2 Statement Of Purpose 2 Original Nation Magazine was conceived by faithful and humble followers of the principles and practices of Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (God). Writings in this periodical shall consist of thoughts of Black Men and Black Women (Original Muslims) those who bear witness that Allah (God), the Supreme Being, came in the Person of Master W. F. Muhammad and raised Messenger Elijah Muhammad as the Divine Leader, Teacher and Guide for us all. All Praises are due to Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, for the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Journey with us as we explore the profound realm of wisdom, knowledge and understanding that evolves from the ORIGINAL NATION divine reality that encompasses some 78 trillion years of ever-present existence and principled accomplishment. Islam, as brought to the Hells of North America by Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and taught for some 40 years by His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is that which gives vision to all who accept their own and join on to their own kind. We propose to continue to develop a new mind (body of thoughts and ideas) among Black people in America and also throughout the world (earth). We, the Muslims, pray to Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, through His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that we are granted success in this and every other righteous endeavor we undertake. As-Salaam-Alaikum

3 Editor s Note Volume 5, Issue 1 June September, 2011 In the Name of Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom all holy praises are forever due, and in the name of His Last and Greatest Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam- Alaikum. Welcome to our fifth edition of the Original Nation Magazine. In this issue, in the centerfold, Messenger Elijah Muhammad gives us the natural or divine science of Unity - something far superior to Yakub s law of unalike attracts and like repels. Also, we have included an extensive report on the 2011 Saviour s Day activities held again in Richmond, Virginia. As promised, Bro. Batin Muhammad begins a series of articles in this issue on Farming and Agriculture. Since we live in a 6,000 year old world of the Adamic (white) civilization we, Black people, have been exposed to all kinds of legal injustice. Therefore, throughout the world, in general, and in America, in particular, the atmosphere is one of constant lawlessness. Thus, we learn that real law is very important in Islam. We have included in this issue an article titled: Law In Islam-A Fact of Matter. As America (in particular) and the white world (in general) continue to fall, it is most important that all original (Black) people join on to their own kind and accept their own and be themselves. We cannot stress enough the importance of all of us joining the Lost-Found Nation of Islam under the divine guidance of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Last and Greatest Messenger of Allah (God), Master Fard Muhammad. We cherish the unity and the association with all of our dutiful brothers and sisters who work constantly in the cause of Islam, as taught by Messenger Elijah Muhammad, to reassemble our beloved Nation Of Islam. Please continue to read, study, and contribute to this publication. Also, continue to tell as many of our people as possible about our efforts to continue unifying in the Nation of Islam. Remember our Plain Warner, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad states: HURRY AND JOIN ON TO YOUR OWN KIND, THE TIME OF THIS WORLD IS AT HAND. We welcome comments on all articles written in this magazine.

4 Farming and Agriculture 4 By Bro. Batin Muhammad This article begins a series in which the writer explores many aspects of growing vegetables and the importance of good compost to enhance the soil. In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Last Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As- Salaam-Alaikum. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was given the hardest job of any man on Planet Earth; that is to raise the (then) 17 million (17,000,000) dead Black men and women of North America-people who don t know they are from the family of the righteous. They are the Original owners. Our lessons teach us that I can hardly believe that, unless they are blind, deaf and dumb...well, they were made blind, deaf and dumb when they were babies. The beginning of all nations is back to the earth brother, to the farm. Farming is the solution to our economic problems; farming is the foundation of self-independence. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad The Messenger of Allah a few series of articles, so be on the look out for your proper way to grow food and how to eat to live. Do you want more life and more life in abundance? Well, Elijah (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) has the answer, and with his help you will gain in the series to come. Space is limited so have patience. Remember, patience is a virtue. We are going to learn how to plant, what to plant and all about composting, including right fertilizers. Since the slave master (the devil) taught us to eat the wrong food it makes us to be other than our own self. Our own self is a righteous Muslim. A devil cannot fool us today. This is a life or death situation so don t miss out. (To be continued) Eating Good Food Makes Us Live Longer I would like to write a series of articles on the proper way to good food and good health. We must have good food in order to eat to live, and not to die. This will take

5 Seek Refuge In The Lord Of The Dawn By Bro. Kamau Islam In the Most Holy Name of Allah, Who Came in the Divine Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As- Salaam-Alaikum. And from the evil of intense darkness, when it comes, Holy Qur-an Chapter 113:3 The contrary God, Yakub, made a race of people (the Adamic or white race) to rule the Black Nation for 6,000 years. Messenger Elijah Muhammad teaches us that Yakub gave his made-man (the white race) a science of tricks in order that they could rule us. The rulership of the devil (the white man) during this 6,000 years on our Planet Earth has been identified by the Original Black Scientists as a vacuum in our present 25,000 year time cycle. Here in the Holy Qur-an Chapter 113, verse 3, this same time period covers a development known as intense darkness. Both, the vacuum and the intense darkness are products made manifest by the that -Yakub s made-man (the devil or white race). worked diligently to obtain, maintain and sustain this intense darkness during this entire 6,000 year vacuum. Thus, according to the Holy Qur-an, and according to Allah (God) and all of His messengers and prophets, it is most urgent that we seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn. And when thy Lord said to the angels, I am going to place a ruler in the earth, they said: Wilt Thou place in it such as make mischief in it and shed blood? And we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness. He said: Surely I know what you know not. Holy Qur-an 2:30 Original Black Scientists knew that such a nature could be personified, however, they (the Scientists) did not care to bring it out or make it manifest. They simply allowed various members of the Black family to live to themselves on our planet. The scientists did not seek to destroy the black germ but left it alone so that it could assist in controlling the brown germ whenever it fell short of the mark. The decision was made in the year one of the present cycle or Asiatic Calendar History to allow Yakub to come forth with a new type of rulership-a Vice- Regent or Vicegerent. Radio Broadcast Schedule This is the programming schedule for the MUHAMMAD SPEAKS radio broadcast which is aired each Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. over station W C L M 1450 on the AM dial. This broadcast has been airing over the radio and the world-wide internet for over 12 years. 1st Sunday Temple Service 2nd Sunday Messenger Elijah Muhammad 3rd Sunday Live/Taped Panel Discussion 4th Sunday Messenger Elijah Muhammad 5 With the science of tricknology, the civilization of Adam and Eve (the devil or white race) has The intense darkness and all other activities in this 6,000 year vacuum are constantly governed or ruled over by a people who possess a degenerate nature. Scriptures in both Bible and Holy Quran refer to such a people as wicked. Thus, the works of this people (the white race) make manifest the evil of intense darkness. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us, from Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, that the 5th Sunday Temple Service

6 6 If It s Light You Want We Are Still Reaching Out By Bro. Hakeem Muhammad In the Name of Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Last Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As- Salaam-Alaikum. As we grow closer to the close of the world of the made man (white people), we who follow Allah Master Fard Muhammad, God in Person, and His Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, are still reaching out to our brothers and sisters who have not come to the truth of their own true religion (Islam). They are still being urged to come to Islam with haste. It Is Time We Make A Choice, For Salvation As we watch this world s fall, it is most important that we all (at least) hear these teachings, whether we join on or turn away. This is the day of separation, so teaches the Messenger of Allah. His duty, he states, is to warn us of the time and day in which we live and the decision is left to the individual to make their choice. Most outreach programs are set up to aid individuals by helping them to sustain themselves in the society of the present world; more closely, the wayward world of second-class citizens (who are) trying to scrape through life with little or nothing to call their own in the way of material. These programs cater to those who seem to be less fortunate and only provide them with temporary material needs (food, clothing and shelter); and none of which aid in the advancement to a better life which includes development physically, mentally and especially spiritually. We Need A New Outreach Program It is said that man does not live by bread alone and this is true. In order to have and live a balanced life in this world one must be removed from it. This starts with a new program that awakens us into a new world, one that is based in truth. Not the so-called truth that is given by those who have led us into this condition of dependence. This (the present outreach program) is given by our open enemy, white people, who have been our ill-standard of measurement. We must have a true and divine program that restores us to our own selves. This means that we must be in a program that is for us, and by one who has a plan to bring us back into a knowledge of self and kind. This is the program of Allah that He has given to His Messenger for us. We cannot follow a people s religion (way of life) that is, in truth, other than that which is our own by nature. As long as we accept and continue to reach out to the no-help, socalled outreach programs which have been set up or styled after those of white people, we will never be free to grow in the way of our true God, Allah, or the outreach program that He offers through His Last Messenger and Warner to us, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. We offer an Outreach Program at Muhammad s Temples of Islam for our brothers and sisters that is from God in Person, but it is up to our brothers and sisters to reach out. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

7 General Orders By Bro. Jeremiah A. Obey Maulvi Muhammad Ali says, Is only a declaration of divine majesty and glory, divine holiness and perfection, and of the entire dependence of man on his Maker. This is also a preface of the Holy Qur-an. Needed: Contributors to Muhammad s Newsletter. 7 Servant of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, through the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the One God to Whom all praises be forever, Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Last and true Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I greet you in Peace, As- Salaam-Alaikum. There are many ways we can describe what we say are our General Orders. Why? Because Allah s wisdom is infinite; Master Fard Muhammad to Whom all Praises is due forever. He does this through His choice, a Messenger for the Blackman in America, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. When I think over General Orders it guides me to prayers to pray-it is, as I follow, O Allah we beseech Thy help and ask Thy protection, and believe in Thee, and trust in Thee, and we laud Thee in the best manner, and we thank Thee, and we are not ungrateful to Thee, and we cast off and forsake him who disobeys Thee. In the above prayer we learn that the whole of the Muslim prayer, as If you would only adopt the saying of the Muslims prayer, you would be helped. Of all the praying people on earth, the Muslim s worship to God is in the best manner. Why? Why do you say this? Well, we don t just say, we prove it; the words in our prayers are the best and most humble. Why? Because they (we) cast off and forsake those who disobey Allah (God). This is like unto a General Order. All Black men in America should learn this prayer. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad has shown us in the plainest way that the Lord s Prayer, as it is called, contains some words that should not have been written there, such as; lead us not into temptation. God will not lead us into temptation. It is the devils (white people) that tempt us to sin. Another is Give us this day our daily bread. Here again, the words this day could lead one to believe that on that day the prayer was given, there was a shortage of bread. So you have a lie right there. As we can now see, the lost-found members of the great Black Nation, the Original people of the sun, are greatly improving their prayer services and obedience to Almighty God Who, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, found them, and to Whom all Praises are due forever, for bringing Islam; the knowledge of God, our friend, and the knowledge of the devil, our enemy. As-Salaam-Alaikum. Muhammad s Newsletter, a monthly Internet publication, is seeking contributions from Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Articles must be thoroughly researched, clear, comprehensive and concise. Please, no more than five (5) paragraphs per article.

8 Saviour s Day 2011 in Richmond, Virginia Our Saviour Has Arrived 8 In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom all Holy Praises are due forever, and in the name of His Last and Greatest Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam- Alaikum. Muslims Engage In Three Days of Activities in Observance of Saviour s Day Minister Kenneth Muhammad makes points during Temple Structural Conference From Thursday, February 24 through Saturday, February 26, members of Muhammad s Temples of Islam from Connecticut to Virginia converged on Richmond, Virginia to celebrate the annual Saviour s Day observance. Those who arrived into the city checked into the hotel and attended a brief hospitality reception before retiring for the evening to get rest so as to be ready for the next full day of activities. Civilization Classes and Temple Structural Conference Held On Friday Friday s activities began at 8:30 a.m. with Civilization Classes for men (F.O.I.) and Minister Batin Muhammad answers questions during Temple Structural Conference Civilization Classes for women (M.G.T.-G.C.C.). This effort was and is most necessary, particularly as we struggle to rebuild from the national dismantling process (of the Nation of Islam) that began shortly after Messenger Elijah Muhammad delivered his Theology of Time lecture series in the year some 39 years ago. Following a brief break after Civilization Classes, all members assembled in the Temple auditorium to participate in a Temple Structural Conference. This included discussion and interaction from members present. Topics included: meeting days and times, meeting rostrum format, Temple officers and their duties, processing, class structure, administration, business meetings, Saviour s Day Gift, security and checking procedures, fishing and propagating Islam, etc. Getting acquainted or re-acquainted with such important procedures is most necessary as we have, for nearly two generations, been bombarded with all kinds of chaos, mayhem and confusion here in the wilderness hells of North America. Laborers Meetings and N. O. I. G. A. Meeting Also Held Members of the Nation of Islam, later on the same day, were able to hold a national laborers meeting as well as other laborers meetings; both designed to assist in governing and ensuring a continuous and orderly flow of planned and/or scheduled activities. Muslim followers and guests capped off the day of activities with a Banquet which was held at the Byrd Park Round House. Attendees enjoyed the delicious Muslim cuisine as well as a splendid recital by youth members of Muhammad s Temple of Islam #41, Bridgeport, Connecticut. Nation Of Islam Independence July 4, 1930

9 Our Saviour Has Arrived : Theme of Nation Of Islam s Annual Convention Held Here Four Ministers Deliver Timely Messages 9 Minister Kenneth Muhammad of MTI #41-Bridgeport,Cn. Minister Mahdi Muhammad of MTI #6-Baltimore, Md. Minister Batin Muhammad of MTI-Gloucester, Va. Minister Kamau Islam of MTI #24-Richmond,Va. On Saturday, February 26, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and guests attended the annual Saviour's Day Program. It was held at the former Holiday Inn located on North Boulevard. Four ministers, each representing the teachings of Messenger Elijah Muhammad, spoke on the theme: Our Saviour Has Arrived. Many Of Our People Do Not Want To Be Saved The opening speaker for the program was Minister Kenneth Muhammad of Muhammad's Temple of Islam #41, Bridgeport, Connecticut. He welcomed the attentive audience and spoke on the purpose of the annual observance of Saviour s Day. He also emphasized the tragic fact that so many of our Black people in America do not think they are worthy of being saved. Many, he stated, have become so in love with this wicked civilization that they do not want to be saved from it. Minister Kenneth also made reference to the 113th Chapter of the Holy Qur -an, as it advises us to seek refuge in Allah (God) from the darkness that the God of this 6,000-year-old world, Yakub, has created. The next speaker was Minister Mahdi Muhammad of Muhammad s Temple of Islam #6, Baltimore, Maryland. He also spoke on the importance of the gift that Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, has given us via His Last Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He stated that as others pride themselves in possessing personal items of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad we should be happy with receiving from him and living by the word of truth us divine guidance. which gives Minister Batin Muhammad of Muhammad s Temple of Islam, Gloucester, Virginia, spoke next. In keeping with the theme of salvation for the so-called American Negroes or African - Americans, he stated we must learn and pay close attention to the teachings of Messenger Elijah Muhammad if we truly want to be saved. Minister Batin stressed the importance of becoming a part of the Nation of Islam, learning our lessons, getting a knowledge of God, a knowledge of the devil, and a knowledge of self and kind. He also stressed the fact that Allah (God) has prepared a mighty weapon of war The Mother Plane-to destroy the civilization of our enemies (the white race). He stated that those who seek salvation should have no fear because Allah has promised to protect us. The last speaker for the program was host Minister Kamau Islam of Muhammad s Tempe of Islam #24, Richmond, Virginia. He also spoke on the fact that our salvation has arrived, noting the importance of understanding the knowledge of Allah (God) as well as the reality of Allah (God). Minister Kamau cited documentation on this important aspect of our salvation. He stated that Messenger Elijah Muhammad specifically addressed this important factor of the new Islam at the beginning of his 40 year mission to us and through out the entire time.

10 10 UNITY By Messenger Elijah Muhammad [Editor s Note: Many Muslims and Black people in general are familiar, no doubt, with books written by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, tapes recorded by him and videos of Saviour s Day Addresses. Ever since Allah (God), Master Fard Muhammad missioned him in the early 1930 s, the Messenger has engaged in an on-going writing campaign to his people, the Blackman of America. In the early years much written correspondence was made to the early laborers. Later the Messenger produced flyers, to be distributed to the public, announcing meetings. As the Nation grew and monies began to accumulate, the Messenger began to write articles which were printed in many of the leading so-called Negro newspapers as these were places where our people could learn more about him and the message that Allah (God) gave him to give to us. Since we have been producing the Original Nation Magazine we have been re-printing many of these articles in the center spread of this publication. As this is the year 2011, many of these articles go back some 60 or more years. They take us back into the 1950 s and before.] Sincere unity comes from the love of one another and agreement is assured. The lack of unity is the real cause of the existing dissension among the so-called Negroes. There is no love for one another and this lack of love makes it impossible to unite and agree with each other. Allah, in the Person of Master W.F. Muhammad (God in Person) brought the key to our unity by giving us the knowledge of self and others. This knowledge of self has made us to love self and our kind-not the devil. It is against the law of nature for us to love strange flesh as we love self and kind. Unlike is repelled by alike, though unlike may well attract. But the law of nature will rebel (though unlike may well attract) against it because of the lack of alikeness. Perfect unity is obtained

11 Unlike is repelled by alike, though unlike may well attract. But the law of nature will rebel (though unlike may well attract) against it because of the lack of alikeness. then from alikeness, and not from unlike. Every kind of life we see in this world is different; everyone unlike, but yet unity is at work among only the alike. We see that the world of mankind is intelligent enough to recognize their own likeness and repel unlikeness. Therefore, they live on a part of this earth alone to themselves-black, Brown, Yellow, Red and White. But my poor people like unlike and hate alike because they have no knowledge of self and kind; not to mention other than self. They are therefore called blind, deaf and dumb, and this is true even if it is offensive and disgraceful to be called such names. Love and unity cannot be enjoyed without the knowledge of self and kind. The so-called Negroes should attend the meetings of the Muslims to learn about self and kind as revealed to us by Allah (to Whom be Praised forever), Who came in the Person of Master W.F. Muhammad, the hoped for and long awaited for the last 2,000 years. The Great Mahdi, the Finder of us, the Lost and the Last members of the Divine Nation of righteousness, the Great Restorer of the Kingdom of Islam. Everyone of us who accepts (entire submission to the Will of Allah) Allah as our God and His religion, Islam, enjoys peace of mind, contentment and have no fear nor shall they grieve. This religion, Islam, is actually powered by Allah (God) and this power and the great wisdom the secret of God, and the universe that we live inautomatically invites us. One of the main purposes of His coming is to unite the Lost and Found members of the Great Asiatic Nation of Islam. His supreme wisdom given to the Lost-found Nation of Islam, as He calls us, will put us on top of civilization as Yakub s supreme wisdom and knowledge on how to trick the righteous into doing evil-just the opposite of right-put his people, the White Race. The Great Mahdi will make a nation from the product of righteousness and teach them a Supreme knowledge of the God of righteousness that has never been taught since the creation of the universe. He will make His people rule forever, as that wisdom is the utmost of Divine knowledge. And as I have said, it is so powerful that it automatically unites us. 11

12 Why We Continue To Study The Unlimited Science Of The Actual Facts/ Armageddon Board By Bro. Hakeeme Muhammad In the Name of Allah Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom all Holy Praises are due forever. We forever thank Allah for our divine leader, teacher and guide, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us the importance of the Actual Facts or Armageddon Board; a board that is found in every temple in the Nation of Islam that is under the guidance of his teachings. Messenger Muhammad states: Being the first and the smartest scientist on the deportation of our moon and the one who suffered most of all, Allah (God) has decided to place us on the top with a thorough knowledge of self and His guidance. The Messenger also teaches that we must also give up the white race s names and religion in order to gain success. He states their days of success are over and that their rule will last only as long as we remain asleep to the knowledge of self. Ministers and other brothers who teach from the Actual Facts board often speak on the importance of the rise or resurrection of our people. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that the old world must be removed to make way for the new world and that the universal struggle waged by the old world against the beginning of the new world will fail, as did former opponents of Allah. We also teach from this board on THE JUDGEMENT, and on UNIVERSAL CORRUPTION. In the center of the board is the question: Which One Will Survive The War Of Armageddon? We also study teachings on the coming of Allah (God) and the Reality or Person of Allah (God)- The Great Mahdi. In addition, we learn the history and the science of our flag of Islam that represents freedom, justice and equality. The Messenger also states: So let us all unite and rise up and accept our flag which represents the whole entire creation of God. This also means that we teach of all the sciences of the universe. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad instructs us how to teach from the Armageddon or Actual Facts board so that we can learn what freedom, justice and equality are truly all about. He also teaches us how to explain to our people the differences between the religion of life (Islam) and the religion of death (Christianity) so that we can consciously make a choice between the two. Why The Job Of Separation Is So Difficult The Messenger teaches us why the job or separating the Black slave from his present day white slave master is so difficult. He references Jeremiah 2:14 in the Bible in the old testament, as this scripture asks the question; Has Israel become a home born slave? The Messenger teaches us that the intelligent (intellectual) people and the college university graduates are poisoned 100% more in mind and into the love of the enemy (white race) than the uneducated. This is why he states that according to scripture the poor gladly receive the truth after being offered heaven at once from Almighty Allah (God) Himself. From the Actual Facts/ Armageddon Board we teach a clear teaching on the meaning of the resurrection, the separation and the judgment. And last but not least we teach that the Original Man (The Asiatic Black Man) is God and that the non-original man (the Caucasian or white man) is the devil; and that this final war (Armageddon) will total remove the devil from our planet, leaving neither root nor branch. As-Salaam-Alaikum. 12

13 How To Eat To Live A Return To Long Life How to eat to live means how to live and have a life that you are satisfied with. Life represents a general condition of human existence. Allah has given to us and has taught us that way of life that is good for us. We can accept it or reject it.

John X In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Last Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As- Salaam-Alaikum. Devils Do Not Teach Us To Live A Long Life A return is defined as going or coming back, as to an earlier condition or place. Messenger Muhammad teaches us to eat to live to bring about a return to perfection and long life. Yes, there is such a condition as perfection. However, he teaches us that long life is not enjoyed by eating food which will shorten and destroy life. Under the white race, we were not taught how to eat to live. They, the white devils, are not here to teach us, the Lost and Found members of the Aboriginal Nation, to live a long life. They were put here to cut short our lives, and for the past 6,000 years they have done so. Our leader, teacher, and divine guide teaches us that we do not have to eat every herb of the earth; every cattle of the earth, every bird that flies, every domestic fowl or every piece of fruit that a fruit tree or vine is bearing. Our stomach is not the boss-the brain is the boss. It is not that God created sickness for you, nor did He create death for you. We kill ourselves by not knowing how to live. You and I, so teaches Messenger Muhammad, can live as long as we know how to eat to live. Let us remember that 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. As- Salaam-Alaikum.

15 Coming Back Home: To Gain Knowledge of Self 15 By Sister Waheedah Dawan In the Name of Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever. We forever thank Allah for our Divine leader, teacher and guide, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum. I have come back to Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He (the Messenger of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad) has instructed us to join on to our own kind because unity is the key to our success. I can truly bear witness to being lulled back to sleep in a state of being deaf, dumb and blind, after being taught by Messenger Elijah Muhammad more than 40 years ago. I was stumbling around like a sleep walker in this present day world of the devil-the white man. Blackman, wake up and unite with your own kind in order to overcome and crush the devil (the white man) whose promised respite of 6,000 years is and has been over with for some years now. The devil (white man) still reigns because you, Blackman, won t step up and take your place as the Original Man, maker, owner, cream of the Planet Earth and God of the Universe. Blackman, don t you want to know more about yourself? Join, unite with us at Muhammad s Temple of Islam. Have no fear. Fear no one but Allah.

Here, there was no hustle, no bustle, no air conditioning nor WI -FI in the housing facilities. Thus, you know you are in touch with nature without these amenities. There was fishing, boating, ponds, hiking trails and much more that would fit whatever your particular group could endure. The hockey ring, with equipment of skates and sticks provided more entertainment and enjoyment for the children.

17 Muslim Ministers speak at spiritual meeting as believers listen attentively to messages being delivered. The Messenger (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) said to #1 Michigan, May 11, 1937: When sincere and righteous Muslims are one in body together, there is unity, and where unity and brotherly love is, there is Allah Our Saviour. For this was the desire of Our Saviour when He came alone from heaven to link we the Lost-Found nation in unity with Allah, now and forever. The best part of the retreat for me was the coming together with intelligent discussions of the teachings brought forth from Allah, Master Fard Muhammad and His last Messenger. There were teachings on how to promote the teachings in the respective areas; to be helpers in the cause to civilize the uncivilized. We all will try to stay in touch with one another until we physically come together again at Summer Conference (in Bridgeport, Connecticut). There, the theme this year will be, How Strong Is Your Foundation? The dates for the Summer Conference are July 23rd and 24th, This weekend will be dedicated to the believers coming together to discuss nation building and the life-giving teachings of Allah s (Master Fard Muhammad s) last Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum. 17

18 LAW IN ISLAM A Fact of Matter By Bro. Kamau Islam In the Name of Allah, Who came in the Divine Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His last and greatest Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam- Alaikum. A rule of conduct or action established or laid down and enforced by a governing authority is a basic definition of the word law. One might ask, Why is law important?. Digging deeper, we might want to know why law in Islam is so important. Messenger Elijah Muhammad teaches us that Islam is Mathematics and Mathematics is Islam. He also teaches us that Islam is freedom, justice and equality. For 6,000 Years The Earth Has Been Under Constant Rule Of LAWLESSNESS Bro. Kamau Islam In order to create, expound upon and constantly conduct progressive civilization people must have a firm understanding of divine law. Thus, without a firm understanding of divine law and obedience to divine law individual people as well as whole nations perish. Messenger Elijah Muhammad teaches us that some 50,000 years ago the Black Nation allowed the weaker of ourselves to rule; and 6,000 years ago we brought forth a mademan (the devil or white race) that has constantly perpetuated a rule of lawlessness. When ever a people need guidance or have fallen so low that they cannot help themselves, Allah-God always raises a Messenger or Prophet and sends him to uplift fallen humanity. Many hear the Prophet or Messenger and at the same time don t hear the Prophet or Messenger. These men from Allah-God bring divine guidance in the form of scripture to the people to whom they are sent. Many people do not receive these men of Allah. Some look over the scriptures brought by the Messenger or Prophet and others just overlook them both. People Seek Ways To Escape Obedience To Law Throughout the Holy Qur-an we find laws which aid people in governing themselves individually and collectively. All Muslims profess to adhere to and practice at least five(5) basic principles. In spite of misunderstanding and misinterpretation which results in various philosophies in Islam, Muslims all agree that pork, pig or hog is not to be eaten. They know that to partake of it is a violation of divine law. The teachings of the white civilization found in the Bible (from Jewish and Christian doctrines) produce a drastic conflict as to obedience to law. The Jews start off with no eating of pig or hog but the Christians say it is alright to eat it and some insist that it has even been blessed. Also, we find that in reading the Ten Commandments and other rules and laws given by the Prophet Moses, in regards to what thou shall not do, they seem to create all sorts of ways to get around obeying these laws. All of this seems to suggest that many people do not believe in the importance or value of these laws and the serious consequences that result when people refuse to obey or adhere to these laws.. Messenger Elijah Muhammad Teaches: Islam Is The Sun Of Law Law in Islam greatly aids in the production of the natural way of life of Black people here in the Wilderness of North America as well as others who reside through out the planet Earth. Messenger Elijah Muhammad has also stated that Islam is the Sun of Law. Here he gives us an understanding of Islam as that which aids in the development, maintaining, and sustaining of law. The Black Man (the Original Man) as he lives his natural way of life, Islam, is a constant student of his own creation. A science that deals with this study is known as physics- a science that deals with matter and motion and includes mechanics, heat, light, electricity, sound, etc. Law, which is founded in Islam, constantly manifests established truths such as: (1). Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space; and (2). Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. These truths also bear witness to the fact that law in Islam is a principle of matter. According to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, it was in the beginning 18

19 Law In I s l a m Continued from page 18 that the One Supreme Sole Divine Authority-Almighty God, Allah Himself established and continued the enforcement of governing authority (law). In fact. He (the First Allah) spent trillions of years building life foundations capable of supporting all divine civilization throughout Creation. Today, we can find many people who profess to have problems with obeying laws. Some would like you and me to follow laws which they favor or which they think favor them. These same people have problems with submitting to divine law. As before mentioned, divine law is proven over and over and over to be right and exact, and has withstood the eons of time. Law Is An Important Science of Civilization Messenger Elijah Muhammad teaches us from Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, that the Original Man (the Asiatic Black Man) is the Father of Civilization and God of the Universe. With such profound truths we must learn and study that which the Original Man has established that creates, maintains and sustains civilization. Law is one of the important sciences of civilization. The Original (Black) Man who is the Father of civilization and God of the universe is also the God and Father of law. Thus, any rule of conduct or action established or laid down and enforced by a governing authority must comply with His standards if it is to have any real measure of success. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us in one of the many books that he has written titled Our Saviour Has Arrived, Chapter 26, under the subject- The Will Of Allah Is being Done, on some of the history of the origin of the First Allah (God). On page 146, beginning in paragraph four Messenger Muhammad states: The Will of Allah must be done. Allah could not have a Will Himself until He had brains, Himself. Allah was created; self-created from an atom of life. The atom of life was not only able to create flesh and have blood from the earth that He was created on-allah (God) was created on the very earth that we are on today. But the earth was not as it is today. The Will Of Allah Controls Law Law in Islam (Mathematics) enables matter to be transformed through the states known as (1) solid, (2) liquid, and (3) gas. Varied and various combinations of these established states of matter greatly manifest reality. We define these ordered states of matter to be land (solid), air (gases or atmosphere) and water (liquid). Messenger Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the religion (way of life) of Allah (God) is Islam. Surely His way is rooted in the foundation of that which He has brought forth into existence as well as in that which He has yet to make manifest. To explain in basic terms, law in Islam is the Blackman s perception of the natural elements of matter in reality and how these can serve him in obtaining and sustaining creation. The human brain must discern law before it can truly functionorder and develop thought into ideas. (To be continued.)
