Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, We can get caught up in discussion of (or thoughts about) an issue to the point where the time devoted is undeservedly excessive. Asking some simple questions can help put things in perspective, e.g., "Is this material to my salvation?" or "Am I pleasing God with what I'm doing, or am I forgetting God?" [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. May God help us to remain devoted to Him throughout each day.
