Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is One God!
 Therefore you shall adore the Lord your God
 with all your heart,
 with all your soul,
 with all your mind,
 and with all your strength.    [Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Mark 12:29-30, Quran 3:18]

[Quran 26:89] Only those who come to GOD with their whole heart (will be saved).

[Quran 37:40] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (will be saved).


"Submission" is the religion whereby we recognize God's absolute authority, and reach an unshakable conviction that God ALONE possesses all power; no other entity possesses any power that is independent of Him. The natural result of such a realization is to devote our lives and our worship absolutely to God ALONE. This is the First Commandment in all the scriptures, including the Old Testament, the New Testament, and this Final Testament.

What will my day today look like? Will it be devoted absolutely to God alone? Or will my heart and mind be distracted by this life?
