Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

All the scriptures of God have the same basic and universal message reflecting the first and greatest commandment of all:

“There is only one God. You shall devote your worship absolutely to God alone.”

For example we see the following verses in the scriptures.

One of the scribes came up, and when he heard them arguing he realized how skillfully Jesus answered them. He decided to ask him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
Jesus replied: “This is the first
‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!
Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your mind, and with all your strength’ ”
(Mark 12:28-30, See also Deuteronomy 6:4-5).

   Monotheism: Natural Instinct*
Therefore, you shall devote yourself to the religion of strict monotheism. Such is the natural instinct placed into the people by GOD. Such creation of GOD will never change. This is the perfect religion, but most people do not know.
(Quran 30:30)

Surely, those who believe,
those who are Jewish, the Christians,
the converts; anyone who
believes in God, and the Last Day,
and leads a righteous life,
will receive their recompense from their Lord;
they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve”
(Quran 2:62, 5:69)


The beauty of Submission is that it is universal. God gives everyone an opportunity to make it, regardless of what they call themselves.
