Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, God has created all of us as individuals; each, responsible for our own actions [Quran 6:94] "You have come back to us as individuals, just as we created you the first time... " Blaming other people or countries for bad things happening to us only serves to absolve ourselves from taking responsibility. As Submitters to God we have to take responsibility for our own actions, implore God for guidance, and follow His words alone. Only then will we be able to help build a better society we desire. In contrast, the Ulama (religious scholars) blame the western world for their problems while refusing to examine their own backyard where groups of Muslims are oppressing and killing their own brethren in the most barbaric manner, against the Quran's teachings. They do not understand God's system of maximum freedom, guaranteed human rights, economic prosperity and social justice (Quran 2:256, 10:99, 88:21-22, 5:8, 49:13, 2:275-277, 59:7, 2:215, 70:24-25, 107:1-7). Instead of following Quran, they follow the lies in Hadith and Sunnah and consequently walk away from God's protection (Quran 4:79, 13:11, 22:38). [Quran 17:33] You shall not kill any person―for GOD has made life sacred ... [Quran 4:79] Anything good that happens to you is from GOD, and anything bad that happens to you is from you ... God Defends the Believers [Quran 22:38] GOD defends those who believe. GOD does not love any betrayer, unappreciative. May God help us remain devoted to Him Alone and follow the Quran as the only source of religious guidance (Quran 6:19, 38, 114, 115; 17:46; 50:45).
