Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 34:1] Praise be to GOD--to whom belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; all praise is also due to Him in the Hereafter. He is the Most Wise, the Cognizant.


God is Omnipotent and could have easily created us without free will. But, He gave us freedom. This means we can choose to worship Him alone or not, but in turn bear the responsibility for our choice.

To help us make the right choice, God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, puts reminders all around us of His greatness. He gives us so many proofs and reasons to be in awe of Him, and to reverence Him alone. But it takes a lifetime of steadfast submission to God to believe and truly be aware that only God owns, knows and controls all things. To see that He is the Almighty Creator, the Lord of the universe. And to live our lives knowing that to Him belongs all kingship.

May we truly realize that all Sovereignty belongs to God alone well before we stand before the Master of the Day of Judgment.
