Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

A big problem in the world today is the prevalence of bad behavior that causes harm to lives, property and people's happiness. People buy into Satan's system which spreads evil and causes bloodshed. The answer is to submit ourselves absolutely to God alone, while leading a righteous life (Quran 2:112). That is the path to guaranteed happiness (Quran 16:97), and a solution to problems at a personal and societal level.

[Quran 23:1-8] Successful indeed are the believers;
  who are reverent during their Contact Prayers (Salat).
  And they avoid vain talk.
  And they give their obligatory charity (Zakat).
  And they maintain their chastity. Only with their spouses, or those who are rightfully theirs, do they have sexual relations; they are not to be blamed.
  Those who transgress these limits are the transgressors.
  When it comes to deposits entrusted to them, as well as any agreements they make, they are trustworthy.

     Murder, Suicide, and Illicit Gains Prohibited
[Quran 4:29] O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly--only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.

[Leviticus 19:11–16] "Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord. Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight. Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the Lord. Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. Do not go about spreading slander among your people. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the Lord."
