Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 3:173] ... "GOD suffices us; He is the best Protector."

[Quran 4:132] To GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and GOD is the only Protector.

The world is a chaotic place with widespread occurrences of disease, accidents and tragedies. Satan, who has temporary kingship on earth (Quran 2:30) cannot cope with running the planet and his constituents suffer.

So, how can we be happy and escape the cycle of misery? The answer lies in freely choosing to submit to God and seeking His kingship over us (Quran 10:62-64). If we truly worship God alone and live a righteous life then no harm can touch us because God protects His servants (Quran 3:174, 6:82, 39:61, 72:13, etc.).

May God help us and protect us.
