Submitters Perspective
December 1998
Fasting in the Bible, excerpted from Thomas McElwain's Islam in the Bible, argues that fasting was a complete daylight abstention during the ninth lunar month, joined with prayer, charity, and justice, as practiced by Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. The issue also carries Sam Levenson's beauty tips for his grandchild and points Young Enlightened Submitters to reading materials online.

November 1998
Remembering God at all times without withdrawing into hermitism, through awareness that God witnesses everything, gratitude for His blessings, the contact prayer, and saying God willing. A second article explains the fast of Ramadan, how to set its start and end from new moon and sunset times, and how to find the Night of Power, with dates for Ramadan 1998 to 1999.

Submitters Perspective
October 1998
Righteousness as the Quran presents it, traced through the real prohibitions of Sura 6, the changing of the qiblah, one religion of Submission with different rites, the Hajj pilgrimage, and the dress code, which the article argues requires covering the chest rather than the head or face. Notes follow from the thirteenth annual conference of submitters in Seattle, September 1998.

Submitters Perspective
September 1998
God's title Possessor of the Highest Degree, found only once in the Quran at 40:15, and the gematrical value of the Arabic word rafii equaling 360, tied to the number 19 and its purposes in 74:31. Masjid Tucson's interfaith soup kitchen and scripture study group are reported, followed by 40 guiding principles of life drawn from the Quran by the Quranic Society of Malaysia.

Submitters Perspective
August 1998
Islam, or Submission, practiced by the Quran alone is presented as a religion of peace, justice, and freedom, with Quranic conditions for fighting only in self defense and for amicable relations with disbelievers. A group of incarcerated Muslims at Avenal State Prison describes persecution by a traditionalist chaplain for rejecting hadith. The issue closes by defining a Submitter and the minimum criteria from Quran 2:62.

Submitters Perspective
July 1998
Unity among believers comes from following God's laws, treating each other kindly, and setting aside ego, with God as first priority and the Quran as the one source. A mealtime story shows how the tongue reveals the heart. Readers' letters respond to the website and Dr. Khalifa's translation, and details follow for the 1998 United Submitters International Conference in Seattle.

Submitters Perspective
June 1998
The equality of men and women in the sight of God, argued from the Quran against hadith teachings that keep women from the temple and the Friday Congregational Prayer, leads this issue, written by an incarcerated brother. Contradictions among hadiths follow, along with letters from readers and new converts, and an announcement of the 1998 Submitters conference in Seattle, Washington.

Submitters Perspective
May 1998
Life on earth as a test of choosing God alone over Satan's point of view, with racism named as Satan's principle and faith described as fine tuning away character defects. Masjid Tucson reports its interfaith soup kitchen and scripture study group, and the 1998 conference in Seattle is announced. A closing piece reads the spider's web of 29:41 as the flimsiness of idol worship.

Submitters Perspective
April 1998
The common message of God shared by Jews, Christians, and Submitters, traced through parallels between the Epistle of James and the Quran, with Abraham as the founder of Submission and a call to unity against global suffering. Honesty is examined through trust, truth, and equitable trade. A deadly stampede at the 1998 Hajj is blamed on restricting pilgrimage to a few days instead of the four sacred months.

Submitters Perspective
March 1998
A former Lutheran recounts her path from the Trinity to the Quran alone, arguing that hadith traditions set up a partner with God, that the Quran is complete, and that Jews, Christians, and Muslims worship one and the same God. Letters from incarcerated believers request copies of Quran: The Final Testament, and the office announces new telephone hours.

February 1998
Paradise and how to earn it through reverence in the contact prayer, obligatory charity, inviting to God without self promotion, repentance and steadfastness, drawn from Quranic verses. A second essay explains that this life is a test in prosperity and adversity, citing the tested prophets. Also defines who a Submitter is, introduces ICS, and notes the 1998 conference is still being planned.

January 1998
Ramadan as a gift of remembrance, tracing how God uses food, water, and fasting to test people and draw them toward constant awareness of Him, with the Quranic conditions of the fast. Also covers a Singapore charity luncheon for over 200 children, the Night of Destiny when the Quran was placed into Muhammad's soul, and its date this Ramadan.
