“Aaron was given a hard time by the people after Moses left.”

(The Honorable Elijah Muhammad speaking of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in 1971.)

Why do we celebrate, or at least observe, anniversaries? As the month of August was ending, I thought, in a somewhat deeper way, of a very significant event, that occurred 26 years ago and its implications for the future. It was the rise and the stand of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. This occurred during the first or second week of September 1977.

Minister Farrakhan’s rise was the fulfillment of what was written of him, according to the scriptures. So, if you see his person, rise, teaching and work in the light of the proper interpretation of the scriptures, you see him properly–or as he is.

I’ve witnessed, in this column for years, that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad knew–from the early 1930s onward–that one day he would meet a man who would fully be to him, as Aaron was to Moses; as Paul was by Jesus; as Ali and certain other of Muhammad’s followers were by him–and at a certain point, grow to become even closer to him than those chief disciples were to those worthy servants of Allah.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was taught the proper interpretation of the scriptures by his Teacher, Master Fard Muhammad. These books contain the description of Minister Farrakhan and the work he was to do, as his chief helper after God Himself.

As the Honorable Elijah Muhammad became wiser to the truth of himself, he became wiser in the knowledge of the man who would be this special helper to him. The truth of this helper came to him in more than one way–all divine. For example, realizing that he was the man like Moses, it was not hard for him to read the characteristics of the man who would be to him as Aaron was to Moses, in the scriptures.

He prayed for this particular helper, as it was written he would do. Then, in his Saviour’s Day speech of 1954, he said that, “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.”

One year later, in celebration of Saviour’s Day 1955, that “helper” was in the audience. By a prior arrangement that would allow him to recognize this man, whom he knew, by the word of Allah, was the one he was expecting, he recognized this “helper” on first sight, just as he recognized his Teacher on first sight in September of 1931. Remember, he was much wiser in 1955 than in 1931.

He verbally gave him the essence of his assignment, while looking directly at him, in the presence of the audience, who was not to understand the significance back then. That would come many years later. From that year on, Minister Farrakhan has been doing his assignment, which he was born to do.

We cannot learn what we’re born to do trying to be someone else. Jealousy and envy stunts our growth. None can really develop, divinely, while filled with these spiritual diseases,  because today,  to learn who you are means to learn your divinity.

Minister Farrakhan is leading us all into a period of fasting and praying, symbolized in the scriptures as the putting on of “sack cloth and ashes.”

He is urging us to heed the warnings of the Holy Qur’an (Bible, too) of a time when “no excuse … will avail …”; “nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance).” It’s a day when “they will not be allowed to make amends.” On that day “their excuse shall not profit” them “nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.” No “apology, on that day will” be accepted “nor will they be excused.” [30:56, 57, depending on translation.]

To avert this for ourselves, we must heed  The Final Call,  issued by Minister Farrakhan on God’s authority.

The Holy Qur’an often says that Allah says, without reservation, that at the end He will judge between us to resolve all disputes, differences and the like. We’ve been living in that day, since the early ’30s. All have that chance to understand His truths and get on His right side. Then He comes again to finally judge how we took the wisdom of His judgment. We’re all but there.

“We today, 6,000 years from the beginning of this world, are disputing with one another on who is who and what is what. But the wisest step taken to put an end to this disputing was taken by God, Himself, in the words: ‘Accept your own and be yourself.’ ” (Message to the Blackman)

This wisdom serves as a major key to ending every kind of dispute and would make it easier for us to learn our talents, grow and, at the same time, help each other in this regard–which is our divine duty. This wisdom also enables us to learn from the example–divinely given in Minister Farrakhan–how to discover our talents, use and develop them.

Bluntly, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has said that if we couldn’t understand him, we would not understand, even if God spoke to us. As a people, we blew it!

Before he left, he prepared Minister Farrakhan to sit in his seat. One day, he told him that only Allah could have made him to put the teachings together, in the way that he did and that Allah made him (the Minister) for him. He was made for us, too. Only the ungrateful deny this.

Now, after 40 years of his teacher’s work, and 26 years of Minister Farrakhan’s work, none can say we don’t understand God’s truth and will for us today.

Minister Farrakhan was guided to institute Saviour’s Day, honoring his teacher and his teacher’s Teacher. He calls both these days: Saviours’ Day. Through this, he is also teaching us who we are and is calling us to our calling.

We are to use our talents as saviours; build a nation under divine guidance and to help others earth-wide into God’s supreme wisdom and righteousness, to build a new heaven and a new earth, which will last forever. This process has already begun and is being guided by Him, Who cannot be overcome.

You are not the bad things that happened to you. You are what you are in terms of your nature, which you cannot change. You cannot become who you are without divine guidance, especially now that God is present, any more than you can walk in the day and ignore the sun.

Minister Farrakhan’s STUDY GUIDES can help us really benefit from the LESSONS and the overall revelation of the Messiah–the Honorable Elijah Muhammad– who is very much physically alive, well and in power!

The Holy Qur’an tells us: “they killed him not … but he was made to appear to them as such.” Allah lifted him up into His presence and “there is none of the people of the book but will believe this before his death.” Whose death?

For a fuller explanation of “his death” see page 43 of  Is It Possible That The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Is Still Physically Alive???  and/or the next issue, Allah willing.

The post We are to use our talents as saviours appeared first on Final Call News.

The TV-movie and documentaries, which were aired last month (November) on Jesus, were, to me, somewhat odd. Normally, at this time of the year, movies and documentaries on Jesus are reserved for December, when what is called the anniversary of his birth is celebrated.

The ones I saw last month centered on the subject of the persons, groups, conditions and the circumstances involved in, and leading to, his death. His resurrection in each portrayal was short and superficial. Particular attention was given to the motives of those involved in his murder. One documentary even went so far as to examine Jesus’ own motives for placing himself in the position to be assassinated.

The New Testament devotes more space to Jesus’ return than to his first appearance. Now, if he were to reappear with the kind of power we’ve been taught that he had, what kind of businesses and institutions would he bring to an end? What new ones would replace them? Why these questions?

If Jesus was God, as many believe, and as we drew ever closer to the time of his return or arrival, universal changes would occur. All current things would begin to die out, as distinct signs of His near arrival. However, this process would greatly speed up when He actually arrived. That’s written.

So what does this have to do with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s answer to my question of the 104 books that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad studied under the guidance of his Teacher; Minister Farrakhan’s identity; your ministry and the end of envy, which ended my last article?

Everything!

How did the Honorable Elijah Muhammad recognize Master Fard Muhammad’s identity? He recognized the correspondence between the person and words of Master Fard Muhammad, as he looked at and listened to Him, and the Bible’s prophecies of such a man as the one he beheld. Of course, He was deeply involved in this process.

The very first words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to his Teacher were: “You are the One Whom the Bible’s prophets foresaw coming along about this time, about 2,000 years after Jesus, or the Son of Man.”

The very first words Master Fard Muhammad spoke to His servant were: “Yes, I am the One. But who else knows this but yourself?”

That was the night of September 22, 1931.

Twenty-three years and five months later, on the day of February 26, 1955, he recognized Minister Louis Farrakhan on first sight, without the Minister having said one word! We’ll look at his first words to Minister Farrakhan later, in which he was given the very essence of his future work.

Jesus’ identity was intricately involved in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s first meeting with his Teacher. So, too, is your identity and ministry thoroughly tied to the identity of Jesus.

The arrival and the identity of Master Fard Muhammad and the significance of His meeting with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is most difficult to get Black people to understand and accept. The hardest thing for Black people (of America) to accept about the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is the fact that he met and was commissioned by God Himself. Yet, this is the most important fact about him. The hardest part of his message for Black people to take concerns Jesus. Yet, that is the part, which if understood, would awaken them at once.

Here is one way he put it: “After Master Fard Muhammad taught me, I saw quickly that this man’s (Jesus) history was the world’s most misrepresented and misunderstood. I do believe that, if my poor blind, deaf and dumb people could be taught the true knowledge of the true history of Jesus, they would awaken at once.”

This compound problem of getting us to really understand this is tied to every problem Black people now have. Yet, the truth of the identities of the Jesus of 2,000 years ago; God Himself; the Messiah; Minister Farrakhan and us, are at the root of the solution of every problem we (Black people) have or will have.

This is the awesome task that Minister Farrakhan has been working on, especially since 1977: the resurrection of an entire nation in a world under the judgment of God Almighty–a world which opposes him 100 percent.

Now, who is Minister Farrakhan?

Whatever your view is of his identity, how do you know it is true? What is the relevance of his identity to you? Who are you? How do you know? How do you know your self-view is true? How do you know that he is who you say he is and who you think you are? Are Minister Farrakhan’s identity and your self-concept important to Allah? Why? How is Minister Farrakhan’s identity and your identity related in the eyes of God? Have you ever thought of these questions and their answers? Why, or why not?

What does the word “identity” mean? Have you ever lost your wallet with those things called your “identification?” How were you affected? Have you ever had your identity misused by another? How did that affect you? In each case, how were those close to you affected by the lost and/or the misuse of those things that are called your identity?

Does the truth of your identity go deeper than your driver’s license; social security card; passport; marriage license; bankcard; birth certificate; school records; baptismal certificate; military discharge papers; some medical records and whatever else you lost?

Suppose you bumped your head and became an amnesia patient. Suppose this incident occurred to you somewhere far from those you know. How would you be able to identify yourself? Would public ads informing those who know you help? What of fingerprint records; DNA records; dental records, etc.?

Contributing identification factors to help identify you may well include: tattoos, vaccine records, blood type, involving rare diseases, surgical scars, etc.

Alright, suppose you were helped to regain your memory and to reconnect you with those who know you, and you even got back all of your “ID” materials, would that answer the question: Who are you?

Minister Farrakhan’s teacher said, in a Theology of Time speech: “If you can’t take less, how can you take more?” Jesus said something similar, according to the gospels.

We’re going into the simpler aspects of Minister Farrakhan’s identity to get to ours. If we reject the lesser facts, we’ll not ever grasp the greater. Then, we’ll be as those who will say: “O Allah, why have you raised me up blind when I used to see?”

Minister Farrakhan has been by his teacher as Aaron was by Moses; as Paul was by Jesus–and then some. This is far deeper than mere comparisons or analogies. We are dealing with fulfilled prophecies. Minister Farrakhan is fulfilling things you have read, or should have read, in the scriptures! So are you! So are others!

His answer to my question of the 104 books deal with “identity.”

Ponder this from “Message to the Blackman” by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad: “It is Allah’s (God’s) will and purpose that we shall know ourselves. Therefore, He came Himself to teach us the knowledge of self. Who is better knowing of who we are than God, Himself?”

Now, consider the fact that there are more copies of the Bible in America than any other book. More copies of it are given away each year than any other book. Despite that it remains, year in and out, America’s best seller.

Its position among books in Christian America is the most prestigious. Indeed, it is regarded as containing the spiritual, moral, and to a large degree, the cultural heritage of the Western world. It occupies the position of honor during the most solemn occasions. For instance, it is used in swearing in government officials, during weddings and burials. It is used in courtrooms and in many other important situations.

Despite its seemingly honorable position, it is a very disrespected volume. Christians argue and fight over its meaning. In many situations, the best of its spiritual and moral precepts are considered out of date, or at best, is paid mere lip service.

If you are seen with the Bible in public, other than close to, or during “church” hours, you are regarded as a bit odd, in spite of the increased interest in Biblical studies. Indeed, in this “modern” world most people seem to care little about the Bible’s contents and its real message.

White Christians have made great claims for the Bible. However, they don’t seem to use it when dealing with the numerous problems which beset America. Though they claim it contains God’s own wisdom, they don’t use it, so it seems, when framing legislation in places (such as the capital in Washington, D.C), where they pray, supposedly, to the God of the Bible. Yet, as mentioned above, the Bible appears to be the most honored book in America. This is an interesting contradiction.

In terms of its widespread use, and the White man’s claim to divinity, and their claim to be in direct contact with God, the Bible should be the best known and understood book in this Christian country. But is it? In terms of its real meaning, and its relevance to our times and problems, it is the least understood and appreciated of all books in this land, but with the exception of the Holy Qur’an.

How do we reconcile the unusual wide distribution and use of a book so poorly comprehended? Bluntly, part of the answer lies in the fact that the versions (so widely distributed) were written by God’s enemies. Therefore, the real truth it contains (from God’s view) has actually been concealed from the public, until recently. The rest of the answer is contained in God’s purpose in permitting His enemies the freedom to do with His words as they pleased for until today.

This answer paves the way towards understanding the explosive significance of the historical Jesus for us today. Why the paradox, or the split mind White Christians have about Jesus and the Bible, touched upon above? What will we find at the root of the answer to these questions?

To the question of why the Bible is the leading selling book in America, many Christians would probably give an answer, which contains Jesus at its center. They would say Jesus is the answer. From the Christian point of view, Jesus is the central figure in the scriptures. They are right. They claim that the entire Old Testament tells of his significance and of his second coming. Again, they are right.

How do we reconcile the unusual wide distribution and use of a book so poorly comprehended? Bluntly, part of the answer lies in the fact that the versions (so widely distributed) were written by God’s enemies.

No less a scholar than Will Durant has observed, that despite all the criticism of the scriptures … :

“… the outlines of life, character, and teaching of Christ remain reasonably clear, and constitutes the most fascinating feature in the history of Western man.”

What is so fascinating about Jesus on whom White people have placed the title, “Christ”? This “fascination” is manifested in many ways. For example, Irvine Wallace has recently come out with another “best seller” entitled,  The Word.  In it he wrote:

“Some years ago, the top newspapermen in this country were polled by a leading public opinion firm. They were asked to speculate on what story, within the realm of scientifi c possibility or beyond it, could be the biggest story of this century. There were but many varied answers. Some newspapermen voted for the discovery of a cure of cancer. Others voted for a treatment that could enable human beings to live to the age of one hundred. Yet others voted for the landing on earth of creatures from another planet, or our reaching another planet and finding civilized life on it. Some voted for a day when the United States of the World was announced as a reality. But do you know what the  majority  of the newspapermen voted as the biggest possible story of our time? They voted for the Second Coming.

“If Jesus Christ returned to our earth in person, in the flesh, if He proved the Resurrection a reality tomorrow–if He came down amongst us tomorrow–that, those reporters voted, would be the biggest story of our time.”

Of course, Mr. Wallace’s book was fiction. It contains, however, many truths. Again, the point the reader is asked to think over is the fact that the Biblical Jesus occupies a larger place in the thinking of Americans than most actually realize, or would care to admit. It is in the nature of this thinking, a great deal of which is “subconscious,” where we will come to see the root and nature of this “fascination” with Jesus. It is here where we will also see into the reason for the seeming “split-minded” attitude of White Christians towards Jesus and the Bible.

In a book published in 1963, entitled, A New Look At The Bible Tradition, Mr. Louis V. Bischoff wrote:

“According to what some call ‘orthodox’ Christian view and doctrine, the four Gospels contain the ‘good news’ or ‘glad tidings’ that God visited the human race on this planet IN PERSON, much as a Sultan, in lowly disguise and masquerade, might mingle with his subjects for an hour or two. The word ‘gospel,’ as most of us are aware, literally means ‘good news,’ the eminently good tale or tidings of God’s visit.

“The theory that God visited this lonely planet is a very engaging one, and if true, would be of truly momentous import for all of us. And doubts that we might entertain regarding (1) God’s existence, (2) God’s genuine interest in us, (3) God’s goodness, and (4) God’s provision for the immortality of our personalities, would vanish at one full swoop. It would be the be-all and end-all of all of our doubts.”

The coming or visit of God to His people is no theory. He has come; just as the Bible and the Holy Qur’an predicted or prophesied that He would come. This fact is “of truly momentous import for all of us.”

This is GOOD NEWS!

By means of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Almighty God has provided us with the greatest opportunity imaginable. This has been expressed by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, many times over the years. In a 1959 article he titled, THE OPPORTUNITY, he wrote:

“We have the greatest opportunity of any nation of the past, but this opportunity is on condition that we accept Allah (God) and His Religion of Islam (Peace) which was the religion of His Prophets, including Jesus. Islam offers love, unity, friendship, wealth, inking with it wisdom, knowledge, and understanding … .”

I’m making the below bold and in black. Why?

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan his assignment when he first saw him. He has not changed his view of him from that time to now … .

In this article and the last three, I’m bearing witness to the truth of the very special experience the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan had on September 17, 1985. The ramifications of his experience are worldwide and have a bearing on eternity. I’m not exaggerating. At the end of this series of articles that bear on his experience, I’ll explain in short, simple and clear words, why I used the word “eternity.”

Another factor making this event so striking was that there was a heavy cloud cover over the city (Tucson, Arizona). Therefore, there was no way that these flying objects could be mistaken for 60 moving stars, all going in the same direction. As we all know, clouds block one’s view of the stars. A total cloud cover blocks out all of one’s ability to see stars, if you are on the ground. These were not flying objects with which the authorities could cope. These were, according to trained observers, “UFOs,” and they were obviously flying under the clouds.

These “UFOs” generated excitement. Later I learned that there were local (in Tucson) radio interviews and several news programs, which were generated by this awesome event. However, it seemed that this startling display of intelligence and power was generally kept from the country as a whole.

Minister Farrakhan and I wondered, if we were being escorted, by the “baby” planes. Remember, there was a lot of evil and loud talk–especially from the Jewish community, and from the very highest government officials of the United States–about Minister Farrakhan. I took these planes to be Allah’s way of showing them that the Minister had plenty of backup.

Later on in this writing I wrote:

Four years after Minister Farrakhan received his more than a vision experience; he fully came to see that he had yet to hold that press conference which the Honorable Elijah Muhammad wanted him to hold in Washington, D.C. This realization was stimulated by four events, which over a four-month period, in 1989, crystallized for him his decision.

Two of these events were the death of Congressman Mickey Leland (of Texas) and the other involved the traumatic events at Tiananmen Square in China.

What was referred to in America’s press, as the Beijing Massacre at Tiananmen Square, began on June 4, 1989.

Representative Mickey Leland died in an airplane crash, in Gambela, Ethiopia, on August 7, 1989.

Minister Farrakhan was in Phoenix, in 1989, when these two events occurred. I noticed that both of these events seemed to have momentarily aged him as he wrestled with their meanings. He told me he knew both had something to do with him. He was in a strained state of mind as he pondered the significance of these events. The latter event, he said, had more to do with our people–especially Black youth–and yet in some way with him. But he did not know how.

After returning to Chicago, a phone call from Minister Don Muhammad of Boston, would take him further into a growing, or heightened awareness that something was going on that was big, in the biggest sense of that word. Minister Don Muhammad informed him of a gang problem in which they sought his help. He was told that the gang members were being pressured to give up their weapons. They said they would, but only if Minister Farrakhan would tell them to do so. His response was that he had not ordered them to pick them up in the first place. However, he later gave them wise and righteous advice, based on the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, whose policies are known the world over.

Not long after he hung up the phone he was struck by what it all meant.

Out of Minister Farrakhan’s understanding of the significance of these events, he made a series of extraordinary speeches. They were titled “Stop The Killing.” Among the most powerful of these talks he would make was a stupendous one, which enlightened and warned Black youth as to what the slave-master’s children were up to and were planning against them and us.

Lastly in September, came the fourth event, which would lead to a most profound event, fulfilling a major part of what he was ordered to do, by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in his vision-like experience.

A Sister telephoned him to congratulate him on his anniversary. He thought her congratulations referred to the 35th anniversary of his marriage to his wife, Mother Khadijah, which was earlier that month on September the 12th. In the course of the conversation he came to see that she had the anniversary of his vision-like experience in mind. The call caused him to reflect over that experience and the course of events since that time.

(It then crystallized for him and we have benefited from his experience.)

Minister Farrakhan decided to hold a press conference in the next month; on the day following the Saviours’ Day conference in October (1989). He returned to Phoenix. Part of his preparation for this momentous event involved the preparation of his press statement. Minister Farrakhan decided to dictate the entire text, in my home, on the Friday prior to the Tuesday when he would deliver it at the press conference. Sister Marguerite X McCray did the typing.

About an hour after the text was typed and proofed, he and I headed for the airport to catch a plane for the East Coast. We went to New York City.

On the next afternoon, as we neared the capital, through a circuitous route, these words from his vision-like experience came forcibly to my mind: “With great speed it brought me back to earth and dropped me off near Washington where I then proceeded into this city to make the Announcement.” I then thought back to the trip we had made a little better than three years earlier the day before he made his statement to the press on February 4, 1986. We had also landed at that time just outside of the capital due to fog, as I explained earlier. I thought to myself, “That experience pointed to this one. This Saviours’ Day is a cover for this press conference.”

I voiced this thought to Minister Farrakhan.

The fact was that we were about to go to a place (arranged for by Minister Akbar Muhammad) “nearby or close to Washington, D.C.” We were about to “land” so to speak, just as he did in his vision-like experience, “near Washington.” It was quite a feeling.

I had a copy of the text of the statement that he dictated to Sister Marguerite just the day before. I was with him, continuously, from that time until he delivered it to the public; before the media on that Tuesday. The point of this is that I am a witness to the fact that he did not change one word of the text he dictated, from the previous Friday, when he dictated it, to the following Tuesday when he delivered it.

This is related to the profound correspondence between something he dictated in his statement for the press and an event which was a definite confirmation of the announcement that he had made to the press. It involved what many call “UFOs.”

Minister Farrakhan did not know how God would confirm his statement, in the ordinary way we obtain information. As we’ll see in a moment, from his prepared statement to the press, Minister Farrakhan declared:

“Before you will be able to establish your mockery of me (if that is what you wish to do) for what was revealed to me in the Wheel, you will see these wheels… .”

The post Bearing witness to Minister Farrakhan’s divine guidance and powerful backup appeared first on Final Call News.

Among the many valuable contributions The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has made to the rise of our people, were/are study guides, based on an address he made in Phoenix, Arizona, titled: “Self-Improvement: the Basis For Community Development.”

Not one of us who are serious about the rise of Black people should be without at least one of these study guides. If we are to take full advantage of what God guided Minister Farrakhan to produce, in these study guides, and if we are fulfilling the part of Surah (Chapter) 75 in the Holy Qur’an where the rise of God’s people is described, then we must face our weaknesses and then by the help of Allah, drive through them to the strength which is part of our birthright.

Minister Farrakhan has been divinely made an example for all of us. Let us take advantage of the blessing that Almighty God Allah and His Christ have provided for us in Minister Farrakhan, before the fall–the crashing down on our heads–of this world.

In these articles and books that I’ve written, I have attempted to point to something of the vastness of the divine love, wisdom and power that is backing Minister Farrakhan. It is this divine support that has made him a winner at every critical turn as he has struggled to lift the name and rebuild the work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Just think of where he, and we were in 1977, when he stood up in the public, in a dark and dangerous hour, and announced his intention to do what he has done. What were the qualities of head and heart, with which Minister Farrakhan faced all kinds of opposition to what he intended to do? Remember, the opposition included the most powerful force the White race ever produced– the United States Government, which was directly involved up to its wicked neck, in the destruction of that which the Minister was determined to rebuild. As stated earlier, take a look into dictionaries and carefully study the definitions of the 99 names of Allah.

These names point to the qualities that comprise His nature. Out of His nature He speaks and acts. Out from Himself Allah produced the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for us and humanity at large. Look into the qualities of the nature of God and you’ll see them at work in Minister Louis Farrakhan, back in 1977 and now, as he goes about his work. A divine work, done by a divine man, requires divine qualities.

Minister Farrakhan started with nothing but a heart full of love and a head full of faith in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and in the truth of his teachings. Day by day, week by week, month by month, that grew into years, this kind, loving, strong Black man forged ahead with an ever growing number of poor helpers to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Remember, no Black group has come back from the United States government’s destruction of it, except the Nation of Islam. It has come out through the release of government documents, that the United States government tried every dirty trick on the Nation of Islam that they successfully used to destroy other governments. They failed. However, the Nation of Islam fell from within. However, it is back.

This is stated to emphasize that Minister Farrakhan, despite his brilliance, could not have done what he has done without the kind of love and faith that he has. Deeper than that, he could not have succeeded without the direct help of the living God and His Christ. It is not enough for us to see him as a great man. We must see him as he is, a great man, made great, who continues marching on the right path, the straight path, because of the nonstop flow of guidance from the Supreme Being and His Christ.

If you mentally disconnect him from God, you can’t see him properly. Then you cannot benefit from his work as you should or could. If you don’t mentally connect him, to God, you are bound to stumble and fall. The Minister is more than just connected to the word of God. He is rooted in the word of God. He is absolutely an integral part of the “story” line, or the narrative of your Bible. To continue to be ignorant of this reality is to be headed for a fall. This is not to say that we cannot get up. However, such a fall could be fatal. Again, to disconnect yourself, or to fail to learn the relationship of Minister Farrakhan to Christ and the God of creation, is to disconnect yourself from a major aspect of reality, at the very least, or from God, the Source of reality at worst.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to me, that the Holy Qur’an was/is his root. I later learned that he also pointed this fact out to others. Then I came to see that this fact also applies to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. This is not hard to see.

President Trump and his advisors would do well to really get acquainted with Minister Farrakhan. In fact, all of the scholars of America would do their country a great service to really learn the truth of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. This would open the doors to what the Nation of Islam is all about and then some. The problems in this country are so staggering, so huge that it takes insight far superior to what can be gained in the dying educational system in America. Without God’s light no one can see, much less walk, out of this quagmire.

I recall that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote in a public article that there were persons paid, by this government, just to “ … study the problem of prophecy.” By now they ought to know what is, what am and who is who. Why not meet with Minister Farrakhan and discuss it all. You will find him open, intelligent and very informative, as you already know.

Now, we are peeping behind the veil, symbolized by the veil or curtain King Solomon placed in the Temple (a sign of the earth). A full view of what is behind the veil won’t come until a certain time, when a little is opened up.

Please read the 4th and 5th chapter of the 66th Book of the Bible; the Book of Revelation. There we read of a change to occur at the end of the time of the wicked, which also marks a change of the powers of heaven. The change of the powers on earth is forced with force, due to the desire of the wicked to unjustly remain in power. The change in heaven, that we read of in Revelation, chapters 4 and 5, is peaceful.

These are changes of the most significant kind. A man was seen sitting on a throne. The scene is in heaven. According to the book of Revelation, in the 4th verse of the 4th chapter we read: “In a circle around the throne were 24 other thrones, on which were seated 24 elders dressed in white and wearing crowns of gold.” After additional more aspects of this heavenly scene are described, “ … the 24 elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne, and worshipped him who lived forever and ever.” They threw their crowns down in front of the throne and said, “Our Lord God! You are worthy to receive victory, honor, and power. For you created all things, and by your will they were given existence and life.”

The post Minister Farrakhan: A man connected to the divine light of God appeared first on Final Call News.

“And your Lord says: ‘Pray to Me, I will answer you. Those who disdain My service will surely enter hell, abased.’ ”   -Holy Qur’an 40:60

What the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan speaks and acts from and urges all to acquire is certain knowledge, not theories. He teaches what he does from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who received what he did from God, Himself.

Theories are like conjectures, opinions, speculations, assumptions, presumptions, beliefs, suppositions and guesses. None of these will ultimately help the Original and poor people of the world up out of their condition of ignorance, illness, misery and poverty.

Only supreme truth today will resolve the problems of humanity. That supreme wisdom was brought to America and taught to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Furthermore, Minister Farrakhan was divinely made to carry on this divine message throughout the world.

Certainly, this sounds bombastic, childish, crazy, overly simplistic, naive and unsophisticated in the extreme. However, that is what the scriptures say would be said of this truth.

But billions believe that at the end of this wicked world that God is to come and take over the rule of this world and destroy it. This will happen after He first gives everyone the opportunity to accept or reject His truth that He revealed to a special servant of His. The nature of the weather is a major factor forcing the realization of the Presence of God on an increasing number of people.

In a little magazine of some of his articles that was published in 1956, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad stated that Master Fard Muhammad alone taught him, and that He continues to reveal His truth to him, “although to some it is unbelievable; but search your Scriptures and you will find that they verify that which you read in this book–that which Allah (God) has revealed to me.” We can read his words in his books obtainable from The Final Call.

Now, when we say this verifies that, we are saying that what is doing the work of the verification is not necessarily dependent on that which verifies. This is not the general use of the word “verify.” However, when distinguished from its synonyms, verify implies: “The established correspondence of the actual facts or details to those that are given in an account or statement. When what is in question is a suspicion, a fear or a probability, it can be verified only in the result, event or fulfillment.” This definition, of the special implication of the word verify, is from Webster’s New Dictionary of Synonyms.

The God today verified the words of the prophets with His servant and by fulfilling them in our faces.

Certainly, many have said and written that they don’t like what Minister Farrakhan teaches. But they have not and cannot prove it to be false. When they try to explain these teachings, they must use outright lies or words that camouflage their dislike for God’s truths and the defective reasoning. When forced to explain the basis upon which they stand, in their attempt to refute Minister Farrakhan’s presentation of God’s truths from His Messiah, they cannot. Why? A lie can only be told, not explained!

“Such then is Allah, your true Lord. And what is there after the truth but error? How then are you turned away!” (Holy Qur’an10:32)

“Many of the people of the Book wish that they could turn you back into disbelievers after you have believed, out of envy from themselves, after truth has become manifest to them. But pardon and forgive, till Allah bring about His command. Surely Allah is Possessor of power over all things.” (Holy Qur’an 2:109)

What brings on the darkness that just precedes or introduces the darkest hour? Is it envy?

Surah 113:3 of the Holy Qur’an refers to this dark period as “the evil of intense darkness.” In this dark time, evil people will cast “evil suggestions in firm resolutions” as they never have before then. So will envy.

Minister Farrakhan’s Study Guide Number 13 teaches us to make Allah the center of our lives in this ever darkening time and for us to seek refuge in the Lord of men, the King of men, the God of men, “from the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (devil), who whispers into the hearts of men, from among the jinn and the men.” (Holy Qur’an 113)

Minister Farrakhan is, as many of us refer to him, a divine reminder. He is a divine reminder of divine warnings, such as the following prophecy of Jesus.

At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps, but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

“‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

“Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’ But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” (Matthew 25:1-13)

The Amplified Bible verse 13 reads: “Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come.”

The Holy Qur’an has the following in it, which reminds me of the above passage of Matthew: “On that day thou wilt see the faithful men and the faithful women, their light gleaming before them and on their right hand. Good news for you this day!–Gardens wherein rivers flow, to abide therein! That is the grand achievement.

“On the day when the hypocrites, men and women, will say to those who believe: ‘Wait for us, that we may borrow from your light. It will be said: Turn back and seek a light. Then a wall, with a door in it, will be raised between them. Within it shall be mercy, and outside of its chastisement.

“They will cry out to them: Were we not with you? They will say: Yea, but you caused yourselves to fall into temptation, and you waited and doubted, and vain desires deceived you, till the threatened punishment of Allah came, and the arch-deceiver deceived you about Allah.” (57: 12-14)

Remember, Moses asked Allah to provide him with his brother, and for Allah to “send him with me as a helper to confirm me.” (Holy Qur’an 30:34)

Confirm “usually implies the removing of all doubts, as by an authoritative statement or by indisputable facts.”

Remember, among other facts, Minister Farrakhan heard his teacher’s voice in a manner that confirmed that he is physically alive!

More, next issue, Allah willing.

The post Hold on to your light to see through the darkness appeared first on Final Call News.

This article was written immediately after the last one, which was written earlier today (June 13^th) and after the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered Part II of The Guide and the Guidance.

Let me explain. I was very enthused. But I was also sad because of the many who partly heard him or didn’t hear him at all. His ending contained a very serious warning and he seemed to be ending a critical series of speeches that began with his Saviours’ Day speech in February. I thought of others who may never hear this critical talk (and those leading to this one.) 

Urge all to get and listen to these critical series of speeches of Minister Farrakhan as fast as possible.

After I “finished” both articles, I felt that since they won’t appear, until weeks after today’s speech, Allah willing, they may help some get the tape or others may carefully re-listen to it.

By the way, there’s much talk of Alzheimer’s disease but not much of its connection with aluminum and its relation to the problem of forgetfulness. Why?

In making an excellent point in his speech today, Minister Farrakhan cited an experience I had on an airplane about five or six years ago.

I had another similar experience in a public place about four months ago. I was in a long line of customers. I was reading a book. There was a white woman who was about five customers ahead of me. I noticed that she kept turning her neck around looking in my direction. The line was moving slowly. I kept reading.

Finally, she got out of the line and took a few steps toward me. She asked, “What are you reading?” I turned the book up so that she could see the front cover. Her face began to turn red as a beet. She abruptly turned around and got back in her place in line. She said nothing more to me. I said nothing at all.

The book’s title was Rogue Nation. Between the two words composing the book’s title, is the American flag shaped according to the boundaries of the United States. At the top in much smaller print is: American Unilateralism and the Failure of Good Intentions. At the bottom in small print, with reference to the author, are the words, Author of Trading Places. In somewhat larger words is the author’s name, Clyde Prestowitz.

There is smaller print on the back cover of the book on which was written advance praised for this book. Among the “big” names of those who praise this book and urge others–especially those in power–to read it are: Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Adviser and Peter Sutherland, Chairman of Goldman Sachs International, former Director General, World Trade Organization.

On the inside back flap are these words by David Gergen, Director of the Center for Public Leadership, Harvard University, Former White House advisor to presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton. He wrote: “This is a brave book that should be read by all who care about America’s success. A man of impeccable conservative credentials, Clyde Prestowitz directly challenges a new orthodoxy on the right–which the U. S. should aggressively pursue its own interests regardless to what others may think. No one writes with more authority and love of country.” (Emphasis his.)

Three paragraphs down, on the inside flap of its paper cover, are these words: “Rogue Nation is not an argument against American dominance or the exercise of American power. It’s an argument against stupidity, arrogance and ignorance in the exercise of power.”

Even though I had only read the words of a few others, as mentioned above, the publisher’s words on the inside cover flaps and a few pages of his book, it was clear to me that Clyde Prestowitz is an above average intelligent “conservative” white man, who loves America and is doing what he can to warn her.

I don’t know if Prestowitz is among the growing number of Caucasians who know, to an above average degree, the extraordinary value of Minister Farrakhan’s advice to President Bush. Many have known that the Minister is right, but fear to say this publicly, due to fear of being caught up in the most massive disinformation ever waged in history. But an increasing number of Caucasians are publicly agreeing with him—directly and indirectly. Blacks are witnessing this.

David Gergen characterized this book as “a brave book” and that its author “directly challenges a new orthodoxy on the right?” (Emphasis his.)

“Brave” in part, means: “having or showing courage, especially when facing danger, difficulty, or pain; to face the onslaught of something unpleasant with courage and resolution.”

Who did Mr. Prestowitz identify as the “new orthodoxy on the right” whose presence, work and power is such that they should be challenged and that to do so, bravery is required?  Rather than assume, I stopped typing and read beyond page seven (where I had stopped reading) of Mr. Prestowitz’s book.

On page 277, for instance, he points out clearly that the “new orthodoxy on the right” whom he challenged are, broadly speaking, the same group whom Minister Farrakhan has “called out.” But there are significant differences in their knowledge. 

On this critical and complicated subject, Mr. Prestowitz’s knowledge is wide-ranging and comprehensive. He wrote that he interviewed many, read widely and has had broad experience. His solutions, however, won’t solve America’s problems. He did not deal with the root cause of America’s problems–the position and condition of America’s Black people.

Minister Farrakhan’s knowledge, on this same complex subject, is divine. Furthermore, he unfailingly makes clear and unhesitatingly states that the source of his special knowledge is his teacher, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He knows the solution to America’s problems.

The context of Mr. Gergen’s use of the word “brave” reminds me of Minister Farrakhan’s bravery or courage, in the face of his being the target of the greatest and the most massive and sustained disinformation campaign ever launched against any one Black man in America’s history–or anywhere–which thoroughly involves the most powerful government of the past 6,000 years. This year marks the nineteenth consecutive year of a major aspect of this campaign against Minister Farrakhan.

Of course, this campaign is part of the same that has been directed against the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam since the early 1930s–from within and without.

What makes this the greatest disinformation campaign ever is that it’s knowingly designed to defeat the aims and purposes of the Supreme Being. Not all involved in it, however, are aware of its full scope, not to think of its ultimate defeat and destruction. 

Of this evil campaign, the Holy Qur’an states “They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will allow nothing save the perfection of His light …  .” ( 9:32)

Now, what do the following words mean? “… Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. (Psalms 40: 8)

How was God’s law written “within” his heart? When? Who is speaking here? How do you know? If you have an answer, how do you verify it?

More next issue, Allah willing.

The post The courage to face the greatest disinformation campaign appeared first on Final Call News.

.. eight will bear that day thy Lord’s Throne of Power.
Surley, it is the word of an honoured Messenger
… And surely it is the certain Truth.
(Holy Qur’an 69:17, 40, 51)

If one examines the powerful arguments for God’s existence given by the theologians of the major religions, and those of the scientists, who work with the physical aspects of creation, any reasonable person will be convinced that there must be a God. But the Holy Qur’an goes further. Its Author tells the reader that He is the Best Knower. In this book He bears witness to the Truth of Himself and shows that His creation does too. He shows that His own word given to His prophets and messengers is weightiest in testimony and bears Him witness. He declares that everything submits to His will … willingly or unwillingly. The Holy Qur’an presents better arguments than that which the scholars can produce for God’s existence, character and nature. The real understanding of this book has been given to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. But Who is He? Who is God?

A very few have theorized that God might be a man. But The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has proven not just that God must be a man, but that God is Man and Man is God, and that One Man in particular is Supreme over all.

The third part of this testimony refers to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s powers. One of these powers is his ability to take the laws of nature, and the laws of both man and mankind, and show that they bear witness to the truth of what is in his head–his mission, message and program. Such a man, living by what he teaches, which is in accord with the laws of nature, and able to demonstrate such power, obviously knows beyond doubt how he came by such power. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is such a man. He declares to all that he has met with God Himself. In addition, he teaches that God has made known to him His aims, purposes and will. He (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) says that he is not the author of his mission, message and program. Further, he has said time and again that the source of his power to do as was just stated is from the God that he met and was missioned by. Surely a man with such experience would have the utmost certainty of the rightness and goodness of his teachings and work. Wouldn’t you?

Every follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is a witness to the truth about him. We carry this witness in our innermost selves. What is this witness? It is the realization of this truth by means of living by its principles. The power to do this is produced by the teachings and example of the Messenger. He is our example. God is his example. This is what makes a Muslim so sure of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Still, a Brother or Sister may ask, “How can I be sure?” We’ll point to something that most anyone can do at once that will demonstrate the truth of what is said above and be benefited at once.

The Orthodox Jews expected the coming of the Messiah. Most Christians claim that Jesus was the Messiah.

They expect his return. They call this return “the second coming.” The Muslims expected the Mahdi. Examination of what the Jews expect of the Messiah, and what the Christians expect of Jesus, (whom they call the Christ), and what the Muslims expect of the Mahdi, shows that they are either talking about the same man, or three different men coming to do the same thing.

A reading of the scriptures that these three groups use to support their views shows that they either see this expected one in two aspects, or they see him coming at least twice. Moreover, their writings often show that they expect someone to accompany this great One. In fact, there is a blending or a merging of the two so that it is not always easy to tell when they have in mind, one or the other, or both.

(And, don’t forget, the Christians also speak of the coming of the holy ghost or spirit.) Further examination of the scholar’s writings makes clear that they regard the expected one as coming from God, and in most instances a forerunner will precede him. The blending or merging just mentioned in writings of theologians refer to the coming One and His forerunner. In most cases, the Christians call Jesus a god, and yet a man from God. In most instances, the Jews and Muslims refer to the Messiah and the Mahdi as a man from God. Again, if one examines what each group believes their respective Expected One will do, it is clear that He would either have to be the Supreme Being, or a man commissioned directly by Him. Finally, in most cases (in this writer’s limited experience) the scholars of these three groups expect this God or Man, and His forerunner or servant, to close out this old world and bring in a new world. How well have the scholars understood the scriptures before The Honorable Elijah Muhammad began teaching? We can get an idea by observing their students. The students are confused. One will find a lot of confusion in their writings over what we should expect and from how many.

Since these scholars say that they expect the Messiah and Jesus, who is called Christ, and the Mahdi to come, where is He going to come from and where should we expect Him to go? These scholars will have to admit that He will have to come, either from the sky to the earth, or leave one part of the earth and go to some other part of this same planet. Which is it? Where on earth will He arrive? In other words, what country or in what government will He appear?

Most of the theologians agree that He will have a forerunner, or one man, to precede Him. Since He leaves one place, goes somewhere else, it makes sense that the place He goes to is the place where He produces His forerunner or representative. The scholars must accept this, or fall back on the idea that before He leaves to go where He is going, He will make a messenger for that place. This does not make sense.

For instance, if He made His messenger in the place He is leaving, what will He do in the place where He is going? If He makes a forerunner in the place He is leaving, as well as where He is going, this means He will have two messengers. Why would He make two messengers? If He did this, it would be contrary to the way we should expect Him to act in the Last Day. There is no basis in scripture for believing that under any circumstances He would want more than one messenger in the Last Day. So the scholars would probably agree that the God will produce His messenger in the place where He is going. Does this involve the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan? Also does this involve the Bible and the Holy Qur’an?

The post Biblical And Quranic Testimony That God Is A Man appeared first on Final Call News.

“When the souls are sorted out, being joined, like with like …” (Holy Quran 81:7, Yusuf Ali translation)

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan continued: “So the Qur’an backs Jesus up in these words, ‘Set your face for religion being upright.’ Come back to the nature of Abraham—‘set your face for religion being upright’—being righteous, living up to a standard laid down by God, ‘before there comes from Allah that which cannot be averted.’

“What is it that ‘cannot be averted’? It is the judgment of the righteous and the wicked—‘before there comes from Allah that which cannot be averted.’

“And then it says, ‘And on that day they shall be separated.’

“So the talk about ‘we all want unity, we hate this divisiveness’ runs counter to the fact that this is the day when the children of light cannot walk with the children of darkness; those who love good and righteousness cannot walk with those who love wickedness and evil.

“And what is the standard by which we measure right and wrong, truth and falsehood, light and darkness? It is that which God has revealed through the mouth of His prophets—His laws, His statutes and His commandments.

“So if Jesus could say that the first and the greatest commandment is to love God with all of your heart, soul and mind and strength, well think about that kind of love and what that means. If you love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, then you won’t be easily led to disobey God. You will not follow your low desires and make that a god beside God. You won’t allow Satan to make what God has condemned fairseeming to you. If you love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, then you have to look at yourself and see what is it in my own actions and words that the God of righteousness will be displeased with? If I love Him, I’ll get rid of that which is not in His favor.

“The second commandment is like unto it, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The Jesus was not fooled by the questioner who asked, ‘Who is my neighbor?’ He explained that his neighbor was like the one who came from Jerusalem to Jericho and did a good job on the poor man and put oil in his wound. He put the man on his own breast and took him to the innkeeper and told the innkeeper to take care of him.

“So he taught them that they should love like the Good Samaritan, but he ought to love the innkeeper, too. But to love those who beat him in his head, I don’t think so.

“The Christians got this love thing all wrong in saying ‘we don’t love your sin, but we love the sinner.’ God doesn’t make those kinds of distinctions. If you love sin and you are a sinner, then you have to get yourself in the way of God and you make the time to repent and get it together.”

Master Fard Muhammad is fulfilling the prophecy that “the Lord will execute His sentence upon the earth, quickly ending His dealings, justly cutting them short.” The Living Bible Romans (9:28). (“Earth” here symbolizes the wicked.)

The Son of Man is now shortening these times that threaten all life. (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20)

In Galatians (the fourth book after Acts), we read (variously) in different translations that:

“When the fullness of time was come, [when the right time finally came; when the appointed time came; when the term was completed; when the proper time came, the time God decided on] God sent forth His Son born of a woman …”

But remember, as Minister Farrakhan has pointed out, this Son is significantly referred to as the Son of Man.

In connection with this, consider the opening paragraph from the introduction of “Taking Responsibility for the Past” by Janna Thompson:

“History is a tale of unrequited injustice. Treaties have been broken, communities wiped out, cultures plundered or destroyed, innocent people betrayed, slaughtered, enslaved, robbed, and exploited, and no recompense has ever been made to victims or their descendants. Historical injustices cast a long shadow. Their effects can linger long after the perpetrators and their victims are dead. They haunt the memories of descendants, blight the history of peoples, and poison relations between communities. They are the root cause of many existing inequities. Historical grievances have provided people with a justification for enmity, a reason for seeking revenge. They are at the heart of some of the bloodiest struggles and deeds in both historical and contemporary times. For many of the descendants and successors of those who were wronged, they are a motivation for seeking justice—the focus of demand for reparation.”

This is true, within limits, as prior to the making of this wicked world, such evils were not the case. Nevertheless, we must make the effort to understand the history of this evil world to grasp why it and we (Black people) are the way we are.

All ought to know by now (smile) that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad began teaching Black people in this country in the early 1930s that we are of the Original people whose history goes back to the beginning of time. In fact, time began with the first life—a Black man. Trillions of years later, or 50,000 years ago, a Black scientist, who knew our future—and knew the reason or the necessity of what we were to undergo at the hands of the wicked—began to prepare our ancestors.

This preparation for what we were to undergo at the hands of the wicked meant he had to take his family and go down into what is now called Africa. Of course, that part of our earth was not called Africa at that time. The name “Africa” is after a White man. No White man or Caucasian existed 50,000 years ago.

He started a process that, among other things, made us a far tougher people than we were at that time. It involved a 50,000-year fall which became complete during the last 6,000 years—and especially during our enslavement here in America, where we were made a “no people.”

As we proceed, we’ll see that slavery’s effects were embedded in us on the molecular cellular (subatomic) level but the spiritual teachings presented by Minister Farrakhan cures from beneath the subatomic, the very root cause of all of our problems.

As we move deeper into this, there is something Minister Farrakhan shared with me after he saw The Passion of The Christ that’s instructive in understanding the above, him as a human being, his assignment, and our sojourn in America.

The Messiah referred to the Believers as “candidates for the Hereafter.” They must be unlike this world’s candidates for rulership.

Look at Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:42-45; Luke 9:46-49, which teach that this world’s rulers mostly play the big shot, are arrogant and filled with false pride, as they connive and slander (but delude themselves) on their way to what they see as the “top,” which in reality is the bottom! They are of the “tares.” We must get out of “tare-ship” before we’re burned!

Righteous competition for us would include selling this newspaper and Farrakhan’s Saviours’ Day taped speeches and getting our people to our meetings.

More next issue, Allah willing.

The post Candidates for the Hereafter appeared first on Final Call News.

An article, written several decades ago by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad opens with: “The prophecy of the coming of the Son of Man and the days of the Son of Man is almost the whole of the Bible, scriptures, histories and prophecies. The people who read the Bible should understand these things. You should want to read and understand.”

“Should” means, “used to express obligation, duty, propriety, or desirability; used to express expectation or probability; used to express a future condition.” It also means “to plan to; to intend to; to determined or to definitely.”

Far too many of us think and or feel we “should” read our lessons, the scriptures, etc., etc., etc. But look how much time has passed by, while we think and feel that we “should,” read this and that, which we have been urged to read by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. He is well aware that we have many obligations to meet. But are we not in school?

Some of us have read “Closing The Gap “twice. A few, so I am told, three times. Some have read up to page 30 or 125 or 245 or 366 or… some have not purchased a copy yet.

Recently, like many, my attention has been more intense than usual on Minister Farrakhan. I believe I am right in thinking that the attention of those who love Minister Farrakhan was focused, more than ever on him, his significance and his work.

I believe that the minds of those who love him, were riveted on him, especially as he went through major surgery. I believe, many, (or more), were unable to sleep well until we learned that the surgery was “finished” and called “successful.”

Then there were others, who do not love him. They too were aware that he was to have surgery. They were also intensely interested in what he went through.

Now that Minister Farrakhan is past the hurdle of the surgery–thanks to Allah–they are yet intensely interested in his recuperation, as are those who love him. They are also studying us too.

The most important of those interested in Minister Farrakhan’s condition were and are his Backers. Their interest goes well beyond that of observers.

As we all know, one can know a truth, but misspeak or speak or write that truth–not falsely–but poorly. This can result in miscommunication and therefore, misunderstanding.

On the other hand, we know that a person can state or write a truth, using the best or the most appropriate language that clearly expresses a certain truth, yet be misunderstood or even considered foolish. The roots of the miscommunication are different.

Nevertheless, if we really understand Minister Farrakhan and that of which he is a part, the following should not be misunderstood.

I am using the word “really” in the sense of “in reality; in fact; actually; truly or genuinely.”

With that said (or written), Minister Farrakhan represents the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who, in fact, met and was taught in person by the man the Bible refers to, or prophesies of, as the Son of Man.

This truth, Minister Farrakhan’s teacher taught that we, “should want to read and understand.” We are in the time of the judgment of this world. And we are being judged on how well we understand what God Himself brought to and taught to Minister Farrakhan’s teacher–whom he represents.

One of the main things we must know and understand of Minister Farrakhan, is that he has and is being used divinely as Aaron was. God chose Moses to represent Him. He used Aaron to speak the message He gave Moses, when He brought Moses back to Himself for the next lesson.

The very learned of this world’s wicked scientists have and continue to do everything in their power to either outright blind or confuse or make hazy or vague the truth of Minister Farrakhan’s identity.

They are doing this evil work right in the face of the fact that God is plaguing America, just as He plagued Egypt, before He finally destroyed her. These wicked people defy God. They are something like an extraordinarily wicked person, who has kidnapped someone’s children and when absolutely exposed and trapped, “I’m taking your children into hellfire or total destruction with me.”

They continue to deceive the children, into believing that they are really the best of those who care or can do for them.

The television is one of the primary places–right in our homes– where we could see this evil drama going on all around us, in every sector of America. I say, “drama” because Minister Farrakhan is fighting them with his teacher’s wisdom and is being backed by Them.

For about twenty-nine and a half years, absent the physical presence of his teacher, Minister Farrakhan has worked at what might be called an inhuman pace to spread the only key or instrument or teaching that will save the lives of Black people, in particular, and the poor, mistreated and deceived of this land in general.

And now, he is in the process of summoning his considerable powers that the Almighty has blessed him with, from a hospital bed, to meet us in Detroit, Mich., where he intends to deliver “THE FINAL CALL.”

In so doing, Minister Farrakhan is demonstrating, (what he has taught to us all), that which is the only attitude that will enable any of us to cope with or manage or deal with these days of the closing down of Satan’s world. We’re in the wrap up of this world. We’ve entered the most troublesome times humans have ever faced or experienced since time began. By the help of Allah, we hope to be delivered from it. But having the right attitude or the only attitude that is pleasing to Allah is critical.

That attitude was summarized by Paul, in Philippians 4: 11-12, “… I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation … .” (New International Version)

These words are amplified by Minister Farrakhan in “Closing The Gap” wherein, we clearly read what constitutes the perfect attitude. Minister Farrakhan’s attitude is the model after which we should pattern ours, who, regardless to the situation, condition and circumstance, remains the example for us to follow.

As Minister Farrakhan is fulfilling that which was written of him, as he continues to cast an exceedingly clear and bright light on what we too, are fulfilling; in our persons; on that which surrounds us, throughout America and the world–because of his teacher’s wisdom and the unequal guidance of the Great Mahdi–which he accepts 100%, 100% of the time.

Let’s end this article with this. What does the word “attitude” mean? Can you define it right now? Why not, since we use this word very often.

Among the most important words Jesus spoke to his disciples, during what was called the Last Supper were: “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.” And“… love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:9, 12)

To what extent does this define Minister Farrakhan’s attitude? Can you prove it? How? Can we improve on our attitude? When?

More next issue Allah willing.
