Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 3:159-160] ... and trust in GOD. GOD loves those who trust in Him. If GOD supports you, none can defeat you. And if He abandons you, who else can support you? In GOD the believers shall trust.
*3:159 The currency of the U.S.A. is the only currency that carries the phrase: "In God we trust." It is a fact that the American dollar has been the strongest currency in the world, and the standard by which all other currencies are measured.

[Quran 11:123] To GOD belongs the future of the heavens and the earth, and all matters are controlled by Him. You shall worship Him and trust in Him. Your Lord is never unaware of anything you do.

Imagine if you were involved in a sporting event, let's just say basketball. The team you are about to compete against consisted of the top players in the world. Your team consisted of you and four other average people. If God supported you and wanted you to win the game, there is nothing your five opponents could do to stop your team. The same is true if you had all the top players on your team and God wanted you to lose the game.

As Submitters to God, we believe He is in control of all things, and as long as we are devoted to Him only good things will happen. Even if we don't win a game we are in or get a job we wanted, it's for the best. God knows what is good for us. And it is our best interest to trust in Him.
