Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, [Quran 6:99] He is the One who sends down from the sky water, whereby we produce all kinds of plants. We produce from the green material multitudes of complex grains, palm trees with hanging clusters, and gardens of grapes, olives and pomegranate; fruits that are similar, yet dissimilar. Note their fruits as they grow and ripen. These are signs for people who believe. [Quran 15:22] And we send the winds as pollinators, and cause water to come down from the sky for you to drink. Otherwise, you could not keep it palatable. God has blessed us with rain (and snow) that provides us with water to drink and sustains agriculture and industry. Without the water cycle, plants, animals and ultimately humans would cease to exist on earth. May God help us to remember His many blessings including the rain, and to be appreciative. --- ** Announcement ** --- The annual Submitters conference will be on September 3-5 in Chicago IL, God willing.
