[Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Salaam alaikum, In the news this past week, was a research study concluding that seeing someone else do a good deed, appears to inspire us to do the same (http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2010/01/28/0956797609359882.full). So, if we wish to make it easier on ourselves to work righteousness, the logical choice would be to put ourselves in the company of those who seek to please God. [18:28] You shall force yourself to be with those who worship their Lord day and night, seeking Him alone. Do not turn your eyes away from them, seeking the vanities of this world. Nor shall you obey one whose heart we rendered oblivious to our message; one who pursues his own desires, and whose priorities are confused. [15:98] You shall sing the praises of your Lord, and be with the prostrators. Praise be to God, once again we see that science is finding out what God told us in the Quran centuries ago! God willing this inspiration from one another to work towards righteousness also leads us to Compete in Righteousness.
