Conference 2013

When Sunday noon came around, we enjoyed our last prayer together and then took the time for many photos so we can hold onto the memories throughout the year. Then, more than 100 people went to Masjid Tucson for a pizza/Eegee’s party. It was fun to have everyone gather together and enjoy God’s  bounties.

Many people had to leave then, but for those who remained in Tucson, on Monday, we took a trip to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, a world-renowned zoo and botanical sanctuary. In spite of the heat, everyone seemed to really enjoy seeing the variety of desert plants and animals. It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to appreciate the diversity of God’s creations.

By God’s Grace, the conference was a great success. Thanks to Him, and to the local community for putting it all together. And thanks to everyone who traveled from great distances to come together with their fellow submitters in the worship of God. May God bless us all and give us a wonderful year of growth in submission. And may He allow us all to unite again in 2014.

[29:69] As for those who strive in our cause, we will surely guide them in our paths. Most assuredly, GOD is with the pious.

Letters from  Readers

Salaam,

I received my copy of the Quran the other day and am so excited to finally have it. I love your website and all the information on it. I was raised Catholic but spent most of my life trying to find the truth. For the first time in my life, I feel close to God because I am now worshipping Him Alone. Everything makes sense now. I'm sharing the Quran with my 19-yr. old daughter and helping her to understand what Islam means. I had previously read the entire 114 suras by Rashad Khalifa online and was in the process of reading them over again when I got my Quran. Again, thank you and may God bless you all.

Peace be with you,

I would like to express my deep gratitude for the site. By the will of God I learned a lot of useful information. Unfortunately without knowing the English language, I use the Google translator. But thank God there is an opportunity to read Rashad Khalifa translation of the Quran. Delightful and very strong. … there is only God. 

Thank you very much and may God help in this matter.

Ed. note: Submitters are working on a Russian translation of the Quran; God willing it will be available at: http://www.masjidtucson.org/russian/

We have been sending weekly reminders to submitters in our email list and it is a great success, praise God. The weekly reminder email is not very long.

[51:55]  And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.

We would like every submitter, whether receiving our newsletters or not, to be included in the list. God willing you can join the list by sending an email to
info@masjidtucson.org and saying that you want to be in the weekly reminder list. If you want to make it a really short email, just write “weekly reminder” in the subject line and send it.
