Reprinted from Muhammad Speaks 1963
" The following prayer is for the Messenger of Allah"
" O Allah make Muhammad
successful and the true followers of Muhammad successful as Thou did make Abraham successful and the true followers of Abraham
successful. For surely Thou art praised and magnified in our midst. O Allah bless Muhammad and the true followers of
Muhammad as Thou did bless Abraham and the true followers of Abraham, Surely Thou art praised and magnified in our midst"
In the above prayer, the Believers of the Lost and Found members of a great nation pray for the Messenger who Allah
(God) has raised among them; a guide to the lost and now found path of Allah. For 400 years they had been wandering in darkness,
blinded by the touch of Satan the devil.
But now the light of Allah has shown upon them
and they have turned themselves now to Him. And have submitted to Allah to do His will, being blessed as the Jews and the
Arabs were to have a Messenger born in their midst so teach and guide his people into the spirit and knowledge of His Teacher, Almighty God, Allah , in Person.
The
Believers are not satisfied with prayers and seeking refuge in Allah without asking a word of prayer for the success and blessings
of Allah upon the Messenger and the followers whom Allah has so abundantly bestowed upon them "the answer to Abraham's
prayer" that he raise a Messenger from among them that he may teach the wisdom of the Book (Bible), to so many of them
who do not understand the very book (Bible) in which they think they believe but without the true knowledge or understanding
of the scriptures of Moses and Jesus.
THEREFORE,
a correction must come to them in the way of true understanding of these scriptures in which their history is constantly referred
to in the mentioning of the Jews and Christians through the Prophets that were sent to them.
The Orthodox Muslims think this refers to Arabia and that Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) of nearly
1400 years ago was the one fulfilling the answer to Abraham's prayers. But if they look at it again and ponder over it,
it is like their belief in thinking that Muhammad of nearly 1400 years ago was a prophet like Moses, that Moses prophesied
of in Deut. 18:18. But they forget that Moses was a man who was raised in the house of bondage under a king who held him and
his people in bondage to him and to his false worship of God and religion. And he desired no one to interfere with his
teachings given to his slaves. This was his fear, according to the Holy Quran, that Moses would change the religion.
THE ORTHODOX Muslims think this was fulfilled in Meccans' opposition against Muhammad.
Not so! He does not compare with the prophecy of a man like Moses, for there was no king singled out who opposed Muhammad
in Mecca. There was no separation of the Arabs from any slave masters and a destruction of the slave masters.
It was a certain class of people of science."
When was Muhammad and the Arabs enslaved in Mecca?

QUOTATIONS: FROM THE MESSENGER
" All
of this grief you and I must suffer; all of these burdens we must bear. It is beyond comprehension that he American government,
Mistress of the seas, Lord of the Air, conqueror of Outer Space, Squire of the Land and Prowler of the Deep Bottoms from the
Oceans , is unable to defend us from assault and murder on the streets of these concrete jungles....."
" The lynchers live right next door, down the street, up the alley, yet they are not brought to justice. What sane man
can deny that it is now time that you and I take counsel among ourselves to the end of finding justice for ourselves?"
" When you stand up and speak a word in behalf of your own people, you are classified
as a communist , as a race-hater.........everything but good........" ( In the day and time we are
living in today terrorist is the label given to anyone who wants justice and peace)
"If
God has revealed to me the truth of this race of people and yourself and I tell you of it, and that truth is the truth, then
don't just say I teach the truth." ( tell what Messenger Elijah Muhammad is teaching the truth about)

MUSLIM PRAYER SERVICE
By The Honorable
Elijah Muhammad
IN A RECENT issue we saw the Lost-found members of the Nation of Islam
reciting the Oft repeated prayer of Islam: " In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, All praise is due Allah the Lord
of the Worlds, The Most Merciful Master of the Day of Requital. Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. O
Allah guide us on the right path; the path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors, and not of those upon whom Thy wrath
is brought down nor of those who go astray." Amen
This prayer is found in the first
Sura (Chapter ) of the Holy Quran , and is the opening of every Sura of the Holy Book except the ninth chapter (the chapter
of The Hypocrites). He seeks the right guidance: he does not want to walk in the path of the Jews and Christians.
He saw the Jews go astray from the right faith and caused the wrath of Allah to descend upon
them, and the Jews suffer many afflictions and finally the loss of world independence. And they fell into the hands of their
enemies wherever they sojourn.
AND NOW, take notice of those who call themselves
Christians going astray form the right path (Islam) . Notice them going to the extreme by worshipping Jesus; first by
falsely accusing Jesus of being the Son of Allah (God), born without the agency of man; thus accusing God of an act of adultery.
They preach the rightful laws of God, but practice the laws of Satan and now has become the world's
greatest trouble makers (war makers), and have caused the nations to deviate from the path of Allah (God). And now they are
heading the entire world into total destruction. (World War III )
He wants to be guided on the path of the Prophets of Allah where he can receive the favors of Allah, He has not as yet entered
the congregational prayer service in the beautiful Mosques of the Holy Land of Islam to hear the caller of the faithful (early
in the morning and five times a day from the minarets of the Mosques.
The caller with his hands
raised to his ears goes from one door or window to the other (there are four in all), he opens it to the east, west, north
and south saying: Allah-u-Akbar" four times ( which means: Allah is the Greatest regardless to what direction you may
look). The beautiful words one may note from the caller at nearly the end of the call are these: " Come to prayer, turning
the face to the right (repeated twice), Come to Success (repeated twice). And turning the face to the left: Prayer is better
than sleep (repeated twice)."
THE TOUCH OF Islam makes the Lost found to have a sense
of dignity and for the first time, he feels that he should do something for self, And he desires to rid himself of the
things that hinder him. He, therefore, now prays the following prayer:
" O
Allah! I seek Thy refuge from anxiety and grief and I seek Thy refuge from lack of strength and laziness, and I seek Thy refuge
from cowardice, and niggardliness, and I seek Thy refuge from being overpowered by debt and the oppression of men; O
Allah! suffice Thou me with what is lawful to keep me away from what is prohibited, and with Thy grace make me free from want
of what is besides Thee."
WE THE LOST FOUNDS should repeat the above prayer seven
(7) times a day. For it sums up our greatest hindrance to freedom and self-independence. We must get away from the idea
of depending on others to do for us what we can do for self. Fear, cowardice, and laziness are our greatest enemies.
We are brave enough to fight to preserve the white race's independence, but not brave for self and kind. Shake such
shackles off and face the consequences like men and we will all be free
FROM: The Messenger
" You have not realized how precious you are in the sight of God today. You don't
realize that you are the real problem of the civilized world. You don't realize that without the solving of the
so-called Negro problem today there will be nothing done. It is your problem that troubles America.
You have been a more sincere believer in Christianity than the authors and teachers of it......(This
makes you a willing slave and a lazy dependent person)
The
old story of Jesus dying on the cross and going up to heaven is one of the worst falsehoods you could believe in.....
Hell is a condition. . . . you are in hell when you don't get justice. . . . you are in hell when you haven't got
the necessities of life. . . . Hell is not a place, it is the condition of life. . . . so it is with heaven. . . .

MUSLIM PRAYER SERVICE
(From
The Preface of The Holy Quran: Muhammad Ali)
" The saying of prayer is obligatory
upon all, every Muslim: male or female, who have attained to the age of description. (Prayer) It is said five times
a day as follows:
1. Salat-uz-Fard or early morning prayer is said after dawn and before sunrise.
2. Salat-uz-Zuhr or the early afternoon prayer, is said when the sun is about to decline, and its time extends till
the next prayer.
3. Salat-ul-asr or the late afternoon prayer is said when the sun is about midway on its course
to setting, and its time extends to a little before it actually sets.
4. Salat-ul-Mashrab or the sunset prayer,
is said immediately after the sun sets.
5. Salat-ul-Isha or the early night prayer is said when the red glow in
the west disappears, and its time extends to midnight. But it must be said before going to bed.
Note 1--
When a person is sick, or on a journey ( or in case of rain, when the prayer is said in congregation in a Mosque) the early
afternoon and the late afternoon prayers may be said in conjunction, the sunnats may be dropped.
Note 2 -- Besides
these five obligatory, there are two optional ones. The first of these is the Salal-ul-Hail, the Taljjid or the late
night prayer, which is said after midnight, after being refreshed with sleep, and before dawn. This prayer is specially
recommended in the Holy Quran. The other is known as the Salat-ud-duha and it may be said at about breakfast time. This
is the time at which the two 'Id prayers are said.
Note 3 -- The service on Friday takes the place of the early
afternoon prayer (From the preface of the Holy Quran, by Muhammad Ali).
Prayer is Universal:
It is a showing of ones submission and recognition to a Superior. When it comes to a God, the act or saying of prayer to a
God other than himself is to show not only submission and recognition, confession, supplication, thankgiving, the seeking
of help, guidance, and forgiveness of wrongs, the secrets of our hearts are poured out in prayer to his or her God.
The Muslims must say their prayer. Whatever mercy and blessings that we receive from Allah. The only thing that He
asks you and I in return is sincere thanks and the doing of good to self and others, being grateful to Allah (God) for His
guidance, mercy, protection, and blessings which is a very little pay in return for what we are given by Him.
Written by: Elijah Muhammad
