Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, God willing the 2013 annual Submitters conference will be from August 16-18 in Tucson. This is a happy annual occasion when submitters from all over the world get together to remember God (Quran 3:191), increase their knowledge (58:11) and meet their brothers and sisters in Submission to God (49:10, 18:28), the eternal family. {subtitle} The Real Family [Quran 49:10] The believers are members of one family ... [Quran 3:191] They remember GOD* while standing, sitting, and on their sides, and they reflect upon the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, You did not create all this in vain. Be You glorified. Save us from the retribution of Hell. [3:192] "Our Lord, whomever You commit to Hell are the ones You have forsaken. Such transgressors have no helpers. [3:193] "Our Lord, we have heard a caller calling to faith and proclaiming: 'You shall believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us our transgressions, remit our sins, and let us die as righteous believers. {footnote} *3:191 Your god is whoever or whatever occupies your mind most of the time. The true believers are those who remember God most of the time. See 23:84-89 and Appendix 27 (http://www.masjidtucson.org/quran/appendices/appendix27.html). [Quran 73:8] You shall commemorate the name of your Lord, to come ever closer and closer to Him.
