.  They are those for whom there is nothing in the hereafter but the fire.  Vain are the designs they frame therein, and of no effect are the deeds that they do!

Hud 11:9-16

Life is a stage

Hi Erin.  Hi Nat.  Oh dear, there's a lot to talk about today, but I'll try not to babble.  Life is a stage, but what is the meaning of life?  It is to worship Allah.  Everything else is entertainment.  I have to live a spiritual life.  I cannot be purely materialistic especially because of this music, and thus my wives have to live my spiritual life with me.

Erin Sweetie, what is that lonely road?  Please elaborate.

When I was in high school, I used to date a girl who had an identical twin brother.  Muslims aren't supposed to date, but I was a monster in high school anyway.  I feel sorry for my parents.  Anyway, my girlfriend was half Malay, half Chinese.  Her brother didn't survive high school.  He died when I was 16.  My girlfriend didn't elaborate on the nature of his death.  As for as she told me, he died of some illness.  But as I reflect with my emotions, I'm certain that there were race related complications in his life.  From Allah is our origin, and to Allah is our return.

Frankly, I'm not thrilled about having to turn a starlet into a housewife.  Models frequently become successful mothers and businesswomen, but starlets have a different mentality.  Nat you need to study, not desire.  Not just acting, but show business.  Not current affairs, but the history of show business.  This is because the arrogant think they can get away with shit because they've always gotten away with shit.  The Marquis de Sade story is too lurid to post, but everyone needs to study him because he is easily the father of modern pornography, and he has an army of followers.  Nat, I want you to understand what kind of people you're dealing with.  I'm afraid your brother is in danger.  He is being written into a scripted reality where he will be killed off, predictably while he is young and at his most profitable.  If he doesn't quit show business, then the only One Who can help him is God.

Chaos and corruption are patterns.  God uses chaos and corruption to separate the pure from the impure.  Like the scum generated when refining gold.  Please advise your brother to be cautious.  Pray.

Movie Star

Natty, you want to be a movie star?  Where did you get that desire from?  Oh, your family.  I'm sure you know that the heartbreak is greater while the money is worse nowadays for an acting career, but you still want it.  Sigh.  How about the heartbreak of us who would give their lives to protect you?  Please do as I ask you: don't try.  Let it come to you, so you can call the shots..  All you have to do is be beautiful.  And you are beautiful.  Next time you attend a formal event, have your agent get you a glamorous evening gown sponsored.  Make sure you carry yourself like a queen.  Life is a stage, so be a movie star all the time.  After all, you are my wife inshaAllah.

MashaAllah, my life is a movie.  And I don't even go anywhere, I just stay in one spot 24/7.  I don't have the looks nor the desire, but there it is.  Sometimes I get weary with how dangerous and treacherous my life is, but alhamdulillah.  Praise Allah.  God gave me the trust of this music, and no one else does what I do.  I think I'll wear a glamorous evening gown to the disco tonight.

Piene, that's a beautiful photo of you.  I love portraits like that,  You are growing up to be a true lady.  I also sense a geekiness but don't worry: I love geeky girls.

Thank you for not smoking

and for not being already married.  Boyfriends can be dumped, but marriage is a serious business.

Erin, do you like my hair?  It could be shorter I know, but this is as short as I have.  What I really want is hair like Louise Brooks.  That matches any outfit.

Nat, that earring looks heavy!  Oh, please don't hurt my Natty!

That's good business

Congratulations on your new ventures, Erin.  I'll have to say that I like your choice in bosses.  Make lots of money for yourself Honey, and don't waste it.  Do you like gold bars?  They're nice and shiny.

Natty my love, of course you can't ham it up in front of the camera.  As far as I understand, the madame just passed away.  So you had to be serious.  Serious business.  You're beautiful, though.

Qur'an 20161006

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

101.  Say, "Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth."  But neither Signs nor warners profit those who believe not.

102.  Do they then expect but the days of the men who passed away before them?  Say, "Wait you then, for I too will wait with you."

103.  In the end We deliver Our messengers and those who believe.  Thus it is fitting on Our part that We should deliver those who believe!

104.  Say, "O humans!  If your are in doubt as to my religion, I worship not what you worship besides Allah!  But I worship Allah Who will take your souls.  I am commanded to be of the believers."

105.  Furthermore, set your face towards religion with true piety, and never be in anywise of the unbelievers.

106.  Nor call on any other than Allah, such will neither profit you nor hurt you.  If you do, behold!  You shall certainly be of those who do wrong.

107.  If Allah touches you with hurt, there is none can remove it but God.  If God designs some benefit for you, there is none can keep back God's favor.  God causes it to reach whomsoever of God's servants God pleases, and God is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

108.  Say, "O humans!  Now Truth has reached you from your Lord!  Those who receive Guidance do so for the good of their own souls.  Those who stray do so to their own loss.  And I am not over you to arrange your affairs."

Jonah 10:101-108
