Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, Fighting continues in the Middle East, Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere, with people killing each other in the name of God. There is plenty of war and misery in this world. Ironically, all these fighting factions have one thing in common. They all believe in God. The Sikhs believe in God; the Mormons believe in God; the Jews believe in God; the Muslims believe in God; the Buddhists believe in God; Jehovah witnesses, the Hindus, the Christians… 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 [Quran 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." Unity of All Submitters [Quran 2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
