United Submitters International (also called the Submitters) is a reformist moderate Islamic religious community, and is a branch of Quraniyoon. It follows the teachings of Rashad Khalifa. Submission is a religion whereby one recognizes God’s absolute authority, and reaches a conviction that only God possesses all power; no other entity possesses any power that is independent of Him. The natural result of such a realization is to devote one’s life and one’s worship absolutely to God alone. This is the First Commandment common to all three scriptures: Old Testament, New Testament and Final Testament (The Quran). The original group attended a mosque in Tucson, Arizona, which was originally founded by Dr. Rashad Khalifa in the United States of America. The Submitters can now be found throughout the world. Khalifa is regarded by some in this movement as God's messenger of the Covenant, who claims to be prophesied in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Quran. The majority of Muslims consider this view as heretical. Dr. Khalifa was assassinated on January 31st 1990. On December 19, 2012, a jury found Glen Francis guilty of first-degree murder. Prior to the Francis trial, a person named 'James William' who is in the extremist group Al-Fuqra', based in Pakistan led by Sheikh Gilani was convicted of conspiracy in the slaying.〔Eric Anderson, Slain Islamic leader was outspoken; Khalifa's teachings from Tucson angered Muslims worldwide, ''Denver Post'', 21 October 1993, p21.〕 == Beliefs == * All worship should be dedicated to God alone. * No human beings should be mentioned in prayer; this constitutes shirk (idolatry). * The Qur'an is the last scripture revealed by God to man and is the only source of religious guidance for all muslims. * Islam as the world knows it today has been corrupted beyond recognition by adherence to hadith and sunnah * Rashad Khalifa was the consolidating and purifying Messenger of the Covenant prophesied in the Bible (Malachi 3:1-21, Luke 17:22-36, & Matthew 24:27) and in the Qur'an (3:81) * God put an authenticating code in all His scriptures, including the Qur'an, based on the number 19 * The number 19 represents God's signature of one God or "Wahd" in Arabic which has a numerical value of 19. Submitters describe themselves as Muslims who submit to God alone and follow Quran alone. A Submitter can be defined as a person who submits to the will of God. The state of Submission, which can only take place between the person and God Almighty, is considered to be the only acceptable form of worship by God. (3:19, 85). Therefore, Submission is not just a name of a religion; rather it describes one’s devotion to God alone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Submitters International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
