Honorable Elijah Muhammad
The Right of Self-Defense
The so-called Negroes of Birmingham, Alabama, would have been justified by the law of justice if they had killed every dog sicked upon them by the hired, tax-paid policemen, for the taxpayers did not hire dogs to police their lives and property. And if the policemen had fired upon those who defended themselves against the bites of savage dogs...
What The So-Called Negro Must Do For Himself
Men everywhere are seeking unity among themselves. Every race of people want unity with their own kind first, except my people, the so-called Negro in America. Our condition and lack of love for ourselves must be attributed to the slave-master. He has been our teacher until the coming of Almighty God, Allah. The slave-master has robbed my people of...
The Decision
Holy Qur'an, Chapter 78:2 “Of the tremendous announcement.” "The Day of Decision." We are now living in the time in which we must decide on what we should do. It is very important that we arrive at a solution; come to a definitive agreement. You, Black Man of America, are holding back your decision. You are waiting because of the...
Islam: A Unifying Religion
White man's Christianity has absolutely failed to get recognition and respect for us–even from those who taught it to us. It is a religion that teaches you to love your enemies and hate your friend and to seek your reward after death. It has produced more division and hate than all the other religions combined. White Christianity has robbed...
America’s Land Being Divinely Curtailed
Holy Qur’an, Ch. 13:41, “See they not that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? And Allah pronounces a doom—there is no repeller of His decree. And He is swift in calling to account.” Black Man in America, there is no one as blind as you are in seeing what is going on against America. I have...

Build Black Economy
Black Economy is one of the first steps that is necessary for the Black Man to take; from economy in his home to farms and factories. We Boast that we are free. To boast of Freedom of Self, means that you are one who is responsible for your economic condition. A...
Original Man Know Thyself
It is knowledge of self that the so-called Negroes lack which keeps them from enjoying freedom, justice and equality. This belongs to them divinely as much as it does to other nations of the earth. 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...
Can America exist?
The coming of the White man to the Western Hemisphere was for the purpose of expansion away from his brethren in Europe. Europe was divinely given to the White race as a home when they were driven out of Arabia six thousand years ago to abide there on that continent until their day of reckoning comes to them. These...
The Confused World
Confusion among the heads of the government of the wicked is destroying the foundation of their world. “AS THOU HAST DONE SO SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO THEE.” This World of the wicked has confused the Black Man's world for six thousand (6,000) years. Now, their world must be removed to make way for a better world and...
