You know what it's like to engulfed in glitz and glamour, right Erin? That lingerie fashion show they hold every year. You had to live those years half naked, huh? It's a good thing you got your own place, so you have somewhere to hide (somewhat). You're so gorgeous, though. 24 hour Vegas is never far away from you. Are you busy with football season? I'm sorry, I'm not a big sports fan. But you do your job well, so you don't need me at that.
You're feeling good today, aren't you Natty? No heartache, the thoughts are calm, your tummy is behaving well. Dr. Zam has a prescription for your sensitive stomach. Please eat LARGE portions of the following foods:
1. Plain steamed rice with 2 eggs
2. Steak and mash potatoes
3. Salmon sushi
with filtered water only. I mean LARGE portions- eat until you're stuffed! Just the food and water, no sauces or spices. Soy sauce is OK.
And you're always hungry, aren't you Pina? Good thing you're going to take cooking classes. Your metabolism is on overdrive now honey, so you must not miss your meals. But as you age, that metabolism will slow down.
Natty honey, you're so cute! I love that upscale sporty look, and it sure suits you. I especially love those white sandals, I want a pair for me! That combination of yellow, blue and white is something I must try for myself. But 315 quid for a pair of boxers? Blimey!
You and Pina are going to come face to face with a massive dose of glitz and glamour. Natty first. They're going to bombard you with luxury and glitter, and make you feel like this is the way you should be living. You're going to be tempted to take a deep breath and plunge into a whirlpool of decadence, and you're going to forget about me. You almost got swept away right before Christmas, remember? That wasn't too long ago. Oh don't worry about me, Allah keeps me alive for a reason. But I will be screaming and yelling at you from the confines of these letters, trying to get you to save yourself by being moderate and keeping safe. But oh, all that money, all those beautiful people, all those blinking lights... and you're so young and beautiful. I understand that your love life is stressful, but I want to make you happy and give you success and wealth that is your own. Then when you're done with that, I will take you into my embrace, give you your own home with security and family. InshaAllah. But to resist the temptation of excess and decadence will be the test of you as an adult. This is a spiritual game. Please protect your chastity.
Natty! Pina! Don't be intoxicated by glitz and glamour!
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
49. They say, "What? When we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up, a new creation?"
50. Say, "Be you stones, or iron!"
51. Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest. Then will they say, "Who will cause us to return?" Say, "God who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads towards you and say, "When will that be?" Say, "Maybe it will be quite soon!"
The Night Journey 17:49-51 ----------------------------------------------------------
You have been in the spotlight since a young age, haven't you Erin? Before you were 20 even. So you should be used to a level of lack of privacy by now. Oh, I'm sure you never imagined nor desired how deep it could get, but you have gone global after all. You're not alone though: I am with you. Like I told you before, just point towards me and tell them "I am his wife inshaAllah", and I will distract them away from you. I didn't realize that I had no privacy until I was in my 30s (although I'm sure it began when I was in my 20s). I don't place much value in fame because it's been mostly poverty and manual labor for me. However, I am grateful to Allah for the spiritual awareness: Allah has kept me alive for some reason. Alhamdulillah. So I treat fame like it's nothing even though other people don't know how to behave. So that's what I want you to do: ignore them, but be safe and calculated.
Natty, you are a rose. A beautiful rose. That's a good photo, too. Please make sure all your photos are good.
Pina, having you model men's clothing is a brilliant idea! You look so adorable in those clothes, too. The Hanson video is for you. Watch it, and perhaps you will understand why men go crazy over that kind of image. Please stay blonde, and keep your hair long.
Erin, don't believe every news you read on your computer screen (this includes your cell phone screen). Somebody is doing window washing, and you can be certain that they know which window is yours and when you are watching it. The best way to interpret news nowadays is to seek what they are NOT telling you, and seeking other sources that confirm your suspicions.
Natty, all I'm trying to do is protect my wife and enhance her career at the same time. I will not consume her earnings. The best time for you to leave America is now, but if not then I will try to do my job within the limits of your decisions. Please protect your chastity.
I have 3 cats, but only one cat box. Mama cat Floofy dominates the cat box over her daughters. I don't know what the exact arrangement is, but her daughters poop around the cat box. Then Floofy likes to fling her poop as far away as possible, like she's throwing a Hail Mary. I should be grateful they they poop in the area of the cat box. But whether they poop in the cat box or around it, I'm the one who has to clean up the poop.
Natty, I want you to live and work in Paris. I want you to stay away from America for 4 to 8 years. Of course we can't help where your bosses post your photos, but you should at least not live in America. America is not your turf. It belongs to your brother and Erin. By the way, please say hi and Happy Birthday to your Mom for me.
Pina, how are things going in Italy? Did you get your new leather jacket yet? Remember, I want you to live and work in Milan, and I want you to take a class on cooking Italian food.
Who are we? For the most part, we are where we are. Where would we be without Skokie, Canada, and the Netherlands? I certainly would not have the same impact as I do now if I had lived somewhere else. I follow the orders from God that I receive by inspiration and the Qur'an. We need more than family connections to stay ahead of others, to be competitive. Even though I'm not trying to compete. I'm trying to please Allah. I'm trying to be me.
