Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Those who truly believe in God will by strive to obey the commandments and be upright people. Believing in God and leading a righteous life go hand in hand (Quran 2:25, 62, 82, 103, 112, 177, 277; 3:15-7, 57, etc.). By setting a good example, they invite people to God's religion. In contrast, disbelievers repel from the path of God by setting a bad example (Quran 16:94).


     Believers Set the Example
[Quran 49:11] O you who believe, no people shall ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or make fun of your names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after attaining faith. Anyone who does not repent after this, these are the transgressors.

[Quran 26:84] "Let the example I set for the future generations be a good one.


May God help us to set a good example and invite others to His path.
