Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

A submitter recognizes God's mercy in everything that is happening. If something doesn't go his way, he is quick to submit, seeking to learn the lesson God is teaching him. And if something goes the way he hopes for, he recognizes and appreciates God's blessings (Quran 27:40). God is always on his mind, and the number one priority (Quran 51:56).

[Quran 4:79] Anything good that happens to you is from GOD, and anything bad that happens to you is from you ...

[Quran 10:62-64] Absolutely, God's allies have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve. They are those who believe and lead a righteous life. For them, joy and happiness in this world, as well as in the Hereafter. This is God's unchangeable law. Such is the greatest triumph.


As a believer, we must ask ourself, "Am I a submitter or an objector?" We must work hard to submit to God, fully aware that happiness is submission to God.
