Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

God willing the 2014 annual Submitters conference will be from August 8-10 in the Washington DC area. This is a happy annual occasion when submitters from all over the world get together to remember God (Quran 3:191, 2:152, 4:103, 7:205, etc.), increase their knowledge (Quran 58:11, 20:114) and meet their brothers and sisters in Submission to God (Quran 49:10, 18:28), the eternal family.

     The Real Family
[Quran 49:10] The believers are members of one family; you shall keep the peace within your family and reverence GOD, that you may attain mercy.

[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.
 *3:191 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.

     Quranic Study Groups
[Quran 18:28] You shall force yourself to be with those who worship their Lord day and night, seeking Him alone. Do not turn your eyes away from them, seeking the vanities of this world. Nor shall you obey one whose heart we rendered oblivious to our message; one who pursues his own desires, and whose priorities are confused.
