In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
158. Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or your Lord, or certain of the Signs of your Lord? The day that certain of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before, nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say, "Wait you: we too are waiting."
159. As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part in them in the least. Their affair is with Allah. God will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.
160. He that does good shall have ten times as much to his credit. He that does evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil. No wrong shall be done unto them.
161. Say, "Verily my Lord has guided me to a way that is straight, the religion of right, the path by Abraham, the true in faith, and he joined not gods with God."
162. Say, "Truly my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are for Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds."
163. No partner has God. This am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to God's Will.
164. Say, "Shall I seek for Cherisher other than Allah, when God is the Cherisher of all things? Every soul draws on the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards God. God will tell you the truth of the things wherein you disputed."

Pisces
I don't believe in astrology. While it may be an ancient art, and astrologers may have compiled a list of bad habits that are Pisces, that doesn't mean that I have to be like that. For instance, Pisces is flaky, but I have maintained my voice training time everyday for several years now without fail, despite pressure to shut up. Pisces always calls in sick, but even though I was almost dead from being poisoned by smallpox I still cleaned my mother's toilet on Sundays, even though some people regard themselves as exempt from such work. Pisces always runs away, but I have stood my ground here for over 11 years already even though there is no music business here. But I will buy into the good traits, like Pisces is artistic and creative. So should you mold whatever new thing you have into something fruitful, artistic and beautiful. Pisces in intuitive, so should you trust your instincts and openly and aggressively fight any business situation that makes you uneasy. Pisces is metaphysical, so I put my faith in God, not astrology. Do you understand my direction, Erin my beloved?
Hi Natty! Are you feeling better now? I hope you are. Emotions are like tides, they come and go. That's why patience is the only thing that can douse emotions. Please have faith in our marriage, and that God will bring us together inshaAllah. It could happen faster than light. Meanwhile please try to stay away from drugs and alcohol, because that will make you feel lonelier.. I get lonely too. I want you here with me.

Fame is how you smell it
Hi Erin! How's life? It's a struggle to be normal, I'm sure. I think few of us ever find satisfaction in it. I am carrying a tiny bit of a surplus right now, but I need to spend on the Internet so I'm being cautious. Work, you know. Since I didn't eat out, I cook according to what's in my cooler. Lunch was liver, tomatoes and ginger with tortillas, and I was out of time for dinner so I fried up some chicken nuggets I had left in there. Knowing how to cook really helps. Alhamdulillah. That way you save so much on food, and you learn to "ride the refrigerator" so to speak. It's a spiritual thing. Allah is the One Who provides sustenance. Have faith, Honey. We'll come together inshaAllah. Stay fit and stay active OK? I love you.
Hi Natty! How are your emotions? Please try to be patient. Of course I long to be with you, and the waiting is hard on me too. But don't you worry about a thing OK? InshaAllah everything will turn out just great for us. You are such a beautiful girl, and I love you.
I admit that I'm a lazy slob, always have been. I do shower and brush my teeth, y'know. But nothing I do is good enough for anybody- maybe I should work for a perfume company. Nah, no time. I don't take fame seriously enough. I used to when I was younger. I guess I lost interest in doing things just for the sake of being seen/smelled. That's why having an avatar is so handy. I guess I need to get back to that, huh. 😫 Yeah yeah, I just showered an brushed my teeth. I'll put on some perfume and eat some mint as I go out...

I am a follower, not a leader
I am a follower of Muhammad (peace be on him).
He was of the cult of Abraham (peace be on him).
He joined not any partners with Allah.

Qur'an 20190228
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
147. If they belie you say, "Your Lord is full of Mercy, All-Forbearing, and never will God's Wrath be turned back from people who are sinners."
148. Those who worship others will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have taken partners with God, nor would our fathers, and we would not have taboos." Likewise belied those who were before them, until they tasted Our Wrath. Say, "Have you any knowledge that you can produce before us? Verily, you follow nothing but conjecture and you do nothing but lie."
149. Say, "With Allah is the perfect proof and argument. Had God so willed, God would indeed have guided you all."
150. Say, "Bring forward your witnesses who can testify that Allah has forbidden thus." Then if they testify, do not confirm them. And you should not follow the vain desires of those treat Our Signs as falsehoods, and those who believe not in the Hereafter, and they hold others as equal with their Lord.
151. Say, "Come I will rehearse what your Lord has prohibited you from." Join not anything in worship with God, be good and dutiful to your parents, kill not your children because of poverty- God provides sustenance for you and them, commit not shameful acts whether secretly or openly, and take not life for Allah forbids it except for just cause. Thus has God commanded you that you may understand.

Liver and onions
Hello Ladies! How are you today? I hope you are feeling and doing absolutely great. It's a chaotic day here today! Not me in particular, just everyone else chasing the dollar. I did pay my bills and do some shopping today, but I managed to stay within my budget. I am running late with this post though, sorry about that. Whenever I have rice for dinner, it always makes me late for everything else I have on my agenda that evening. A rice dinner is always so labor intensive, to cook, to eat, to clean up. Actually, it was liver and onions with rice. Do you like liver? It's supposed to be very good for your blood, which in turn is good for your hair. We all want shiny and healthy hair, right? I found some Australian beef liver going for quite cheap at the supermarket, so I decided that was dinner. I like liver. I wonder if I have enough left to grill...
February 28 is my birthday! I'm still alive! Alhamdulillah! I wonder if any one of you will wish me Happy Birthday. Watch and remember...

Qur'an 20190227
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
142. And of the cattle are some for burden and some for meat: eat of what Allah has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Satan. Surely he is to you an open enemy.
143. Eight in pairs: of the sheep a pair and of goats a pair. Say, "Has God forbidden the two males or which the wombs of the two females enclose? Inform me with knowledge if you are truthful."
144. And of camels a pair and of oxen a pair. Say, "Has God forbidden the two males or the two females or which the wombs of the two females enclose? Were you present when Allah ordered you such a thing? Then who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead humans astray without knowledge. Certainly Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers."
145. Say, "I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be carrion, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine, for it is an abomination, or what is impious on which a name has been invoked other than Allah's. But if a person were forced by necessity without willful disobedience nor transgressing due limits, certainly your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
146. And unto those who are Jews, We forbade them every with undivided hoof, and We forbade them the fat of the ox and the sheep, except what adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone. This in recompense for their willful disobedience, for We are True.
