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

Does this involve you?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Think about these words in the Holy Qur’an.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

More, next issue, Allah willing.

The post Closing the gap in this dark hour appeared first on Final Call News.

The early Christians believed that they were living at the end of the world of evil. They believed that they were being persecuted by those who were desperately trying to hold on to power, against the will and power of God. They also believed that God, and/or Jesus was on the way to relieve them of their suffering; to vindicate them; to set them fully free; to punish their enemies.

Well, as we all know the “end” did not come 2,000 years ago. They were mistaken about the time. However, they serve as signs–types–of that which is taking place today at the real end of this world.

If at the end of the world God is to come to build as well as to destroy, we must not shrink or turn our heads in disdain from the notion that the activities of God, especially in the last days of this world, includes destruction and death. Many people have a conception of God that is very unrealistic and that involves the idea that God does not kill and destroy. This is baseless.

Now, even if Jesus preached that “year,” it did not come 2,000 years ago.   How does this “year” and this “day” of which Isaiah spoke correspond to the “one day” of Revelation 18:8?

Revelation 18:8 reads: “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”

Consider Joel 3:1-3:

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.”

This is prophecy of God’s reasoning with all those responsible for our enslavement and who still hold us to them unjustly and refuse to let us go.

This is also speaking of the war of Armageddon, mentioned also in Revelation 16:6, (which I’ve here placed in context) which reads:

Revelation 16:1-18     “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, it is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.”

Some of this is being fulfilled now. Will the rest also be fulfilled? Again, consider Joel 3:5-7:

“Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have you sold unto the Grecians, that you might remove them far from their border. Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head.”

In fact, we should consider all of Joel, as we are all faced with this NOW!   Look at the fearsome description given in chapter 2.

 Joel 2:1, 2: “ … for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be anymore after it even to the years of many generations.”  

Verses 11-13: “And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil … .”

Verses 28-32: “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.”

All of these words are directed to us in these days in which He Who was to come, has come, and has begun His work.

The Almighty God is the Ultimate Redeemer of His chosen people. He gave a whole nation to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, for whom the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is issuing The Final Call!

Allah has thoroughly pleaded our cause, as it is written in such places as Jeremiah 50: 33, 34:

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go. Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.”

If one takes the time to examine the entire range of what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught–now borne witness to by Minister Louis Farrakhan–it is clear our cause has been thoroughly pleaded.

Among the points that Minister Farrakhan emphasized is that a Black man born in Georgia was and is the Jesus of the New Testament.

(The above words I wrote in a published book titled Farrakhan The Traveler Volume one.)

There is no question that the use of the scriptures, by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is still very relevant—and indispensable—to the solu­tions of the problems of Black people of America, and elsewhere, by reason of the fact of the powerful effect of the work of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. He uses the same instruments his teacher used to do his work.

Did the Honorable Elijah Muhammad know of the mathematics in the writings of the scriptures before Doctor Khalifa, and others, did? Not only did he, but he demonstrated that he was brought into the under­stand­ing of far deeper mathematical truths, which produced, correlated and in­terlocked all aspects of reality—including all of the problems of human­ity—by Almighty God Himself. He was taught the very root of all mathe­matics. This root is in the brain, or mind, of the human being. God taught and brought him into the very nature of the movement of the mind of Him, Who originally conceived of all of that which we call “universe” and Who produced the human mind.  Allah taught him the root of math­ematics—which ultimately resides in the core of the mind of God Him­self.

The six written lessons that we received through the Honorable Elijah Muhammad were put together out of an extraordinarily high mathematical manner. And, let us remember, he was a man with a 4th grade education, who started his teachings in the 1930s, presenting scientific facts before this world’s scientists learned of them!

Yes, he knew of such high mathematics. Every now and then, in pub­lic lectures, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad indicated—and to some ex­tent explained—the relation between certain mathematical formulations con­tained in the Bible and the Holy Qur’an. This make it very evident that he was more than just aware of the code, involving the number 19, with which the Holy Qur’an is written. He used it in his work among us, and still does. 

The Holy Qur’an was written by the Creator and Sustainer of the uni­verse. As we learn to follow God’s guidance, we grow to be in tune with Him, each other, ourselves and His creation. We would then live mathematically, according to our nature, and we would be benefited ac­cordingly. Greater wisdom is required and is being utilized by God in guiding people today than is used in governing the rest of creation. In fact, the divine work—now going on—of raising the spiritually dead to life; judging the world; and creating a brand new one, in which evil be­comes an impossibility, requires wisdom and power superior to what was required to bring man and the universe into being in the very begin­ning of creation! Creation, unlike man, does not rebel against the Cre­ator. Man does. So to bring into existence a world in which human be­ings will­ingly live according to the best or highest aspects of their na­ture—the na­ture of divine—requires infinite wisdom; even superior to that used in the beginning of the origin of the universe.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is the first man to really teach the pub­lic that Islam is mathematics and that mathematics is Islam. Both (Islam and mathematics) are the nature of God and the people He created from Himself. It is natural, therefore, that in the preparation of the Bible and the Holy Qur’an, long ago, these books were originally written in ac­cor­dance with the nature of God Himself, as He is the Author of its truths. He wrote and revealed this mighty book, the Holy Quran, accord­ing to His nature.

Certainly, the Bible has been tampered with. However, as the Honor­able Elijah Muhammad stated, the Bible is true when you understand it. God gave him the true understanding of both books. He has given that un­derstanding to Black people and the world.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad once stated, in the Mosque in Chicago, in 1960, that Allah gave us to him (Honorable Elijah Muham­mad) before He took leave of us. And He gave him (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) to us to bring us to Him (Allah).

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was produced by God for the Honor­able Elijah Muhammad to get us all for him (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad). This work is now in full progress. 

Thus, Minister Farrakhan’s success grows out of his obedience to di­vine guidance, (and deeper, as it was written, he is actually under the control of his teacher). This guidance is from the God, Who governs creation, and this guidance is through the Christ—the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. His work, therefore, being rooted in the foundation laid by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, cannot and will not be anything other than successful because God is real and is present. The greatest of all controversies is being resolved for all time!

I once asked the Honorable Elijah Muhammad questions concerning The Supreme Wisdom Lessons given  to us by Master Fard Muhammad to His Servant The Honorable Elijah Muhammad for the Lost Found Nation of Islam in North America. I asked him why there were 10 Student Enrollment and not some other number; and why there were 20 Statements of Facts and not some other number. I knew that the numbers to our Lessons were significant. He answered by telling me that the 10 Student Enrollment represent the big family of ten; the nine planets and the sun making up the family of ten. Then he stated that the 20 Statements of Facts represents the length of time some would undergo a particular study. Then he stated to me that he’s not to tell me the answer to all that I was to study and found out for myself.

Early last year, I was with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan at the farm in New Buffalo and I asked him how long did it take for him to complete his musical album? He told me 14 years. I knew that the 14 years was/is very significant and is connected to our Supreme Wisdom Lessons.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad once said of and to Minister Farrakhan that he “… would rise to the pinnacle of success in this world’s life.” This world’s life has existed for six thousand years. Now we are at its end. This world rejected both God and His Anointed One, as it was expected. So did our nation (Black people of America), as a whole.

This world was doomed before it was born. Not so with our nation. Nevertheless, as we move towards the final judgment, we’ve rejected the opportunity of receiving an “A” or a “B” grade. However, we have a chance for a “C” grade through our Brother, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. The “C” grade will save us from the “D” (doom of this world) grade—which will do us out of God’s greatest rewards and do us in. This is a most serious matter.

Only 144,000 were prophesied to escape the doom of this world, by some of the Wise Scientists. One “slim” last chance, or way was outlined in the scriptures, however, to save the millions of our people; even to providing others of this world a way out. It’s there in the scriptures. It involved the production of Minister Farrakhan—by the Lord of the worlds, and special preparation by and the prayers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for him, before his departure in 1975.

How well do we understand the above (somewhat randomly selected) passages from the Bible and the Holy Qur’an? What about humanity as a whole? How well do the billions of the readers of these two books understand them?

It was in the early fall of 1931, when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad first heard that there was a man teaching “Islam” who was going by the name of Mr. W.D. Fard. He heard this from his brother, Charlie. They were then living in Detroit, Michigan. Charlie’s excitement stimulated his interest.

Although he had the wrong idea of Islam, at that time, as he thought it was a “heathen religion,” he was told enough that he wanted to meet the Teacher and hear His teachings.

There was something deeper in him that caused him to want to see and hear this man. Ever since he was a little boy–after he learned to read and write–he was a reader of the Bible. He only went to the fourth grade of school, as his father needed him to work in the fields. His father was a sharecropper.

He was not at all lazy, but when he was a little boy, he said, he would crawl under a house or a barn, and read the Bible, as often as he could. He was drawn to its contents.

Now it’s September 1932. He was told that Mr. W.D. Fard was teaching a few people in a basement. He went there but did not see Him. He was told the man was there earlier.

His determination to see Him intensified. He went to other meetings held there and elsewhere, but continued to miss Him until the night of September 22nd. He was eager to see and hear Mr. Fard because he had a strong feeling about this man’s identity. He had quietly grown to expect the man whom his understanding of the Bible told him he should expect, “right about that time.” He felt this was the One he was expecting, prophesied in the Bible.

As soon as he saw and heard Mr. Wallace D. Fard, he knew Him to be the One the world had been expecting for the last 2,000 years. It came to him that the man he beheld was the very man expected by the prophets and others, Who would come in, or under, many good names: Jesus included.

That which Mr. W.D. Fard said and did, at that meeting, convinced the Honorable Elijah Muhammad of the truth of His identity. The Messenger would later say to his followers and to the world that the first thing that struck him about Mr. Fard was that His words and actions tallied with the Bible’s prophecy about what the coming One would say and do on His arrival.

Mr. Fard began speaking on the origin of things. He went on to teach of the measurements of the Earth, its weight, the distances between the Earth, the sun and other planets. He spoke of their rotation, measurements and so on.

He could not but compare what he was listening to, with the prophecy of the coming of God in the book of Habakkuk and elsewhere in the Bible.

Mr. W.D. Fard said much about the nature and history of Black and White people. He spoke about the future, including the coming judgment of this world and of the new world to be established after this world’s power was broken.

He said that Mr. Fard Muhammad went on to say that we were not in our own names, that we were in the names of White people, that He had come to give us our own names (names of God and our people). As he listened, Elijah said to himself: “This has got to be the man.”

When the meeting was over, he got in line with others to shake the Speaker’s hand. When his turn came, Elijah told Him that He was the One Whom the Bible’s prophets foresaw coming along about that time, about 2,000 years after Jesus, or the Son of Man.

Almost simultaneously, Mr. Fard Muhammad looked around to see who else heard that, and then looked at Elijah a little sternly. His smile followed the look. He bent His head close to him, put one hand on his shoulder, and the other on his forehead. Pressing His mouth against Elijah’s ear, He whispered:

“Yes, I am that One. But who else knows that but yourself?”

A few months and 23 years later, on February 26, 1955, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would first physically see the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

During his speech that day, he looked up to and gave Minister Farrakhan his assignment, when he said for him to put the teachings that he, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, was teaching, “into that fine language that you know.”

It was his Teacher’s interpretation of the scriptures that was the means by which he recognized his “Aaron”–Minister Farrakhan.

The post Scriptural recognition appeared first on Final Call News.

One of the most misunderstood characteristics of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is the nature of his love, out of which comes his way.

By the word “way” I mean: a means, manner or method of doing or achieving something; the state or condition of somebody or something, especially with regard to the issues of life common to us all; a usual, characteristic, or distinctive activity or style of behavior; the customary style or practices of somebody’s life; a particular journey or the route followed or to be followed.”

I’m referring to Minister Farrakhan’s progress on the path through which he lives his life and copes with all manner of experiences, difficulties, and trials, which he–with Allah’s help–continues on despite ignorance, criticism, misunderstandings and all of what he must endure to hold up God’s pure light in a dark and degenerate world.

(Order, via this newspaper, or reread his book, “A Torchlight For America.” As he warns America, in a beautiful way, he is also warning us. When was the last time we’ve read that book?)

In John 14:6, Jesus says that he is the “way.” The meaning in Greek translated into English is simple, yet very profound. It means: “a traveled led way, road.” Strong’s Concordance also states that “metaphorically” this word means: “a course of conduct; a way or manner of thinking, feeling, deciding.”

Let’s revisit his words that appeared in interviews I conducted with him. Let’s look as deeply as we can into the words of a Brother who is both wise and humble; who is aware of his importance, but yet makes of himself no important.

It’s critical to study his way and seek to understand the principles out of which he was created and which he teaches. I intend to continue this point after we look at some of his valuable words. The following are excerpts from Farrakhan: The Traveler Vol. 21; No 18 that I wrote on January 10, 2002.

Brother Jabril: Would you say that, in a limited circumstance, we can make true judgments, but not the truest judgments?

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan: In a limited circumstance, we can make true judgments, but oftimes our egos are so wrapped up in the judgments that we make, we never leave room in our judgment for the possibility of mistake or error. That is the tragedy of judgment.

This is why, in my mind, to be made a judge of the human condition is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on a person. But when you are made a judge, you are in the greatest position to come under the judgment of God.

So when I see a person robed in the garment of a judge, I often wonder how bias, how prejudice, how status symbols, how the nobility of a person, or the lack of it, enters into the judge’s decision.

So when God says, “Judge not lest you be in danger of judgment,” we ought to speak less and think more, and desire to know as much as we can about the circumstance, the event, or the person, before we open our mouths to make a judgment.

That, unfortunately, is not always done. And this, unfortunately, will always be the human condition, until we become so humble and righteous in character that we desire to do no man or woman wrong.

So then, we must speak less and we must counsel more, and do it with patience. This is what I find in the Qur’an, that God is consistently counseling us to learn to be patient.

Brother Jabril: Brother Minister, since we will one day have a full-blown judicial system, which will include judges, what are just some of the qualities that immediately come to your mind that should characterize these kinds of persons?

Minister Farrakhan: I think the greatest quality must be first, a love of God; a love of truth and an insatiable desire to know more and more and more about the subject.

One must have the characteristic of humility. No judge should be arrogant, because arrogance over your position makes you ineffective as a judge.

Humility always keeps your heart open for greater knowledge, because you recognize the value, the importance of making a right judgment and you recognize the consequences of making an improper judgment.

It is the consequences of faulty judges and faulty decisions that bring down nations, societies and individuals.

So a judge must not just be one who has completed the course of study in law that is required, but the judge must have the quality of character that would make one a good judge of the affairs of human beings.

Brother Jabril: Brother Minister, yesterday we spoke a little bit about some of the factors involved in the advancement of human life, of society, of nations. You said that there was no advancement without sacrifice and that the advancement of humanity toward the ultimate objective of God requires, on the part of some or many or all, to one degree or another, pain, bloodshed and even the loss of life. Please comment.

Minister Farrakhan: There is no advancement without the sacrifice of life, bloodshed and pain. Those human beings whom God has chosen to advance us, in whatever discipline that is, must first have the quality to endure suffering, to endure insult. Such persons must be able to endure criticism, made by judgmental persons who are comfortable where they are and are challenged by where this human being is trying to lead us.

There is no advancement in any field without tremendous sacrifice and then life lost and bloodshed. Any advancement in any field has caused the one who leads us into that new field of knowledge and advancement suffering or great suffering.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, “Blessed is he who forges the way for others.” There is a scripture that talks about the one whom God assigns the task of bringing in a world that is totally new. This would mean he brings in a new knowledge–a knowledge that challenges the scholarship of his day. So the scripture teaches, “No visage was more marred than his.” This is because what he’s doing is like cutting a path through a jungle.

The branches of the trees that you have to cut down hit your face and scar your face, but as you cut that branch down, the ones coming behind you feel little or no pain, because you have felt it for them.

So it says, “By his stripes we are healed.” In the newness of the knowledge that he brings, and in his intense love for the world that he sees in his mind, which is not yet in reality–this in what causes him to endure what he endures of the ignorance of his contemporaries. So, when his truth is established, he may or may not be present, but he will be vindicated by history.

To be continued next issue, Allah willing.

The post The patient way of Minister Farrakhan appeared first on Final Call News.

In a radio broadcast, many years ago, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that one day Master Fard Muhammad told him to tell us that His Father made Him for us and that He loved us.

In one of his Saviour’s Day address the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to an audience full of his poor suffering people, “I love you.” Many who heard him that day say they “felt” enveloped by his love. (Contact The Final Call for a copy of that videotape which was done in the 1970s.)

In the early fall of 1955, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and two other Brothers were introduced to the class. That was their first F.O.I meeting. When it came his turn to speak to the men he said that he would take this message to every nook and cranny of America. He has. That’s love! Despite his suffering, here he is, forty-nine years later, demonstrating his love for us.

One day in the mid 1950s two Brothers were driving back to Chicago. They had a flat tire in the trunk of their car. Then one of their tires blew. They were stuck about fifty miles outside of Chicago. What were they going to do?

In those days the Messiah had a business card with his phone number on it. They had one of them. They called him to please come and pick them up. He was in a good mood. He answered : “Well Brothers, I’m justa not a goin’ to do it.”

In the fifth chapter of Hebrews there is a formula that runs throughout the scriptures, that applies to the two Messiahs and the Believers–in the last days of the wicked. It is: obedience to Allah, through (or while) suffering, results in perfection–over time.

Slightly paraphrased and condensed here, I wrote in This Is The One the following. We’ve learned from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that the most important question we could ask is “Who is God?” Then he taught and proved that: “Of all the knowledge that one may have or obtain, the knowledge of God is the greatest, and most necessary of all knowledge.”

Since the most important question one could ask concerns God’s identity, the next most important question and knowledge must be of the identity of God’s Messenger. Why? God revealed Himself only to him. He then taught Allah’s revelation to us.

Then came February 1975. The world was told he was dead. Minister Farrakhan arose thirty months later. He made it known worldwide that he was not dead but alive and was exercising great power.

Minister Farrakhan did not sit in his teacher’s seat by Allah’s permission. No! He was willed towards that lofty position before the nation fell by Allah and the Messiah. Later, at the proper time, he was placed in that seat by Allah to do what was written of him.

Essentially, his task is to make his teacher’s commission known. To do that he had to make his teacher’s identity known. He has and continues to do so. So hearing Minister Farrakhan is key to understanding the Messiah’s identity and presence.

The Messiah made God known after God revealed Himself to him. Minister Farrakhan made the Messiah known the world over. This supremely wise arrangement is a manifestation of the infinite love of Allah. This obligates us to really study Minister Farrakhan; his teachings and his ways.

Black people of America are the dead of the scriptures, whom God was to raise in the last days, from our grave of ignorance. This work has and is producing the messianic community or nation, out of the most despised of all of the people on earth–the Black people of America. The birth, formation and growth of the Nation of Islam can be read throughout the scriptures.

“Prepare Me a body and I will go down and redeem man.” How was His “body” prepared? Why is it written that He would “go down” and then redeem man? Why “down?” Why “and?” Who is the “man” to be redeemed? Redeemed from what? What is the process of redemption?

God foreknew our condition. So several seemingly simple word pictures were made for us. But He also foreknew we would be so dead we would not be able to see ourselves in the pictures–even though they plainly described us.

So as it was written: “… in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.” (Isaiah 29^: 17-24) So He provided the two Messiahs to teach us so we could hear.

Here is a part of one of those word pictures. “Jesus said: ‘A man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

“But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ ” (Luke 10:30,33-35)

The man who was beaten and robbed went down. The Good Samaritan went down after him.

Jerusalem’s elevation is about 2,600 feet above sea level. Jericho is about 825 feet above sea level. The difference is about 1,775 feet. That’s how far down you go “down” to get from the higher city to the lower city.

There is a road that goes down from Jerusalem to Jericho. I’ve read that it’s 17 miles long.

See Mother Tynnetta’s book, The Comer by Night from pages 103 through 107 on the significance of the number seventeen and that it’s the number of initiation.

“Initiation” means an action that causes something, especially an important process or event, to begin. It’s the introduction of somebody to a new activity, interest, or area.

The Good Samaritan was prepared to go down and initiate the process of redemption of the beaten-down man–us. Then He left the poor man in the hands of two prepared men until He returned.

The Messiah said the Good Samaritan is a sign of Master Fard Muhammad. The two Messiahs have been taking care of the poor ever since.

All of this and more is well known to highly placed Caucasians, who are Shriners. This reminds me of two very interesting reports concerning presidential candidate Mr. John Kerry, who suggests that Minister Farrakhan should do his homework on his record. (The Final Call; Volume 23; Number 42)

If Mr. Kerry had done his homework on the wisdom underlying Minister Farrakhan’s statement respecting him, he would have responded another way. Or maybe he has but must keep quiet. Time will tell.

Nevertheless, those in power are yet responsible for how they handle Minister Farrakhan.

More next issue Allah willing.

The post The work of the Good Samaritan: A demonstration of love appeared first on Final Call News.

I ended my last article with these words: “His self-creation implied or compelled the eventual coming of Master Fard Muhammad, as well as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

“We just have to go back in time to see or make sense of the solution. Remember, we are being taught, according to the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the root of the wisdom of the Creator of all, by Him Who is now in the process of creating all things new; improving on everything that has ever been done by the First One and all of the Gods Who came after Him.”

The Holy Wise Scientists, the Writers of the Holy Qur’ans or the Mother of the Books, down through the eons of time, knew that there was this in us that They were finally going to permit to be brought out of us. They saw Yakub and They decided to let him do what they foresaw that he would do, despite the terrible consequences to follow.

But why was it allowed full expression now, during this particular cycle of world history writings? Why did the Original Scientists choose to allow this evil force to come forth at this time? Was it because of the vacuum that they foresaw that would come around the time Yakub would be born?

Was it in the nature of all things that this was the very best time to allow him to make devil? If They had not allowed devil to be made, by Yakub, what would Master Fard Muhammad have faced on His coming?

I believe Master Fard Muhammad was coming from the very beginning of the First God’s self creation, in a certain sense. This vacuum, in my humble view–to be corrected with greater light– was the ultimate result or consequence of the ending of the First God’s work or even His effect. Hence, and grandest of all renewals, restorations or  the regeneration, about which Jesus is said to have spoken.

The regeneration  cannot take place without the willingness, the loving cooperation of the Black women–God’s second self. She must help the Black men meet their responsibilities to build the new world.

Families will be composed of the alive, not the dead. So the families will be of God’s spirit, as the persons who make up the families will be alive. In these new families every “negative” or un-divine idea, emotion and motivation will have to be overcome and eliminated, not just for the peace and security of the families, but because the good and excellent qualities (which are to be gained as we grow out of the evil, self-centered, selfish ways of thinking and feelings) are only those which will enable us to enter fully into His kingdom.

What is the history and the present state of the Black family in the United States of America? Even after a through review of the scholarship, generated in this world’s universities, you’ll find that what’s missing in the studies, on the Black family, is the light of the revealed word of Allah to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

The slave masters continued to determine the state of Black family life even after physical servitude was said to be abolished. To what extent has this changed and what factors produced those changes?

Many, both scholarly and otherwise, have pointed out good aspects of Black family life, prior to 1931, when Master Fard Muhammad began teaching the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Up to a point there is merit in these observations. However, we must take into consideration, that Allah best knows the truth of our condition. We were described, in divine prophecy, as that people so destroyed by our enemies that we were foreseen as “the dead.”

Despite our condition, Allah determined a total change for us from death to life–His life.

Although it may be insulting to many of us, but can we say, with truth, that our family life was or could be any more alive than the spiritual or mental state of “the dead” who composed them? Can our families be more alive than the “dead” individuals who make up these families?

Since God Himself deemed us “the dead,” then even at its best Black family life was and could never be what it can and will become until after those who compose these families have been raised from death to life.

Allah personally began producing changes for the better in the status of the Black family, through what He taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, beginning in 1931. To what extent have the concepts which generated those changes affected the state of the whole of Black family life?

Although I personally cannot answer that question, we must still go back to the principle that Black family life can be no better than the extent to which those composing those families are spiritually alive.

We know that as a people, we’re coming to life. The spirit of Allah–Master Fard Muhammad as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad publicly wrote back in 1956, was moving in and among our people. Look at the effect of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s work. It’s clear that the resurrection of the dead is taking place.

So, the answer to the question of to what extent has Allah’s truths affected Black family life is at least proportional to the extent to which those composing those families have been made alive by His spirit.

When we must ask “the whys of God,” we must do so in the proper spirit. To ignorantly ask Him of His “whys” in an arrogant spirit is to bring an answer we’ll find hard to take.

Please get and study the whole of what the Honorable Minister Louis said on family at the Family Summit conference. Here are excepts of his words: “Only God can bring us all together and make us one. Jesus couldn’t do it, he was 2,000 years too soon. Prophet Muhammad wanted to do it, but he was 1,400 years too soon and his followers became corrupted, so they can’t do it.

“So the Mahdi, Master Fard Muhammad, came to us and out of my love for my Messenger Messiah, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad; look at this family. Many colors coming from many different perspectives. But we are one family because God is at the root of our family.”

More next issue, Allah willing.

The post Spiritual resurrection and the root of the Black family appeared first on Final Call News.

Holy Qur’an 13:27: “…Say: Allah leaves in error whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn to Him–Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Now surely in Allah’s remembrance do hearts find rest.” 42:13: “…Allah chooses for Himself whom He pleases, and guides to Himself who turns (to Him).”

On page 341 of Closing The Gap, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan stated: “You know, no matter what gifts a person may be blessed to have, it is out of the heart that the real issues of life are formed and the real meaning of the person’s life gets found. It is not in the talent. It is the heart. The heart of a servant of God, is formed by God. It is not formed by a mother, or a father, or circumstances. It is formed by God and is manifested through circumstances.” (Bold mine)

*******

Anyone who picks up the book, Closing The Gap, starting on page 347, you can read the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s response to my question of his trials. He gave other answers to questions that appear in this book, that have an indirect bearing on his trials. This is why I asked him that question that produced his answers on his life.

This has a direct bearing on our understanding and use of such words as, how, what, when, who and why. This has to do with all of the realities of the information that is in our heads and our hearts. To say that something has a “direct bearing on something” is to say that it has an effect on something, or a connection with something.

I know that millions and millions, or billions of people do not know him, like many of the few of us know him. I know that some have learned about him on the basis of misinformation, and the like. So, I wanted people to see him, from his mouth, to get a view into his heart.

Minister Farrakhan did not know that I would ask him that question before I did it. I asked Allah, in the name of His Messiah, to bless me to ask him that question at the right time. So, I asked him that question in a respectful, simple, direct and clear manner that produced that powerful, insightful and beneficial answer for all to read his words. By the help of Allah I intend to go into this “all.”

At this point, I’m asking the reader to go look into the following words that appear in italic and bold a few lines below. These words are the basis of a few articles to come, by the help of Allah.

Closing The Gap contains Minister Farrakhan’s answers to a question on this very significant subject–his trials. To me his reactions to his trials are exemplary. Exemplary means: “so good or admirable that others would do well to copy it, designed to serve as a warning to others, serving as an illustration or example of something.”

What did the Honorable Elijah Muhammad see in Minister Farrakhan in 1957 (quoted in the last article) that caused him to say those words to him? If you have not read them, here they are from Minister Farrakhan.

“I was captain and then as a captain, I came out to Chicago for Savior’s Day and the Messenger had the captains to speak on that Saturday, February 1957. I spoke and the Messenger was sitting right behind me. In the pictures that I saw there, he had this beautiful smile on his face. As I spoke as Captain Louis that night he invited me, for the first time, to come to dinner with him.”

“That night I remembered him doing something that I’ve never seen him do since then. At the end of the dinner he went around the table shaking everybody’s hand. When he got to me and shook my hand he came close and whispered in my ear, ‘You remind me of David.’ Then he went back to his chair and of course, dismissed us. That was in February.”

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad whispered his words? Why?

When God was informing Samuel that He had appointed David (to be king instead of Saul) He said, “for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” (Read 1 Samuel 16: 7.)

That illustrates the value of the heart of the human being, from the Supreme Being’s supreme-view, which will prevail one day soon. Zechariah 14:9: “And the Lord shall be king over all earth…”

How do you see these words, spoken to Minister Farrakhan in 1957, “You remind me of David” relate or connect, to these words spoken to him, years later: “Allah prepared you for me”? How do you see these words relating to his trials and to you?

*******

Now back to his words on his trials. They are very valuable, as we will see, if we don’t see this now. On page 350 Minister Farrakhan begins.

“By May of 1957, because of problems with Minister Ulysses and the need for funding and money to keep up his quality of life, he had to work in a foundry or his job had took him away from the Mosque; so the Messenger decided in May of 1957, to make me the minister.

“Then other trials began. You know the trial of extreme poverty. I remember working in the garment district in Boston making forty-five dollars a week. They would take ninety cents out for FICA; Social Security and whatnot, and I would come home with forty-four dollars and ten cents; with my wife and three children. But I always found each week, money to donate to the Temple and of course, my charity to the Messenger, and encouraged the believers to do the same. But that trial was extreme poverty.

“When I finally got up to sixty-five dollars a week working days; I studied during my lunch hour. We didn’t each lunch. We ate one meal a day. So I would just have a cup of coffee and write my subject out to preach.

“I remembered the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, “Well, you have gotten the Mosque up.” The believers were sufficient in number to support me. So he said that I should come away from the day job and concentrate fully on the resurrection of our people. He said that I could get one hundred dollars a week. This was 1958.

“Not one time in nine years did I ever get a hundred dollars. The most I ever got, as I can recall, was sixty-five to seventy dollars. But the actual charity was between thirty and forty-five dollars per week. For nine solid years I was not able to buy a new suit until the ninth year, when I was leaving. The believers gave me a new suit. I would wear suits from the pawnshop that my brother, from New York, would bring to me.”

The post Lessons from Closing the Gap appeared first on Final Call News.

“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.
