Those of us at Masjid Tucson strive to submit to the will of God. We worship only God, the one God of all faiths, and we put our trust in Him. So we’re looking at this crisis as the test that it is: a test of our faith in God.
It’s a very difficult, anxious time, but if we know that God is in full control of all things, then we can trust that He will take care of the situation.
We don’t know when or how, but we know that He will. It is amazing to see how a tiny little virus can lay low the whole world.
We should all be turning to God, imploring Him to relieve our adversity, asking His forgiveness that we have strayed so far from His path.
When we turn to Him, He tells us in the Quran that we will have nothing to fear.
[Quran 46:13] Surely, those who say, “Our Lord is GOD,” then lead a righteous life, will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

All of us can use this opportunity to be more righteous, to help those in need.
We can be courteous to one another and supportive. We can share kindness within our families and with strangers.
But most important of all is to turn to God, recognize He is the one and only God, and implore Him in this time of uncertainty.
[Quran 11:90] “You shall implore your Lord for forgiveness, then repent to Him. My Lord is Most Merciful, Kind.”
[Quran 40:60] Your Lord says, “Implore Me, and I will respond to you.
[Quran 110:3] You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer.
So, while we practice common sense rules in hopes of bringing this under control, we know that the only true protection we have is God.
[Quran 4:132] To GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and GOD is the only Protector.
[Quran 39:66] Therefore, you shall worship GOD alone, and be appreciative.
