Submitters Perspective
December 2022
Jesus and Christianity are examined in light of the Quran: his virgin birth compared to Adam's creation, his role as a messenger rather than God or part of a Trinity, and the Quran's regard for righteous Christians and interfaith harmony. A second article traces the origins of Christmas customs, recounts a family's New Year's tradition, and retells the Quran's account of Jesus's birth in early autumn.

November 2022
A submitter describes years of depression and her recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic by turning to God as her therapist through daily Quran reading, night meditation, the contact prayers, and Quranic study groups. Further pieces report Masjid Tucson's 2022 Charity Water fundraiser for wells and reflect on gratitude, righteousness, and appreciation of God as the path to happiness.

October 2022
God's knowledge of every falling leaf, grain of sand and star, reflected on through 6:59 and the verses on the profound record, set beside the Quran's mathematical code. A report follows on the 37th annual United Submitters International conference in Tucson, with a khutba on the believers as one family. A Colorado prisoner writes about his path to submission and accepting Rashad Khalifa as the messenger of the covenant.

Submitters Perspective
September 2022
Jealousy and how to overcome it, drawing on Saul and David, the Quran's warnings that jealousy breeds sects and disbelief, and the promise that God removes it in Paradise. A second essay warns against criticizing others when no one is sinless, urging believers to examine their own souls. A closing piece reflects on God as the Truth, the Quran as proof, and life's blessings and lessons.

Submitters Perspective
August 2022
Jihad as striving rather than holy war: the struggle against the ego and evil, war only in self defense, kindness toward peaceful unbelievers, and the Quran's condemnation of terrorism, suicide, and killing innocents. An opening essay reflects on how God gives every creature what it needs, from the tiger's roar to the cat's purr, and gives humans the Quran as their means to salvation.

Submitters Perspective
July 2022
Freedom as the power to choose, set against the July 4th meaning of independence, drawing on Quranic verses where God chooses and where people choose belief or disbelief, righteousness, and the path to their Lord. A second article explains Peace as one of God's names and an inner state reached by killing the ego. Also includes the 2022 Charity Water drive for wells in Africa.

June 2022
Reflections after Ramadan on food and water as God's provisions, with world hunger and water shortage figures and a reminder that Zakat is due on the day of harvest. A second article argues the Feast of Sacrifice is an innovation, since animal offerings belong to Hajj, and that God never commanded Abraham to kill his son. Also announces the 2022 charity water campaign and the 37th annual conference in Tucson.

May 2022
God's tests and how to meet them with steadfastness and a positive mindset, drawing on Quranic examples from Abraham, Saul, and the Children of Israel and on attending Friday prayer. A second article addresses distraction in the modern attention economy, urging readers to stay mindful of the record God keeps of every deed, the weighing on the Day of Judgment, and the rewards of Paradise.

Ramadan fasting is the theme of this issue: why God decrees it, how to observe it from dawn to sunset, and the exemptions for illness and travel. Members reflect on fasting as training and purification of the soul, remembering God through thirst and the blessing of water, the Night of Destiny, and the contact prayers. A reprinted piece traces fasting to Abraham and explains why moon sighting is unnecessary.

March 2022
Imploring God as a form of worship leads the issue, gathering Quranic prayers for forgiveness, guidance, protection and worldly needs, and contrasting those who never implore with those who pray only in hardship. Two anecdotes and an essay address atheism and the call to worship God alone, followed by a sister's letter on covid and Ramadan 2022 new moon times and dates.

February 2022
God's grace and mercy, from the second chance given to humans after the great feud to the forty-year grace period, repentance, and sins transformed into credits, lead this February 2022 issue. An essay condemns sectarianism and calls believers to one congregation and one Qiblah. A freed prisoner recounts finding himself through God's mercy, and a closing selection of verses addresses God's forgiveness.

January 2022
The contact prayer is the subject of two reflections. Lydia walks through the meaning of Al-Fãtehah and the bowing, prostration, and testimony of Salat, stressing worship of God alone. Faiz gathers Quranic verses on the contact prayer as a commandment, its role in remembering God and growing the soul, and its place among the traits of believers and the prophets.
