1. Text to Madiha on Thursday 5 June 2014
Dr Umar: I was building my new Manuscripts* Website last night when, at about 11 pm, a strong perfume smell came from my body - from the bottom of my throat where the Ruh (soul) is! It was a lovely fragrance. Allah must be pleased with my effort.
Wasim: Meezan Superstore on Wilmslow Road are selling haram chicken.* I found out from a member of staff, Wazz. Tell everyone, including Trading Standards. And ring them to complain on: 0161 248 4533. Tell your friends on Facebook and get the business closed down!!!! (20:18:21)
* Got a Message from Allah: Baqwas karda i.e. Wasim uis talking nonsense.
3. Texts to Asfa on Sunday 5 May 2013
Dr Umar: Had a Message from Allah a few minutes ago that I should say to you: "I will guide you through the dark days of your life."
Dr Umar: I you saw large fish in that dream, it means money coming to you in the near future. But small fish in a dream represent cares and sorrow. (Ibn Sireen R.A. Dreams and Interpretations p. 97)
5. Text to Madiha on Tuesday 10 June 2014 Dr Umar: I was drifting off to sleep when I got the thought that you had your fingers in the hinge area of a door and you would suffer a terrible injury if the door were to close. I either warned you or tried to warn you. Meaning: You might get hurt emotionally soon. Take care. (5: 01 AM)
6. Text to Madiha on Wednesday 11 June 2014
Dr Umar: If your parents are happy with you, then Allah is Happy with you. You have to go to Allah some time i.e. die and then you may, in fact will, regret what you should not have done. By meeting gore in an illicit way, you are deceiving your parents. Therefore, you are deceiving Allah. I would advise you to think carefully about your deeds. It is not worth being punished in Hell for a few worldly moments of pleasure. (5:52 PM)
Dr Umar: It is possible to be blinded by lust and love and then find out afterwards that you have done evil. My advice to you is to be a good Muslim from the heart and live your life as if you are being watched; certainly Allah watches you and Knows what you do. This is the best way to avoid Allah's eventual punishment. (6:01 PM)
7. Text Conversation with Bilal on Tuesday 21 May 2013
Bilal: Can you please order me 10 sets of these books. * (12:02 pm)

* Dawah Material IDCI Books from Birmingham, UK. Please see: http://idci.co.uk/
8. Text Conversation with Bilal on 30 June 2013
Bilal: Are my Books here now? Did you manage to pick them up from Old Trafford (a district of Manchester, UK)?
Dr Umar: Already gave you the Books when we last met, Bilal!
Bilal: OK, can you order me two (new) sets please.
Dr Umar: OK, who needs them?
Bilal: Some friends.
Dr Umar: Right.
Bilal: Thanks.
9. Text Conversation with Bilal on Wednesday 19 June 2013
Bilal: Can you get me 2 copies of the Holy Quran please.
Dr Umar: Sure, Bilal; thanks for praying that I marry Tasawar. I'll make the order for the two swts this evening.
Dr Umar: Apologies for not being able to talk on the phone. Have been ill with flu - and still am, Bilal. But I still managed to order the Qurans and Books a few hours ago. Now waiting for delivery.
Bilal: Thank you.
Bilal: Get well soon, InshAllah. Ameen.
9. Text Conversation with Bilal on Saturday 8 June 2013
Bilal:Have you contacted Khalid* yet?
Dr Umar:Not going to contact him till I receive a fresh delivery of Dawah Materials from IDCI, Birmingham.
Dr Umar:Salam, Bilal, just phoned Khalid. He said: "I'm working at the cmoment" and has taken my mobile number and said he'll phone back. He was very suspicious of and wanted to know which of his friends had chosen him for Islamic literature, so I gave your name and then he understood. (Sun 9 June 2013)
Bilal:Shall we meet at Sanam Restaurant at 9:30 tonight?
[Phoned Bilal and told him it was no use meeting if he was going to return the IDCI Quran to me to pass onto Khalid - until Khalid phoned me back to confirm that he did want the Resources. Asked Bilal in another phone call if he wanted to drive me to Blackburn, Lancs, UK in his Nissan Qashqai SUV to distribute Power of Durood. Bilal refused, saying he wasn't free and was busy with family; true, because I could hear the voice of his niece in the background].
Dr Umar:I was going to pay for the petrol there and back if you could have made it - got up to £45 in pocket for expenses!
Dr Umar:I'm in a small town called Accrington. Given about 40 copies out in quick time!
Also pointed out:
a) We can't force Khalid to take the Resources if he does not want to accept them
b) If he does phone, I will him anther set from IDCI. Meanwhile, Bilal can give the copies of the Holy Quran from previous IDCI orders to new people.
* Khalid was a former friend with whom Bilal had broken up due to a dispute. He was hoping to give him Islamic resources in an attempt to revive the friendship
