We are into one of the crucial areas of this book—Closing The Gap. The word “crucial” means “vital to the outcome of something.” To me all of the answers the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan gave in this book are “crucial.”

From Closing The Gap, pages 124-127, with inserts.

Brother Jabril: Brother Minister, about a week and a half ago I showed you the chapter, titled, Minister Farrakhan’s Magnificent Answer out of the little book, Is It Possible That The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Is Still Physically Alive???”

You were somewhat amazed over your own words in it. There have been many instances where you looked back at words that you have spoken to me, in interviews, such as this interview, and in your speeches, etc., with utter and genuine surprise. Please comment.

Minister Farrakhan: I was with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad one day and they were playing a tape of him speaking. He made a point and he applauded. He was excited and he said, “Boy, Allah really gave me something there.”

Well I’m like that too. You give me a question, I give you an answer, but the answer comes as inspiration. Then if I’m blessed to be able to read what I said, sometimes I ask the question, ‘Did I say that?’ Well I didn’t say it. He said it through me, but now I’m fascinated and often overwhelmed by what came out of my mouth.

It just drops me almost to the floor in humility, to know that God would use me in this way to glorify Him and His servant, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and to help our people, and the people of the earth, out of the condition that 6,000 years of Satanic rule has put humanity under. I am awed and overwhelmed that Allah saw fit to use me in such a magnificent way. You are right.

To see the end of your faith, meaning to see the flourishing of what your faith has shown you. Although I may not live necessarily to see all of it because there’s so much that the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad causes one to see, but at least, to get a glimpse into the Hereafter would be a tremendous blessing.

Brother Jabril: Well honestly I feel, you are going to get more than a glimpse. I earnestly believe that. Of course, many might say, “Well, that’s just you talking, Jabril.” But I believe that. I want that for you, my Brother—and all of us.

Minister Farrakhan: For all the Believers.

Brother Jabril: Right!

I began to ponder over the unique power of speech that Allah blessed Minister Farrakhan with (and us through him) early, while I was still in the hospital, last year February (2007). Then, during the first few weeks, I was hardly able to speak clearly. I could not write one word of anything. But Allah blessed me to be able to think and to observe—not to moan. I was in school.

I do not intend to spend your precious time writing about the condition (aphasia) that Allah is blessing me to overcome. I intend to share this elsewhere, Allah willing. I’ve been writing in this column from the time the newspaper was published up to right now. Its purpose was and is to bear witness to the truth of the person, teachings and the mission of Minister Farrakhan and his relation to his teacher and to Almighty God Allah.

I had an experience that provided me with an a little more insight into what I already know, while I was yet still in the hospital last February. I intend to continue this by the help of Allah, in the next few articles.

Jabril Muhammad: What is the key in the interpretation of anything, especially in what you intend to do in the Beethoven violin concerto on February the 13th in Los Angeles?

Minister Farrakhan: In order to properly interpret anything that has been said or done by another, one has to be in harmony with the mind and the spirit of the one whom he or she desires to interpret.

People that wish to interpret the word of God cannot do so properly without His permission. That person must be in tune with the mind and the spirit of God, as He revealed His word, in order for one to properly interpret that word.

Every mind of greatness is from God. Every person of greatness in any field, who becomes a standard of measurement of proficiency in that field, must be studied, not from the mind of envy; not from the mind of jealousy; not even from the mind of self-aggrandizement.

For example, to study a prophet, whose heart was so humble that he could receive revelation from God, and in order for you to even approach the meaning of that revelation of that prophet, you would have to be in the same spirit of humility of the one who received God’s word, for God to open that revelation up to you. Based upon your capacity to grasp, God gives you.

In upcoming articles, are such questions as, how he (Minister Farrakhan) uses adversity in his life to advance the cause of Allah. He also insightfully answered several other questions, including the divine purpose and place of chaos in the overall divine plan for our perfection and the fundamental spiritual scales, which must be removed from our eyes, if we are to make the progress we can to fulfill the purpose of Allah for our lives.

Meanwhile, study these words of Mother Tynnetta Muhammad’s article, Volume 21 No. 21, part of which reads:

“The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan outlined ‘Eight Steps of the Atonement Process’ while delivering to us, and the world, the Redemptive Message that was intended to put us on the road to a high civilization as he addressed nearly two million men gathered for the Million Man March in Washington, D.C., on October 16, 1995.

“It is due to this continual disrespect of the Principles of the Brotherhood to Practice Unconditional Love among us that is leading to distrust, immorality and a decline in our success as a people that is separating us into groups to be judged by God. This lack of discipline in our lives is also separating many from the bright light and example of the Honorable Minister Farrakhan while we are being grouped into ranks, some of whom are revealing themselves as uncongenial company.

“The Prophet was not made totally aware of the mischief-makers and their various machinations; only Allah and His Angels were given charge over them. Those who read these words may take note of their actions and better recognize who they are. Such uncongenial company will soon be removed from among the Believers by Allah, God, Himself, Who is sifting and testing us through trials and tribulation, as the Most Perfect Judge.

“Being guided by Allah’s Spirit, I will only say, All Praise is due to Allah for His Presence and Saving Grace. Without His Abundant Mercy and Forgiveness, none would escape the Divine Chastisement of Allah. The Holy Qur’an reveals in Surah 8 that the threatened punishment would not come while the Servant of God was still in our midst; but once he was removed, the executioners would come. This is a True Prophetic Picture of our present condition today.”

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has stated that, “Disagreement is like a lighted fuse.” He also said that “agreement is the basis of love.” Believers should be 100 percent in agreement with Minister Farrakhan’s study guide 13, that he is asking us to study.

More next issue, Allah willing.

The post Understanding how God uses vessels for His purpose appeared first on Final Call News.

I’m making this clearer than ever. I’m not saying that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is Daniel. No! I’m saying to study this deeper than ever.

In the Bible, we read in the book of Daniel; “it shall come a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time.”

We are living in that time.

It says in the Bible that at that time, this great prince Michael shall stand up. And Michael is also referred to as the one in the book of Jude who contended with Satan, over the body of Moses.

Contended with Satan, over the body, is the argument over whether or not the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is alive or dead.

The above is 100% true–not that I’m so wise, but this comes from the wisdom of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who met the Supreme Being, Master Fard Muhammad–both of whom backs up Minister Farrakhan.

All of this is to lead to Minister Farrakhan–who sums up the wisdom, out of which he “operates”–from the wisdom of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has been healed and is now wearing his crown of glory and seated at the right hand of the wisest, most loving and powerful being Who has and Who will ever live: Master Fard Muhammad.

His Teacher has given to him that book which contains the wisdom and the guidance for the next world.

In the last book of the Bible, called Revelation, we read of Their meeting and of a city called New Jerusalem, which is seen coming down from heaven. This is to say that those in that heavenly state are working on and have an ongoing connection to those on earth–where we are!

From where he is, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is working through and guiding his servant, Minister Farrakhan. He is doing so with wisdom which exceeds any definition of wisdom which this world can imagine.

Through Minister Farrakhan he is making clear the right road or the straight path in which we all must walk.

His–Minister Farrakhan’s–service to us is of the greatest, the highest value. This involves everybody, both Black and White and also the most powerful Jews in America.

I will give the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad which tells us of his value, next article Allah willing! I’ve wrote of this several times in articles and books.

In the Bible you can read this. But read it carefully:

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and the back side, sealed with seven seals.

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ‘Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof.’

“And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

“And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, ‘Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.’

“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

“And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.” Revelation chapter 5:1-6

Thirty months after the departure of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in 1977 Minister Farrakhan arose–right on the divine schedule, mentioned in the scriptures.

Eight years later he was taken to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in a powerful vision and heard his teacher’s voice–the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I’ve made my view of his experience public, several times.

His teacher told him, among other things, that after he did one more thing he would then see him in person.

It is clear from these words that he had passed the test of faithfulness–in the eyes of his teacher–even at that time. And much has happened since then, that marks this illustrious Minister Farrakhan.

He is on his way to receiving the new teachings from his teacher. Allah willing.

We cannot know the above or see the above, in this article, without knowing and learning the truth from our hearts. Does this involve envy and the worse kind of jealousy?

In creation of the universe, the very basis of evil that was not removed in the beginning, but where there was a very, very, very, hint of it, is now being removed forever. Now is the time, this “forever” that’s about to come in, and, will be just that, “forever.”

How do I know? This comes from the wisdom of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad who met The Supreme Being.

We cannot know this or study this, without a very, very deep respect for Minister Farrakhan. We cannot even know the Honorable Elijah Muhammad without knowing him–Minister Farrakhan and his words, which have been made public over the world, for many years for His purpose!

More next issue, Allah willing.

The post Guidance through the prophesied ‘time of trouble’ appeared first on Final Call News.

The Holy Qur’an teaches: “And they say: Obedience. But when they go out from thy presence, a party of them plan by night doing otherwise than what thou sayest. And Allah writes down what they plan by night, so turn aside from them and trust in Allah. And Allah is sufficient as having charge of affairs.” (4:81)

***

Part of the first question I asked the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for the book entitled, “Closing The Gap,” was: “Brother Minister, this first question concerns a universal phenomenon which affects the relationship between a leader and his staff and followers–divine leaders in particular.

“From time to time, gaps develop as the leader moves ahead and the followers work to keep pace… Please comment.”

The first part of his remarkable and profound answer was:

“The first thing that I shall do is analyze why gaps appear between leaders of consequence–particular Divine Leaders–and their followers at given times in the growth and development of them in their mission.      

“Whenever a leader is chosen by Allah (God), he is chosen oft-times thousands of years before he comes to birth. He is formed in his mother’s womb under certain circumstances, which makes him for the specific job he is to do, by equipping him with the basic material at birth.

“As he comes into the knowledge of his assignment or mission, the next greatest need for him is to find the adequate and proper help to fulfill the mission that Allah (God) has given him. This is where the problem begins.

“First, he has to grow to understand his mission. In the course of his growth, persons come to help him at every stage of his evolution. As people do not always evolve with the leader, some fall off when the leader is in the seminal stage. Some fall off when the leader is a clot. Some fall off when the leader is embryonic. Some fall off when the leader is in the fetus stage, and some fall off when the leader is a child in understanding. Some others fall off as he begins to mature.

“There are those who think they fully know him and his teachings when they became acquainted with him in the clot stage. However, such people lose sight of him as he evolves and they go out, thinking they fully know him and his teachings. They teach what they know, but a gap develops and widens between them and the leader as he goes through the clot stage; the embryonic stage; the fetus stage; the child stage; and finally becomes the mature man.

“What can prevent this? His help has to evolve with him. All of his help may not necessarily have been formed under the unique circumstances that led to his evolutionary development from before he was actually in physical form, even while that which produced him was being formed. So, now he comes into the world constitutionally fit for his mission, but his helpers may or may not have that base, that brilliance, that insight, that foresight which comes from being Divinely Prepared.

“So his helpers, at best, come according to their own understanding of this man, his mission and his teachings at the moment in time when they first encounter him. But as he continues to grow and evolve, change and mature, perhaps they will not see him in the same way in the next phase of his development as they saw him in the stage when they first came to help him.  Why? Because he sufficed a particular need that was very personal and individual for them. When that need is met, they claim him as their leader. As he evolves more and more, if they do not grow with him, a gap develops,

“Therefore, Allah (God) gives His servants helpers from Himself. That help is the best help because these persons grow along the same lines [the servant] grew. They are formed in the same way he is formed; their hearts are formed in the same way his heart is formed. Therefore, these helpers see into this man what other helpers may not see, because the latter were not made from Allah (God) to be his helper in the same way or degree as the former.

“However, they (the latter) accept the role of a helper. Nevertheless, if they don’t stay in constant submission, in constant obedience, in constant study, and in constant growth, then gaps will develop between the teacher and the student that will lead the student (sometimes) to be critical of the teacher when the teacher grows beyond the particular need of that helper that motivated that helper to first want to help. That is the way I would answer that question.”

***

The above ends the first part of his answer.

Now, just how important is Minister Farrakhan’s answer, not just to my question, but to our salvation?

Let’s start with the following excerpt from the Introduction of “Closing The Gap.” It reads: “A few days ago, when the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan saw a draft of this work, he immediately said to me that he wanted to give it away to the Believers as a Saviours’ Day Gift. He hoped that I would have been able to include my commentary in this volume. However, there was simply not enough time. It is my intention, however, to present that fuller volume as soon as I am able, and for the same reason.”

What follows, of course, is not that larger volume with my commentary. However, I would like to make some comments now, especially because of the hour.

This is the 3rd of January. Generally speaking–except for certain wise moves just made by Minister Farrakhan–this year is starting off as last year ended.

Is this overdoing it? No, as we’ll see next article, Allah willing.

Will this year continue as it started?

One morning over coffee in Chicago, Illinois, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told me a significant truth, which I’m sure he shared with some others. A part of it was that too many of us followed him as the symbolic Moses followed the Wise Man, according to the Holy Qur’an. This tendency or inclination in us continues today in the way we follow Minister Farrakhan.

Minister Farrakhan sees his teacher as far, far above him in wisdom. However, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad did say at his dinner table that he would provide us with one closer to our condition. He definitely had Minister Farrakhan in mind, who is steeped in his wisdom–divine wisdom.

I strongly suggest that we read Surah 18 of the Holy Qur’an, sections 9 and 10, or verses 60-82 as that’s where we are going, Allah willing.

Based on the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, especially with reference to him and Minister Farrakhan, we will find that, when we read this wonderful wisdom in this wonderful book, we are reading about ourselves.

May Allah bless us all.

More of the wisdom of his answer, next issue, Allah willing.

The post Growing with Divine Leaders appeared first on Final Call News.

I was taken to the hospital on February 18, 2007. Without details, my condition was/is called “conduction aphasia,” medically speaking. That has caused me to think more deeper than ever on my witness of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and his relation to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. That experience caused me to see deeper and appreciate more than ever, his power of speech.

The word “profound” is not deep enough, or wide enough, to express his overall value adequately to humanity. I’m not exaggerating. (More on this word, “exaggeration, its evil use and its righteous use.”)

Minister Farrakhan had an experience that was extraordinary and had an impact on the world, and it continues to impact the world, even though most people on the planet do not know of it right now. I want the readers, to be acquainted with what I call his, “more than a vision” experience he had on September 17, 1985, while in Mexico.

He first told it to his wife Mother Khadijah and Mother Tynnetta Muhammad. A few days later when he saw me in Phoenix, Arizona, he told it to me. It had a powerful impact on me when he first told me what he told me of his experience. I wanted others to learn of his experience and under what circumstances he had it.

Years later due to that event, I decided to write a book that included a chapter on his experience. That book included words from Mother Tynnetta Muhammad of his experience. I asked Mother Tynnetta Muhammad, wife of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, to give me a statement of her first reaction to his experience.

So, I asked her in 1991: “Please tell me when and where Minister Farrakhan first spoke to you of his, what I call his “more than a vision,” which he experienced back on September 17, 1985.”

“On the morning of September 19, 1985, immediately within hours of Mexico City’s worst earthquake, which occurred at 7:19 a.m. in the morning, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and his wife Mother Khadijah, left the hotel where they were staying in Tepoztlan and traveled to Cuernavaca to the home of Mother Tynnetta Muhammad.

“As they came up the steps into the kitchen area, Minister Farrakhan reached the top step and when turning into the kitchen, he suddenly recalled that he was taken up into the Mother Plane. As he entered the door, he began to share the experience that he had two days earlier on September the 17th.

“He appeared a little dazed as he sat down at the kitchen table. He spoke about climbing the sacred mountain called Tepozteco Mountain at the top of which is a small pyramid dedicated to the former king of Tepozteco. These histories of the Indigenous People of Mexico all ultimately lead to unveiling parts of the history of the great folk hero of all of Meso America known as Quetzalcoatl.

“The Minister began to describe that he was climbing the mountain, with a few companions, when suddenly an unidentified flying object (UFO) appeared upward at the side of the mountain where the pyramid is located. He then described that three metal legs appeared from the bottom of the wheel like plane. He said he heard a voice telling him. ‘Not them; just you.’ And that he was told to relax. He said a light came from the ship and he was carried up on a beam of light into it.

“He said that when inside this spacecraft that he never saw the face of the pilot or heard words from him. It moved away from the side of the mountain at a terrific speed. He said that he knew he was being transported to the Mother Wheel and that the pilot knew he was frightened of seeing such a great ship (the Mother Wheel). The pilot maneuvered his craft in a way that he did not see the Mother Wheel and backed into it in a tunnel.

“Minister Farrakhan went on to say that the pilot escorted him to a room. In the ceiling was a speaker. Then he said he heard the voice of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad clearly speaking to him.

“He said that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad began speaking to him and as he did, a scroll rolled down in front of him.

“He said the Honorable Elijah Muhammad began to reveal to him information about a war being planned by the president and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said the Honorable Elijah Muhammad wanted him to deliver this message at a press conference in Washington, D.C. and to reveal their plans and to tell them that he got this information from Elijah Muhammad on the Wheel. He told him that he had one more thing to do and that when he did that one more thing he would be permitted to come to the Wheel and see him face to face.

“I remember that I experienced with great excitement, enthusiasm and palpitation of my heart and I said to him, Brother Minister, do you realize what you’re saying? And he responded by asking me what did I see in this experience? I was so overwhelmed in my response that I could only think, my God; he literally had met with my husband. He has begun to communicate with him in his journey much like Ezekiel being taken up on a Wheel within a Wheel.

“As I began to piece this experience together, in later days, I recalled the scriptures from both Bible and Holy Qur’an that mentioned Moses’ mystical experience in the mountain, where he left the children of Israel below and at that particular time, there were only a few elders or companions who were able to be present at the foot of the mountain.

“In the experience, the tablets were revealed and Moses was not able to see the face of his Lord, but was only able to see, according to the Bible, his hinder parts, his back parts, as he went by him. And again, in each instance of his highly mystical contact with God, there was a great earthquake.”

“Thank you, Mother Tynnetta Muhammad.”

A few days later Minister Farrakhan came to Phoenix, Arizona, with Mother Khadijah and Mother Tynnetta Muhammad. That’s when he told me of his electrifying experience. I’m going to share my first reaction to that experience next article, Allah willing.Years after his experience I wrote a first draft of a 25,000 word commentary on the veracity, significance and power of his experience. That was a chapter I wrote for a book. I wrote that first draft back in 1991.

While I was in the hospital about, or right after, February 18 for some weeks during March 2007, some of that material from that first draft, was sent to and printed in The Final Call. I’m grateful for that.

I’ve thanked Sister Traci (now of Phoenix) who sent some of my words to The Final Call to be printed for the public. Brother Jesse Muhammad, (of Muhammad Mosque #45) helped her with my words during that time. I was not able to keep up my articles during that time. I’m grateful for what they did.

That helped me to bear witness to Minister Farrakhan’s experience that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is very much ALIVE.

More next issue, Allah willing.

The post The impact of Minister Farrakhan’s ‘More Than A Vision’ experience appeared first on Final Call News.

This article won’t appear until March 6, Allah willing, as it’s being written on Tuesday, February 21.

So much is happening so fast throughout America and the world that quickly brings to mind this, that or the other prophesy written of these days that has either been fulfilled, is being fulfilled, or is about to be fulfilled, that it’s hard to comment comprehensively within the space of a short article.

Fundamental to the correct understanding of everything that is taking place is the following fact. Starting in 1931, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad met and was being taught by Allah in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad. People saw and heard Him, and formed ideas of Him, but did not recognize that He was in fact The One of Whom all of the prophets prophesized to come had arrived.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that He taught him, in Person, for three years and four months–from September 1931 onwards. This education included a thorough understanding of the Bible and Holy Qur’an.

When most think of the Old Testament, New Testament and Holy Qur’an, they think of Jews, Christians and Muslims respectively. The power of the truth that was revealed to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is in the process of forcing the world to come to a new understanding of the scriptures.

Allah revealed to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that the history in these scriptures of these three groups of people ultimately refers to Original people here in America and in this time period.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was taught by One Who went under the name (at first) of “W.D. Fard,” later adding “Muhammad” in 1933, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said He did. That was the same year He also gave him the name “Muhammad,” replacing the name “Karriem” (that He had given him earlier) with which He replaced his slave name.

Certainly, I did not hear or read everything the Honorable Elijah Muhammad spoke or wrote of the truth he was taught. But I bear witness to the truth of what he taught–even to that which I did not hear him say or write. Please expect an explanation soon.

I heard him say that his Teacher taught him that He used the name “Wallace” signifying “friend” and that He had befriended us, “the rejected and despised” of all people; that He had befriended us, a friendless people; and that He had befriended us to give us friendship with the righteous the world over.

I heard him say that he did not know what the “D” meant, but that does not mean that he didn’t later learn its meaning and mentioned it to others.

One of the reasons He used the name “Fard” was to declare that He was self-independent and He has come to make us, who were the most dependent people, especially on our open enemy, the most independent nation that ever lived.

One of the meanings of His use of the name “Muhammad” was that He was the “Praised One” Who was worthy of praise and that He had come to make us the praised of the nations.

There’s a little more that I did learn that I won’t mention here. Moreover, I am sure the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan (and others) learned what I did and more. In any case, this is clear: Two powerful signs of the truth and the power of His names can easily be seen in the rise to imminence of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and now Minister Farrakhan.

Like Moses, according to the scriptures, who sought from God a special helper, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad sought from his Teacher a special helper to help him with what his Teacher informed him was the hardest job the Almighty ever gave to any man who ever lived.

From the ’30s onward, he continued to be on the lookout for signs from his Teacher of the identity of this special helper. In his February 1954 Saviour’s Day speech he declared:

“Since you and me are witnesses here this afternoon in this world that we live, we have been so greatly misunderstood that I desire that Allah send to me a little helper; for 22 years I have worked hard wherever I was or may be to try to get into your ears and into your hearts the truth that Allah has revealed to me.”

The next year, on February 26, 1955–the year that marked the fulfillment of the 400-year prophesy that we were to serve our enemies (Genesis 15)–the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was divinely given that sign. He recognized that special helper who was sitting in the audience and at once gave him the essence of his assignment.

That special helper, of course, is Minister Farrakhan. He would have to be that special helper to share with his teacher the hardest job God ever gave to any man!

#598 “To blame a man of God for our misfortunes is doubly unjust. For he comes to save us from misfortune, and it is because we flout him or pay no heed to him, that our own rebellion brings its own punishment. If we realize this truth we shall be saved from two sins: (1) the sin of injustice to God’s Messengers, who come for our good, and not for our harm; (2) the sin of not realizing our own shortcomings or rebellion, and thus living in spiritual darkness. If the Message is from God, that carries its own authority: ‘enough is God for a witness.’ ”

#599 “The Apostle was sent to preach, guide, instruct, and show the Way, not to drive people to good, or to detect all that was evil. That is not God’s Plan, which trains the human Will. The Apostle’s duty is therefore to convey the Message of God, in all the ways of persuasion that are open to him. If men perversely disobey the Message, they are not disobeying him, but they are disobeying God. In the same way those who obey the Message are obeying God. They are not obliging the Messenger: they are merely doing their duty.”

#600 “If we trust … people who are not true, they are more likely to hinder than to help. But God is All-good as well as All-powerful, and all our affairs are best entrusted to His care. His is the best Guardian of all interests.

“Therefore we should not trust the lip professions of Hypocrites, but trust in God. Nor should our confidence in God be shaken by any secret plots that enemies hatch against us. We should take all human precautions against them, but having done so, we should put our trust in God, Who knows the inner working of events better than any human mind can conceive.”

More on these notes–in relation to Moses and the Wise Man–in Yusuf Ali’s translation of the Holy Qur’an, as they apply to Minister Farrakhan as well as his teacher, next issue, Allah willing.

The post He came to establish an independent nation worthy of praise appeared first on Final Call News.

A few articles ago I wrote: “Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking deeply over where we’re at in the divine scheme of things. Also, I’ve been thinking deeply over what we’re about to enter real soon as it pertains to the end of one world and the beginning of another world.”

Most Christian theologians teach that Jesus rose from death, went up into the sky, and now sits on the right-hand side of God. They also teach that he will one day return, with angels, to complete the work he started 2,000 years ago.

Again, they teach that Jesus’ followers suffered, in his absence, to complete the process of qualifying them to enter the government or kingdom of God. They say that this kingdom is to be set up soon on earth when Jesus returns. We don’t doubt that God’s government will be set up soon on this planet. In fact, we are working hard to qualify ourselves, and our people to get into it under the guidance of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. But we do not agree with the white man’s teachings about Jesus.

For example, we learned from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad what Jesus thought of himself while he lived. What he thought of himself does not agree with what white people teach about Jesus. In fact, we now know from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that white people cannot verify their teachings of Jesus. Now we know that many things we were made to think took place 2,000 years ago are taking place in this generation even as I write these words.

The final aspect of that doom is just about upon us. The power of the white race is nearly destroyed. This situation is directly related to the fact that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan must leave for awhile, “… he will NOT have gone to death. He WILL have gone to the Christ–the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Not long after, he WILL return. We will suffer a little more than we have, while he is gone. This is part of the process of qualifying a people for God’s government, which is to be more fully set up hereafter the fall of this world.”

We pray to Him to be found worthy to enter it. We also hope the same for our people, though most of them have not accepted the chief means to enter. The chief means is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. They will. Soon. As the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that the word of God, through His Messenger, is not enough to give full life to the “bones” (Black people of America). Something extra is needed. Foreseeing this, the Bible writers wrote that God would have to whip His people. This is happening right now.

This involves the breaking of the power of the slavemaster, on whom His people depend, as they should depend on Him. The complete fall of this world and the chastisement will come as a shock. This is because the vast majority refuse to take the advice of Minister Farrakhan. Therefore, they are not prepared for what is upon us all. It should be remembered that this divine whipping is no more than the just–and even merciful–consequences of the rejection of Allah, His Messenger and the truth. It will be terrible. However, the ultimate effect will be to bring Black people to their senses. Then, they will realize that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us the full truth of people and things. Then, they will accept him. They will also accept themselves for what they are–Muslims. As it is written all the dead will rise.

During this time, the hypocrites will be sifted from the ranks of the Believers. They simply won’t stand up under the final trials of the Believers. In various ways, they will be manifested. Then God will punish the hypocrites severely. During the Honorable Minister Farrakhan’s absence–and on his return–the power of the white race will be completely broken, up to a point. Some of them will live through the destruction of their world and the resurrection of the Black nation. This is in the Bible. Wise whites know why some of them will be saved from the fire.

Clearly, this is a serious time. It is written that this would be a time of trouble such as never was; nor will such time ever come again. These are times of the greatest confusion, fear, anger, despair, and deceit. It is also the time of the greatest display of God’s powers.

The hope that results from a clear vision of a good future can be found in but a few people. In them is the light of the understanding of the truth. The origin of this light is Allah, the Supreme Being. He has filled the Christ–the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, with His light. His Christ and our Christ, therefore, is the light of the world. As long as He is in the world He is its light. Those who accept this have this light in themselves. The rejecters remain in the dark.

Physical light enables our physical eyes to see physical realities. Spiritual truths give power to our spiritual (mental) eyes to see spiritual realities. If we shut our eyes to physical light, we can see nothing. Though light be all around us, we remain in the dark. Likewise, if we shut our minds to truth, we can know nothing. In ignorance we remain, though truth be all around us.

Light is one of the elements in the message of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad now through the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. This light grants a clear view of reality up to the time when Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, ushers in that which no eyes have seen, or ears have heard. He will do this through His Apostle. That blessing is prepared for His own.

This thought should correspond to the times in which we live; as these are the most critical times man has ever faced. We are witnesses of the greatest change in the history of man’s existence. At the root of this change is the Christ–the Honorable Elijah Muhammad working through the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. He says that we are living in a time of complete change. The world we are in is on its way out, and a new one is on its way in. Everyone will be forced to make a change, since a total change is being forced on all.

Of course, the biggest factor involves the activity of the Almighty God, Allah Himself. This teaching includes the truth of Jesus, which clears away for all time the mystery and confusion in the minds of people about him. The truth about Jesus is vital to an understanding of the earth-shaking events of today.

The post Qualifying and preparing ourselves for God’s government and a new world appeared first on Final Call News.

When the public reads the front cover of The Final Call, (Vol. 28 No. 3) published by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, the headline states, “A NEW BEGINNING–Minister Louis Farrakhan announces expanded mission for Nation of Islam.”

This is happening in the Nation of Islam, in the heartland of America–Chicago–in the midst of universal chaos.

On page 133 of Closing The Gap there is a section that contains the words of Minister Farrakhan: “The above explains why ‘we must go through much tribulation to enter into the kingdom of God.’ (Acts 14:22)

“What we are experiencing now is the chaotic disorder of the breaking down of a world that will give birth to the order of a new world. So this chaos is absolutely and vitally necessary to create the motion toward order.”

The book of Acts reads that Jesus said of Paul “… for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: for I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

“… in the last days perilous times shall come.” (2 Timothy 3:1)

A few years ago, I wrote an article containing these words: “The worst kind of trouble arises from slander. Surah 114 urges us to seek refuge in Allah from the whispering of the slinking devil, who whispers, not into the ear, or the head, but into the very hearts of people.”

“Let us keep this in mind and never forget it: Minister Farrakhan has said that his teacher taught him that if we repeat a slander three times we become a part of it. At that point we are in the greatest need of Allah to help us get out of that kind of mess. We can get so deep in the grip of this evil that we cannot get ourselves out of it without help that is greater than its grip.”

Two nights just before Saviours Day 1971, in the home of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he said something that I want to quote here that pertains to a powerful principle that Minister Farrakhan had taught from his teacher.

The event that occurred just two days (or nights) before Saviours Day. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was speaking to a little over 85 of his Laborers, one of whom he was addressing directly.

In an article I wrote on August 13, 1996 (Volume 15; No 29) of The Final Call I quoted the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s words:

“Whenever you accuse an innocent man of that which he didn’t do, the heavens and the earth cry out for justice for the innocent man. And the punishment he would have received, if he was guilty, falls upon the head of the accuser.” Then I wrote that, “There was total silence in the room.

“The Honorable Louis Farrakhan was the one who broke the silence by respectfully asking his teacher of the acceptability of repentance.

“The Honorable Elijah Muhammad responded: ‘O yes, Brother. Repentance is accepted. But if the accusation was open, the repentance must be open. And it must be in time.’ ”

“The Minister’s words between the two parts of his teacher’s words are like the work he has been doing these near 19 years. His is, among other things, doing a work of Grace! God put him here to give us, our people and this country–and even some others–a chance before the breaking out of ARMAGEDDON!”

It’s in the news and was reported that a Wheel was seen on October the 19th during or just after his closing remarks. Those who think, or have said, that the Honorable Louis Farrakhan lied, or is in any way spooky himself, about his vision, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad being alive, about the reality of the Wheel or Mother Plane, with her smaller 1,500 bombing planes, have put themselves in a terrible position.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that whatever we thought–not just spoke out loud–about him was heard, whether it was for or against him. The same is so regarding the Honorable Louis Farrakhan. So, those who have and are slandering him don’t have much time to stop and repent of that before Allah’s wrath falls upon them.

*****

Surah 33:58 warns us not to even annoy a believer. Look up the definition of annoy. This is the least of all the things you can do against a Believer.

Minister Farrakhan is an exceptional Believer. So, let us be careful of what we think of him and how. Remember, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad loves him with intensity and is using him to get all of his people–whom he loves in the most profound way. Be careful how you talk of and treat such a valuable man, who is extremely precious in his Backer’s sight–Allah and His Christ.

*****

On page 69 of Closing The Gap: “Brother Jabril: The very source of the quality of your sense of humor, as I have had a chance to witness, is tremendously illustrated in the work of the cartoonist against you. The way you reacted and handled that entire episode is a perfect illustration of the truth of what you just said; the ability not to take oneself so seriously, which is related to not making oneself at the center of reality, but to be God-centered. This is what I was driving at. Your sense of humor comes from a quality of character, which the Honorable Elijah Muhammad demonstrated among us.

“Brother Minister, it is a fact that any of us who had the privilege of working with you up close well knows; anyone who has observed you from a distance, but has knowledge of you will bear witness to the same. I am referring to your stupendous and the strenuous nature of your travels; which you have kept up non-stop, going on twenty-two years, in fulfillment of your assignment. It is a fact that you have a schedule, which is practically unbelievable, especially the traveling schedule, which is ‘unreal.’ To what degree do you feel love motivates and fuels you to do what you do in the way that you do it?

“Minister Farrakhan: That is the answer. Love is the power. Love is the force. Love is the gasoline or the fuel that allows one, such as myself, to do what I do and appear indefatigable, untired, not worn by what one does, and it is precisely because I love so much of what I am doing.

“I love to impart knowledge. I love to see the eyes of a human being come open to truths that mean something or can be a motivating factor to make their personal lives more meaningful. This is what gives meaning to my own life. As I give, I get; as I feed, I am fed; as I energize others, I too, am energized because I believe that is what I am born into this world to do.

“Brother Jabril: Thank you, Minister Farrakhan.

“Minister Farrakhan: You are welcome.”

The post A ‘New Beginning’ in the Midst of a Chaotic World appeared first on Final Call News.

There are many religious scholars that study the Bible that are very intelligent and learned. They are well-acquainted with much concerning the Bible. Some surely know that this book contains God’s plan of salvation, which was written in advance. Some well know that the writers of the Bible also wrote that God’s plans include the need for a period of time during which He would judge the world of the wicked. Some are well aware that during this specific period of time, when God judges the world of the wicked, a total change will transpire. Nothing that exists now will eventually be in God’s Kingdom. Rulers will lose their power. Governments will crumble and disappear.

Some scholars also know that in the midst of all of these momentous events, a people who have suffered like no other will be treated with the greatest favor by the Lord of the worlds. I don’t see how they can honestly disagree that this particular people are the Black man and woman of America.

Many, who read the Bible, believe that at least 200 million people will die during the great War of Armageddon. There are those that think the figure will go well over a billion. And there are those, who are wiser, such as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who know that God’s threat is that the number could be even much greater than that due to the fact that there are really very few people who really want to do God’s will–at present. So this tells us that time of upheaval, trouble, stress and distress will be unique in the history of God and man.

One of the unique aspects of that time will be man’s ability to destroy himself. I’ve heard some speak as though they realize we are in that time now.

Or perhaps, I should state outright that the Pope is far too intelligent a man not to know that we are in that critical time and it is now.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, of course, states that we are at the end of this world’s time now. He expects the return of the Christ, whom he represents. Does the Pope expect the return of the Christ of whom it is written that he will have a large part of the judgment and destruction of this world?

There is no way to deal honestly with all that I have been writing in this series of articles about the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan without touching the Pope’s claim to represent the Christ.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad warns, in The Fall of America, that since so very few on earth want to do God’s will that very few may be left after Armageddon is over.   Only Allah’s truth and mercy will change this.

A Brother wrote me a letter a few months ago asking about “homily.” I don’t have the letter in front of me but he wanted to know more about it and what it is.

 A homily is intended to edify a group, or enlighten and encourage, especially in spiritual and moral areas, on some practical matter.

How to keep humanity from self-extinction is certainly a matter of the most practical kind and requires the greatest degree of spirituality and mentality.

As I read his letter I thought about the year Isaiah spoke of (Isaiah 61:1-3) “acceptable year?” If so, it is also the day of God’s vengeance. Let’s look at this passage.

Isaiah 61:1-3: “The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”

Notice that the “acceptable year” is also the “day of vengeance,” according to what God revealed to this man of God. Why? What are the events to take place that make that “day” a day of both?

Jesus, according to Luke 4:18-22, spoke these words before a congregation: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bear him witness, and wondered at the gracious words, which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?”    

Why didn’t he mention the vengeance factor? What is this factor of vengeance related to? In other words why must God Himself take vengeance on some in favor of others? And who are the people involved? Why did Jesus omit the sentence that contains vengeance? Is this because acceptance of him forestalls, delays or permanently puts off vengeance?

Vengeance means the infliction of punishment in return for a wrong committed; retribution. It is the infliction of injury, harm, humiliation, or the like in return for an injury or other offense received.

Vengeance is the act of retaliating. It includes the ideas found in words (and realities) such as revenge, retaliation, reprisal, retribution, counterattack, counteraction, counterblow, counterstroke, reciprocation, requital.

Now this word vengeance comes from a Latin word vindicare from which comes the word “vindicate.” Vindicate means to clear from an accusation or suspicion. It is to afford justification for, justify; to uphold or justify by argument or evidence; to maintain or defend against opposition. It also means in certain uses, to claim oneself or another.

Now this word has meanings that the dictionary says are obsolete, archaic, old and not in use any more. Those meanings are to avenge; to free; liberate; to punish.

Looking deeper into this word’s roots, in Latin, we come to vindicatus, which is the past participle of vindicare, which means to free someone from servitude by claiming him as free, protect, avenge, punish.

This word is derived from a Latin word “vindex” which refers to a claimant, protector or an avenger.

In the 12th chapter of Romans, verse 19, Paul is giving advice to his followers. He wrote: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves … for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

It seems that to avenge means something good for some and not so good for others–at some time.

The post Why must God take vengeance on some and favor others? appeared first on Final Call News.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in Chicago, Illinois announced publicly to about 3,000 people that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was not dead on February 22, 1981.

Does this involve you?

In the Holy Qur’an English translation by Maulana Muhammad Ali, we can read in Chapter 47:25, “Surely those who turn back after guidance is manifest to them, the devil embellishes it for them; and lengthens false hopes for them.”

Now, in the same book, we can read this: 3:85, “How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their believing, and (after) they had borne witness that the Messenger was true, and clear arguments had come to them? And Allah guides not the unjust people.”

Did not we disbelieve after believing, and we did this after bearing witness that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was true?   Did he not give us clear and convincing arguments of the truth of God–the Supreme Being–our enemies, ourselves, and his mission, and the time in which we live and the changes God has set in motion for the destruction of this evil world and the setting up of a brand new world–the Kingdom of Heaven or God?

Look at the series of problems these verses, at this time present.

What does the word “how” mean? Among its meanings are: in what way or manner; to what degree, extent, or amount; at what price, for what sum; to what effect; with what meaning.  

How also means this: “for what reason or purpose?”

The word “how” also refers to a manner, method, or means of doing or bringing about something.

Now, let us go back about some years ago. It does not take a genius to see how the words of the Holy Qur’an cited above were and are being fulfilled in and around us.  

If we could see what was about to happen to the Nation of Islam from the perspective of God and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and if you had the power to either prevent the fall of the Nation, or to allow it to fall and bring it back again, what would you have done?  

Would it have been wise to prevent it from falling? The answer simply stated is, No!

On the other hand, if it were wiser to permit the Nation to fall, then one of the many questions that would have to be decided is the question of how the Nation would be revived. This, and other decisions, would have to be decided before the Nation fell–and obviously they were.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad came to see the best method by which the question of how should be answered from the Supreme Being–God Himself–Master Fard Muhammad.

God Himself saw Minister Farrakhan before the Honorable Elijah Muhammad physically saw him in February 1955.

Let us remember beloved Brothers and Sisters, that we are not considering some arbitrary, capricious, superficial choice involving Minister Farrakhan. We are dealing with a very important aspect of an action involving our Brother–Minister Farrakhan–that flows out of the infinite wisdom and eternal counsel of God Himself.

Do not play games trying to match up scripture and people and play games with our Brother who–not from his own choice–but from the choice of the Being Who knows what we think and feel; even to what our minds even suggest.

Minister Farrakhan had absolutely nothing to do with the choice that was exercised by the Living God, Master Fard Muhammad, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, to function as he does.

Stop and think for a minute. Think about the kind of dedication, determination and the intensity of the love in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for Black people.

Think about what he taught us of his Teacher’s love (Master Fard Muhammad) for us, that it is greater than a mother’s love for her child.  

Do you think that They would be careless in providing and preparing the perfect answer to the question of “how” we were to be guided “… who disbelieved after their believing … .?”

Think about these words in the Holy Qur’an.

Notice the second sentence in verse 85, “And Allah guides not the unjust people.”

Can you not see how much of a mercy our Brother, Minister Farrakhan is–whom God raised up from His own wisdom and also in answer to the Messiah’s prayer?

How you really study Luke 22:31, 32? Do we really study Minister Farrakhan’s words?

Among the things that he had said very publicly was that his teacher, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is very much alive and is in power as you read these words. He never changed that.  

Have not you seen Minister Farrakhan gratefully state that he is backed by the grace of the Supreme Being and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad?

How can any of you, who followed the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, prior to 1975, deny the grace of God–Allah–flowing through our Brother, Minister Farrakhan, and yet claim to love the Honorable Elijah Muhammad?

This is written out of love and to stimulate and deepen thought with the hope that we take after Minister Farrakhan’s example and lift up the banner of Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. This is directed towards you who for whatever your reason, are indecisive about Minister Farrakhan.

Think over Jesus’ answer in the Bible, in Matthew 18:22, “Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.”

Then look at the parable that follows and the lesson Jesus drove home in verse 35. It reads: “So likewise shall my heavenly father do also unto you, if you from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother or sister their trespasses.”

There is so much to be said, on this vast subject, involving the person and work of Minister Farrakhan.

Who backs Minister Farrakhan, and with what? To understand the true answer, one must grasp the truth of “where he is coming from.”

To be more precise, you must understand the forces and factors that produced him and, deeper, Those Who brought those forces and factors into being and to bear on this extraordinary Brother–Minister Farrakhan.

I wanted to put two paragraphs of Mother Tynnetta Muhammad’s article in this article. I just smile, when I read her words on Thursday, September 19th when I got the paper. Her words are related/connected to two paragraphs that I erased from this article. Study her words in Vol. 32, No. 51.

Some of what I am about to write reminds me of the following scriptures from the Bible and Holy Qur’an.

“But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” -Isaiah 53:5

“When Israel was a child, I loved him as a son, and I called my son out of Egypt. But the more I called to him, the more he rebelled, offering sacrifices to the images of Baal and burning incense to idols. It was I who taught Israel how to walk, leading him along by the hand.

“But he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who took care of him. I led Israel along with my ropes of kindness and love. I lifted the yoke from his neck, and I Myself stooped to feed him.

“For my people are determined to desert me. They call me the Most High, but they don’t truly honor me.

“I will not completely destroy Israel, for I am God and not a mere mortal. I am the Holy One living among you, and I will not come to destroy.

“For someday the people will follow the LORD. I will roar like a lion, and my people will return trembling from the west. And I will bring them home again, says the LORD.” –Hosea 11:1-4; 7-8; 10,11)

“Those who believe and do good deeds, for them the Beneficent will surely bring about love.” (Holy Qur’an 19:96) (The Living Bible)

***

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan arrived in Phoenix, Arizona on June 2, 2006.

As we all know, Minister Farrakhan has been under medical supervision to come out of a condition that oft-times includes pain. Pain was an aspect of the context of Minister Farrakhan’s state during the wonderful period of time I was blessed to spend with my Brother.

One might ask, why would Jabril burden Minister Farrakhan off and on throughout June and July with one question after another? Why burden the man sitting in the seat of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad with questions–especially when he is not feeling well?

There were several days when it seemed that he could hardly get out of his car. There were many days when his walk was slow. Not every day–but several days.

I am trying to give you a glimpse or view of the circumstances and condition under which I interviewed him on several days during June and July.

Why did I ask him if he would agree to be questioned? Why did he agree to be interviewed?

If you did not ask yourself those questions, why not? If you did, you are immediately on the right path to understanding something very significant concerning Minister Farrakhan, which touches all of our lives–everywhere on this Earth.

Due to a particular experience I had earlier this year and due to certain moves Minister Farrakhan intended to make, that he shared with me when I first saw him in June, I knew I did not have much time to do that which I wanted to do. It was to ask him a certain group of questions for the completion of the book, Closing the Gap, which has been a work-in-progress for several years.

The core of why I sought to interview him can be seen, in part, in one of the first questions I asked of him.

In Farrakhan: The Traveler; Volume 25, Number 37, I wrote:

“I ended my last article with: ‘Let’s see if his early history contains facts that tally with the interpretation of scriptures God taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.’

“As I prepared to do the best I could to continue this line of thought, it occurred to me to raise a question to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan on June 8, 2006, while he was here in Phoenix, Arizona. His wonderful and insightful answer is parenthetical in the course of what I am stating, by Allah’s mercy.

“Minister Jabril: Brother Minister, how would you define the art of conversation? How would you define the best kind of conversation Muslims should be engaging in, especially in this critical hour, as it’s getting darker?” [Italics mine]

Look again at the words: “especially in this critical hour, as it’s getting darker?” I am in no way being insulting. The fact is that we all live our lives under difficult circumstances, with seemingly countless things to do, under many pressures. Some of these are due to inadequacies we have yet to overcome. The broad context is that we are living at the end of the world–something that has never occurred before, which will never occur again.

Therefore, some things get by us or we forget too quickly, etc.

A major factor that also blocks our learning is something that Minister Farrakhan deals with, in this book, brilliantly–even more than that. It’s our judgmental attitude or state of mind.

If you have not read his answer on the nature of conversations, we should do it now. It can affect our lives for the better at once.

Just read and think on the answer he gave about the best kinds of conversations Muslims should be engaging. The effect his words have on you is proof enough of the source of his wisdom. What he said, in answer to that question, tallies with the effect his words have.

What about those who disbelieve or doubt? The Qur’an has adequately answered that. They remain blind or degenerate into spiritual blindness.

With the above said, let’s begin to answer these above questions so we can move on. Every question I asked him was with the “dark hour” in mind. Every answer he gave was on how to help us get through that period, by Allah’s help.

Several times, as he was answering my questions, I was so moved that I shook or squeezed his hand even while he was speaking. Why? I “saw” the “gap” being closed more rapidly when readers read his words. How does this occur?

The answer reminds me of the prophecy contained in the 11th chapter of the Book of Hosea. There it’s written that God would draw us to Himself with thick chords of love.

I am so very thankful to Allah and His Messiah for this opportunity to help Minister Farrakhan in this manner.

Remember, in questioning him, I knew that I was questioning a man whose mind was wanted and obtained by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for information for others who never met and (mostly) never saw or obtained a “feeling” for the kind of man he was and is.

More, next issue, Allah willing.
