Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, The month of Ramadan and fasting is a great time to examine our souls and set goals, God willing. It is important to set a goals as it helps shape a plan and chalk out the direction. As submitters all of us have a goal. Our goal is to reach Paradise that is promised to those who worship God Alone. Only those who single-mindedly follow this goal achieve success by God's leave. A simple reminder to achieve this G-O-A-L is: Glorify, Obey, Appreciate & Listen to GOD. Observing God's commandments and working righteousness allows us to reap the rewards in this life and in the Hereafter (Quran 2:189, 5:35, 10:62-64, 13:29, 16:97, 22:77, 62:10). [Quran 3:200] O you who believe, you shall be steadfast, you shall persevere, you shall be united, you shall observe GOD, that you may succeed. [Quran 62:10] Once the prayer is completed, you may spread through the land to seek GOD's bounties, and continue to remember GOD frequently, that you may succeed. [Quran 25:15] Say, "Is this better or the eternal Paradise that is promised for the righteous? It is their well-deserved reward; a well-deserved destiny." Peace.
