Submitters Perspective, December 2004
Blind faith has no place in Submission, argues the lead article, drawing on Quranic verses and the examples of Abraham and Moses to urge readers to use their minds, verify what they inherit, and reject false hadith. Psalm 145 follows, then letters from submitters, including a seeker who found clarity in the Quran alone after many religions and a Texas prisoner requesting the newsletter.

Submitters Perspective, November 2004
Meditation upon God at night and dawn, organized as an agenda spelling GIFT: glorify God, implore Him, seek forgiveness, and thank Him, each with Quranic verses and a note that Quranic meditation is active awareness of God, not emptying the mind. A second piece offers a strategy for an upbeat day, pairing verses from the Quran and the Bible on worship, the contact prayer, charity, and steadfastness.

Submitters Perspective, October 2004
Ramadan fasting and its purpose of salvation, with guidance on calculating the 2004 start date and the Night of Power on the 27th night. A reflection surveys food in the Quran as a lesson in gratitude to God the Provider. A report covers the 19th annual United Submitters International Conference in Tucson, August 2004, including talks on a scientific miracle in verse 16:78.

Submitters Perspective, September 2004
The lead article argues that true Islam, Submission, was hijacked long before September 11 by scholars who replaced the Quran with man-made innovations, and uses the boiling frog to urge Muslims back to the Quran. An incarcerated brother describes leaving hadith and sunnah. Articles on bees cover pollination, honeybee facts, and sex determination tied to the number 16 and Sura 16, the Bee.

Submitters Perspective, August 2004
Terrorism has no basis in religion, argues a guest opinion reprinted from The Arizona Daily Star, citing Quran 6:151 and 5:32 and defining Islam as submission to God alone, open to the righteous of every faith. Other pieces compare religious practice, the contact prayer, Zakat and fasting, to an athlete's training, and condemn dividing the religion into Sunni and Shia sects instead of studying the Quran oneself.

Submitters Perspective, July 2004
Prompted by the Iraq prison atrocities and a terrorist beheading, the lead essay draws on the Stanford and Milgram experiments and Quranic examples of oppressors to explain how humans sink to the lowliest of the lowly. It points to God's protection through steadfastness, the contact prayers, seeking refuge from the devil, and the Quran's guidance. Also included are a parable about life's priorities and a poem on gratitude.

Submitters Perspective, June 2004
Homosexuality and same-sex marriage are examined against the Old Testament, New Testament and the Quran, concluding that God prohibits both while condemning persecution of gay people and upholding freedom of religion. A woman describes resisting her own homosexual inclination as a test from God. A collection of Quran verses on God's proofs in the heavens and the earth follows.

Submitters Perspective, May 2004
The female dress code in the Quran, read through verses 24:31 and 33:59, argues that khimar means any cover, not a head cover, and that hijab comes from Sunna rather than God. A reflection on a hollow giant sequoia as a submitter to God follows, with a garden poem, John 12:44 to 50, and a notice for the 2004 United Submitters conference in Tucson.

Submitters Perspective, April 2004
Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ prompts a Quranic account of Jesus as a messenger of God who preached worship of God alone: his miraculous birth, his ministry, and his rescue from suffering, since his soul was raised before his empty body was crucified. Further pieces argue that moral principles must guide politics and invite volunteers to place Dr. Khalifa's Quran translation in public libraries.

Submitters Perspective, March 2004
Bishop John Shelby Spong's critique of Christianity opens a case for Submission as the one religion acceptable to God, reached by reading the Quran directly in a good translation. Excerpts from Dr. Khalifa's introduction address happiness and the unity of all believers devoted to God alone. A second article blames the February 2004 Hajj stampede on confining Hajj to a few days instead of the four sacred months.

Submitters Perspective, February 2004
The myth of intercession leads the issue, rejecting a hadith that Muhammad pleads for those who visit his tomb and arguing from the Quran that all intercession belongs to God and that idolizing Muhammad is idolatry. Further articles trace symmetry and equality in the Quran among messengers, believers, men and women, and show God's control over marriage, death, and the protection of believers.

Submitters Perspective, January 2004
The Key, the first sura of the Quran, recited in Arabic during the Contact Prayers, and its numerical composition, including lips touching 19 times in its recitation. A rabbi's count of nineteens in Jewish prayer and verse 46:10 support a warning against adding words such as Amen. The Key is set beside the Lord's Prayer and the Ha Patchah opening prayer as evidence that God is one and the same.
