Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 7:96] Had the people of those communities believed and turned righteous, we would have showered them with blessings from the heaven and the earth. Since they decided to disbelieve, we punished them for what they earned.

	Observing the Commandments Brings Prosperity
[Quran 7:163] Remind them of the community by the sea, who desecrated the Sabbath. When they observed the Sabbath, the fish came to them abundantly. And when they violated the Sabbath, the fish did not come. We thus afflicted them, as a consequence of their transgression.


God tells us about many communities in the Quran. When people believed, God blessed them (Quran 37:147-148). If they turned away and became unappreciative, they paid the price (Quran 34:15-17).

The system is simple. A successful nation observes God's laws. A failed nation makes up laws that are not from God, they choose the path Satan envisions, seeking tyranny instead of freedom, immorality instead of piety, and arrogance instead of submission to God. At the end of the day what Satan entices people towards is an illusion. Only God's system is real, sustainable and leads to happiness!


Thank You God.
