Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

The gift of the month of fasting (Ramadan) is almost over. But, the opportunities to remember God, to please Him, and to work on purifying our souls persist.

When it comes to our bodies we enjoy the benefits year-round exercise provides. What about our souls? If we know our souls need to grow, what will we do? God has given us time to work on purifying our souls in this world that we may enjoy everlasting happiness in the Hereafter. Do we make the choices that please God and grow our souls?


[Quran 13:27-29] ...  Say, "GOD sends astray whomever He wills, and guides to Him only those who obey."
 They are the ones whose hearts rejoice in remembering GOD. Absolutely, by remembering GOD, the hearts rejoice.
 Those who believe and lead a righteous life have deserved happiness and a joyous destiny.


May we choose to adore the Lord, our God, with all heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength.
