And make ready against them all you can of power,
including steeds of war to threaten the enemy of Allâh and your enemy,
and others besides whom, you may not know but whom Allâh does know.
And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allâh shall be repaid unto you,
and you shall not be treated unjustly.
[Surah 8, Ayah: 60]
Al-hamdulillah, we have a new family member! His name is Aswad, and he is 4 1/2 years old. Amirah is very happy now, after having for eight months only goats as company, and follows him whereever he goes. So it is easy to bring them to the beach together. We have to start slowly with the training and putting on weight, but he behaves quite well and we let him grazing free already on the first day. Unfortunately it looks he got beaten before, so it takes long time to get him used to sword. We will need probably longer than two months to train him for the mounted archery. He also shows some stubborn features like a donkey: A real challenge!


We are very glad to be back in the valley after seven weeks of travelling. Not much happened here so far. We could not proceed much with the second house because the wood got delayed. So we just got started with the second storey. Yes, it DOES look like a mosque!

We got yesterday also another new family member. His name is Orinoko. The poor chap got caught by a dog, his right arm does really hurt him! He was totally exhausted yesterday when he came, and was still this morning when I left for Manado. Unfortunately they bring us these wild animals only when they are half dead already. InsyaAllah he will recover ... but not sure yet, what to do with him. Monkeys are not really our favourite pets!!! Maybe giving it to a newcomer as welcome gift hehe ...
