Hours after his announcement to the press at the White House, Iran’s news agency IRNA published points in the agreement causing Mr. Trump to lash out.

According to firstpost.com, points included: Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon; complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days; and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements determined by Iran, among others.

The information amounts to “Fake News” that has “NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing,” the president wrote on his Truth Social site.

The leaked information amounts to “Fake News” that has “NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing,” the president wrote on his Truth Social site.

He wrote that Iranian authorities are “Very dishonorable people to deal with. … They better get their act together, and FAST!”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi posted on X that, in fact, an MOU “has never been closer.” He called on media outlets to “refrain from entering speculation about its content.”

The MOU agreement stipulates there would be a cessation of fighting for 60 days while the finer points of contention are hammered out, according to press reports.

Parties in agreement with the MOU in its current form include Israel, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others, President Trump acknowledged in a Truth Social post, adding the U.S. Naval blockade of Iran would remain until the agreement is signed.

At Final Call presstime, President Trump announced yet again that a peace deal had been reached. The Iranian outlet PressTV.ir, reported on June 14 that.

“The secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has confirmed that Tehran and Washington have finalized the text of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on ending the war, bringing an immediate and permanent halt to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and terminating the US naval blockade against Iran.”

In an April ceasefire agreement, Iran stipulated lifting of U.S. sanctions and unfreezing of Iranian assets, continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, reparations for damage done in the war, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from bases in the region, among other demands, many of which still stand.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance recently addressed some of these points: “If the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region,” he posted on X.

On the other hand, the U.S. Treasury Department has announced it will use Iranian assets to help America’s Gulf allies to recover from war damages caused by Iran, according to cbsnews.com.

Days before the MOU announcement, President Trump increased attacks on Iran partly because of the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz but also because Iranians were “taking too long” to reach an agreement.

He announced through Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that the U.S. would “negotiate with bombs.” The president also announced a desire to capture Kharg Island, an important Iranian port to store oil.

“At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela …” Mr. Trump said on social media.

The U.S. already has enforced a Naval blockade on Iranian shipments. Capturing the island would almost certainly involve U.S. boots-on-the ground, a situation the president said the American public probably would not support.

“Iran is not Venezuela,” commented historian and University of Houston professor Dr. Gerald Horne, adding that President Trump’s persistent promises of ceasefires and peace deals “is an attempt to manipulate the price of oil and stock markets.”

Critics have consistently voiced frustration with the president’s regular contradictory announcements regarding ceasefires and pending peace agreements. Bombs have fallen throughout the April 8 “ceasefire” announcement, partly due to violations from Israel through their attacks against Hezbollah resistance fighters in Lebanon.

At one point, the disagreement grew into a public spat with President Trump scolding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for potentially derailing a peace deal.

Who’s in charge?

When Iran launched a June 7 attack on Israel in retaliation for an Israeli assault on Hezbollah in Lebanon, President Trump appealed to Prime Minister Netanyahu to stand down and not retaliate.

“I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots,” the U.S. president was quoted saying in response to a question from reporters. The next day, Israel launched attacks into Iran, apparently ignoring Mr. Trumps appeal.

The public disagreements have observers wondering who’s in charge.

Dr. Wilmer Leon, professor of Political Science at Morgan State University, doesn’t consider either leader “in charge” of the direction of the war.

“When you look at how much money AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) has poured into this, when you look at the interests of Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas, and General Electric, the military industrial complex is in charge of this,” he declared.

“When you look at Shell Oil, ExxonMobil, they’re in charge of this. Donald Trump is merely a figurehead.”

Dr. Leon said the U.S. and other western nations want to maintain the “settler colonial project known as Israel” in the region and western Christian Zionists have a religious interest in maintaining the status quo.

“I think it was (former president) Joe Biden who said, ‘if Israel didn’t exist, we would create one,’” he noted. “Then you have the Christian Zionists and their interest as it relates to Armageddon and the whole belief of the rapture.”

Appearing at a recent Congressional hearing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX.) whether Israel has nuclear weapons. Rep. Castro prefaced his question stating that he and 29 other representatives wrote Rubio a letter expressing the need to understand the “full risk, including the nuclear risk” involved in the Iran war. With American soldiers in the region, Congress needs to know if Israel would use nuclear force, he implied.

Rep. Castro said the response from Rubio’s Bureau of Legislative Affairs department was Congress should “ask Israel,” a response he described as “very bizarre.”

“Will you tell us … whether Israel, in fact, possesses nuclear weapons?” he asked.

The secretary did not answer the question directly, saying only that “most of the world assesses that they do.” The question was more appropriate for a “classified and sensitive” setting, Sec. Rubio said.

“The reason he can’t answer that question,” said Dr. Leon, “is because as soon as he admits that Israel has a nuclear weapon, that changes the legal dynamics that the United States now finds itself engaged in.”

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has warned America about her efforts to destabilize foreign nations and warned Muslim leaders to stand united.

“Iranians have the right to resolve their own problems without outside interference, just as the U.S. has claimed its right to conduct elections free of Russian influence,” Minister Farrakhan said in a statement regarding his 2018 trip to Iran and message to Iran and America. Self-determination is a right of every nation, Minister Farrakhan said.

“The Muslim World needs unity and must find the path to reconciliation despite efforts to pit Muslims against one another. Satan seeks to divide Muslims and wants them to kill each other, while Allah God tells us in the Qur’an to be united.”

The post Is agreement to stop Iran war near? appeared first on Final Call News.

With distrust rising among warring parties and fractures appearing in President Donald Trump’s grip on Republican legislators, the war could explode into all-out battle again, particularly due to Israel’s attacks and expansion into Lebanon. 

Iran has said continued attacks into Lebanon is a red line to peace talks.

Such attacks moved President Trump to launch an expletive-laced scolding of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a June 1 conversation.

“You’re f***ing crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me,” axios.com reported based on conversations with its sources familiar with the tense conversation. “I’m saving your a**. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”

The goal of Israel’s attacks in Lebanon “is to destroy even the slightest possibility for the ongoing diplomatic processes to lead to improvements in the situation,” Iranian Foreign Minister Esmaeil Baghaei said in a statement,” adding, “We can’t consider the U.S. and the Zionist regime as two separate agents.”

Critics are further concerned that legislation before the U.S. Congress could deepen U.S.-Israel cooperation on weapons technology, research and production.

The United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative appears in Section 224 of the House Armed Services Committee’s version of the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual U.S. defense policy bill, Al Jazeera news reported.

Passage would join America and Israel even more than they already are in technology, critics warn, noting Israel’s “iron dome” technology.

Paying $3.8 billion a year in taxpayer dollars for Israel’s defense has become very unpopular, said Phyllis Bennis, director of the Institute for Policy Studies. The funding is based on a memorandum of understanding (MO) and the prospect of negotiating another MO that lasts 10-20 years “was not looking very hopeful,” she said.

So, some members of Congress decided to include it in the NDAA, she said.

“They won’t get direct military aide. Instead, they would get a partnership of production of weapons that would make the U.S. even more complicit in Israeli war crimes,” Ms. Bennis said.

President Trump, by many accounts, was persuaded to attack Iran by Prime Minister Natanyahu, who advised that Iran would surrender within days of a U.S.-Israel joint attack. Ms. Bennis disagrees.

Trump was a war-making president already, she said, adding, now, there are significant differences between the two leaders.

“Netanyahu’s goal from the beginning is to maintain a war against Iran until he can claim that the Iranian regime has been completely defeated. … Without that, he is nothing. Now that puts him in direct contradiction with Trump, who just wants to get out from under this war. He’s bored with it, as he says himself,” Ms.  Bennis explained.

The ultimate pressure point to bring Prime Minister Netanyahu in line may be to threaten to stop arming Israel, she concluded.

Pressure from criminal charges Mr. Netanyahu faces once he’s no longer prime minister and criticism from Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir may give the prime minister fuel to persist in war.

“You said that a strong prime minister tells the President of the United States ‘yes’ when possible, and ‘no’ when necessary. Now is the time to say to our friend, President Trump, ‘no,’” Mr. Gvir wrote on his Telegram channel, according to newarab.com, a London-based English language news site.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, spoke of America’s current predicament in chapter 69 of His phenomenal book “Fall of America.”

“With nations rejecting peace offers and nations laughing and making mock of you forever seeking peace and friendship—as it is written, ‘Peace is desired more than fine gold!’ …

“We did not know that we would see such a Goliath—such a giant—falling. Goliath! who has defied the nations of the earth to come out and fight with them, as Goliath did before Israel. Now, nations make mock of the great giant of the earth, America.”

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, during Saviours’ Day 2024, warned President Trump of being pulled into a war due to Mr. Netanyahu’s blood thirst.

Speaking of the genocide on Palestinians, Minister Farrakhan explained that in the night hours, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad had shown him in a vision the wicked King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

“And that man, Nebuchadnezzar: Allah turned him from a human to a beast,” Minister Farrakhan said. “And when I looked at what was happening to our Palestinian brothers and sisters, I saw why Allah showed me Nebuchadnezzar; because Netanyahu was becoming a beast in human form, with no feeling at all for the Palestinian people and for what they were causing the Palestinian people to suffer.”

The long game

Analysts speculate that the U.S. and Iran are playing a long game of who can hold out, as President Trump is banking on Iran’s economy to totally collapse and Tehran gambles that global economies will put pressure on Mr. Trump.

Politico recently reported that executives have warned the White House that U.S. oil reserves are “hitting rock bottom” due to Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic nation’s strongest strategy and position in the war. Trump officials denied any conversation.

Meanwhile, the UN World Food Program (WFP) announced millions of people are being pushed further into hunger, even as President Trump did a June 5 midterm election campaign visit to Wisconsin to tout his agenda for farmers.

“The situation is being compounded by a lack of funding for humanitarian operations. … If the crisis continues for another six months, an additional 9 million people could lose access to aid,” WFP announced.

Oil and fertilizer are impacted by closure of the Strait.

With deaths rising above 3,500, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry since early March, Jordan Esparza-Kelley, a communications spokesperson for CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), told The Final Call that Israel’s goal is to achieve their “greater Israel project,” which includes taking  Palestine and land from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.

“For over 30 years Netanyahu has aimed for this to happen and finally there was a U.S. President gullible enough to do it. The concern is always when attention drifts from Gaza that the genocide committed by Israel intensifies,” he said regarding lack of media attention to the continued bombing, killing and land grabs in Gaza and the West Bank.

He said CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, is focusing on domestic issues like the NDAA weapons legislation.

“Parallel to these global issues is the use of inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric by local, state, and federal elected officials, which stoke the flames for terror attacks” on Muslims, he said.

Anti-Muslim rhetoric is used as a vehicle to bolster defense budgets and create a state of paranoia in the U.S. by manufacturing an enemy abroad and at home, he concluded.

Four Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives joined Democrats June 3 to pass a War Powers resolution that calls on President Trump to either pull out of the war or get approval from Congress to continue. The resolution is mostly symbolic as it can be vetoed by the president, which then Congress would have to override.

The post Trump and Netanyahu play dangerous game in Iran war appeared first on Final Call News.

Because of these truths, he has been falsely called and labeled a hater, anti-Semitic, and an enemy of the American people. But speaking truth and warning of approaching danger, even if it hurts, are the characteristics of a true friend.

American presidents are fond of the word “patriot.” Past presidents have called on Americans to be “patriotic” citizens and respond to their drumbeats for war and invasion of other nations under the false pretenses of America under attack or threats of terrorism.

They call on “patriots” to perform their duties even when the presidents themselves and Congress knowingly lie to justify invading or bombing other nations to overthrow regimes or gain access to mineral wealth.

The lives of many American soldiers have been lost based on these lies. Lies pulled America into the Vietnam War. Lies pulled American soldiers into invading Iraq.

Tens of thousands of innocent civilian lives have been lost on the receiving end of U.S. bombs and American weaponry supplied to Israel in their genocidal attempt to exterminate the people of Palestine, Lebanon and other Muslim nations.

Today, America is involved in a war against Iran, a war that was not declared by the U.S. Congress. The war does, however, complete a larger strategy launched by so-called neoconservatives in the late 1990s and significantly impacted by the administration of President George W. Bush.

That strategy, which accelerated after the 9/11 attacks on America, was to destabilize the Middle East by overthrowing the governments of seven Muslim nations—Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. 

At this writing, every one of those nations have been destabilized—except Iran.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has warned every U.S. president, from Ronald Reagan to Donald J. Trump, of the dangers of pulling the lynchpin into Armageddon, the war to end all wars spoken of in scripture.

He has repeated the forecast spoken by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, that once this war starts there would be blood “and plenty of it.” 

Once Armageddon is in its full fury, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan that America would send their soldiers over in the tens of thousands, but they would come back in the fives and tens.

“I have been reading that the plans are already made for America to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Minister Farrakhan said in an April 8, 2007, message at Mosque Maryam, referencing the 2003 bombing of Iraq to remove leader Saddam Hussein. “The United States can’t win a ground war in Iraq, and it can’t win a ground war in Iran,” he continued.

The only way for America to defeat Iran is to use nuclear force under the pretense that America is destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities, while all the time killing civilians, the Minister forecasted.

Minister Farrakhan warned President Trump in his first term (2016-2020) that his character and thinking would be to the detriment of his administration, a warning manifested more fully in his second administration.

Mr. Trump’s second administration has drawn the distrust of America’s closest ally, Canada, by suggesting that the U.S. could annex its northern neighbor.

He has caused distrust among allied European nations by unilaterally applying exorbitant tariffs on their exports, called countries nasty names, ridiculed friendly leaders and threatened to withdraw from NATO.

An April Alliance of Democracies Foundation survey confirmed Minister Farrakhan’s warning, showing that “[G]lobal perceptions of the U.S. have deteriorated for a second consecutive year and are now worse than views of Russia.”

The Denmark-based foundation said the U.S. was also most frequently named in response to which country posed the greatest threat to ​the world, after Russia and Israel, Reuters reported.

Minister Farrakhan has warned that Mr. Trump’s plan for American dominance through fear is what is pushing smaller nations to want weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Trump invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its president, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, while also taking control of that nation’s oil exports and revenues.

Even as he pursues war in Iran, Mr. Trump has announced Cuba as his next target—announcing indictments on former Cuban President Raul Castro, increased the military presence in the Gulf, placed economic sanctions and an oil embargo that have caused near 24-hour power outages and Cuban suffering.

In the book “Closing The Gap” by Brother Jabril Muhammad, Minister Farrakhan said in answer to a question, that obtaining a nuclear weapon is a deterrent to American aggression.

“To make Syria afraid; to make Iran afraid; to make North Korea afraid; to make any little, small nation afraid is to say to them as the scripture says, ‘Wake up the mighty men of war.  And let them turn their plow shares and their pruning hooks into spears and swords’ because this is a time of global war.

“Their efforts for peace may be noble, but they will not come to pass until war has decimated the warmongers. And many, many, many, many millions of human lives will be lost,” he said.

To Muslim leaders in the Middle East, Minister Farrakhan warned in a Nov. 8, 2018, news conference in Tehran, Iran, that President Trump is  “making toxic the divisions between Sunni and Shia” Muslims and “openly saying they should reject their brother Iran.” He said new sanctions on Iran is the predicate for a new war.

“I am begging our president and the government that support him to be very, very careful because if  the trigger of war in the Middle East is pulled by you using your surrogates at the insistence of Israel, then the war will trigger another kind of war that would bring China, Russia, all of the nations into a war,” Minister Farrakhan said.

“It bothers me to say this to you, Mr. President, but the war will end America as we know it.  I am a warner to you.  I am a friend to America, not an enemy.  But if you do not heed the warning and correct your path, death will come.” —James G. Muhammad, Contributing Editor

The post Despite divine warning, America falling into the abyss appeared first on Final Call News.

The third rail carries electricity that powers the train, and it is extremely dangerous to touch. It is something that should not be approached without the proper equipment. It could kill you.

There is a conversation emerging in public more prominently today than in the past, mostly because the issue had been considered settled and to raise it in a way counter to the popular narrative could put one in an uncomfortable position.

That question is, “Who are the real children of Israel,” or put another way, “Who are Allah’s (God’s) Chosen People?” Answering this question correctly and acting accordingly would put the world as we see it today in a position to receive mercy from Allah (God) for its transgressions.

Answering the question incorrectly or making it uncomfortable to have a public dialogue on the question gives us the condition we see the world in today—fear, chaos, confusion, war, rumors of war, and increasing natural disasters.

President Donald Trump recently participated in a public event titled “America reads the Bible” where he quoted from 2 Chronicles, verse 14, which says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

It’s the verse that served as the guiding scripture for the historic 1995 Million Man March called by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and attended by nearly two million men.

It is a verse that has consistently underscored Minister Farrakhan’s appeals to his people to seek atonement for our sins and for presidents and the government of America to give justice to the descendants of her former slaves, so the country could delay God’s Wrath.

Many seek to answer the question using the Bible as their sole “evidence.” Specifically, Genesis 15:13, where Allah (God) promises His servant Abram that his seed will be saved and awarded a great future after being subjected to brutal slave conditions for 400 years.

During a 2010 speech before thousands in Atlanta, Ga., Minister Farrakhan raised the question: “Who are the real Children of Israel? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has said that Almighty God Allah revealed to him that the Black people of America are the real Children of Israel. And we are the choice of God; and that unto us He will deliver His Promise.”

These are powerful and controversial words, but he backed them up with a challenge to the world’s scholars of religion and history: “This question says that somebody has usurped our position.

This question says that somebody has taken The Promise of God to the Children of Israel and claimed it for themselves. But those of you who are scholars of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam: If you can disprove this, then I’ll pay with my life for lying.

“My declaring this, I know, will divide scholars, theologians, Jews, Christians and Muslims. But it is time, now, that a proper dialogue be set up to answer the question that I’ve raised, and answered.”

Interestingly, no scholar or clergy accepted the challenge. The only reaction was verbal stones thrown by those who fear Minister Farrakhan’s words, labeling him with terms aimed at detracting public attention from his message.

Meanwhile, in 2026, the world is watching a genocide of a whole people and the expanded seizure and occupation of land that belongs to others—all under the guise that the land is promised to the “chosen people” who are now taking back their land.

Why does such a simple question cause discomfort among people and nations that no public dialogue can be had on the various positions on the question? Why are people who raise the issue labeled “anti-Semitic,” “bigots,” “haters” and other ugly names?

There is overwhelming agreement among religious and academic scholars that, based on historical and archaeological evidence, or the lack thereof, the enslavement of the Children of Israel in ancient Egypt never happened.

And that “history” certainly has no connection to those who occupy Palestine today and who continue to encroach on the surrounding lands of its Arab populations.

Could it be that Shulamit Aloni, the former Israeli Cabinet member and former Minister of Education, was correct when she told Amy Goodman in a 2002 interview on Democracy Now!

That the use of the term anti-Semitism is “a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-Semitic.”

If the definition of semite and semitism at one time referred to the various ethnic groups and languages prominent in the Middle East and parts of Africa, how did the term “anti-Semitism” come to refer solely to those who are “hostile” or “prejudiced” against Jewish people?

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that the enemy has twisted the word of Allah (God) to cause the people to view Biblical scripture as 75% historical and 25% prophetic, when, in fact, the opposite is true—it is 25% historical and 75% prophetic—meaning most of what is written would happen in the future of the writing.

And since there is no evidence of Jews of today being in bondage to Pharaohs of ancient Egypt for 400 years, who is the promise referring to? If evidence can be presented confirming the promise refers to those occupying Palestine today, so be it.

If it is not, and there is evidence of a people today who have been in bondage in a strange land and persecuted for over 400 years, what then should be done?

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has called the scholars of the Abrahamic faiths—Muslims, Christians, Jews—to the table for dialogue to answer the question. Why hasn’t anyone accepted the invitation?

James G. Muhammad is a former editor-in-chief of The Final Call and is currently a contributing editor.

The post The ‘third rail’ question: Who are the ‘Chosen People?’ appeared first on Final Call News.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, causes and teaches us to understand that the mental, moral and even physical deterioration of our health is a result of the miseducation and mistreatment of the Black man and woman by the slave master and his children.

Psychological sciences testify to the effect that historical traumas have on the attitudes and, therefore, actions of our people. A study of epigenetics rewards our research.

Hatred of self was instilled in our ancestors for centuries as they suffered horrible abuse. Babies were separated from their parents and raised by our enemies;

Fear of the slave master was seared into the core of our being as we watched the rebellious ones among us tortured and brutally killed before our eyes. This created negative inbred attitudes and behaviors that we exhibit today.

That is a reason the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan pronounced the National Center—Mosque Maryam and Muhammad University of Islam—a center for retraining and re-education for the Black man and woman.

Some of us have been able to reach heights of success unimaginable by our ancestors. Nevertheless, as the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches, no single individual can rise above the condition of his or her people.

If your people are viewed as not worthy of respect, then the individual’s success and status in life isn’t really what it appears to be. Given the right circumstances, that individual would be told where his or her place is.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad worked tirelessly for more than 40 years to liberate the Black man and woman physically and mentally from the chains of oppression of White society. He called for separation: “

Since we cannot get along with them [Whites] in peace and equality, after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced.

We believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by White America, justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.”

He tries to reach our minds through His publications “Message to the Blackman in America,” “Our Saviour Has Arrived,” “The Fall of America,” “How to Eat to Live,” Books 1 & 2, and other writings.

He labeled White people as “the devil” and “the enemy.” Many of us thought he was name-calling, when, in fact, He was and is describing the nature and actions of Whites, past and present, toward not only Black people in the U.S., but around the world.

Blacks in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Asia cry out for the foot of colonialism to be lifted from their necks. Search every continent and you will find that, generally, Whites are in power or the lighter skin is placed higher in society than the darker. It’s a sickness.

America and Europe salivate over the mineral riches of Africa; the same ones whose boot has been on the necks of African rulers under colonialism and the slave trade. Today, they take a kinder, gentler approach to gain access to mineral wealth unless they are forced to threaten those nations with military options—examples are Venezuela and Cuba.

Why are Black leaders who seek independence for their people castigated and even killed for their ideas for liberation? The list includes Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral … even the great Nelson Mandela of South Africa was once labeled a “terrorist.”

Today’s threat to the White power structures in Africa comes from leaders like Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso and others in the region who have kicked France out and are trying to empower the people based on terms of independence.

The enemy is very scientific. He knows he can’t assassinate or imprison a popular leader without first maligning their character and turning the people against the leader with lies.

The people backed the historical Jesus until his enemies branded him a threat despite the miracles he performed. He was crucified with criminals. The enemy’s pattern has not changed.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Harriett Tubman and others who fought for Black freedom have U.S. postage stamps with their faces on them. They are dead now and are no longer a threat to the power structure, except through their words.

But their images and ideas are controlled by a media that perpetuates the softer stance these leaders represented rather than their liberation messages.

Martin’s image today is as a “dreamer” rather than an opponent of the war in Vietnam and his fight for economic justice that he expressed toward the end of his life. He would be in opposition to the genocide in Palestine and the war with Iran if he were alive today.

Malcolm’s message from the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad revolutionized the Black nationalist and later the Pan-African movements before his death. The U.S. government is at the root of their assassinations.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan continue to preach that our unity is more powerful than an atomic or hydrogen bomb. That’s the kind of power that keeps an enemy at bay.

One reason the U.S. and Israel are at war with Iran is that they do not want Iran to have nuclear weapons, even though they both have them, and the U.S. is the only nation that has used an atomic weapon on a population.

The enemy does not want to see Black people unified because our unity is just that powerful!

The post The power of unity and why we don’t have it appeared first on Final Call News.

Hundreds of friends, family and believers filed into Mosque Maryam for the janazah (funeral) service of Minister Abdul Akbar Muhammad, a close companion of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, a man who has traveled and established relationships around the world on behalf of Minister Farrakhan, and a man who endeared himself to many as a mentor and friend.

Abdul Akbar Muhammad was “my best helper, my most faithful helper, my most loving brother,” Minister Farrakhan said, speaking at Bro. Akbar’s coffin, which was draped with a blue prayer rug with gold trim. “Allah gave special recognition to brotherhood, but even greater recognition when brothers become friends. I found in Brother Akbar a friend,” he said.

Minister Farrakhan had approached the coffin, thanking Allah (God) for Bro. Akbar, “a servant who showed us how to live a righteous life.”  He thanked the audience for coming to give respect and honor to a servant “who has earned a place of honor with us all.”

Wearing a tan fez and matching suit, Minister Farrakhan explained his 61-year friendship with Bro. Akbar. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad assigned Minister Farrakhan to the New York then-Temple No. 7 after Malcolm X left the N.O.I. Though he was born in New York, Minister Farrakhan explained he had never lived there.

It was an assignment the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said would either break Minister Farrakhan or make him a stronger man, the Minister explained, adding he knew how to teach the word well but needed assistance in running the mosque of his new assignment. Minister Farrakhan said Min. Akbar came to his side to help.

“I could not have made it if not for Brother Larry (as Bro. Akbar was known at the time). I needed a friend, somebody who could show me things I didn’t know,” he said.

The relationship blossomed into work, travel, and more work, said Minister Farrakhan, who would later assign Min. Akbar as his first and only International Representative.

Born Lawrence James Prescott Jr. on June 9, 1942, in Hampton, Va., Bro. Akbar graduated from Aviation High School and later attended Hunter College. However, his real education would be acquired as a member of the N.O.I. 

He married Maryam Aziz (born Marion Williams) at 17 years of age and joined the N.O.I. in 1961. He worked hard and rose through the N.O.I. ranks to become an assistant minister at a new temple in Corona, Queens.

When Minister Farrakhan was named minister of the New York temple in 1965, Min. Akbar became his top assistant and was instrumental in organizing numerous major initiatives, including the 1974 Black Family Day held at Randall’s Island in New York, where 70,000 people attended, and heard a message from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. That same year, he helped to organize and coordinate Minister Farrakhan’s visit to Jamaica at the invitation of Prime Minister Michael Manley.

During the years 1975 and 1976, upon the departure of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and a change in the N.O.I.’s direction, Min. Akbar was assigned to revitalize Mosque No. 28 in St. Louis, Mo., and Mosque No. 28B in East St. Louis, Ill. He was later transferred to Chicago to serve as Special Assistant to Imam Wallace D. Muhammad, who had assumed leadership, and was given the name Karriem Abdel Aziz. 

He would later answer a call from Minister Farrakhan to help rebuild the N.O.I. and was later given the name Abdul Akbar Muhammad by his brother and friend. As the International Representative of the N.O.I. and Minister Farrakhan, Min. Akbar traveled to 154 countries, 44 of which were on the African continent, meeting with kings, presidents, prime ministers, heads of state, and other dignitaries. 

He played a major role in planning peace missions, three World Friendship Tours, and numerous fact-finding missions for the Black press. He opened an office for the N.O.I. in Ghana at the invitation of the late Ghanaian President Jerry John Rawlings and opened the Ghana Mission to serve the Ghanaian people and spread the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Min. Akbar organized the first Saviours’ Day Convention, held outside the United States in Accra, Ghana, where nearly 2,000 Black Americans traveled. Min. Akbar returned to Allah on March 17 at age 83.

An exclusive class

Delivering words of comfort, Student Minister Ishmael Muhammad, National Assistant Minister to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, emphasized the Nation’s gratitude for Min. Akbar Muhammad. “A grateful Nation honors its soldiers, honors its founding fathers and mothers,” he said. “Women and men are honored equally. You have much as a family to be grateful for.”

He said men and women like Bro. Akbar are in an “exclusive class,” having laid a foundation for the future generations to do a greater work. He admonished the audience that the present moment is the perfect time to show honor and respect for one another because the next moment is not guaranteed. 

He said the community is saddened, yet grateful for the life of Min. Akbar. “We mourn the loss of the physical presence of Bro. Akbar. But his contributions in the cause of Allah will never be forgotten. The work he did in the establishment of freedom, justice and equality live on,” he said.

Muslims vow in their prayers that their sacrifice, life and death are all for Allah, he said, adding, “We believe Bro. Akbar fulfilled his vow.”

To Bro. Akbar’s children, he said, sometimes they may have felt an injustice because their father was often away. He said it is a sacrifice for those who devote themselves to a mission of uplifting a fallen people to establish a nation.

The solution, he said, is for the children to “embrace the cause that their fathers and mothers have devoted their lives to.”

“They do good not seeking any benefit or favors,” he said to the audience. “Stop living a vain and selfish existence. Live in service to others.” 

With a large photo of Bro. Akbar on one side of the coffin and a large photo of Bro. Akbar with Minister Farrakhan on the other, guests entering the sanctuary were greeted with soft music and a photo collage on a large screen featuring scenes of Min. Akbar and his travels and relationships.

Min. Akbar’s children and grandchildren read the obituary and gave remarks. A colorful moment occurred when his daughter, Sister Najah Aziz, brought the crowd to laughter while recounting personal stories about her father.

She started by reciting a song, “I’m Late,” detailing how Bro. Akbar would be rushing to get ready for the day ahead. She dedicated the day to her mother Maryam Aziz and told the audience how her mother would tell the children, “Y’all better get y’alls Black dresses ready,” because Bro. Akbar was doing too much, jokingly implying their father was working himself to death.

She said Bro. Akbar taught his daughters to be independent, and for birthdays, he would give them each an amount to match their age … until it got to be a bit much.

The girls would play mosque, setting up chairs and playing recordings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and songs by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Bro. Akbar made them watch the news so much that Sister Najah said she thought about becoming a journalist.

Lastly, she described her father as an “entrepreneur at heart,” describing his businesses Zoom Ice Cream, Books n Things and Shabazz Honey Bean Pie. The ovens were in the basement and “I was responsible for the crust,” she said to laughter from the audience.

Minister Abdul Akbar Muhammad was interred March 29 during a private burial in his hometown of Hampton, Va.

May Allah be forever pleased with His faithful servant, Abdul Akbar Muhammad.

In fact, the very words uttered to friend or stranger as attendees passed in the hallways were literally a trifecta of greetings that means peace. As-Salaam Alaikum, Ramadan Mubarak and Happy Saviours’ Day! were the salutations often spoken.

As-Salaam Alaikum is the most common greeting heard in the Arabic language. It means peace be unto you. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan reminds us that these words are sacred and are not to be spoken casually as we do when greeting one another in English—hello, how ya’ doin’, what’s up, and so on.

Those words of greeting do not express the depth of love and care that should be expressed to a loved one or even a community member you may not know. If we wish to make our communities better and safer, we must first truly care for one another. As the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches, “We must first be brothers.”

When we greet with As-Salaam Alaikum, we are literally telling that person, may the peace of Allah (God) go or be with you. The greeting should not be said in haste or with a tone that does not reflect care for the recipient of the greeting, Minister Farrakhan teaches. And when that person responds, “Wa Alaikum Salaam,” he or she is returning the same desire for Allah’s peace and blessings to be with you.

If we practice this greeting, how can we not create decent and safe communities in which to live?

An added blessing to this year’s celebration was that it occurred during the Holy Month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, self-reflection, reading of the entire Holy Quran, and abstaining from intimacy with our mates from dusk to dawn.

The greeting during Ramadan reflects peace: Ramadan Mubarak, meaning “Blessed Ramadan,” to which one of the responses is Ramadan Karriem, returning a hope for a generous/peaceful Ramadan upon the greeter.

It is a month to strengthen one’s discipline by throwing off old habits and creating new, good practices. It is a time to establish peace within oneself, a closer relationship to Allah (God) and to express a blessing of peace and charity to others. It is a month where special attention is given to being charitable to others, especially the poor.

Ramadan, when practiced, brings laser focus on our thoughts and actions as we move throughout our day and allows us to strengthen ourselves where we are weak. If we practice the principles of Ramadan, how can we not create decent and safe communities in which to live?

While all the greetings offered during the Saviours’ Day celebration were expressed with deep love and happiness, the greeting that was delivered with the most exuberance was “Happy Saviours’ Day.”

The annual three-day event had been the only time this greeting was most often uttered. But some Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan are developing the habit of extending that greeting all the time, and rightly so.

We have referred to Saviours’ Day as the “Crowning Event” of Black History Month, not because it comes at the end of the month, but because it marks the most significant event for the Black man and woman since our ancestors were brought to these shores.

The weekend is held to celebrate the Birth Anniversary of Allah (God), Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, Teacher of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. This Divine human being would be the vessel through whom the prophecy of Genesis 15:13 would be fulfilled.

In that prophecy, Allah (God) reveals to Prophet Abraham that He (Allah) will come to a people who have suffered in a strange land under a wicked slave master for 400 years. He (Allah) will also judge, or punish, that nation that enslaved His people, the real Children of Israel, the Black man and woman of America.

When that Saviour comes, He will raise a man like Moses who will tell that wicked ruler to let the Children of Israel go. That man who will be like Moses will have a chief helper like Aaron, who helped Moses.

That man like Moses (the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad) and his helper Aaron (the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan) would be attacked by the rulers of their day who will feel threatened by the message that new Moses brings. As they should be. That message is a warning to the rulers that their kingdom is facing demise.

And no matter how hard the modern rulers try to destroy or disparage the name, reputation and even life of these men and their message, their efforts will be unsuccessful. God’s Hedge around them is impenetrable.

To paraphrase the lyrics of the song: Heaven is “A place to find happiness; A place close to Allah’s loveliness; Somewhere to rest my aching mind; Where there’s no time, the Saviours’ love is divine.”

As Salaam Alaikum. Ramadan Mubarak. HAPPY SAVIOURS’ DAY!!!

Student Protocol Directors at Saviours’ Day

DETROIT—Thousands gathered in Detroit, Feb. 19-22 for Saviours’ Day, The Crowning event of Black History Month, held at the Huntington Place convention center in Detroit, Michigan. F.O.I. and M.G.T. and G.C.C. from various departments and ministries, including the Protocol Department, worked cheerfully and hard over the weekend to ensure the success of this year’s convention. —Daleel Jabir Muhammad

Rev. Jackson, an energetic and creative student of religion with a talent for organizing people, had traveled to Selma, Ala., in the mid-1960s to help in the Voting Rights Movement after viewing an attack on activists by police and a White mob while crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge, now known as “Bloody Sunday.” It was shortly thereafter that he met Dr. King. 

While devoted to Dr. King’s principles, Rev. Jackson was already on the road of activism prior to his personal relationship with his mentor. He was part of the “Greenville Eight,” a group of students in Greenville, S.C., who in 1960 participated in a sit-in at a Whites-only public library that led to the desegregation of the city’s public libraries. 

His talents for moving people showed, and Dr. King asked the aspiring preacher to accept an assignment. Rev. Jackson joined Dr. King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) movement and was sent to Chicago to organize and act as national director of Operation Breadbasket; a direct-action organization focused on supporting Black-owned businesses and boycotting and picketing businesses that did not employ Black people. 

Rev. Jackson was present April 3, 1968, at Dr. King’s historic “Mountain Top” speech, an address Dr. King gave in Memphis, Tenn., to support Black sanitation workers on strike. Iconic symbols of that demonstration were strikers carrying “I am a man” signs. During the speech, Dr. King spoke eerily about the possibility of his death. 

“… I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. … I’ve looked over and I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land,” he famously said.

The next day, Rev. Jackson, Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Memphis Rev. Samuel “Billy” Kyles were on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel (now a national civil rights museum) when an assassin’s bullet took Dr. King’s life. Other activists, including Rev. Jackson, were in the parking lot below. In an interview years later, Rev. Jackson said after hearing the shot, he ran toward the steps and said there is a picture of Pastor and close confident of Dr. King, Andrew Young and himself pointing in the direction the gunshot came from. 

Several years after the 1968 assassination of Dr. King and Rev. Jackson’s departure from SCLC, he founded Operation PUSH (People United to Serve Humanity) which focused on many of the same goals. The organization is now referred to as the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, underscoring its diverse membership and level of support.

In an interview on Life Stories from May 17, 2017, Rev. Jackson reflected on first meeting Dr. King and others in the Civil Rights Movement. He explained that he along with several classmates, had been arrested in July 1960 trying to use a public library and little did he know, Dr. King was aware of a young Jesse Jackson and his activism. 

“Little did I know, he was aware of that and then in ’63 in Greensboro, North Carolina at North Carolina A&T, we were involved in a major sit-in movement there. So, when I first met him physically, I was coming to Atlanta to speak at Morehouse as a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and he was coming to the airport with his group on the way to get his Nobel Prize. It was just a thrill to see him. He saw me, he called my name, ‘Jesse.’ It threw me off,” Rev. Jackson reflected. He explained that Dr. King’s acknowledgement of him showed how sensitive and aware he was of their struggle as young activists in the movement. 

In a 2008 speech, Rev. Jackson reflected on the economic philosophy of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement: “It must lead to more futures and fewer young funerals. It must embrace Dr. King’s last dream, a poor people’s campaign, where all could come together with a job, income, education, and health care. A bridge that leads us from racial battleground to economic common ground. It leads us to healing,” he said.

Rev. Jackson wrote an op-ed published in the Black-owned, Washington Informer, in 2020, where he again reflected on the impact of his mentor, Dr. King. 

“Dr. King’s commitment provides a wonderful example for all of us, but particularly for the young. He did not order an army; he inspired people to act and to volunteer. He amassed no fortune. He did not hold high office. Yet, by the wisdom of his teaching, the justice of his cause, the intensity of his commitment, he helped transform America, leading it out of the shame of segregation and toward a more perfect union.”

Through his friendship and work alongside Dr. King, Rev. Jackson learned much, picked up the mantle from his mentor and continued the important fight for justice on behalf of Black and oppressed people. And like his mentor, Rev. Jackson fought, worked and sacrificed till the end.

Bro. Ronald returned to Allah (God) on Feb. 13.

Born Oct. 27, 1939, Bro. Ronald established a reputation as a “no nonsense” believer whose frank approach to conversations and situations was balanced by a kindness that sometimes “took you off guard,” friends said. He was an example of discipline and an adherent to the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they said.

“There was no way I could not come today … to bear witness to this man,” Minister Farrakhan said, standing over the casket in an emotional expression of love and gratitude for “a true servant of the Most High God.”

“He was such a beautiful soul. He was more than most of us who say and do as righteous people,” Minister Farrakhan continued. “He was a soldiers’ soldier. He was a general because he was always on his post.”

Minister Farrakhan was brought to tears while explaining an incident when he went to view the body at the funeral home. While there, Bro. Ronald’s son presented him with an envelope marked “MLF” found at Bro. Ronald’s home after his passing.

Holding up the envelope for the audience, the Minister said it also had “$2,000” written on it. The son said the family found it and wanted to bring it to him, he continued.

“I broke down,” he said, choking back tears and wiping his eyes. “He’s lying in this coffin, yet he thought of us before left this earth. He left a gift for me that belongs to you. These are tears of joy, that in my life I met a man like my brother. I really feel the loss … this man was very close to my heart.”

The Minister made his remarks following the eulogy delivered by Student Minister Ishmael Muhammad, National Assistant to Minister Farrakhan. While standing at the casket, Minister Farrakhan also expressed joy for his National Assistant.

He reflected on a time the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told him of the joy he felt when he hears Minister Farrakhan teaching the word. “I have joy in my heart because he delivered the word magnificently,” he said of Student Minister Ishmael. “This is a moment of joy for me.”

Student Minister Ishmael offered condolences to the family, describing Bro. Ronald as “a unique human being” who was “bigger than life.”

“There is only one of you and one of me. But we can all bear witness there was only one Brother Ronald,” he said to laughter from the audience.

Student Minister Ishmael said it’s not the longevity of life that’s important, but the quality of life and what is done with the time the person has. The righteous never speak about the next moment in life without saying “if it be the Will of God” because no one knows the next moment, he explained. Bro. Ronald lived his life in faith, Student Minister Ishmael continued.

Some of us are just eating, walking, breathing. That’s not life, he said, adding, life is defined by a living that fulfills a purpose for life.

“Brother Ronald lived a full life and a quality life. We saw a living in Brother Ronald,” he said.

“Our prayer is that Almighty God Allah will lift the burden in your heart and give you peace that comes from our acceptance of God’s Will and the peace that God blessed you with a wonderful father in brother Ronald,” he said.

“Ronald the brother, Ronald the father, grandfather, great grandfather. Brother Ronald the soldier, Brother Ronald the Muslim, Brother Ronald the faithful companion, friend and servant of Allah, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.”

Journey of a Muslim

Bro. Ronald met Minister Farrakhan in the 1960s when he moved to Boston where the Minister was over (Temple) Mosque No. 11. He faithfully served the mosque as a Fruit of Islam (F.O.I., men of the Nation) lieutenant before moving to Chicago in 1974.

He was a gifted, self-taught craftsman, talented in carpentry, masonry and sculpture. His wood carvings were known to believers across the country. He served as an investigator in the N.O.I. and as part of Minister Farrakhan’s security detail.

He offered his talents willingly as a contractor in the renovation of Chicago’s Mosque No. 2, now known as Mosque Maryam, and Muhammad University of Islam, after they were repurchased in 1988.

His track record in the mosque is exemplary. His mark was especially felt in the Processing Class where men are trained to qualify to enter the ranks of the F.O.I., according to Bro. Willis Muhammad and Bro. Nathaniel Muhammad.

“He would tell us, if we knew we were coming in, then take steps immediately to ‘fall in,’ meaning cut your hair, wear a white shirt, then you’ll feel more involved in what you’re getting into. He was very blunt and no nonsense, but always a true brother,” said Bro. Willis, now 2nd Officer at Mosque Maryam.

“He made sure you were dressed mentally and physically. He would take off his jacket and do 50 push-ups to emphasize that the men must be in shape,” said Bro. Nathaniel Muhammad, an assistant funeral director.

Student Minister Abdul Arif Muhammad, N.O.I. General Council and a member of the N.O.I. Shura Executive Council, fondly recalls Bro. Ronald offering to cook a dinner for him when he first arrived in Chicago. “It was a phenomenal meal, and he showed me his wood carvings. He was a brother’s brother,” he said.

Former N.O.I. Supreme Captain Ali Muhammad and Bro. Ronald immediately bonded in 1975 as painters when Bro. Ronald moved to Chicago. The Nation was under Imam Warithudeen Mohammed at that time, but Bro. Ronald would introduce Bro. Ali to Minister Farrakhan during the rebuilding process.

Sister Charlene Muhammad, former M.G.T. (Muslim Girls Training and General Civilization Class, women of the N.O.I.) Captain, said Bro. Ronald was strict and stern, but had a kind and caring side to him. “He always had a smile for me, and he would even salute me,” she recalled smiling.

Bro. Ronald is survived by his children Ronald Muhammad Jr. (Chuwanda), Carl Muhammad (Roeshell), Khalimah Muhammad (Daniel), Malikah Muhammad (Jeremiah), and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

The critical dilemma for President Donald J. Trump and the American government is, do they recognize the “Messenger” and the message present in the world today; and do they recognize the consequences of ignoring the message?

In truth, it is a message for the world and its peoples, but the primary target of the message today is America, teaches the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam.

She is coming face-to-face with the consequences of ignoring the warning that has been heralded for the last 90 years by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his National Representative, the messenger in our midst today, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad detailed His warnings of Allah’s (God’s) Judgment for this nation in His epic book titled “The Fall of America.” From cover to cover, the chapters reveal why America is under Divine Judgment and how her end will come if the warning is ignored.

The book warns the government that “every nation has a term” and demonstrates what brought governments of the past to the end of their term. The book foretells the chaos and dissatisfaction among the people that exist today in America.

He writes about how the weather and natural disasters—rain, hail, snow and earthquakes—would be used to immobilize the country. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad talked about how rising coastal waters would force people to move inland. He warns how governments of Central and South America would feign friendship with America but would ultimately turn against her.

Most importantly, and most revealing to the public, is a chapter about a “Mother Plane,” wheels within a wheel prophetically seen by Prophet Ezekiel. Evidence of this so-called UFO was among “top secret” documents withheld from the public until recent years by the government of America.

In the 1940s, the FBI raided the home of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who at that time was publicly speaking of the reality of a “Mother Plane,” and seized documents and drawings from the temple describing the wheel.

In 1989, during a press conference in Washington, D.C., Minister Farrakhan detailed a vision-like experience he had on the Wheel where the Honorable Elijah Muhammad revealed to him that then-President Ronald Reagan had met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to plan a war.

During the press conference, Minister Farrakhan spoke of the Mother Plane, adding, “Before you will be able to establish your mockery of me … for what was revealed to me in the Wheel you will see these wheels.

Or what you call UFOs, in abundance over the major cities of America and the calamities that America is presently experiencing will increase in number and in intensity that you might humble yourselves to the Warning contained in this Announcement.”

Shortly thereafter, television news video footage showed these wheels above Washington, D.C., and they have been seen above cities around the world ever since.

Also shortly thereafter, several major publications reported on what was unknown to the public at the time but revealed by Minister Farrakhan during his press conference—that President Reagan had met with his Joint Chiefs of Staff to plan a war that Minister Farrakhan later came to learn was against a Muslim nation, then identified as Libya.

Allah (God) raises messengers in a nation to spare that nation from His judgment. History is replete with such messengers and warnings—from Noah to Abraham to Lot to Moses to Jesus. The Holy Qur’an speaks of each of these divine men, but also prophets not mentioned in the Bible by name—Hud, Salih, and Muhammad (peace be upon him).

These prophets appealed to arrogant kings, pharaohs and rulers to turn from their wicked ways because their “term” in the world was coming to an end. They appealed to the people to heed the message so their lives could be spared.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because they ignored the warning. Noah’s people realized the truth of the prophet’s teaching when a flood consumed them. God’s Judgment of Nineveh was delayed because the ruler and the people heeded Prophet Jonah’s appeal. Pharaoh died, but the people of Moses lived because they obeyed the message.

Are these narratives in scripture just stories to entertain us today, or are they prophetic teachings to warn a future ruler living in what scriptures call “the last days?”

Today’s equivalent of a king or pharaoh would be a president. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that the “Mystery Babylon” spoken of in the Bible is a description of America. Minister Farrakhan has warned that Allah (God) is present today to set down the rulers of the world in order that Allah’s (God’s) Kingdom can be established.

“And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.” –Revelation 17:5 KJV

“I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.”—Revelation 17:6 NIV

President Trump presides over the Mystery Babylon that the Bible says has become an abomination that He plans to destroy for her treatment of His “holy people,” the real Children of Israel who have suffered more than 400 years in a land not their own—the Black man and woman of America.

The Bible says to the Black man and woman, “come out of her My people” so we may not suffer the Wrath of Allah (God) on America for ignoring the warning.

President Trump can still delay God’s Judgment on America and extend her term by giving justice to His people, teaches the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. But time is quickly running out.
