Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, God has completely and fully detailed all things, including the description of the human being in the Quran. God explains in the Quran that we live in temporary exile and how that came to be as a result of the great feud and our failure to make a firm stand with God alone. As part of the test, God put our souls in a body to live in. The body always submits to God (Quran 13:15, 16:49). Our souls have a choice to make. We can choose this life, a temporary illusion. Or we can choose God and the Hereafter. The two paths--being appreciative or unappreciative are clearly laid out (Quran 76:1-3). [Quran 22:18] Do you not realize that to GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever GOD shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will. [Quran 76:3] We showed him the two paths, then, he is either appreciative, or unappreciative.
