Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Every four years our calendars are adjusted by one day to keep it close to the true orbit of the earth. On Monday, we will have that "extra" leap day to work with, God willing. What can we do with that day? We can devote it God, by remembering Him more frequently, praising Him more often, by being kinder and more humble; in other words, by exhibiting the traits that God has shown us in the Quran (33:35, 52:26).

If we just take four minutes out of every single day throughout the year to remember and concentrate on God, then at the end of each year, we have devoted one whole day just to God. God promises us happiness if we remember, praise and glorify Him (Quran 13:28-29, 20:130).


[Quran 7:205] You shall remember your Lord within yourself, publicly, privately, and quietly, day and night; do not be unaware.*
*7:205 Your god is whoever or whatever occupies your mind most of the day. This explains the fact that most of those who believe in God are destined for Hell (See 12:106, 23:84-90, and Appendix 27).

[Quran 33:41-42] O you who believe, you shall remember GOD frequently.* You shall glorify Him day and night.
*33:41-42 Your god is whatever occupies your thoughts most of the time. Hence the commandment to commemorate God and glorify Him day and night. See Appendix 27.
