Being a record of the ruminations, ramblings and obsessions of a Hound of the noblest breed (or so His Lordship claims, anyway). The focus being on dark music and culture, style, spirituality and - naturally – Basset Hounds.

Handy cufflinks
While on the subject of handlebar moustaches, Lord Bassington-Bassington's better three-quarters, Lady Mju, brought these cufflinks to His Lordship's attention. And they are rather iresistible, aren't they? If not divine?
I would say so; while it's rather unislamic to be vain, looking respectable is condoned if not expected. And I believe you need these to look respectable.
Does not Sura 7:31 say "O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters?"
This is the best I could find at the moment, if I'd been at home I could have looked in my treasured Muhammad Asad translation.
You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The world hopes for more passionate writers like you who aren’t? ¯t afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.

Very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteBuy them! You deserve them! :-D
ReplyDeleteYes, they are, aren't they? Tatty Devine also makes moustache rings for ladies, I'm told.
ReplyDeleteIs that to be considered as a fatwa, my dear Mullah?

Then again, as a canine I'm not a Child of Adam...
ReplyDeleteExactly, summed up with vanity is a no-no, but keep looking good, boy!
ReplyDeleteBe a good dog and order your cufflinks online, now, and I'll get you a biscuit!
I will put my secretary on it promptly. Perhaps my better three-quarters deserves a moustache ring, too.
