Submitters Perspective
December 2015
Whether God has abandoned our generation, answered through the Quran's mathematical code based on 19 as a miracle meant for the computer age. Further articles link the web crawler, called an ant or spider, to suras 27 and 29, trace the Quran's consistency across its topics, styles and tones, and gather verses where the Quran describes itself, with an index of the year's articles.

Color as a gift and sign from God opens the issue: camouflage, warning, pollination, mating, nutrition, and human skin color and language, ending with a call to unity across races. Further essays weigh conscience, reasoning, and desire in telling right from wrong, using Joseph and Cain, and teach that receiving help lets others earn God's blessings too.

Studying the whole Quran guards against Satan and against the dividers who accept it only partially, and the believers are urged to unite around it. A second article contrasts God's attributes with Satan's as a path to nearness to God, stressing moderation. A member recounts a conference resort that recalled Paradise and a sudden storm that recalled the illusion of this life.

Awareness of God and of the Hereafter leads this issue, with essays on our pledge before coming to earth, the Quran as enlightenment, personal accountability without intercession, and verses showing God is never unaware of anything.

Praising God opens the issue, with reflections on Alhamdulillah, the account of King Jehoshaphat's singers from 2 Chronicles 20, and Psalm 145. An essay on modern idol worship treats worry, dependence on others, and misplaced love as subtle idols. A closing piece finds multiples of 19 linking 9:33, 61:9, and Sura 110 to God's promise that Submission will prevail.

Studying the Quran daily to increase knowledge leads the issue, with verses on its dynamic, easy to learn character and the duty to verify information. Further pieces present memorizing verses as healing for the brain, evolution as a divinely guided process within species, and keeping the gains of Ramadan, with the date of the Night of Destiny. A prisoner's letter thanks the Tucson Masjid for a Quran.

Ramadan fasting during the long, hot days of a northern summer, as a way to remember God and those less fortunate, opens this issue, followed by a call to focus the month on breaking bad habits and growing the soul. Further pieces cover purity of body and soul through ablution, avoiding backbiting, intoxicants and arrogance, God being closer than the jugular vein, and the new moon dates for Ramadan 2015.

God's testing of believers through both adversity and blessings, drawing on the trials of Abraham, Job, Solomon and other messengers, with Quranic guidance on steadfastness and the contact prayer. A second essay compares life to an open book exam for the soul, and a third reflects on hearing, eyesight and the brain as gifts from God. An announcement for the 30th annual Tucson conference follows.

The human body serves as an allegory for the soul: remembering God is its breath, the contact prayer its food, and insensitivity to pain a picture of souls that wrong themselves unaware. Further articles cover meditating on God and the science of focused attention, holding steady in submission without wavering, and April Fool's Day as a reminder of how Satan dupes humanity.

Loving God the most, timed to Valentine's Day, and how love for children, spouses, prophets or money can become idolatry, with the Quran's lists of whom God loves and does not love. A second essay presents submission as a whole way of life built on the Contact Prayers and commemoration of God. A mother recalls raising eleven adopted children on the message of God alone.

The Contact Prayers (Salat) as meals that nourish, purify, and strengthen the soul for closeness to God, why Submitters pray five times a day, and why the prayers must be devoted to God alone without mentioning any prophet. A second article offers practical ways to cultivate appreciation of God's blessings. Also included are a statement on Submission and the newsletter's history, and an index of 2014 articles.
