Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, Prosperity is described as the condition of enjoying wealth, success and God's blessings. The simplest way to attain prosperity is to follow God's law. We have confirmation of this from God (Quran 7:163, 10:98). Observing the Commandments Brings Prosperity [Quran 7:163] Remind them of the community by the sea, who desecrated the Sabbath. When they observed the Sabbath, the fish came to them abundantly. And when they violated the Sabbath, the fish did not come. We thus afflicted them, as a consequence of their transgression. All we have to do is follow God's commandments for a double bonus, i.e., enjoy the materials of this world and enjoy Paradise eternally. God's Promise Kings and Queens on Earth [Quran 24:55] GOD promises those among you who believe and lead a righteous life, that He will make them sovereigns on earth... Perfect Happiness: Now and Forever [Quran 41:30] Those who proclaim: "Our Lord is GOD," then lead a righteous life, the angels descend upon them: "You shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve. Rejoice in the good news that Paradise has been reserved for you. [41:31] "We are your allies in this life, and in the Hereafter. You will have in it anything you wish for; you will have anything you want. God be praised.
