“Is he whose breast Allah has opened to Islam so that he follows a light from his Lord–? So woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah! Such are in clear error.”–Holy Qur’an, Surah 39, verse 22
The origin of the White man is found in the study and science of the original man and people and in our ancient wisdom teachings. Particularly is this found in the reading of English literature derived from Old Anglo-Saxon and Germanic dialects spoken in old Britanny, Welsh and Celtic beginnings.
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us that the Caucasian people built their world on the foundation or platform of the Black man’s Knowledge and Wisdom. In everything they do is hidden a black seed or root, from their biological origins derived from the grafting of the Brown germ and its separation from the Black germ, right up to the creation of their civilization. When the Caucasian people were expelled from the Holy Land, 6,000 years ago, which is the basis of the story of Adam and Eve in your Bible and their expulsion from the Garden, everything was taken from him except the language and he was made to walk across the Arabian desert into the caves and hillsides of Europe. He walked twenty-two hundred miles.
In this statement that is given to us to study in the Supreme Wisdom Lessons is assigned to all students or new converts in the Nation of Islam. The root number 22 is contained in the language and is derived from the 22 letters of the Phoenician alphabet which has its root in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. These 22 letters form the basis of the Semitic languages, including Hebrew. The primary source of Western gutteral sounds of Germanic dialects spoken in Old Britain, Celtic and Roman Times, predominantly in the northern part of Europe from the British Isles of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales to the Danish capitol and Baltic Sea area, lies the riddle of the birth place of the English language.
Today, the English language is the foremost spoken language in the world. Our foreparents brought from Africa to the Americas and parts of the Caribbean were forced to speak a broken dialect of English and are educated in the Western European system.
The great Truths of our history are hidden in the symbolic language of the English tongue. In the study of English Literature, including British nursery rhymes, riddles and fairytales, we are able to take a peek into this hidden wisdom of the Black man’s origin and calculate the beginning and ending of his civilization.
When Master W. Fard Muhammad, the Great Mahdi and Founder of our Lost-Found nation made Himself known to the public for the first time, it was in the English speaking country of America, and he used the English language to communicate with our people rather than in the Arabic tongue or in any other foreign language. Therefore, he laid the base of our beginning education on the study and use of the English language beginning with the English alphabet and its 26 letters added to the 10 numbers of the mathematical language. These 26 letters plus 10 numbers combined equals the 36 lines of English Lesson No. C1.
What is hidden in the use of these numbers and letters? The letter “C” is the third letter of the English alphabet added to the number one gives us a mathematical equation that takes us into the present third dimension and one step beyond into the fourth dimension space time. During the past several weeks, we have studied the use of the English language as expressed and written in British nursery rhymes and riddles containing hidden truths about our own origins as well as their own.
We have reviewed this cleverly concealed knowledge and history as translated in both the Bible’s Genesis to the Book of Revelation and its ending 22 chapters. We have studied the course of Yacob’s history concealed under the name Jacob and his descendants, and have observed the subtleties of the symbolic language in hiding the truth. The study of letters and numbers is given to conceal the hidden truth as part of the Jewish and Gentile heritage often referred to as Gematria, which is taking letters used as numbers to convey underlying meaning as translated into the scriptures that is only known by their scholars.
These 22 letters are used in the Semitic tongue which is carried over into the English alphabet. Master W. Fard Muhammad used this methodology of letters and numbers to lay the base for our education today, and summed it up in our First Term Assignment of the Supreme Wisdom which ends with the assignment of English Lesson No. C1, with English Lesson No. C2, yet to come.
Study over the following nursery rhyme and see how you would interpret it according to our current study: “Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he; he called for his pipe in the middle of the night, And he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler had a fine fiddle, and a very fine fiddle had he; Oh there’s none so rare as can compare with King Cole and his fiddlers three. “
“Allah has revealed the best announcement, a Book consistent, repeating (its injunctions), whereat do shudder the skins of those who fear their Lord, then their skins and their hearts soften to Allah’s remembrance. This is Allah’s guidance — He guides with it whom He pleases. And he whom Allah leaves in error, there is no guide for him.”–Holy Qur’an, Surah 39, verse 23
