We have the following verse where it was God’s will that the believers “saw” differently:
[8:44] And when the time came and you faced them, He made them appear fewer in your eyes, and made you appear fewer in their eyes as well. For GOD willed to carry out a certain plan. All decisions are made by GOD.
Or it may be a trick by Satan:
[7:116] He said, “You throw.” When they threw, they tricked the people’s eyes, intimidated them, and produced a great magic.
So, we pray that God protects us from being deceived. We trust in Him that we see what we should, so we aren’t deceived by Satan. We pray that God allows us to see the truth, especially our mistakes when we’re going astray. Because we don’t want to fall into the following category: [6:43] If only they implored when our test afflicted them! Instead, their hearts were hardened, and the devil adorned their works in their eyes.
On the Day of Judgment, the eyes will be among the organs that will bear witness against us if we are unrighteous. The eyes will say, “Yes I read that Quran,” so the human being attached to those eyes, will have no excuse.
[41:20-3] Once they get there, their own hearing, eyes, and skins will bear witness to everything they had done. They will say to their skins, “Why did you bear witness against us?” They will reply, “GOD made us speak up; He is the One who causes everything to speak. He is the One who created you the first time, and now you have been returned to Him.” There is no way you can hide from your own hearing, your eyes, or your skins. In fact, you thought that GOD was unaware of much of what you do. This kind of thinking about your Lord will cause you to fall, and then you become losers. If they continue the way they are, Hell will be their destiny, and if they make up excuses, they will not be excused.
Praise be to God, for the awesome blessing of eyes. May God help us use the eyes in a manner that pleases Him and grows our souls.

[67:23] Say, “He is the One who initiated you, and granted you the hearing, the eyes, and the brains. Rarely are you appreciative.”
God has blessed us with the opportunity to send weekly reminders to submitters in our email list. The weekly reminder email is not very long. It usually consists of the topic of the week, and the corresponding Quranic verses and links to get more information from. The reminder is sent every Thursday, God willing.
[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, write “weekly reminder” in the subject line and send it. Or join via: weekly.html
If you also include in the email the city and state that you live in, God willing we can compile this information and use it for the submitters without a community who are asking to communicate with other submitters in their area. Please help us to help you and other submitters by joining the list and by being proactive, God willing.
[3:200] O you who believe, you shall be steadfast, you shall persevere, you shall be united, you shall observe GOD, that you may succeed.
[87:9] Therefore, you shall remind; perhaps the reminder will benefit.
