Qur'an 20220111

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

31.  Say, "Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth?  Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight?  And who is it that brings out the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?  And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?"  They will soon say, "Allah."  Say, "Will you not then show piety?"

32.  Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer.  Apart from Truth, what but error?  How then are you turned away?

33.  Thus is the Word of your Lord proved true against those who rebel.  Verily they will not believe.

34.  Say, "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?"  Say, "It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it.  Then how are you deluded away?"

35.  Say, "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give guidance towards Truth?"  Say, "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards Truth."  Is then God Who gives guidance to Truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance unless he is guided?  What then is the matter with you?  How judge you?

Jonah 10:31-35

Thank You

 Hi there, Natty!  What are you looking at, Honey?  I hope that all is well with you over there.  I'm doing well here, so alhamdulillah.  I'm in the middle of cooking up more roast beef.  For dinner, I had a block of tofu swimming in curry.  Nice and healthy, huh?  After I'm done with the computer tonight, I have more kitchen work to do.  I bought some groceries, so I have to make it all fit in my small cooler.

Honey, it looks like our house has gotten bigger.  Not upwards and outwards, but downwards.  It's as if I walked into a room, and there's a hole in the floor revealing a huge room hidden below.  Or I walked into the bathroom and there are tiles missing, exposing a deep cesspool.  It's no concern of yours Natty, I'm the one who has to walk on those floors.  Anyway, I've decided that most of the fashion magazines are only good for generating landfill.  Good thing they have digital versions, huh?  It seems to me that only Vogue, Marie Claire and W seem to have much fashion in them.  I guess I'm going to have to start Googling for "fashion designers" and "fashion houses", because the fashion magazines are just trash.

I dressed up Mary's avatar in a pink dress with fuchsia heels!  Is there a law on that?  Yes I am color blind, but I knew that I was putting together pink and fuchsia.  It's because I was a rebel, or I didn't really care.

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are feeling great and having an awesome time.  I just got back from sunset prayer, it's been a busy day.  Sundays usually are.  I cut the grass in the evening, thank God I had leftover fried rice in the cooler.  Evenings have become so short, there's only room for one task, and if I had to cook then that's the only thing I would be able to do.

I was over at InStyle last night.  That place is more celebrity gossip than fashion.  I did find a couple of picks, though.  Not exactly haute couture, but wearable.

Last night I did Mary's wardrobe on the Second Life viewer!  It really sucked the first time I tried it after they updated it, but I found out the reason why and corrected the problem.  Why?  Hackers!  Anyway, it totally outperforms Firestorm and I'm quite pleased with it.  Also, there is no loss of inventory.  Mary's outfit today happens to be one of those older mesh dresses that don't quite fit, so I had to do some photo editing.  The credits are:

Qur'an 20220109

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

17.  Who does more wrong than such as forge a lie against Allah, or deny God's Signs?  But never will prosper those who sin.

18.  They serve, besides Allah, things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with Allah."  Say, "Do you indeed inform Allah of something God knows not, in the heavens, or on earth?"  Glory to God!  And far is God above the partners they ascribe!

19.  Humankind was one nation, but differed.  Had it not been for a Word that went forth from your Lord, their differences would have been settled between them.

20.  They say, "Why is not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord?"  Say, "The Unseen is only for Allah.  Then wait you.  I too will wait with you."

21.  When We make humans taste of some mercy after adversity has touched them, behold!  They take to plotting against Our Signs!  Say, "Swifter to plan is Allah!"  Verily, Our messengers record all the plots that you make.

Jonah 10:17-21

Wherever you go, there you are

 

Hi Natty!  Oh, you're still in Canada?  I thought you were back in SoCal for some reason.  To be honest with you Honey, I would rather you HQ in Vancouver.  You could definitely run a eco-friendly product biz from Canada, if I'm not mistaken didn't you gather resources from Canada for your business?  You could even do fashion business from Canada.  We have the Internet nowadays, Natty.  I feel better that you are safe within the bosom of your family than down there in Cali, being bugged by fake friends and mentors to cut up your nose.  Well, besides the danger of being run over by a giant snowball or mauled by a bear.  I repeat myself, please don't ever get plastic surgery.  You are perfect as you are.  You are beautiful, and I love you with all of my heart.  When it comes to body image, all I ask of you is to stay healthy and not get bloated.

Actually my initial orders were to stand my ground in USA, instead I chose to run home to Mommy.  But Allah forgave me and helped me because as it turned out, all the dangers and problems of Rock and Roll business followed me here.  And I'm still alive!  So praise be to Allah.  Wherever you go, there you are.

Where was I last night?  I went to Harper's Bazaar, and found some nice mini skirts.  I love mini skirts!

Qur'an 20220108

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

15.  But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us say, "Bring us a Qur'an other than this, or change this."  Say, "It is not of my own accord to change it.  I follow nothing but what is revealed unto me.  If I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the Penalty of a Great Day."

16.  Say, "If Allah had so willed, I should not have rehearsed it to you, or would God have made it known to you.  A whole lifetime before this have I tarried among you: will you not then understand?"

Jonah 10:15-16

Don't stop until it's finished

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  How's business?  I'm sure you're going to do absolutely great inshaAllah.  Just don't stop, OK?

I took my mother to the hospital early this morning, then I had takeout rice for lunch.  Today is Friday, so I had to attend Friday prayer.  Humph, days are moving really fast for me.  It's like the world is spinning faster.  But that makes sense when you're old.  Like I explained to my Mom, a year is half his life to a 2 year old while a year is 1/100th of his life to a 100 year old.  I guess it's basic relativity.

Anyway, I went to Elle again but I didn't find anything interesting there.  It's not as if they didn't have any fashion photos, there just wasn't anything worth my time.  I suppose they keep the good stuff for print.  But I don't bother with paper anymore unless it's my taxes, because I need a hard copy for myself.  Otherwise, I'm pretty much all digital.
