Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, The Night of Destiny will begin, God willing, at sunset on July 12, 2015 for places that began fasting on June 17. For details please see, http://www.masjidtucson.org/submission/practices/ramadan/index.html#nod and http://www.masjidtucson.org/Ramadan/ [Quran 97:1-5] We revealed it in the Night of Destiny.* How awesome is the Night of Destiny! The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord's leave, to carry out every command. Peaceful it is until the advent of the dawn. *97:1 The Quran was placed into Muhammad's soul on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah). See also 17:1, 44:3, 53:1-18, and Appendix 28. Think about the credit one can earn by commemorating God all night long on the Night of Destiny. We can all use this night to get extra credit into our individual PRA (Post Retirement Account) for the Hereafter. ----- God willing the annual Submitters conference will be from 7-9 August 2015 in Tucson AZ. 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), 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. Note: Early registration rates are valid till July 16, God willing. More details are at: http://www.masjidtucson.org/conference/ . If you have questions, please email info@masjidtucson.org The Real Family [Quran 49:10] The believers are members of one family ... [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). 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.
