Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 11:11] As for those who steadfastly persevere, and lead a righteous life, they deserve forgiveness and a generous recompense.

[Quran 20:82] I am surely Forgiving for those who repent, believe, lead a righteous life, and steadfastly remain guided.


Ramadan ended about two weeks ago. How is our soul doing today? By God's grace, Ramadan serves as a nice "reboot" or "renewal" for spiritual growth. It gives us an opportunity to focus on the soul, fulfill God's commands and appreciate His guidance. But the practice of righteousness is not an annual or periodic event. Righteousness is a daily practice, something we steadfastly maintain. This world is full of little distractions and Satan will constantly try to tempt us into sliding back. Will we keep turning to God and persevering no matter what?
