Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, [Quran 83:22-26] The righteous have deserved bliss. On luxurious furnishings they watch. You recognize in their faces the joy of bliss. Their drinks will be spiced with nectar. Its spice is like musk. This is what the competitors should compete for. The Intelligent Alternative [Quran 57:21] Therefore, you shall race towards forgiveness from your Lord, and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heaven and the earth. ... Super bowl, the football championship game in USA, is this weekend. Players and teams work for many hours each day through the year, to try and reach the game. And a victory may be treasured for years. God tells us that Heaven is what we should compete for (Quran 83:22-26). That being admitted into Paradise is the greatest triumph (Quran 4:13, 5:119, 9:111, etc.). That means it's better than a super bowl victory or even a lifetime of winning games. How hard should we work for that? What will we do today to race towards Paradise?
