Submitters Perspective
December 2018
The 12 Steps and the Quran, in the closing article of a series that summarizes the earlier steps and relates prayer, meditation, and spreading the message of submission to God. Further articles warn against ego driven comparison with others in favor of appreciating God's blessings, and urge truthfulness through a story of a man whose promise to stop lying ends his other bad habits. Notices point to Quran and contact prayer apps.

The devil's tools for diverting people from worshiping God alone, each matched with Quranic verses: idol worship, usury, rumors, intoxicants and gambling, extravagance, blind following of parents, and fear of other than God. A reprinted article answers with the tools God gives, such as remembering God, the contact prayer, charity, fasting and seeking forgiveness. Readers compare Alcoholics Anonymous principles and the Big Book with the Quran.

Self-righteousness is examined through the final items of a self-check list: tolerance of differences, unity of all who worship God alone, admitting what we do not know, and remembering we are sinners saved only by God's mercy. A series article finds Quranic support for Steps 9 and 10 of the 12 Steps, making amends and daily personal inventory. Verses on the wind as God's sign follow.

Self-righteousness is the main subject, explored as the ego's last trick against those who embrace Submission, with Satan as the prime example and a checklist drawn from the Quran on special knowledge, labeling fellow submitters, harsh delivery, guilt, judgment, and online conduct. Letters from prisoners who received the Quran follow, along with a report on the 2018 Submitters conference in Dallas, themed on kindness and thanking God.

Appreciating God leads the issue, urging gratitude for His countless blessings, reflection on His creation, and patience in adversity, with the contact prayers, Ramadan and repentance as aids. A continuing series grounds steps 7 and 8 of the 12 steps in the Quran, drawing on Moses. Selected Psalms of David appear beside corresponding Quran verses, followed by a reader's letter.

A submitter's twelve simple points for explaining Submission to coworkers and friends, covering one God, freedom of religion, self-responsibility, dietary prohibitions, the trinity, and evolution. Further articles treat fulfilling religious and personal obligations as a covenant with God, and how reminding others to worship God alone also benefits the reminder. Notices announce the Quran app, the weekly reminder email list, and the 2018 Dallas conference.

Earth as a minimum security prison where God offers us the chance to redeem ourselves, and our duty to invite others to worship God alone with compassion, wisdom, and neutral terms like Submission. A continuing series applies steps 5 and 6 of the 12 steps to the Quran: confessing our wrongs and becoming ready to let God remove our defects. Also lists Ramadan 2018 dates and the Dallas conference.

Ramadan fasting as a path to salvation: a father's self-evaluation through sleepless days and lost patience, the pain and gain of 94:5-8 compared with Christian ideas of suffering, and fasting as self-discipline, submission and equality, with Biblical parallels. A reader recovering from compulsive overeating also links the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, idol worship and the contact prayers.

Quranic guidance for peaceful debates with disbelievers: no compulsion in religion, God alone guides, kindness in argument, and proclaiming the truth without compromise or grief. A second article opens a series examining the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous through the Quran, treating Steps 1 and 2 as admitting powerlessness over idols and trusting God alone to heal. An index of 2017 articles follows.

Quranic verses gathered by theme guide daily conduct: charity, truthfulness, honest trade, humility, patience, forgiveness, justice, honoring parents, and avoiding usury, intoxicants, slander, and division. Abraham's prayers from the Quran are presented as an example for believers, with his debates against idol worship. A New Year's reflection compares the dawn contact prayer, glorifying God Most High, to a continuous spiritual high.
