[2:169]

إِنَّمَا يَأۡمُرُكُم بِٱلسُّوٓءِ وَٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

.

.

.

He enjoineth upon you only the evil and the foul, and that ye should tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.

.

.

.

Han anbefallen du bara ont och fel, och att ni skall berätta om Allah det som ni vet inte.

[2:170]

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ بَلۡ نَتَّبِعُ مَآ أَلۡفَيۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَنَآ‌ۗ أَوَلَوۡ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَلَا يَهۡتَدُونَ

.

.

.

And when it is said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We follow that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers were wholly unintelligent and had no guidance?

.

.

.

Och när det sägs till dem: Följ det som Allah har uppenbarat, säger de: Vi följer att där vi fann våra fäder. Va! Även om deras fäder var helt ointelligent och hade ingen vägledning?

[2:171]

وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ڪَفَرُواْ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى يَنۡعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءً۬ وَنِدَآءً۬‌ۚ صُمُّۢ بُكۡمٌ عُمۡىٌ۬ فَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ

The likeness of those who disbelieve (in relation to the messenger) is as the likeness of one who calleth unto that which heareth naught except a shout and cry. Deaf, dumb, blind, therefore they have no sense..

.

.

De likna de som inte tror (i förhållande till budbäraren) är en avbild av en som ropar till det som hör noll förutom en vecka och gråta. Döv, stum, blind, därför de inte har någon mening.

Last saturday Gökhan and I was at dinner at our friend Ali. He was making drilled fish in oven and to it they served sallad. They always do here in Turkey, nothing eals then sallad, maybe çorba as starter.

For dinner Ali drank raki and he was pushing us to drink it but we are more religious then him. But I have never tried Raki before so he made me a glas anyway, and I can say I like it but I need much more water then he put. So every sip I took I drank some extra water before. But I learned something about it, if you dont want that strong taste afterwards you can eather drink some şalgam (a drink made out of red carrot) or eat a spone with yoghurt. Non of them worked for me but at least I have now tried Raki, even if it haram.

After dinner I gave him a Polkagris with tast of Viol. Every time I have been giong here I have given him Daim becouse he loves it but this time I tried something new. And it became a big hit that too!

Alis mum is so kind and everytime we are there at dinner she is spoiling us so much. First dinner, tea and dessert, then we get frutes and when we are all full we often sit down and watch some tv and then she come with turkish coffe. You can not move anywhere when you are done.

We tried that evening to look into our future in coffe, Gökhan had sign of Allah, Aii had fire and I had a wolf. And both Gökhan and me had a thick round spot in middle of the cup, they said it meant that someone was looking over us.

So we will see what will happen......
