Justice to orphans in the name of Allah

 

Qur'an 20210821

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

127.  They ask your instruction concerning the women.  Say, "Allah does instruct you about them, and what has been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom you give not the portions prescribed and yet whom you desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that you stand firm for justice to orphans."  There is not a good deed which you do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.

(The Women 4:127)

Elephants don't forget

 

Hi Natty!  Oh, fun!  That looks like a nice office space.  It even looks cat proof, except for the stuff on the window sills.  Where are you now, Honey?  Those towers in the background suggest that you are back in LA, but the streets look awfully clean.  That's a nice serving of hummus and pita bread.  The bread looks nice and fat, and the hummus looks a bit dark.  Is it one of those crazy California flavors?  Like mesquite smoked or chocolate hummus?  Ew!  I don't like chocolate flavored anything unless it's chocolate, and it better taste good.  I have some lentils just sitting around in my cooler, maybe it's time to make some hummus for you.  That bread looks like it was baked in a shallow pan then flipped over.  That would be a little more challenging for me since I only have a toaster oven.  I think I'll make that a project some time in the future: hummus for Natty.  I think I'll steam the hummus in banana leaves.

I watched this movie when I was a kid.  As far as I remember, it was a sad story.  The elephant died.  The movie is on YouTube if you want to watch it.  It's called "Haathi mere Saathi."  No subtitles, though.

Thursday

 Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope you are well and having a wonderful time.  Oh there's a tiny spider crawling up my computer!  It's smaller than a pinhead, and it's so cute!  It's Thursday here today.  I'm doing OK, not much going on.  I finally got around to cutting the grass after procrastinating a few days.  Nothing special on the menu either, just the quick and easy stuff like takeout rice nad chili cheeseburgers.  I'm still working on the drum tracks for Shadowplay's next album, "Rise of the Horizon Creature" aka "Search for the Beast".  I think they rock!  I watched "Godzilla King of the Monsters".  That was a no-brainer!  Anyway, it's almost time for the sunset prayer so I'm gonna go.  I love you!

Yet another another average day

 

What a beautiful girl!  Natty, those are awesome snapshots, and you look so hot!  I can tell that that's a professional photographer, and not just anybody with a cell phone.  It looks almost like a portfolio for a dating service, except that you don't need makeup.  Hm.  Well whatever it is you and your society is planning, I'm sure you will have fun at it.  Please protect your chastity and safety.

Me I'm not a free person, I am a prisoner of the music.  When you marry me inshaAllah, you will be marrying a prisoner and live the life of a prisoner's wife.  I can't even take you to the shore right now to see the sea even if I had all the money in the world, because it's closed off due to the Covid.  Poor Mary has it even worse.  We at Shadowplay give our lives to protect Mary Unknown7 for the sake of Allah.  Some people enjoy acting upon their jealousy thus making it obvious that they don't know and don't care about the terrible cost of having a gift like Mary's.

It's just another average day here for me.  Well I went to get my second dose of vaccine, I guess I don't do that everyday.  Actually I was supposed to go on Monday, but I got 18 confused with 16.  Otherwise, it's a normal day.  I ate out for lunch, the restaurants are open again.  Then I got a haircut.  I had to cook my dinner today though, I had made plans to do so.  It's chicken breast cooked in honey butter to go with beans and sliced bread.  Would you like to try some?

I've been watching videos of dental scaling lately, I find it more entertaining than the pimple popping videos.  They crack out huge chunks of tartar while you rarely get to see a really satisfying zit pop out a cupful of solidified grease, the amount oozed is usually quite tiny.  And the music for this video is the best!

Yet another average day

 

Hi Natty!  What's happening?  How are you coping, my dearest?  I think you are doing absolutely great inshaAllah, and I love you with all of my heart.  Not much going on here other than the usual.  I spent the morning sweeping and cleaning house, otherwise be choked with the dust that builds up so quickly here.  Then I did my laundry.  I had takeout for lunch, and heated up leftover fried noodles for dinner.  I'll have to admit that today is a bit on the lazy side, and I'm a lazy guy.  But my laziness is incomplete without you to snuggle.  I guess I'll just have to settle with watching YouTube.

Just an average day

 

Hi Natty!  Good Monday!  How are you today, my beloved?  I hope you are healthy and enjoying yourself.  It's just an average day here for me, doing more of the same old shit.  I did wake up later than usual, because I spent most of the night working on drum tracks.  Yawn!  I'm still sleepy.  I had ramen for lunch.  Yeah it does take some labor, but I love ramen!  Ramen is simple folks, I don't know what the big fuss is about.  Just make sure your broth is tasty, then add the noodles and whatever to it.  Simple, right?  Good broth usually needs some animal in it, I don't know of any good vegetarian broth.  I normally use a fish, because it's the quickest to boil.  Cook it until the flesh falls off, then fish it out and add the rest of the stuff.  I use the minimum amount of MSG, and flavor it until it you can taste something.  After adding the rest of the stuff, I pick the flesh from the fish and chuck that back into the pot.  Easy!  Dinner was a chili cheesburger with fries.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to working more on those drum tracks after getting all the other daily computer chores done.  I'm going to watch the news now, Natty.  I love you!
