Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 5:100] Proclaim: "The bad and the good are not the same, even if the abundance of the bad may impress you. You shall reverence GOD, (even if you are in the minority,) O you who possess intelligence, that you may succeed."


When it comes to doing the right thing, some people need others to join in before they will choose what's good. And some people may stay with the majority even if they know deep inside that it's not right.

As Submitters, we should not need others to do the right thing before we do it. We should not worry about what others think, but rather of what God thinks of us and our choices. God has given us the Quran and instructed us to follow the religion of strict monotheism (Quran 30:30).

May God help us do our very best not to pollute our belief with any kind of idol worship (Quran 6:82, 6:161). May God help us devote our worship, our life and death absolutely to Him alone (Quran 6:162, 30:43, 98:5).
