This is one of Islam’s “Ninety-nine Names of Allah”. Sorry, I don’t know which number. I have discussed this rather peculiar name with Muslims, explaining that in English the term is synonymous with “time waster”, which I’m sure God is not, nor what the translators had in mind. It refers to God’s subtlety in delaying his judgment of human beings until the appropriate time. Much better. So, in my book, “He who bides his time” is better than procrastinator, and does have a kind of grandeur about it.
Anyhoo, I write this to explain why this month’s film and book review is going to be delayed for a short while. I am going away to the Canary island of La Gomera for a short holiday, and therefore will not post these blogs until I return home. Not procrastinating then, but holding off for a few days. Forgiven me dear readers!
