Student National Secretary Sa’ad Alim Muhammad delivers powerful message
PHILADELPHIA—Nation of Islam Student National Secretary Sa’ad Alim Muhammad stood before a packed house with seats on both floors filled at Muhammad Mosque No. 12 in Philadelphia.
“He (Master Fard Muhammad), traveled from the East to the West,” he told the audience. “Think about that,” he said. “A man crossing the whole earth to reach a people who had forgotten who they were.”
Bro. Sa’ad was in Philadelphia with the Nation of Islam’s Sounds of Harmony Musical Ensemble, who performed to a sold-out audience the night before. (See The Final Call, page 7)
“For 20 years, from 1910 to 1930, Master Fard Muhammad moved in and out of North America. He studied us. He watched us. He waited. Then on July 4th, 1930, he stepped into Detroit, Michigan, and began to teach among Black people—the despised, the rejected, the descendants of slaves. People gathered in small rooms. Something in his words felt like coming home,” he said.
On September 22, 1931, a man then-named Elijah Poole, now known as the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, walked into one of those rooms. “Elijah was not an ordinary listener,” Bro. Sa’ad said. “His father was a Baptist preacher. His grandfather was a Baptist preacher. He read the Bible forward and backward,” continued.
So, when Elijah heard Master Fard Muhammad speak, He knew exactly who He was hearing. Not a scholar. Not a wise man. God in Person. From that day, Elijah Muhammad became a student—day and night.
“Master Fard Muhammad did not just teach His student,” Bro. Sa’ad explained. “He learned Him. Inside and out. Every molecule.”
And knowing His student that deeply, the Supreme Being went to work arranging circumstances —setting things in motion that looked like chance but were not. On May 11, 1933, a child of destiny was born. That child would become the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
Ezekiel 33
“God does not just speak the scriptures,” Bro. Sa’ad told the crowd. “God brings them to life. That is how you know you are looking at the Sovereign of the Universe.”
The 33rd chapter of Ezekiel has 33 verses. During his message, Bro. Sa’ad kept returning to that number. In verse 31, he said, the people come and listen but do not act. “You know how folks do. With their mouths they show much love. But their hearts pursue their own gain.” Then verse 31 describes the Son of Man as a lovely song, a pleasant voice, one who plays well on an instrument, he explained.
“We know a man like that,” Bro. Sa’ad said. “Born in 1933. His mother put a violin in his hand. A voice that moves the soul.” Allah (God) caused the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to be born in the year ‘33 to bring Ezekiel 33 to life. “That is not coincidence,” Bro. Sa’ad declared. “That is design.”
The proof
A messenger speaks for Allah (God)—and you know it because what he says comes to pass.
On July 4, 2020, Minister Farrakhan warned the presidents of African countries plainly and the people of the earth to not take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“These are treacherous people with a terrible history,” Bro. Sa’ad, who is also an attorney and author recounted. “He told all of us—do not take it.”
Teenagers began dying from heart attacks. Athletes in peak condition collapsed. Then Minister Farrakhan called out Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates. “Folks believed Fauci over the Minister,” Bro. Sa’ad said. “But watch what happened. Fauci ends up before Congress, pleading the Fifth, asking for a pardon. Why would an innocent man need a pardon?”
Prior to leaving office, former President Joseph Biden granted Dr. Fauci what was reported as a full, unconditional, and preemptive pardon that covers any federal offenses related to his official conduct and service from January 1, 2014, forward.
It was reportedly intended to protect Dr. Fauci from so-called potential politically motivated prosecutions. In a Senate hearing on July 29, Dr. Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times, declining to answer any questions
Brother Sa’ad presented even more proof and evidence to the audience on Minister Farrakhan being a Divine Warner from Almighty God Allah.
At Saviour’s Day 2024, he pointed out that Minister Farrakhan revealed that in the middle of the night he received a picture of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sitting with his war cabinet, drinks raised—toasting the lives that would be lost days later on October 7, when Hamas led an attack in 2023.
In response, Israel began and is continuing the slaughter and genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. “The Minister said it plainly in February of 2024,” Bro. Sa’ad continued. “Netanyahu already knew. He sanctioned it” (referring to the Hamas attack).
In June of 2024, the Jerusalem Post confirmed that the IDF knew about October 7 before it happened. “The Israelis themselves confirmed what Minister Farrakhan said four months earlier. How do you know you are listening to a man of God? He tells you the truth before the world catches up. Every single time,” said Bro. Sa’ad.
What the people said
After the lecture, those who attended spoke for themselves to The Final Call.
“What stood out most was how the speaker reiterated the importance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s message—and how much of what He prophesied we’re seeing come to fruition today,” said Nabab of the Nuwaupian Islamic Hebrews. “More than anything, today was about challenging the way we think. What was introduced was the courage to think differently.”
Barbara Montgomery of Collegeville kept it simple: “He told it like it was. Everything he said about the Torah and the Bible was clear, honest, and easy to understand. One word: excellent.”
Abdul Rakman of South Philadelphia said, “The way he used the Bible and the Qur’an together —walking us through the idea that God is a man—that was powerful. It’s common sense when you see it laid out that clearly.”
Sherron Muhammad of Philadelphia said, “All of it carried weight. One word? Truth.”
Michael Warren of the Willingboro Study Group added, “Watching Brother Sa’ad Muhammad use scripture to defend Point Number 12—that God is a man—showed that followers of the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad can stand firm, regardless of criticism. One word? Compelling.”
And Lameer John of North Philadelphia put it plainly: “He didn’t just make the claim. He gave logic. He gave reason. And that, I respect. One word? Moving.”
God is a man
“Now here is the heart of it,” Bro. Sa’ad said, his voice steady and sure, as he delivered the message.
From the Torah: “Let us make man in our image.” We are men and women. If we look like him, God is a man. Exodus 15:3 leaves no room to argue: “The Lord is a man of war.” Exodus 33:11 says the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, “as a man speaks to his friend.”
From the Gospel: Matthew 24:27 says the son of man will come from the East to the West. Only Master Fard Muhammad did that for us. And in John 14:9, Jesus answers Philip directly: “He who has seen me has seen the Father.” Jesus was a man—and seeing him, you saw God.
Three books. One answer.
“We don’t debate,” Bro. Sa’ad said. “We just tell you the truth and you can accept it or leave it. It is not going to change what God said.”
“From the Torah, from the Gospel, from the Holy Qur’an—the answer is the same. God is a man. He already came,” Brother Sa’ad said
