“So for the iniquity of the Jews, We forbade them the good things which had been made lawful for them, and for their hindering many (people) from Allah’s way. And for their taking usury—though indeed they were forbidden it—and their devouring the property of people falsely. And We have prepared for the disbelievers from among them a painful chastisement.”—Holy Qur’an, Surah 4, verses 160-161
Fellow readers of The Final Call newspaper, we can consider ourselves lucky and highly blessed to still be alive in this junction of our spiritual journey in America traveling with the Wise Man, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, on our way to meet with God Himself, not as an imaginary spirit but in His Reality in Person. We are profoundly blessed to have come to the 16th year anniversary of the Million Man March, which is requiring from us more than a commemorative celebration but commands us to greater action, responsibility and a heightened perception in the reconciliation in resolving our differences striving for unity and complete peace in the process internally and externally.
This 16th Anniversary of the Million Man March and the Holy Day of Atonement in the city of Philadelphia began on October 7th, marking the birthday of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad who was born in the year 1897 in the state of Georgia. This marked his 114th birthday. The present Holy Qur’an is complete with exactly 114 chapters ending the cycle of the world that we have known. As the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan divinely appointed to stand in his place in his absence is delivering The Final Call or warning to our dead nation and people in this small limit of time. His prayer is that we might still escape Allah’s Divine Chastisement in this narrow window of time. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan stated very clearly during his address in Philadelphia and this past Sunday, October 16th at Mosque Maryam, that the time of marching has ended; now we must roll up our sleeves and put on our work boots and master the rule of self and kind and community to truly master the skills and employment of doing for self and building a nation of our own on the basis of agrarian and manufacturing economy.
Do we have any objections to that approach for self-independence? We have become so dependent upon our former slave master for all our needs and wants, most of us are not motivated or conscious enough to use our own skills that we used formerly in building modern America. We should be able to organize our own labor force to build for ourselves beginning with a land-based economy where we can produce and manufacture our needs, and then sell and barter or trade the surplus to others who are in need outside of ourselves. These words spoken by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan were based upon the Divine Teachings and program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and have begun to re-circulate among us in America and throughout the world to all our poor, deprived people and nations uniting us to action once again. This is the only solution to our survival in a collapsing world economy and prosperity that was formerly only known by the rich and the famous and international corporative cartels.
Now, through the stimulating actions of many of our youth in America and in the world, the challenge to the banking and financial systems is to pull down that wall as former president Reagan was adamant in tearing down the wall of Communism that divided East and West Germany.
As we begin this process of thinking, what is the methodology that we as a people can organize to successfully survive this falling economy of the giants? According to further words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad recorded in notes delivered to the ministers of the Temples of Islam in the wilderness of North America on April 2, 1936, he stated, “No man will begin a building without the actual facts concerning its measurement, nor without square and compass and plumb line.
“This he must have to make a form to begin his building. Again, it takes a baby three months in the mother’s womb before it is formed and six months to mature, for the new world which it is expected to face. Then its mother nurses it for about two whole years and it is considered a little baby until it is three years old or thirty-six months.”
During the great public gathering on the 16th Anniversary of the Million Man March and Holy Day of Atonement, photos were taken of large cloud formations.
Within their billowing formations, the shapes of unidentified objects were visible like Watchers over our heads keeping their focus on the movement of the Honorable Minister Farrakhan and our people, keeping track of what was taking place below and tuning in on our open enemy’s plans against us. In the fourth chapter of the Holy Qur’an, we read under the sign of Jesus’ history the plans of our enemies for us today, which is being stirred up by the controversy with the Jews. It was believed that Jesus was crucified and buried in a tomb in Jerusalem followed by his alleged appearance by the women who witnessed his resurrection prior to his ascent to heaven to join God Himself.
This history studied in the past scriptures is now unfolding today in the present moment of time and verges into the future. Holy Qur’an, Surah 4:157-158 reads: “And for their saying: We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, and they killed him not, nor did they cause his death on the cross, but he was made to appear to them as such. And certainly those who differ therein are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for certain: Nay, Allah exalted him in His presence. And Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.”
These are the exact words revealed in the Holy Qur’an that I read in the Mercy Hospital in Chicago while the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was in a coma in a death-like trance. I was convinced that he survived, and is continually communicating with His greatest helper, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, as our open enemy plans their attack against him and our “baby nation” today.
“But the firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in that which has been revealed to thee and that which was revealed before thee, and those who keep up prayer and give the poor-rate and the believers in Allah and the Last Day—these it is to whom We shall give a mighty reward.”—Holy Qur’an, Surah 4, verses 162
