Reprinted from the Message To The Blackman.
" Allah
came to us from the Holy City Mecca, Arabia, in 1930. He used the name Wallace D. Fard, often signing it W.D. Fard. In the
third year (1933 ), He signed his name W.F. Muhammad which stands for Wallace Fard Muhammad. He
came alone. He began teaching us the knowledge of ourselves, of God and the devil, of the measurement of the earth,
of other planets, and of the civilization of some of the planets other than earth.
He measured and
weighed the earth and its water, the history of the moon; the history of the two nations, black and white, that dominate the
earth. He gave the exact birth of the white race; the name of their God who made them and how; and the end of their
time, the judgment, how it will begin and end.
He taught us the truth of how we were made "slaves"
and how we are kept in slavery by the "slave-masters" children. He declared the doom of America, for her evils
to us was past due. And that she is number one to be destroyed. Her judgment could not take place until we hear the truth.
He declared that we were without the knowledge of self or anyone else. How we had been made
blind, deaf and dumb by this white race of people and how we must return to our people, our God and His religion of peace
(Islam), the religion of the prophets. We must give up the slave names of our slave-masters and accept the name of Allah
(God) or one of His divine attributes. He also taught us to give up all evil doings and practices and do righteousness
or be destroyed from the face of the earth.
He taught us that the slave-masters had taught us
to eat the wrong food and that this wrong food is the cause of our sickness and short span of life. He declared that
he would heal us and set us in heaven at once, if we would submit to Him. Other wise he would chastise us with a severe
chastisement until we submission to His Will. He said that he loved us (the so-called Negroes), His lost and found,
so well that He would eat rattle-snakes to free us if necessary, for He has power over all things.
I asked him, " Who are you, and what is your real name?"
He said, " I am the one
that the world has been expecting for the past 2,000 years. " I said to Him again, " What is your name?" He
said, " My name is Mahdi; I am God, I came to guide you into the right path that you may be successful and see the hereafter,"
He described the destruction of the world with bombs, poison gas, and finally with fire that would consume and destroy everything
of the present world.
Nothing of the present world of white mankind
would be left. Those escaping the destruction would not be allowed to carry anything out with them.
He pointed out a destructive dreadful-looking plane that is made like a wheel in the sky today. It is a half-mile by
a half-mile square; it is a humanly built planet. It is up there and can be seen twice a week; it is no secret.
Ezekiel saw it a long time ago. It was built for the purpose of destroying the present world. He also hinted at plaguing
the world with rain, snow, hail and earthquakes.
He spoke with authority, not as one who
is under authority but as one independent. He said the world's time was out in 1914, but people could get an extension
of time, depending upon their treatment of the righteous. He declared that there can be no judgment until we (the
so-called Negroes ) hear Islam, whether we accept it or not.
This includes the history of the
world and a knowledge of God and the devil. He condemned the teaching of God not being a man as a lie from the
devils for the past 6,000 years for the purpose of making slaves of black mankind.
I also
bear witness that it certainly has enslaved my people here in America, 100 percent. He chose me (Elijah Muhammad), to
bear the message of life (Islam) to my people here. Islam is our salvation. It removes fear, grief, and sorrow from
any believer, and it brings to us peace of mind and contentment.
The greatest
hindrance to the truth of our people is the preacher of Christianity. He will not accept it (Islam), nor is he content
to let others alone who are trying to accept the truth. He is the man who stands in the way of the salvation of
his people, and as soon as the people awaken to the knowledge of this man in their way to God, freedom, justice and equality
and stop following him, the sooner they will be in heaven while they live."

What does the Quran say about Allah?
Does the Quran teach that God is a man?
The very first thing that we should take note of is that the Quran and the Bible from the front to the back
speaks of God, in the pronoun He. If we take a simple English lesson, we know that he is a pronoun, a pronoun is a word used
to indicate without naming such as you, it, they, we, your, this, or whose; a word used instead of a noun. A noun is a word
that represents a person, place, thing or idea. The word idea has been added to the definition only recently, nevertheless
an idea has to come from a person. Then we must reason with ourself as to the fact of why would the scholars and prophet speak
of God as He? If God Is not a man, then why did the prophets some of which did see God , address God as He. If take for
example God were a spook, they would have to have said it, because a spook, spirit or formless thing would have no gender.
In what category would we have to place God according to the meaning of pronoun and noun ? Would He be a Person, place or
thing? This is the first thing we should look at as reasoning beings. Of course we would have to place God in the category
of a Person.
What does he Quran teach us about God?
Sura 28v88 states, "And call not,
besides God ,
On another god. There is No god but He.
Everything (That exists) will perish,
Except His own Face
(Question: Could a spook or spirit have a face?)
To Him belongs the Command
And
to Him will ye
(All) be brought back.
Question: Why is the Quran telling us that
all things will perish except the Real Face of God? The Quran is letting us know that all things that man had taken for god
will perish before the True and living God. This is the reason why the capital and small g's are used in God, and god
to show that one God is the real or proper God, making a distinction between God and the false things that man has taken for
gods. A proper noun is always capitalized, and a common noun is usually left in lower case. A Proper noun names
a particular person, place or thing, a common noun does not name a particular person place of thing.
The Scholar states in the foot note 4321: AYA Holy Quran, Please make sure that you refer to an older Quran because
the total foot note or part of it has been removed from the newer Quran's.
The first thing which the
Scholar makes clear is that this verse sums up the whole lesson to the Sura, in the following words:
1. This sums
up the lesson of the whole Sura.
The Question that should be asked at this point is; What is the lesson that was taught
in this Sura?
2. Next the Scholar states: The Only Reality is God.
What does the word reality mean:
According to the dictionary the word means: Actual existence 2. someone or something real or actual, The characteristic of
being true to life or to fact.
The root of the word which is the word real , means not artificial, deceptive, seeming
or false, not imaginary. This is to teach us that the real God is not something that man has made up. The Real God does not
come from the imagination of men, but is a Being. Not a spook or stick sand stones carved by the hand of man. The Proper God
is a Actual Being, real to life. Reality means real not false or imagined or made up. The Supreme Being is Real. The True
and the Living God for this Time is Master Fard Muhammad.
3. The Scholar teaches us that we should seek God in
these words: His "Face" or Self, Personality or Being is what we should seek..... Can we see a formless thing,
a spook? Can we see a spirit of Good? Can a statue be made from that which can not be seen or that which has never been seen?
A statue is a object made in the likeness of something or someone.
The Scholar goes on further
to let us know that he is telling us that God is Real when he states His "Face" or Self. What does he mean by "Face
or Self"?
First let us make another point clear, when the scholar tells us to seek. The word seek means to
look for, search for, to try to discover, to resort to, to make a search or inquiry, to acquire or gain knowledge of, or find
out.
It would appear from the definition of the word seek, the scholar was telling us to look, study and learn
the lesson on the Reality of God. To look for His Face. To learn of His Self.
The word Self means: Having
a single character or quality throughout, a person regarded as an individual apart from everyone else. Therefore this would
lead us to believe that the scholar wants us to understand the true nature or character of God, apart from what we believe
about God or have been taught about God. God has a real Self or Person.
In the foot note the word that is also
used is Personality. The scholar tells us to seek Gods' Personality. The word personality means: The state of being a
person, the emotional and behavioral characteristics of a person. The word Personality let us know that the scholar understands
that God is a Person, and when he uses the Pronoun He, Him, His all of these Pronouns refer to the Male gender, letting us
know further that God is a Man. Not a mere man, but the Supreme Being.
4. The note continues with the words: or
Being is what we should seek, knowing that it is the only enduring thing of which we can have any conception.
We are
now told to seek the Being again the word being means: Life, Existence, the totality of existing things, a living
thing, Esp: a Person. We can not just make God out of a thing, this would take away from His Superior Nature, this would make
Him less than we are, less than a Thinking, Reasoning Being. A thing is anything that you make it, an article or object or
entity not precisely designated or capable of being designated. How could we say that a thing is God if we cannot understand
it in some way. When we do not understand an object, article, or entity etc., we might call it a thing until we can get some
understanding of what it is. We would not use the pronoun he, we would more than likely call the thing it. Neither this
nor that. The Scholar tells us that to understand God is the only Reality, His Self, Personality, Being. If we will
not or cannot search to understand God the Scholar tell us: "Knowing that it is the only enduring thing of which we can
have any conception." God remains the Same when all other things change and pass away. The Goodness, the Personality,
the Self, is the only constant that we have in Life. We are told that the understanding of God is the only way we can understand
our True Self. The word used by the scholar is conception: meaning thought, notion, idea, act of forming an idea or
thought, the originating of something in the mind.
5. The whole phenomenal world is subject to flux and change
and will pass away, but HE will edure forever. The Personality of God, can never be destroyed. The Nature of Good can never
be destroyed. Everything is made from the Love of God, and this energy can never be destroyed it only transforms. Therefore
when the forces of evil think that they can destroy all the Good, the God of Rigthness has created, they themselves are destroyed.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us; " This is the day and time that you should know God. There are
two on the scene at the present time: An evil God and a good God. When we say "Allah" that Name means God and covers
all Muslims. All Muslims are Allah's, but we call the Supreme Allah the Supreme Being. And He has a Name of His
Own. This Name is "Fard Muhammad." ( This name describes the Personality of the One Self, or Supreme Being, Allah
). His name tells us, what Allah is being seeked. "Fard is the Name meaning an independent One and One who is not on
the level with the average Gods (Allah's). It is a Name independent to itself which actually means One whom we must obey,
or else He destroys us. This honorable, Majestic, Person comes in the last day. The reason why we call Him the Supreme Being
is because He is Supreme over all beings and or is wiser than all. The Holy Quran teaches: He is wiser than them , meaning
all the Gods before and all who are now present. Remember, Allah means Gods. Many Muslims go in this name. All Muslims go
in the Divine Supreme Being of Names from Him. The meaning of these names are of Himself. The Bible teaches you and me that
He would give us His Own Names, and this, we are receiving."
Under the same foot note the Quran teaches
us in the words: "If we think of an impersonal God , an abstract force of good, we cannot reconcile it with the vital
Self or Being, of which we have a faint echo or reflection in our intensest moments of spiritual exaltation." The Quran
teaches us by the Wisdom of the Scholars, if we think of an impersonal God an abstract force of good,... The word impersonal
means not connected with a person or being, or referring to all or any person, not to any special one. This is why the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad told us about the meaning of the word Allah, and why the Supreme Being, has a Name that makes a distinction
between all of the other Muslims that go in the Name of Allah. Therefore we cannot think of God as not being a person or an
abstract thing or what ever we make Him to be He is Real. The word abstract means: apart from any object (the spook or the
spirit gods), apart from being real and very hard to understand, difficult. Also it means to take away from: Iron is abstracted
from ore. Steel is iron mixed with carbon so that it is very hard, strong and tough. The God, Yakub got the idea of making
an evil God, from playing with two pieces of steel. Ore is the mineral or rock found in the earth. Yakub made his man from
the original substance, or from the original Creation. There are two Gods on the scene today One made from the Original and
the other God(Created Himself) is the Original Man. We cannot make something Real by using abstract measures. The
God, (the devil) Yakub made was made in a scientific grafting process, which means the use of one life to bring
forth another. In order to create something Real we must use the Whole of the Original. Or we must use a
process of purifying, then add the Original. So as not to have any of the contaminated material. As in the case of soil, when
it must be purified, in order to produce a good crop.
The Quran goes on further to teach us
that if we make God abstract we could not understand our own Vital Self. Vital means: of, relating to or characteristics of
life: showing the qualities of living things, concerned with or necessary to the maintenance of life, of first importance
or essential. If we do not or cannot understand the principal or law which God has made for us to follow, then we will
do the things that bring us death. The wages of sin is death, because it goes against the Mind of God, or the laws He set that
are Vital to Life. We must understand God in the sense that we study His Personality and learn how to become as
close as we can to God. Not just in Name, but in action and thought.
The note states that if we look at God as
something so impersonal or abstract. How can we reconcile it with our own Real Nature of Self which is the only Reality? The
whole world is under an illusion, they do not understand the Only Reality, the Goodness and the Law which brings Peace and
Love.
The word reconcile means: to make friendly again, reconcile friends who have quarreled, to settle, adjust, to make
agree,
to show fact to solve a problem, to cause to submit or accept.
The Scholar tells us that the confusion
in the world with the human population is that they do not know God. They do not know themselves and their relationship to
God. They have not taken time to study to seek the Truth about God, Who or What He Really Is. Because without an understanding
of God, we cannot understand our Self. The scholar tells us that if we make God other than what is Real we are lost. "
We know then that what we call our own Self has no meaning, for there is only one true Self, and that is God." Study
Note 3421 AyA.
There are some Muslims who do not believe that God is a Man. They teach that the followers
of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his followers practice shirk. According to the Holy Quran: Sura 112 The Unity or
The Purity of Faith, teaches us that: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
1. Say: He Allah is One
2.
Allah is He on Whom all depend
3. He begets not, nor is He begotten:
4. And none is like Him
*Again the pronoun
He, Him and One is used to refer to God, Allah.
Note 4a MMA Quran
This, is a very early Makkan revelation, points
out the fundamental errors of many religions, including Christianity, in its four short sentences. The first verse proclaims
the absolute Unity of the Divine Being, and deals a death-blow to all forms of polytheism, including the doctrine of the Trinity.
In the second verse Allah is said to be Samad, which the Holy Prophet is reported to have explained
as meaning the Lord to Whom recourse is had in every need, so that all have need of Him and He has need of none. This
statement negatives the doctrine according to which soul and matter are co-eternal with God and God stands in need of them
to bring about creation. The doctrine prevails in India, and could not have been known to the Holy Prophets.
The third verse points out the error of those religions which describe God as being father or son, such as the Christian religion.
The fourth verse negatives such doctrines as the doctrine of incarnation, according to which a mere man is likened to God.
The four kinds of shirk are rejected here, a belief
in the plurality of gods ( v 1), a belief that other things possess the perfect attributes of the Divine Being(v. 2,), A belief
that God is either a father or a son (V.3), and a belief that others can do that which is ascribable only to God.
THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD NEVER TAUGHT ANY OF THE ABOVE DOCTRINES.
He taught us of One God. He taught us
that the One God was and Is Supreme and not a mere man turned into God. He taught us against the Trinity. We were never taught
Anthropomorphism were things other than human are made to be human. Anthropomorphism means: Attribution of human feelings
to things not human. Attribution of human characteristic to inanimate objects,animals, or natural phenomena. A close study
of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad will show that He taught the Truth of the Bible and the Holy Quran.
Sura 112 v.3 He begets not, nor is He begotten: This verse speak of the First God that Created Himself out of Triple Darkness
without the Help of Anyone. Beget means to bring into existence, with the aid of a mother and father. There was only the One
in the Beginning.
