A very Happy New Year to each of you 🙏

Many thanks. And the same to you, Hermes Blessings.

Which means my wife will want the grass mowed, the shrubs pruned, and the patio scrubbed. Oh woe and lackaday 😫 Happy Solstice to all 👍

I recommend two works: For general reading: ‘The Qur’an’, by Muhammad Abdel Haleem, King Fahd Professor of Islamic Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. For serious study: ‘The Study Quran; a New Translation and Commentary’, by Shaykh Sayyed Hossein Nasr...

Whose interpretation of the Qur'an are you reading? As for wishing you luck.......well....the more diligent - and well founded - your studies, the luckier you will be! 😉 Blessings.

That you did, lass. That you did. ;)

Lurking.

Not me! 🤪

Fair comment.

Save it for the Day. I'm not the one you will answer to. Any man who looks at a woman with lust in his heart is no better than an adulterer. You will recall who said this. Anyone who seeks to excuse slaughter is no better than the slaughterer. And yes, you have said enough.

Justice will come only at the Judgement. On that Day, and only on that Day, will folk be treated equally, and judged by the same law. May it come sooner rather than later.

‘And the King will answer and say to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”’(NKJV; my emphasis). If this is true – and for Christians it most certainly is – then Yeshua (ʿalayhi as-salām) is being oppressed and...

‘Say, ‘Should I seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?’ Each soul is responsible for its own actions; no soul will bear the burden of another. You will all return to your Lord in the end, and He will tell you the truth about your differences.’ (Qur’an 6:164; my emphasis).

Attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr (1892-1971). One of my favourite prayers.

Sorry, my bad. When I said ‘peaceful’ I was not referring to the absence of war, but rather to the general atmosphere of the area in which I was raised (Treherbert; Rhondda Valley; South Wales). As a child, my world was very small. Next to no cars; no home telephones; no TVs; no muzak in...

Yes. In those days a good neighbour was a trusted friend, someone you could share joys and troubles with. In many ways, part of the family. Today, a 'good' neighbour is one who doesn't give you grief!

It was peaceful. And folk talked to each other....face to face 😉

Brother!! 😍
