Submitters Perspective
December 2009
A new Submitter in Malaysia recounts her path from Christianity to worshiping God alone, from childhood answered prayers to rejecting the mention of Muhammad's name in prayer. A reader compares Tobit's counsel to his son with Luqman in the Quran. Quran verses on the traits of believers follow, along with an offer of Dr. Khalifa's English translation of the Quran for the cost of shipping.

November 2009
Gratitude to God for blessings we overlook, and knowing God through His attributes described in the Quran so we value Him as He should be valued. Letters follow from a Malaysian reader who rejected hadith after questioning a teacher, and from a new reader asking whether any ritual makes one a Submitter. A summary of the Quran's mathematical composition based on the number 19 closes the issue.

October 2009
Competing in righteousness, read from the Quran as a striving against one's own ego rather than a race to outdo fellow believers, leads this October 2009 issue. A report follows on the 24th annual conference in Sacramento, focused on appreciating God's blessings. Closing pieces define Submission as devotion to God alone, open to righteous Jews and Christians, and offer a submitter's prayer.

Happiness as a state of the soul, attained by submission to God alone and a Godcentric life, drawing on the Quran, Torah, and Gospel and weighing it against money and material success. A former Christian recounts finding the Quran, being pressed toward hadith, and later reaching submission. News reports cover the April 2009 Calgary arrest of a suspect in the 1990 Tucson murder of Dr. Rashad Khalifa.

July 2009
An essay reprinted from July 1995 tells of a found dollar that burned in the writer's pocket, urging believers to trust the clarity that comes from worshiping God alone and to leave fruitless debates behind. A longer article reads Quranic verses on mountains as stabilizers alongside plate tectonics, the carbon dioxide cycle, and Earth's magnetic field as a guarded ceiling.

Finding God through reflection on creation, scripture, and science, with Quranic verses on God's oneness, the mathematical proof based on 19, evolution within species, the Big Bang, and freedom of religion. A former Christian named Kevin recounts finding contradictions in the Bible and the Hadith and turning to the Quran alone. A notice announces the 24th annual conference in Sacramento.

Submitters Perspective
May 2009
How the parent and child bond shapes our habits and our first ideas about God, why blindly following parents is idol worship, and how to honor parents and raise children without making them idols. A second article explains lunar and solar calendars from the Quran and science, the history of calendars, the Islamic calendar, and the 300 and 309 years of verse 18:25.

April 2009
The ego is treated as a mind-altering drug, with the Quran, study meetings, the contact prayer, charity and fasting as the tools for killing it. A review of Saving Paradise reports that early Christian art never showed a dead Jesus, matching the Quran's account. Also included are an anecdote on controlling anger, the library Quran placement project, and the 24th annual conference in Sacramento.

Moral relativity is weighed against God's laws, tracing how ignoring God and the soul since Nietzsche and Freud has eroded the family and society. A Canadian convert from Catholicism describes reaching the Quran alone, and Quranic verses explain the first and second deaths of the righteous and the unrighteous. A closing piece lists whom God loves and does not love.

February 2009
Jihad as the Quran defines it, prompted by the Mumbai attacks of November 2008: striving in the cause of God against Satan and one's own inclinations, with war permitted only in self-defense and against oppression. Verses on ceasing fire when enemies seek peace, deterrence, and no compulsion in religion are cited, along with a call to read the Quran in full context. An announcement of the 24th United Submitters Annual Conference in Sacramento follows.

Submitters Perspective
January 2009
Overcrowding at Mecca during Hajj, blamed on the Saudi Government restricting the pilgrimage to a few days when the Quran allows any time in the four sacred months, and on following hadith over God's law. A reader describes finding the Quran alone amid family and marital trials, a Canadian convert seeks fellow Submitters in Ottawa, and an index lists the 2008 articles.
