Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,


Research in psychology shows that giving to charity makes us happier. In the Quran, God encourages charities for the growth and purification of our souls. In giving charity for the sake of God, we benefit ourselves even more than those we help (Quran 2:261, 2:272).

...The Best Investment
[Quran 2:261] The example of those who spend their monies in the cause of GOD is that of a grain that produces seven spikes, with a hundred grains in each spike. GOD multiplies this manifold for whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Knower.


[Note: By God's Grace, and the generosity of those who believe, the Submitters Water-Charity project has met and exceeded its goal amount for 4 wells in Africa, http://mycharitywater.org/masjidtucson]
