HOW TO EAT TO LIVE—there are many of my little Black Brothers who are hungry for offers and for leadership and they commercialize on what you find me writing. They take my writings and put it into other aspects and add in, and out of it, and offer it up, for a sale price, because he does not want to do something for self. He wants to take everything that he can and commercialize on it. He is a thief and a robber under the disguise of putting out the teachings of the Messenger. You know my way of putting the teachings out. If I charge for some literature it is because I want to get back what we put into it and put the profit to work to build a nation. But, you are selfish and this is why I do not give you any credit.
TAKE this that I give to the people directly, and do not add to it to try and make money. Allah (God) Has Already Promised you Money but do not try to make money out of His Word. There are people now who are trying to put some of their work, copied from my work, and with their own no-good additions to it.
LEAVE MY teachings as it is. No wonder the Jesus had to run the money-changers out of the Synagogue. They who were turning it into a marketplace to sell their produces of this and that. You are doing the same.
