Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Our news headlines often feature conflict and terror. People who believe in God--pitted against one another, divided and hostile.

Ironically, many of these warring factions have one thing in common. They all believe in God. The Christians believe in God; the Muslims believe in God; the Jews believe in God; the Mormons  believe in God; the Buddhists believe in God; Jehovah witnesses, the Hindus, … they ALL believe in God.

The Quran provides the solution to our divisions in 3:64. It invites us to focus on God and rise above the human factors!


         Invitation to All Believers
[3:64] Say, "O followers of the scripture, let us come to a logical agreement between us and you: that we shall not worship except GOD; that we never set up any idols besides Him, nor set up any human beings as lords beside GOD." If they turn away, say, "Bear witness that we are submitters."
