Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, Cooperating with each other in matters of righteousness is a virtue (Quran 5:2), especially for submitters. Cooperation for working righteousness helps us place God as the priority and put away our egos. As individuals, we have different ways of going about things. It helps to remember that others may have their own way of working to serve God. As long as righteousness is being observed and sinfulness is avoided, God willing we can work together in the cause of God. [Quran 5:2] ... Do not be provoked into aggression by your hatred of people who once prevented you from going to the Sacred Masjid. You shall cooperate in matters of righteousness and piety; do not cooperate in matters that are sinful and evil. You shall observe GOD. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution. [Quran 4:149] If you work righteousness―either declared or concealed―or pardon a transgression, GOD is Pardoner, Omnipotent. The Hereafter [Quran 17:19] As for those who choose the Hereafter as their priority, and work righteousness, while believing, their efforts will be appreciated. [Quran 22:77] O you who believe, you shall bow, prostrate, worship your Lord, and work righteousness, that you may succeed.
