Submitters Perspective, December 2001
Responding to violence in the name of religion after the attack on New York City, the lead essay presents Submission as a way of life open to every faith, citing Quranic verses on the sanctity of life, jihad, patience and forgiveness. Readers write in about the website and the rejection of hadith. A closing piece examines dogs in the Quran and fabricated hadiths attributed to Abu Hurayra.

Submitters Perspective, November 2001
Ramadan 2001 opens the issue, with fasting rules from the Quran, lunar months, and why astronomical new moon times replace moon sighting, giving this year's start, end, and Night of Power dates. A Thanksgiving reflection after September 11 links Lincoln's and Washington's proclamations to Quranic warnings against being unappreciative of God's blessings. A closing appeal seeks sponsors and volunteers to place Qurans in libraries.

Submitters Perspective, October 2001
A Submitter explains to friends why he stopped attending Friday prayer at a mosque he says advocates idol worship. Drawing on the Quran, he distinguishes the non-believer from the idol worshiper, who believes in God yet follows religious laws not authorized by God, idolizes others beside God, expects intercession from Jesus, Mary, and Muhammad, or follows ancestors without studying the Quran.

Submitters Perspective, September 2001
The Quran as complete, fully detailed, and all we need for salvation, with no need for hadith and sunnah, its mathematical miracle of 19 as proof of authenticity, and God as the Teacher who gives understanding. A report covers the 16th annual United Submitters International Conference in San Francisco in August 2001, followed by readers' letters about submission.org.

Submitters Perspective, August 2001
A reflection on feeling faith rather than merely practicing it: reverence in the contact prayer, night meditation, constant remembrance of God, cheerful charity, and eagerness for righteous works, all traced through Quranic verses. A second piece asks whether Muhammad's physical appearance matters, arguing that the message outweighs the messenger and criticizing Islamic websites that describe him through hadith.

Submitters Perspective, July 2001
The Psalms given to David are read alongside the Quran, with passages on refuge in God, His power, the vanity of wealth, idols, and the righteous inheriting the earth set beside matching verses. A second piece argues from the prayer Jesus taught that he was not God, and a nineteenth century hymn on God as Creator of all things shows submission in other religions.

Submitters Perspective, June 2001
Never despairing of God's mercy in hardship, drawn from Joseph, Jacob, Job, Abraham, Zechariah, Mary, and Moses and his teacher in the Quran. A second article answers claimed contradictions in the Quran: that no soul carries another's sins, obeying the messenger versus worshiping God alone, and how creation in two plus four days equals six days.

Submitters Perspective, May 2001
Apparent contradictions in the Quran are reconciled using the Quran itself, with the teaching that only the sincere can grasp it. Part I covers the death of Jesus, whose body died while his soul was raised to God, and why no life is cut short yet murderers are still punished for their intention. Letters from website readers follow, thanking submission.org for answering questions about hadith and the Shahada.

Submitters Perspective, April 2001
Converts to traditional Islam are asked a series of critical questions about scholars, Muslim names, dress, Hadith and Sunnah, ablution, and women at Friday prayer, with a former Sunni psychologist explaining why people cling to false beliefs. A second article sets out the Quran's teaching on charity: the obligatory Zakat, daily giving, its recipients, anonymity, and moderation.

Submitters Perspective, March 2001
Islam is explained as submission to God alone and deen as a complete way of life rather than a religion of rituals, in a study written by an incarcerated brother who teaches classes in prison. A Muslim is defined by devotion to God, not birth, so Jews, Christians, and others who meet the Quran's criteria are submitters. An anecdote recounts a dream of interviewing God about life's lessons.

Submitters Perspective, February 2001
Quran 4:34 is read as a law that protects women from spousal abuse, with talking, deserting in bed, and reconciliation by family letting a husband's anger subside before any beating, drawing on Dr. Rashad Khalifa's footnote that the sura defends women's rights. A parable of two brothers climbing eighty floors reflects on abandoned dreams and the ultimate goal of God's kingdom. A reader's web comment criticizes Hadith and idolizing Muhammad.

Submitters Perspective, January 2001
The Quran's many lessons: from the histories of Aad, Thamoud, Midyan, Noah, Pharaoh, Abraham, Joseph, the Children of Israel and Sheba, to the ruins left standing, death as like sleep, livestock and milk, and night and day. Lydia Kelley also draws lessons from her own life, finding peace when steadfast in the prayers and submission to God and losing it to material preoccupation.
