Submitters Perspective
December 2013
Striving in the cause of God as a daily holy war against one's own weakness, sustained through steadfastness and the contact prayer, opens this issue. Further essays show that Submission's practices began with Abraham, not Muhammad, and recount a former Christian's realization that worshiping Jesus and praying to saints is idolatry. A closing piece asks whether disputes are material to salvation, drawing on David and Solomon.

November 2013
God's warnings, likened to storm and tornado alerts, carry eternal stakes, from Solomon and the three who stayed behind to 'Ad, Thamud, and Midyan. A mathematical article links Adam's redemption in 2:37 and 7:23 to Sura Al-Fatehah through the number 19, arguing it must be recited unchanged in the contact prayer. A closing piece urges keeping thoughts positive and centered on God.

Gratitude to God in hardship anchors this issue, which draws on Solomon's prayers and repetition of the Basmalah to trust that God provides ease after difficulty. A second essay explains righteous works and the contact prayer as means to salvation, made urgent because no one knows the hour of death. A tribute thanks Submitter parents for raising a second generation devoted to God alone.

Submitters Perspective
September 2013
The role and responsibilities of men in Islam lead the issue, setting God's rules on communication, clothing, illegal prohibitions on women, divorce and gender equality in religion against cultural traditions. A second essay argues from the Quran that God is in full control rather than a distant first cause. Also a report on the 2013 Tucson conference, readers' letters, and a call to join the weekly reminder list.

Submitters Perspective
August 2013
Belonging to God leads this issue, drawing on Quran verses, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and the words of Joseph, Abraham, and Jesus. A submitter recounts overcoming fear after losing a job, another tells how God answered a prayer for contact with his wife, and a serviceman writes of being drawn to worshiping God alone. Verses on the mountains as God's signs are also included.

Submitters Perspective
July 2013
Submission as God's one religion, given to Adam and all the prophets, and the worship of God alone without idols lead this issue. Further articles show God as our advocate through the persecution of Abraham and the angels' objection to humanity, and read Sura 93 as assurance that God never abandons us between the contact prayers. Notices cover the Night of Destiny in Ramadan 2013 and the August conference in Tucson.

Submitters Perspective
June 2013
The soul's state as seen in the mirror of consciousness, with ego as the main obstacle and Salat, Zakat and striving for God as its nourishment. The issue also announces the 2013 Tucson conference with a call for submitters to treat each other kindly, recounts a community trip to a Baja orphanage, and argues that Submission is a personal way of life, not an organized religion.

Submitters Perspective
May 2013
Godly behavior as taught alike in the Bible and the Quran: freedom of choice, honesty, justice, avoiding slander and arrogance, and the duty of submitters to set the best example. A former Christian describes coming to understand Ramadan fasting as a commandment rather than cultural tradition, with 2013 Ramadan dates. A reprinted essay weighs outer beauty against righteousness.

Submitters Perspective
April 2013
The feud in the High Society, Satan's challenge to God's absolute authority, as the most important event in human history and a lesson against setting anything beside God. An answer to a prisoner explains why the contact prayer mentions God alone. Also a wildlife field trip as a glimpse of God's work, preparing the body for Ramadan by eating moderately, and the 2013 Tucson conference.

Submitters Perspective
March 2013
Islam as submission to God and Muslim as one who submits, with Abraham as the founder of the religion and the worship of God alone as the unified message across the Bible, the Quran, and the Vedas. Further pieces explain why the Quran repeats its reminders, the purpose of creation and the contact prayer, and water as a sign of God, alongside an invitation to join a weekly reminder email list.

Submitters Perspective
February 2013
Reverencing God, drawn from Quranic verses and dictionary definitions, as honoring, fearing and loving Him in worship, in obedience and in the contact prayers. Other pieces gather verses on animals as God's signs, argue through Einstein, Muir and other inventors that science and religion need each other and all knowledge comes from God, and reprint a Christian hymn. The issue announces the 2013 annual conference in Tucson.

Submitters Perspective
January 2013
Sura 110's promised triumph and why Submitters should not rush it but work on redeeming themselves, trusting that God is running everything. Tips follow for reverence during the contact prayers, including keeping the lips touching 19 times in Al-Fatehah, along with a reprinted call for people of all religions to unite under the one God, an index of 2012 articles, and a weekly reminder email list.
