Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

We are being watched and our works are recorded by God and His angels (Quran 50:16-18). God knows even our smallest action (Quran 6:60, 10:61) and we seek to please Him Alone. We are also watched by people around us. God encourages good behavior and how we behave towards our submitter family, neighbors, colleagues, friends and relatives can determine how others perceive Submission.

If we are humble, kind and charitable towards others--it may encourage people to want to learn more about Submission. God's prophets and messengers have set the example using a time-tested method of righteousness to invite people to Submission. We must also try not to repel others from Submission (by setting a bad example, Quran 16:91-94) lest we nullify our works.

[Quran 26:83] "My Lord, grant me wisdom, and include me with the righteous.
[Quran 26:84] "Let the example I set for the future generations be a good one.
