In the name of Allah,the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful.
Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason? Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows, while you know not. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet, and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers. A faction of the people of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they perceive [it] not. O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah while you witness [to their truth]?
Wow! I have not gone to your blog for SO long and seeing this takes me back about 2 mini-lifetimes: one where we still had the house on Old Indian Hill and another since then when you've (apparently) spent a lot more time away from your blog in favor of a person now your fiancee. I SO miss those times in Cincinnati -- thanks for doing this blog since it took me right back. I am also looking forward to our times in Cleveland knowing you will be leaving your beloved Burlington in less than a month. Some things change, but no so the love that I have for my dear family, and especially you. I don't know whether you will want to change the name of your blogspot, though, since you'll be that much further from Essex Junction, but I know your wonderful times in VT will stay in your heart. Welcome to yet another change -- your Mom and Dad will be here awaiting your arrival.
