Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,


Research has found that darkness leads to bad behavior (http://pss.sagepub.com/content/21/3/311 ). Participants in controlled experiments consistently veered towards morally questionable behavior as their testing environment was made darker.

God put this in the Quran many centuries ago (113:3).

[Quran 113:1] Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.
[113:2] "From the evils among His creations.
[113:3] "From the evils of darkness as it falls.
[113:4] "From the evils of the troublemakers.
[113:5] "From the evils of the envious when they envy."

Praise God, as submitters -- we know God is always with us and sees all we do (57:4). We fear God, not whether people are watching us.

[Quran 57:4] He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days,* then assumed all authority. He knows everything that enters into the earth, and everything that comes out of it, and everything that comes down from the sky, and everything that climbs into it. He is with you wherever you may be. GOD is Seer of everything you do.
