Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, One of the opportunities God gives us for growing our own souls is charity. By God's Grace, Submitters are blessed to be among the most charitable (Quran 2:195, 2:261-274, 3:17, 16:128, 33:35, 57:18) and at the same time are able to give in moderation (Quran 25:67). Submitters recognize that all charity is only for the sake of God and to please Him (Quran 2:270-272, 76:9). [Quran 3:133-134] You should eagerly race towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heavens and the earth; it awaits the righteous, who give to charity during the good times, as well as the bad times. They are suppressors of anger, and pardoners of the people. GOD loves the charitable. [Quran 57:18] Surely, the charitable men and women have loaned GOD a loan of goodness. They will receive their reward multiplied manifold; they have deserved a generous recompense. God provides us with many opportunities to help the poor (Quran 9:60). An opportunity suggested by submitters is a charity that builds drinking water wells for the needy in Africa. God willing this project will be active through 30 September 2015.
