Black mother follows style of whites to turn son into “princess boy” On March 26, 2009 a six-second-long video clip of a little white boy dressed as a “fairy princess” in a laced dress and wearing a tiara appeared on YouTube. As of the day of this writing 47, 605 people watched it.

It took a little over a year for a foolish Black woman with some kind of get-rich-quick scheme in mind to follow suit (or should I say dress) and stuff her little innocent 5-year-old son in a pink tutu.

But like everything else. Anything the devils (white man) does, the Black man can out-do him. at it.

The Black mother wrote a book about it (shown below) to, in her words, “encourage people to be tolerant”. The book was picked up by a well-known publisher and is now being sold in bookstores all over America.

Now her son has not only appeared on several YouTube videos (one of which was posted on October 20, 2010 and received 160, 824 views), but has also been seen on a variety of TV talk shows.

Notice: The little white boy was the first to do it. But no big deal was made of it until the Black woman but the little Black boy in a dress then it became a national topic.

Now after the Black woman, makes all the money that can be made with this filth and foolishness, the devil (white) family will probably to sue the Black woman for “stealing” their idea and leave the foolish sister broke and shamed.

Messenger Elijah Muhammad gave us a perfectly clear warning in the Chapter titled, DEVILS FOOL AND DISGRACE YOU, in his book THE MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA. The Messenger said: “They are

‘Stop destroying yourself trying to be other than your own kind and patterning after a doomed race of devils.’

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad --Message To The Blackman, Chapter 53

Your common sense teaches you that God does not approve of such filth....”

Finally, The Messenger wrote: They make fools of you and then laugh at you for being dumb

pulling off your clothes and showing the world your shame, and you think it is right.

Almighty Allah (God) and the Nation of Islam elsewhere (Asia and Africa, the Islands) are grieved and hurt to the heart to see you walking into the trap your enemies (the devils) have and still are setting for you.

I am your sincere brother with the truth from your God and mine, which means your very life and the future of your children and nations of black men and women. The truth being that you should know your enemies and their tricks being played on the world of our kind. Will you listen or read the truth?

Do no take what I am teaching and writing lightly. It is the truth from your God and you shall soon bear me witness that it is the truth.

Allah has said to me that we are living in the end of the world of white rule, a race whom Allah has made manifest to you and me as being real devils.

They were created to rule us for 6,000 years, and then Allah (God) will destroy them from the earth and give the earth back to its origi-

nal owners — the Black Nation.

The time has arrived, and you must know the truth of this race and yourself and nation.You must be reunited to your own Nation.

The time is ripe for your return.

You will never again be slaves to any other nation. Allah will make you the head and not the tail. Accept your own! Stop destroying yourself trying to be other than your own kind and patterning after a doomed race of devils....”

The Messenger went on to say, “You are letting the devils fool and disgrace you and are taking you to hell with them!...

Then, the Messenger says: “They are leading you only to evil and indecency, as the Holy Qur-an teaches you and me. They are used to going nude. They have nudist colonies here in America to prove it. Four thousand years ago all of Europe was a nudist colony. And your little daughters are being brought up to not be shy of indecency.

You have them stripped to their trunks, all because the devils invited you to wear such styles of theirs, and you are obeying. This is to tempt the black people in becoming sharers in their doom.

enough for them to trick. (The devil scientists and rulers prepare the trap for you and the others spring it on you....Beware, my dear sister, the tricks of your enemies and mine, the devils.”

The Dangers of Nail Polish and Fake Nails Chemicals painted on your nails and your little girl’s nails can be absorbed into your bodies.

One of the main dangers of nail polish is the chemical class, phthalates. These chemicals are classified as possible carcinogens by the EPA, and are know to cause genetic damage which may lead to cancer or other diseases including liver, kidney and lung damage.

Some scientist believe phthalates cause changes or abnormalities sexual hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. In addition, they’re even linked to infertility and may be associated with early puberty in girls.

What’s worse is that you have no way of knowing if they’re in the nail products you buy because they are NOT required to be listed on the label.

Acrylic nails are even worse. Because your nails are porous, they need to breathe. When you glue on acrylic nails, you are preventing your nails from breathing. You

are cutting off their oxygen supply. And even though toxic chemical, methyl methacrylate, was banned in 1974 as a glue for acrylic nails, it is still sometimes used because it’s cheap and easy to get.

The Blackman’s Guide To Understanding The Black Woman By Sister Shahrazad Ali CINCINNATI, Ohio--As-Salaam-

Alaikum! I have been a follower of Messenger Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him) since 1967.

My position is that the Black Woman’s disrespect and rebellion against the leadership and authority of the Black Man is a direct cause of the breakdown in our Black family structure.

Of course, there are many black people who consider those fighting words, because, as Black women we have never been subject to the kind of examination that our men have been subject to.

Since we have been here, we have been somewhat protected and shielded from any kind of critiquing about our personal behavior; whereas our men have always been up for examination.

The book (The Black Man’s Guide To Understanding the Black Woman) is not an attack on Black women.

I have never said that all Black women do everything that I list in my book. None of us have lived long enough to do everything that I list in the book But most of us do some of the things I have listed in my book and I do say that it is not because of generalizations that we are all victimized by the negative patterns of behavior in the book.

The book just represents our collective contribution. This is some of everything that we have done, or that we do daily, that contributes to the breakup of our relationship, the destruction of our man, and the failure of our children to be able to function.

They did not tell us that all of that, “Being my own person” and “I’m independent” would lead to separation, loneliness, celibacy and lesbianism. They didn’t tell us that if you give up the man, you are going to pick up one of

these things and it’s worse and it will destroy your nation. They didn’t give us that information.

They made us think that it was some kind of glorified position to brag about the fact that, “I got my own job, my own credit card and my own car, so I don’t need no man”.

I don’t even know how we got that mixed up. None of those things have anything to do with having or being with a man.

We have some serious relationship problems that nobody has been able to address us on, because everybody wants to pretend that this is not going on.

Over 60% of our women are single, widowed, separated or divorced. They don’t have a man!

I just came out of Florida, and they have a housing complex that the Urban League built (which is a Black organization) that is for women and children only. They say they don’t allow any men in there. That’s the silliest program I have ever heard of!

You know the women have had men if they have a bunch of children. They need fathers! They need protection!

We hear about the drug problem we have in our projects across the country. It’s one of the major places that we have a drug problem.

You know we talk about the great strength we have as Black women.

Well, the Welfare Department don’t rent government apartments to single Black men. Those apartments belong to Black women, who are allowing this to go on in their home.

We haven’t looked at what part of the responsibility do we share?

Yes, a lot of Black men sell drugs and a lot of us, Black women, get a lot of the money from the sell of those drugs to buy some of these fancy clothes we wear, and to drive around in some of these fancy cars.

He is not doing these things alone and without support from us.

Whether they are good or bad.

You see, we HAVE a lot of power!

We ARE very strong women! I’m saying we are using our strength in the wrong direction. We are using it to tear our man down and tear our nation down instead of building it up.

Having an education and having a job does not necessarily mean you have a successful life.

I keep telling Black women that to raise a child, they say, “Well I provide the child with food, clothing and shelter.” That’s not raising a child. That’s maintaining one. To raise a child, you need a parental coalition of a man and a woman.

We have sons who (by not having a father in the home) don’t know how to respect women. They take on the Black female emotionalism. They become suspicious, gossipy, doubtful and indecisive.

They can’t make a decision. They don’t know what to do about being a man, because we can’t teach him that. We don’t have that knowledge.

We have daughters who grow up in a home where they don’t see any affection. Where there’s no man there. They go out into the world and try to mate. They have no idea of how to be a woman to a man. how to function in a house with a man, because they haven’t seen it.

Most of our children, just like us, get all of their information of how to be with a mate off television.

It’s the only medium that show us how to be together. Those rules have not worked for us.

The white woman’s liberation movement? We don’t have anything to do with that. We have not been under the control of the Black Man for over 500 years, so what do we have to be liberated from?

They haven’t been our boss! That’s the white woman and her man.

They’re going through that. And that’s their business! We don’t have any business being in that. They only introduce it to break down the Civil Rights Movement.

The Civil Rights Movement started with the Black Man, the Black Woman and the Black Child standing together trying to plead for Freedom, Justice and Equality, and more benefits in the country that they had helped build. They threw the white woman in there, with the “Women’s Liberation Movement” and made it a woman against man thing. That created a big separation between Black men and Black women, because then, everybody started going for self.

Sister Shahrazad Ali Mother of the Black Book Explosion

Then they bring the Welfare System in tell us that in order for them to feed, clothe and house our children, we would have to give up our man. We have to put the man out of the house. But when the white farm wife goes to the government for subsidies for the farm, they don’t tell her to get rid of the farmer, they try to keep that family together. But in the Black community they make it a requirement because they want to keep endorsing into the Black community that the Black man is no good and that the is not deserving of respect; he is not deserving of us letting him give us any protection or instruction and that we are better than him.

The major responsibility the Black woman has had on the earth for the trillions of years that we have been here has been one of nutrition and birthing children.

Those two things have a great deal to do with the survival of any people. The reproduction of the nation and feeding them the proper food so they can live.

Those are very important jobs.

Those are very powerful positions.

Because it puts us in the position Continued on page 11

It’s The God in You! Continued from page 4 people having their own land.”

Next, the Messenger said, “We must begin at the cradle and teach our babies that they must do something for self. They must not be like we, their fathers, who look to the slave-makers' and the slavemasters' children for all of our needs.”

“We must stop the process of giving our brain power, labor and wealth to our slave-masters' children. We must eliminate the mas-

ter-slave relationship.”

That goes, not only, for the master-slave relationship between the white man and the black man. But we must eliminate that same kind of relationship between ourselves.

Though all of us are gods, there is only One God that knows All! He knows what each of us little gods know, but we don’t know all that He knows. That makes Him The Supreme God! He has Supreme knowledge, understanding and wisdom. He, Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard

Muhammad is the Only God that we worship and praise. Read what Messenger Elijah Muhammad says in Chapter Ten of Our Saviour Has Arrived, “All praise is due to Allah.

Allah is all of us. But we have a Supreme One that we can throw this name "Holy" upon. He is Allah, The One over all of us; The Most Supreme One, the Wisest One, the Mightiest One; The One that Sees and Hears that which we can't see and hear. That Is He. He Is rooted in all of us. Every righteous person is a god. We are all God. When we say "Allah" we mean every righteous person.”

Among us, little gods, there are some who know more in certain areas than others. But we don’t try to make a slave of another one because we have a little more knowledge of a thing than another man.

He’s a god too! Maybe he doesn’t know all that you know about a certain thing, but rest assured he knows something you don’t know.

It’s SOMETHING he can tell you that YOU don’t know. For instance; you have a plumber and an electrician. The electrician may know a lot about his field and he may even know a little about plumbing...Same for the plumber.

He may know a lot about plumbing and little about electrician. But if both respect each other as gods then we can learn from one another a make some progress in building a house.

We are trying to rebuild the house that was destroyed by hypocrites in 1975. Messenger Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him) gave us all the tools, materials and know how that we need to rebuild it, but some of us are too busy “matching wits”, trying to show each other which one of us is the wisest; some of us are bowing down to some other little god, who has his own little set of mixed instructions, and some of us are just plain lazy and would rather sit around the coffee shop, all day, sciencing-up on what he thinks some OTHER little god should be doing. So we have yet to do any REAL WORK in rebuilding.

The Messenger wrote an article in the September 10, 1971 edition of Muhammad Speaks, titled The Blackman’s Duty.

In that article, The Messenger wrote: “OUR DIVINE DUTY today,

‘...We are not looking for the God of the next world to come. He is already Present.’

-Messenger Elijah Muhammad, Muhammad Speaks Newspaper January 26,1973

is to unite on a constructive plan that I have by the Help and Guidance of Allah (God), set before you. It is Divine Leadership that will win for the Black Man and not political leadership, nor Christian leadership. THE DUTY of the BLACK MAN is to do for self and think for self. This duty is now made binding upon us because of the loss of the world power of the white man. The power of the white man is falling hourly.”

I’m not an electrician nor a plumber, but I know what Messenger Elijah Muhammad taught.

The Messenger said, “There are no big I’s and little you’s in the Nation of Islam.” We are all equal (the same) in the eyesight of the Supreme God. In other words, regardless to how much you know,

or think you know, you are still just a little god, just like me, but I respect that which you know that I don’t know.

I can work with any brother, in any field, who sincerely wants to Push the Messenger’s Program.

That’s what I am. I’m a worker!

I’m no scientist! And I’m not too proud to do the work that some of the wise guys think is “low class”.

I don’t mind hauling the wood, hammering the nails, sweeping the floor or cleaning the toilet. I’ll do whatever needs to be done to build the house, just as long as we follow the blueprint given to us

by Messenger Elijah Muhammad, from the One Supreme God, Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad.

Did you know that Arlington Cemetery was once a Black Town of former slaves?

Only a few rows of small white tombstones, many engraved with names like George, Toby and Rose, are the only visible reminders of "Freedman's Village”, the land, that the federal government confiscated from Gen. Robert E. Lee, after he took command of the Confederate Army, and gave to Lee’s ex-slaves, who had nowhere to go.

As the community grew, the village was able to provide housing, education, training for employment skills, church services, medical care and food for the former slaves.

Homes in the village were wooden and housed two to four families each. The first school, which opened shortly after the town was dedicated on December 4, 1863. It started with 150 stu-

dents (children and adults) and grew to 900 students.

The training center was an industrial school where people could train to become blacksmiths, wheelwrights, carpenters, shoemakers and tailors. The apprentices and trainees supported their village in such ways as making clothes and shoes for the villagers and chairs and desks for the school.

"Homes" were set up for the aged who were incapable of caring for themselves; Abbott Hospital, created in 1866, had 50 beds and a 14-member staff.

In 1882, the U.S. Supreme court decided to take the land back from the freed slaves , and on December 7, 1887, the citizens of Freedman’s Village were given 90 days to leave.

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad

They are NOT responsible for The message.

I AM THE ONLY ONE God will hold responsible for you not getting the Truth.”

Messenger Elijah Muhammad’s Words-Reprinted From Our Saviour Has Arrived, Acknowledgment

‘They were once dead... They did not bring about the rebelling against the Messenger until Allah and His Messenger had brought them in or taught them rather a lot of wisdom of truth. Then they raised up to take that place that they had not been chosen for by almighty God Allah. Going around lying. Telling the people that they are something that God has chosen, themselves. And that they are to take the place of the Messenger.’

Brother Ahmad Muhammad Lived The Life and Died The Death of a Muslim (from personal to legal). He often performed services for people at no charge if they could not afford his already low fees. He was a taskmaster, often working into the early morning hours to meet his self imposed deadlines.

Ahmad is survived by his wife Patricia; four children, Renee Harlow, Renard Harlow (Felicia), Rand Harlow (Jean), and Roxanna Harlow; five grandchildren, LaNaye Lawson, Cameron Johnson, Sajela Harlow, Jaiere Harlow, and Kaija Harlow; an uncle, Lawrence Harding; cousins Anthony Bell (Pat), Judith Harris (Ray), and Geoffrey Harding (Jacqueline); and a host of family and friends.

A Job Well Done

Brother Ahmad Muhammad At his home in Chicago, Illinois, Ahmad Muhammad (known as Rudolph Harlow or “Rudy” to many) left this world on Friday, November 19, 2010. He had a positive influence on so many lives; his wit, guidance, friendship, and love will be deeply missed.

share knowledge and provide a positive connection to the community they would rejoin. He was also a regular columnist for the Muhammad Speaks newspaper where he shared first hand knowledge of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teachings with a younger generation.

Born in Chicago on September 13, 1935, he was the beloved son of Winnifred Harding Harlow (Mama), the much loved nephew of Dr. Mary Anne Bell (Auntie), and the adored grandson of Anna G. Harding (Nana). He was husband to Renet Harlow for 41 years, and husband and best friend to Patricia Muhammad for 14 years until his death. He also served as father, friend, teacher and confidant to his four children. Ahmad’s sense of humor kept everyone in stitches.

Highly respected, he always had the right piece of advice to give and knew how to solve any problem.

Although he worked many jobs throughout his life (including new car sales and management, where he retired), life guarding, 5R Films, and Learning for Living left him most fulfilled. As a teenager, he worked as a lifeguard for the YMCA and at Fox Lake, Indiana where he was one of the founders of The Sharks swimming club. It was in the water at Fox Lake where he was the happiest and most content.

A follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him), Ahmad worked tirelessly to uplift, sustain and strengthen the black community. He was a role model and mentor to many of the struggling young men in his neighborhood. He visited and wrote to those in prison to

In the late 1960’sAhmad founded 5R films, a media company that did work primarily for the Nation of Islam (NOI). He was instrumental in implementing many of the NOI programs at that time. The recordings of the Savior’s Day celebrations in the 1960’s and the film Why We Lose are still heralded and purchased by many. He founded Learning for Living after retiring in order to help people solve their life problems

Brother Ahmad shared much history with us about himself and Messenger Elijah Muhammad.

One story he shared with the Believers in Detroit, one month before he passed away, was how he wanted so badly to do something that would REALLY HELP the Nation of Islam.

Brother Ahmad told us that when he asked Brother Ahmad and his wife, Sister Patricia the Messenger, back in Muhammad at The Saviour’s Day 2010 the 1960s, what job he Celebration in Detroit, Michigan could do that could help him (The Messenger) most, The Messenger told him to take two or three of the each of the Muhammad Speaks Newspapers and put them away, and save them for the day when he would be able to pass them on to “the little group” of Believers , who would be working to help The Messenger.

Brother Ahmad said that, back then, I didn’t understand what the Messenger meant by “the LITTLE group” when, at that time, there were thousands of Muslim that he thought was working to help the Messenger.

Brother Ahmad expressed how disappointed he felt about the task that he had been given because he didn’t see how that could really help the Messenger. Brother Ahmad said, “I wanted to do something That would REALLY REALLY help the Messenger. And saving Newspapers just didn’t seem like I was doing enough.” Brother Ahmad said that he asked The Messenger, “How will I know “the little group”. And the Messenger answered, “Oh, you’ll know!”

Brother Ahmad said that after the Messenger passed away in 1975, he spent years and years trying to find “the little group” of Believers that he could pass them on to. He said that he gave some of the Muhammad Speaks Newspapers away to little groups that he THOUGHT was “THE little group”, only to find out that they were not.

“Finally”, Brother Ahmad said, “I KNEW I had really found ‘THE LITTLE GROUP’, when I visited Muhammad Speaks Website (www.muhammadspeaks.com/ VintageMSN.html) and saw that the Muhammad Speaks Newspapers I had saved for all these years were being uploaded, full-sized, and in full color so that the whole world could see The Messenger’s great work”.

Tribute to Brother Ahmad Muhammad · With every stranger that he spoke to, it was always “yes Sir or no Sir”, “yes Maam or no Maam”, no matter the age. · You never heard him use foul language, and rarely- if at all- would he give himself credit for anything, but would always defer to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him). · Many of you knew that Brother Ahmad was a soldier. He fought the battles and wars that we wouldn’t or couldn’t fight. But his goal was always to teach you how to do battle with an enemy that you couldn’t always see or touch; how to comfortably exist in an environment where many wanted to see you uncomfortable. Yes, in the namesake of his self-created business of some 30 years, he truly believed in “Learning for Living”.

Pictured; Brother Ahmad Muhammad’s children; l to r: Rand Harlow, Renee Harlow, Renard Harlow, and Roxanna Harlow On behalf of the children of Ahmad Muhammad, also known as Rudy Harlow, as well as on behalf of his wife Sister Patricia, I offer this family tribute: Ahmad Muhammad, Rudolph Frederick Harlow, Rudy Harlow, Granddad Harlow, Granddaddy, Brother Ahmad, Rudy, Mr. Harlow, Mr. Muhammad … Dad: No matter what name or title you knew him by, after conversing and interacting with Brother Ahmad, you were always sure to get forthrightness and sincerity, and you were always sure to leave the encounter more knowledgeable than when you began it. This was the person that many had come to know. But this tribute is more about the many layers of a man who lived a simple life in practice but based his way of life on an absolute set of complex ideas. This tribute is about sharing with you some of the things that you may not have known about Brother Ahmad, but that his children – born of the union with his first wife Renet Harlow - have kept in their memories and conversations over their lifetime: · His favorite place in the world was Fox Lake Indiana. As a young man he was one of the head life guards down at the lake front and helped to start the Fox Lake Sharks swim club. As recently as 3 years ago, when visiting Fox Lake with family and friends, Brother Ahmad and his good friend Tony Dixon - also a former Fox Lake life guard - teamed up to rescue a drowning girl. That’s right, he was 72 years old and Mr. Dixon not far behind.

· Brother Ahmad went to Tilden High School in Chicago and played on their football and basketball teams. At that time, black students were newly integrating Tilden, and Brother Ahmad and the other black students were harassed by many of the white students and teachers on a daily basis. This experience would prove to be pivotal with regard to shaping his views about black people living in a country in which they were not wanted.

· As a teenager, Brother Ahmad coached the Wabash YMCA swim team for several years, creating one of the best swim teams in the state of Illinois. When he swam casually, his children and others would marvel as they watched him swim 3 and sometimes 4 lengths under water without coming up for a breath. Of course he taught all of his children how to swim as well as helped his grandchildren learn to swim.

· Many of you may not know that as his children grew older and moved out of the house, every year without fail, on their birthday, they were sure to get at least 4 things from their father: a phone call, “Happy Birthday” sung to them over the phone, a letter written in excellent cursive writing telling them how special they were, and a check in the amount of their age. “You’re going to be rich one day” he would say heartily as his children reached their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. Over the past 17 years he continued this tradition with his 5 grand children. This year on his 75th birthday in September, his children honored him with a party, a “Happy Birthday” song, and cash in the amount of his age times 10. He was overwhelmed with emotion and said that this was the best birthday celebration that he ever had.

· Many probably didn’t know that as a young man, Brother Ahmad sang in a do-op group and performed at the old Regal Theater in Chicago. He had a good sounding voice and often sang to his children while playing the ukulele, guitar, and bongos. He was self-taught with regard to playing these instruments and also taught himself how to play the piano. His children would frequently request his guitar services and that mellow voice for favorites such as “Yellow Bird”, “Don’t Worry Bouta-Ting”, and “When I reached Jamaica I made a Stop”.

· Brother Ahmad took his children around to the most unlikely of places like hospital emergency rooms, police stations, poor and down-trodden areas, and courtrooms. When they would ask, “Daddy, why these places?”, he would always say, “ I’ll tell you when you get older”. It didn’t take long for his children to realize that he was exposing them to the harshness and realities of the real world. · Brother Ahmad was one of the most widely read people that you will ever know. He felt an obligation to share his knowledge with family and friends, and he did so on a regular basis. One of the many ways he did this was as a regular columnist for the Muhammad Speaks newspaper where he would recall his experiences in, and teachings of, the Nation of Islam under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him).

· Brother Ahmad was always on time; suit and tie, walking with a brisk step, and often with a smile on his face.

· Despite being the victim of several robberies and attempted robberies, and despite being held at gun point on several occasions, Brother Ahmad and his wife Sister Patricia decided to stay in their place of residence and try to change the thinking and behaviors of a neighborhood infested with gangs, drugs, and a host of other community ills. He implemented programs to help lift the spirits of the young boys and young men in the neighborhood. He spoke to them on a regular basis. He saw many make strong efforts to rise above their circumstances only to be taken before their time to the ruthlessness of the streets. But it was his effort and commitment to his neighborhood that made him special.

Employing those willing to do an honest day’s work; rewarding the school age children for completing assignments that he would give to them. Every minute of every day of his life was spent in this regard. · I mentioned his wife Sister Patricia. Yes, for the past 15 years, they have been very happily married; He would talk about how they worked and grew together as a team, worked out any pressing issues through mutual respect and civil conversation, and simply enjoyed each other’s company. His children, Renee, Renard, Rand, and Roxanna, truly thank Pat for giving their father these wonderful years.

· And this may not be a secret, and certainly Sister Patricia can testify to it, Brother Ahmad had a definite weak spot for ice cream. He always had a sweet tooth, and ice cream fit the bill.

What else can I tell you about Brother Ahmad? Well believe me, there is so much more to tell about this wonderful human being. Suffice it to say that – without a doubt – he was a man of his word, he would do anything to help his children and the Believers in Messenger Elijah Muhammad’s Teachings to move forward and in a positive direction, and he always thought of others before he would think of himself.

Yes, Brother Ahmad was many things to many people, and meant more to all of them than he ever knew: Yes, he was more than what he seemed He gave us hope, he dared to dream And now his spirit, though unseen It shines on others like a beam Of Light Of Might Of Strength Of Will He was more than what he seemed May Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, Be Pleased with him.

The best example is in the Messenger By

Brother Mutakbbir Ali In the name of Allah, who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is due. We thank Allah for giving us a guiding light in the personage of the most Hon. Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him).

I greet you with the greetings of peace, we say: As Salaam Alaikum.

By Allah’s will I pray that the Ramadan (month of December) fast has rewarded your hearts with victory.

While fasting, I was blessed to reflect on the miraculous history of the Messenger in overcoming and defeating his enemies at every turn.

All prophets and messengers of the past had to contend with the hypocrites, disbelievers and demons, yet Allah’s faithful servants, were rewarded with victory.

Messenger Elijah Muhammad, taught us that Allah in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, came in July of 1930 and raised him from the dead (ignorant) in a short period of time of three and half years; then Master Fard Muhammad left, leaving the work to Messenger Elijah Muhammad to do.

Although, this history is well documented within the scriptures, I can’t help but to notice that many men have appeared on the scene claiming some kind of connection to the Messenger as his divine extension, and that under their guidance and understanding you will be prepared to enter a higher level or plane of existence.

The scriptures say: “Woe to those who deal in fraud.”

The Messenger has given us a foundation; our restrictive laws will elevate us to higher levels, if obeyed.

Jailing of Black Mother should be a wake up call to Teach our Own OHIO--People

(Black and white) all over the United States are in a frenzy over the jailing of a Black mother, who wrote her father’s address (instead of her own) on school papers so that her daughters could attend a “better” (white) school.

The mother, Kelley WilliamsBolar, and her children live in downtown Akron, where the school district has a much lower academic record and the neighborhood is plagued by drugs and crime.

After twelve break-ins at her home, Kelley set up arrangements with her father and registered her two daughters with the CopleyFairlawn School District in the suburbs of Akron, Ohio, near her father's home.

Kelley was arrested after the school district hired a private investigator, who videotaped her driving into the predominantly white district to deliver the children to school.

Even though both, Kelley and Her father, Edward Williams, testified that the children stayed at both places, Kelley was convicted of falsifying her residency records.

Kelley was sent to jail for ten days, placed on two years probation, and ordered to complete 80 hours of community service for a felony conviction of “falsifying records”, Kelley left the courtroom handcuffed, screaming and crying.

She was also facing one count of grand theft (Prosecutors said the

lies cost the district about $30,000), but the judge declared a mistrial on that charge after the jury couldn’t reach a verdict.

Kelley could have been sent to a state prison for up to 10 years, but Judge Patricia A. Cosgrove decided on a 10-day sentence in the Summit County Jail after weighing Williams-Bolar’s lack of criminal record with the seriousness of her crimes. "I felt that some punishment or deterrent was needed for other individuals who might think to defraud the various school systems," The devil s a smart crooked deceiver! They pulled the old “good cop/bad cop” routine on us to try to keep us from “using” what they call “the race card”.

The school district very strategically used a Black “Uncle Tom” prosecutor who beat the sister down unmercifully in the courtroom. The white (devil) woman judge came to the rescue to save the “lil’ black chilln’s mammy” (just like in the movies). Kelley was smart enough to use a white attorney. (wink wink) So now they expect us to “hate the Blackman” and “Love the white woman”. No sir! We are on to that old trick.

The Messenger taught us about the devil. He can’t fool us nowadays!

We don’t hate the brother. We know he is a blind, deaf and dumb, mentally dead Black man. And we know the white man (AND WOMAN) is the devil!

Kelley Williams-Bolar stands next to her lawyer Kerry O'Brien (left) at sentencing on January 18, 2011

We also know that Messenger Elijah Muhammad and his followers went to jail and battled (even physically) in courts in order to keep our (Black) Muslim children OUT of Public School, in the 1930’s.

The Messenger taught us to teach our own!

The Messenger taught us, “THE MOTHER IS A SCHOOL” The Messenger said, “We refused to let children take their first courses in the public schools, although the high school children in their upper teens could do so.

But let us shape our children first...They wanted to school our children, they wanted them to go to their public schools.”

Today, students from first grade to college can use the internent to receive their education right at home.

Even mother’s who work are able to educate their own children at home, either by adjusting their work schedules or hiring tutors.

If there’s a will, there’s a way!

Our success is obeying Allah and His Messenger, Allah has made the truth so plain that a fool will find it hard to error.

There is no need to look to another for guidance; we have the best example in the Messenger.

To expect another to take you to a higher plane is to say that the Messenger’s work was insufficient.

When Allah raises a Messenger there are no insufficiencies.

Remember that Allah u Akbar (God is the greatest), and that His words through His Messengers, will stand the test of time. As stated in the Holy Quran chapter 31 verse 26 & 27: “To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth.

Surely Allah is the Self-Sufficient, the Praised. And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea with seven more seas added to it (were ink), the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.”

Every believer must obey the Messenger’s teachings. We have the books, the tapes, the lessons and the example of the Messenger right in our midst. So what’s the problem?

We even have an economic program (blueprint) that was given to us from Allah in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, and all we have to do is follow the blueprint and we will be successful.

Our current condition is only the result of deviating from the truth, for it is written in the Bible of Matthew chapter 24 verse 4 & 5 “…Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ (crusher of the wicked); and shall deceive many.”

The path of salvation is the teachings that the Messenger gave to us and His example is the best, as it is written in the Holy Quran chapter 33 verse 21: “ Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example for him who hope in Allah and the latter day, and remembers Allah much. “ The significance of Messenger Muhammad’s excellent example for the faithful can be found in the fact that none have been able to do or duplicate it in any shape, form or fashion.

In spite, of leaders who profess the love of the Blackman and woman they have failed to lead their people to Muhammad’s program in order that we can live as an Independent Nation of Islam.

Brother Mutakabbir Ali The best example is in the Messenger.

Allah so loved the world that he gave us a Messenger to lead us to the promise land by obeying the restrictive laws of Islam 100%.

Success and unity comes from obeying the law. I can’t emphasis that enough!

Blackness won’t unify us! Money won’t unify us!

The Messenger said: Islam, “it is the only religion that has the divine power to unite us and save us from the destruction of the War of Armageddon, which is now.

It is also the only religion in which the believer is really divinely protected. It is the only religion that will survive the Great Holy War, or the final war between Allah (God) and the devil.

Islam will put the black man of America on top of the civilization…”From Message to the Blackman in America page 85.

Read and study the guidance we have. Continue to be disciplined in obeying the Messenger. Let no one take you off the path in which Allah has bestowed favor upon.

Square up, this is the time for the righteous!

Are there any Muslims other than righteous?

I beg your pardon? I have never heard of one.

Remember, we have a Messenger and in that we have the best example.

“O you, who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is best and more suitable to (achieve) the end.” Holy Quran chapter 4 verse 59.

As Salaam Alaikum Your brother Mutakabbir Ali

The Blackman’s Guide To Understanding the Black Woman Continued from page 3 to decide who’s going to live or die and how slow they are going to die, by what we feed them. We have a very powerful position. That’s not a small role that we play. We have just been taught to misrepresent and misuse that power.

The people who we have been counting on to give us the truth about how to get along have failed.

White people don’t know how to get along! They don’t have that information themselves. They don’t get along with nobody on earth. So they don’t have no information to impart to us about how to get along with one another. They change their relationship rules at will.

We have tons of Black children around this country (who I hear from) who have grown up traumatized by fact that they were referred to as “the outside child”. You know when we were having children like that, white people called it “illegitimate children”, until the white woman started having them. Now they call it “single parenting.” They change the rules according to what they are doing.

So I call upon our people to change according to what we want to do and what are needs are.

There is another need that has not been addressed in our community

because nobody would deal with it and that one that God did not create three sexes. We only have men and women. Now I have not said that we should reject sisters who are trying to act like men, nor the men who are trying to act like women. I’m not saying to reject them from among us but they need to be taught. We don’t have to accept that as some kind of normalcy, because THAT’S NOT NORMAL!!!

You know when we were doing it we were called, “punks” and “faggots”. But because now the white people want to openly practice it, now it’s called “an alternative life-style”.

I’m trying to demonstrate how they have set rules that they have forced us to follow that they don’t even follow themselves. They change the rules to suit them when they get ready. We can change them to suit us, when we get ready. Especially when we have what we have now, which is a failing system. It hasn’t worked for us. We don’t have to be ashamed that it hasn’t worked for us. But we do should b e ashamed of the fact that we keep plodding behind it and not trying to make the corrections that will help our people to survive.

Brother John 9X PROVIDENCE, Rhode Islan--A-Salaam-

Alaikum, Brothers and Sisters I hope you are on the straight path. We are entering a special time, the time before Saviour’s Day. We should try to be more thoughtful, more reflective.

We should try to read and study our lessons even more. But let us consider the forbidden fruit……….what is it, Brothers and Sisters?

We know that it is something we should stay away from because it is something forbidden.

Maybe we should stay away from the “forbidden fruit” in the same way that we stay away from the forbidden food, pork.

But who made that fruit forbidden? Was it almighty Allah (God) or was it someone else?

When most of us think about the forbidden fruit, we think about an apple because were taught that there was an apple in the Garden of Eden that the devil who was a serpent tempted Eve with.

He told her she could eat it even though God had told Adam and Eve not to, and that it was from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

When Adam and Eve ate from it they immediately realized that they were naked.

They hid from God and were ashamed. Their punishment was to be kicked out of the Garden.

They were never to live in paradise again.

Messenger Elijah Muhammad taught us in His Book, The Message To The Blackman in America, that “The Bible is twothirds Prophecy”. And we learned from The Messenger, to think to look at things carefully, analytically.

A fruit is a physical food that nourishes us. It provides us with strength. In the same way, knowledge is a spiritual food which strengthens us mentally.

It provides us with information about the world around us. So the question becomes is there a prohibited knowledge?

Yes! There is a knowledge of good and evil that the god of this evil world (the devil - white man) does not want you to know.

Every day the devil (white man) wants us to believe in his world. He wants us to believe in his sports and games. To believe in his lotteries that don’t give us a chance. To believe in a job which won’t be there for us tomorrow. To believe in an education system that will only lead to a dead end!

When we eat the “forbidden fruit” we realize that we are naked. When we learn the Teachings of Messenger Elijah Muhammad, we actually learn to dress properly. We learn to be ashamed to come out of the house and walk down the street half-naked. We realize that we are lost found Brothers and Sisters and that what we thought was good, was really evil, and what we thought was evil, was really good. We find out that we live in the wilderness of North America. We realize that the forbidden fruit is the knowledge, the lessons, of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

The forbidden fruit is not something we should avoid. It is something we should eat again and again. The tree that the white man does not want you to eat from is The teachings Our Messenger learned from God Himself, Who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad. The One true and living God for the Black Man and Woman.

The devil doesn’t want us to know these things. That’s why he says that they are “hate” teachings. That’s why to him they ARE “forbidden fruit”!

When we learn the Teachings of Messenger Elijah Muhammad, we find out that the white man is the devil and the black man is the god of righteousness. We

leave the “fools paradise”, the life of “sport and play”. Brothers, Sisters let’s finally get it together!

Let’s accept our own, and let’s do for self. Let’s place these teachings front and center in our lives where they belong. And please, I know I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, please please, let’s stop dancing with the devil once and for all!

FROM THE INTERNET

Taco Bell’s meat not real, but guess what...

The following excerpt is from The Natural News Website By Mike Adams, aka, the Health Ranger Of all these people sounding the alert over Taco Bell's beef, how many of them ever read the ingredients of the food they buy at Taco Bell in the first place? How many read ingredients at ANY restaurant? How many read the ingredients of the foods they buy at the grocery store?

How many consider whether their favorite restaurants are cooking their food on toxic nonstick cookware?

The answer is virtually none. Because if mainstream America actually read (and understood) the chemicals going into the foods they buy every single day -- like bacon, sausage, canned soups and processed foods -- there would be an overnight food revolt that would make Taco Bell's beef burrito issue seem irrelevant...

Because Taco Bell's ingredient list isn't any worse than what you find in canned soups at your grocery store right now. And if you really want to find some toxic foods, look into the children's frozen food section where you'll find some of the most obnoxious and damaging chemicals of all, including sodium nitrite which causes cancer, and artificial colors which are derived from coal tars.

Eat up, America! The beef in your burrito is no more fake than the idea that the FDA-approved processed dead food supply is somehow good for your health. By the way, you're also paying for your fake food using fake money being counterfeited by the Federal Reserve faster than you can say, "genetically modified soybean filler material."

HOW TO EAT TO LIVE www.muhammadspeaks.com

We dig our graves with our teeth

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad Reprinted from How To Eat To Live, Book 2, Chapter 8 The very words, "how to eat to live," is one of the great values in words for us. In these words, we see and we are learning that what we put in us as food, at what time we eat that food, and what type of food we eat, is the key to our life and death.

We can use these words, "how to eat to live," to spell how we destroy ourselves.

We must look at these words and teachings of how to eat to live in a more serious way. This is why we suffer so much sickness and death.

It is because we do not take how to eat to live in a more serious way.

There is no common sickness that cannot be healed by proper eating of the right foods.

I, myself, know, having experience of both the right kind of foods and the wrong kind of foods.

Allah (God) has Taught me and I tried everything first, myself. I am a self experienced man and an example of what Allah (God) Taught me.

I went for years without eating but one meal a day, and years with eating one meal every three days.

So, I know these teachings of Allah (God) are True.

Here of late, I have suffered many pains from venturing away from eating the way Allah (God) Taught me. It caused me discomfort, pains, and minor sickness. I deliberately did this, in some instances, so that I will know what happens when you are not following the Teachings.

So, as it is written, in all their afflictions, he was afflicted (meaning the Messenger of God).

Eating the proper food once a day will keep you free of sickness for a long time, probably for years.

This, I know by self experience.

By eating two or three meals a day, you are inviting some days of discomfort and illness to yourself, and by eating food that does not belong to the body that it is going into, you are making trouble for the body to digest such foods and drinks.

We suffer with many ailments in our bodies due to the fact that we are pouring into it food that should not be put in that body (which is the finest nature built machinery on Earth), and due to the fact that we are not waiting until the strength or power of the poison in the previous meal becomes weak, so that it will be harmless when the strength of a new meal it added. But, twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours will destroy the poison from the previous meal and make it harmless.

Eat when you have exhausted the previous meal, Allah (GOD) Taught me; then fill up and go until this is exhausted, and then eat another meal. It is logical. As I keep repeating, we dig our own graves, and I may add here that we bring about our own death with our teeth.

Sugar diabetes can be controlled by eating the proper food in such a way that you will never know that you ever had it and you will never see any sign of it. But, you must not continue to pour in the body power and strength of sugar from your meals that add to the sugar spilling over in your body.

Naturally, it is going to reach out for something or it is going to flood itself after putting too much sugar and starch in the body. But, some of us are so built upon eating what we want that we just cannot abstain from eating these starches and sweet foods.

These things are nothing but friends to the sugar diabetic condition.

Stay away from it and you will live longer, for diabetes is an evil enemy. It is an enemy to both the flesh and bones of the body.

If you will stop eating foods such as sugar and starchy foods, I know you will do better. I have been self experienced in everything, and I have been a victim of everything that you are a victim of, except cancer. I do not think that I have cancer; but as I mentioned in this book before, The Last Messenger is not immune to the sickness and complaints of the common people.

He is also to suffer; but yet, as the Book says, the Pleasure of the Lord is with him and that in His Own Good Time, He Will Heal all of us. So, this is the way Allah (God) has taught me; to heal our

Honorable Elijah Muhammad MESSENGER OF ALLAH sickness and prolong our lives with one meal a day. And, whenever those of you who work in offices and do light work are able, you can eat one meal every forty-eight 48) hours; which would give you more days to your life. Do not say, "I am already so old that I do not have much longer to live anyway. That is true, but if you want to add a few more days to this already distant age you have, you can add to your life by stopping right now from plunging into the grave, and you could add more days to your life.

DO YOU KNOW THE TIME? By Minister Kemani Wadud OKLAHOMA CITY--

As Salaam Alaikum, there is no God but Allah who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad is his last and greatest messenger.

We are at the time of a beginning of a new year 2011, but do you really know what time it is?

We are in a vacuum of time, the end of the time of the six thousand year rule of the Devil, and the beginning of the seventh thousand year of the rule of the Blackman.

Exodus 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to You a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord, whoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

The Messenger taught us "A Day" can mean one thousand years unto the Lord (God).

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said "the work" refers to the Devils labor for the last 6,000 years and the Sabbath is the Seventh Day of the Lord, the Master. Master Fard Muhammad who came to redeem the Lost Sheep (the so-called American negros) the Black Nation to be his people.

This Devil has been disagreeable to live in peace for the last 6,000 years and has mistreated us so cruelly of any other people

in history after taking us from our native land and people now 456 years.

We the so-called American negroes were the people that were sold for a price, like cattle.

Since being forced here in America, we have lack of even good food, clothes and shelter to this very day.

That is why a Savior, Master Fard Muhammad had to come to the socalled American negroes.

We, the Black Nation (the socalled American negroes) are now called to do the will of Allah (God) Master Fard Muhammad and not of Satan, the Devil.

Abraham, Noah and Moses were a sign for us to leave the wicked people and their ways.

We, the so-called American negro are the Lost sheep, not Israel.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was almost getting sick of our people so far from the truth, referring to Israel as the lost sheep.

We the so-called negroes, made in America, are the lost sheep in the house of Israel (the Caucasian people).

Mary, Joseph and Jesus were a sign for us, according to the Holy Quran (Muhammad Ali 23:50, “And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and We gave them refuge on a lofty ground having meadows and springs.”

America is still trying to kill, and is killing us to this present day,

Millions of Americans get Food Poisoning Each Year According to two reports, published December 15, 2011, by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some 48 million people, or one in every six Americans, are sickened by the food they eat.

Of those who get sick, about 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die annually.

Many of the deaths and hospitalizations are due to what they call salmonella. According to the reports, “These are preventable diseases,” and the scientist say they “know what interventions work to prevent them”.

Most cases of salmonella are the result of eating from institutional kitchens and restaurants.

Since cooking food will usually kill the salmonella bacteria, raw or under-cooked meat and eggs were blamed most by scientists as the major cause. Running a close second, they blamed the

employees who handle food, people who work with food but don’t wash their hands either after handling raw meat or eggs or not washing their hands after using the bathroom.

Beware of Deceptive Food Labels Big-name food and cereal companies, including “Betty Crocker”, “Pillsbury”, “General Mills”, and “Kelloggs” have been caught 'faking' the blueberries in their cereals, muffins and other products.

Instead of real blueberries, these companies have been using sugar, food dye and oil to make fake blueberries. While some of the product listed “blueberry bits” in the ingredients. The so-called blueberry bits don’t contain blueberries at all.

while even in our mother's womb.

The Blackman and Blackwoman have been hung many times in trees, here in the wilderness of America.

Jesus and his disciples shucked and ate corn while being hungry on what the Jews call the Sabbath day.

Jesus, in Matthew 12:1-12, reminded the Jews that the Sabbath day was not made for them, the Lord is the Master of the Seventh day.

We have, among our people, "Toms" (so-called American negro leaders hand-picked by the Devil) who, because of fear and doubt, mix truth with falsehood to keep our people in the Devils' net.

We have our Divine Leader, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who said these socalled leaders "Toms" are not worth the salt it takes to leaven bread.

We will not miss these "Toms" if they continue to foolishly attempt try to kept our people from awaking.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said we thank Allah (God) these "Toms" are a little too late.

The Messenger said, Allah (God) knew your plans before you were created, and these "Toms" attempting to pacify you and I will not be successful, thanks to Allah(God) Master Fard Muhammad.

“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.”

Holy Quran 13:41 Those who worship the Enemy, the Devil and His mark went down with the Beast (the Caucasian Race) in the Lake Of Fire, alive.

Why are some of our people cast in the Lake Of Fire? It is because they doubt that power of Almighty (God) Allah over the power of the Devils (Satan).

We see, read , hear and understand in his media, how this, Caucasian race (Satan) is insane trying to destroy the people of the nations of the Earth, to keep his deceit going in the hearts and minds of the people.

What are we to do in this time?

We believe as God and his Messenger believe.

Almighty (God) Allah Master Fard Muhammad wants for us to carry out the instructions of one chosen by God, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said for us to unite.

Minister Kemani Wadud We are to do the will of Allah (God) Master Fard Muhammad.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that Allah Master Fard Muhammad will whip us into submission if we don't submit willingly.

That is all Islam really means "entire submission to the will of (God) Allah and that is all a Muslim is: "One who submits his or her will to do the Will of Almighty (God) Allah.

Fly to Allah and the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him) will show You the way.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, come on, let us unite, we will get no place but hell for not uniting.

Believers unite, and those interested in being a Believer, unite for Saviour's Day in Detriot, Michigan February 26, 2011.

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad Reprinted by popular request from the August 1, 1969 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper

Allah, Himself, has said that we cannot return to our land until we have a through knowledge of our own selves. This first step is the control and the protection of our own women. There is no nation on earth that has less respect for and little control of their women as we so-called Negroes here is America. Even animals and beasts, the fowls of the air, have more love and respect for their females than have the so-called Negroes of America.

Our women are allowed to walk or ride the streets all night long, with any strange men they desire.

They are allowed to frequent any tavern or dance hall that they like, whenever they like. They are allowed to fill our homes with children other than our own.. Children that are often fathered by the very devil himself. Then, when the devil man decides to marry her, the so-called Negro press and magazines will make it front page news. The daily press will not print a so-called Negro man marrying into their race, but you seem to think it is an honor to your own nation when your daughter goes

over to your enemies, the devils.

Our women have been and are still being used by the devil white race, ever since we were first brought here to these States as slaves. They cannot go without being winked at, whistled at, yelled at, slapped, patted, kicked and driven around in the streets by your devil enemies right under your nose. Yet you do nothing about it, nor do you even protest.

You cannot control or protect your women as long as you are in the white man’s false religion called Christianity. This religion of theirs gives you no desire or power to resist them. The only way and place to solve this problem is in the Religion of Islam.

The It is a pleasure to Allah Shyless to defend us from our enemies. In the religion of Christianity the white race has had us

worshiping and praying to something that actually did not even exist.

Islam will not only elevate your women but will also give you the power to control and protect them. We protect ours against all their enemies.

We protect our farms by pulling up our weeds and grass by the roots, by killing animals and birds, and by poisoning the insects that destroy our crops in order that we may produce a good crop. How much more valuable are our women, who are our fields through whom we produce our nation.

The white race does not want us to destroy their race by intermarrying with them. They will even kill you to protect their women. Can you blame them?

No, blame your foolish self for not having enough respect for your own self and your own na-

Have private pools for your women and guard them from all men. Stop them from going into bars and taverns and sitting and drinking with men and strangers.

Stop them from sitting in those places with anyone. Stop them from using unclean language in public (and at home), from smoking and drug addiction habits.

We must stop relying upon the white man to care for us. We must become an independent people.

So-called Negroes should: 1. Separate yourselves from the slave-master.

2. Pool your resources, education and qualifications for independence.

3. Stop forcing yourselves into places where you are not wanted.

4. Make your own neighborhood a decent place to live.

5. Rid yourselves of the lust of wine and drink and learn to love self and your kind before loving others.

6. Unite to create a future for yourself.

Stop allowing the white men to shake hands or speak to your women anytime or anywhere.

“God's got the key and you can’t get in”

By Bro. Khalil Shabazz The title of this article comes from the gospel song called “It’s going to rain.”

The lyrics to this song is the warning that Allah gave to Noah of the coming destruction by a terrible flood that would destroy the city and everybody in it.

The high point of the song is the verse that says “God’s got the key and you CAN’T GET IN.” These are words that none of the people, during the time of Noah wanted to hear, especially those “on the outside looking in.”

The sad thing about this history is not how terrible these words sounded to the people who couldn’t get on the Ark with Noah or how terrible the flood was and that it DID destroyed the city and everyone in it.

The sad part IS that Allah was Merciful to the people and sent them a Warner from among themselves who warned them that a flood was to come and what they needed to do to escape the destruction but only a few paid any attention to Allahs warning. So the people only had themselves to blame for not being saved from the destructive flood.

We, like the people during the time of Noah, also have a Warner.

Our warner for this present time, Mr. Elijah Muhammad was raised

by Almighty God, Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard and was given the keys that will unlock the 50 million or more “rusty locks (Black man and woman) here in America. Like Noah, Mr. Muhammad was also one from among the people. He is THE warner of the coming destruction of this present wicked world and also of the destruction of this White Race of Devils whose world we now live in.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Allah gave him and ONLY him the “keys” to our (Black man and woman in America) Salvation.

One solution or “key” that we were taught by Messenger Elijah Muhammad is “Complete Separation” from this White race of Devils and their wicked world.

This means give the Devils back his and her names, their religion of Christianity and their wicked way of life.

We were also taught by Messenger Elijah Muhammad to be watchful of the Fall of America the World of the White man and

woman. We can see that not only is the American White man and woman in trouble but their White Devil Brothers and Sisters in Europe are also in trouble.

Europe is now in a “Financial Crisis” which led to riots in Spain this past December. “Angry protesters wielded placards reading “I.M.F out! and “Let us not live as slaves.” (New York Times Dec 16, 2010) Isn’t that something how now the enslaver feels that he is treated unjustly when he is treated as a slave, but this Devil has no problem with enslaving us, giving us no justice and treating us like slaves?

We should not EVER feel sorry for the Devil White race nor should we hope that Allah “cuts them a little slack.” When you are out in the middle of the ocean drowning you shouldn’t be worried about the White man who’s at home drowning in a bath tub.

This is how the Black man looks who is more concern about the Devils and their misfortune then he is about himself and his peoples suffering.

We should only worry ourselves

with doing all that we can to Please Almighty God Allah so that he will f ind us worthy to escape this wicked world destruction.

We don’t want to be found among those loving the Devil or “sweet hearting” with them making ourselves “companions of the fire.”

Meetings are also being held by the European Union to “increase the lending” from a “backstop” fund designed “to rescue countries threatened by the debt crisis.” (New York Times Dec 14, 2010). We see that the more trouble the Devils get in the more they want to make “false friendship” with the Black man and woman.

We are warned not to fall for this trick that our enemies plot and plan out of desperation and as a last effort to get as many of us to go to hell with them as they can.

So they now try to make us to believe that we have a “bright future” here in America with them.

Don’t fall for it! The Devils don’t love us Black Brother and Sister!

He doesn’t even love himself!

Thank you for reading Muhammad Speaks!!

beer and other intoxicating. They have made prostitutes of our women. They have caused some of our women to love other women and men to love men and practice sex relations with their own sex.

They have our people addicted to the worst kind of filth. They have made you dependent upon filth and vulgarity for survival.

They have made us eaters of the forbidden and poisoned swine.

They have made us to have wicked, swearing mouths against the Most High God, Allah. But Allah knows the guilty ones, and you shall soon see the reality about which I have been warning you for the past 31 years made manifest in this rich, wicked world of Satan The white race was not made to obey the Divine Law. They were made to oppose it, therefore following after them and doing what they do will lead you to hell. It is no excuse for you.

The average so-called Negro thinks it is all right for him to be evil too, but we are two different peoples. The so-called American Negro is a Divine member lost from the Divine circle, while the slave master, who has been his teacher, is an enemy to God, by nature.

This is why the Bible teaches you that hell was created for them the day they were made.

So, do not practice the evil things that the white race is doing, as you are following them now.

If they pull off their clothes, you will pull off yours.

Do you think you have an option to ignore divine law, while you do not? A doom is set for the whole race of them, and you will share their doom with them if you continue to eat and drink intoxicating drinks just because you see them doing such things and going nude in public (women with dresses above their knees and men wearing just trunks in public). You are following one of the most filthy things that even an animal could follow, by doing such things.

White people do this to tempt you to do the same so that you can share hell fire with them. ...When America began to get strong in power, she opened her doors to the underprivileged (laborers) in overpopulated countries

such as China, Japan, and in Europe to seek citizenship in America.

This brought into America one of the most mixed people, who were granted the freedom to live any kind of life they chose.

They were not forced to serve the God of the universe who made heaven and earth nor any religion.

They had freedom of worship.

This made America a haven for any people who wished to be free of the compellers of religion and just rule and authority. This people for the past five hundred years have put into practice every evil that is imaginable.

The freedom of uncleanliness is granted and is worshiped. The percentage of sexual worship of the same sex is greater than any government on the face of the earth.

Little children are being taught sex almost from the cradle, making the whole nation, as one man put it, "nearly 90 percent freaks of nature."

It is common to see on the streets of any metropolitan city of America men sweet-hearting with men and women sweet-hearting with women. Little boys with boys and little girls with girls.

It is common that a decent family is puzzled as to where to send their children for schooling. There are no all girl schools as there once were. They are all girls schools of sweethearts; the same sex falling upon their own. Boys’ colleges are breeding such filthy practice; the jail houses, prisons, and the federal penitentiaries are all breeding dens of homosexuals.

As the Prophet says in the 18th chapter; "She is a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." There are types of hateful birds. This is why a symbolical name is given. It means human beings. There are birds of prey and birds that are unclean such as crows, owls, buzzards and ravens who live and thrive off the carcass of others. And there are unclean people living and thriving off the unclean.

It is time that God intervenes to bring about an end of such people as the wicked of America. She offers the same filth to all of the civilized of the earth, and she hates you if you are against her way of life and will threaten you with death as the Sodomites did Lot and his followers. But I say to you as the Continued on page 18

WHAT ISLAM HAS DONE FOR ME By Bro. Solomon A. Rahman

Brother Solomon A. Rahman DETROIT, Mich.--Last

month, I told how I only had a 4% chance of awakening from the coma "in my right mind", suffered when, I was hit by an auto while WALKING. This month, I'd like to tell WHY I survived AND the circumstances of my regaining conciousness.

In one word, PRAYER. My mother said she prayed ONCE I would not die. When I asked, "why once?" She said, God heard her the first time.

Mesenger Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, we don't have to remind God.

I’d like to tell you Why I survived I asked her, did she ever have doubt? She said "NO". She KNEW God would answer.

The Mesenger said, We are NOT to doubt for, that would be doubting the One you submitted your prayer to.

To "stimulate" my mind, my mother kept head-phones on me attached to, a cd player.

My mother had someone with me 24hrs, so I would not be alone when, I awoke.

One of my brothers, who is also Muslim, called my Mom the hospital & offered to stay with me while, she went home.

Well, he put on a cd of, the Holy Qur'an being spoken in Arabic.

I awoke from the coma listening to, Allah's word. Praises are forever due Allah!

Do For Self and Survive By Minister Jamal Shabazz MOMENCE, Illinois--The

system we live in is clearly unstable. At anytime you may lose you job, lose government benef its, be unable to adequately pay your bills and struggle just to survive.

If you follow the American news reports and observe what is happening around you, you will see crime up, murder up, the government in debt and struggling to find any solution to stay afloat.

The Caucasian government and few select Negro servants have us involved with two un-win-able wars in Iraq and Afgahnistan.

Both of them mirror the Korean and Vietnam wars, meaning many died and were wounded in now four senseless wars.

Wars that were started by Caucasian business and political leadership for their own financial and political agenda.

America is a parable to the rise and fall of the once great Roman Empire. “And every nation has a term; so when its term comes they cannot remain behind the least while, nor can the precede (it). Holy Quran 7:34.

In the book, “The Fall of America”, on page 59 in reference to this Holy Quran verse The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches: “The above chapter and verse of the Holy Quran is a warning to the present nation whose term is now coming to an end.

If we know what is said to us and what is written, by the prophets for us to read, study, and ponder over, and if we understand, we should not fall victims of misunderstanding and disbelief ”.

The last Messenger of Allah taught us to do for self and kind.

He stressed that the American political system has failed us.

President Obama means well but he has to beg his Caucasian backers and give away the baby with the bath water to get the simplest or most basic needs.

The following are just a few do for self survival steps that we can implement. ( 1 ) Learn how and start canning and drying out food properly. By working these two processes you will always have food on the shelf. ( 2) Grow a garden. You don’t have to be living in the country to grow a garden. You don’t need a large space. A garden can be in a

(4) If you have land keep egg laying chickens, milk goats, and cows. Work the land for food to eat, barter and sale.

(5 )Use as less the grid as possible.

Meaning find and use renewable lighting, heating, and power sources . For light use candles.

Kerosene and oil lanterns/lamps, solar lights. For heat and cooking use safe wood stoves and fireplaces. When power can also be used.

(6) Use less money as possible.

Barter and sell homemade items and services to each other.

(7) For security and safety, know who you associate with. Stop assuming that everyone that portrays themselves as a Brother or Sister is truly that.

These are just a few do for self survival techniques that we all can use to become more independent.

We should not wait for a time of emergency to have a survival plan. We are called the Nation of Islam not the salvation Army.

A nation strives for independence and survival. As-Salaam-Alaikum !

Protect and Elevate Your Woman Continued from page 17 4th verse of Revelations, Chapter 18 says: You that want to be a better people than this, "come out of her."

The so-called American Negroes are referred to here in the 4th verse as being God’s people ("My people") Come out of her...that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues."

This is a call to the American socalled Negroes to give up a doomed, wicked people that has destroyed them from being a people worthy of recognition, and who have now become lovers of their enemies and destroyers.

We Must Eat as Messenger taught us

Was Abraham Successful?

By Minister Mahdi Muhammad

By Sister Rasheedah Shabazz MOMENCE, Illinois--MESSENGER

MUHAMMAD taught us that everything we put into our bodies, from hog to water, contains a small amount of poison.

This poison will be retained in your body even if you eat foods with less poison in them.

This is why the Messenger taught us to fast.

The ideal time period for fasting is three days. This is why Ramadan is not considered a fast.

Fasting is not only for physical purification but for spiritual and mental purification too.

If the mind is not clean, neither will be the body.

In “How to Eat to Live Book 2, The Messenger wrote: Fasting is a greater cure of our ills - both mentally and physically - than all of the drugs of the earth combined into one bottle or into a billion bottles...”

Fasting is the strongest and most efficient medicine, because it can be used for all ills of body and mind.

Some people think fasting is eating all you can in one day, then abstaining from food the next. This is false.

The Messenger taught that we should eat one meal a day, but, he said, eating one meal a day is not a fast.

Messenger Muhammad also taught that a fast will take away some evil desires. We know that the way the Messenger taught us to eat and to fast is for our own good and we should do as the Messenger taught.

Minister Mahdi Muhammad Muhammad Temple No. 6 BALTIMORE, Md.-- The

Qur’an states that success does not depend on numbers. That's an important distinction to make.

A lot of our people claim to be followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, yet define success by worldly standards.

We define success by fame and fortunes. Unfortunately these standards are subjective and arbitrary.

By these standards, the Nation of Islam, under the Messenger, wasn't successful.

Sure we had hundreds of thousands of believers and millions of sympathizers, but our numbers never rivaled the church.

So at what point do you judge success? A cake half-baked isn't yet a cake; but the only ingredients missing are heat and time.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that our people will not believe until after the painful chastisement comes.

The Qur'an says on that day they will believe but how will belief profit them then?

Scripture is full of hope for the believers but despair for disbelievers and nonbelievers.

The prophecy of the 144,000 is hope for the righteous but sad in the overall context of how many dies if only 144,000 are saved?

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad worked to beat that prophecy. We can, but we may not.

However, this is taught to us to prevent us from limiting our efforts.

The pain of the possibility of failure has created in some believers the desire to create different paradigms trying to tinker with the Messenger's program to make it easier to reach their definition of success.

Others change the teachings all together to accommodate the desires of the people and subsequently become hypocrites themselves. While yet still others create virtual mosques or talk shows where they can judge the efforts of others from the sidelines without being a member of a Temple or doing the work themselves.

The Messenger never answered questions about our numbers, because a general doesn't tell the enemy how many troops he has on the battlefield.

Scripture says Abraham was considered a friend of God and the father of the righteous and the father of the three monotheistic religions of the world.

The Qur'an says that Abraham was the first to call us Muslims and the first one to see our condition here in the west.

In our prayers we call for Allah to bless Muhammad and the follow-

ers of Muhammad with the success that he blessed Abraham with.

Did Abraham have fame and fortune? No. In fact the Bible says that when Allah agreed to save the cities in exchange for finding ten believers present, Abraham couldn't produce ten.

Yet he was successful.

What is our definition of success? Master Fard Muhammad provided it when he told the Messenger Elijah if you can't find one who believes 100% in everything you teach, then bring the keys and you and I will go together.

You see? The Messenger didn't have to get one million, Just one, himself, was enough. It's not the quantity of believers it's the quality of belief , i.e. 100% belief.

It's painful for the believers, Laborers, and Ministers to stand up and represent the Honorable

Elijah Muhammad, in this climate, at this time, after the Messenger's physical death.

Our people reject the message because they see it as not bearing fruit.

We teach we are gods and the original man and should seek to be more productive in order to attract the righteous. There's an old saying that ˜your actions speak so loud I can't hear what you say'.

The Messenger said he keeps the fine cars in his driveway not because he needed them or drove them but because we wouldn't listen to him if he didn't have them.

These things should never be the goal but they should be the by-product of our success.

Money, good homes and friendships in all walks of life.

So yes, today MUHAMMAD SPEAKS but it's equally important what MUHAMMAD DOES. Get to your local Temple at once!

Bearing Witness of the Will of Allah By Brother Minister Shaheed Abdul Shabazz

‘We have no excuses, We are the only ones holding ourselves back today. Every Black man, woman and child can be saved by this knowledge’ Brother Minister Shaheed Abdul Shabazz HARLEM, New York--In the name of Al-

lah, who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom all Holy Praises is due forever. We thank Allah for giving us in these last days, Our Leader Teacher and Guide, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

I give you the greatest, most civilized greeting of this Earth, AsSalaam Alaikum.

The Blackman by Nature is born a Righteous Muslim. In our lifetime, either directly through our parents or the Devil and his System, we become other our True Self. The enemy slave-making Devil deprived the Blackman of the Knowledge of Self.

An eye-of-luxury is the first thing the Blackman looks at the Devil with! The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad says “The whiteman’s Luxury”.

He got his Wealth from the free Labor of the Blackman. He enslaves all who believe in him.

The Blackman of Africa, even though they have their own country, the whiteman has robbed them of their good Land which holds the wealth. The white man became master over the wealth and tricked the poor African into working (slave), for little or nothing, to dig the wealth our of the Earth and give it to him!

All Nature bears witness to the Will of Allah! Allah is the Creator of all things; so therefore, All must Submit. However, the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind still refuse to sumbit to Allah, and Unite with their own!

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says that Unity is Key to the Blackman’s Salvation, and along with Submission to Allah’s

will, our problems would cease to exist. overnight!

Islam is the Entire Submission to Allah’s Will and His way of Life!

Islam is wisdom, Islam is the best Guidance for man. Islam means Peace. Islam is referred to as a religion, but in reality is a way of life.

Jesus said; “Blessed are the Peace makers “.

In Arabic, the word for peace comes from the root word salama.

Islam as the Scientist put it, is the

Sun of Law and Truth that outshines everything that stands for religion. This is why our Flag of Islam, is representing the Sun (Freedom), the Moon (Equality), and Stars (Justice). Islam is the Divine Duty of Creatred man, and has in it the Universal Order of things!

Islam is the right way for the Original Man; it was perscribed for us by Allah. There is no other way that we can believe in, read about, or know of, that has the Truth backed by the Universal Order!

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that our way of Life must prove itself to us every day, other wise it is not the Truth There is no escaping the Will of Allah! What is more important than our own Salvation? What is more important than having some of this good Earth we can call our own? What’s more important than Bearing Witness to the Truth?

What is more important than Submitting to the Will of Allah? Who should we fear more than Almighty God Allah?

What the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught elevated the minds of Black people all over

Warning Against Wearing Foreign Styles and Marrying Foreigners

America.

This should be proof enough of the Supreme wisdom that Messenger Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught, which he received from Allah in the person of Master Fard Muhammad for the once Physical and now Mental slaves to see our open enemy, the Devil.

The Messenger said Separation from the Devil’s Sins and Bad Habits is a must! He taught us that Separation is better than Prayer.

Look around us today and see what was prophesied to happen, as taught by Allah to Messenger Elijah Muhammad.

How much more proof of Scripture do we need?

We have no excuses, We are the only ones holding ourselves back today. Every Black man, woman and child can be saved by this knowledge.

Why not fight for our own Na-

tion, fight for our own People, our own Welfare, Security, Pursuit of Happiness, our own Heaven, instead of other peoples needs...

The so-called Negro Preachers and Leaders want Social Equality with our open enemy. Confusion is now all over the world today. The wise Devil’s see the end of their world, and want to take as many of us as possible with him into the ‘Lake of Fire’.

He can also see the great Power and Glory of the Son of Man’.

America has it coming! because of the 400 years of Affliction of her Slave and still Mal-treatment of her Freed Slaves. The so-called Negroes must awaken before it’s too late! They think the Whiteman’s Christianity will save them regardless of what happens.

They must know that the Whiteman’s religion is not from God, nor from Jesus nor any of the Prophets of Old. It is designed and controlled by the Devil him self!

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad Reprinted from June 28, 1968 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper

This is a warning to the M.G.T & G.C.C. against adopting the African dress and hair styles (this applies to the Brothers of the F.O.I. also) and seeking to intermarry with foreign people whether they are Muslims or not; and against accepting traditional African tribal styles and garments with gay colors.

Such Sisters will be dismissed, from now on, from the circle of Islam, wherein I am the shepherd.

No style of dress is to be warn but the style of real Muslim people and the one that I am offering to you. The head piece of traditional and tribal African people who are other than Believers of Islam is also forbidden for you to accept.

If you are not satisfied with the styles I give you then I am not satisfied with you being my follower.

Do not love to marry foreign people other than your people of America (your own Black brothers and sisters who have been lost

and now found by God, Himself).

If you do, I will no longer respect you as my follower.

Remember what intermarriage did for the people of Moses in Median and elsewhere wherever they mixed with foreign people?

They took them away from their God and they were forbidden by Allah to intermarry with people whose faith was not their own and later, a death penalty was effected on them for such things, because the love of such foreign disbelievers takes away your faith and your religion that God, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, has given to you for your success.

As intermarrying with foreigners did to the people in the time of Moses, it will do the same here in this day and time, if you marry foreign disbelievers and traditionalists. They were not believers in Islam and brothers and sisters who are going "drunk" in love with just Continued on page 26

White Folks becoming the new minority According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, the “non-hispanic white population is decreasing”. The Census Bureau predicts that by the turn of the century, “less than 53 percent would be non-Hispanic White 16 percent would be Black; 23 percent would be Hispanic origin; 10 percent would be Asian and Pacific Islander; and about 1 percent would be American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut.”

The Census Bureau reports that “The U.S. population growth rate is slowing” and that Non-Hispanic Whites are “the slowest growing group” Before 1990, whites made up almost 75 percent of the total population, but between 1990 and 2000 contributed only 35 percent of the total population growth between 1990 and 2000, and decreased again to 23 percent between 2000 and 2010.

According Census Bureau’s middle-series projection, the Black population would increase over 20 million by 2030. And the Black population would double its present size to 62 million by 2050.

But, the Census predicts that the fastest growing race groups will continue to be the Asian and Pacific Islander population with annual growth rates that may triple by 2020, and increase to more than 5 times its current size, to 41 million by 2050.

Projections show growth of the be the largest growing group - 45 percent from 2010 to 2030, and 60 percent from 2030 to 2050.

The two major components driving the population growth are fertility (births) and immigration.

According to the middle series, the number of births each year would exceed the highest annual number of births ever achieved in the United States. In fact, about 86 percent of the population growth during the year 2050 may be due to the effects of post-1992 immigration.

It’s no wonder why Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (a white woman) told the New York Times, during an interview published July 7, 2009, that legalizing abortions was "about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."

Allah’s Blessing By Minister Khalil Muhammad In The Name of Allah Who Came To Us In The Divine Person of Master Fard Muhammad To Whom All Holy Praise Is Due Forever, And In The Name of His Last And Most Surely, His Greatest Messenger, Our Divine, Leader, Teacher And Perfect Guide, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

I greet you all in our Nation`s greeting words of peace, As Salaam Alaikum.

The subject, I have chosen, is taken from the Holy Quran Sura (Chapter) 29 Al-Ankabut: The Spider, SECTION 6: Warning and Consolation, Say, Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you-He knows what is in the heavens and the earth.

And they ask thee to hasten on the chastisement.

And had not a term been appointed, the chastisement would certainly have come to them all of a sudden, while they perceive not. They ask thee to hasten on the chastisement, and surely hell encompasses the disbelievers. The day when the chastisement will cover them from above them, and from beneath their feet. And

He will say: Taste what you did.

O My servants who believe, surely My earth is vast, so serve Me only.

Every soul must taste of death, then to Us you will be returned. And those who believe and do good, We shall certainly give them an abode in high places in Garden wherein flow rivers, abiding therein. Excellent the reward of the workers, Who are patient and on their Lord they rely.

And how many a living creature carries not its sustenance, Allah sustains it and yourselves. And He is Hearing, the Knowing. And if thou ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the sun and the moon subservient? they then turned away? Allah makes abundant the means of subsistence, straitens (them) for him. Surely Allah, Nay, most of them understand not.

What wonderful words of The Holy Quran!

Here, Allah lets us know that He is the Best Knower and those that disbelieve in Him will surely die.

And then Allah says that they will ask for the chastisement to be speeded up.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to us that the devil would become so sick of his own evil that he, himself, would

ask for his own end to come, "Think Over That".

Allah goes on to say that the chastisement will come from above.

This reference I believe is referring to the "Wheel" or Mother Plane".

All Praise is due to Master Fard Muhammad.. and from beneath their feet, in the form of "Fire" from the bombs dropped from the Baby Planes . Allah-u-Akbar!

Allah then assures Us that we will get a Great Reward if we are workers, meaning working in the cause of Islam.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad stated to Us, that when Allah returns, let Him find Us working.

This section has clearly shown us that Allah has all power, He has warned us of the chastisement for disbelief and He has consoled us with good news, if we obey Him and are found working.

The Messenger of Allah Teaches Us, From The Great Book ,The Fall of America, Remember the people of Noah had no prophets nor scripture before Noah.

Again, remember ,that even as

Minister Khalil Muhammad the Israelites, had no previous scriptures before Moses. You, Black brother, are better off. You have all of the whole six thousand years of the white man on the planet earth.

Will you be so foolish as to delay in making a good decision until you( as the Holy Quran and the Bible teaches us) see “the angels coming in the clouds” before you make up your mind?

Maybe you would, even reject that. But as the Holy Quran teaches you, When the angels come in the clouds of heaven they will not be coming to do anything like preaching or giving you further knowledge. It is prophesied that on the Day of Judgment the angels will come to execute judgment on you for not believing and to save those who do believe.

Black people in America suffer from Stockholm Syndrome By

Brother David Muhsin DETROIT, Mich.--When you look at this title a few questions may arise like, what is Stockholm Syndrome, how did we get it, how long have we had it, and what is the cure? In this article I plan to answer these questions and take an in depth look into Stockholm Syndrome and into how it relates to black men and women in America.

Basically Stockholm Syndrome is a disorder normally associated with hostage victims, who develop compassion and even loyalty for the one who has captured them.

Signs of Stockholm Syndrome are also commonly found in abusive relationships, wherein the victim of the abuse doesn’t want to leave the abuser.

Before I go further into how Stockholm Syndrome relates to us as black people, let’s look at some history on this disorder.

The disorder got its name from Stockholm, Sweeden. In 1973 there was a bank robbery in Stockholm, where 4 hostage victims were held in a vault from August 23 to August 28. After 5 days (130 hours), the hostages were finally released. When they were in-

terviewed and questioned about the incident the victims looked upon there situation as a positive one.

Some even defended the robbers.

They didn’t even want to testify against the bank robbers, saying that they were more afraid of the police who where trying to save them. This obviously came as a surprise to the police and also the psychiatrist (Nils Bejerot) assigned to help with the hostage negotiation. Nills Bejerot, after witnessing this ordeal, gave the condition the name Stockholm Syndrome, Since 1973 the condition is known quite commonly among law enforcement and Psychiatrist. The explanation for this disorder, is very similar to the reason many victims of domestic abuse stay loyal to there abuser. Domestic abuse victims Fear being helped, because any acceptance of help causes a confrontation with there abuser and makes the victims situation risky, so they shut out any form of assistance, in order to eliminate making the situation worst. Psychiatrist say that this curious reaction is a defense mechanism for the victim to ensure his or her safety and a natural response, not unlike the reaction a

child has to a dominant adult figure.

Studies show that Stockholm syndrome almost never occurs in situations where the abuser or captor is completely abusive; the loyalty and compassion builds when some form of kindness is displayed, or at least what appears to the victim as kindness. Kindness in these situations could be merely a lack of abuse. Examples, such as allowing the captured to use the rest room, walk around freely untied, or simply eat. These are things you have a natural right to do, but since the captor has control over your life, the victim will praise them for allowing to do so.

Not unlike my black brothers and sisters in America who praise the white government for giving them “Civil Rights”, or applaud Abraham Lincoln for (so-called) freeing the slaves.

When you look at it, you should naturally have civil rights. You are naturally free. If someone has to give you these things, that all humans beings are supposed to have, naturally, then they must have been previously taken away.

Which brings me to how we got Stockholm Syndrome. In case you don’t already now we have been held in captivity for over 400

Brother David Muhsin years. Thoughout this time, we have received some of the worst treatment the world has ever seen.

Remember, the hostages in Stockholm were only held for 5 days and they had the whole disorder named after them. It is my theory that black people in America suffer from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome. That’s the only explanation for why many Black people will defend white people in the face of our 400 year old abusive relationship with them.

The Woman in Islam Still Black and Proud!

By Sister Muminah Muhammad CHICAGO, Illinois--I

greet you all in the Nations Greetings of Peace, As Salaam Alaikum.

It has become routine for America to pay tribute to African-Americans by observing days that the Government put their stamp of approval on. In January, America observes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birth Anniversary. February is Black History Month, formerly known as Negro history week.

During this month people will be bombarded with the same images they see every year of the Civil Rights Movement, suffering, slavery, and the plight of the Black American struggle.

But as usual, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad will rarely be mentioned, except where the media will mention him in negative documentaries and commentaries about the Nation of Islam.

Brothers and Sisters we need to ask ourselves the question of why the Most Honorable Elijah

Muhammad, who made it possible for us to embrace ourselves as Black, will not be portrayed for his greatness.

Prior to the coming of Our Saviour, Master Fard Muhammad in 1930, the so-called American Negroes were ashamed of their Black ancestry.

They identified themselves with every name but Black. They went by names such as Mulatto, Indian, brown, fair skinned, Saipan, and Olive.

The Black man and woman hated themselves. In fact they joked "if you're White, you're right; if you're yellow, you're mellow; if you're brown, stick around; but if you're Black, GET BACK!" After the Emancipation Proclamation the slaves were being called colored, then Negro.

In the 70's, James Brown was so inspired by the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad that he produced a 1234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901

song that became a number one hit.

This song had people shouting and saying it loud, "I'm Black and Proud!"

The So-Called American Negro had embraced their "Blackness" and not only shouted that they were Black but Proud of it!

They were proud to look like their natural Black selves, thanks to the influence of the Nation of Islam.

The so-called American Negro got rid of the process perms they used in their natural hair to straighten it out to look more like the Caucasian.

They went back to their roots by letting their natural, kinky hair grow in and the hairstyle named the "Afro" became popular.

When the Messenger of Allah departed in February 1975, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson praised Messenger Elijah Muhammad at the Saviour's Day Address stating that, "He was the father of Black Consciousness! During our Colored and Negro days, he was Black"!

I had to be at least three and a half years old when the Messenger departed.

I can remember some remnants of that Black Pride the Messenger had instilled in our people back in the seventies.

I remember when grocery stores were operated and managed by

Sister Muminah Nazira Muhammad Black people. There were Black owned gas stations, and even a Muhammad Ali restaurant. The Black community was uniting!

Black people had started to be concerned for each other and looked out for their fellow brothers and sisters.

Then, slowly but surely our community was diminishing before our eyes. The progress of Black Unity was brought to a naught! By the time the eighties came around, the store operators and managers were people other than ourselves.

The Arabs, Chinese and Koreans became the new faces in the neighborhoods.

The Black men and women I looked up to in the community seemed to disappear. I often wondered "WHAT HAPPENED"?!

By the year 2000, I was 28 years old, still living in the same area.

As an adult, I grew sick and tired of being frustrated with the stagnation in my own life as well as

Black people as a whole.

It wasn’t until I was invited out to the Coalition for the Remembrance of Elijah Muhammad (C.R.O.E.) that I learned about all the GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the Nation of Islam, under the leadership of Messenger Elijah Muhammad.

I was aesthetic!!!

The true believers and the hypocrites, the righteous and the wicked were manifested.

So why, in this New Millennium "2011" don’t we want to be called Black anymore. Why are we once again calling ourselves another nick-name given to us by white America, “African-American”?

It is because when you call yourself Black, it is a constant reminder to them of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who taught us that we should call ourselves Black, and taught us the true history of "how it all began and how it will all end".

WOMAN'S GOOD MORALS UPLIFT MAN'S MORALS

BY MARAGARY HASSAIN Reprinted from the November 12, 1971 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper In the Name of Allah (God) MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD to Whom Praises are due forever.

The Woman in Islam Gives all Holy Praises to Allah (God) for Raising up and Teaching our Beloved Brother. MESSENGER ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, the Wisdom and the Book, for our Great Awakening and Divine Guidance.

MESSENGER MUHAMMAD teaches us that when the Black woman has good, strong morals she forces the man to pull himself

up and have good morals also. She makes of him a good Black man.

WHEN the Black woman has a morally strong man, she has one she can place her love and confidence in. She really has a good companion, a good provider and a good protector. In doing this good thing (strengthening the morals) of her Black Man she is doing a great and far - reaching service to herself, her home and family and to our community. MESSENGER

MUHAMMAD teaches The Woman in Islam of the great power she has with her Black Man and to turn the use of her power for the benefit of herself and her Black Man instead of continuing in the destructive path which the white man has lead the Black People in all of the time we have been in America. ALL PRAISE ARE DUE TO ALLAH (GOD) for His Divine MESSENGER MUHAMMAD and His Divine Message.

The Historic Importance of the 1971 Saviour’s Day

By Brother Ahmad Muhammad CHICAGO-- Many

of the sincere followers of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon Him (forever), the ones that remained faithful in following the successful, hard trodden and straight path His difficult work produced for us, realize that all The Messenger's efforts are historical.

The evil plots to destroy the Messenger's works a few days before His death, and immediately after, will never, nor should it ever be ignored or forgotten.

In February, 1975 the devil, through the devil's imps, gathered for destruction, as much of The Messenger's materials, representing years of dedicated labor as they possible could.

These abominable acts included destruction of The Teachings in any form: notes, The Messenger's books, pamphlets, photographs, LP recordings, Temple records, tapes and films. They stole and /or confiscated current and past historical items all the while The Messenger Of Allah, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him) lay near death in the Mercy Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.

Some bits and pieces of the Saviour's Day 1971 film and tape were salvaged, but not enough to complete a film. The film should have been completed in 1971 but for an earlier scheme. We were frustrated for many reasons in 1971 but at least we had the raw film and synchronous (audio) tape to complete the film if and when funds were made available.

After the raid on The Messenger's works in February. 1975, all the hope we had to complete the 1971 Saviour’s Day film was ended. The Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad's instructions renewed our hope and efforts. It was The Messenger's wish that this film be completed as far back as 40 years ago when He was notified that corrupt officials withheld the funds for the film without His permission or knowledge.

Upon hearing what had been done, The Messenger stated, "This film will be made and completed at the right time, Allah's time." We did not understand His comments as we were asked to f ilm the upcoming Saviour's Day 1972 Convention. That 1972 film is another story.

Frustration set in as we agonized over the filming of Saviour's Day 1972 when 1971 was unfinished.

We discussed our concerns with The Messenger. He was calm and reassured us that all would be well.

How could it be well when there were no finances and now we are about to take on another expensive task?

Seeing our concern regarding financing, He spoke. "You will have the funds you need when the time

comes, Allah will provide." He spoke to this and other situations at great length. If The Messenger says that the Saviour's Day 1971 film will be completed at the correct time, so it will be.

After February, 1975, when the confiscations took place and the Saviour's Day 1971 footage and tapes were stolen and /or damaged, we went over the remnants that were saved. Thousands of feet of film and tape. We pushed on, we persevered, but we still did not have enough original film to complete a project our Dear Holy Apostle had told would be completed.

The Messenger of Allah does not lie! If he says, "Allah will provide," Allah will provide! Damaged film, workprints, exposed raw footage, missing tapes, add to that our mistakes, what do we have? More work to do.

Oh did we agonize over this crime. It did not help us in our quest to honor our Messenger and stay on our post! After the problems with f inances on the Saviour's Day 1972 film, which The Messenger paid for out of His pocket, He asked us to, "Donate the 1971 film when finished and all historical things you have, all items you have saved as I have instructed you. Give these things to that small group that will uphold my name and Teachings. They will follow my path. You will not lose a thing by doing this. My word is bond. I'm good for it. Allah will provide."

Original film, film processing, original quarter inch tapes, processing to 16 mm tapes, editing, sound labor, cameramen, soundmen, grips, transportation, etc. Every expense was paid for by 5R FILM and LEARNING FOR LIVING. The Messenger was so eloquent, "You will not loose a thing ......"

So... after the Messenger's death, the devil moved quickly to do what he had not been able to do when The Messenger was alive, divide The Nation into many diverse quarreling groups.

Much to the devil's delight. This not so surprising revelation bore witness to the "small "group" and the "enough to fill a taxi cab' statements The Messenger had made in the past.

Out of many trials and tribulations, turmoil and strife, looking for scraps here and there, after 40 long years, we pieced it together using black and white workprints along with original film, some faded by age and elements, a rough copy of the Saviour's Day 1971 filmed convention at the Coliseum in Chicago, Illinois on February 26,1971.

Our rejoicing was short lived. The sound track was damaged, poorly recorded and there was the biggest

problem of all, one 15 minute reel of tape that the bandit imps had taken.

Gloom set in again until we thought of The Messenger of Allah and what He told us many years ago, "Allah will provide." We also remembered Brother Captain Edward Ali, the capable brother who was the Supreme Captain preceding Captain Raymond Sharrieff. "Brother, this is The Messenger! If He says something, you better believe it.

By Allah's grace, a brother we helped with his task as recordist in 1971 did not give his original 10 inch reels to anyone, he kept them. Knowing we were seeking items that older believers had hidden or saved, he brought us an old beat up paper bag filled will tapes he had kept for many years. When we got around to listening to these tapes we did not find anything we did not already have.

In desperation to find something we could use, we found a segment of the 1971 Saviour's Day Convention. Problem, ... it was recorded in 3 and 3 quarter speed whereas our 16mm (millimeter) film may synchronous with 7 and one half IPS (inches per second). The sound did not match with picture. The sound was slower than the picture.

More difficult work to do.

Speaking of difficult work, finding the "small group" The Messenger spoke of took years. Each time we thought we had located the "small group," some bizarre claims by a so-called leader would be made or deviation of such an outlandish nature would surface. Our searches took us to many places in the United States of America.

One day Allah provided us a sure sign and away to a Saviour's Day in Detroit, Michigan we went to observe this "small group." We had been the recipient of a Muhammad Speaks newspaper in 1991 by a member of a group of many we had cautiously parceled out historical items, only to find out later that the items were not used as intended. We were impressed by this copy of Muhammad Speaks that as was usual for us. We started a subscription in 1994 after waiting to see if the paper, like many others, would survive. We had been impatient in the past and had looked for the "small group" for so long, that any "small group" that appeared to be the genuine article was given historical artifacts and / or materials.

We were more skeptical than ever in this period as we had been disappointed so many times. Some companions of The Messenger had warned us about moving to fast, so we examined the Detroit Nation Of Islam aka Muhammad Speaks "small 'group" with a fine tooth comb. We saw how strongly they were being criticized by some of the other groups claiming to be the "True Followers" of The Messenger.

The Publisher of the Muhammad

‘After 40 long years, we pieced it together using black and white workprints along with original film’ Speaks Newspaper and later also the Muhammad Speaks Website, Minister Levi Karim and the Editor of The Muhammad Speaks Newspaper and later of The Muhammad Speaks Website, Sister Zakiyah Karim did as The Messenger did. They would boldly print the comments of their detractors, no matter how ignorant or misguided. They then print a reply of obvious insight garnered from The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him). This was unusual, as many so-called heads of over 44 'splinter groups ' were all too anxious to give their opinions instead of The Messenger's.

On February 26, 2000 at 5A.M. we left for the airport to attend Saviour's Day with The Nation Of Islam aka Muhammad Speaks in the city of Detroit, Michigan. We have attended each year since.

There is no strutting. Not a trace of a "BIG I or little you"... Good clear Teaching from The Messenger's handbook. Then, those family type meals of great food and conversation. Everyone gets to speak if they choose. It is a wonderful gathering!

Those of you who love The Messenger and love His Teaching. . . .Those of you who follow in His path. ...Those of you who have benefitted most assuredly from His wisdom found in all of His books, in The Muhammad Speaks Newspaper, old and new. Those of you who listen to His tapes, records and view His films over and over, you will rejoice as you peek into the past and watch The Messenger at work. Just to see Him is a blessing.

We had planned to give the 1971 Saviour's Day f ilm to Brother Minister Levi and Sister Zakiyah Karim on Saviour's Day, 2010, but we were not satisfied with the total synchronization results and had to go back and re-edit for another 8 months.

All Praise is due to Allah, Who came in The Person of Master Fard Muhammad and raised from among us, our Leader, Teacher and Guide, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the peace and blessing be upon Him forever)!

It took us a long time to bring this historic film to you so go back 40 years with us, 40 years ago, when a great man, a bold man, a man without fear, stood up to the devil and the devils imps on our behalf.

A man raised by Allah (God) to

inform the devil and the devil's imps that their end had come and To save the Black Brother, Sister and child.

Only those Black People who have the sense to listen and obey The Messenger will be saved, as you plainly see today.

A great man was among us and He gave His life to save even ONE of us. Gave up His life trying to save a mentally dead and savage people (savage to their own kind and selves). Gave up His life trying to rescue them from their slave master’s children and a horrendous life-style. Think about these things as you watch the long awaited film, SAVIOUR'S DAY 1971

Messenger Muhammad’s Warning Continued from page 22 anyone whom they think is of their kind, will not stay in the circle here with me.

I will not permit it. God has not sent me to mix any such thing as intermarrying or associating in such a way as "sweethearting: with foreign people.

A closer knowledge of this will be given to anyone of you who would like to come and ask me personally, but you are not to do these things.

God is only after you to make you an example for the world to be guided by. You are being given the tops of the Divine Wisdom and He wants to make you the greatest of all people of the earth.

Study Jesus' parables of the "Prodigal Son"," The Lost Sheep" and "The Lost Tenth Piece of Silver" and other parables of the Old Testament and you will find many parables there made of you and me here in America, as being found and returned and put on top.

The Messenger of Allah Presents

The Muslim Program What the Muslims Want This is the question asked most frequently by both the whited and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.

1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom.

2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law.

We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed, or class, or color.

3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.

4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own...either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obliged to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich.

We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years...until we are able to produce our own needs.

Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood, and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America, justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.

5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North, as well as the South.

We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own.

We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so-called Negro throughout the United States.

We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land - or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty.

7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own, we demand not only

equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment opportunities - NOW. We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity, or live in poor homes.

8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from All Taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land.

9. We want equal education -but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children, educated, taught and trained by their own teachers.

Under such schooling systems we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools, and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.

10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of Islam taught without hindrance or suppression.

These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

What the Muslims Believe 1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah.

2. WE BELIEVE in the Holy Qur'an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it.

4. WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead -- but not in the physical resurrection -- but in mental resurrection. We believe that the so-called Negro's are most in need of mental resurrection therefore they will be resurrected first.

Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written. That God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the socalled Negro's in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous.

6. WE BELIEVE in the judgement; We believe this first judgement will take place in America.

7. WE BELIEVE this is the time in history for the separation of the so-called Negro's and so-called white Americans. We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that he should be freed

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad THE LAST MESSENGER OF ALLAH from the names imposed upon him by his former slave masters. Names which identified him as being the slave master's slave. We believe that if we are free indeed, we should go in our own people's names - the black people of the earth.

8. WE BELIEVE in justice for all, whether in God or not; We believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human beings. We believe in equality -- as a nation - of equals. We do not believe that we are equal with our slave master in the status of "freed slaves".

We recognize and respect American citizens as independent people and we respect their laws which govern this nation.

9. WE BELIEVE that the offer of Integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black people into believing that their 400 year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends". Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation.

If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves.

We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as well.

10. WE BELIEVE that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for.

11. WE BELIEVE our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.

We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
