Luck, or magic?

I find it hilarious that people would prefer to believe in luck and magic over God.  Even the intelligent ones.  Even those who call themselves "Muslim".  We are on a spiritual trip, my love.  We cannot run away from God, we can only run towards God.

Natty Honey, are you ready to get back to big business?  Oh you're nervous, I can tell.  It's exciting, my dear.  You are going to have tons of fun inshaAllah.  Have you broken any mirrors recently, I wonder?  Good thing we believe in God, not luck.  How's your tummy?  Sweetheart you need to learn how to feed yourself, especially if you plan to feed others.  I suggest that when you are having stomach problems, stick to white bread and sliced turkey.  It will help your tummy to think of home.  And before you consume anything, please say "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful".

Qur'an 20180103

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

7.  When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the unbelievers say of the truth when it comes to them, "This is evident sorcery!"

8.  Or do they say, "He has forged it!"  Say, "Had I forged it, then can you obtain nothing for me from Allah.  God knows best of that whereof you talk.  Enough is God for a Witness between me and you.  And God is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."

9.  Say, "I am no bringer of new fangled doctrine among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you.  I follow that which is revealed to me by inspiration.  I am a warner, open and clear."

10.  Say, "Do you see?  If it be from Allah and you reject it, and a witness from among the children of Israel testifies to its similarity and has believed while you are arrogant, truly Allah guides not a people unjust."

Wherever you go, there you are

I assume you must be feeling a little spooked Honey, and it's OK.  It's OK to be scared.  Actually we have to be scared, then focus our fear on Allah.  Put all your fear into God, and God will strengthen your heart so that you do not become paralyzed with fear.  You can imagine that the evil people are afraid as well (the envious, thugs, hypocrites, crooks, corrupt governments), that's why they behave as they do because they are afraid.  But they do not have the hope of Allah.  However, you actually feel a little thrilled about this exciting life of yours, huh?  This beautiful life, this path you have chosen that very few others understand, even though they may be rich and influential.  If you were to live a "normal" life like most everybody else, you would still be subjected to fear (the envious, thugs, hypocrites, crooks, corrupt governments).  Life isn't supposed to be easy.  So you keep on with whatever business you are doing and don't be intimidated, and please pray.  Pray.  InshaAllah, everything will turn out just great.

Ya Allah, the Protector, please protect my Erin and Natty.

Qur'an 20180102

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

4.  Say, "Do you see what it is you invoke besides Allah?  Show me what it is they have created on earth, or have they a share in the heavens? Bring me a book before this or any remnant of knowledge, if you are telling the truth!"

Erin!

Oh my God, are you OK?  I read about that plane crash in Costa Rica... I didn't think you were in there, but I couldn't help worrying.  Please show me you are all right.  I have no other way of knowing, other than guessing.  You are my life, I love you so much.  Ya Allah, please protect my Erin and Natty.

Pretty

Wow that's a beautiful snapshot, Erin.  You are so pretty.  I wanna be pretty too!  But I'm not.  I'm guessing that you are becoming fluent in Spanish as well.

You're pretty too, Natty.  So much prettiness.  The world is certainly a beautiful place.

Qur'an 20171231

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

25.  And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, their argument is nothing but this: they say, "Bring back our forefathers, if what you say is true!"

Say, "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death, then God will gather you together for the Day of Judgement about which there is no doubt," but most humans do not understand.
