Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, What would I want God to say about me if my life on earth were over tomorrow? Will my record show that I have been working hard in righteousness towards attaining God's approval (Quran 51:56, 45:22, 90:8, 94:4-8), or will it show laziness? [Quran 51:56] I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone. [Quran 90:4] We created the human being to work hard (to redeem himself).* *90:4 See the Introduction and Appendix 7 for the purpose behind our creation. In this world, people work hard to achieve their goals. Are we doing the same with goals for our soul, the real person? God encourages us to examine ourselves regularly (Quran 59:18) to find out!
