Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, Humans have set up elaborate programs for detecting asteroids. Yet, with the most modern technology, we still cannot possibly stop or even know about every meteor in advance. Only God can protect us from any harm (Quran 22:65, 1:5, 6:61, 3:173, 4:132, etc.). He is the only One who is fully aware of all things (Quran 57:4, 2:29, 6:59, etc.). [Quran 22:65] Do you not see that GOD has committed in your service everything on earth? The ships run in the ocean by His command. He prevents the heavenly bodies from crashing onto the earth, except in accordance with His command. GOD is Most Kind towards the people, Most Merciful. [Quran 57:4] He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. He knows everything that enters into the earth, and everything that comes out of it, and everything that comes down from the sky, and everything that climbs into it. He is with you wherever you may be. GOD is Seer of everything you do. A major prophecy in the Quran is the Smoke in Sura 44. If God chooses to have an asteroid strike the earth, it will certainly bring a profound smoke (44:10-15). The best protection for our souls is to freely choose to worship Him Alone (Quran 1:5). [Quran 1:5] You alone we worship; You alone we ask for help.
