Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 2:272] ... Any charity you give is for your own good. Any charity you give shall be for the sake of GOD. Any charity you give will be repaid to you, without the least injustice.

[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.


Being charitable is one of the traits of the righteous (Quran 2:177, 3:17, 33:35). God is the One who blesses us with provisions including money, and it is a blessing to be able to give to charity seeking to please Him alone (Quran 2:270-272, 76:9, 92:18-21).

God provides us with opportunities to be charitable (Quran 9:60). A project put together by Submitters, cooperating in a matter of righteousness with a charitable organization, is building water wells for the needy. This is the fourth time since 2011 that the project has been organized. By the grace of God, the past three efforts led to over $125000 being donated which contributed to building over 15 wells in Africa.

By God's Grace submitters have been generously contributing once more, and God willing this year's project will be active until September 30.
