We have known all our lives that the devil was a great deceiver, an enemy of God, and that he wished to be the victor, with his knowledge of superior arts in deceiving the people of God. He desires to cast them down, disgrace them and make them accept h*s deceit before the very face of God in the general resurrection of the dead. The so-called A m e r i can Negroes — as I h a v e repeatedly taught in m y a r t i c l e s , s e r m o n s a n d lect u r e s to m y p e o p l e — a r e the spiritually d e a d .

Today, the so - called American Negroes must be resurrected and made to know and understand the fate of anyone who will follow or be deceived by the arch - deceivers. The strongest and most powerful weapon the arch - deceivers have at their disposal is to deceive the world of righteousness (the Nation of Islam). They do not stop at the common, ignorant Muslims, but reach also for the scholars and scientists of Islam, who should be aware of their trickery and deceit.

The arch - deceivers forces war against themselves. Their ultimate aim is to do as their people always have done— try to destroy the preacher of truth and those who believe and follow him. This was the aim of Cain when he slew his brother, Abel, and the aim of the

W O M E N (The jails of America—county, city, state, f e d e r a l are jammed almost beyond capacity with youthful blackvictims of a hostile white-supremacy society, a society which gave them no attention whatsoever—until they were apprehended for crime. If jails were barometers of the racial ratio, America would have to be a nation of mostly Negroes. In some cities, 90 per cent of the jail population is black, although Negroes constitute less than 11 per cent of the population. (Jails that punish without preparing its charges to cope with the environment that placed them, is the common lot not simply of male youths—but a growing number of women, whose ratios so far outnumber their white inmates that nothing less than some forms of amnesty and planned social rehabilitation could even begin to rectify the injustice. (In the following articles entitled Women in Jail, M U H A M M A D S P E A K S exposes the predicament of this unprotected, unnoticed segment of society in the hope that their cries for justice and attention will not go forever unheeded.)

GLEEFUL FUNERAL DIRGE, replete wth half-truths and actual distortions, such as the above, typifies the steady attack of the Old Masters press against new African and Asian nations, some of whom prefer to pursue independent policies. The above propaganda neglects to point out that the oldest white Western nations would have collapsed without billions of dollars in loans and credits thrown their way by the United States.

I s l a m is the constitution and l a w of A l l a h (God) that s e r v e s as a guide for the seeker who looks for the right path to A l l a h ( G o d ) . I s l a m is referred to as a religion w h i c h , in E n g l i s h , m e a n s a duty that is binding upon us at a c e r t a i n time. The c e r t a i n time that I refer to is the time when there is no opposition to the seeker who seeks after right guidance; the c e r t a i n time after the time and rule of satan, the devil, who is the god of e v i l , and who has reigned over the people under a rule of misguidance or directing the seeker of A l l a h (God) from the path that would lead h i m into the light and knowledge of A l l a h ( G o d ) . T h i s god of the e v i l world s e r v e s as a deceiver and willfully and knowingly directs the seeker of the right path into t r a v e l i n g a path just the opposite to the one he was seeking. T h i s deceitful god, the a d v e r s a r y of the true God, having the power and authority for the past 6,000 y e a r s to divert the attention and m i n d of the people from the right direction, has caused people to believe they are following the right direction while they are on the wrong path. On the coming of the God oT righteousness, Who demands total righteousness and points out this path for us which is just the opposite to what has been promoted by the w i c k e d god of this world. T h e constitutional l a w s of the God of right and truth come after the God of darkness and falsehood, to w h i c h we have been subjected. We must now have a guide but of darkness and adversity i n order to find our w a y to light and truth. I s l a m is that guide. I t teaches and demands us to submit to the on-coming ruler of the heavens and the earth, the right ruler, the perfect ruler, who w i l l give us right guidance. We w i l l prosper if we w a l k .in H i s path of righteousness, whose fruit is freedom, justice and equality. I s l a m justifies us (the seekers of the right path) as the true members of the family of the Originator of heaven and earth by the nature of the Originator. I s l a m is not a new guide or religion, but it is as old as A l l a h (God) H i m self. I t is the nature of everything He has created to submit to H i m , Who created the heavens and the earth. I t is a distinguisher which separates the original God from the false god and the false god's false guidance or religion for the past 6,000 y e a r s . A s H e s a y s to us in the Holy Qur-an (Chapter 5:3), " I have completed m y favor upon you and chosen for you I s l a m as a r e l i g i o n . " Not that it is a religion, but since false teachings have been classified as a religion, this word (religion) is put there to s a y to us: " T h i s is a duty to Me that you must surrender to M e . " But, by nature of God, in Whom we are created, I s l a m cannot be what we c a l l or classify as a religion. I s l a m cannot be classified as being a religion since I s l a m is the v e r y nature of God. I f it is the nature of God, it is not something that has been organized. Chapter 30, verse 30 of the Holy Qur-an teaches us that it is the nature in which we (the righteous) w e r e created. Not that I s l a m is the religion of the devil. I t cannot be his religion, for he is the a d v e r s a r y of that religion. I f the devil w a s by nature as the righteous w e r e created by nature, to submit to righteousness, we could not intelligently refer to h i m as an a d v e r s a r y or as an opponent of God and H i s representatives (prophets). Throughout the Bible and throughout the Holy Qur-an, the devil is referred to as an opposer to righteousness or an enemy to God and the righteous — and, history has proved this to be true. Therefore, we cannot s a y that the devil w a s equally created to submit to A l l a h ' s l a w s of righteousness as we c a l l it, I s l a m . Wherein m a n y scholars and scientists, both of I s l a m and C h r i s t i a n i t y , c l a i m that God made h i m to submit to righteousness. When he w a s ordered to submit, he refused in Genesis, Chapter 1; Holy Qur-an, Chapter 2; and Chapter 7. Therefore, I s l a m does not refer to the religion of a l l m e n . I t refers only to the righteous, those who a r e created in the nature of righteousness. Though the Holy Qur-an s a y s that " w e have not created the G e n i i and the Men but that they should serve m e . " I n this case, an opponent of the God of righteousness is absolutely non-existent. T h i s I cannot agree with, for the s a m e book teaches us there is an enemy who w i l l not submit to righteousness, and a day of doom is set; that this enemy of righteousness w a s not created by the God of righteousness. Therefore, he is c o n t r a r y to the v e r y l a w s ( I s l a m ) of the God of righteousness. And, to prove that I s l a m w a s not for the god of evil, it comes after the reign of evil to point out forever the right path to the God, Who guides aright after the people have been misguided by the god of e v i l . Y o u must now turn again to that which, by nature, you a r e (righteousness). Continued next week, " W h a t I s I s l a m ? " Also " A C h a l l e n g e " to the disbelievers who want to classify the teaching of Messenger M u h a m m a d as creating violence.

THE BROTHERS of Muhammad's Mosque No. 7-B, Corona, Long Island, N.Y., were honored at a gay and inspirational "Gratitude Dinner" in recognition of their outstanding efforts in the distributon and sales of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS newspaper. The top salesman at the affair was Brother Leonard 4X (inset), who maintains a sales record of a minimum of 1,000 copies of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS each week. Among the program participants and guests were Minister Louis X (left) of Muhammad's Mosque No. 11, Boston, Mass.; Brother Captain Joseph X (center) of Muhammad's Mosque No. 7 in Harlem and Brother Secretary Maceo X, also of the Harlem mosque. The New York mosques, like all Muhammad's Mosques of Islam, are continuing a stepped-up drive to increase the circulation of one of America's leading weekly newspapers. The goal: put the Muslim n e w s p a p e r at the undisputed top spot among the nation's weeklies.

Africa's Crucial Fight To * Matters Off Hunger

Little\

The "terrible legacy of death, illiteracy and starvation," left behind by colonialists forced to release their iron grip on the jugular vein of many African countries has been documented by the predicament most of Africa finds itself despite independence. In two previous articles in this series on the food problem of Africa—a "huge agrarian continent" that is forced to import foodstuffs—it was noted that the Congo spends 78 per cent of its "export earnings on the import of foodstuffs; Somalia, 33 per cent; Ivory Coast, 15 per cent. I n Ghana, such import constitutes 20 per cent of the total imports by cost." The article last week made the point that "the import of food . . . does not solve the food problem for the majority of the population . . . and because of the "high transport costs, the import of foodstuffs to the countries far from the coast becomes unprofitable." The series continues: I t is not accidental that the j ations on a s i m i l a r agreem a j o r i t y of A f r i c a n coun- ment for cocoa-beans have tries in opposition to the neo- ! also been c a r r i e d out. colonialist p r o g r a m put forMechanization w a r d their own plan of the With a view to decrease all-round transformation of agriculture and.the solution j the cost of production of exof the food problem on this ' portable commodities and basis.

The Second Starvation: For Education

IN SOMALIA, these youngsters learn to read and write on the bank of the Juba river. Oddly enough, Somalia is suffering from food shortages as well as from lack of buildings for schools and educational institutions—both causes traceable

U . S . Since our policies are creating new enemies, they defeat our purpose. T o reestablish relations would help create better relations all around. Henry Brown, attorney, majoring in business administration: I feel that, at least economically, we should open our lines to Cuba. Our allies are trading w i t h her. We must l e a r n to accept the fact that the island of Cuba is there and has the kind of government the people apparently want. We c e r t a i n l y can't shut our eyes to a situation i n our own backy a r d , so to speak. Our efforts toward supporting foes of Castro seem to have failed and the C . I .

WASHINGTON—The tobacco industry had its moneygrabbing hands whacked by the United States surgeon general, Dr. Luther L .

fect of smoke on the bronchial tree "and other evidence that tumors have been produced" by smoking. He declared that not a single medical or health organization has gone on record as questioning the conclusions of the committee report. However, he had to admit the American Medical Association's support of the report was somewhat less than enthusiastic. But the AMA is noted for its hysterical opposition to proposed legislation a n d changes which might benefit the poor and the deprived of this nation, including such non-medical measures as social security when proposed by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. Congress is considering bills to require health warning labels on cigarette packages and advertising, but the opposition wants the warnings to be printed in such small type that they will defeat their purpose.

Dr. Terry said that a survey made last year by Modern Medicine Magazine found that of 60,000 physicians queried, 94.8 per cent thought cigarette smoking was a health hazard. He added that the tobacco industry, however, "ignores all physical evidence of the potential harm of smoking."

CIVIL RIGHTS is a serious matter to veteran news photographer Henry Martin, who took a determined vow sometime ago not to shave until America grants equal citizenship rights to him and 20-odd million other black U.S. citizens. At first, his vow was taken lightly, but as the days pass more and more friends realize he may remain unshaved for many a day to come.
