Submitters Perspective, December 2014
The traits of believers as the Quran lists them lead this issue: belief in the unseen, the contact prayers, charity in bad times, suppressing anger, remembering God frequently, and night meditation. Further pieces catalog the devil's tools with Quranic references, draw lessons in submission from water and mountains, and urge contentment amid holiday consumerism, alongside a prisoner's letter of thanks for the Final Testament.

Submitters Perspective, November 2014
Giving thanks to God is the theme of this Thanksgiving issue, which treats caring for the earth and conserving its resources as the practical form of gratitude. Other pieces reflect on the provisions of Sura 16:65 to 69 (water, milk, dates, grapes, and honey), recall a vanishing cloud seen on a morning walk, and collect Quranic verses on appreciation, with an invitation to join a weekly email reminder list.

Submitters Perspective, October 2014
Charity and the obligatory Zakat as the Quran presents them: who should receive it, giving from what we value, privately and without insult, and moderation in giving from the excess. A second article asks how submitters can grow righteous traits such as patience and honesty with God's help, and a former Orthodox Christian describes the change becoming a submitter brought to her life.

Submitters Perspective, September 2014
Steadfastness in tests leads this issue, with Quranic examples of tested prophets and steps for submitting to God through hardship. Further pieces compare a life distracted from God to a derailed train and draw business practices such as planning, honesty, and respect from the Quran. It closes with a report on the 29th annual United Submitters International conference in Reston, Virginia.

Submitters Perspective, August 2014
God as the only Protector of the earth, drawn from a Time magazine article on asteroid tracking, the undetected 2013 meteor over Chelyabinsk, the Titanic, and the Challenger explosion. Further articles treat jealousy as a disease that becomes an idol beside God, God's fairness in unequal provision, and why God is worthy of faith when life makes no sense.

Submitters Perspective, July 2014
God as the light of the heavens and the earth, drawn from a reading of verse 24:35, opens this issue, followed by reflections on submission as strict monotheism and devotion of every moment to God alone. Other pieces weigh the soul against the body on the Day of Judgment, offer a recipe for a happy Submitter, and gather verses on light, with notices on Ramadan 2014 and the Washington DC conference.

Submitters Perspective, June 2014
Honesty as a trait of the righteous leads this issue, with guidance on avoiding white lies and speaking truth without cruelty, drawing on sura 109 and 2:177. Further pieces reflect on Arizona forest fires that killed 19 firefighters as a reminder of Hell, gratitude to God for rain, wind, sun and plants, and the Quran's definition of the greatest triumph as Paradise and closeness to God.

Submitters Perspective, May 2014
The conduct expected of a Submitter, drawn from the Quran: devotion to God alone, family duties, charity, humility, honesty in trade, and fairness as a witness.

A closing piece urges praying for all believers and offering the greeting of peace to everyone.

Submitters Perspective, April 2014
How God builds faith by testing it through difficulties, commands, money and delays, with lessons to rejoice, obey, give and wait patiently. Also covers coping with the death of a loved one, since only God controls life and death, and continues a series on scientific marvels in the Quran: the barrier between seas, life from water, and plants created in pairs.

Submitters Perspective, March 2014
Submission as the path to world peace leads the issue, arguing that following God's laws from the scripture alone, not Hadith and Sunna, forbids killing in God's name. Part 2 of Marvels of God links Quran verses to atoms, fingerprints, embryology and pain receptors. A prisoner's letter appears with Dr. Khalifa's 1985 reprint on incarceration as a blessing, plus a poem on kindness and notice of the 2014 Washington DC conference.

Submitters Perspective, February 2014
Knowledge as a gift from God, from Adam learning the names to the command to read, with the Quran urging people to verify information, observe nature, and reflect. A second article, the first of a series, presents marvels in the Quran on astronomy, the egg shape of the earth, the water cycle, and its literary challenge. An announcement gives the 29th annual United Submitters conference near Washington DC.

Submitters Perspective, January 2014
A verse by verse reflection on Sura 1, The Key, asks who God is and why we should glorify Him and seek His guidance, drawing on His mercy, sovereignty, judgment and answered prayers of Job and Zachariah. A second article likens removing toxic souls from Heaven to removing toxic people from life, with the Contact Prayers as detox. An index of 2013 articles and a weekly reminder invitation follow.
