Addendum
I recommend the material contained in this publication for all present and former members of the Nation of Islam.

As Salaam Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak, lets make Dua' AI Fatiha ...let us say we thank Allah (swt) for our presence here, say we thank Allah (swt) for this Religion, that we are Muslims. We thank Allah (swt) for AI Islam, the Quran, the Word of G-d and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).

We are beginning a session, a study session which will be commentary, commenting on the Religion of AI Islam, its knowledge sources and its knowledge. And listening to your comments and questions at certain periods of time during our study session. Most likely when I have finished one topic then I will open up for you to ask questions if you like, you know the numbers are big so the questions have to be selected, we won't be able to take all of your questions and hear your comments.

I see Imams in the audience that I've seen for years and you are my brother and my friend, we love you very much peace be unto you and all of you, we love you very much, peace be unto you.

I have a book before we begin, in fact this is the beginning of my discussion with you and comments for this session, this first session. And we are here in the Harvey Islamic Center where we have one of the most beloved Imams in this community, the resident Imam here, Imam Darnell Karim. We thank Allah (swt) for him, we pray Allah (swt) show him mercy, guide him and open all the treasures of His goodness to Imam Darnell Karim, Ameen.

Imam Darnell Karim is outstanding member of this community, very outstanding, he has endured great tests and he has remained firm and steadfast, can't get that enough; never doubted, never turned back. Never showed dullness of spirit, he has bright eyes when I see him, his eyes brighten up when I see him, a wonderful person. And cares about the whole community not part of it, he cares about the whole community and especially those who have paid a price to be here today, the pioneers and those who came in recently but you paid a price to keep your Religion and your name, yeah you paid a price.

Book: The Oxford history of Islam 

Non Muslim Writers On Islam Be Careful

This book is by non Muslim, I have been his guest at the institute where he is the professor and also head of the Islamic Studies department his name is John Esposito and several of you here that I know, you know him, yes. I see your faces, I know you know him very well. He has sent me a book, the book is titled "Islam" and The Oxford history of Islam its called by Islam and author history of Islam University.

So we know about Oxford University, the great Oxford University, John Esposito is a very well known scholar and professor, very well known. And what I want to say is that I'm not knocking him, but I'm just going to share something with that you have to know. And many of you know already, no matter what a Non Muslim puts out about AI Islam, we have to go independently of all that they put out. Jew, Christian, no matter what they are, whatever they put out on AI Islam we do not take what they put out on AI Islam without scrutiny, without searching it carefully to see if its respecting our Religion or disrespecting our Religion. To see if its guessing, so we have to do this.

And we have to follow the best and most learned of our leaders in the Islamic world not just here among us, in the Islamic world, to see what they think of these books. This is a major contribution.   So we have to know what the Supreme council of Saudi Arabia thinks about this book. We have to know what Rabitat based in Mecca thinks about this book. I would like to know what the scholars in Sudan think about this book and many others, Morocco and several other places.

And when 1 know what the Syrian Imam Quftaro, Ahmed Quftaro thinks about this book and before I would feel comfortable with it, I would have to know how they feel about the book. And usually the way one of the respected centers would judge is the way most of them would judge. So if the scholars of Sudan would say this book is not correct and is has serious errors in it, then most likely that's what Saudi Arabia would say, that's what Morocco would say, that's what all of them would say. Usually they are in accord with either each other except for a few rare exceptions, followers or pardon me, scholars may differ with them.

Now I'm not talking about scholars converted to AJ Islam like we are, we are converted to Al Islam, we're converts to Al Islam and I'm not talking scholars who identify with orientalist and there are a lot of them from the Islamic world who have no problem with the orientalist, they work together with them side by side. They work on projects together, with the orientalist, I'm not saying they are bad people, but one thing is for sure, they are not clear people, alright.

Now they have come up with some wonderful topics in here, I'm going to give you some of the topics. One   in particular I want to bring to your attention that's covered in this book on Al Islam, everybody hearing me with no difficulty? Very good, on the back wall back there? Alright, very good. It's a little warm here I don't know if you take off your garments, if you have to take off your top garment, your coats and put it on your chair or put it on your lap or something, is you have to do that, that's fine.

I know Chicago scares some of you all from those warm climates didn't it? I went out one night with my children, they wanted me to go out, I went out and they didn't want to come in when I wanted to come in, they still wanted to stay out. So I said "look out here" I said "see if you can find anything moving other than us". I said " if you come out and don't see anything moving other than a human being, no birds, no dog, no nothing, that tells you the human being is foolish, you should be inside too."

Overall we're doing very well, I want you to know that because we all are local people and we're national people and I'm speaking to you as your Imam that travels a lot among you going from place to place, region to region or section to section.   As a community national and even international because you know we have some people from Bermuda and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of them are here today from Bermuda. So we have some here from Bermuda, they are very strong and healthy minded group of Muslims out of Bermuda, mostly professional people, if not, they are moving in a professional way, if not professionally trained.

So the contents begins with Muhammad and the khalifate or the Khalifa, and that's where we're going to begin, this session too, after comments on this book which is in the interest of the study of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), m comments are in the interest of the study of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) and the Quran, the Book of G-d, the guidance and Book of G-d, the Word of G-d.

It begins with Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh)and the Khalifa may G-d be pleased with his companions and the next chapter, chapter two is called the "Fruit of the tree of knowledge". Now this is the chapter that I want to come back to and just have a few comments on the choice of language there.

The next chapter "Law and Society", I'm not giving you the authors names, the next chapter is "Science, medicine and technology". Next chapter "Art and architecture", why do they mention, "Science, medicine and technology" in this book that's on Al Islam? Because the Muslims were very actively involved in the sciences, studying them, teaching them and using them. Medicine, the same and also technology.

Science Different From Technology 
Science Cave Man Discovered

Some of us think technology is modern concepts, its an ancient concept, but modern technology differs from ancient technology just as modern science differs from ancient science. Science is not new either, its nothing new, the cave man discovered science, yes when he was eating his food and I learned this from studies in science. When he was eating his food out on the ground and set fires and he would notice after the fire, changes in thing, that the fire changed the natural composition of things. So he became aware of that, then he became aware of some science, didn't he?

And when they would set big fires and when the burning was over, if they where in the right area where there was iron ore, when the fire went away, they would discover later that iron had formed. And they would take the iron and heat it and they became the first blacksmiths, they would make weapons of the iron that they discovered. So none of these things are new, they have just been studied by modern men or by the modern world and have been made courses, whereas the ancient people did not form them into courses as we know them now by separating the sciences and putting them into courses, studying them in the interest of improving society itself, having the knowledge serve society.

They were just people doing things as the need presented itself and as the need presented itself they responded to the situation and tried to get the best of the situation for a particular need. But the modern thinker was different He was not looking to just serve a present need, he was looking into the future to see how the future could be even better, made for mankind. So that's the big difference in how they were looking at their situation. And that's the kind of thinker Muslims are suppose to be.    Not be thinkers just looking at present needs, "but we need a bigger facility here", no look way down the road, far down the road there and think what we need and then you can handle this much easier. But, if this is as far as you can see then, this becomes very difficult, but if you can see much further than this, then you can handle this very easily.


Hereafter The Hope Of The Soul Of Man

That is why G-d wants us to become future oriented, if you understand the Religion it wants us to become future oriented. The number one hope is that we will have a home in paradise after this world is finished as we know it. That is the hope of all spiritual people or Religious people of the Book, of Scripture and many others that are not of the Book or Scripture. That is the hope, to have paradise one day, to be free from the burden of this life and have paradise one day. A life that won't bring all these burdens, a life that won't be filled with all these miseries, confusion.

So that is the hope of the soul of man, the soul of all of us that is, when I say the soul of man and that is in the future, it is not now. and you hope to qualify for it. But it is in the future and so is the hope for Al Islam in this world's life. It should always be a future goal of us no matter how much we progress, we should always be future oriented. That is the way the West is so much ahead of everybody else, they do not care how much they progress, they will still look into the future, because they are future oriented. They will look into the future to see what they can do to even improve upon what they got, although it seems to be perfect for many people, they are satisfied with it just as it is. Some of their thinkers among the leaders will be all the time devoted to looking in the future to see how can this be made better, that is what we are suppose to be, we are suppose to be just like that.

We believe in the "Yaumul Akhir" and "Akhir" they say the last day or the judgement day, last is good like "Al Akhir" "Al Awwal" the first, "Al Akhir" the last. So we are not only - - and you should be making notes if you are my students, you can not-remember all these things, you should have come with some paper.

Q.21.30; big bang theory heaven earth one then split.

"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation) before We clove them asunder?

Q.2I.I04; heaven roll up make anew

"The Day that we roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed) even as We produced the first Creation so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it.

Q. 1034; Allah creates and repeats creation

""It is Allah Who originates Creation and repeats it: 

Muslims Look To Future, Hereafter To See Conclusion

We Muslims are not just looking to the future to see how we can make it better, but we are looking to the future to know how it is going to be concluded, that is the difference. G-d is going conclude everything. And even if you study this creation, this material existence that they won't call creation, the real atheist won't even call this creation, he just calls it material reality or material existence. If we look at this material existence as an atheist, but as an atheist who is also a scientist studying this material realm or material reality, we will come to a conclusion that things are working, factors are working in this material existence to bring it to a conclusion.- Its not going to be always like it is, there is going to be a conclusion for even matter, matter is coming to a conclusion and scientists theorize what that conclusion will be.

One conclusion is the big bang theory or the dark hole theory, that is, all of this began from a dark whole, an energy concentration, a concentration of energy that was just concentrating and concentrating until too much pressure built up and it exploded. And when it exploded it threw out all these worlds as fire first and gases and then they cooled and become like this universe, that's a theory. And a theory means a guess, but a guess of a person who's mind you respect, not the guess of a fool, the guess of a person who's mind you respect, so it's a theory.

So if they believe that this world is coming to a conclusion and after it, they believe that this is going to happen again. Soon, sometime in the future, when it says soon, it means billions of years now, soon now is relative to the time that it took for the black hole to throw out all this. Soon in that kind of time picture, its is going to happen again and all of this will go into a concentration of energy and will become another black hole and it will bang again and throw out worlds.

Now we don't know whether man is right or wrong but we believe in G-d if we are believers, we believe in Allah (swt} and Allah (swt) says that He has made world and He is well capable of repeating it. He is the One Who makes creation and repeats it and didn't says ''makes it and repeats it one time". He just says He makes it and repeats it, so who knows maybe Allah (swt) gave the scientist direction for His theory or direction for the logic, who knows? Because it is certainly in the Quran before it was in the scientific theory of modern man.

Matthew. 7.7; Seek you shall find 

" Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Now I want to go quickly through this, I slowed up too long, that's my problem, I get on something and just can't get off of it. That's how come I am who I am too, yeah, I believe, (knock) I can do that all my life time because I know after a while I'm going to hear something, somebody is going to answer. That's what the Book says right? The Christian Bible, says knock don't give up now , be patient and it will be opened unto you, praise be to Allah (swt), ok lets see.


Muslims Gave Up Material Warfare 

The next one we mentioned is "Law and society", here is where we are "Art and architecture", Philosophy and Theology", "Islam and Christendom" and the Christian world is taken all together as a world not as a Religion. This is when the Muslim world gave up the belief that they could compete with the West, in the making of material weapons and warfare, they gave up. When West got those guns the Muslims gave up and I don't blame them, time is up, yes it was.    Time to give up fighting that kind of war you never stop fighting for your future if there is opposition in the way, but you may change the form of weapons.

"The eastward journey and the Muslim kingship", this is the Far East Asia. Al Islam went eastward to the Far East and those people were civilized people mostly, well, let's say this, they were very intelligent people and they had science and industry more than the rest of the world, Asia China especially China and India.

The Muslims went there and introduced Al Islam and they had kingships, government under one ruler and his helpers, his cabinet or whatever formed. And we have Al Islam in Africa in the 1800's but we must understand that Al Islam went to Africa while the Prophet (pbuh) was still living, because Bilal was converted to Al Islam while he was a slave in Saudi Arabia. And do you think he was converted and did not write home to his parents, his relatives and friends? No, they knew about it, the message went there right away to Africa, in fact Africa and Saudi Arabia, it is believed in theory, that those two countries belong to one continental mass. And when you look at the map you can see that.

Al Hadith Ipl50#92; Mujeddid every century

Sami reported: about what 1 know from the Prophet (pbuh) he said "The Almighty and Glorious Allah will send for this community at the head of every century (100 yrs) one who will revive their Religion for them.   - Abu Dawud

Mujeddid

"Foundation and Reform" , this is the period that gave birth to a lot of reforms called mujeddids, some of them were called mahdi.

Mahdi 

Mahdi means one guided by G-d.

Mujeddid makes new take to original

Mujeddid means one who renews, comes to renew, brings it back to its freshness, to its newness, brings something back to its newness, that's Mujeddid. It comes from a word that means to make new "Jeddada" and "Jaddeed", it means like new. Like I say "hadhaal ketabu jadeed" this book is new.

And Mujeddid comes from that word, it means to make it new, but not new like you make something over or you make something for the first time, it means he's able to go back and find its original newness, its original freshness and purity.

He's able to get back to it exactly as it was in the beginning, so he brings the newness out, he brings it as it was when it was given new to the people. He brings that newness out after it was lost, that is what a Mujedid is. So a new Al Islam is not a foreign Al Islam, a new Al Islam is the true Al Islam that Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) taught, that is the real new, that is the real true Al Islam and the New Al Islam.


Colonization Of Muslim Lands

The next chapter is ''European Colonialism", now I'm sure most of you understand European colonialism but I know some of you don't. European Colonialism refers to Europeans victories over Muslims in Muslim lands. They defeated Muslims in war most likely and they became the master in the Muslim land over the Muslims and they changed the government and brought about government that pleased them. And those new governments formed by European or created by Europeans on Muslim lands are called colonial states or colonial governments, but they are not colonial governments, they're called colonial states. Practically all the Muslims lands were colonized like that.


Muslim Rulers Manipulated By Previous Ruler 

It was only about 1940, the mid forties or 1947 maybe 1946 or 1947 was the first time for any Muslims to get independence, getting their country and their life back into their own hands. We have to understand that even after the colonial powers left their lands and withdrew, many of them made contracts with the king or with the sultans or with the persons that they felt comfortable with being the ruler after they left out. See they left out and they had to be comfortable that whoever is going to be ruling this land we are comfortable with them.

So all the time they were not successful in choosing their man, but most of the time they were. Those that they left behind were instructed to follow in certain way, anytime they did not. They had enough power not only through that individual, but through others in his cabinet etc and through businessmen they had power and influence. So they had a lot of power and influence, even through the system of education that they had established, they had a lot of power and influence.

So anytime their puppet, I hate to use this language but this is the language in political book, anytime their puppet didn't do their biddings, they could unseat him right away. So they were able to keep the rule over Muslims lands and other lands too, but we're talking about Muslim lands now, for centuries, for a long time. But they had made a contract with, most of them, they had made a contract with the existing ruler who was also put in their place by them. They helped them, they couldn't have gotten in their position if it was not for the European power, the colonizers.

They made a contract, that at such and such time in the future we will turn this back over to you and they figured by that time they will have stripped the land, they would have gotten everything they wanted out of there, everything they wanted out of there they would have gotten it. But it didn't turn out that way, when time come for those states to be freed, much wealth was still in those lands, so it wasn't easy for them to give up, but they did, they had to give up. Those who were honorable, they gave up, but many countries had to go to war with them and a lot of bloody wars were fought for 50yr, 70 yrs, 100 yrs or more. They had to lose a lot. I do not know of any Muslim states that are colonies as far as my knowledge goes, as I understand. All Muslim states are independent states now, they are not colonized, they are not under another ruler or a foreign power, to my knowledge.


Human Mind Created For Light For Freedom 

The clearer you see the world, the freer you are,     G-d created the human mind and soul to have light all around instead of darkness all around, that's no freedom.
He goes from this chapter of "European colonialism" and "Emergence of modern Muslim" that I briefly commented on, to the next chapter "The Globalization of Islam" and that's the situation now, presently, that's why I chose to bring this book out. Something I wanted to bring to your attention is that we should not just take any book for granted, especially if its written by a non-Muslim or a non-Muslim was in charge of the project. We should not take those publications for granted we should be skeptical, we
should be slow to believe what we are reading in those publications.

The other reason 1 had was to bring your attention to one particular chapter and the topics taken here, I thought they would be good for me to comment on since this is the first lesson in this Ramadan session.

The chapter "Globalization of Islam" as I said, this is were we are not. We are struggling to bring peace to the global Muslims that is where we are now. And every other people of the Book, Christian and Jews and even some others that are outside of the Book, if they are really civilized and have civilization, there is continuity for their civilized life, they have a civilization that has survived the great wars the great set backs for humanity etc., believe me they have the knowledge of how to survive on this earth. And those people too are now in this activity of thinking on the whole globe and how to globalize their life, the life that they choose for themselves. If you choose a life for yourself you want that life and now is the time you have to globalize that life because if you don't, children may not have it after a couple of hundred years or less, they may not have it. Because the world is being taken over now, not by people who do not have a global plan for their life, but by people who have a global plan for their life.


New World Order

When our leaders over here in this country talk about the new world order they are speaking from that interest that we have to globalize our life.   And we are in the lead, so if we globalize our life we will also determine what the global order is going to be, the new world order. And the West as you know is in a much better position to change this world for their interest than any other power is to change this world for its interest, we know that.


Muslims Reaction To Western Powers Is Problematic

The Muslims are in a pitiful condition and what makes them so pitiful? They are reacting to Western powers achievements and rule, they're reacting to that. They are so caught up in studying what the West has done and how the West has been maneuvering and what are its intentions now of the West and their plan for the future.

They are so caught up into that, that they can't really do the number one job and that's revive the Ummah so that the Ummah will be strong and safe with G-d. If they got that back they will be in a position to heal themselves and make great advances even against the stronger competitors who are strong in knowledge, science, technology, wealth etc.

Faith Can Move Mountains I.E. Governments 

Q.3.193; We heard one calling to faith

"Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (us) to faith ' Believe ye in the Lord' and we have believed. Our Lord! forgive us our sins blot out from us our iniquities and take to thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.

Matthew 17.20; Faith Mustard Seed Move Mountain

" And Jesus said unto them. Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Muhammad (pbuh) was not strong in any of those things or in any of those respects, he was weak there, Muhammad (pbuh) only had faith. And that's why it is said of him u we heard a caller in the land, that's the beginning of his mission, the witnesses said "we have heard", this is in Quran as you know, "we have heard a witness, a call in the land, calling the people to faith. And we have responded or replied, saying we believe", right? So that's the beginning of Al Islam its the beginning of a movement of people of faith. And the faith was so powerful, you know it had been said before 570 yrs or more ago before Muhammad (pbuh) " faith can move mountains".


Move Mountain Means Move Governments

That is exactly what Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers did, they moved powerful governments. And they were not skilled in warfare no indeed, Khalid ibn Waleed may 
G-d be pleased with him, he is the only one that is noted as the person who had previous experience and skills in warfare. But most of the companions, the Prophet (pbuh) and the followers they had no experience in warfare except primitive warfare, but he managed to build a following of faithful people and G-d was his Guide or as that movie I saw often refer to it when I think about my own life and how I'm making it.

It was a movie with John Wayne and I can't recall it was a long time ago and John Wayne was successful in the mission as a pilot and in the movie - oh the movie was named "My co-pilot".   So he had G-d as his co-pilot.

Muhammad (pbuh) was responsible for the success of war, it was on him more than anybody else and he was the main chief general of the war, of the army of the Muslims but Allah (swt) was his co-pilot that's for sure, he was not alone. Allah (swt) was his co-pilot you see?

So Allah (swt) was the General over the general and guiding the general Muhammad (pbuh) the General, unseen. They didn't see him they just saw Muhammad (pbuh) but Allah (swt)  was the unseen General guiding Muhammad (pbuh) the general who had no training in warfare, he wasn't trained for that, he was just an ordinary common person but he went, against empires and defeated them, very few was not defeated.

As you know the time when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) died Al Islam had gone into Africa, Persia it was called Iran now and Persia wasn't no easy empire, it was no push over just like it isn't a push over now. And Al Islam had gone all the way into Europe, the message had even reached Europe, parts of Europe in the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). And after this passing away through centuries you know, it went into the Far east, four or five hundred years later, went into Asia and became very strong. That's why they have such a big population of Muslims in Asia, India, Pakistan and many other countries, Indonesia and many other, Asian became very numerous Muslim.

This picture of the world is what we need, before and now. We still the have the great presence of Muslims numbers, we're still very big in numbers, we haven't lost numbers. In fact we've gained in our number ratio to other Religions or other groups of people, we have gained, made great big gains, but in our ability to govern our society we have not gained, we have fallen way behind and the non Muslims especially the Christian West have gone far ahead of us.

And after "Globalization of Islam" he mentions the turn of Muslims to the West and you know what that is don't you? That is us, because they did not return to the West until we start rising in the West, we had that Allahu Akbar.


Contemporary Islam Means Ritualism, Mysticism

The last chapter is called "Contemporary Islam", and we should hold it in contempt, this contemporary Islam. They are talking about this new brand, new form of Islam, you know, where you do your own thing, the orientalist influence in Islam and all these Sufi, this is the new Islam. They are promoting that, they want to promote mysticism and ritualism, they want to promote mysticism and ritualism so we lose the true content of Al Islam, so be careful.


Fast Break On Time

Let's go back to that chapter I want to comment on, we have to watch the time too, we got to break fast on time, this is very important let me tell you this, very important.   I'm telling you this because my experience tells me that most of you are not conscious of what I'm going to give you now, you're not aware, you are not bad you just are not aware. I thought all of you all were, but I was so desperate to see us right and now you all just were not responding and never could hear and get back after I talk and get back and talk about how heavy it was and how deep it was and how many migraine headaches you had. And it wasn't affecting me that way I said I said "what's wrong with these people I never had to have any migraine pill or anything, I don't take aspirins man and G-d knows that, haven't taken aspirins in many, many years. I'll tell you how long its been since I took aspirin I can tell you, you separate about 16 or 17 yrs from my age and that's how long its been; I was about 16 or 17 yrs old when took my last aspirin and I use to have very bad headaches.

My sister used to have very bad headaches too, my oldest sister Ethyl and let us pray for her, she's not in good condition right now so we ask Allah (swt) to give her healing and restore her to her strong and healthy condition Ameen. She use to take aspirins all the time she use to send me to the store to get her aspirins and after a while I remember when aspirin came out, its not Bayer, it's the one that came out that they say is not true aspirin, not Tylenol the one before that, Anacin, yes Anacin tablets.

So she thought she's a little better off with the Anacin she's was just taking a lot of Anacins all the time, everyday. So I got headaches, she got headaches, so 1 thought about her, I said "she isn't getting better and taking more of these aspirins than I am". So I, as son the heroine addicts said that followed the Hon. Elijah Muhammad they said they "quit cold turkey" that's v did. I quit cold turkey, I said to myself" I didn't care my head hurt I'm not going to take the take aspirin and I didn't.

Over the years I found out what was mainly causing i headaches, now I can't recommend this to you all, everybody is different, you know each individual is different. And what was causing my headaches was not enough water, not drinking near enough water.   Not drinking near enough water and eating stuff like salt and too much oil, too much grease.

So I started cutting it out, no more headaches, headaches went away. That's the truth, I don't have any, it scares me a little bit I haven't had a headache in over 50 yrs it scares me a little bit, well almost 50 yrs. If I get a headache might call on you all "say hey man I got a headache one of you rush down here and take me to a clinic", en sha Allah I'll be alright because I don't have any feeling my head is going to have a headache.

Tree Good, Evil Means How To Rule Good And Bad People 

 Q.20.120; Tree Knowledge Of Good And Evil

"But Satan whispered evil to him: he said "O Adam! shall I lead thee to Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?"

Genesis 2.9;   Tree knowledge of good and evil " 

And out of the ground made the Lord G-d to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

Fruit of tree of knowledge, now what does this suggest? This suggests that Al Islam, the Muslim world committed sin, that the Islamic societies are the ones that committed the sin and they ate from fruit of knowledge. They don't complete it but there it is, you don't stop to say "oh they didn't say "from fruit of the knowledge of good and evil", because that is the forbidden fruit, that's the forbidden tree and its fruit is forbidden in the Bible. The fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. But if they just say "the fruit of knowledge, the tree of the fruit of knowledge", there is only one mentioned to my knowledge in the Bible and that is "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil".


Knowledge Good, Evil How To Rule Good, Use Evil

Believe me the Muslims never ate from that tree not as Muslims, but I want to tell you the West has eaten from that tree, they have fed mainly from that tree. And I won't blame it on Christianity though, I can't say its Christians, I don't think Christians started this, I know they didn't. Christians protested it, the church protested it.   But they are the ones who have eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The one who eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil wants to know how to rule the people who are good and how to use the people who are evil. How to rule one and how to use the other and that is the Satan, Satan is behind that, the devil himself, the chief devil, the Satan, Shaytan, he is the one behind that.


Left Hand (unconsciousness)

Ib majah 4p.433#3266-68; Satan eats with left hand

Abu Huraira reported the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Anyone of you should eat with his right hand and drink with his right hand, take with his right hand and give with his right hand. For the Satan eats with his left hand, drinks with his left hand and takes with his left hand."

That's why when Prophet (pbuh) said this, he said in a few words what I'm telling you, he said "The Satan eats with his left hand so don't you eat with left hand, you eat from your right hand". This is teachings of the Prophet (pbuh) to us, the Satan eats with his left hand. So what is the left hand? The left hand is unconscious action, now it may have a little consciousness at times but only because the right hand is asking of it to join it in a work. If the right hand asks the left hand to join it in a work and the left hand is used, the left hand becomes conscious too, consciously working with the right hand doing the work.

But after the work is done the left hand goes back to its sleep, it's rest and whatever it does it does it in sleep, like sleep walking and stuff, just automatically without thinking; although the right hand acts automatically too.

The right hand works with your conscience to write letters or to do whatever you have to do. The right hand works with your conscience and the left hand comes to support your right hand when necessary, okay.

Q. 7.12; Iblis Refuse To Bow You Made Me Fire Him Mud

"(Allah) said: "what prevented thee from bowing down when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: thou did. create me from fire and him from clay."

So this (left) is the hand that acts without thinking and that's the devil, the Shaytan. The Shaytan 'acts without thinking but, not without thinking perse, I mean not without thinking generally but without thinking perse. It act without thinking on what G-d approves and what G-d disapproves.

So it is unconscious of obedience to G-d, that is the Shaytan the Satan especially when its seeking its own interest. It is seeking its interest, it has no room for any respect for Scripture or G-d or anything like that, that's the Satan. When the Satan1 s interest was hurt or being blocked, the Satan rejected the creation of man in defense of his own interests. So if the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the tree of how to use good and evil for your own benefit, for you own selfish gain, to gain power and authority over man, that is the Satan is the one that bid the man "eat of that tree", Adam, he bid him "eat of this tree" and Allah (swt) says "and the man and his wife ate of the tree in our Holy Book Quran.

Q.7.27; Satan Caused Parent To Remove Garments

"O ye children of Adam! let not Satan seduce you in the same manner as he got your parents out of the garden stripping them of their raiment to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith."


Lose Soul Lose Self 

Q. 6.12; Lose soul

"Say: "To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To Allah. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy that He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls that will not believe.

Genesis 2.17; Eat tree of good and evil you die

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it: for in the day that thou eat thereof thou shalt surely die."

Matt 16.26; Gain world but lose soul

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And Allah (swt) says referring to that act and that event Allah (swt) says "And it was the Satan who caused you parents to come out of the original garment that they were in." And Allah (swt) lets us know what that garment was, He said the garments of righteousness. So to become unaffected by the moral issues and be only affected by real gain that is how devil speaks.

He will say the real the gain, he means the gain for this        — world.   And that's why the Gospel says "what has a man achieved, what has he gained if he gets this whole world but loses his own soul.


Soul Is Yourself Identity

He has gained nothing he has lost everything, why'7 Because our soul, that is us, so if you lose your soul, you are not yourself any more.   So that's just like accepting to die eternally, isn't it? If you lose your own self or your soul that is accepting to be dead to your own self eternally.


Earth Made For Soul Development

So what does a man gain, I repeat the language, what does a man gain if he loses his own soul for this world? He gains nothing he loses everything. Because this world was made for my own soul to know and appreciate and enjoy. This world was not made for my soul to follow something that is against my own soul, it was not made for that, no.


Sell Soul For Certain Job Positions 

You cannot work in certain government positions and in certain industrial positions, you cannot be employed in big interest, government or private unless you are ready to sell your soul, not all the time, but sometimes in certain situations. You cannot have it unless you're ready to sell your own soul. And I'm not saying those are devils, but they are going with the devil but they are following the plans of Satan. They may not be Satan but they're following the plan of Satan, the way of Satan, the rule of Satan and the way of Satan.


Knowledge Intended For Man's Intellect 

Q. 20.114; My Lord increase me in knowledge

"High above all is Allah the King the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed but say "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."

Knowledge itself, this is all very important believe me I don't talk to you about anything unless it is very important, the knowledge itself was put here for us, G-d created us for knowledge and in the Quran He gives us the model, pious people as our model for us to look at, and emulate.

He gives us these models and one phrase it says "my Lord increase me in knowledge". So Allah (swt) is telling us we are suppose to pray to Him for an increase in knowledge, so knowledge is not the forbidden tree, knowledge is for us, created for us, He created the world of knowledge for us, the universe of knowledge for us, created it for us. So we are to seek knowledge and we are to seek Him for direction in the knowledge, in the search for knowledge and we are to seek Him for knowledge "Zidne Ilman" which means "maybe I don't know", there's a knowledge that I need to assist me, that I need that will really help me G-d, but maybe I don't know that knowledge, I'm busy here.


Pray For What You Can't Do Not For What You Can Do 

So I pray, you pray for what you cannot do, you don't pray when you got good legs, you're a marathon runner, you don't pray to G-d: "G-d make me a good runner". You are already a marathon runner, what are you praying to G-d to make you a good runner for? "Oh G-d give me physical health" and you're the healthiest thing in the neighborhood, what are you praying for physical health for? Maybe if you think you're going to lose it "oh G-d please don't let me lose my good physical health" that would be sensible prayer.

You pray for what you cannot get for yourself, you pray for what you can not manage yourself. Don't be asking Allah (swt) for some money, Allah (swt) made you to get money, you go on and get some money man and don't break any laws, don't ask Allah (swt) for money. But once you get it say "oh Allah (swt) please don't let me lose my money", that will be okay, "oh Allah (swt) help me invest it wisely", that's the way to pray. Are you going to pray for sandwiches? That's a shame, Allah (swt) made you to get your food just like He made an ant to get his food, made the bird to get his food, made all the animals to get their food. Now how do you think He feels about you and He made you superior to all those animals in mind, in every way?

He made you superior to all of those animals, now how do you think G-d would feel, you asking G-d for some food.

Say "look everything I created out there is getting its food, those dumb animals out there all around you getting their food, what is wrong with you?" Now maybe G-d wouldn't speak like that, maybe G-d just wouldn't respond, but those angels close to Him would say, " G-d our Lord, what in the hell is wrong with these dumb Negroes?" See the angels got the old name for you, they didn't get the new one yet, say " G-d our Lord, what is wrong with these dumb Negroes?" Say "they keep asking for food and the animals, rats and roaches, dogs and everything out there, wild dogs are not cared for and they are eating everyday".

So we want to stop asking for things that make us look foolish, make us look ridiculous, don't ask for those things but pray for mercy, pray for forgiveness, pray for increase in right knowledge, pray for strong moral life, but don't ask for the things that the animals can manage and you are the human being, you are far above them.


Sex, Activity Increase

Some say, "Oh I wish I had me a sister, I need some sex", you don't pray for that. Take a good bath and perfume down, get a job and you will get more sex than you want. And that the prescription for both sexes. Just with a little explanation, you (sister) get a bath and perfume down and accept your job as a wife and as a mother and you will get all the sex you want.

Oh My genes are feeling the sun going down, they are acting like unruly children in my body, "oh soup, its almost time (to break the fasting), about 14 minutes, 12 more minutes."

Q. 57.21; Garden width of heavens and earth

"Be ye foremost (in seeking) forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden (of Bliss) the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth prepared for those who believe in Allah and His apostles: that is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases: and Allah is the Lord of Grace abounding."


MAS Created To Serve Universal Concerns Under G-D 

Let me conclude this portion and what we have done is just to try to get a picture of world and to make it clear to us that Al Islam is a global message and our work is a global work. And we have now reached the time in the evolution of political society that it is really our time, this is our time more than it is anybody else's time. Because this is what Allah (swt) invites us to, see the whole globe, the whole universal, that we are universal people, He created us for the universe and we have to prove that we are servants of His, for the betterment of the universe. Say "how are we going to improve the universe?" Now see he is not talking about he earth now, I'm heavy, right? He's not talking about the earth now, that's heavy?" That isn't heavy, you just need some rational sense and need to follow a course.

The present civilization that is leading all other civilizations is the Christian West and the Christian West is studying the universe, investigating the universe and the conscious people educated in this new West, in this great society they are studying the effect of man on the environment. And not only on the environment, on the ozone, way up there. So aren't they doing what we were invited to do? Allah (swt) said to us that He will give us a garden, the space thereof we be as the space of the skies and the earth.


West G-d Won't Punish Because Follow Command 

Now our learned thinkers, they should be teaching their masses, way before the West started this interest that we are here on earth but our intellectual interest does not stop here, it goes as far as it can go in the universe and its seeking utility to make human life better.     They should have done that, but it was the West who took up our mission and went ahead with it, that's how come G-d won't punish them. "Oh when will this power be destroyed, when is this devil going to be destroyed? Thought it was coming int 1907"?

You'll be here in fifty thousand and seventy and it will still   « be as it is now, people like us, when I say like us, with that  small mind, we'll be wondering what's going to happen and the other people will still be ahead of us just like they are     ^ now, that's right, but we're going to change that, that's why I we're here.


W. D. Mohammed Born When Father Joined Al Islam

I don't think it was just incidental or just Marcus  Garvey's own thinking, his own mind and thinking, I think G-d was speaking through Garvey when Garvey said of us, " that one day, a day will come when we will rise and take our place in the constellations of the heavens". That means with the big boys, with the top boys, we will take our place in the constellations of the heavens. Well that's in my soul, 1 believe I was born with it in my soul, you know my father I told me once, its almost time to break fast about 4 minutes en sha Allah.

My father told me once, he was commenting on some comments that some followers had made praising the way I had been speaking in the Temple. And he said "son you're I different", he didn't tell me this once, he told me this more than once and there are those who heard him say this to me. He said "son you are different", he said " you are different I because when you were formed I was devoted to the teachings of Islam and I was new in it".

See I'm born in 1933, my father became a member of the Nation of Islam in 1931, so that's two years or maybe more before I was born, most likely about 2 yrs before I was born my father had changed his life from being a thinker like the worst of you were, what I mean is the poorest of you, poor in money, drinking whiskey.   He was like that. So now he changed, he didn't follow his father who was a preacher, he rebelled against my grandfather Wali, William Poole, his name was changed to Wali Muhammad. He rebelled against my grandfather and he was not with the church people, he did not go to church with them, he was in the streets. But he was not fool, very wise, very -1 would say intelligent man, later he became a very wise man as we know.

Anyway he said " when you were born son, what was in me went straight into you". That's what he told me I'm not telling you my words, this is what my father told me. And my father rebelled against the Christian thinking that his father gave him, it went right into me, I agree daddy, yes it did. And I hit it hard when I was a young minister, oh I hit them hard and I could hit them, I could punch them out better. If you don't believe it stand up and try to defend Christianity and watch me knock you down, as soon as you get back up you're going to hit the floor again. You got some of those tapes? Oh yes, that expression "bar none" that was me, bar none, I didn't feel any preacher could stand up against me and they would try no they wouldn't try. I had a Jehovah witness spar with me a little bit and I start giving him "some of those Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali punches, then he said "get behind me satan". So I hit him again harder so now you gave me something to hit you harder, with now I said "look, I read your Bible just like you do" I said "your Bible tells you to rebuke satan and he will run from you." Now he's telling me to get on, run, you shouldn't tell me to run, you shouldn't tell me to get behind you, you should rebuke me and make me run. We had a good time.


Iftar Break Fast

Forty Hadith p.64#17; Excellence everything

On authority of Abu Ya'laa Shaddad ibn Aus, the Prophet
said: "Verily Allah has prescribed proficiency in all
things..."

Let me make sure that everybody knows how to break fast, I know you don't. You don't just start eating and you don't say Bismillah and eat although if you don't know, that's enough, that will be accepted, no harm. But once you know then you have to do it correctly. Once I knew how to do it I tried hard and studied hard and practiced hard to do that, that's my nature, all of us should have that, that's the Muslim nature, that's the believer's nature. Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) he said, whenever the believer endeavors to do a thing, seeks to perfect it, to make it best, ok.

So we're suppose to break our fast like this and let us all break it and then we can eat let us break the fast all together, listen to what I say. I'm not going to do it in Arabic I'm doing it in English so you will remember it:

" In Allah (swt) I have believed, on Allah (swt) I put my trust with the food provided by Allah (swt) I break my fast and tomorrow of the month of Ramadan I intend to fast, Ameen."

Ramadan Session
12-16-2000

As Salaam Alaikum Ramadan Mubarak, we see a few have joined us, well not a few a good number have joined us and we were already out of space up here, they say the rooms are filled up to down stairs. So bear with us its better to be like this than to be wondering where your brothers and sisters are, Wa Alaikum As Salaam.


Tapes Will Be Transcribed

Now let me try to make you comfortable those who didn't want to miss anything, the tapes will be transcribed and approved for the students that attend the session only, not for others. Only for those who attend the sessions, if any of you have close friends that you feel perfectly comfortable with, share it privately if you want to with your close friend. But don't circulate it, don't give to somebody you don't know, only somebody you know very well knowing that they will be comfortable with the tape of these sessions. We do not want to disturb anybody and we do not want anybody disturbing us.

You are entitled to these tapes if you attend these sessions. Its possible that I will do some slight editing on the tapes, take out something unnecessary or something that's too much repetition. Or something that I think shouldn't be trusted to anybody except if they're present and hearing, but not taking it with them. There might be something I'm not sure, I feel perfectly comfortable, when I get it back from the brother John Ramadan and I listen to it, there might be something I might say we need to transcribe it because I need to edit it. If that happens its going to be a much longer time before you get it because its going to have to be transcribed and edited and then put in a little publication form very simply done and mailed to you, ok? So that's the situation, alright.


Prophet's Universality

This morning, yesterday we began and we had an introduction and this morning we continued that introduction, we took that introduction right into the first session. And the first session was on, this is for the benefit of those who weren't here yesterday and this morning, the first session was on Al Islam or Islam's Universality and Muhammad the seal of the Prophets or the last Prophet (pbuh), his universality or his picture, not physical picture. His description, you want to describe Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), in his description as the last Prophet or the seal of the Prophets (pbuh) saying to us, what is the message.   We were emphasizing universality and that is to say universality is what is for all people, all places and all times.

We also discussed in that connection the Kabah as the symbol. The Kabah is also our Qiblah I'm not giving things, that we gave in detail, I'm just giving the language quotes that we were addressing. Al Islam and Muhammad the Prophet's (pbuh) universality, the universality of Al Islam.

The Quran as the universal Book and its connection or connections for the Quran and Scriptures that came before, the Torah mainly given to the Jews and the Injeel given to the Christians by Moses and Jesus peace be upon them. This afternoon we're going to be discussing something that was mentioned earlier, we're going to pick it again because we want to deal more with this and this is Al Islam as a universal message and also as a message, guidance or as Maulana Maududi of Pakistan said, he has passed some time years ago peace be upon him may he be in paradise, may Allah (swt) reward him with peace and paradise I shouldn't say it like that, he said "Al Islam is an ideology for the reform of the world for global reform.

So we want to know Al Islam as a message from G-d through Muhammad the Messenger (pbuh) he delivered us that message, we want to know it as an ideology quoting the late Maulana Maududi or as a message intended for the reformation of the whole world, to reform this world that we know of.

Let me tell you something, nothing has reformed this world, this human community on this earth more so than the Quran and Muhammad (pbuh) the teacher and leader of this world. We don't understand that but we know, scholars do understand that Muhammad (pbuh) is the teacher and leader of this world. This world has no leader over Muhammad (pbuh), no leader that has helped this more than Muhammad (pbuh). And it has no teaching that has helped it more than the teachings of the Quran, this world I'm talking about the Western world. Now I don't say anything to others like you I may say it to myself and think about it tomorrow and the next day, I don't say anything to people like you or others without thinking about it for long, long time and being convinced thoroughly.    Now you know what thoroughly means, completely, mean completely convinced.

Now, we have mathematics' universality that is in all in all, in this course we are addressing the Word of G-d, the Quran the last Revelation, and Muhammad the last Prophet (pbuh) the seal of the Prophets and these: the Religion, the Quran and Muhammad Prophet (pbuh) contribute to the awakening of the mind, man's life to universals, not to local things, not to local truths, to truths that stand up where ever you are on this earth, in any civilized place and at any time, that's what we are talking about.


Man Purpose, Destiny To Serve G-d 

Q.51.56; Jinn men for worship, serve G-d

I have only created j inns and men that they may serve Me.

Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) was the first to bring Al Islam to the world under that name Al Islam and the first to awaken the people to their purpose on this earth as servants of G-d by virtue of their own creation. If they were created human they were created to be servants of G-d.


Jesus A Sign, Word Of Allah

Q. 4.171; Jesus sign, word of Allah

"O people of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an Apostle of Allah and His
Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit proceeding from Him:"

Jesus Christ peace be on him is a sign of many things as we have said and he's a sign of this what I'm saying now, he's a sign of that, a sign of many things. Most importantly he's a sign of the of the Word of Allah (swt) the Word of G-d, how the Word of G-d has historically been mistreated, appreciated by a few but mistreated by the most.


Muhammad (pbuh), Is The Leader Of The Modern World

Going back to the statement Muhammad (pbuh), is the leader of the modern world, ever since he came into existence he has been the leader. And he's going to be the leader until the world is finished as we know it, he'll be the leader, he's the last Prophet, he's the last leader also.


Muhammad Helped Judaism, Church 

Q.21.107; Muhammad a mercy to all the worlds

We sent thee not but as a mercy for all creatures.

Before Muhammad (pbuh) came the world leaders were receding, they were going down like a setting sun, they weren't rising. And nobody stepped forward to lead mankind forward on this earth until Muhammad (pbuh) came. When he came then they began to see how to take mankind forward. They had their Judaism, they had their Christianity but they had to have Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) to help leaders in Judaism find their groove again so they could go forward.

He had to help the church find its proper groove so it could go forward, there was no Martin Luther reviving Christianity, Christian thought and making Christianity understandable in the hands of the little man and the big man and open up the Christian world for progress. There was no Martin Luther doing that before Al Islam before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came, it was only after Muhammad (pbuh) came that they studied what he did. And he came as Allah (swt) as a mercy to all the worlds.

So they got mercy from him and the best mercy is mercy for your mind, mercy for your thinking, he was mercy for their minds and mercy for their thinking, they were in a mess I hate to put it that way, but they were in a mess. We know they had a few beautiful thinkers, a few beautiful philosophers who were Christian, Christian philosophers, Christian theologians etc., but what were they doing with all that beautiful language and thinking to carry the world of mankind forward?  Women were treated as if they had no souls, if you weren't educated you weren't to be treated as a real human being, you hear what I'm saying? If you weren't educated you weren't to be treated as a real human being, you were to be treated as something that had a human physical body but there was no real human in it; therefore, they could work you like an animal, there was not equal rights, there was no such thing as equal rights. We're talking about the world before Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).

Even though they had Christianity their behavior was the behavior of savages most of the time, how do we know? Because history tells us that, not from Muhammad's (pbuh) side, meaning from the Islamic side, from Muslims, but from their side, from the Christian side. I have read their books of their wars and confrontations with Muslims and I read the Christian author saying, "they learned how to be more civilized from the Muslims that they were fighting", said one of them said. He said, "if the Muslims can take baths and shave and groom themselves and come to the battlefield, we can too".

They were fighting like animals on the battlefield, not caring to clean themselves up, not caring to look clean, they thought they were more in the image of a warrior if the smelled like an animal and behaved like one. That's the bad thing, that's the worst thing, not only smelled like one but they also behaved like one, this is the reality.

And who should be know this more than anybody else? We are the ones, Muslims, we wear the name of the ones who made this world better for everybody, so we should be knowing this more than anybody else. We should be the ones anxious to get this knowledge and as I said you don't have to go to Arabs or Muslims or any of the Muslims for it, you can go to the Western European writers themselves. And not one of them, whoever wrote on that history, they acknowledge that.


Toothbrush Muhammad Insisted Upon 

There was no toothbrush, nobody was brushing their teeth before the Muslims started brushing their teeth under Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). Do you think anybody was brushing their teeth? It was so unknown that when the Muslims were brushing their teeth, this is the history, yes Muslims were hushing their teeth, this is Islamic history, kept, made and preserved by Bukhari and Muslim and others. The Muslims were seen on the battlefield at a distance early in the morning before the battle started brushing their teeth and its said that one of the non-Muslims who was going to fight them alarmed the enemy camp said "we're not going to fight these people, do you see what they're doing? They are sharpening their teeth and they are going to eat us."

So that tells you they knew nothing about the toothbrush and if you want to know whether they brushed their teeth or not get any picture of them back in that time smiling, you'll know they didn't brush their teeth. Buddy their mouths looked something terrible and I am not talking about little man, big rulers mouth looked something terrible. Teeth out, rotten, bad mouths this is a fact, I've seen it, do it yourself, just go back and get a picture book and look at pictures of people in Mediaeval times and time of Muhammad (pbuh) and after, even after before Al Islam reached them and started changing them and before Muhammad (pbuh) look at their mouth, their teeth. If they weren't about 2 or 3 yrs old they had a messed up mouth or were very lucky to have their teeth looking nice. A lot of you see that picture - bad mouth, bad teeth because they didn't care for their teeth, they were living like animals even with Christianity.


Q.34.28; Muhammad Is Enough For All Humanity

We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin) but most men understand not. There is always an exception as it was in the time of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) most of the Arabs on that peninsula Arabia were ignorant idol worshipers, bad manners, ignorant. Bad treatment of their women, bad treatment of each other, ignorant especially if you were of another tribe or something, very ignorant. But even at that time there was Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) he was one of them he wasn't like that he was the best in human nature, form and behavior, he was the best, perfect. That's why Allah (swt) says "KafTaten len nas" he is enough for all humanity for all people. If G-d says he's enough, do you want to be better than Muhammad (pbuh)?   How? I would like to know how, I don't know how to be better than Muhammad (pbuh). I don't know how to be a better father than he, I don't know how to be a better husband than he, I don't know how to be a better teacher than he, I don't know how to be a better ruler than he was, I don't know how to be a better friend than he was, I don't know how, you have to tell me, teach me if you know how to be better than Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), teach me I sure don't know. And G-d says he is enough for all mankind.

Q. 33.21; Muhammad the best model example

Ye have indeed in the Apostle of Allah a beautiful pattern of (conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day and who engages much in the praise of Allah.

G-d says he is a excellent model "Uswatun ahsanatun" most excellent model for any who believes in G-d and the last day, so I don't know anybody. That was the man that G-d chose because he was perfect in his human form before G-d gave him Revelation.


G-d No Son Picks A Servant 

Q.39.4; G-d pick servant from what already made

Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah the One the Irresistible.

G-d picked him and I repeat what I said earlier Allah (swt) says in Quran, whenever He wants a son He picks them from one that He has already created and that's what He did when He picked Muhammad (pbuh). He picked from a human being that He had already created and that human being was excellent just like G-d wanted him to be. He was short of nothing in terms of his human nature and human form. G-d picked him and gave him the message for all the world and he became the seal of the Prophets the last of the Prophets and a mercy to all the worlds, yes.


Jesus Sign Of Muhammad

Jesus is a sign of him, we said this earlier, Jesus Christ and his mother peace be upon them, a sign of Muhammad (pbuh).

Prophet called word of G-d dwelling among men

Al Hadith 3p.410#579; Prophet character is Quran 

Mishkatul Masabih 2p353#1256; Prophet's character the Quran

Sa'ad bin Hisham reported I went to Aisha and asked: Oh mother of the Faithful, inform me about the conduct of the Prophet of Allah (pbuh). She asked, "Do you not read the Quran? Yes, replied I. She said "The conduct of the Prophet (pbuh) is the Quran."

John 1.1, 14; Word dwell among men

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with G-d, and the Word was God.

14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Muhammad (pbuh) is called the Word of G-d. So therefore he is in his own personal life, he giving us a performance like an actor on a stage, he's giving us a performance let us view the presence of the Word of G-d among men. In the beginning there was the word and the word took on flesh and dwell among men. Christ Jesus and his mother peace be upon him and his mother.

So here he is a personification of Word of G-d living and active Word of G-d but he's mainly to show the world "look how you mistreated that, that came for your own salvation". So he's mainly performing in that role to show the learned world, not the fools the fools don't know anything, they don't know nothing about this. He's doing this for the leaders, he is trying to awaken the leaders.


End Of Time Of Rule Of Wicked

And understand that every attempt of G-d is to awaken the leaders until you come to Jesus and Muhammad (pbuh) then they are trying to at the same time reach the leaders but at the same time reach the subjects of the leaders, those who are the slaves or victims of the leaders. They are trying to reach both and they come at the end of time, both of them, Prophet Jesus comes at the end of time peace be upon him and his mother and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) comes at the end of time.   Time of what? The Hon. Elijah Muhammad put it this way "the end of the time of the wicked", the rule of the wicked The end of time for the rule of the wicked, they both come at the end of time.

Muhammad (pbuh) is definitely without doubt the leader of the modern world's he is the leader of the modern world not the modern world's foolishness, the modern world's posture as civilized communities. The modern world's posture as a civilized community, Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) is their leader that is for surely the truth backed up by history. We don't need to go to the Quran, sunnah to prove that, go to the history of the world and that can be proven quickly.


Arabic Compared With Roman Numerals

Christian Rome was doing Mathematics I, II, IV, V, we are counting to nine look how long it is taking us, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X that's how long the teacher had to wait for the student count to ten before Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) and the new intellect was born on earth. The intellect fed by the sunlight of al Islam, that intellect came into existence and it began to question everything what was before.   And the great scholars brought us mathematics called Arabic numeral although they try to, the present thinkers and teachers they try to, intellectuals, they try to take that credit from Arabs and they say no the Indians had it before the Arabs. Ail we know the Indians welcomed Al Islam and they too became great scholars after Al Islam, the Indians. And we have Pakistan and we have India and we have many other Asian, far East nations now that are Islamic. Tai Land mostly Muslims many of them in the East.

So Al Islam was not just something that was appreciated by middle eastern, Arabs and those people in the middle east, Africans. It went into far east where people had a very different mind set, very different culture, a very different logic for the way they lived and thought. And it even attracted them to embrace Al Islam and a become Muslim.


Martin Luther

Coming back to West it was Martin Luther who differed with the Catholic church and brought in a new thinking, introduced a new way of looking at Scripture and a new way of looking at Scripture's plan for the rise of its followers.

So after Martin Luther with his eye openers there formed a public that eventually became a secular public, the public we have now, secular public separated from church or Religious people, not under authority of the church. Eventually there came a secular authority and a secular society because of Martin Luther's insight and teachings that began to work for the dignity of men.

Human beings as a human being was not respected before, no such thing as human rights, if you said something like that your head would be cut off so fast or you would be put in a dungeon so fast, "oh they're trying to free the beast, that's what they called the average human being, beast. I'm talking about the leaders in the Western world except for those few.

Hunafaa Upright People Without Religious Community

I mentioned even in Arabia as ignorant and as savage and backwards as it was, there was Muhammad who was not like that. There was his friends who were not like that and some writers say that these people before Al Islam were called "Hunafaa" . And when Allah (swt) referred to people by that name He was referring to them, He was referring to Abraham directly but also to Muhammad (pbuh) and to his friends and to many others although they represented a small percentage of the population of the Arabs who didn't believe in idols, didn't worship idols and who had excellent human character and manners before Al Islam came.

They rejected the way of the world on the strength of what they believed about the excellence of their human person and they didn't even refer to themselves as human, just the person the man, the excellence of the creation of man or the make of man. They didn't even think about man as a creation in fact before Al Islam came to them, Al Islam had to tell the Arabs that man was created by G-d, they didn't know that, that wasn't their thinking. But they believed that this body and this being is superior to animals therefore you behavior should be superior to animal behavior, they just followed a logic, they followed good, rational, human common sense logic. And their conclusion was that they should present the best of themselves always and not the worst of themselves.

Q. 17.70; Adam's children honorable

We have honored the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favors above a great part of Our Creation.

So that's proof wasn't it? That was proof that the man that G-d created, the human that G-d created was created in excellence, was created in great form, was excellent inherently. When G-d says "Qad karmna kulle bani Adam" certainly we made honorable every child of Adam or every son of Adam. When G-d says that you who are on the college level, you should know that G-d is saying that every human person is inherently honorable, that's what G-d is saying.

Now if you are a fifth grader and you didn't get any more education and you haven't tried to study on your own, then I don't expect for you to come up with that conclusion. But any of you in second grade college and above, when you hear that expression you should come to the conclusion that G-d is saying that we are honorable by virtue our own constitution and creation or our make. Made superior to animals and other creatures. And that none of us are different in the original constitution of ourselves, how we are originally made. We don't even have to bring G-d into the picture, as to how we were originally made. The earth made us, the sun made us whatever made us.

In our original constitution we are superior to all those other creatures and we are not inferior to any other in our original constitution, no. In no wise are we inferior to any other human being in our original constitution. We have a brain, same human brain that all others have. We have eyes, we have these human faculties that enable us to perform intelligently and morally and justly etc., all of us are equipped that way, that's why when they opened up an opportunity blacks prove themselves just as capable of fulfilling those positions as whites did (we excelled).   Look at Colin Powell we didn't know we had a general like that, back there when they said you couldn't rise that high. But they gave him opportunity and the man became chief of staff, Colin Powell a black man, African American.   And now he's being appointed by the president, our new president, George Bush junior or the second, he's George Bush's, I'm not talking about his political profession or career he had, I'm talking about his blood relationship. So he is George Bush junior son of a great man that came before him George Bush Sr.

So George Bush Jr. has appointed an African American soldier, military man the great general Colin Powell to the position of secretary of state. Now if he was really smart he would have said "since my image is so messed up I think we should force Colin Powell to accept the presidency", as vice president.

But we thank him for the secretary of state and we love him for that.


Ownership Land Obligation

Q. 87.1-3; Celebrate Lord Who created gave equality

1. Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High
2.  Who hath created and further given order and proportion;
3.  Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

Q. 7.128; Land ownership for righteous "Said Moses to his people: "Pray for help from Allah and (wait) in patience and constancy: for the earth is Allah's to give as a heritage to such of his servants as He pleaseth; and the end is (best) for the righteous.

Luke 2.49; Jesus about father's business " And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?"

So we all are created equal have the same essence and that's in the constitution of these United States, "we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights some say unalienable right, means rights that can't be taken away from you because they are yours by virtue of your own creation. They belong to you as a created thing or as a made thing, they belong to you. Endowed with inalienable rights and among these life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, right? Endowed by their Creator recognizing G-d also, that's a very important to know. Endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights and among these life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

So you have equal essence that's what the constitution is saying and that's what the Quran said centuries before the constitution of the United States thousand of years before the United States, one thousand years about before the United States. The Quran, G-d's word in Quran was saying that you have inalienable rights given to by your creation, by your Creator, by virtue of your creation you have these inalienable rights.

The founding fathers elaborated on that "among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness now look at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we have a judge here who can help us if we need help for this language of the constitution of the United States, the Hon. Judge David Shaheed is here; we thank Allah (swt) for him in our presence all the time. Listen now, look life, liberty you not only have the right to have your life, but you have the right to have your life free to be educated and to get the benefits that all other citizens get   in the society or in the nation, that's what its saying. The interpretation is the right to have property, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The interpretation is the right to have property and we know a man without the ownership of anything can't be happy not if he's a true man, how can you be happy and you own nothing. You don't even own yourself, you don't own your own clothes, you don't own your own house, you don't own your own a animal to ride on or a horse to ride around on, you don't own your own a tool to work with, you own nothing, how can you be happy?


G-d gave Man Right To Land Before Nations Were Formed

But they are talking about something a little above tools, the right to own property, that means land, have some land of your own to do what you want with it

To develop it, crops, minerals, forestry, whatever, the right to develop it, housing projects, whatever. Now that's what founding fathers said that we have that right given to us by our G-d, that no nation gave us that right, now isn't that a fact of history, they were studying history too. Before any nation was known, man was free to own land and to work land, live off of the land and to do whatever he could to develop that land before any modern civilization or nations were known.

So they are basing it upon the reality, that G-d made people like that and they had this before we formed these governments, these governments have no right to take that away from the man. Every man is born to have this freedom, this liberty, this life and this right to own land and have property but obviously they lost that didn't they? Because this came late in the history of Christian church so obviously they never saw it or they lost it.

And as I said it was Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) the great universal teacher, the mercy to all people, all nations, all worlds, it was Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) and his life and his works with the Quran, the Word of G-d, the last Revelation that awakened this again in hearts and intellects of the best of the people.

And because of that Martin Luther was able to see the backwardness of the church society and their leaders and opened the door to light so that church leaders and the church society come out of darkness and ignorance and slavery into freedom, sciences, democracy, yes democracy.


Democracy Came After Al Islam 

Education Right Only After Quran Came 

Q. 96.1; Read with the name of your Lord

"Proclaim! (or Read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher Who created

There was no democracy for Christian world before Al Islam, no democracy, kingdoms, dictators, rulers the best of them seeing the common person as an image of a human but in reality an animal, not a human being that's what justified them not to give public education, not to educate the common people, they had not right to be educated before Al Islam. Not to educate the common people and not to give the woman equal respect before the court with the man, they didn't do that, all that came with Al Islam.

So don't think when Allah (swt) says of Muhammad (pbuh) in the Quran that he is a mercy to all the worlds that, that's in your estimation, "oh yes he is a mercy to all the worlds, this Religion is beautiful, it is merciful. Our Prophet (pbuh) is a mercy to everybody, you have to know the condition that the world was in and you have to know how the presence of Al Islam taught by the first teacher Muhammad (pbuh) effected this world to make it change and to get better. You have to know how it awakened the human intellect to appreciate the universe as the place for the exploration for human discoveries and studies and discoveries.

Q. 30.9; Earth travel see those who were superior to you

"Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their apostles with Clear (Signs) (which they rejected to their own destruction): it was not Allah Who wronged them but they wronged their own souls."

It was the Quran that said "travel throughout the world and see how G-d repeats creation, so study old ancient creation and see how He repeated civilization or creation. It was that message from Al Islam that reached them to make them want to go and start research, search the world search history, dig in the earth see can they find signs of nations that existed that were buried before. Because the Quran says there were others greater than you and they lost, they tumbled down, they disappeared as though they never existed here before.     Told them to go out and search for it, travel, Al Islam is the one that signaled the intellect to get back into its intellectual life.

The brain was made to have a brain life, an intellectual life, it was dead and it was Al Islam and the leader Muhammad (pbuh) that signaled the brain and the human intellect to wake up to your great responsibility that G-d created you for. And carry out your responsibility so that you can have a beautiful, created you for a beautiful, productive and beautiful life, Al Islam did that.


Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Lead The Founding Fathers

So I go back to what I said we can prove and I have some other scholars I know in the Islamic world, they take this position and they are beautiful people.

We could get on television and we will challenge anybody to prove that we are speaking the truth according to history that Muhammad (pbuh) is leader of modern world. Not the founding fathers, he lead them. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) lead the founding fathers. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is leading the leaders of United States right now, they can't find a better man.

His logic is finally, gradually as time passes, it is his logic that's being accepted by the modern world leaders and the United States is in the forefront following the great logic of the great universal leader Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).

Oh that's too much to talk about, we would be all night talking about that, yes because there's so much in history that I can show you that if they had followed Muhammad's (pbuh) logic could have saved a lot of suffering a lot of embarrassment to the nations if they had just followed Muhammad's (pbuh) logic.


Civil War If Follow Muhammad Could Have Prevented

I have to tell you this, if they had followed Muhammad's (pbuh) logic to better our condition as slaves they could have avoided a civil war. Racism wouldn't have had to be created racism wouldn't have had an opportunity to present itself, no. If they had studied him carefully and followed Muhammad's (pbuh) logic for civilization, for nations, for rulers, for people etc.

I know this and I guarantee you they know it now, they didn't know it before, but they know it now. A French writer wrote book on men who made the greatest contribution and out of all of them Moses and Jesus Christ included peace be upon them, he picked Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). He's not a Muslim but he picked Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) based on the truth of history, he based his position upon the truth of history, wasn't any guess work or spookism .   He based his choice upon history and no man, no other man every achieved in such a short span of time what that man achieved.

Now he couldn't tell it all because he would shake up the order of the world if he had told it all, he didn't want to do that, but I'm sure he wanted them to say "hey we are ignorant and working against our ownselves if we don't recognize this man." And I believe he had it in his heart hopes that great leaders among them would study Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) after his book, would study him again, look at him again and study him again to see what else he has done and what else he offers the world, what else he has done for the world, and what else he offers the world. Not of himself anything, you know that only because of the Revelation of G-d to him, because he himself was unlearned, was not the son of the learned people, he was not the son of scholars or teachers. He had no friends who were such men, scholars and teachers, he was not privy to any help from the great learned minds, no Rabbi, nobody. That's in fulfillment of Scripture and Jesus is a sign of it.


Jesus A Sign

Should I quickly comment on this or should I go to something else? I think you are Jesus people and I should comment on this. Your parents and parents before you since the beginning of time in slavery the first time they embraced the Religion on these shores, on this continent they became Christians. So Christ is in your background, Christ is in your past life, unconsciously if not consciously and that's why you want me to tell you more about your Christ, peace be upon him, yes.


Jesus Sign Born In Educated Society Not Taught Him

Christ Jesus is a sign, he's a sign of this. Christ Jesus was born in a society that was educated in the Scriptures but he was not taught by them, he was just like Muhammad (pbuh) only Muhammad (pbuh) born in an ignorant society and had no teacher. Jesus Christ was born in a conscious learned society but was not taught by them, G-d protected him from their influence while he's being created in the womb of his mother, peace be upon him and his mother.

Q. 3.47; Mary no man touched me

" She said: "O my Lord! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth; when He hath decreed a plan He but saith to it 'Be' and it is!

Luke 2.7; Jesus laid in manger

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. We're told that no man touched his mother, listen, no man touched his mother, he was not the child of any man, listen. Now, that's why mother, when he was delivered from his mother, no body would accept Mary and her child, peace be upon them. She had to go to strangers to have a place for him and the strangers closed the doors of civilization against her and her child and she had to take her child to a manger, a place for animals to be cared for in not humans.

(Comment from a man in the audience) I don't hear you, what you say? Yeah we were homies and wasn't at home, we were in Sandstone, Minnesota correctional facility, that's where we got acquainted with each other and we haven't parted from each other. Walk right into this great world of Al Islam from prison, both of us, praise be to Allah (swt).

He used to share his Quran with me, I didn't have one, they wouldn't let me have a Quran in prison, but they let the Ahmaddiyyah's have one. He was an Ahmaddiyyah at the time or a student of Ahmaddism at the time. And he shared his Quran with me, we use to sit on the baseball stand, the bleachers for those   watching the baseball game. And we sit on there and we read Quran together, oh we were in ecstasy while locked up in prison, is that not right my brother? Oh we enjoyed moments like we were in heaven but we were locked up. And what did that? Al Islam, yes, praise be to Allah.

It is going to be time (to break fast), we got time, okay we got some time but we go to watch it now. I didn't tell you this yesterday and I came to the point and stopped, I have to tell you this, fasting is obedience to Allah (swt) I told you that, but I didn't carry it to the conclusion. You don't break fast on your time you break fast at a time Allah (swt) says break time as taught by Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) to us. If the sun sets at 4.21 p.m. today or 4.20 p.m. today you should just wait a minute or two because their calculations are not always perfect. So just wait a minute or two and I guarantee you if you wait two minutes the sun is set. This modern science is pretty exact in fact you wait one minute, but I say lets wait two minutes just to make it comfortable for us. If they say it sets at 4.20 p.m or 4.21 p.m. let us wait two minutes and then obey Allah (swt) break our fast right away.

We don't carry on this - "we enjoying this now, we don't want to break our fast? No its not your business, this is G-d's business, you obey G-d, right, alright. That's my way and my family will tell you that, the ones who live with me will tell you, in fact Rafa he lives with me a lot. Brother John lives with me a lot, they know my way. I'm telling you nothing but what I do and I'm hurt when I can't do that, I say "hey what happened, we've gone over the time of the fast?" Shouldn't do that, ok, so somebody has to be watching that watch, we got about ten minutes or maybe a couple of minutes over, yes where was I now?

Now here is her son and there's no place to take him everybody reject him, the world rejected him, he has to go into a manger, has to be taken into a manger. So she takes her child into the manger and that's where she nurse and cares for her child until Allah (swt) provides better for her, alright.

Luke 2.42-46: Jesus taught 12 yrs old

"And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. [46] And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

Q. 19.29-30: Jesus spoke vet in cradle

29.  But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"
30.  He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

Now when he was a boy, not a little boy but when he was a boy, not a man, he was seen in public questioning the order of the day. And Allah (swt) says in Quran in the Quran it said of him "and he spoke while he was yet in the cradle. And his mother before he was delivered was put in the charge of Zachariah peace be upon them to help his mother, to care for his mother, give the mother what she needed, provisions. And it is said in Quran and also its in the Bible if you understand it, every time Zachariah would go in to see what she needed he found her needing nothing.

Zachariah was a teacher, a Prophet he could teach her, he could help her, he knew what G-d wanted, but he was kept out of the business. Every time he came to see if she needed, nothing she needs nothing, she's provided for.

John 1.46; Can any good come out of Nazareth

" And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Then he gets up now and he begins as a man, he starts to preach to the people, tell the people the way of G-d, what is G-d's Will and way. And they said of him "who is this man coming from this place where you expect nothing to come from?" This is the Bible "oh nobody with any respect comes from that place". So they didn't recognize him having any credits, for knowledge, for learning etc, school by the Rabbis or something, no he was not.


Crucifixion a sign 

Q.4.157; Jesus they crucified not

That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary the Apostle of Allah"; but they killed him not nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow for of a surety they killed him not."

Matt 27.28-35; Jesus Crucified

[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 

[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!    

[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 

[35] And they crucified him."

Jesus was not schooled by Rabbis, not helped by the world teachers, "here he comes talking to us and telling us how things should be in the world, where is his credits"? Even his crucifixion is a sign, they didn't just crucify him according to their report, you know Al Islam has a different version of his life and everything, death and everything. I'm not saying this to agree with the Christian I'm saying this to show you what is the Christian version, what was and is their thinking, ok


Humiliated Before Masses Then Crucified Jesus

So now here is man that they say they crucified put it that way, how did they crucify him? They didn't just nail him on a cross, they didn't just put him there and nail him on a cross, first the humiliated him, tried to humiliate him, treat him as nothing as someone unworthy of the claim he made, "oh you're the king?" okay so they made mockery and put thorns on his head, made a crown of thorns and put on his head. "This is man that would be king of the Jews".

But they also stripped him of his garments, stripped him of his garments left nothing on him but a rag a little piece of the garment to hide his private parts, that's how they did him, stripped him. Now all of that has great meaning brothers and sisters, great meaning in Religion and Religious knowledge, scriptural knowledge more correctly. In Scriptural knowledge, great meaning in Scriptural knowledge. And great implications and meanings for the world.


Jesus Stripped Of Garment

They stripped him of his garments why? You're ignorant, you're uncultured, you were not taught by us, give us back our garments, we are going to hang you naked, you don't deserve anything of our world that we gave you. But you didn't give him his garments, they didn't know it, but they were taking away from him something that they didn't give. G-d gave him his garments, but they didn't know what they were doing, if they did that.

Now, all of that to say that this man was not a product of the world, this man is a pure genuine product of his Creator, G-d and nobody else have had any hand in his making, that's what that's saying.

Now if Jesus then is a man that had no teachers, no learned people assisted him, G-d is to be given all the credit for his intellect and his performance in the world and it is said of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) too, that he had no teaching, that he was unlearned and he too was among animals, yes he too was cared for among animals, if you understand I'm not going to even try to explain it to you, he too was cared for among animals. And here this man Muhammad (pbuh) turns out to be a teacher for the world and a light for the world Teacher for the world means a light for the world, he turns out to be a light for the world.

John 16:7; Expedient that I go away

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Then now can't you follow me when I that Jesus was a sign of what was coming?   Jesus taught too and his message is universal, his message is for all people and his message is a mercy to all the worlds, but he spoke in parables, " and   I must go away for if I go not away the comforter will not come unto you. And when the spirit of truth has come, he not me, will lead you into all truths". Now what they say is that really that's him coming back, the same Jesus coming back in the form of the holy ghost.

1 Cor. 14:4-5; Speak in tongues edify self

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. [5] I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.


Speaking In Tongues

Now, lets see what Paul had to say about the holy ghost, Paul said a lot of things that I don't agree with but this one I think I like. He said " those who talk in tongues touched by the holy ghost, holy ghost speaking in them. Said " those who talk in tongues would be best to keep quiet and only let themselves listen to what the holy ghost is saying to them? He said "because they don't edify anything", they don't construct anything, said "because they don't edify anything". Said " and the only one understands the communication is the one speaking", that's what Paul says.

So Jesus said of himself, "1 speak in parables now so you can't understand me clearly" about two or three okay, and now here his followers saying, the leadership saying "well when he spoke of someone coming back, coming again, another comforter", it says another comforter. If he was talking about himself he would just say the comforter, the comforter I'm speaking to you now in parables, but later the comforter will come to you? He wouldn't say "another comforter". And if he was doing the work that was enough by itself and nothing else was to come he wouldn't say "when the spirit of truth is come he will lead you into all truth"


Spirit Of Truth In All Prophets 

Al Hadith 4p.82#642w; Jesus Muhammad together

Now we know the spirit of truth came in Jesus Christ, came in all the Prophets, definitely the spirit of truth was in Jesus Christ, but he said "another comforter". And he said "when he is coming, that's the 3rd person that's how they taught me grammar in school. That the first person is speaking to us of a 3rd person, not speaking to us of those present, he's not speaking to the 2nd person of those present who are listening to him, and he's not speaking of the first person "he" himself who was speaking, he's speaking of the 3rd person, somebody to come that wasn't present yet. "When he has come he will lead you into all truths.

And Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) said, if you're a follower of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), he said " they will see Jesus Christ and Myself together". Now we know you can interpret that in many ways, but when you have the knowledge, the complete knowledge its only one way to interpret it, only one way, that Jesus was sign of the coming of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). But not just the sign of the coming of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), the Word of G-d is coming again. The Quran coming is coming again and its coming not as picture language, it coming as pure light, clear guidance, not parables, not picture language, clear guidance. So he was point to that.

I have something in this bag here and we're going to stop right now and get to it Allahu Akbar I will say the Dua aloud. The Dua' I say all the time but I don't say it aloud, I will say it aloud, let me give it to you in English first and lets repeat it in English then I'm going to do it in Arabic and say Ameen, you ready?

Iftar Dua.:

In G-d I have believed on G-d I put my trust with the provisions provided by G-d I break my fast tomorrow of the month of Ramadan I intend to fast Amen.

Now lets say it in Arabic:
"Billahe amantu 'alalhe tawakaltu wabe rezqelahe afturtu Ameen"

Tapes, transcript be made available 

...yes so you don't neglect to register if you didn't do it you should register because we will be going by the list we have of persons who registered and they are the ones who will get the tapes, eventually a tape.

Either transcribed or the tape itself and transcription, but you have to be registered, we have to have your name and your address, your mailing address.

So let me begin now where I left off en sha Allah, I want to give you an introductory course, statement or course really for this session and I have given it before very recently right in this Masjid here to some students. We started a class here Imam Darnell Karim asked me if I would - told me what he had planned for Islamic studies here, for children and I suggested maybe an adult program would be good too.

So he included an adult program in the program of this center, this Islamic center. And he was happy to know that I was willing to conduct the class. So I'm conducting a class once a week now on Thursdays for those who are in the area, if you're interested please see Imam Darnell Karim and register for the class if you're interested, for those who are in the Harvey area here or in the Chicago area, it doesn't matter, yes.

So this introductory course was focused on the Prophet (pbuh) as recipient of Divine Revelation, the Word of G-d, the Quran and the Quran itself, what is it, what is the Quran firstly and what is most important in the message to Muhammad (pbuh) from G-d, name the Quran and it has many other beautiful names in the Quran itself, in the text itself.   What is the Book, what is the main message there and for us to live and practice, carry out?

And when we look at Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) what is he to us as a picture, as a model for us to emulate as a picture giving us a message because actually Muhammad's (pbuh) picture gives us a message too. There is a message in his picture, by that I mean if you perceive him correctly then with that perception of him comes the message, there is a message. So we want to know the Quran in its first and most important picture and we want to know the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in his first and most important picture.


Muhammad Perfect Human Being

Q.68.4; Prophet character best

And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character.

So I will begin by saying this, that the most important thing for us to know about the Messenger (pbuh) of G-d is that he is the perfect human being. And he wasn't that after he got Revelation, he was that when he was born and he retained that until G-d called him. When G-d called him he was already that, G-d didn't say "oh Muhammad stop committing sins, I want you to serve Me", no G-d said of him "surely we have seen you on the strongest foundation of character" 'Khalqan 'Atheem', "Atheem" means very strong.

You know when we bend over from standing going into ruku with our hand upon our knees, we say "Subhana rabbeyal Atheem", I'm speaking to you and I'm changing the wording which I shouldn't, I should be quoting what we say, what I say and you say. We say "Subhana rabbeyal Atheem" highly glorified is my Lord the mightiest, Atheem.


We, G-d Speaking In His Own Name 

And G-d uses this same language to describe the character of Muhammad (pbuh) says "surely we have seen him" when G-d says "We" He's speaking in His own name like a king. When the king speaks the king says "we"k, hardly ever he says "I". Even when he's talking about himself, he says "we", why? Because when he speaks, he speaks for everybody. He speaks for the angels, G-d when G-d speaks He speaks for the angels, He speaks for His righteous servants, He speaks even for forces that you don't even know about. And He says we because all those forces are in His power and in His organization, He's speaking for His power and His organization, so He says "We". And kings speak like that even today.

When you go to Saudi Arabia and sit in the audience of king Fahad may G-d continue to give him good health and good life and preserve him and the kingdom for Allah (swt) and His guidance and for the Muslim ummah Ameen. When you sit in his presence you will not hardly even hear him speak say "I", he will always say we. That's the way of the best of the leaders or kings and rulers of the earth, that's the way of the best, so when G-d speaks to us in the language of the people that G-d respects, G-d respects, listen, G-d respects the way of the people and the order of the people that they have established that is dignified and deserving of respect, G-d respects it.


Allah Is The Believer Trusts Man

Q. 59.23; Allah is the Believer

"Allah is He than whom there is no other god the sovereign the Holy One the Source of Peace (and Perfection). The Guardian of Faith (The Believer) the Preserver of Safety the Exalted in Might the Irresistible the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (high is He) above the partners they attribute to Him."

Bukhari 2-440; Child born Muslim

Narrated Ibn Shihab Abu Huraira, narrated that the Prophet said, "Every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism or to Christianity or to Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?"

We have to know G-d, G-d trusts us human beings with our own intelligence, He created us and didn't make us like animals or trees or stones, just stay in one mold and can't come out of it. He made us with freedom of will and spirit and mind, we can come out of our mold of behavior, we can come out of the Muslim, the original mold of behavior that G-d created for us. And we have it when we're born, everybody, everybody has it when we're born according to the teaching of our Prophet (pbuh), but we are free to come out of that mold, we don't have to stay in the Muslim mold, in the Muslim nature we 're free to come out of that.

So look how G-d trust us with our own life, that's the first trust that we get from G-d, He trust us with our own life, then He gives leadership to a man, the khalifa and He trust the khalifa with leadership and with responsibility not only for his own life but for the environment and for the direction He wants for mankind, that's a trusting G-d. That's why one of the attributes of G-d is the Believer "Al Mumin" G-d's name is "The Believer" "AI Mumin" means the Trustworthy One that what "Al Mumin".

Believer in Al Islam also means trustworthy, when we call you Mu'men we are calling you not only a believer but also calling you trustworthy. You can't be a believer without also being trustworthy, safe to life with, isn't that wonderful? Safe to live with, see if you're a believer, you're safe to live with for other good people, you're safe to live with.

Q. 5.6; Allah intends not difficulty but to purify you "

... Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty but to make you clean and to complete His favor to you that ye may be grateful."

Please get as comfortable as you can, I like the saying in the Qu'ran G-d says "not that He wants difficulty for you but He wants that you be purified". So even if you're sick and you want to take the fast but you know you are sick, you know it's a little too much for you, you don't have to take it. If you're on Hajj and you get a little sick you can get all kind of help, you can be taken to the hospital, you can stop your rituals, be taken to the hospital, you can lay in the bed, get well first and then after you're well you can go back and complete the Hajj.


Allah Two Powers Punish, Mercy 

So Allah (swt) is a Loving, Merciful G-d, this is the G-d that is given to us in the New Testament, the G-d given to us in the Old Testament is a hard faced G-d, very hard faced G-d. It was necessary for the New Testament to come to interpret the other power of G-d, G-d has two powers. G-d has power to enforce His Will and G-d has also power to redeem through His mercy, His kindness, His love, His mercy, well that's enough for that.

Now getting back to the point that G-d is a Merciful G-d and that, that G-d gave Revelation to Muhammad (pbuh) and we want to understand both the Revelation and the recipient, the one who receives it.

And we have to understand that correctly if we are to have the best spirit for Muslims and Muslims in the condition to go forward not only in these times that's requiring really the Muslim issue. The issue for Muslims in the Quran, the main issue for Muslims in the Quran and in the life of Muhammad (pbuh) be addressed right now in these times. But not only in these times in times before us when the world did not know itself, when the world was still seeing itself in pieces. Before they discovered this part of the world they saw the world itself in pieces. They didn't see the whole world, see these things are very important that I'm telling, it isn't nothing I'm telling you unimportant or little important, everything I'll be telling you is a big importance. I'm not going to even dwell on anything unless its of big importance, ok. It might be a little thing but it's a big thing in our way if I discuss it, ok.


Universality of AJ Islam

Now, so its important to see the Quran and Muhammad (pbuh) and Muhammad (pbuh) in their picture that's for all people, in their picture that's for all people. Not for Africans or Europeans or Asians, separately, no for all people. And its important to see the message, I'm speaking on - addressing now the universality of Al Islam, you can put that heading, the universality or Islam's universality, that's the way I rather put it. Al Islam's universality that's what I'm addressing to you right now and this is our introduction to our sessions, our course Islam's universality.


"Rabitat" Means To Tie 

Q. 3.200; Persevere and form alliances

" O ye who believe! persevere in patience and constancy: vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other (alliances); and fear Allah; that ye may prosper."

When I was in Saudi Arabia making 'Umra and welcomed in the audience of the great sheik I'm saying that this is my language not their's, the great sheik 'Abdullah Ubaid who is presently and was then, well no, I think he was just coming into the office, I don't think he was officially in the position when we spoke when we had an audience. He is the head of "Rabitat Al Alam Al Islamiyyah" Imam Darnell Karim helped me get that name out completely, I just said Rabitat and I was trying to find an English translation for it, and I couldn't get it because I needed those other two words, "Rabitat" is the world Muslim league, yes.

"Rabitat " means to tie like you tie, if you're wearing a tie, the knot in your tie is "Rabta" from "Rabitat", okay so it means to tie, to make a tie and G-d tells us to make alliances, right?

So "Rabitat Al Alam Al Islamiyyah" is really an alliance of many Muslim groups for the many Muslim nations and societies of the world because some of them are not nations, they are just societies, they are just small communities under other governments. And "Rabitat" has connections with all of them or it seeks to have connections with all of them, so if any new one comes into existence "Rabitat" will soon get in touch with them and have some kind of connection with them.

So "Rabitat" has connections with our group, this association Muslim Society of America, "Rabitat" based in Mecca has connections with this community through some of you Imams, some of you hard working believers but through your Imam, through myself. I'm a member of the Supreme Council in Mecca and I'm - that means I represent some of the Masajid, some of Masjids in the world here in America, represent you. And I also am an associate of Muslim brother and friend to the World Muslim League, "Rabitat".

So they have my name, they send me correspondence, they inform me of things that they think I should be informed of, we have relationship so we have "Rabitah", we have a tie with them. And G-d says "and make allegiance "Rabitu", that's the order, G-d says "Rabitu" form alliances, alright, ok so much for that.


Al Islam The Proper Name Of The Islamic Religion

Q. 5.3; Al Islam as Religion for you

"This day have I perfected your religion for you completed my favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."

Getting back to the topic Al Islam's universality the reason why we say Al Islam because that's what G-d says in the Quran, Al Islam. G-d never says Islam when He's speaking about the Religion for the people, for all of us, that He gave us. When He's speaking of the Religion that He gave us He says Al Islam all the time in the Quran.


"Islamukum" Individual Islam

But in the Quran we also find the expression "Islamukum", your Islam. So He knows that individuals also have their Islam, but very seldom will you find that word, that expression in the Quran. I doubt that its there more than two or three times. We're counting them sometimes, yes.

So the universality, Al Islam's picture, most important picture its universality is its most important picture. G-d says "this day I have perfected for you your Religion and have completed My favor on you and have chosen for you Islam but He says "Al", He puts the "Al" there, Al Islam as Religion. So that means that G-d showed mankind His mercy, G-d had been aware of mankind's struggle like He's aware of everything from the time that struggle began in any lonesome heart anywhere in creation. Somewhere the struggle to find G-d and find His way for our life began and G-d is aware of it before it got started, He is aware of it when it was started, He was aware of it all the time during its history as it spread from person to person and as it became into existence. Anywhere in creation G-d was aware of it before and at the time it came into existence and He was caring about His human beings all the time and He was waiting to see how would they develop themselves.

And at any turn in their struggle that was to require Him to come into it because its too much for His creatures, He came into it with Prophets and warners and Messengers etc., He came into it and that's His way with His human beings with His human creatures. So G-d has always been aware of our struggle and G-d refers to that struggle He says "Islamukum", your Islam.


Muslim By Creation

Q.22.78; Muslim named before and this Revelation

" It is He Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be a witness for you and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer give regular Charity and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector the Best to protect and the Best to help!

We were always Muslims because G-d created us Muslims, every baby is born a Muslim according to Quran and Muhammad (pbuh), I won't waste a lot of time giving the quotes and evidences I just tell you, its according to Allah's Revelation, The Quran and Muhammad himself, the description of Muhammad (pbuh) we have always been Muslims, we're born Muslims we just didn't know ourselves as our teacher in darkness said to us, yes. We just didn't know ourselves.

And we have always had our Al Islam in our hearts and souls, that is to say every person is by nature Religious, he makes himself an atheist, he wasn't born that way. Every person by nature is Religious and every person want their Religion to be for the One Who's responsible for their existence and the One they believe to be Rescuer in times of great trouble, everybody wants to have that. And that's the true and real effort in the Muslim nature for the real Religion Al Islam. And G-d saw the struggle, now you see this picture how beautiful it is?

Q. 29.45; Think on Allah is greatest 

"...And remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt.

If you don't think about these things you can't get the beauty out of it, Allah (swt) says think and surely thinking profits you. And the most profitable thinking is thinking on G-d, how did he do these things, what is this handiwork of His etc., that's the most profitable thinking or the most beneficial thinking, it brings the most benefit according to G-d "Wa dhikrullah akbar", yes and the remembrance of G-d is the greatest, praise be to Allah (swt).

Q. 5.3; Al Islam as Religion for you

Al Islam or Islam's universality, so G-d says to mankind, He didn't say Arabs, "oh you Arabs" the expression is not to any race or nation the expression is to human being, all of, mankind. Says "this day I have perfected for you your Religion and have completed My favor on you and have chosen for you, I have chosen for you - look how personal G-d gets with us, yes look how personal this Great Creator that we can't even completely perceive, can't even see Him completely or know Him completely, so great, too much for our nature and our intelligence, too big for it. We only can get Him in certain amounts, so Big, Eternal, existing always, brought everything into existence for us not for Him, He needs nothing of what He brought into existence. He didn't bring anything into existence to help Him, to support Him, no nothing.

Q. 31.20; Subject to you all in heaven, earth exceedingly

"Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth and has made His bounties flow to you in exceeding measure (both) seen and unseen?"

He brought everything into existence for human beings and that's addressing universality too because human being -that says if He created all this for human beings then that says that the world, the whole universe is for human beings. And Allah says "Sakhara lakum ma fes samawaate wa ma fel ard" that He has made for your benefit, for you use, to come into your service as utility for you, all that is in the skies and all that is in the earth, that's what Allah (swt) says.

Q.22.37; piety not blood reaches G-d

"It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you that ye may glorify Allah for His guidance to you: and proclaim the Good News to all who do right."

And He says I do not accept or receive or in another way your sacrifices of blood does not reach me, only your Taqwa, only your righteousness. Your sacrifice of blood does not reach Me, "well we don't sacrifice blood brother Imam", yes we do. When you slaughter the animal on Hajj you're sacrificing blood, you're sacrificing the blood of the animal and you're not suppose to eat it. The animal is to be "dabeha" that means you're suppose to kill it properly so the blood is gone out of it and when you kill it properly you can wash it in the sink, I've done it and you've done it and you don't hardly see any blood. Maybe the water be a little pink and after a while no color in the water at all "dabeha", yes.

So G-d says your blood does not reach Me, your sacrifice of blood does not reach Me, this is addressing very, very extremely important I'm not even going to tell you what it is I hope some of you will find it, what it is. Why am I not going to do it? Because I don't want to embarrass anybody, I don't know maybe there's a good Jew or good Christian sitting out there on the floor, a lot of people disguise themselves to come and hear me you know, yeah. So if you are I'm not going to make you uncomfortable giving you our perception of your sacred ideas or beliefs.


Allah Is Samad Not Influenced By Anything

Q. 20.132; feeds requires not to feed Him
"...We ask not of thee a provision: We provide for thee.

G-d says and the blood does not reach Him only your Taqwa, only your righteousness and He says "I do not require that you feed Me" again a reference to something extremely important. "I do not require that you feed Me" and His attribute is As Samad. And its given, this description that makes Him not One to be fed and that makes Him not One that wants to receive some help from you, is given all lin one Surah of the Quran called Suratul Ikhlas and also its called the Suran of the unity.

And in this Surah let us listen to it now, universality that's what we are addressing Al Islam's universality and universality means that it is here mainly for all human beings and to serve their needs and to guide them into the best possible life for them, that's what this is all about, that's what universality is.   In all of its aspect, the life and all of its importance and true aspects or features Allah (swt) wants to complete it, a whole life for us. He completes the Religion for us so that our life will be completed. He doesn't want us with a half life, with the life that is not complete, He wants us with the whole life, that's why Muhammad (pbuh) is the whole man, he's the whole man that Allah (swt) wanted on this earth, the whole man.


Muhammad Perfect Kept His True Complete Nature

And by being the whole man he's the perfect man, don't think perfect means "oh he does not get a cold", he got a cold and he died with a cold, peace be upon our Prophet, he got a cold and died with a cold, ok. So that's not the kind of perfection we're talking about, "oh he doesn't make a mistake, he's perfect", no he did make mistakes and G-d tells us he made a mistake, that's not his perfection, although he seldom made mistakes. His perfection is that he has or he was in the complete human image that G-d wants for all of us. He wasn't the only one now, don't think that Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) was the only one that was born and kept his true nature and complete nature that G-d created him with as a baby, given to you as a baby.


Abraham Kept Original Nature's Perfection 

Don't think he was the only one that lived to keep it, there were others, Abraham was one of them, Abraham never worshiped idols and G-d didn't have to tell him not to do it, he did it on his own. He didn't follow his daddy in his idolatrous ways, see? And there were many others but here is another one born like that and he's going to be the last of the Prophets, the seal of the Prophets.

Q33.40; Muhammad Seal of the Prophets 

"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but (he is) the Apostle of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things."

Now its important to understand him too, Muhammad's (pbuh) universality. It doesn't mean when it says he's the last Prophet (pbuh) it doesn't mean that he's the last one that will warn somebody,   doesn't mean that he's the last one that will give a warning. Now if you fight me you won't get the benefit, if your thoughts are fighting or criticizing, so critical, you're looking for fault in me, you'll will not get the benefit and I'm sorry for you. Because the benefit is tremendous, yes G-d has opened our eyes, black man in America, G-d has opened our eyes and what He has shown us is tremendous. And G-d knows that I'm not looking for any attention to myself, I want nothing for myself, absolutely nothing. I want everything for G-d and for you, G-d knows that if you don't.

Now, what was I saying there? Yes thank you, why should I strain to remember when you can remember? I got so many things on my mind now that I should be doing right now but I have to do things according to importance. And the important thing for me today is you in these sessions, us, believe me I get great benefits from these sessions too. Any good qualified teacher will tell you they have learned a lot from their teaching practice, yes. So don't think that Allah (swt) will let a teacher teach and not get some benefits too, praise be to Allah (swt), yes ok.

So when we think, this is very important, extremely important, you're suppose to be a special group here, I invited students of Imam W. Deen Mohammed I didn't invite anyone that's criticizing me and following somebody else and looking to see if I'm agreeing with that person you're following, I didn't invite you. So if you here, you're here without an invitation, okay?

And I don't care who you are, makes me no difference, you could be the biggest Imam in our community, if you're not of the description of a student of mine and you feel yourself, you came here as my student, thinking that you're my student and you're sitting here now listening to me as your teacher and not somebody else over me, "oh Muhammad (pbuh) is over you the Prophet is over you" yes he is but he has to be now represented by us, he's gone, praise be to Allah (swt). So we have to help those who know less, we have to help them know more about G-d's Word and about G-d's Messenger Muhammad the last the seal of the Prophets (pbuh), alright.

So this is what I'm comfortable with, so I want you to know what I'm comfortable with and I'm ignoring those who are interrupting and disrupting, sending bad vibrations through the atmosphere into this atmosphere, I'm ignoring it. That's the last time I'll address you here, yes.


W.D. Mohammad Clarity Of Expression 

So the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), "oh he, this man" - no I am clear ok, "oh he, this man is something he must be", someone is saying that in the audience, "this man is more than just an Imam", no I'm just an Imam, in fact I'm less than an Imam, I'm just a human being trying to obey my Lord, that's what I am. And how come I seem to be to you who love me bigger than Imams and bigger than this and bigger than that? Its because I'm clear, clear in my intentions and also clear in my heart; therefore my expression became clear, took time over the years I was struggling but now my expressions are clear and I thank G-d I can tell anyone that I speak and can speak clearly.


W.D .Mohammed Tell People As He Said It 

So don't tell us you don't understand, the problem is yours not with the expressions, you have to interpreted after you leave, interpret them for your friends, you didn't see brother, you just didn't see or sister, the expression was clear.   You didn't need to do anything but give it just as I gave it, that's the best way to give it, don't try to change it for somebody, say "this is what he meant", no I meant what I said and it was clear.

Q.33.56; Send Prophet greeting, salutation 

"Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! send ye blessings on him and salute him with all respect.


Prophet Means Warner

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and we should say this in our hearts if we don't speak it aloud prayer and peace be upon him because Allah (swt) tells us to do that, the way to salute him.   Allah (swt) told us the way to salute him isn't that wonderful, G-d Himself in the Quran tells us how to salute Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) when we know him as the past Prophet, it doesn't meant that he's the last Prophet because the word Prophet means warner. It comes from a word meaning to give news but that news is a warning, it's a news that carries a warning with it. So Allah (swt) doesn't speak of His servant Muhammad (pbuh) that many times as a Prophet but He speaks to him just constantly over and over again, repeatedly as His Messenger (pbuh).


Prophet Many Sent To Local Communities Only 

Q. 4.171; Jesus sign, word of Allah

Now the last of the Prophets is to be understood because this is the universality of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). There were other Prophets who were sent to local communities not sent to all people.   Jesus Christ peace be upon him, he is a sign of the last Prophet, he's a sign of many things. He's a sign of the Word of G-d, how the Word of G-d lives in the world and how its treated in the world. He's a sign firstly I should say of the Word of G-d and G-d's way, G-d's Will or G-d's Spirit, that's what he's a sign of, First. But being a sign of that and not being the real thing except in his nature but in his message and in his life, the way he lived it, the way he demonstrated himself, I like to use picture, the way he pictured himself or gave his picture to others. 

He is only a sign both he and his mother, may peace be upon both of them, only signs. But in his nature he was the real thing, in his own nature he was the real thing, the real human being, the real person receiving this great knowledge and wisdom and everything, he was the real person, he's not just the sign, also he was a real person, which it took me a long time to get. But I finally had to come to the conclusion based upon the evidences that I saw that Prophet Jesus, the Christ peace be upon him was a sign yes, but he was also a reality.

Jesus suffering tells us mistreat Word of G-d He was also a real person who lived among the people and who did these wonderful things and who presented himself in such a wonderful and beautiful picture as a sign of how the Word of G-d should be seen and how it should live in the world with people and how it should be treated. His suffering tells us "you shouldn't treat the Word of G-d like that, its terrible the way you have treated the Word of G-d", that's what his suffering tells us, yes.

And it tells us the human being that is bearing this message to give you this sign is a very special human being because he does not even exist for himself, he's not existing for himself, "oh that's you brother Imam" please don't, I heard you thinking, "he says he does not do this for himself, that's true many others didn't, I'm not Christ Jesus, yes. So any way he is not doing this for himself, he puts himself out of the picture, he doesn't want anybody to see him, he's out of the picture, the human person. And he's only showing you the person who is personifying the Word of G-d isn't that wonderful?

Q. 16.30; Heaven now and later fully

"To the righteous (when) it is said "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say "All that is good." To those who do good there is good in this world and the Home of the Hereafter is even better. And excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous.

Oh this Religion is so wonderful, I wish everybody could see the Religion in its true beauty and greatness, all of us humans would be Religious, Christians, the Jews, the Muslims all of us would be Religious. There is no better life than the Religious life, its so great that when you're in it really as you should be, you're in heaven on earth, yes you are. You're in heaven on earth and in Al Islam you know we believe that we come into a dimension or a measure of heaven while we live. And if we understand the message of Gospel, the Gospel says the same thing, how does it say it?

Did I mention that we would be talking about Scripture? I don't want you to be irritated, "this is Ramadan why is he talking about the Bible, why is he talking about Christianity?" I think I mentioned that we would be talking about the Scripture?

Al Islam's universality, Muhammad the Prophet's (pbuh) universality but from Scripture we're not just talking on our own, we don't perceive any of this correctly or start to perceive it correctly until we start to look for it in the context of Reveled Script or Revelation, alright, yes.


Last Prophet Yet Warning Come To Humans

Q. 3.30; Allah warns through His soul

""On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done and all the evil it has done it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. But Allah cautions you (to remember) Himself. And Allah is full of kindness to those that serve Him.

Prophet Muhammad as the last Prophet (pbuh) thank you, so when we see him as the Last Prophet we are not to see him as the person who got the last warning, G-d is going to be warning human beings for ever, as long as we're human beings on this earth. And He will warn those that will never be known as warners, some of you are warners, yes you are, I'm a warner, but I'm not a Prophet in that sense; therefore, we can't be called Prophets.

So this warner, this particular warner that is the seal of the warners or the Prophets and the last of them how is he that and we are not that, but we all can be warners?   G-d can inspire all of us to be warners, any of us pardon me to be a warner, okay. And that continues, that's not going to stop, G-d is not going to stop doing that, G-d will be warning us through women, through men, G-d will be warning us and through things. But things won't be called warners, human being are called the warners.


Prophet, Scripture From G-d

So G-d will be warning us, they are not the last, so is it okay for us to called the Hon. Elijah Muhammad a Prophet then since he was a warner? No its not okay, because in proper Religion you can't give that title to warners unless G-d has them in His plan for mankind. So these warners we call Prophets in Scripture, Scripture means G-d gave this and somebody wrote this, but G-d is the Speaker, G-d was the Giver of that body of knowledge. So if G-d is the Giver of that body of knowledge and those warners are in that body of knowledge, in the Scripture then they are the warners that G-d selected for specific job, for a specific plan for mankind on earth. From the first one to the last and to understand these warners that G-d selected that are called Prophets entitled to the words Prophet meaning that they are G-d's Prophets, that's the difference. They are G-d's Prophets.

Now G-d has given us the nature to be warners and to get help from Him but are we G-d's Prophet's? No, we're G-d's creation, we're not G-d's Prophets, we are our families prophets, we are our neighborhood's prophets etc, we are our friends prophets, but you can't use Prophets that's only for His servants, you have to say warners. You have to use the literal language, the literal translation, warners. We are warners, alright, that's important to understand and because this makes us uncomfortable, when we are hearing this said that there will be no more Prophets, some of us not all of us, but it makes some of us uncomfortable until we understand it.

We're uncomfortable because we know G-d is still warning and G-d have people who are very sensitive and they are still able to pick up things that others can't and warn people of things that they can't see or know, we still have human beings like that. So we how know that, we feel a little uncomfortable with this saying that there will be no more Prophets, since Prophets means warners. And we know that there are some warners.

... We know of some there are some warners warning us about the way we live, warning us about the way we see our life in the future, warning us, the nature never changes, the Will and Law of G-d never changes. So we have to understand G-d's plan separate from our nature, ok? Separate from our powers as human being or from our attributes as human beings. We have to understand G-d's plan and understand that when G-d says "this is My servant and he is the last, seal of the Prophets" G-d is addressing His Plan and His Plan has always been since man, the creation started, even before creation the Plan for it was with G-d. So it was existing all the time with G-d. And then He cause it to exist, materialize, ok.

So He is saying "in My Plan for mankind to guide him, My Plan for his guidance alright? In My Plan for his guidance I had to first - - one Adam, that's the first one Adam peace be upon Adam. I gave them Adam and everyone following Adam as a warner or as a Prophet I gave them those individuals, I selected them and I gave them the mankind the families or the nations, those persons because I needed them in My Plan for the life and guidance of mankind, that's the way you understand that?

So if that is the case at some point G-d would have everything in His Plan, hence at some point we must have a last Prophet and that last one is the Seal of the Prophets. Now if that isn't clear something is wrong with your mind, you need some extra help and I hope you get it but get it from some of these fine students that I got out here. You probably won't hear anything from me on this again, alright. "Oh he's going to die", I don't see it, I don't  know when, when I see it I'll let you know, "well you all tighten up, I won't be with you long", yes alright, praise be to Allah (swt).


Seal of Prophets Is Authentic Representative And Hope

So that's the way we understand the Last Prophet and the seal of the Prophet, when you bear the seal of someone that means you are the authentic representative of that one. So Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the authentic representative of all the Prophets before him, all of them, but what else is that saying? That says that he is their hope, every Prophets hope was to have Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), they couldn't be him but they were struggling in their own nafs, self or soul to be as much of Muhammad as they could be.

So Allah (swt) Muhammad (pbuh) sends a picture of the human being he wants in Adam, He sends a picture of the human being he wants in Noah each time he's given you more of the features of that human being He wants. He finally sends you Muhammad the Prophet with all (pbuh) features of the human man He wants. And he's the seal of the Prophets because their human nature was to fulfill that prescription that G-d had in their nature too. That's why G-d had Muhammad (pbuh) say, G-d tells Muhammad to say "say to them I'm the mortal human being just like you", says "Qul anaa basharum methlukum" "say to them I'm the mortal human being just like you".


"T" "Ta marbuta" symbol for "And"

Now what does this have reference to? Because you're talking about tying a knot, right? So you know when you say and, you can make and with a sign, different signs but one is a tie "and" you're connecting something that went before with something coming after. So the symbol for "and" in English is like that m. 53 [___} right?

And actually its "Ta marbuta" for those who understand what I'm saying. Our symbol for and is "Ta marbuta". Say "not brother Imam "Ta marbuta" has two dots over it" they put the dots after Muhammad (pbuh), Muhammad (pbuh) was gone when they put the two dots there, this is history, am I right or wrong?


Connect Knowledge

So history says they put the dots after Muhammad (pbuh) not before, the first Quran had no dots. So our English, this Western world has a symbol for "And" and its just like that, its "Ta marbuta". "Marbuta" means tied is that right? From "Rabita", "Ta marbuta", ok. So we are to make connections and my advice to you is just don't study knowledge. Study knowledge and try to see its relevant connections, that's the way scientist study and that's the way Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us to study, his original, first followers. He taught them to study with the object of trying to see relevant connections.

When you study the Quran, you want to profit from it, you want to benefit from you studies the most, be aware that what went before had some connection with what's following it, its all connected.


Kabah. "Qiblah"

Now very, very, extremely important for us, when we - -this is what I gave in my introductory course Imam Darnell Karim witnessed, we have a symbol before us that we are to turn to for the unity of this Muslim community or Ummah. We have a sign or symbol we turn to its called Kabah, its also called "Qiblah" so you should write both these words because I'm going to give  some explanation now.


Allah (swt) means more than The G-d 

Kabah, "Qiblah", we say as an expression of our position, our conviction, we say The G-d, not just G-d, Allah (swt) does not mean just G-d, Allah (swt) means The G-d, Allah (swt) means the only G-d, the G-d before after and all times, Allah (swt) The G-d. So we say as an expression of our conviction firstly in the order of importance we say " Allahu Rabbe" The G-d is my Lord or Allah (swt) you know its better to Say Allah (swt). I'm not giving you, don't be going around here saying "yes The G-d", no, you say Allah (swt), this is just an attempt to help you understand the name Allah (swt). But the name Allah (swt) is bigger than just The G-d, why? Because you have to know The G-d in His attributes, so we have to know Allah (swt) in His revealed attributes, so we learn Allah (swt) too, we come to know Allah (swt) better, the most help we can get to understand Allah (swt) better, where is the most help? In the Quran and next after that? In Muhammad's (pbuh) life, in his life as the servant and Messenger of G-d but also as a human being too, ok.


Lord, Rabb

Our commitment, no stay with it, no we're talking about our most important or expressions of our firm commitment and that firm comes from Quran too and from Muhammad (pbuh). That firm commitment we say "Allahu Rabbe" this generally expresses, we say "G-d is my Lord", now when we say my Lord we have to know what my Lord means, what is Lord in Al Islam? We know what Lord is in Christianity, we know what Lord is in Western politics, Lord is a member of the cabinet for the British or English people, right?   Yes, they have the house of Lords and the house of commons, commons and Lords. So we know what it means in their politics and we know what it means in Christianity, what does it mean in Al Islam?

In Al Islam literally, taking it out of its meaning in Al Islam going back to its meaning before Al Islam the word is taken from a word which simply means the work of the good parent in caring for its children, that's what it means. The good parent in caring for its children, she or he, mostly she you know, the mother is the one that does that if she's living and healthy to do that, alright.


Language Study It Connections

So let us look at the word, see language you have to be able to go to language and then study language in its connections, everything is important in connections, so don't forget to bring me back to Kabah and Qiblah as the focus for connections.


G-d loves All Humanity Like Mother Loves All Children 

Q. 31.14-15; Mother travail upon travail bore him 

Al Hadith 1 p. 182#1; Mother love 3 times

So the mother, a true, real healthy mother she cares about all of her children equally no matter how bright one will over the other, she will be awfully hurt if she thought that bright one was looking down on the other one, that would hurt her terribly.
She might even give him a good whipping, very good one, he might cry four months later when he think about that whipping he got, he might say "up".   A good mother cares about all of her children and that's how G-d wants us to see Him, see how I have put into the mother My care for human beings? See how she cares about all of them and no matter how much one excels another when it comes to the right treatment and right respect she brings it to them and enforces it, isn't that wonderful? And this is just one feature of the good mother that I'm giving you, she has many good features, she will get up out of her bed at night tired, maybe she's sick but she will drag her body to the bedroom where the baby is who's sick or the little boy or the little girl is sick and she will check on them. When they need something she will give them something for temperature, cover them up, wrap them up maybe change the bed for them if its wet, that mother is something else buddy.


Mother Most Important Parent

So that's our most important parent, if the mother wasn't the most important parent Prophet Muhammad wouldn't have answered that young man who wanted to know, he said "I'm able to take care of my parents now and both of them need me" said "who should I give the most attention to?" Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) he said "your mother", he asked again he wasn't pleased with this, he said "your mother". And some say he asked even a third time and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) said "and your mother". And he asked even a fourth time and the Prophet (pbuh) said "and your father", yes. Oh that has universal, I started to say broad, that has universal ramifications what the Prophet said, yes, alright.


Quran Expressed And Implicit

Q. 7.3; Quran none knows hidden meaning allegory, basic 

"He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: in it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical seeking discord and searching for its hidden meanings but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord"; and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding."

Miskat Masabah Ip.l40#238; Quran explicit implied meaning

Ibn Mas'ud reported the Prophet (pbuh) said: "The Quran was sent down in seven dialects. Every one of its verses has an explicit and implicit meaning and every interdiction is clearly defined."

Because we have to understand this too, it is said by the Prophet (pbuh) that everything in the Quran that we read has a direct reading and an implied or alluded to reading. It alludes to another reading, while saying something directly its alluding at the same time to another reading, so it actually has two readings. And we say Scripture is read in its print and its also read in its interpretation, right? All Scripture has interpretations, has its reading and also its interpretations.

But what are we hearing from the Imams, scholars now? And I have heard it from them myself, I'm not talking about this group, although some of you are here because you heard it from them, the Quran is not to be interpreted it is its own interpretation. So you're not to interpret it, it is its own interpretation and Allah says that "no one knows its hidden meaning or secrets or interpretation but G-d, 'illah'", that's in the Quran, yes, that's true. But when the angels answered G-d they "said we have no knowledge except what you have given us", so really G-d is the only Knower then, that's what it is saying and that's what the good saints and pious worshipers say in Al Islam today. When something hits them and they think on G-d they say " G-d or My Lord You know we know not", is that all to that? They do know, but they mean that whatever we know its from G-d and we are only using what G-d, the Knower shared with us, its not our knowledge. So we have nothing but what You gave us, right? Ok.

So how are they going to say that no one knows the "taiweel" except Allah (swt) and say period without any explanation, yes period but with some explanation, alright, okay.

Q.12.101; Joseph given interpretation

""O my Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on me some power and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams and events O Thou Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protector in this world and in the Hereafter take thou my soul (at death) as one submitting to Thy Will (as a Muslim) and unite me with the righteous."

Now in the Quran Allah (swt) says that He taught certain person the Ta'weel" that He gave certain person, taught certain person the "Ta'weel" how ridiculous they are. Here is the book you're getting your information from condemning you, saying that G-d gave someone the "Ta'weel".      
                  J^(
Didn't He give Joseph the "Ta'weel", Prophet Yusuf wasn't he given the "Ta'weel"? If I'm correct G-d says that He gave him the "Ta'weel" and he's not the only person that G-d gave the "Ta'weel".

So don't say no one knows the hidden meaning, G-d has given to some and He said He gave it to some creatures, alright? And Muhammad (pbuh) wouldn't have told us that Scripture, Revelation is by two descriptions. You're to read it as its given and its perfect and complete as its given, believe me.

Perfect, complete as its given, don't think its weak as its given, no its most powerful as its given and the only way you can get the "Ta'weel" you have to get it from the language as it is given, you can't get it from any other book, no other text. You have to get it from the book as it is written, if you get the "Ta'weel", ok?   And not without G-d's help, you'll never get it without G-d's help, yes bear with me I have to collect my thoughts, yes ok, alright.


"And" In Arabic Is "Rabtah" Tied At The Top 

Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) "Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam" I wish you would learn, all of you to say that, "Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam" "wa" means and "And" in Arabic is "Rabtah" tied at the top, right? And, ok "Sallam" make those "L's" very good, whenever you say "L" even in English you want to speak better, make sure your tongue touch the top of you mouth, don't ever say an "L" without your tongue touching the top of your mouth firmly. If you touch it lightly you'll have a weak "L", if you touch it firmly you'll have a strong "L", the mike is picking this up, you're hearing this because the mike is picking it up. So you even hear me breathing on the tape that's played on the radio. Brother John gets it so clearly you can hear me breathing, that's nothing but ordinary breath, don't think that's some strange breath coming over the radio, its nothing but ordinary breath. And I hope I brushed my teeth before I spoke or gave that talk, might have been some bad breath coming with it, ok.

Now, and Peace "Sallam" and its not "salaam its "Sallam", "shaddah" G-d saying and salute him with enthusiasm, with spirit and force "Sallam".   "Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam", alright, praise be to Allah (swt).


Ramadan Millions Are Fasting More Blessings 

Believe me, in Ramadan whatever you are able to do of good in Ramadan you can do it like super human. Your ability in Ramadan is like superhuman in comparison to what you could do outside of Ramadan. G-d blessed this month because so many millions of sincere pure souls are obeying Him in this month. So He loves this month more now than He did when He revealed the Quran in this month to Muhammad (pbuh).

He loves this month many more times than He did before because so many pure souls are obeying Him with their complete devotion. And only failing when they can't help themselves, He loves this month so much that He is more present with us in this month than He is with us in any other month, this month, the month of Ramadan.

And on the Night of Power oh boy, He is with us and He's giving us the peak of His presence and inspiration, its at the peak when we stand for the night of power. Now it doesn't have to be on 27th, if we stand on any odd night of that month obeying Him through His Messenger (pbuh), we're obeying Him then we get His presence at its peak and we get His spirit at its peak and His guidance at its peak for us. Never will His guidance be stronger for you than in the month of Ramadan and never will His guidance be stronger for you than in the month of Ramadan than on the night when you stand in prayer the Night of power. And this is not spooky, this is real.

Miskat Masabah Ip.l40#238; Quran explicit, implied meaning

Now where was I, I was on, -1 should be where you're waiting for me, that's where I should be so just think, where are you waiting for me, thank you I got it, that's where we are. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said everything in Quran has an expressed meaning and an implied meaning that means this language is alluding to another reading. And is this in Scripture? Yes this is very major, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) didn't tell us something, nothing - -didn't it say he will not speak anything of his own? So whatever Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to us its in Scripture before.

So how is this in Scripture before? Can you give me a break now for about five minutes, thank you I'll be right back, everywhere its good okay and they will be adjusting it and when they finish it should be perfect when they finish. So now it should be perfect, are you all finished, got it adjusted.

Thank you for your patience and waiting for me, I do have a slight health problem, its not serious, its serious for me only because its Ramadan.

I'll tell you what my problem is the Doctor prescribed for me as a prescription and I asked him when he did it because its too much water. I said I can't, its not way I can drink all that water. So I said is this your, what you're telling me I should do or is this a prescription? And the doctor told me he says "look at it" I said well its on a prescription, its a prescription, he said yes. So he prescribed for me three liters of water a day within 24 hr period of time, that's a lot of water. When its not Ramadan I very seldom drink liters of water a day, I try but its just too much, you understand. To drink that much water a day, the average person, I am average person, to drink that much water a day I have to just be at home or somewhere, you understand, ok. So its very difficult.

Now Ramadan makes it even much more difficult, so I'm without the amount of water that I should take, I'm way below my water, my eyes are reddening, my back is stiffening. I have arthritis in the back, thank Allah (swt) its not the kind that deforms, I'm telling you this because you care about me and I want you to be comfortable. I don't want you to think something is more serious than it is, so it makes the water fluids build up in that area, in the lower part of my back, it builds up and it gets tight and stiff back there because of the pressure of the fluid. As long as I'm drinking enough water and getting my exercise the fluids pass through, it just keeps flowing through, so I don't get this pain. So that's why its necessary for me to take all that water within 24 hr period.

And another thing I did mention that I have to do exercises too, if I don't I stiffen up, I get stiff and right now I'm very thirsty and my body is drying, my mouth I drink a lot of water before I come out here to try to get enough, but its not enough. So my mouth has started to day already a little bit and I may have to take some water, I'm going to trying not to, but I might have to take some water. That means my fast is gone for that day, but I will not take anything but the water so that my fast counts or not because I don't need anything but water, why should I eat. So if I have to break my fast I'll only be taking water and if I suffer too much I'm going to do it not for my sake but in obedience to G-d, "And its not that I want hardship for you, but that you be purified".

Ok so lets get back to where we were again thank you for your patience, love you too our we love you too. Okay I have another problem I can't take much oil, I know about cod liver oil, my mother us to give it to us. And I know about it. Bro. Wali who is working with us, you know him as the security brother, brother Wali if you're here would you stand? He's not here, oh yes he's working, he's also very much needed, he's a produce man and he knows the business. So he's at the job right now for us, our job CPC office working with our distributorship there.

But he told me once he said "brother Imam" he said "I think cod liver oil could help you a lot" but I have an oil tolerance, I can't take too much oil, yes I have to avoid oil, fats and oil, even vegetable oil I have to avoid all oil, fish oil, any oil. I have to avoid intake of too much it. So I perhaps can take a little quantity, small quantity of oil but not much. Sister you're talking to a man who has to be careful with almost everything that's, all that tasty stuff I have to be careful with.

Now I also they described me, one Doctor described me as a type II diabetic so I can't take a lot of sweets. I controlled my intake of sweets and I get routine exercises I went back to a clinic they examined me and they found me without sugar, no sugar, blood pressure perfect all vital signs perfect. But that was only after I stayed away from those things sugar, oil, salt, just a little salt, not much salt, I don't take much salt. I can take a little salt because I sweat a lot, so I sweat out salt, I give, I loose salt so I can take a little salt. The normal amount of salt I can take but I can't eat salt heavily, it will mess me up, I'll start having blood pressure problems.

Anyway very delicate body right now, I have to be very careful but since the sister have also recommended some cod liver oil I'm going to  ask the doctor how much can I take. And as much as he permits me to take, I'll take. Now sister you say take it with a cup of hot water? What did you say take it with? Take it without mixing anything? Before I eat anything take the cod liver oil and take it without mixing it with anything?

Norwegian? I know Norwegian, thank you very much. Yes cod liver oil and castor oil? You say the word, you just say the word and I'm already tasting it, smelling it too. The memory is so strong that when you say the word, right now I'm smelling castor oil around here, I do I swear, that's the truth.

I smell castor oil and I know its not here but actually my nose believes its smelling castor oil, really no joke. Now that's a strong impression, good G-d Almighty I almost started having orange juice. My mother put some in some orange juice once a long time before I could drink orange juice again on my own, only when she told me to drink it you know and she's watching, alright let us get back to our lesson.

We were on the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) his saying that "Every meaning or word in Quran is given as an expressed word or meaning", meaning that its there, you're reading what G-d wants to say. When you're reading it as it is, you're reading what G-d wants to say, you don't have to change it for anything; "oh I want to know what G-d is saying" no you are getting what G-d wants said. You're getting what G-d said and what He wanted to say, but it has also an implied reference or reading which means that alluding to, alluding means that it hinting it has hints to something else, that when its perceived you have another reading. And the next reading will only give more light to the first reading that's all, its not a different reading or a new reading, it's a brighter reading of the first reading, ok with more knowledge coming out, more light coming out, ok. So that's what Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said "Sallallahu alaihe wa sal lam", thank you very good too, very good pronunciation.

Q. 12.15; Joseph put in well.

"So they did take him away and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: and We put into his heart (this Message): "Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not."

And now we go back to the caution that we got "no one knows its interpretation but G-d, except Allah" we go back to that. Now the Prophet (pbuh) wouldn't have told us that this Script has an expressed reference and an implied on if he didn't want us to seek its implied message or reading. So those Imams they are afraid that the African American Muslim is going to, they know we been freed, we been made free thinkers by a master liberator, by three master liberators and I'm not going to give you any of their names, if you don't know them.


Joseph Elder Brother Sell Younger Into Slavery 

Yes we have been freed by three master liberators and l'm included, I've been freed too by not one, not two but three I have been freed by three master liberators, yes. And they know it believe me they know it and they're afraid that if our students keep studying unhampered that eventually they're going to mostly likely excel them. So there is the elder brother wanting to sell the young brother into slavery. Wanting to drop him down to the bottom of a dry well, not a well with water in it, wanting to drop him down to the bottom of a dry well. And if he's fortunate enough get out they want him put in prison.

That is the reality, I'm not just picking that because it sounds good or it helps me a little bit, I'm picking that because it helps me perfectly because our situation is the exact situation that Joseph was in, no different exact situation.

And if its the exact situation and G-d is with us we are going to get the exact help that he got. So what does that mean? We're going to get the "ta'weel" because that was the help he got, Allahu Akbar. And it brought him right on up to the top, didn't it? The big Aziz put him over the store house and his brothers had to come through him to get some rations, some provisions. And I believe we heard a warner, not a Prophet I believe we heard a warner saying that a long time ago that the elder brother was going to have to come to the younger brother for his provisions.    So don't believe them when they look at you "brother do you speak Arabic, do you know Arabic? Brother your Imam is missing something thar is very important, no one knows its interpretation 'illalah'", Allahu Akbar, yes Allahu Akbar .


Quran Basic And Allegorical Two Meanings 

So when they come and try to put the spell on you, try to bluff you, stand firm, yes so we know taht the Quran has these two features. Its to be taken just as its written and you can only get other reading from that reading just as it was given.

In that reading is the key for unlocking the mysteries, you don't get the key from somewhere else, the key is there in that reading for unlocking the mysteries and getting the "ta'weel", alright. And it says in the chapter that's most repeated the seven oft repeated double or dual verses.

So if you double them you got 14 right? And we know their only seven, so how are they called 14, how do we understand 14 when it says it own self? Because there is that other reading. And the most powerful key for unlocking the whole book is al fatiha, although all through the Book you get keys, says with G-d are the keys, all the keys in the kingdom, ok. Al the keys are with G-d.


Fatiha Keys Path Is Victor

So there many keys in the Quran for unlocking, getting the second reading, but Al Fatiha is the main key and from Al Fatiha you get the word "Miftah" which means the key Al Fatiha means the action of the key, Al Fatiha this chapter is doing the job of the key, Al Fatih means the victor, listen before you write, Al Fatih means the victor, Al Fatih means the one that has done what was challenging, the thing that was challenging the reader. So Al Fatih has done that.

Now the chapter is not masculine, that's why it is not called Al Fatih, the chapter is feminine, surah is feminine in Arabic so you have to say Al Fatihah, the victor, the opening, that, that is doing the job with the key, okay?

So its repeated so often because it is the key it is the "Miftah" It is the for unlocking the mysteries in the Quran. And the learned Imams especially those in Pakistan, they preach in their Dawa that Al Fatiha is the essence of the whole Quran. That means if you could condense or exgtract fron>the whole Quran its essence or its purity from beginning to the end, the Quran would be a picture of that, Al Fatiha is that essence, yes.

...the essence of the whole Book and that's why we are to recite it so often, it purifies us, it cleans us, it strengthens us, it purifies us, opens up our minds, it brings our hearts in the proper relationship with our G-d. And therefore it serves our brain more than anything else, more than any other reading, Al Fatihah, yes.

So it is the victory and it is the victory, Al Fatihah, we do this some other time, we'll do some discussion of Al Fatihah some other time, which we have done some time in the past too, we've already done some discussion. We'll do more in the near future en sha Allah, lets get back to what we were saying.

So the reading is two and only Allah (swt) can give us the second reading, no one else and Allah (sst) never give ordinary people like us, warners, never gives us that except through one of the key figures in His Plan. We've gotten it from Muhammad (pbuh), that's how your Imam, my Imam too has gotten it, from Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). Now where is the connection? We said connections are most important, ok after I go and clear up the symbol, Kabah and Qiblah we're going to come back to this connection.

So you remember where we stopped, we stopped at this place, we need to come back to this place where we are in our language expressions, teachings to Muhammad (pbuh) as the Seal of the Prophets and to Muhammad (pbuh) as the Messenger of G-d. And by Seal Prophets, means last Prophet no more Prophets after him, Allah (swt) gives us no more Prophets after him.    And to Muhammad (pbuh) as Allah's (swt) servant and Messenger (pbuh) and to Muhammad's (pbuh) universality we have to come back to that.


Comment:
Brother Imam before you go to that as you walked out you left us with a question, how is it that what the Prophet (pbuh) gave us was in the Scriptures before, that's the last thing you said.


Imam Mohammed:
Yes, thank you,  that's where we are right now and when we come back I'm going to come back right there, thank you very much, that's where we are right now, yes, ok.

Q. 18.110; 1 am a mortal like you

"Say: "If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord even if we added another ocean like it for its aid."

John 14.20; I in you and you in me

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

John 16.25; I speak in parables no more

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs (parables): but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father."

So how do we make connections? Lets go to the Kabah first as a symbol then we make connections and when we make the connection we want to make the connection with this saying of the Prophet (pbuh) as it is found in Scriptures that came before, yes. But first let us look at the Kabah, we say and we didn't finish it, but now we will finish that too, we say our statement of our firm conviction, our shahadah or we may say our shahadatain. Statement of our strong conviction is number one firstly in order of importance:

1. "Allahu rabbi", say it, yes, shaddah is on the "B", rabbi; Shadda means hit it with force. "Allahu rabbi", right. " AL Quranu ketabe", we understand my Lord, right? All of you should understand that I said G-d is my Lord and then next I said Muhammad's (pbuh) is my Prophet, you hear what I said?. My Prophet, Muhammad's (pbuh) is my Prophet "Basharum mithlukum" , my mortal life has been given a Prophet for me form G-d, the same G-d Who gave my mortal life has given me a Prophet in my own mortal life. He has given me a Prophet and he's the Seal of the Prophets, the complete on. So you should say that now with more love and enthusiasm, with more gratitude in your soul and spirit. "Allahu rabbi, AL Quranu ketabe", Muhammadun Nabeye" .   Oh you register it fully this is so wonderful.

My own human form has been evolved by G-d to its completion and I'm to see myself now not only in the me that I am here in this small insignificant person, maybe in insignificant person, yes in the long run the insignificant person. Not to see myself just in this little person, but to see myself now in Muhammad (pbuh). For G-d has completed me in Muhammad (pbuh) that's what we are to understand, I'm giving you exactly what wants the Prophet (pbuh) want you to have, Muhammad (pbuh) wants you to have what I'm giving you and G-d wants you to have it that's why G-d said to Muhammad (pbuh), "Muhammad (pbuh) say to them "Qul ana basharum methlukum", was that the first time that was said?   Jesus Christ a sign of the end of things, the beginning and the end of things.

Jesus Christ said in the Gospel "I in you and you in me". Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) was guided to say it clearly so it won't be any doubt what the Prophet Jesus was trying to say to his people, that we are all mortals, we are not any god. I'm a mortal human being just like you. The Prophet (pbuh) didn't want to bring any disturbance to the Christian leadership in the Christian society.

So he was such a kind and loving man, he didn't publish that to tell them what the connection was, he didn't tell them that, "this was said to you before in these words" 'I in you and you in me'. But now I say it to you plainly, you making connections? Don't forget I told you the most profitable thing is to make is to make connections.

Now I say it to you plainly, a clear warner saying it to you plainly, the first one came giving parables but he said another one would come later giving it to you clear plain language. So here is the clear warner giving it to them clearly and G-d tells him what to say. That tells us Muhammad (pbuh) was not looking for any praise or credit for himself that was not his nature, G-d had to tell him say this to them, make the connection so that they will know that you're the man. I am a mortal person just like you. So you will explain to them what was given to them before that they didn't understand and also show yourself very clearly to them so that every human person who respects what I have given you for them will see their dignity again and be liberated as human beings. That they are not hopeless creatures, that their creation is not weak and doomed to fail, or born in sin and doomed to sin.

So they will know that all of them, all of them in their human nature that I created is just like you, not angels, not jinn, same creation you are. And when they see that they will rejoice, they will see a liberation that they have been waiting for in their souls since I created them. A liberation that says to them that I am human but in my complete and perfect form G-d intended for me I am Muhammad (pbuh), you get it?

Muhammad (pbuh) was saying what Jesus said "I am a mortal I'm in you, you have this mortal in you, that mortal came from Adam our father, you have this mortal in you, but he said I in you and you in me. Now because G-d has raised me up to this excellence, you now look tome to see yourself.

Q. 33.21; Example best Prophet for whoever believes

"Ye have indeed in the Apostle of Allah a beautiful pattern of (conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day and who engages much in the praise of Allah.

And that's what G-d says "and He has given you "uswatun Hasanatun, most excellent model that you have in Muhammad's (pbuh). You are to emulate Muhammad's (pbuh) character and behavior as much as you can because G-d says Muhammad's (pbuh)is a mortal like you, meaning that he's not too much for your to follow all the way.

No, I have given you a mortal just like you, this is no spook, no dreamer, this is no ;pious spook, this is no angel, this is no jinn, this is a mortal creation, this is your creation. I created you just like I created him, but only you are limited, why? Because all of you can't be equal because all of you will not even make same effort to better your condition, all of you can't be equal.

Q. 39.4; Allah (swt) want son choose from what already made

" Had Allah (swt) wished to take to Himself a son He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah (swt) the One the Irresistible.


Muhammad Chosen Because Perfect 

Now I have given you a perfect one, whenever He wants a son He picks one from among those He has created. Now He had created Muhammad (pbuh) and Muhammad (pbuh) was in his excellence and perfect before G-d called him. And that is why G-d called him because he was perfect and complete, so G-d called him to be the last Prophet with the universal message for mankind, Quran, okay.


Mentors For Young Like Prophet For Humanity 

Now and you have in your nature, in your nature is a hunger, a desire to be perfect and complete. You haven't got there but one of you has got there and I want you to see that one so I give you Muhammad (pbuh) as a "uswatun hasanatun" for any who believe in G-d and the Last Day. That mean it can be a Jew, a Christian, anybody who believes in G-d and the Last Day. Here  I have given you what your souls were created for, the perfect and complete human person. So you emulate this person. And if this is not in accord with the best of civilized society thinking, why do they want mentors for everybody now?

And the government will even give money to help you find mentors for you, that tell you they want everybody to have a mentor, not just you, but you need the mentor the most, because they are in bad shape, yes. All of us are suppose to have a mentor, the mentor for the Christian I think that's what they call it mentor?  the mentor for the Christian is Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, the mentor for the Christian for everybody who believe in G-d and the last day is Muhammad (pbuh).


Kabah Symbol

Now getting back to the Qiblah and Kabah then we're going to come back to Scripture please remember where we are, were we are to come back to, that place I mentioned we're to come back to, ok.

We say Muhammadun nabeye, we say Al kabatu Qiblate, the Kabah is my Qibla its personal brother, the Kabah is my Qibla, yes is personal from the beginning to the end. Allahu rabbe, is personal so don't you try to impose your Allah (swt) on me, because I have my Allah (swt) and that's the One that made me and created everything and its personal brother. I'm not going to give up my Allah (swt) for your Allah (swt), yes.   Allahu Rabbe, Allah (swt) is my Lord, its personal. Al Quranu ketabe, the Quran is my Book, that's personal okay Muhammadun nabeye, Muhammad (pbuh) is my Prophet that's personal also. And Al Kabatu Qiblate, personal, don't forget that because some of us hear the Christians talking about their personal savior and everything and some of us really long to have that kind of personal relationship with our G-d, "they got a G-d and they say its their personal savior, that sounds so good". You just haven't been taught enough, Allah (swt) is your personal savior.

Allahu Rabbe, Al Quranu ketabe, Muhammadun nabeye, Al Kabatu Qiblate, thank you very much got a feminine on it Al Kabatu Qiblate both has feminine okay because this is home base, its feminine, that's right. Anytime that I make a mistake you bring it to my attention like the brothers are doing, that's what you are suppose to do. Say Allahu Akbar, Subhana Allah or whatever that will make me aware but if you just correct me that's fine, no problem, okay.

Q.3.96-97;   Kabah for all people

'The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings. In it are signs manifest.


Kabah Symbol Of You True Social Nature

Now, Al Kabatu Qiblate, so here is this house is also Al Bait, that's another name for it Al Bait it means the house and Allah (swt) says that this house is "awwala bayten" the most ancient of houses or literally translated the first of the houses "buneya len Nas" built or constructed for all people. So you see the universality here? The 5th pillar of our Religion Al Islam is the pillar of our unity, the unity of the human family and it is also the pillar standing, I mean the symbol standing as a message giver, there is a message in it. It is standing as a message giver and its message is that this is the original social nature that G-d gave Adam when He created Adam; therefore it is your true social nature. And it is the social nature that brings us, puts us first in a family picture, the social nature, first shows mankind in a family picture, that's the first picture of the social nature of man.

And that social nature is evolving, that means its growing, its progressive, it comes as a baby. I was on Mount Arafat and I was invited to speak, this is years ago. So I spoke and when I said "that when I see the Kabah and the black stone that we touch", I said "I see us as a baby". And one of the learned ones there, his son also was a learned one, but the father stood, old man stood, he stood up and he said "Imam Warith Ud Din" I don't think I was called Imam then, he said only "Imam Warith Ud Din".

He said "Imam Warith Ud Din" is going to be the leader of all the Muslims in America", that's what he said. I came there really I wasn't your leader yet, I wasn't the leader of all of you yet, but that's what he said.

He said "Imam Warith Ud Din" , he was telling them, telling all the big chiefs on the mount Arafat he said He said "is going to be the leader of all the Muslims in America" and you know how they responded? Enthusiastically in support of what he said. So they saw something before I saw it and before you saw it, you who believe that I'm special for you, yes. They saw it before us, praise be to Allah (swt) and I see it now I don't particularly have any interest in it my nature is not for that but I have to bear witness I find no other person that I know of in America that can step in this position and not let the position down, ok?

I don't see it yet, 1 pray Allah (swt) I will see it someday before I die but I don't see it yet no where, don't even come near, I'm telling you, I'm not speaking from myself now I'm speaking for us, for our knowledge, no one comes anywhere near. And if it was one I would see it, if they were known I would see him, you bring me the one you think does, let me see him, maybe he's the one, I don't know I'm ready to turn this over to him if he's the one. G-d knows I don't want to carry a burden unnecessarily.   I'm happy enough with my Lord and my family and my friends, you all, just as your friend I don't have to be your Imam, that's right. If we got a better one I'll be your friend behind him that's right and I'll have more time for my family and for my friends, we'll be discussing how to best help him, the better leader, that's right I'm serious, okay, now I have to go back.

Q.25.63; When ignorant address them say peace

"And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility and when the ignorant address them they say "Peace!"

Kabah as symbol, right? Kabah as symbol that's where we are now, so it says the first house the most ancient houses or the first house built for all people, you can't keep a white man out of this, G-d says for all people; "oh, but he ain't people, he's grafted", ok "Edhaa jaatabahumul jaaheluna qaalu salaama" peace to you and you keep going your way and we'll keep going our way" G-d says when you meet the ones who are and they are set in their ignorance say to them "peace", that means let them go in their way, but you part from them and go away from them staying in your way, ok, yes, alright.

So it is the most ancient house so that's its universality, it is that it is for all people, that's its universality, it is for all people. It is built for the common human person, or the common human mortal, or the "Basharun" that's in us and in Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) and in all human beings. So it is a house for all people. So what better house could be given to mankind than the house that's in accord with and established upon the pure and original potent, powerful human essence and human nature. That means this essence hungers for something, this essence wants to become more, better and more that G-d created. Its just as G-d created it so what better call is there than the call that calls all people to come to the human plan for the social life that G-d created. And the plan is given from the same One that created it, what better call can there be? No better call, that's the call of Al Islam.

Q.21.62; Abraham asked by worship idols can't talk
62. They said "Art thou the one that did this with our gods O Abraham?"
63.  He said: "Nay this was done by this is their is their biggest one! Ask them if they can speak intelligently!"

So the house is a house built for all people and the house is a symbol of the unity of all mankind, all people, that we're one human family. That's what the house says to us in its message when we know the house as G-d revealed it, G-d revealed the house.    Abraham and Ishmael in Arabic language, Islamic language Ibraheem and Ismail, his son peace be upon both of the Prophets, built the house. And understand Ibrahim he was the chief engineer not Ishmael, ok, don't forget, don't think the two of them built the house, don't think they were equal, one was father the other was the son, one was chief engineer and the other was his assistant.

They built the house peace be upon them and Prophet Ibraheem was hungering in his soul for guidance "I want to serve all people", understand that this man was put and peace be upon him, no slighting him is in my heart when I say this man, no. This marvelous man, Ibraheem the Prophet peace be upon him, he was hungering in his soul for G-d to help him, guide him so that he would be able to build a house that he felt that G-d would approve for mankind, not for any race or nation, no indeed. Where is the evidence to support what I'm saying that he was not doing it for any particular people or race?

Before G-d called him before he got in touch with G-d he had already rejected his own nation because they worshiped idols and he was cast out, because he rejected their worship of the idols. He taught them but very delicately, look how skillful he was, his father said "Ibraheem", speaking to his son now, his son was young too, he was not in manhood yet.


Ask Biggest Means Question Your Own Logic 

He said "Abraham did you break this idol?" Abraham said "ask the biggest one", they had more than one idol they had many idols. But they had one idol bigger than all the rest he said "ask the biggest one". He's teaching his father even though he's still a boy he's teaching his father, he said "ask the biggest one" means question your own logic daddy.
You asking me did I break one of these gods, one of these gods is suppose to tell you I broke one of these gods and certainly the biggest one should be able to tell you.

So the old man was insulted, it was an insult to him, he knew those idols couldn't speak, but that was his way of reaching the dumbest of the citizens. He reached the dumbest of the citizens through the idols, to get them to believe in a Supreme or Higher Reality. Oh, "how do you know this, you stay on the Quran and the sunnah." I am on it I hate that I have to keep coming back to it to defend my position.


Q.39.3; Idols Use To Bring Close

"Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.

In the Quran the challenge is put to those who worship idols says " you say that they are a means for communication, which meanings they are not the communication it self but these idols are the means for the communication, that is what is given to us in the Quran. Meaning that we know that we can't speak to the idol itself and the idols answer us and everybody hears it. But the idols have a way of secretly and quietly communicating to us from the living G-d, the communication is coming to us through the dead god, can't you see more? Can't you see on this side too? Ok so that's given in the Quran letting them know, we know look this argument is not about clay vessels this argument is about "your logic". You got people turning to clay vessels and thinking that these clay vessels have supernatural powers and you know better. You're giving this to your ignorant masses, but you know better . G-d revealed that this has to stop.

So G-d has revealed to the Seal of the Prophets that this has to stop "La elaha illalah" and no idols you got to destroy these, get rid of these idols this has to stop. Now don't think this is a naive, stupid person, unlearned person that's telling you to give this up. We know how you perceive these idols, you learned teachers and you bosses and we also know how your common public sees these objects. You got them spooked up and you're holding them with the power of the objects, so you're denying them direct access to their G-d and the guidance.

These are your dead, these are your dumb, these are your deaf, dumb and blind and G-d has comes to give them life, to give the eyesight back, to give their hearing back, to give their speech back to them. They are not to be made Dumb idols serving your dead idols. That's the argument. Now is that not a liberator? That's why is said that Muhammad (pbuh) is given in the Torah and in the Injeel and Muhammad (pbuh) he's the one mentioned as a liberator in the both the Torah and the Injeel. And Muhammad (pbuh) is
one who comes to break every bond of slavery that takes us from our G-d, Who is our only Master in terms of us obeying Him without any reservation. A slave is to obey his master without any reservation. That's why Bilal was punished for believing in something that his slave master didn't approve. You're suppose to obey your master that's the condition, when you accept to be the property of another man called master and you're his slave, you are to obey him without any reservation.

Don't tell him "well I have to go see my wife, I have to spend some time with my wife", he'll tell you "bring your wife here I have to spend some time with here. Now you get your a.s.s. out there and do what I told you to do, yeah that's how he'll speak to you, especially in the slavery form that we were in called the worst of all slave systems in the south. I've read where the master say "Joe leave I want to talk to your wife" and he didn't only talk to Joe's wife, he went to bed with Joe's wife and then told Joe "ok Joe you can come in now, you be a good boy now" and left.

But don't think that only happened to us, I thought so up until I studied the suffering of the Irish under the English, they suffered the exact same thing was done to them by the English, yes. Went with their women sometimes in front of their faces, so you see how horrible humanity is without right guidance and right rule which is more important than just the guidance. You have to have someone to enforce the rules or the guidance is nothing, it will be trampled upon, spit upon thrown in the streets like toilet paper, used paper or something, yes. You have to have someone to represent that guidance and to stand firmly on what the guidance says, sorry to deep digressing but its important, now let me get back to what we're saying here.


Kabah ankle Swivel ball joints of body 

Q. 76.28; Joints made strong

"It is We Who created them and We have made their joints strong; but when We will We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.

My point was that Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) is the Prophet mentioned in both what is called the old Testament and New Testatment today but in its pure form the Torah and Injeel called the Gospel. And my point is that Muhammad (pbuh) is given in Scripture in the Bible and not just by that reference, that's to connect him directly and that's more aimed at the people o f the Book.. To tell them "you may reject this man but here he is right in your own Book. But there are other connections too for Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).


Kabah Means Connection, Joint Ankle 

And the Qibla, the Kabah is our Qibla, means our direction we orientate us to it, how we stand and how we direct our self, is to it, to tie us to it. So actually we're tying ourselves to it, aren't we? When we make it our Qiblah we tie ourselves to it. And the word Kabah means ankle but it can also mean any joint for things being connected so that they will perform in unity, perfectly with ease.

Because ankle, the human ankle is a swivel and you who work mechanical jobs like I have, I've done mechanic jobs and some of you have done just work around the house, you know what a swivel is. Most of you working men should know what a swivel, okay.

A swivel is ball and its not a swivel by itself, but when other pieces connect to it and allow it to rotate freely while they remain rigid, you have a swivel. So the ankle is a swivel, but not only the ankle is a swivel, that's why I say not only ankle, everywhere there is a swivel technically speaking it is a kabah, ok? Because Kabah is ankle.

I'm standing now and I'm not in good condition today and you know it physically, I'm standing and I'm standing on a swivel, I'm standing on a ball and a ball that moves very easily. This is a little difficult, why? Because it s not made for me to move around the ball this way (left, right). But the ball will help me even go this way, it has attachments holding it from going this way and this way too much, isn't that something? Am I doing anything that G-d didn't tell us to do through Muhammad (pbuh). And in you are signs and in another place G-d says "but most of you go along paying no attention", heedless, this is also in the Scripture that came before, the heedless, they're going to hell aren't they?

That's what the Bible says and I bear witness in the year 2000 I bear witness they're going to hell if they're heedless, that's a fitting place for them so my Lord says, my Lord I'm taking it personal, my Lord says "they're going to hell.

See you can do this but not as easily as you can do this, you can fall easily backwards and forwards can't you? Very easily fall backwards or forward especially on ice, got some out there, that's why I'm mentioning that, ok. So we standing on a ball without any effort, no conscious effort standing on a ball with no conscious effort and the guy in the circus he shows us he can stand on a ball. He gets up on the ball, he moves on the ball, make the ball move and he's standing on it. And really the audience should know that all of us are standing on balls, yes we are standing and walking on a balls, this swivel.    But G-d evolved this it was G-d not us, we didn't even know how we were being stood up.

G-d created us to stand up so He did this, stood us up on balls, but no one ball, the ankle is one ball, the knee is another ball, the hip is another ball, swivel, the neck you know the neck is, the skull, the bone is on a ball but the neck it is stiff its stiff necked, right? Its mentioned in the Scripture stiff necked, yeah if you just respond to your neck and you ignore what's up here in the head, you're one of the stiff necked and my Lord says you're going to hell and I bear witness, the stiff necked are also going to hell, ok.


Spiritual Holds Up The Body Like Head On Neck

So here the head is on a ball, that's why when you get sleepy you nod, the swivel can't hold it by itself, it needs the spirit to hold it up. Not your mind because your mind isn't on it. It isn't your mind holding your head up it's the spirit holding your head up. So your body is being held up by the spirit not by your conscious effort, stand you up on balls 1, 2, 3, 4 ball, go you standing up on four balls. Now you know if you take the plug out of electricity, fall to the ground just like a limp, right?. That's a sign and in your are signs. Thank you.


Arabic Grammar Imam's Leaders Must Study

Now, connections, so "Rabta" in Arabic is a ball, tie and the language of scripture has ties not "and, wa" which is a tie too you know, "And" symbol in English "Or" "Wa" which is a tie not just that. I'm speaking of ties for meaning and understanding for the language itself. So if you don't study the language well what did the first master liberator say? You will not be successful, alright? So now we are obligated especially you all who are helping the community as leaders, you're Imams, you are teachers in our schools, you are obligated to study Arabic grammar so that you will learn to read and speak Arabic. 

You are obligated to do that, the Quran our Book its in Arabic, you are obligated to study Arabic grammar, Arabic language so you can learn to read and speak hopefully and speak Arabic because the meanings are conveyed perfectly in the Arabic language but not perfectly in any other language. G-d didn't reveal it in English, He revealed it in Arabic and in the best Arabic, "Al Arbeya. Fusha", the best Arabic. So you are obligated brothers and sisters especially you who want to accept responsibility to guide this community and to overseer the needs of this community and to help this community build itself up better and better until it is pleasing to us in our souls and our hearts, you are obligated to study Arabic grammar. There are many jobs now, you can't even have these jobs unless you can speak or know a second language, so you have to get in step with modern times too.

And your first language for you to learn is not Spanish, its not French, its not Italian, its not Russian, its not Chinese, its not German, its Arabic, "Al Arabeya" , that's the first language we're to learn. Your Imam would not be advanced as he if he hadn't perceived that and did his study with dictionaries and did not only study the word in the English but I got the Arabic dictionary and studied the language in its original form Arabic, the Quran I studied it like that.

I wouldn't have never got where I'm going although G-d was, I have to say this I started already although G-d was guiding me to different sources of information and to look at many things, G-d was guiding me. The help would not have been complete and I would not be in the position I am in now to teach you myself as I'm teaching you had I not studied Arabic grammar and Arabic language, the language and its grammar. So I urge you to do that, you got help, you'll spend your time much better doing that than you will
listening to these orientalist thinking they're going to help you finally unlock mysteries. They're going to lock you out of the goodies, because they are for side until you come over to their sided, they're going to show you that they are superior to your side so that you will join their side and leave our side.

Tell anyone of them I challenge them, tell any one of them that Imam W. D. Mohammed says "if you think you're more qualified in Scriptural knowledge than he is he ^ meet you privately, nobody listening but you and Imam W.D. Mohammed and when we come out of the room want you to look at both of our faces. You will know who won the argument or who passed the

tell them to go in private conversation with Imam W.D. Mohammed, my courage is as 
G-d's servant. "Oh you're not G-d's servant, Muhammad (pbuh) is G-d's servant. G-d gave us a perfect servant Muhammad (pbuh) but G-d made all of us His servants says "ya ebaadullah", oh servants of G-d, that's how G-d addresses us, ok . So myself as G-d's servant, slave, myself as G-d's slave is making this challenge, not, Wallace, Wallace is too humble to make such challenge, I know Wallace, this is Imam W. Deen Mohammed talking and Imam W. Deen Mohammed knows Wallace and I have no problem with split personality, these two guys are one and the same. But Wallace is a reference to the guy that wasn't not educated to well and Imam is reference to the guy that has been educated in Al Islam thanks to G-d, yes, ok.

So I have no desire to have any credit for myself or to show off nothing, not a thing, but I tell you, I don't want to name any great leader in the world, but I tell you I bar none. You can write anyone you want to write and tell them that Iman W. Deen Mohammed says that he's not out to force you or change you from your Religion. But he says to us that he wants us to know because we say he's our leader, he wants us to know as his followers that he bars none and dear high pious, supernatural, godly whatever you are he says if you will meet him in privacy, says nobody have to witness but just you and himself. He says he will prove to you that he' more qualified in Scripture than you are, he says he will test you and you will test him.

After the testing is over he said "he wants us to just look at your faces" and he says "he guarantees that your face will bear the look of defeat and His will bear the look of victory. You can write anybody and tell them that, if you want to.

But don't say Imam W. Deen Mohammad told me to write you, keep everything clear and perfect, Imam W. Deen Mohammad said he bars none, so we chose you, we selected you because we thought you were the biggest one.   I heard somebody say "I wish I had you alone" you can have me alone anytime you want, after I finish here you can have me alone anytime you want. We can go somewhere have the brothers get away out of hearing distance and let me and you talk. But you can't leave until two minutes is up, no you can't leave until two minutes is up and I'm going to give you one minute and you have to give me one minute and then I want them to look at our faces.

And you can save yourself here, you can lie and tell them "you know I didn't really mean that I know the Imam is the boss". And I won't say a thing I'll accept that and you can stay among us you just wanted to try something. But you already knew the outcome, you can save yourself that way and still come here like you're doing. In fact you deal with what I'm doing now, deal with this I've said a lot here today deal with it, praise be to Allah and prayers and peace be upon Muhammad the Prophet, we have been saved.

My time is up but I'm not going to stop, I have to go home and I have to do some other things but I'm not going to stop, I'm going to try to get through this as fast as I can en sha Allah by 10.00 O'clock we'll be through or finished, yes.


Connection Points For Logic

Q. 3.7; Quran is plain and allegorical

"He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: in it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical seeking discord and searching for its hidden meanings but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord"; and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.

So the ties are very important because the ties are connection points for the logic, now does G-d want us to know the logic? Yes He does, He says this Book is given in two forms. In picture messages called allegory or whatever they might use, metaphor, whatever term they might use. But for the benefit of all of you who some of you have not had high school or college English so I'm going to use the expression picture language. It is given in picture language and in the plain logic, plain rules of logic.

Those who have disease in their heart or defect, corruption, some poison, some rot, some illness, some poison, some defect in their heart they prefer the picture language over the plain common sense logic, that's what G-d says in our Holy Book Quran, ok. So If G-d didn't want us to have logic He wouldn't put down or show us that the picture language is not as important as the logic He wouldn't say that. We know mystics have become so attached to the picture language, that they have left the logic. And the way they live is outside of the Ummah of Muhammad (pbuh), so we have seen what can happen to even innocent, pious people. Now what about one who has a defect in their heart, you will get Yakub's history, you'll get the white race is inferior.


W. D. Fard Hurt By Colonial Rule In His Country 

"Oh are you saying the master teacher had a defect in his heart?" Yes he did, he so hurt by white rule in his country that he came here and saw an opportunity to punish them with you, with us. So his interest was two and the Hon. Elijah Muhammad made this very clear to us, his interest was two, his interest main was two. To punish white folks, the white race for their racial arrogance and for their crimes against humanity. His work was to punish the bad white man not all white people, but to get to the bad one he just made a blanket condemnation of them. His main aim was to punish the white race for its evils and to embarrass it not only punish, their worst punishment is the embarrassment that he puts on them, that's the worst punishment he gives them, the embarrassment before their subjects.


Fard Stripped And Helped America 

He stripped them, made them naked, put them before you naked and that's a big embarrassment. "Oh he doesn't have us wrapped up in oh glory, he took old glory off of us and showed our nudeness, our bestiality to the members of the Nation of Islam, what an embarrassment. But this is also a help to them indirectly because they are looking at themselves plainly in the mirror, the bad white man. And that's going to make them get rid of the picture of the bad white man.


Fard Muhammad, E. Muhammad Liberated From Racism

So really the master #1 and master #2 are responsible for helping the white race measure up to its human claims and also helping the subjects of the white race come back to their freedom and their dignity, yes and that's a fact. He did not only blacks, he have helped all people on this earth because all of us on this earth were suffering the thing and thinking and feelings etc., imposed upon us by white supremacy. And white supremacy have effected people all around the world, yes .

So master # 1 and master #2 they have been liberators for the whole of the human family on this earth, not complete liberators, liberators from that one thing, the trouble and contusion of race. And I do think they were a part of G-d's work, both of them, a part of G-d's work.

Q. 3.140-141; Punish impure separate pure from pure

"If a wound hath touched you be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

141. Allah's object also is to purge those that are true in faith and to deprive of blessing those that resist faith.

G-d does not only use perfect human beings like Muhammad (pbuh) but G-d uses jinn, G-d uses men, uses enemy, if you have two enemies fighting each other G-d will use one enemy to whip another enemy, that He thinks can be made right. So He'll use one enemy against another to whip that one He thinks can be saved into a position of submission or repentance. Sometimes both will repent after fighting each other, both will see their real problem is not each other but their disobedience to G-d and they both will repent.

So don't think you can go back and talk to your sufi or your whatever he is, magi I don't know what he is , you invisible man, don't think you can go back and talk to your invisible man and tell him "Imam said that Fard the one who brought that big bidah and Elijah Muhammad who gave his people the big bidah, he said that they are in G-d's plan", tell him everything that I said. And the invisible man will not disagree, okay, yes, where were we?


Comment From Audience: Picture Language

Imam W. D. Mohammad

Yes, have a disease in their hearts, okay so G-d want us to care more about the common sense message that reach our common senses, our common thinking and brain. G-d want us to care more that than a mystic interest in pursing the unknown, ok? So don't waste your time pursuing the unknown, follow the common language teachings that all of us understand, follow the language for all of us, the common language of the Quran for all of us, follow that common language. And try to be obedient to it first, qualify first upon the common language and then G-d will help you with the, no 1 want to say "Shubaha" I want to use the Arabic, Quranic term. Allah (swt) will help you with the "Shubaha". Shubaha means it resemblance of something else, it's a resemblance of something else or a picture language for something else, alright.


Kabah Sign Original Social Human Essence 

We've talked about Kabah as a sign, we've talked about Qiblah as a sign, a sign of our unity as one human family upon our original social human essence that G-d created. The home stands for the social life of man, ok.


Water And Blood Community Social And Spiritual


1 John 5.6; Jesus come by water and blood 

"This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."

So we are a social community aren't we? We are a social community and a social community is both spirit and social if its under G-d.
We are a social community under G-d. Therefor our community is both social and spiritual, can you make a connection right away with the gospel? Very good, ss it's the community the Prophet Jesus pointed to, peace be upon him, alright.

Now enough for those two as a sign Al Kabatu and Al Qiblatu, so its enough for that discussion let us not come back to where come and this is to Scripture. To make connection to scripture that came before it.

If G-d says this liberator is in Scripture that came before no one can tell Wallace, I didn't say Imam Warith Ud Deen, I didn't say Imam Wallace Deen Mohammed or W. Deen Mohammad, no one can tell Wallace because I had enough sense back then to know that you can't deprive me of the reasoning that G-d created me to have. G-d created me to have a certain human reasoning, I am not going to give it up for you and just lock up my reasoning. My reasoning is not disobeying G-d, my reasoning has no bad intentions, nobody is going to lock it up, my father couldn't lock it up, Fard, his teacher Mr. Fard could lock it up, you can't lock it up, no one can lock it up but G-d, I have to see that G-d wants to lock it up, then I'll let it be locked up, ok.

I'm telling you to tell you how you should be don't let anybody lock up your good senses, you weren't born to be a mental slave to anybody except G-d, except the G-d that created you, ghat G-d only, Allahu Akbar. See how obedient I am? And its my pleasure to follow Him, he said Allahu Akbar, my spirit says to me, my soul says "follow him" Allahu Akbar.
That's how we should become, become humble and obedient and Allah (swt) will give you much more, praise be to Allah (swt).

Q. 7.157; Muhammad mentioned in Torah, Inieel

""Those who follow the apostle the unlettered prophet whom they find mentioned in their own (Scriptures); in the law and the Gospel; for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil: he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him honor him help him and follow the light which is sent down with him it is they who will prosper."


W. D. Mohammed Read Bible Twice

So in the book that came before in the Torah and Injeel and its still in the Bible in the form its in right now, its still there. There is this reading or this saying that the Quran, Allah"s (swt) Word saying to Muhammad (pbuh) and to us is alluding to. In the Bible I read, see it wasn't accidental that I read the Bible from cover to cover and I said to myself so that I won't be prejudice against anything or so that I won't be interrupting the reading I made a pledge to myself, nobody else, just myself that I wouldn't stop to question it or study it. That I would do that study, my main interest was to study it, but I said "first I'm going to read it without questioning and I'm going to read it as though its not guilty or innocent.

I did it, G-d blessed me to have that spirit, I did it, I read the Bible all the way through and this is kind of revealing too. The first Bible that I read was a black one, it had a black cover and I read it through without stopping to the end. After I read it I had a pretty good idea of its purity, I discovered its purity. There's a consistent line of purity from beginning of the Bible to end and I believe the pure at heart who had to accept that Bible after King James approved it, talking about the King James version, the same goes for the Catholic version. After King James approved it they wouldn't accept it until they knew that the purity, the line, the vein of purity had not been interrupted, had not been blocked, that it ran freely from Genesis to Revelations.

No wonder it took them centuries to finally agree on what would be the Bible, for good the Christian masses or for Christendom, Christian world, took them centuries to agree, they didn't agree readily. Men died, generations died and they were still arguing, what they call those debates?

Bukhari 1#3; Quran squeezed three times in cave

Aisha narrated The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read." The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more.

He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.1 Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?' Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous."


Reading Two Levels Letters And Understanding

Isaiah 29.11-12; Man give book he can't read 

11. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I
cannot; for it is sealed: 

12.   And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

Now how does the Bible come back and address that terrible condition? The Bible says, Old Testament again says there was a man who had a book, didn't say how he came upon it just says he had a book. And I think it says it's a little book and he took it to someone because he couldn't read , he couldn't read because at that time there was a famine all over the world of hearing the Word of G-d, I'm preaching now aren't I? Wait a minute I didn't do that intentionally but I listen to myself, I'm preaching, I'm a Christian preacher now, its not intentional brother, that's their job not mine, that's their profession I don't want it, okay.

So here's the man now with the book and he can't read it, so he goes to someone and he says "read this for me", I'm quoting you the Bible and the person said "I'm sorry I'm not one who can read letters". So he keeps going, he finally comes to a person and he says "read this for me" and the person said "I'm sorry I don't know its interpretation". But he did say it that way, he said "I'm sorry I can't read"   But the first one said it I can't read letters. So that tells you that there are two levels of reading. The first level is the reading of letters which many people could do. But he didn't even find somebody to read letters to him.


Negro Colleges

In slavery and after slavery they didn't want to give us someone who could read letters to us, isn't that right brothers and sisters you know the history? And we had to have our own colleges, Negro colleges, Negro schools, called colleges before they were colleges and before they had college teachers, they were called Negro colleges brave, courageous freed slaves.


Fard Respected Freed Slaves Colleges 

So Fard came respecting the spirit of those freed slaves who established institutions and they themselves had not graduated from college and established institutions and put the name college on them. So he came respecting those giants and the gave us an elementary school and called it the University of Islam, the best we could get out of it in terms of curriculum material, real curriculum matter, material matter was elementary and maybe some parts of it going to college and even the university and even to university level. But those parts were much over the heads of the students. And the students were only being reached by that, that was elementary, hardly ever high school level, very seldom high school level. Bu he called it the University of Islam, see?

He was responding to our people, yes and following them in their logic, said "if you want to get these people inspired to think of themselves and have dignity, you got to give them a bigger reality than they're living in or that they're living with". It was a psychology for empowering our ego that slavery and white supremacy had deflated and made very weak, dead almost, completely dead almost, yes. Great psychology, so that's why I call them master #1 master #2 not because they screamed and hollered, screaming and hollering don't move me I want to know what's in the sound, ok, yes I hope we don't go to Thurhr time. I think we are close to wrapping this up, ok

So I read about this famine of darkness and I read about this book the I reflected as though I was given help by G-d to reflect, wasn't me saying "I want to know the meaning of this", no it was just without me, without my intent I found myself being attracted to the Quran and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). And my mind is saying "this must be a reference is to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Quran. He is the one who could not read and he is the one that is in the time of a famine, a famine of hearing the Word of G-d all over the earth. "Oh there were the Christian and there were the Jews" but the world was not being reached by them. The ignorant masses, the wayward nations were not being reached by the Jews and Christians, even their communities had gone down when Muhammad (pbuh) was born and when he was missioned by G-d.

So seeing that as pointing to this reality that took place in history, an unlettered one as the translator gives it in the Quran. An unlettered one from an unlettered people being given the Book, and it was a book that no one could read and he takes up the Book, G-d puts the book in his hand. The Bible says "he took it up" too it up means more than one thing, take up something means get an interest in it. So he took it up, but we know G-d revealed it to him and that Book that others were not able to read, he read it. But not with ease, with difficulty came the ease.

G-d said to him "read" he said "I can't read" G-d said to him again "read Muhammad (pbuh)" he said "I can't read", G-d said "read Muhammad (pbuh) in the name of your Lord Who created, created man from a clot of congealed blood. Read in the name of your Lord Most Generous. Who taught man the use of the pen" . And Muhammad (pbuh) began reading, yes.

Bukhari 4.651; Muhammad closest to Jesus

Abu Huraira reported I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "I am the nearest of all the people to the son of Mary, and all the prophets are paternal brothers, and there has been no prophet between me and him (i.e. Jesus)."

So we now should understand what Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) meant when he said , this is a sound hadith, that they will come to see Christ Jesus and Myself together. Now we know what that meaning on the common sense level, they will come to see that we are both Prophets of G-d and we are brothers and we are in unity, they will come to see that. That's the first understanding but also they will come to see us in Scripture together, that's the second reference.

Now in my conclusion, are we to look for second reading for the Prophet's language and life? Yes, he said, also what he did is to be seen for its literal, common expression but also for its hints or allusion to another reading. And we thank you and thank Allah (swt) most for our presence here in the month of Ramadan for these sessions that some of you are getting enough out to take care of the rest. And that the rest of you are getting some misery, some pain and some help, may G-d free us all and guide us all through His mercy, Ameen.

Addressing Jesus and mother is an issue that has been with man ever since man lost the favor of G-d, Adam the 1st one and had to repent his actions and be accepted again and be inspired by G-d again. Ever since man lost favor and fell under Satan and didn't know Satan was inspiring them ever since then this issue   sacred empty vessels in which wine of fornication have been put, that has been the issue.

G-d created human to be his slave, G-d is the slave owner Who frees His slaves so that the only slave owner we accept to be slave of that issued started with Adam  the worst time is our own slavery in America the issue come to climax in American in modern world most publicized issued since our doing in slavery. Church leaders took it up.


Jesus Muhammad Sign Slaves To G-D Only 

Q. 4.171; Jesus a sign

Q.50.16; We are closer to man than his jugular vein

" It was We who created man and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein."

Complete collection Hadiths 2p243#852; 

No veil between Allah and man

Buraida ibn 'Abdullah from his father he reported the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Not for anyone but when he addresses his Lord, there is not between he and his Lord a veil."

What this great message is coming through Jesus as science and Muhammad (pbuh) as liberator, that they be under G-d as master and nobody else. The world leaders thought if they got the upper hand no one could take power from them, they would rule the common people, chose the life for the common people and the common people would be out of their hair.   The message of G-d to rule is their first creation is My creation to survive whatever you do their creation, see how you took the whole world, see how Muhammad (pbuh), Mary, Jesus escaped you. They did not have to be taught by you in your world, Muhammad (pbuh) was not in your meetings but I created him to hear what you saying or 1 tell him what you are saying.

There is nothing between the mistreated one and his Lord not even nothing as thin as a thin veil, no partition between the mistreated human and his G-d., G-d does not put anything in way of the suffering person and his Lord.

G-d created the human and he doesn't need the learned world to save the human being. They are not be successful in trying to lock human out of the life G-d created them for. Jesus ends up being the victor, they crucified him but their own lands are taken over by Jesus's followers of that land. The Jews they had to be helped by followers of Jesus Christ.

Muhammad (pbuh) nobody helped him Jews didn't share insight or wisdom with their cousin, but out of Arabs comes a teacher, a leader helped by no one. Here we were in American denied entrance to place help us qualify to compete with whites and now the bottom rail is rising to the top. Colin Powell his people were put in the bottom and are
now going to top. The slaves themselves their lot like E. Muhammad (pbuh) , uneducated, poor language comes my Imam W. Deen Mohammed and who loves science but somehow love to go abroad my father said you're the one I wanted to go abroad. I was not taught by anybody, not Master Fard, not E. Muhammad (pbuh) , he was talking to his ministers. He said Clara we were told to leave Wallace alone.

No Zachariah coming in to see about my mother, my mother said "no, ask him, talk to my son". I'm saying Jesus is a sign and Muhammad (pbuh) is the real thing it happens over again. G-d raise up himself a people that needs help from the people holding them back. G-d comes in the picture and takes over and gives them what they need and the world can't.

You stay with me I'm a leader that can't be intimidated.

Darnell Karriem:
Well Imam you know I, there were several questions and concerns especially with our listening audience we have a lot of people who listen to the broadcast that are non-Muslims and they are interested in our Religion. And a lot of questions come up in terms of our Islamic terminology. First of all before we go with that can you explain to the radio audience about this three day Ramadan session, this has been going on we understand for about 6 yrs or 7 yrs now. So the purpose of it and what we intend to accomplish with this.

Q. 21.107; Prophet mercy to all the worlds

We Sent Thee Not But As A Mercy For All Creatures.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes, Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) of Al Islam and the mercy to all the worlds as G-d said to us in our Holy Book who lived, born in Mecca the country they call Saudi Arabia now was not called Saudi Arabia at that time, just the land of the Arabs. He was born there and he was an honorable and respected , the best of human persons that they knew, that the Arabs themselves knew , although they were not a united people. They were divided along tribal and lines Muhammad was their best citizen and it was well know by all of them, when they would see him, one report says they would say " here comes El-Amin" when they saw him in the distance approaching, here comes the honest and trustworthy one, they would say praising him, not making mockery. It would be praising him, here comes the honorable and trustworthy one and the names that he had before even he became Messenger or Prophet (pbuh) of G-d was El - Amin the honorable and trustworthy and and As Saadiq the truthful one, the one that does not tell, speak a lie. That was his human excellence before G-d called him.

He was called and he became the Messenger (pbuh) of G-d and he started himself the tradition of very concentrated devotion to Quranic studies, the study of our Holy Book and to the purification of the whole human life, body, mind and soul. We give ourselves to intense devotions during the month of Ramadan.

The Month of Ramadan is characterized mostly by the added prayers during the month of Ramadan called the night prayers or the Tarrawih prayers. And every night the Muslims will do extra prayers at least 8 sections of prayer in addition to the prayers that we are regularly doing if we're able to do what is asked of us in this Religion in terms of making prayers.

Ramadan Sessions Purpose Leaders Meet Study 

What we're doing has to firstly be seen as the tradition of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) this is his tradition, his sunnah, his way and we also take time out in this month with the leaders, if we are leaders. Leaders should take time out to sit with other leaders and devote themselves to reading Quran, studying the Quran, recalling the life of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of Al Islam the universal Messenger (pbuh) and discussing his life so that we increase our knowledge of Quran which is our number one source of information and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) the number one man or person that lived, showed us how to live that information, the Quran, how to live the Quran.

Al Hadith 3.p410#579; Prophet Character is Quran

Sa'ad Ibn Hisham reported that he went to Ayesha and asked "Oh mother of the Faithful, inform me about (the) character (of the) Prophet (pbuh). She said "Do you not read the Quran? " Yes, I replied. She said 'Then surely (The) conduct (of the) Prophet (of) Allah is the Quran.

His wife said of him, Aisha may G-d be pleased with her, saw him as the Quran living and walking among the people, that's the way she saw him. As the Word of G-d living and walking among the people.


Arabs Nation Of Islam Had Materialism No True Belief

So we follow his tradition and we have the community here that is very much like the community that the Prophet (pbuh) had to awaken to Al Islam. The Prophet (pbuh) awakened the community to Al Islam that did not believe in a spiritual future for their existence, their resurrection. And they were based in what you call naturalism, nature and naturalism, so they respected only what was natural. They were not people of Scripture they were respecting the material reality and what's natural for human being.

Hunafaa Means Upright Best In Human Nature 

The best among them was Muhammad (pbuh) and a few others that we believe are referred to in our Holy Book as the Hunafaa which means upright and best in their human nature. And we know that we as a people in America, the African Americans we were discriminated against, made slaves of and then later discriminated against in our country and we know also that many of us were black nationalists, we responded to the bad treatment by saying "we should have our own nation" so many of us were black nationalists. My father was sympathetic with the black nationalist before he accepted the teaching that he got from his teacher Mr. Fard or master Fard, as they called him which means master teacher or school teacher, head master. But we took it to mean something else too.

We came from Christian life and Christian culture into the Nation Of Islam that was conceived, the picture of the Nation Of Islam was given to us by the teacher of my father Mr. Fard spelled F.a.r.d. And we left the Christian life and the Christian culture, Christian spiritual and Christian culture for a new life   under the Hon. Elijah Muhammad and for sure under his teacher that we thought was G-d in the flesh, because that's how he was introduced and that's how my father accepted him.

We in that new mine did not believe in a spiritual future without a material body, in other words we didn't believe in a hereafter, a resurrection of dead people that died physically. So we were very much like the Arabs were that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came to, alright, that's true.

Jewish Sadducees Not Believe Hereafter

Matthew 22.23;    Sadducees not believe hereafter " The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

This was no new thing for the Arabs, The Jews, the Sadducees, I believe did not believe in a resurrection after death, all the Jews didn't believe in a resurrection back there and many Jews now don't believe in a resurrection after death, they don't believe it like Christians and like others.

We came from Christian life and Religious life and came into that idea, where we did not believe that G-d could exist without a material body. And the proof that the Jews believed that, is in the Quran, am I talking too long or too much? Like Muhammad my little boy he was only 6 yr or 7 yrs old I was going out and I saw a burden on his face I guess he was saying "daddy is going to talk, I'm going to be in misery sitting there listening to him for hours." He said "daddy don't talk too long" I said ok son, then it looked like he felt sorry for me, his little face showed sadness he said "daddy talk long and talk short" . So that's why I'm asking you, he made me sensitive, am I talking too long? And the looks of this audience and the spirit here seem like we got all day with you.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Thank you, but I respect the program.


Darnell Karriem:
If you are just giving us the greeting, it was worth us coming out here for you to say As Salaam Alaikum, that was worth it.

James Brown affected by Al Islam


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Well I'll say that to you many times, praise be to Allah (swt) that is praise be to G-d, we thank G-d, so let me continue then because we're on something that's very important for African Americans, not just African American Muslims. Because African Americans like James Brown, the king of soul had been affected by this new mind of the Nation of Islam's people. Not only us but non-Muslims have also been affected by this new mind. So its very important that they understand what happened, what occurred, what transpired. And what occurred more importantly to bring us out of that mind back into a normal human spiritual mind.

So that's what we're talking about and we're comparing our life and transformation to that of the first Arab who heard Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) and how they responded to his word, his message from Quran and they responded to it first with surprise "what is this strange stuff. You are our best citizen, you are our best son of this Arab people and you're coming here with this disturbing us like this?" That was their first response but as they continued to listen they began to hear and understand what he was saying and he gathered to himself some of the best of the people that existed on the continent, on the peninsula of Arabia at that time.

Bnkhari 4.593; Best now were best before Al Islam

Abu Huraira reported the Prophet said: Then you want to ask me about the Arabs' descent?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Those who were best in the pre-Islamic period, are the best in Islam, if they comprehend (the religious knowledge)." 

And I want to say Muhammad (pbuh) said of those people that changed, transformed and started following in the way of human spirit on the pattern G-d made for it, He said "you who are best among us now you were best among us then in the days of ignorance". And I just want to say here's another parallel, we have with us, you and we have Imam Ilyas from Nashville and we have many others.

We have Imam Plemon we have many others here, we have Abdul Karriem Hasan, we have Yusuf Saleem of Washington, D.C. and I can go on and on we have brother Bilal of Maryland, Baltimore, I'm looking at him right now. Imam Bilal and many others here today and we have Sultan Muhammad also of Washington and Baltimore area the great business man like my father only he had more education and more lime to devote himself to business so he became a much bigger business man than my father ever was, we have him here and we have many here and I can say to you, females and males who are here I can say to you just as Muhammad (pbuh) said to those people then that "you are the best now and you were the best back then."

So we see a parallel of life and I don't think its an accident that our life parallels the life of the materially rooted Arabs that Muhammad (pbuh) had to bring into spirituality and into believe of a spiritual reality for themselves. That their spiritual reality was higher than their flesh reality, he had to bring that to them. And we had to do the same thing after the Nation of Islam's teachings. So it looks like somebody said "these people in order to be helped that's not satisfied with America and not satisfied with the white man's rule, because that's what he was attracting, he attracted people who weren't satisfied with our life in America.

We were pretending to be black nationalists and not satisfied with the white man's rule over us, that these people are not satisfied with their life in America, not satisfied with the white man's rule over them and not satisfied obviously with the church though they are strong church people they want to make a black church, they're looking for a black Church. So "I'm going to accommodate them", that's the teacher of my father "I'm going to accommodate them".

Blacks Need To Be Put Back In The Earth Then Spiritual

Said these people need to be put back in the earth so they can come up all over again from the earth. They will have to be put back into the material earth so they can be born again out of the material realm like the Arabs were born out of the material realm, reality into the high spiritual reality when Muhammad (pbuh) called them to faith and to life. You see yourself now brother?

Mukmud mis-pronounced form of Muhammad 

And you know we didn't even know how to pronounced Muhammad we called it Mukmud until I was about 14 yrs old I was Pronouncing my name Wallace D. Mukmud and thought I had it right, anybody said anything different I say "they're just ignorant". That's how strongly we believed in what we were taught in the Nation of Islam.   My name was pronounced Wallace D. Mukmud, my sister's name was Ethyl Mukmud, Lottie Mukmud, Herbert Mukmud, Emanuel Mukmud, Nathaniel Mukmud, luckily Akbar he was young he can't remember much Mukmud Muk and mud brother.

The audience out there they're excited they are so attentive this strange stuff would certainly hold somebody's attention, I'm talking too long now.


Darnell Karriem:
Imam I can't help but to reflect back on our history when we were back in.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
You say reflect I just look back at it.


Darnell Karriem:
Well thank you for the clarification.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
We have a beautiful audience here this audience carries the spirit of Ramadan, spirit of obedience to the Word of G-d and Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh), we have some of the best people on earth right here in this audience.


Darnell Karriem:
We thank Allah (swt) for that too. Of the preparation I would say when we were kids we were fasting you know and we were in school and we were taking Ramadan and we were in the spirit, we had the thought of having Ramadan.

Ramadan fast in every month of the calender year


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes and it so happened that we are fasting Ramadan now, you know Ramadan is not by the Western calendar Ramadan is by the Islamic religious calendar and it moves counter the Western calendar rather than follow with the Western calendar, it moves backward through the Western calendar. And in so doing that we fast in every month of Western calendar and I don't think that accidentally I believe G-d wanted the two calendars to stay separate so the people in the West when they convert to Al Islam or those that practice different way of marking the months etc., like some Jews and others that they would be able to practice their Religion and their Religion would be practices in every month of the Western world's calendar.

So when we started fasting after we changed our way of thinking in Al Islam to the right way of thinking with all Muslims of the world, we began fasting in summer as you remember. So we really had a great test we were coming from a discipline of fasting only in December it was made easy for us. The teacher of my father told my father say "have them fast in December so it will be easier on them very short days.   It so happens now that at this particular time, the time of the global awakening of the human being, the human spirit we are now fasting in that same month December, short day. Its so short until really its gone before I can get ready for it almost.

And I'm having difficulty as you know because of my health I need a lot of water so I'm having difficulty drinking enough water during the night. Even the night seems to go so fast, you'll finish with the day, night comes and its time to go to bed right away, its time to bed. The summer nights are long you know. These nights are very short, time you go to bed, so I'm having difficulty. So what was made to be easy on us and was easy is not easy on me right now because I have too many things to do, yes. So this month is hard too, December is hard.

Should we say Happy holidays to our Christians in our audience? Happy holidays beautiful Christians in our audience.


Darnell Karriem:
And we need to repeat it happy holidays to our Christian parents I know a few that I work with.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
I know all of us work with some, they are everywhere brother.


Darnell Karriem:
That's what we love about you Imam, that one of the parts we love about our Imam he's right on it all the time. There's a couple of them that I know personally, they are fasting with us.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Wonderful and that's not the first time I'm hearing that in fact a Christian lady said "I've learned of your fast" she said "could can I fast with you al?" I said "why sure you can" I said "you can even pray with us too you don't have to be one of us."


Darnell Karriem
All praise is due to G-d yes, you know I like the spirit here for this past week end its been a real good spirit with the people. We been socializing among ourselves and everybody is just happy to see each other and in the preparation of this I wanted you to know that there was so many people coming forward in the spirit because they wanted to this to be a success. And the sisters, there were a lot of sisters who cooked here cooked at home, they worked around the clock some of them got very little sleep but they are in good spirit. And so I just wanted to thank.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
And they would like that under my father weren't they?


Darnell Karriem 
Yes sir.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
The best then are the best now


Darnell Karriem
You know and that's just wonderful, wonderful spirit of people no problem at all.
A brother, one brother he just came from out of town he had his briefcase, clothes with him, two brothers and they came here with their briefcase and rolled their sleeves and said "what can I do?" And they grabbed the broom and vacuum cleaner and started cleaning up hadn't gone to the hotel to get rested yet, they wanted to make sure this was ok.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Same thing happened at the meat processing center, yes we weren't expecting as many people to come to the center as did. So all of a sudden the session is over here the program was over so we had I believe almost half the number that you're looking at now and you're looking at a big number to come there at one time. So they chipped in they said "can we help bag, can we do, tell us what to do", so they actually became the employees working for nothing, employees of that meat processing center there for us working for nothing. They asked for no money and some of them knew their business they helped us and really saved us because we were in a mess, we couldn't handle all that and they did it and asked for nothing.

A brother learned the formula for the egg mate just by doing it and he was seen doing it so easily somebody said "he knows how to do it leave him alone, just let him make the...


Imam Darnell Karriem:
Isn't that wonderful? Allah (swt) sends you help.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes from those you see and from those you don't see, angels, yes believe in angels don't we? Alright then Allahu Akbar.


Imam Darnell Karriem:
I wanted to take this time to thank those people I would say Honorable business people who make this program possible, we have individual people who come forward and they give their money and they make sure that this program is aired. Because I explained to the audience many times that we don't receive any grants we support ourselves. And 1 knew that, that would be more dignity in that if we support ourselves. And we have business people like ______exterminating services, we have Taft Abdullah plumbing, brother Taft has been with us and supporting the station since it started over a year ago.

And there are others too Sultan Islamic center in Milwaukee, Wis and then we have individual Imams like Imam Abdul Ghani of Racine and we have Nairn and Lateefah Muhammad a business pair from Milwaukee they support this station with this money. Imam Elam Muhammad he is from Lansing but we see Lansing / Harvey because he and his wife come back and forth, she is the, Dr. Rasheedah Muhammad she is the professor of one of the highest universities here in this area, Governor State. We have our Muslim Journal, our newspaper and we have individual people who support us here give donations.

Dr. Mikal Ramadan, Efram Bahar Center, the Racine Islamic Center, sister Shukriyah, Eyvone Muhammad these are people who are regular donate, Nafis Muhammad and Rasheedah Salaam, Ameenah Ghani, Baseemah Abdullah, Mahasin Abdullah, Shirley Haziz and the list is long I can read off here for the rest of the program of the individual people who take it upon themselves to send donations to make sure that the ministry of W. Deen Mohammed is aired.

And let me say this too Imam, that we're working very hard I like challenges and an hour to me, and to us is not enough so I'm going to have the same spirit when we first started When I came down to this station me and brother Morocco here, very beautiful brother here at the Harvey Islamic Center, we went down there with no money and we told the manager that we wanted this aired and we didn't have a dime in our pocket. And through negotiations and Morocco is pretty good in negotiating the brother is masterful in negotiating we walked out of there having the station with no money and then the manager was so fired up over it he said "I'm going to give you the first two broadcasts free". Because he wanted us on there so bad So we thank Allah (swt) we're still on the air.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed: 
And the station is


Darnell Karriem
WNVZ 750 a.m. on your dial


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
WNVZ station 750 am on your dial, yes please listen to this station, all of our Muslims and all of our friends please tune into this station not just when we are on. A station that does that kind of kind act to religions people must have other excellent programs. Tune in often to this station please.


Darnell Karriem
Thank you for that and my spirit, our spirit I would say is that we want it on everyday that's what we're working on right now. I don't know how but I have strong faith in G-d and my ability and I don't mind challenges. So I'm working on it being everyday because the message that you have for us Imam and society its worth it.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Thank you and we will certainly love to be on everyday thank G-d for your success always Imam Darnell Karriem and your wonderful supporters, we pray G-d for your success. And that He increase your life in all the good things that you want Ameen.


Darnell Karriem
We make dua' for you too Imam, we always do and I think it most proper that we pray for each other, we should make like you say, make dua'. We pray for each other but we should also in our Dua always pray for your leader in our prayers we should always do that. For good health, good strength, safety, travel we should always do that brother and sister to pray for our leader. And we thank Allah (swt) for you brother Imam.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
And most important you know our way, pray includes the prayer of Prophet Abraham peace be upon him and that prayer of Abraham is fulfilled in Muhammad (pbuh) so we say " oh Allah make Muhammad and the followers of Muhammad as You did Abraham and the followers of Abraham and bless Muhammad and the followers of Muhammad as You did bless Abraham and the followers of Abraham for surely You are most praised and magnified Ameen.


Darnell Karriem
Imam this session three session that we have every Ramadan what are your plans for accomplishment, you intend to come from this?


Ramadan Session Intention To Give Spirit Best Life

W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes well I read a book once by and African American writer "the spook that sat by the door" so what we want to do is give the spook a real material body and bring the spirit in accord with the best life that G-d created for material body. And that's what these sessions are all about. In this global time, time of global community, time of one family for mankind, thank you

Ramadan Mubarak Ramadan Karriem

Ques.
Darnell Karriem:
Now let me ask you a few questions here in reference to
Ramadan our radio audience and they hear expressions as
we go through our Ramadan we say Ramadan Mubarak and
we hear of the term.Eid Mubarak, Eid Fitr, Eid salat.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed: 
Ramadan karriem.


Darnell Karriem:
Can you explain those expressions that we use what it means?


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes Ramadan Mubarak simply means blessed Ramadan some languages like mostly Western languages the adjective or description goes first but many languages, Middle Eastern languages like Latin, Arabic, Spanish and many other languages the adjective comes after. So we say Ramadan Mubarak Ramadan blessed, but when you give it in English it doesn't sound right so you have to say blessed Ramadan.

Ramadan Mubarak means Ramadan blessed and when you put it in English its Blessed Ramadan that's what we are saying, blessed Ramadan and that's our expression of our desire and wish that those that we are speaking to have a most Blessed Ramadan that they receive many blessing in the month of Ramadan. Now where this expression come from Mubarak? Allah (swt) says in our Holy Book, G-d says in our Holy Book that the Quran descended in the night in Ramadan in the month of Ramadan. Descended in the night and with blessings. So Allah tells us in our Holy Book that when the night of power came and the Quran was coming to Muhammad (pbuh) from the G-d of the universe, Creator of the Universe that it descended and it was a blessed night and it came down with great blessings to mankind. There was a descending with the revelation with the Word of G-d, great blessings to all mankind. So that's were we get that expression, from Mubarak. Ramadan Mubarak.


Ramadan Karriem

But you know recently when Years ago I never near Ramadan karriem that's a new expression, never heard it. Ramadan Mubarak is all we heard you know, but now they say Ramadan karriem. And   I think because we're so shocked at degradation of human life and how far human life has fallen, gone down into decay and deformity, perversion, etc, child pornography and all these sickening evils that we're looking.   I think that's why some of the scholars in Al Islam and some of the Imams from the other part of the world hot from us, none of us started Ramadan karriem I guarantee you that. It was started from those abroad and when they see this sickening life they have, they know that term karriem, G-d created every human being to be karriem. It means dignified, honorable, respecting one's self and wanting the  best picture for one's self in terms of morality and intelligence.

So they say Ramadan karriem and I think they thinking of us blacks when they're saying that, pardon me, us Negroes no l"m sorry, they're speaking to us African Americans when they're saying that When they're saying Ramadan karriem, they're saying yes you first have to be honorable in your nature and not filthy and disrespectful and nasty in your language and filthy in your behavior, you have to be karriem first then you will get Mubarak, blessings, Allahu Akbar, G-d is greater.


Darnell Karriem:
Thank Allah (swt) for clarity near the end of the month of Ramadan, this month.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed: 
We didn't get to those other terms


Darnell Karriem:
Oh yeah.

Man Born Inherently Honorable 

Q. 17.70; All Adams sons honorable

"We have honored the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favors above a great part of Our Creation.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
We said Mubarak means blessed, Karriem we explained it means honorable and G-d says that He created every human person with an honorable human nature "qad karamna kulle bani Adam" we have certainly made honorable every child of Adam, all the sons of Adam, that's all people, right? Yes so we believe that we are inherentry honorable, born honorable and we make ourselves not honorable by going astray from the best of our nature that G-d created us with. That's great.

Eid Ramadan G-d Give New Life


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Now you mentioned some other ones.


Darnell Karriem 
Eid Mubarak


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Eid oh what a wonderful word you know, Eid I was listening to a musician playing the little Arabic called Ude and its called Ude because their music is repeating all the time. Til give you one that you know too we could do it together so they called it Ude because it keeps repeating the lines.

And Eid means a repeating and its referring to your birth as a creation of G-d and G-d gives us new life every year, every Ramadan G-d gives us new birth and a new life now isn't that wonderful? We can be born again every year in the month of Ramadan. So we say Eid Mubarak and it is translated Blessed holiday, Eid is called holiday but Eid really means in its meaning it means repeating, having that again, having it again brand new as it was the first time. Eid Mubarak

See he remembers some of the songs and it was repeating all the time, repetition. And you got a beautiful voice, Al hamdu lillah, Allahu Akbar.

Sorry our brothers who come from abroad recently and nationalized citizens of American I know this clapping kind of irritates you but that was our Christian spirit, it just came in we didn't invite it, it just came in and its something from the past that we think is good, it says to the listeners cheers, cheers.


Darnell Karriem:
We have about ten more minute for this broadcast for today first of all I want to take out this time to ask our radio listening audience to send, everyone to support the Ministry of W. Deen Mohammed and we're asking you to send your donations and your checks to  Ministry of W. Deen Mohammed PO Box 1061 Calumet City, Illinois 60409 and that's to the Ministry of W. Deen Mohammed 1061 Calumet City, Illinois 60409

And then also you can get the latest copy of the Muslim Journal at our Harvey Islamic Center here in Harvey by calling us at 333- 1823 or you can call the general office themselves at (708) 647-9600.

Now before we end this program for today Imam because there's much that we can talk about and we are realty enjoying you today, we're enjoying you we don't want you to leave. I was hoping we could have an extension on the program but I know we're in the spirit but the radio is in business.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed: 
That's real.


Darnell Karriem
I can tell you this on a truthful note, the first broadcast that we had it was last year and Imam Muhammad was there and it was a technician he's with another station now but we're still in contact with each other. The first day he meet the Imam the Imam came to the station and after that hour after we left and he got through he told the Imam, he told us "that the Imam changed the spirit in studio". He never met the Imam and that hour changed this man and you'd be surprised I think he's ready to make his shahada, I better call him and see.

Convert Not But Return To Al Islam

Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
En sha Allah that will be an occasion to celebrate, always when anyone comes from their previous life to Islamic life, as a convert to Al Islam, well really we don't, technically speaking no one is  converted to Al Islam, they return back to nature G-d gave us in garden the of paradise, when we were in the garden of paradise in the body of our father Adam, peace be upon him.   Adam in paradise not Adam out of paradise.


Darnell Karriem:
I have a listing here I think everyone has a copy of all of the paid audience have a copy of this itinerary for today and it lists on here I think you will like this package for all of our travelers. A listing of the comtrust distributors of the meat plant that we're talking about is located at 2979 W. 167 st that's in Markham, Ill.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
That's what the license says on the door, Markham the post office says we're not in Markham, says we're in Hazel Crest. So when you write us, you're explaining that.


Darnell Karriem:
On here it says Hazel Crest but it would be to Hazel Crest in terms of the mailing but the phone number for anyone to place an order is 708) 596-6498 and then also you can fax in your order at 708) 596-6381.

Now further information on the progress of this community under the leadership of Imam W.D. Mohammed you can all us here at our center at 333-1823. I have in my hand here a very interesting price list of the new brands of the Comtrust and its available. So you can call and get, we have some new names, Unity brand, American brand, Crescent brand, Sam's brand Ahmed's brand and also Egg mate season mate. And we also have the Comtrust halal brand but anyway what I'm trying to explain here is that this is a listing here of the prices and you won't believe the prices radio audience of the brand that Comtrust carries here so we're asking you to support it.

And we pray to G-d that you all I would say that are present here today have really enjoyed the three days and if there has been any type of difficulty or whatever you might have experienced we apologize for that. And when you're actually giving such an affair, hosting I would say such an affair then its really, its kind of hard just to satisfy everybody when you're dealing with a whole group of people. But we hope you stay has been peaceful and  we pray to G-d that you all go back to your homes with this spirit. And as we say in our language in the Quranic language ' Ahlan was sahlan" that's a good term that we say to each other welcome.

The Imam is going to return in a few minutes and we're going to close out the program for today, but there's so much progress brothers and sisters that is happening under the leadership of Imam W. Deen Mohammed its really phenomenal. Some people had asked the question once that when you have the broadcast of Imam let the Imam, put the Imam's tape on, let the Imam talk. Well when you hear the success of the individual people you hear the Imam and that's important to non-Muslims to know that the Imam is a progressive leader, he's making progress personally but through us. Through the Imam's leadership for the last 25 yrs plus as we say you would be surprised the amount of millionaires that's in the community millionaires since the leadership of Imam Mohammed.

And in terms of the businesses I don't think we can count the businesses that has been established under his leadership. So as we see it today brothers and sisters this is really a blessed month for us, this is a blessed time for us and this is a time for us right now for all of us to just smile and show your teeth. I can't show mine right now that's for my radio listening audience, I'm having some dental work done. But those of you who can show your teeth.

Brothers and sisters listening radio audience we also ask you this is a reality too, we don't receive any grants and without your donations this program cannot be made possible. Even those of you who are here would you donate and help us to keep this broadcast possible? And then for all of you all in your own areas you have the broadcast of Imam W. D. Mohammed, we're speaking to you too, the individual people that come with you that we should take it a little more serious of the leadership of the Imam. This is just not a person that you're putting a speech on, but you let the people in your area know that as we, I think we used the term once "the light is on the light is on" and we have to let the audience know, let them feel the spirit in us and showing more than just a term that we're blessed but lets show to the peoples that we are a blessed people. So we thank G-d for that.

Now we're going to also mention to you some of the calendar of event Imam, we're going to be blessed here in Chicago area of having our classes that the Imam will be conducting here at the Harvey Islamic Center on Thursdays from 6 to 7 p.m and we thank G-d for that. So we're looking forward to that we're going to take our classes the study of our Religion much more serious because that's the whole key, education. And we should take it serious and we shouldn't have it like as a mere expression and I think something about you Imam that we like, is that how you clarified and showed us that it was so important of our Islamic expression like when a person gives the greeting, we just don't say it salaam alaikum you know they get rid of it.

We should say it with conviction in us As Salaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahe wa barakatuhu the blessing and mercy of G-d. And when we say these expressions don't just say it to get rid of it Sallalahu a ley he wa sallaam as you were explaining to us the other day the peace and blessing of Allah (swt) be on our Prophet be upon him and so I thank you Imam and we do to that you made us conscious of the things that we, people thought that was small but its big.


Religion To Make Us Conscious Of Our Behavior

Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes if I may have a comment at the closing just before you close out yes, not just Al Islam but also Christianity I'm a student of the Bible I studied the Bible very, very diligently asking G-d for guidance all along the way as I studied the Quran. And these Religions are given to us to put us in our best conscious life and behavior, conscious life conscious behavior.

Q. 20.114; Quran read not haste with it 

High above all is Allah the King the Truth! Be not in haste with the Quran before its revelation to thee is completed but say "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."

So we are to be conscious of what we are saying so don't rush through, Allah (swt) says and don't hurry with the reciting of Quran, right? Don't hurray with the reciting of the Quran so we shouldn't hurry with the greeting of As Salaam Alaikum you can say Salaamu alaikum that's ok but please don't say slum alaikum, slum alaikum brother, we have enough slum on us we don't want any more slum.


Darnell Karriem:
We have about two minutes left Imam can you give us some words before we close out this broadcast for today? We have two minutes left.


Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes, and that was saying our Lord give us in this life good and Excellence and give us in the next good and excellence and save us from the punishing fires, hell fires of sin. we say Ameen and the Christians say amen. Yes and we say our lord don't allow us to slip back into the bad life after You have saved us from it And give us from Your presence mercy surely you are the Best of the granters Ameen.


Darnell Karriem:
As we close this station for today we thank our great listening audience and the words from Imam W. Deen Mohammed.

...for the public, you have to reach the public with what they also can communicate and identify with you see and that's strategy. We don't want to be Christian spiritual soldiers or Muslims soldiers who don't have any sense or awareness of military strategy.

Ramadan spend last ten days with family 

That means we are in the second day of the last ten days of the fasting in the month of Ramadan and as you know the tradition is Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) gave us this, set this for us, that you see Ramadan in three sections. First ten days, second ten days, last ten days, sometimes the Ramadan has only 29 days as we know, but we see it in three sections first ten days, second ten days, last ten days. And it was the practice of our Prophet (pbuh) to spend time at home with his family during Ramadan.   At least ten days of Ramadan spent in the Mosque with believers, we can do the Tarrawih prayers as you know at home, your night prayers, well all your prayers. Your Witr prayers, Tarrawih prayer all in your home but the men should follow the way of the Prophet (pbuh) and at least spend ten nights of the Ramadan in prayer with the congregation, with the community, yes.

Night of Power

So we are now in the last ten days of the month of Ramadan and so we should be observing the Night of Power very soon and if we want to we can observe the Night of Power tonight which I believe is the 21st and that's the odd night. Tonight is the first odd night, most of the believers observed, its too late for that so anytime we're together on the odd day in the last ten days of Ramadan fasting we can observe the Night of Power.

Most of the Muslims throughout the world observe the Night of Power on the 27th of the Ramadan so I been in that habit myself. So I feel most comfortable observing the Night of Power on the 27th of Ramadan. But if I'm with the Muslims and I'm observing it on a different odd night I'm comfortable observing it with them on that odd night

So we thought we, brother captain Muhammad brought to our attention and we thought we should share that with you, we should share that with the audience.


Sister:
Brother Imam its possible this year, this is the millennium for there to be an alignment of all three Religions because the third night, the night of light for Chanukah is the 24th, we could possible have of sighting of the new moon on 24th, that's also Christmas Eve it could all line up at the end of the millennium.


Imam W. D. Mohammed:
G-d is certainly lining us up I know that.


Brother:
En sha Allah brother Imam I'll take my question after you finish here your session, thank you very much.


Imam W. D. Mohammed:
We have made great progress, I should say G-d has opened great opportunities to us and we are getting the benefit. That young man you saw speaking to me, just left he's a captain in the military and he's also a chaplain in the military and believe me that's a great accomplishment for a people who just less than 30 yrs ago was saying that America is doomed to fall, all white people are devils by nature, they're born devils, there's no hope for them, they, going to be destroyed, America is going to fall, that's great progress.

There's a captain, I'm looking at a judge over here to my left Hon. David Shaheed, to my left we have a mayor, at one time we had about three mayors I think, yeah. So this is a new day, a day of great opportunity, in a society if you want to advance and you have to, if you're believers in Al Islam, Muslims followers of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) if you're in a society you can't accept like a lot of us did 40 years ago or less or more, you can't accept to hide your Religion.

Al Islam Must Have Material Land Presence 

Q.28.77; Seek heaven don't forget your share of the earth

"But seek with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee the Home of the Hereafter nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good as Allah has been good to thee and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief."

No Al Islam was not given to us by G-d through Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) to be covered and hide, put in behind the door, in the closet, in the suit case so nobody in the public would know what you got, no.   If you fulfill the obligation on you, I guess I have begun the session, if you fulfill the obligation on you as Muslims then you have to seek and if there is no opportunity to make your life present on the landscape of the people where you live and reside, whether you are minority or majority, whether Al Islam is the rule or not, if you're going to be true to your obligation as a Muslim, you're going to seek opportunity to put your life on the landscape, yes. You have to put your life on the landscape, that means you just can't talk, talking isn't on the landscape, its only in the air, blowing in the wind.

To have your life on the landscape you have to have what they have, you have to have some land of your own as the Hon. Elijah Muhammad said. You have to have some land of your own and you have build your Muslim life on that land of your own, you see? That's the great challenge and if there's no opportunity for that then you are to work and seek and even use not only diplomacy but battlefield strategy to get your share of this earth "Wabtaghe femaa aatakallahu Ad daral akherata wa la tansa nasebaka menad dunyaa" and seek what Allah (swt) has provided for you the means that He has given you the after life, but don't neglect to get your share of this world "dunya".

And the Arabs have a song "Ad dunya heya, heya, wal eshaa heya, heya" the world is what it is, is what it is and life is what it is, is what it is, praise be to Allah (swt).   This is our time you know, we have to work to make those opportunities if they don't present themselves we have to work to make them. But thanks be to Allah (swt) I said this is our time but not only our time this is the time for any person to get the best of life in accord with the Will of the Creator, G-d Most High.

War World War I To See Who Has The Power, Might

This is the time for any body to get the best of life for themselves on this earth, we know we had three world wars didn't we? World war I was the War to establish who has material power and might, World war I was established, who has the material power and might. And we know it was the war of the nations.

World war II Put Victors Ideology Dominated World

World war II came again war of the nations, that's why its called World war II, war of the nations and that second world war was to put the powerful one in position to conquer the world with its ideology. The first one was just to see who is the power, where is the power how has the material might. The second one was to put the one that would be the victor in that war in position to dominate the world with its ideology.

And we know the first world war, established who was the power, where the powers were the second world war divided the whole earth in terms of ideology. The communist ideology took part of the world and the capitalist ideology took the other part, right?

World War III Is Righteous Against Wickedness

Is there a 3rd war? Yes there's a third world war it's the war of righteous against wickedness, it's the battle of the people of G-d against the ungodly, that's what it is; and now we are seeing the climax of this great war.   See this great war is not announced like other wars, its not in the hand of politics and government, its in the hands of the faithful. So its not announced like other wars but its going on right now, a great Jihad, you think Christian don't have their jihad? Every righteous person has his jihad or her jihad. So this is the war of the righteous and faithful people against the unrighteous, ungodly people who care nothing about G-d and what He revealed for mankind as a plan for mankind's life, they don't respect any of that.

So they are satisfied, "maybe there is a G-d but hell I aint worried about it" so this is the war of the faithful against the ungodly, of the upright against the low life people, that's the war.

Day of Religion

And now government, business and Religion have been united to fight together for G-d and mankind first time it ever happened on this earth. You tell me I'm not living in day of the Religion? What I say I say it with conviction, I say it not backing up, no backing up, I make mistakes, but when I say something inspired by G-d and believe me that statement I gave you all was inspired by G-d.

We're living in the Day of Religion, this is the day when Religion is going to prevail over those that reject the idea of G-d and a life of obedience to G-d, its going to prevail. But its not going to prevail just in us, its going to prevail in all the faithful, well meaning, good people of Religion, yes.

WCRP W.D. Mohammed Vice President

...conference of Religion and peace, now I'm an international president, yes in Jordan the convened in a Muslim country they convened the seventh international convenience of the World Conference on Religion and Peace. Presidents and office heads or official organization members convened in Jordan that was, I don't think it was planned that way that, that seventh convening would be in Jordan, could have been but I don't think so but it was, there in Jordan.

And I was there sitting and I knew that certain big boys, real big boys, yes I walk like this next to them you know, they got all those PhD's and some many areas, disciplines of knowledge. And I knew one of them who was a chief among us, he was not satisfied with my presence and I'm pretty sure he voted against me becoming an international president. Because before I heard the news I saw his face, I'm sitting in the conference and the King of Jordan, the new King at that time, he's still the new king of pardon me Jordan was speaking and his brother had also spoke.

While, I think it was his brother was speaking at this time, Tm listening and taking notes, I got a tap on the shoulder two men together, one was the secretary general, that's the top man for WCRP, World Conference on Religion and Peace, he tapped me one the shoulder he greeted me he said. "Mr. President" and the other official that came with him after he said "Mr. President", the other official said "Mr. President" you have just been approve as international president of WCRP.

Now if you know these organizations, these organizations are not like business organizations, they are not like government organizations, they are Religious organizations and they don't let everything come out into the air that they are doing because they know they got too many enemies that's just waiting to get what they're doing then they are going to attack them. They are going to try to undo what they're doing. So they don't let everything come out in the air they go peacefully and quietly about their work and just publish what they think they should publish and that's a small percentage of what they are actually doing or involved in.

So any way when they did that to me they didn't go in the front and say "we got an announce the son of Elijah Muhammad Imam Warith Ud Din Mohammed from the United States have just been approved for position of International president", they didn't do that. They waited until time for the next session when they were scheduled to address the election of president, that's what they did. And at that session they introduced me and again I saw that powerful man with all those credits, credentials face just twist like fire was on it, like foundry fire was on it. And you know what foundry fire does with steel, changes the form of it. I saw his face twisting all up I said "I'm sorry you have to be uncomfortable like this I didn't impose myself on anybody". And that's the truth, we're living in the new time, the new day.

Globalization Desire In Every Soul For Peace

We're talking about globalization, globalization is what has come about because of the advancing, the movement of universals. The desire in soul of every human being for peace.

You know Psychology that's the term in the language of the world, the term is psychology, I don't know if we would really study what life is all about what's happening, I don't know if we would come up with the same term that the West has for this particular behavior in man's nature and behavior in man and the study of it I don't know if we would come up with that same term or not I'm thinking we won't.

We might come up with a term like "the figh of the spiritual behavior", we might come up with an expression like that I don't know, you know.

Marquis de Sade       Sadism, Masochism 

Behavior Of People Disguise What Wrong With Them.

What's his name; oh by the way did you know Marquis de Sade has been exonerated? Not by us, by them . The press announced, it was in the paper that Marquis de Sade who was vilified is not seen in a different light and that he wasn't the bad man like. And also I'm saying this to support my position and what I'm doing, my direction, my vision, how I think we should go forward in this complicated world. Also long before Marquis de Sade and you who don't know Marquis de Sade you probably guess a lot of you that he was French and he believed in French love and French hate and French pleasures and French pain. And it seems that from the picture of him that's given to us before, seems that he got his pleasure from pain. And the reason why I mention him, because many times the behavior of a people disguises what's really wrong with them, yes. Please make a note there I want to come back to that.

Freud Was A Fraud

Freud the psychoanalyst, I read books on it you know but my mind is not there you have to help me, my mind is somewhere else. But I have to go there for one purpose, I'm not going there for psychology, l'm going there to get support for what I'm saying. His word says he's a fraud, his name says he's a fraud I guess the man said "I'm going to have to use a name to at least let the people know I don't know what I'm talking about", Sigmund Freud, sic them fraud, the man that sic them, Sigmund Freud, put the dogs on them Freud, its funny and it isn't funny you know, Mr. Sigmund Freud.

Now he was respected so highly for most of the history of psychology but only in recently times it has been discovered or told, I think they knew all the time, that much of his theory and his knowledge is not on solid ground and can not be used today.   So it turns out to be he's Sigmund Fraud, its not spelled fraud you know but that's how its pronounced, synonym.

Q.I 5.28; Allah said yes he made man of sounding clay

" Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from sounding clay from mud molded into shape;

Q. 8. 24; Why not respond to that which gives you life 

O ye who believe! give your response to Allah and His apostle when He calleth you to that which will give you life; and know that Allah cometh in between a man and his heart and that it is He to whom Ye shall (all) be gathered.

Jer 44.26; hear the word of the Lord

Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord G-d liveth.

And what does Allah (swt) say in the Quran? Yes He made man of sounding clay, Freud, fraud but they're spelled differently but they have the same sound. Hear word of Lord and live, you ever hear that expression?   Hear ye the Word of Lord and live, it didn't say feel it and live, it didn't say read it and live, Hear word of Lord and live. Allahu Akbar. Hear word of Lord and live, you think Al Islam is when we call the people to the Religion, to prayer to turn to G-d? Why we put both hands to the ears and how come we call it after ear? Ear is "Udhan the name of the call is Adhan and the name of the person is "Muadhahan all from the same word means heed, hear the Word of the Lord and live, praise be to Allah (swt).

Eccles. 9.4; Living dog better than dead lion. 

"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion."

Hayya Al Falah, Hayya Al Falah, Hayya As Salat, Hayya As Salat wa kalbun hayyun Akbra men asaden maiten, a living dog is better than a dead lion, ancient or Medieval Arab proverb that's in the Bible, but the Bible identifies it the Arab Proverb.

Q. 108.1; Kauthar 

To thee have We granted the Fount (Of Abundance).

John 10.10; Give Live So Have Abundantly

" The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly"

Life, I come that you may have life and have it more abundantly, "Surely we have given you abundance", now when you get abundance those that don't like you, they're going to be outraged. But know that you enemy is cut off from all good "abtar". Allah (swt) says and when they hear of you and what you're doing to advance the cause say "they are enraged by it"   G-d says "so let them die in their rage.", praise be to Allah (swt). This is my friend, he likes my style, praise be to Allah (swt), we thank Allah (swt). So I want to come back to that tell me where we stopped, he has it, let one person do it.

Comment:
Sometimes the behavior of a people disguises what's really wrong with them.

Youth 
Rebel Imam W. D. Mohammed:

Q. 99.5; Earth inspired

For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration.

Yes sometimes the behavior of people disguises what is truly wrong with them and you can see this condition in people its more prevalent and more noticeable in these times today than ever in the life of people according to my studies.

You can it in youngsters more than you can see it in anybody else. The teenagers oh they're so full of energy "hey man what's happening brother?" Look like they're so happy but our youth today are the most miserable youth we have ever had in the history of the American people, they are very miserable. But they want to hide the fact their misery, they want to hide the fact that they are uncomfortable, that they are tormented inside. Family they can't have peace with their family, they can't have peace with their peers.

But they pretend to have peace with their peers, they are happy with their peers and that  to tell parents and the establishment, see I'm a man from the streets too originally   I and nothing came to my mind but that street language and I can't say it, not in this dignified audience. Let me see what they say. They're saying to their parents and 
establishment, "we don't need you any more, we don't even  want you any more, we don't recognize you any more, we are comrades, we are peers, we are homies, we have our I peace, we have our love, we have are sense of community, we have our sense of power, we have our own world, we don't want yours any more", that's what they're saying.

But they are saying this from disappointment, serious minding affecting disappointment and they are saying this from genuine human pride. G-d created them for honor, G-  | d created them human treatment, G-d created them to know in their nature that they are suppose to be member of the human family. That means they are suppose to be loved by the human family and they are suppose to be aided by the human family when they need help, G-d has given them the nature to want that and to know that and they are saying to you, "you've disappointed us, you've failed, you don't have no credits in our eyes any more, you are not moral you are cheaters, you're liars, you deceivers, you're hypocrites". They are saying that to parents, they're saying that to government.                                                                      

And we can't reach because we don't know how to read their condition, we're thinking they're bad, they're not bad really they are protestors and their own spirit have made them to protest what has been done to them protest the wrong posture of government and family, they are protesting and you can't turn them around can you? No you I can't turn them around.

And Allah (swt) says and earth behave as though G-d had revealed to her, yes and the earth throws up lava and burns down homes and destroys city and that's what the earth of our youth is doing. Throwing up lava destroying towns, homes, precious property, precious human life, landscapes, yes, this is how you should see this.

Humor For Construction

But not only in youth also in us, I know Imams, because I am humorous, that's my nature to be humorous, but I don't like silliness in anybody, no. Even when you're humorous, you should be building something dignified, your humor should have some substance or some material that you need in the total order for the job to make it beautiful like you want, you know. So you have a little humor. But the humor is not to be taken separately from the work of constructing something, you see.

So if I see somebody just responding to the humor but not seeing the wonderful, powerful and beautiful construction we're trying to make, it hurts me and I don't accept them as one of us. I got Imams come to me "As Salaam Alaikum brother Imam he, he, he, he, As Salaam Alaikum ha, ha, how you doing brother Imam he, he", that tells me he belongs on the funny farm and not here.   But I say "he, he, he, As Salaam Alaikum brother Imam, ha, ha, ha, ha" that's what he understands so I give him back what he understands. That might be the jinn in me I don't know, I can't help it, that's me, praise be to Allah (swt), alright.

So we want to get back to our focus for the sessions and our focus is Al Islam's universality and Muhammad the Prophet's (pbuh) universality and that this time in which we are living in is the best time for the propagation of universality or universals and let us begin now addressing this, at this point in the session under the term peace.

I hope I can do this because time flies, you know and I seem to be a slow speaker when I'm dealing with specifics, ok, alright I think the time   is good we hope to be finished by 10:00 this morning.

Peace Convert not but return to Al Islam 

Our Religion is the Religion of peace the Muslim Religion, the Religion of Muslims I should say is the Religion of peace. But also I can say the Muslim Religion, because actually G-d makes us know with His Revelation to Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) that the Religion of Al Islam is the human property of the human person that G-d created. So you actually, that's why we mentioned earlier, I think it was during the broadcast wasn't it? That really technically speaking we don't have a conversion, we just return to our original nature under G-d so that G-d can further advance this nature of ours and give us the fullness of what our nature is calling for in the depths of our souls, praise be to Allah (swt)

Youth Problems

So and peace is hope of all human beings peace is the hope in every human soul, peace and sometimes, see I'm still on that brother, sometimes we disguise what's really wrong with us and we ourselves misperceive or misunderstand, do not see correctly what's really wrong with us, going back to the youth back to youth, violent, self destructive and we will say "Oh they're disturbing our peace, they're violent and self destructive and its pouring over into our life and our property and making big trouble for us, what are we doing to do about these youth? We have to build me prisons, lock them up, something going to have to be done about them, maybe we have to give them a life style that will exterminate them, something has to be done about them. But we are not realizing that their protest is a protest asking for peace.

Child Becomes Destructive If Ignored 

A little child will get dissatisfied with being ignored in the house it will start breaking up things, start doing bad things, destructive things so G-d put that nature, so if you can't get a response by peaceful means G-d made us to get it by violent means, G-d made us like that, so what am I saying?.

Dr. King Outside Of Original Nature

Dr. King was outside of the original nature, telling people to accept to be beat, its okay as a battle strategy but tell your people "this is not a way of human behavior. This is not a way of life, this is a scheme we got, this is a battle strategy, it's a scheme. Now we aren't going to do this all the time, once we achieve what we want to achieve by these means, we're going to go back to the normal behavior for soldiers", amen. Say let the amen say amen. I read that in the Bible, and I'm telling you I chuckled just like you all are doing.    When I read it, it said "and let the amen say amen", I said "wow", because a lot of times the people who are saying amen are not qualified to say amen. So let the amen say amen, their amen is not acceptable its not based upon anything that knowledge and wisdom that G-d gives us respects.

So I'm sure that was taken from some preacher in the church he was probably preaching to a Christian congregation and he was just fed up with the congregation saying amen and didn't know what the hell they were saying amen to, you know "let the amen say amen", Lord have mercy. Its something I'm telling you this theater is something man and I'm just a constant ticket buyer, oh this theater is so great, I'm constantly buying tickets. Every time the show opens man I'm there, if I know its opening, praise be to Allah (swt).

The Theater Of Life

The theater of life, that's what I'm talking about, Religion is not theater Religion reveals the theater, yes and one of the great thinkers and writers he said the whole world is show, nothing but a show, a theater, the stage of the theater, thank you, the whole world is a stage, yes. And everybody is playing a part and somebody wrote the script and the actors don't know the writer and most of them don't even know they have part in the script, yes, ok.

Child Rebel Because Not Respected Their Nature 

Peace Al Islam is the Religion of peace and these youngsters that are self destructive they are self destructive not from anger, pardon me not from destruction as a motive or destruction as desire, destruction is not their. Destruction is not even their desire, the aim, their peace is disturbed and those who have disturbed their peace have been judged by them and condemned. So their destruction is a protest to awaken in us if we can be awakened to awaken in the parents and in the government leaders an awareness that you have been condemned by these youth for failing their human nature, you have not respected their equal human essence, you've not treated them as equal members of the family.

And I can start right with the parents in the house to prove this to you, "get off my couch". Is couch public property in the home or not? For the family the public of the household, that's the family, the family is the household's public. And every member is suppose to have citizenship rights in that public, the family. Now you're speaking to your children telling them "Get off my couch", your couch, I thought this was public property, " get out of my refrigerator, don't you touch my pot, get your hands away from that pot". "Get away from my stove, take your shoes off before you step on my rug, don't come in here with your dirty feet on my rug, my rug".

The children are hearing this constantly and something inside is just starting to boil and they don't even know themselves what's happening, but G-d has put this in their nature. Something in them is starting to boil after a while they're speak to you disrespectfully, they're defying you and you wondering where this come from. You say "who in the hell is this little Nigger in my house, this isn't the baby I gave birth to", I'm just quoting what I heard in fact I didn't give you all of it" who in the hell is this little ugly head, nappy, ugly, black, nappy head little Nigger in my house. Who is this little m.f." I heard that from parents. " you little ugly m.f. you", why because what they see in that child is a deformity, they see a deformed person and that person have been deformed by the rage that they have build up in that person or child, that's what has deformed that child.

So they're seeing not their child anymore and believe me you are looking at a stranger when you're looking at some of these children that defy you, you're looking at a complete stranger. You can't reach them with nothing that you say, your hugs will only make them hate you more, '"you don't mean it you so and so you" and you're hugging them trying to tell them, you pity them and you want to - "maybe I denied them some love that I should have given them, let me hug him, let me kiss him. You don't know the 2sychology either. So you're trying to help but your help is rejected because you didn't confess, they want a confession from you, confess you wrongdoings, confess your wrong treatment of me.

Q. 2130; World Created In Commotion

"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation) before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

And many of us gave them money, we heard what happened to some of the ruler's children and in the I960's they turned against their rulers, the rulers pardon me. When I say the rulers I'm talking about government rulers, heads of business, heads of great institutions, their children turned against them. For a real parent "this that I have you're trying to give me a substitute daddy for a real daddy by giving me all this money and cars and stuff, sending me to this Ivy league school.

I'll show you what I think of your gift, you're going to see me in the newspaper next week and I'm going to be with some of my classmates and friends and we're going to be in the paper as the people who have gone back to savagery and we are surviving on alley cats not eating regular food. That happened it was in the news, some of the Ivy league students started killing alley cats and eating them protesting the rule of the government and the way of life in America, protesting it. Saying "we can exist without you, we don't have to go to the market to survive, we can survive on alley cats", they were eating alley cats.

So this is a protest, okay. So peace is the most powerful force in the human creation, the appetite or desire for peace, the most powerful force in the human creation. Says and Allah (swt) created the heaven, created the world and the world was in commotion, listen please.

Q.41.11; Come willingly or unwillingly

Moreover He Comprehended in His design the sky and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together) in willing obedience,"

The world was in commotion, the heavens, the skies were all in commotion in other words it was in unsettled state, that's the beginning of the creation. It was in an unsettled state and one translator says it was in commotion, right, commotion when you say the crowd was overcome by a spirit of commotion, it means they became unruly. The heavens were in commotion. Some translators translate it I read it violent commotions, ok, but we know Allah said to them come ye together willingly or unwillingly and they came together willingly not like stubborn man which means the order created by G-d and in order that G-d made for it.

If it gets out of order, the Will of G-d will bring it back into order. And it will happen with the obedience of those things that's out of order, they will do it following their natural obedience that G-d created inside them. They won't protest, they won't be against it, but I repeat stubborn defiant man, he will eventually conform too according to what G-d has said, eventually he has to conform. But he does it not willingly he does it against his spirit, against is will, against his ^go, against his self knowledge, etc., he does it unwillingly.

Q. 49.14; Don't say you believe

"The desert Arabs say "We believe." Say "Ye have no faith; but ye (only) say ' We have submitted our wills to Allah.1 For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey Allah and His Apostle He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."

I guess the statement in the Quran would suffice to show this picture of people, Muhammad (pbuh) was given the Word from G-d says "say to the desert Arabs, don't say you believe when faith has not entered into you. Say you submit." That's unwillingly, that was saying that they accepted against their will, now don't say this is all the Arabs, it says desert Arabs and that doesn't mean the bedouins, don't think that means the bedouin Arabs, it does not mean the bedouin Arabs. It means those Arabs that was so disturbed and irritated by new order that was imposed upon that rather than be close around the Muslims in the city of Mecca and Medina, the city places where Muslims congregated, they went out in the desert, they tend to hang out in the desert. Like some of you will do when I'm speaking, I'll be speaking at the convention you will hanging out where the barbeque pit or where the clothes are being sold you know, you will be hanging out a distance away because you will be aggravated, you're aggravated, you're disturbed in your spirit.

And you just don't like that this is going so beautifully and all those people came to hear what I have to say, so you will stand a distance away, and every now and then you'll listen, because you don't want to miss something that you probably can attack or undermine or something that maybe imposing something upon you and you're going to have to submit to it.

So every now and then you have to listen, you listen a little bit and I see you in the distance walking closer when you think something is being said that going to affect you, you walk a little bit closer to hear. And I see you faces, oh boy your faces are messed up and as soon as you hear what you think you've heard and you don't think there is any more that you ought to be alert to, you slip on back to your station in the market place or near the market place. Well we can't help it we're doing what we think is best in light of what the Quran says and what Muhammad (pbuh) has guided us over here himself has demonstrated to us and guided us to, we're just doing what we have to do brother it isn't personal.

That fighter said in that movie he said "I'm about to give you a donkey whipping", he didn't say donkey, don't take it personal. He had a speech defeat too. And that's what he did he gave him one, was that the name of it? "Harlem nigh"

I mean he gave him one, peace we said you have to be aware that progress in Religion also in life depends on you making connections, don't just see things isolated from each other. See the relevancy see how this thing has a relationship with something else that's relevancy, especially when you're talking about ideas, influences etc. And when a thing loses its relevancy it loses its life force when it loses its relevancy.

So everything is related as Einstein was the one and by the way he also has been kind of demoted recently, say you can't take everything he said without taking it with a grain of salt yes. But he said "everything is related, universal relativity" is the expression from Einstein, universal relativity. And this is what we should perceive as Muslims, what he's saying is true, the universe is one united system, the whole creation, everything. That, that's seen with the telescope and that, that will be seen later in days to come with the telescope and that, that man will never see maybe that's out there in the world and its material just like this, bodies, material bodies in the space.

Universe Can't Map 

Q. 55.29;    Allah every day new work

"Of Him seeks (its needs) every creature in the heavens and on earth: every day in (new) Splendor doth He (shine)!

No matter how far you can go and who can even - now look this is another sign of G-d that there is a G-d, what do I mean by that? It's a sign that we are inferior to something else because no matter how much we develop our human mind, with all the human sciences, with the aid of the telescope, everything, the scientific sight going out into the darkness that even the telescope can't reach. With all that ability we have as human beings that G-d created us with, we cannot map the universe. We can map a town, we've come to map the earth, the whole earth has been mapped, but we cannot map the universe. We cannot even perceive with all science our sciences and scientific thinking, we can't even understand the map of the universe. What is at the end of it? A wall, a cliff, darkness and void space nothing in it? But that's something space is something, there's nothing in it, something can be put in it, yes. And Allah (swt) is putting something in it all the time, says that he is at all time, at every moment He's busy performing wonderful, marvelous act of creation.

Now that was said 14 centuries ago and its only recent in the history of astronomy and space exploration that they have come to the idea that bodies, we're not just looking at worlds that were created, but there are worlds out there being all the time. No small ones but big ones, new galaxies, whole galaxies are being born from a nebulus, that's what they're telling us in science.

From a small explosive body getting ready to explode and they say they have seen it with the telescopes the birth of a new galaxy, they have seen it with the telescope. They have seen the energy body explode and throw out worlds, throw out many bodies like sparkles, like a 4th of July sparkle spray, explosion spray, boom they see the world thrown out from that explosion. That's violent commotion isn't it? And that was said before they discovered it, violent commotion.

Now understand that there are non Muslim scientist that have been studying the Quran one of them is that French man we mentioned who have started to write on this and to say "we don't know the explanation but Quran obviously respects and includes science.

Not only respect but includes science and they're seeing the connection or they are seeing what the Quran is prophesying or pointing to. Not only is this something in the message for your soul, but your material world which is the counter part, the material and non material counterparts. They are counterparts of each other, also bears this same description, these same features.

Abstract Soul Violent Commotion 

Q.41.11; Come willingly or unwillingly

Then when the scientist later discovers, he's not giving attention to any spiritual thing, it's the pious spiritual person who thinks of his own soul and say "yes G-d is giving me the picture of my own soul, the world of my soul. The abstract being in commotion, violent commotion and G-d want to bring peace to my soul     Believer see G-d say my soul in violent commotion G-d bring peace to my soul. And He's saying the same G-d that brought peace to the heavens can bring peace to my soul, Allahu Akbar. That's how the pious worshiper reads it.

The scientist who is not oriented that way that's not his discipline, that's not his orientation so he's way far from this soul business, but he starts to see the world as he discovers the world more and more and the nature of it, he starts to see that a picture of it has already been given by G-d, 1412 yrs before they took up the subject and made that kind of progress with it.

Now you tell me if that's not a sign from G-d strong enough to make you respect G-d and His Word, Scripture, people who live by Scripture.   Shouldn't that be enough to make you respect them and say u I'm going to give up this old mind that I have that maybe there is a G-d and maybe it isn't, maybe there is a hereafter and maybe it is not? I'm going to five up this old mind because this is proof enough for me that there is a G-d." If you are anywhere rational in your good common sense, I'm not talking about educated, if you're just a rational person, you have a mind that works for you. You have a mind that is not crazy, you have senses that work for you, you don't just walk into a dark area that you have never been in before or dark building that you have never been in before, your senses tell you "you need to see where you going, you need light in here. Go back and get a flash light"

If you just have that normal, common human being way of working with your mind, working with your senses, you sense of sight, your sense of hearing, your sense of touch, your sense of smell, you seen of taste. If you're just a common creation, a common person, not educated, no school not even, you can't read but you are just a person with those common senses that tell you "eye sight is suppose to work with thinking, hearing is suppose to work with thinking, smelling is suppose to work with thinking, tasting is suppose to work with thinking and feeling suppose to work with thinking.

Now, nobody needs to teach you that G-d made you to grow up like that, G-d gave you that ability. I f you still have that ability given to you by your G-d what I said to you is enough, now I said people disguise what's really wrong with them in their behavior. So even your behavior of rejecting faith after I told you what I told you is a lie, it's a pretense, it's a put up thing, deep down within you, you are going against your real self. You are lying to us and you are hying to your real self if you say "well that isn't any proof to me that G-d exist, isn't any proof to me this Religion, the Holy Book, I'm not going to believe everything in it, I'm not going to believe in this life after death and all this. I don't believe there's a G-d there is just us. I think the Hon. Elijah Muhammad was right when he told us we're god, isn't any god but man, he was right there isn't any god but man".

You sisters ought to be ashamed of yourself, you are not a man, you're a woman, "isn't any god but man", why you treat your man god so bad sister and you say he's god? Why you treat him better? I'm their friend, it's the best friend they ever had sitting here, right here. I was one of them I know them better than they know themselves, I do. They weren't sitting with the Hon Elijah Muhammad sleeping in his house and sitting at his table with him everyday and doing things that he told me to do everyday. They didn't have that closeness with the Hon. Elijah Muhammad.

So I know Hon. Elijah Muhammad and I know what they have accepted better than they know it, Farrakhan knows that, believe me Min. Farrakhan knows that he does not measure up to me in knowledge of what he preaches, no he knows that 1 know rt much better and he's not ashamed to tell me that.

In fact if he heard me and he was near by he would come right in here and get to the mike and say "yeah" and he would tell you "he's right" say "this is the teacher", he would tell you that.

He has his role to fulfill but he certainly knows that I know that life the Hon. Elijah Muhammad gave us so much better then he. He listens to me to learn how to keep his knowledge going, this is not bragging this is just telling you the truth, thank you I know he is. He said "he's wise to do that", I know he's wise to do that, yes, it's a fool that go away from the better knowledge and accept the weak or worst knowledge. The wise man takes the better knowledge and don't take it personal, its not personal believe me, praise be to Allah (swt), yes so where was I, just at that point then?   I know the main focus, yes.

Earth, Universe Can't Map It

Human Scientist Normal And Foolish Kid 

If you are just a normal human being in normal health of a human being you will upon what I said, if you weren't believing correctly, you will start believing correctly. And what did I say? I said the proof that there is a superior over man is that human being, no matter how much we learn, the greatest of minds, can't map this universe. And they have been trying desperately to do it. No look, just their expensive occupation of trying to find the limits of universe so that they can map tells us there two persons working. One is the mature adult and the other one is the foolish kid.

My mind tells me don't waste money trying to find the end of the universe, just work with what is practical. And if we can with practical means discover more of it certainly we want to do that. But don't put in your mind a perception of the end of it because already I have been overwhelmed by the magnitude of this universe and I know I'll be foolish to seek its last boundary. My common sense told me that I am not prepared humanly, neither spirituality or rationally to perceive the end of this creation of G-d   My own good senses already told me that, so Tm not looking for the end of the universe, I'm looking for how to benefit from the end that I can see. Now that's the man speaking, that's the, no I'm not saying I'm the man, that's the man speaking, that's the mature person speaking, that's the adult speaking. And when they tell us how they're discovering and so excited, "yes we discovered some new things here, we think pretty soon we'll be able to map the universe", that's a kid excited over his own abilities, blinded by the light of his own abilities, that's a kid.

We know because scientists admit, science and scientists admit they can not give any picture of the end of this universe. They don't know where the wall is, they don't know where the cliff is where you fall over there is nothing else, like they found out for the world. They use to believe that if you went so far on this earth you would fall over a cliff, that it was flat like a table, they use to believe this, the world leader use to believe this, the world educators use to believer this.   So don't give these world teacher more credit than they deserve, they use to believe a foolish thing.

A common man can sit out there on the beach and he won't tell you the earth is flat, if you say "how is the earth shaped?" "Looks round to me". So when you go out there
on ocean front and sit on the sand and look at it you don't even have to see like science say "oh they discovered that was round because they noticed as the ship mast
approached the first thing they saw was a mast, not the ship. Saw the top of the mast that holds the sails, and then they saw the sails and then lastly they saw the ship, the hull H|
so that was proof that the earth is round.". They're just giving us a fascinating report of what they experienced.

The common sense is this: you sit on the ocean front the water seems to curve, you don't have to see anything  coming up, the water itself seems to curve in the distance. And the sky above us seems to curve, it seems to be as the Quran says " a canopy" it curves like a crown set on the earth or something.   So it curves, so if I just sit out there, I don't have to be Einstein, I don't have to be any of them, I sit out there and use my thinking and I say "my eyes can only see so far so what I'm looking at in the distance, I told you I'm a scientist didn't I? What I'm looking at in the distance, this is what your scientists, what your science teachers haven't taught you, what I'm looking at in the distance is the limit of my eyesight So my eyesight is stopping not the sky, my eyesight is stopping where I see sky. And as my eyesight goes its limit is the same, its limit does not vary, so my eyesight see all out there in a curve and all of it appears to be the same distance from me.

Q. 21.33; Planets swim in orbit

It is He Who created the Night and the Day and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along each in its rounded course.

So G-d created my eyesight to see only as far as it can go and when I send it our as far as it can go I see the world as a sphere. And G-d made me like that to know that the world is a sphere, "I wouldn't deceive your eyesight, I am your G-d Who loves you, the world is round, the universe is round, space curves. But because of the way I G-d created your eyesight to see spheres, to see spherical dimension and that's when you wake up to the fact that My earth I put you on is round.   I hope you will make a tie, and tie what you experience with what you finally discovered to be the reality and believe in Me when I say I made these sphere going along in space as though swimming? And how does the swimmer go? Science discovered that, that is what the earth is doing going through space, Allahu Akbar.

Head moving like head of sufi pious worshiper Allahu Akbar, subhana Allah, al hamdu lillah, la elah ellah, Allahu Akbar", swimming along, "Fe falaken yasbahun", the words still mean swimming. The Arabic term in the Quran still means swimming at the Olympics, when the Arabs give the report they will use that same word in the Quran for the planets, to say that the swimmer was swimming and he made the distance in so many seconds left, whatever.

Matthew 17.20; Faith mustard seed move mountain

" And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

See when you are perfect in your faith like the Prophet Jesus Christ peace be upon him like Muhammad and Abraham, when you are perfect in your faith G-d increases your faith as He says in the Quran, He increases your faith. Now what is happening for us is the great blessing from Allah (swt) in the month of Ramadan to increase our faith, this discussion is to increase our faith, its not to make us scientists, its to increase our faith. And if our faith is strong as the say ing goes "faith can move mountains" and you know mountains are government, governments are also mountains in the language, right? Government, so we who are under government we have to understand that enough faith in us can change a governments.

MAS Allah Preparing To Change Governments 

And Allah (swt) is preparing us just for that, Allah (swt) is preparing us to change governments la US the rest of them will be very easy. Firstly the United States of America, the rest of them will be very easy, yes if we change the United States of America to have it respect Allah (swt) and what He has revealed and Muhammad (pbuh) the universal leader, the mercy to all the worlds, if we can get them to change to accept that, the people of the United States and the government recognize this in the people of the United States and declare, "yes we have to respect this Religion, it is the most popular and prevalent Religion of the United States. And we have to respect our citizens who Majority are Muslim and this government has to conform to the will of our people. No   more liquor be sold in the United States, no more pigs will be sold for food in the United States only for scientific study and experiment, pig go back to the zoo and back to the forest.

Homosexual Don't Support It

No more gambling in the United States, no more supporting human perversion in the United States, homosexuality, lesbianism and all of it, no more supporting it, you may have it but we're not going to support it, not going to kill you, not going to exterminate you, not going to punish you for being that way, but not going to allow you to propagate your way to others who are not in your way. You have a defect, ok we accept it, but under our rule and knowledge it's a defect, we're not going to have you glamorize it on t.v. or nowhere else, in books, nothing, you can get a job? Yes you can work on the airplane, you can be a stewardess on the airplane, you can be an airline stewardess, yes you can do it, but you keep your problem to yourself, don't flaunt it, if you flaunt it we will take that to mean you are propagating it and you will be locked up.

Muslim Leader Of America

See that's what will happen if the real khalif come on the throne of the United States. And we don't know it may come, but first there may be a Jew, Catholic, Jew or something you know and he will recognize say "this man has the authority to say also what is morally damaging and spirituality damaging to the American public, that may come. And one day I'm sure a Muslim is going to have that position, yes sir. May not come for 10,000 yrs, I don't know, maybe 100 yrs, its coming. Allah (swt) would not have don't this delicate work, very delicate, tedious work that He has done to bring Al Islam to be visible and respected on these grounds, the property and land of the American people, the United States of America. He wouldn't have brought this to happen if He wasn't going to one day have a Muslim as ruler over all the citizens of this country.

Not imposed upon them, He's going to be pushed forward, "go you should be the leader", they're going to push him forward, yes. They are going to insist that he campaign for the presidency of these United States and they're going to give him backing, money and everything. That is going to come, that's my prediction.

Prophets, Warners Allah Sent

I told you the Lord has not stop giving us warners. He just finished His universal scheme for the life of mankind in which He had warners to follow each other as the time required. But He has not stop giving warners at the end of His scheme, warners continue to be made because he created us to be warners. He created us to warn our people and He made some of us more sensitive than others, so we are better warners than others, ok.

Khalifa America Will Choose 

Q.27.62;   He made you Khalifas

Or who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him and who relieves its suffering and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed!

So there is going to come a time when they are going to recognize the khalifa, the man that G-d created not made by the world. And he's going to be a Muslim and they are going to select him. Say, "why you say he's going to be a Muslim? If he's a khalifa he is a Muslim. You don't understand your Religion yet, a good Christian can also be a khalifa, a good Jew can also be khalifa. A good person following Scripture can be a khalifa and not be a Muslim, can be a khalifa. He made you khulifa in earth, just as He made you human, He have also made every human to be khalifa. He have made you "khulafaa" the plural means many khalifas, made you many khalifa in the earth. That not just Muslim you're khalifa property is your property by virtue of your human creation, every human being is created with it. Some live to discover it, some don't, some live to grow, into it, fulfill that require, some don't, very few do in fact, but all of us created with it, the khalifa.

Now should we have an order of rule?  Just think about this politically, should we have a sensible, rational, moral order of rule by a person who's called khalifa and that's not us also? We shouldn't choose a foreign person or a foreign creation to rule over us, the creation we choose to rule over us should be the creation we identify with. And if we can't identify with his power, his limitations as a creation, we shouldn't be under his rule.

Q. 17.95; Angel on earth would send angel as messenger 

Say "If there were settled on earth angels walking about in peace and quiet We should certainty have sent them down from the heavens an angel for an apostle."

He should have a higher rule, he should go find him some super beings to rule, he should not be over us. That's why Allah (swt) says   "And if this world had been populated by angels He would have sent you an angel as a messenger". He have to send you something of your own nature, of your own make, of your own limitations and your I own possibilities. He has to sent you a creature like yourself "Basharun Methlekun", He has to sent you a creature like yourself.

Angelic Is One Of The Properties Of Human 

So the Khalifa has to be like us, if he's an angel he can't be our ruler. He can be angelic and be our ruler because angel is one of the properties of the human being too, the angelic essence and properties, are also our properties.

Allah Not Satisfied With Angels Made Man 

Q. 2.30: Allah said to angel I'm making man

Behold thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said "Wilt thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."

Q.I5.29;   I breath My spirit in him bow

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

But to become completely angel you have lost your human creation. You're not human anymore if you become completely angel. And Allah (swt) was not satisfied with complete angels He said to the angels "I'm making a ruler and when I have completed him and put my favor on him, you submit to him, you accept him and you take a second, lower position to him, you give your service to him then, that's what G-d said to the angels.

Q2.34;.   Iblis refused

And behold We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam"; and they bowed down not so Iblis he refused and was haughty he was of those who reject Faith.

Rev. 12:4; Third of stars in heaven

"And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."

So that means man in his weaker form as a creation when it comes to moral obedience and etc., was chosen by G-d and G-d says "and I know what you know not Yes his form as you see it is weaker than yours, weaker than the angels but wait until I have put in him something of My Spirit into him. When that happens I'm your boss, you know your boss angels, when that happens you give up this mind of yours, you give up this spirit of yours, no not mind.    You give up this spirit of yours and you make your submission to him, that's what G-d told them. And they all accepted according to the Quran report, not so in the Bible, the Bible says and Satan took down a third of kingdom the Quran say no he didn't take one 100th of it, you only took down one and that was the rebel, Iblis. But Iblis refused, they all accepted but Iblis refused who later came to be known as Shaytan and later became Satan, yes.

Government First Leader False Super Human 

So we know that th3 human person should be ruled by human person not by any supernatural human person, but it was the way of devious man, tricky man, it was the way of tricky man to form the first political orders and have the political order headed by a person that was seen as superhuman not human like everybody else. Go to any primitive society their rulers are seen as superhuman, not just humans like everybody else. The witch doctor of Africa, and Islands, the magi of Asia and middle east too, all of these persons are seen as supernatural divine beings, they are not on your level, their creation or their content is not on your level, its above you, you don't have the possibility for it in you.

So the witch doctor will never say I in you and you in me, I am a common mortal just like you, oh that will destroy his bag man, that witch doctor's bad will be shattered Bottom fall out and all his good roll on the ground, he couldn't say that.

Peace Greatest Power In Human And Universe 

Peace returning to the peace, peace is the greatest power in the creation of human beings, peace, its also the greatest power in the universe. Peace is the condition that G-d molds His creation for. He is molding His creation for the state of peace, it is called in Quran Dar Salaam the abode of peace. We're all headed for heaven, but not only heaven, what is this heaven? This heaven has many descriptions. One description is the Dar Salaam, the abode of peace, praise be to Allah (swt).


Cross every human is born to carry 

Q.6.94; Return bare and alone

"And behold! ye come to Us bare and alone as We created you for the first time: Ye have left behind you all (the favors) which We bestowed on you: We see not with you your intercessors whom ye thought to be partners in your affairs: so now all relations between you have been cut off and your (pet) fancies have left you in the lurch!"

Matt 10.8; every one his own cross

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

And says "and when they get in heaven their greeting will be peace" didn't say As Salaam, their greeting will be As Salaam Alaikum, it didn't say that. They would have already finished their As Salaam Alaikun and qualified for their Salaam. They would not be bearing any heavy crosses any more, they will be qualified to walk without the burden of their cross on their backs or on their shoulders or anywhere. They will be free from the burden of the cross, they will, the cross of the burden of your own human life and body. That's why the cross is made to look like a human being, its to say a human being without a heat, that's your body without a head. So your head is put on your body to carry the burden of your body.

So the understanding of that symbol is that every human was created to be responsible for his own self male and females created to be responsible and the Bible says every tub shall sit on its own bottom. And the Quran says you return to your Lord "Fardan" bare and alone as He created you the first time, you understand.     I hope you're following what I'm saying stay with the reasoning, stay with the logic, yes.

Q. 46.9; Al Islam no new Religious message

Say: "I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the apostles nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by inspiration: I am but a Warner open and clear."

So the Quran is not saying, Al Islam is not saying anything different from what Christianity is saying, everyone is born to bear a cross. And it's the world that puts the cross on your back and it's the world that will crucify you on your cross. It's the world that will kill you on your cross, but G-d will never crucify you. G-d has made you to be free to carry your cross and that it not be a burden.

Mind Over Body, Body Over Mind 

He's created you to make yourself a less and less burden on your mind. So He's created you to take the cross off of you and put you over the cross, you follow the logic? Yes, don't they say mind over body? But world puts body over mind.

Abnormal sex cravings, desire for drugs, desire to be intoxicated and wild out of your normal, intelligent behavior. Desire to have women just to have women. women for just sex that's making that cross heavier and heavier.

I don't have to continue, we can go for a long.... 

Cross man out on can't survive, dies not a Prophet

Q. 4.157; Made to appear kill Jesus

"That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary the Apostle of Allah"; but they killed him not nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow for of a surety they I killed him not.

..... yes they do, the world puts us on the cross and some of us can't survive this so we're killed on the cross aren't we. Never was a Prophet killed on a cross they can't kill a Prophet on a cross. They can only kill the ignorant masses on the cross, they can only crucify ignorant masses they can't crucify Prophets, that's why Allah (swt) says no you didn't crucify nor did you kill him its made to appear that way to you.

What more do you want? And I say that not for myself I say that from G-d, what more do you want, "oh you speaking from G-d? Yes I'm speaking from what I know   G-d approves and I'm saying I didn't do this. You think I can do this? I can't do this, you think Wallace D. Mohammed son of Elijah Muhammad can give knowledge that I'm giving no, no way G-d has to give to that person first.

If my father was living he would tell you in fact I'd have to constantly be telling my father "daddy I'm no Prophet" he'd say this is the savior he has returned and he's bigger and more powerful than he's every been. This is that new one", that's what my father would say. I'd say "daddy please, please you're undoing my work please stop that".


WD Mohammed Works Is G-D Favor Upon You 

And my mother would be with him "son I'm sorry 1 know who you are" that's what she would say, I guess that's why G-d chose that they die before I came into this. I know she would, I could not be able to convince my mother that I'm not a Prophet or god or something, no I would not be able to convince her. I know my reality and I'm going to keep you with the reality I'm Wallace and what comes above Wallace is not the doings of Wallace he couldn't do that, that's G-d's favor upon you through Wallace, through Imam Warith Ud Deen Mohammed.

I'm amaze my self at what I'm saying no joke now you know my mind is in this vein but as I discover these things I'm amazed so should I tell you that I'm the creator of this when I know I'm not. I'm just going in a vein I don't know what I'm going to see in the next step.   I only know where I'm going, I'm going in a vein towards what I saw but as I go through the vein I encounter things that I didn't know I was going to encounter and they give me life that I didn't have before. So should I hide that from you to keep the Ulema at peace with me? Maybe G-d want to send them back to the beginning of things, maybe G-d want to put them in violent commotion. And then again bring them to peaceful order I don't know Ailahu Akbar, Ailahu Akbar la elaha illalah Muhammadur Rasulullah, Ailahu Akbar, praise be to Allah (swt).

Peace Yeast In Dough

Luke 13:21; leaven bread three measure of meal 

"It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

G-d put into His creation the agent of peace when He created it you know like the Scripture say "the woman put yeast in the dough" that's an agent for breathing spirit into the dough. And as that agent yeast breaths spirit into the dough the dough expands. It becomes lighter per volume and then its put into the oven and baked and when its eaten or its eaten with less effort than that unleavened bread that you have to tear a piece off.

Give Child Stone For Bread

Q. 5.6; Allah want not difficulty but purify

" Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty but to make you clean and to complete His favor to you that ye may be grateful."

Q. 94.7; With hardship comes ease

"So verily with every difficulty there is relief 

Luke 1111; Will give child a stone when ask for bread

" If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?"

Said " and will you give you child a stone and child wants bread?" Our G-d says "I don't want for you hardship I want that you be purified and with hardship comes ease, that the way of G-d. So G-d created us weak in our form before enlightenment but He's telling us, "I know I put you into that difficulty but that difficulty is to develop your muscles, not just your physical muscle your all inclusive muscles. Your rational muscle, you moral muscle. And as I develop your muscles with this difficulty you're going to realize ease and I'm going to ease you into a state of ease, praise be to Allah (swt).

Going to ease you into a state of ease meaning not only your own life will be ease, you will not only have a condition for peace and easy effort and struggle for your own life, I'm going ease you into an environment, a state, an Islamic state in which there will be ease it will not be hard always, you won't have to bear heavy crosses. You won't be in conflict with you own life.

Q. 5.3; Chosen Al Islam as Religion for you

"This day have I perfected your religion for you completed my favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."

Q. 8.24; Why not respond to that which gives life

"O ye who believe! give your response to Allah and His apostle when He calleth you to that which will give you life; and know that Allah cometh in between a man and his heart and that it is He to whom Ye shall (all) be gathered."

The One Who gave you your life knows how to compliment your life, praise be to Allah (swt).   And I have complemented your life with your Religion, the Religion of your own nature Al Islam. And what is wrong with you that you don't respond when you are called to that, that gives you life?

Real Life, Self Inside Flesh

The world wants to give you death, really your life is not the life of an animal, flesh and blood, your real life is your higher self inside the flesh, your human intelligence, your spiritual life and nature, your moral life and nature etc. that's you real higher self. And this Religion you know all of us will admit this Religion addresses the need for our moral life, our spiritual life, our rational life etc.. Its not addressing the need for flesh and blood except as flesh blood embodies the human spirit, the human moral life, the human rational life and the social life, praise be to Allah (swt).

Well I could talk on peace for a long time and I don't want to because its after 10 O'clock, its 10:20 almost soon to be 10:20, I'm going to change the subject and try to finish in about 10 or 15 minutes. I think that's enough for peace.

Soul Inside And Outside The Body 

Q.57.21;   Garden heaven earth 

"Be ye foremost (in seeking) forgiveness from your Lord  and a Garden (of Bliss) the width whereof is as the width of I heaven and earth prepared for those who believe in Allah and His apostles: that is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases: and Allah is the Lord of Grace abounding."

Its clear to you that Peace a power that was implanted in our own bodies, peace in the soul that's in the body and outside of the body, did you know that? I want you to know it if you don't know it. Your soul is not only in your body, I your soul is in your body and outside of your body and just like they don't know how to map the dimensions of this creation, they cannot, I can't and nobody can t map the dimensions of your soul.

And G-d says He has given you the whole universe, all the space there is and the earth as your garden. The soul lives in that big garden so G-d has told us that my soul has been I created to live in that much, in that big space. The space that is in terms of its dimension is the extent of the heavens and the earth, this is what Allah (swt) says plainly in the Quran.

So if my soul, I said if, why? Because I'm speaking to you, I'm telling you I'm not forced, I don't want to force you to believe this. If my soul or your human soul is as big as G-d said it is in its power to be in touch and do work in space, He's going to give us a garden the width, thereof will be the expanse of the heavens and the earth, that what Allah (swt) says. That means I can get in touch with it, why give me a garden I can't see or reach? That would be ridiculous, see stay with intelligence no matter what you're trying to work on with your mind stay with intelligence don't become foolish, alright, ok.

Souls All Human Occupy Same Space

If that's true then my soul is in the space of your soul and your soul is in the space of my soul and the souls of all human beings are occupying the same space at the same time. So there is one great fluid ocean of souls that is singular only as I see myself but are singular in its plural body also, Adam, singular in its plural body also.

Clairvoyance ESP Man Same One Soul 

Q. 33.6; Prophet closer than own self

" The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves"

Therefore its possible rationally for me to know what you're feeling because we are one in sensitivity or in sensitive body. And its possible for you to know what I'm feeling and it possible for you to communicate on my behalf and its possible for me to communicate on your behalf. So when you see the Prophet (pbuh) see him as you speaking for you speaking for you as well as himself above you, praise be to Allah (swt).

Q3.68; Muhammad follow order of Abraham 

"Without doubt among men the nearest of kin to Abraham are those who follow him as are also this Apostle and those who believe; and Allah is the Protector of those who have faith.

This is rational I don't speak until its rational for me I'm a follower of Muhammad (pbuh) the order after the order of Abraham the upright in faith peace be upon him, yes.

I'm in accord with this Religion not out of it and whenever I think I'm getting out I pull back, no I can't get out of this Religion. And I ask Allah (swt) see I'm successful because I don't trust myself with myself.   I tell Allah (swt) I trust myself with You, please I say please, I use English, there's please in Arabic but I say it in English I say "please my Lord, please Allah (swt) Highly Glorified, Perfect above all imperfections and I am not perfect my Lord I am limited. Please save me from myself.

Isn't that what Abraham in effect when he said "Enne thalamtu nafse" surely I've wrong my own self, "and I expose my faults to You my Lord, I confess my faults the language says. Forgive me my defects my faults all of them. And he asks "Wahdene fe ahsane akhlaaq" and guide me to the best of my own creation.

They translated and I'm translating it too. And guide me to the best of my own creation, You have created me G-d I don't now how to guide myself to the best of what You did.

Forgive Change Condition In My Creation 

So G-d my Lord   You give me to the best of my creation for surely none can guide except You, first he said none can forgive faults except You. Because forgive is not only to forgive, forgive is to forgive the bad action or the bad condition of the person that's praying for the forgiveness but also to change the condition. Forgive it means to remove that problem that was there.

Not just forgive me for what I've done G-d but forgive my creation and the only way for you to forgive my creation you have to take this out of my creation. So the Forgive has not only the power to forgive your conscience or your act, He has the power to forgive your state of being. And He can't forgive your state of being until He take out of your state of being that, that causes the problem, alright praise be to Allah (swt).    And He says he will change your state to a better state and you'll be pleased, praise be to Allah (swt).

Peace Is Agent In Life Of The Universe

Peace is agent in life of the universe and peace is the agent in the life of all creatures and man the highest of the creatures that He made from the earth. It's the most powerful agent in you.

Criminal Not As Powerful As Righteous 

That's why I use to say when I was a young man fighting the darkness I knew I had to go to the night and I knew I should fight the darkness. I was fighting the darkness and you know fighting darkness you can sometimes hurt yourself, you're fighting darkness. I didn't care if it destroyed me, fighting the darkness and I said to you all "you think you're powerful, you think you're bad because you have your muscles and you don't have any respect for anything, you're a criminal, you could kill me. 1 said yes you can kill me but you think I'm afraid of you, I said "look no criminal is more courageous than the true peaceful servant of G-d. And no criminal is as tough a fighter as the true peaceful servant of G-d." I said "come on bring it on".

I said that in the spirit of a servant of G-d knowing that where I fail G-d is going to take over and not in no spooky way and I let you know that because you didn't believe in spook. You were a spook but you didn't believe in spooks, you believed everything was material.   So I made it clear to you that this ain't no spooky thing, I said the forces that you know, the forces that you respect G-d will have them on my side not on your side, that's what I told you back then I had to pull that Sonny Listen and Muhammad All thing on you, you were threatening.   So I had to get my bluff in first and get it in strong then I could float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. It's a lot of truth to that now, praise be to Allah (swt) so lets see can I conclude right away here.

Clock Human Soul Wants Universal Peace Not War 

So lastly what I want to say to you that we're living in the time for peace, that's the hunger of the souls of nations now. Not in their leaders but in their people. The hunger is the hunger for universal peace, they don't want to be at war with themselves inside their countries and they don't want to be at war with other people or other nations. They want peace for the whole community of man so we can spend this energy for constructive things and not destruction. That the time on clock of human soul in this day and time, that's what time it is on clock of human soul. And G-d says wait until I bring My clock, Peace As Salaam Alaikum and may G-d forgive us our errors and guide us ever and give us His mercy Ameen.

Youth

As Salaam Alaikum we need to speak to the youth that have come if everybody could sit down just for a very brief moment. Youth if you're outside of the area could you come back into the area quickly, you could stand right in the door the youth. Now would the youth stand only the youth, when I say youth I'm not talking about somebody 40 yrs old only the youth.

Now alright so the youth I have asked you to come to these sessions and I'm making you welcome just as all others, your welcome is the same welcome I give to Imams no different.   My interest in you is our interest in you, the leader's interest in you, our interest is that you be better than us for the future, that's my interest in you. That you be better than us for the future because the future will ask more of us than the present and the past of us and we want you to be better than us for the future.

Dead living are here in one place 

Q.77.25-26; Earth draws living and the dead

25.  Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together
26. The living and the dead

Q.2.154; Dead not they're alive you perceive not

"And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: -"They are dead." Nay they are living though ye perceive (it) I not.

I've told you about my philosophical mind, my mystical side and I see myself tomorrow living in you, I won't be dead, I'll be living in you so please give me a nice future, yes give me the future you know I want Because I won't be living after I die here on this earth I won't be living anywhere except in you.

I've told you about my philosophical mind, my mystical side and I see myself tomorrow living in you, I won't be dead, I'll be living in you so please give me a nice future, yes give me the future you know I want. Because I won't be living after I die here on this earth I won't be living anywhere except in you.

So please give your Imam W. Deen Mohammed a nice future you won't be able to talk to him, but he'll be with you living in your time too, so please remember me that I'm with you. I'm not speaking Bible I'm speaking from Imam Warith Ud Din Mohammed's soul, my soul knows where its going to be and I follow the guidance of G-d to know my soul and its nature and its possibilities.

Body Dies Soul Lives Move To Those Love Most

Q. 13.21-23; Families will be together in hereafter 

"Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there as well as the righteous, among their fathers their spouses and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):"

So I'll be with you and you will be with me, we all will be together we aren't going anywhere, the body dies, and if you think scientifically when the soul dies it hasn't any more body to live in, no more world it can relate to, material world it can relate to. If it has movement after the death of my body, where is it going to want to move? To those that I love most, that's where it is   going to want to be. It want to be with those I love most, though it has no body to communicate anymore with my loved ones, its going, yeah brother I feel just like you feel, it is going to be with those that I love most. So we're going to be together and this is not said by me for the first time this is said in Scripture and even Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) said that yes "you will be together and with your wife and with your loved ones.

Now I'm sorry presently I don't have a wife except those that I won't say that, those that I still care for and I still give them my assistance until they get husbands that can so
they don't ask me for anything or get a husband I know are good for them, they can't ask me for anything. When the get to that point then I will cut them loose, but for right now I still refer to them as my wife though we don't have a marriage relationship. We don't have a marriage relationship because this burden that I carry is too much for them. Maybe Allah (swt) will give me I'm not looking for her, maybe Allah (swt) will one day give me a mate that this burden will not be too heavy for.

Let me tell you something, you modern world women, you have affected me so just the the hint from you that you want to say "be my husband" sends my insides into violent commotion so much so sister my face start twitching. One of them said "we can make it now I understand you now better" I said "please lighten up I think I'm going to have a stroke", its too much for me.   My master is Muhammad ibn Abdullah (pbuh) the seal of the Prophets I can't measure up to his social qualifications of marriage in this day and time, I'm not going to try. I know I can't equal him, I'm not going to try, I can not equal that perfect giant of a man, no I'm not going to try, I give up sister, no that means I'll become a eunuch if I have to because why accept a person and they know that you will not give them a better life, you know the burden that you have is not going to make their life easier, its going to make their life much harder. So why give that burden to a person, shouldn't do that, even if I wanted I couldn't give that burden to that sister, no I shouldn't do that I shouldn't give her a burden like that, yes.

Now If she could be the sister on my right, that's why I say I'll go to bantu land and get me one of those bantu women and when I say "sister Mahasin bantu now you excuse yourself until 10.00 tonight and she'll do it.

But if I say it to saffaire.....   Yeah we know what will happen I had one staying around a brother, they fear the security and I said something they didn't like, boom inside my rib. And I just pretend because they know I don't want to be embarrassed right, so I pretend nothing happened I kept my conversation as though nothing had happened. I had one I was riding in a car, "how many you got Imam?" I never had more than four and never four at one time.

Youth

This is good for the youth, what I told you is good for the youth, yes.

Q.33.28; Replace wives of Prophet if wish

"O Prophet! say to thy Consorts: "If it be that ye desire the life of this world and its glitter then come! I will provide for your enjoyment and set you free in a handsome manner."

I don't mean to follow me in what I done, its good for the youth to know that no burden should interfere you serving your G-d, alright. Look what Allah (swt) of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) in the Quran, "say you wives who annoy him if you don't respect, these are my words, if you don't respect My Prophet as Servant and Messenger we will change, replace all of you" So that was a threat of divorce wasn't, a divorce threat given to all of them. That's to say that burden on man in man's life should never interfere with the burden of him carrying the message of G-d and living the life of jihad, the life of struggle for G-d, ok alright.

The youth I wanted to speak to you to tell you this, you who will support me, and I know your loyalties are divided, that's ok, those who you're loyal to that I know I rather see you with them than to see you out of my circle. Because they're good people and they will help you a lot and they will use you to advance the cause I'm sure. But I don't approve of the-way they sometime use you, no college student should be asked to pay come to distant place and he's poor already, he's a poor college student, he shouldn't be asked to go find money or to use his he needs for himself while he's a student to pay money to get on a plane or a bus or drive in a car and come to a distant place for a meeting. Spending his money or her money and they shouldn't be asked to pay for hotel accommodations, spending their money, these are our precious future, these are our college students.

We don't want you spending your college money and not even spending too much time. If the program isn't worth it you should tell them "stay at home I could get more out of my course than I can get out of what you all will be talking about". You should tell them "hey I'm not coming, no Pm sorry I can get more out of my course than I can get out of what you all are going to be talking about Not until you're ready to put some of these items on your agenda that I think and we think we college youth think you should have on your agenda, you're going to be missing me buddy." That's the way I talk to them.

There aren't any blind commands here, G-d didn't give us any blind commands, Muslims are no blind followers, you don't follow them just because they're in position, or just because they are heroes. You follow them in the light of G-d, in the path of G-d with light on it brother and sister, don't follow these people I don't want to name any one of them because I love each and every one of them, and I do, they are hard working, they made a transformation, they are good, they're good speakers, motivation speakers, they're good motivation speakers.

But hell I don't want all the youth going to a motivation workshop, I want the youth going to a future leadership workshop, not to show them how you can speak Arabic and show them how you can recite Quran. They can learn that from any place, every city have great reciters in it and great centers in it where you can listen to beautiful reciters of Quran in Arabic. So that's what you're here with me for? You can be excused, I'm serious, you can be excused. But if you're with me to carry the people forward to where G-d wants the socially rejected people to go, we were socially rejected and right now the stigma is still in the memory of the white people that's living now and also black.

Leadership Ego Problem Is Need To Look Down On Others 

Sometimes we think we've become so educated and become so American that we now are the new white man and we are right there with him, though he's white and we're black, we're the same man now.   So they are looking down on this inferior black man from a white man's creation, "what them niggers doing in here? How these niggers find this place? Yeah you spoil the atmosphere for them when you come into the area.

So we have this great problem still though racism has been dealt the death blow to its head and heart, if it ever had a heart, it has received the death blow. So we still have this problem, you'll find that some of these people will be standing over you as your superiors and they're suffering this ego problem. They just want to enjoy looking down on somebody and having a willing person with his mouth open like a little baby bird in the nest waiting for mama to put something in it.

And they enjoy, they get an ego satisfaction from their work, G-d know that I resist any ego satisfaction. Soon as I sense that ego is enjoying "hey ego die" so I can serve my G-d, yes.

Youth Leadership Study W. D. Mohammed 

So I have to say that to you because we want the best for you because we want the best for ourselves in the future, yes we want the best for ourselves in the future. So we want you to form, we don't want to dominate you, we don't want to be your bosses, not even Imam W. Deen Mohammed, I don't want you directly under your own leadership. I want you to come directly under you own leadership. And I want you own leadership to study my leadership and utilize it for the betterment of our community in the future.

If you agree to do that for me and for you and for us, for us more importantly for us, raise your hand please, Allahu Akbar. We know Prophet when there was a serious matter the people, the leaders wanted it and the Prophet (pbuh) accepted and Allah (swt) mentions it in the Quran that you have to take a pledge of loyalty and allegiance to me. So at one time in the future when we meet I want you to come and make your baith to Imam W. Deen Mohammed This group of youth, not you all. I've already had your baith and it has gone bye, bye, too many times, too many times, but 1 want it from the youth, I look at them as my nephews and my sons>and my daughters and my nieces, that's how I look at them.

What I mean by that with the same interest in them, the same love for them, same treatment I'll give them, the same that I give my own daughters and my own sons and my own nephews and nieces, the same, in fact better. Because some of mine need a whipping, in fact I may have to whip one of when I get back home.

So this concludes my morning session and its almost 11:00 now so I'm asking that you meet as soon as you can, meet whenever there is a break. I'm asking that you meet and if you need this table up here, Imam W. Deen Mohammed, already asked Imam Darnell Karim to accommodate you. And you should finish within twenty minutes, no more than twenty minutes you have to learn how to do things and get done.

See training and teaching and training, the process of teaching is actually a process of teaching and training, changing, converting not the person to another Religion but converting the mind to another position, another posture, another focus etc. Teaching, this job that I do takes a long time especially when you want to accomplish a lot in the time given to you in the circumstances that you have for the long distant future.

So we don't have money to do this every day, so we have these three days so my spirit tells me to do as much as we can do for the intensive course maybe they call it.

Give an intensive course, put as much in this as we can for the little time that we have because we don't have money to be coming together that often like this, ok?. But when you meet you should be meeting to inform the body that you represent of its call to action and what action we will be addressing presently at our next meeting, that's all. We want you to perceive correctly this organization for the youth.

Two Youth Groups 12 yrs - 17 yrs and 18 yrs - 40 yrs 

And I think the youth, this first organization should be from 18 yrs to 40yrs we're changing later we should form another group independent of this group it will have its own leader too, another group from 12 yrs to 17 yrs then after they get 18 yrs they join the older group, yes.   So that's how I would like to see it, 12 yrs to 17 yrs and en sha Allah out of both groups will come great leaders for our future, take us into a better future en sha Allah.

Youth Concentration On Quran. Islamic Communities

Your concentration should be on Quran and the life of Muhammad (pbuh) from the best and most reliable sources and your concentration should be on the history of Islamic communities, not just nations.

Because in India we have a big community of the Muslims in India, there is no Islamic nation there, but its bigger than most Muslim nations. So we should want to know how these teachers, how these learned people introduced Al Islam to these people, we want an introductory course, not a course that want to give you a degree or master in that, no.

Just a light introductory course, just to acquaint you with how Al Islam has moved, the community of Muslims pardon me, in Al Islam have moved with time from the time of Muhammad (pbuh) the early Ummah, the first Ummah until the present time peace be upon Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

You need that knowledge you have to have that knowledge of the movement of Al Islam in world geography, picture of the world geography, you have to have that. And you should want to know who's mind contributed the most to the success of those Islamic societies or Islamic communities that formed, understanding that there's only one Ummah only one Al Islam, only one international Ummah, so this is what you do. And after history of the spread of Al Islam and the present state of Al Islam in those countries, include please the present state of the Muslim life in those areas. Most of those areas have degraded, the Muslim life have gone down though the countries and their material appearance may be up, the Muslim life has gone down for most of them from what it was when it was initially started there in those geographical spots yes.

So we're talking to the youth now, I'm talking to the youth so that will eliminate the need for me to see them again when you organize you won't need me again until sometime in the future, maybe months in the future en sha Allah.

And what else you need to have as top item for your organization and direction is the history of the growth of Al Islam on this continent, in the Western hemisphere and especially in the United States of America, our history. You youth you have to understand what transpired to have W. Deen Mohammed call himself a Muslim and wear Muslim name and struggle to be upright As the Hon. Elijah Muhammad said "we are trying to be upright", so you have to know what motivated me and gave me my first name and first mind and made it possible for me to make this transition, you have to know that too. How can you be leaders in the future for us if you don't know that? And you will get the support of our elders, our seniors if you follow what I'm giving you, I know you'll get it You'll have support of the whole MAS with you I'm sure of that, alright, thank you.

I was suppose to meet with the distributors too? We're not going to be able to - I know but I'm speaking from my own agenda, not from.   I was suppose to meet with the
distributors myself today I don't think I'm going to be able to meet with you until later on today and we hope to meet at the facility, at the meat processing facility. And I'm thinking the best time to meet at the meat processing facility, they were expecting us there at 10:30, the best time would be right now. Now can you do that? Can the distributors leave and meet, we got a total of 33 distributors, I don't know if all of you are here or not, but if all of you are here we can make it in that, the space will be tight but we can make it I'm thinking that all of you are not here so we'll be okay, so can all of the distributors meet with us, with myself and our staff there. Right away the address is 2979 W. 167th street and you will see a sign Egg mate, the sign is mostly yellow, the sign says Egg mate.

Now if you think you will get lost my advice is for you to find one of the brothers that's going over there who is from this area and put at least one brother or sister in the car with you who is from this area and you won't have any problem they will take you right to 2979 167th Street where the Egg mate sign is hanging up.

Comment:
Brother Imam I know your time is very, very pressed I need you to answer one of these questions.

Imam W. Deen Mohammed: We're going to answer it.

Ramadan Maghrib Session
12-17-2000 Sun. 5.15   p.m. 
Chicago, ILL

As Salaam Alaikum al hamdu lillah, I see the cups in the hands you know we got about six minutes I think, its cold here in this area I mean even for me and Pm - this is my area. Yes I've lived in this practically all my life, my mother said she brought me in her arms to Chicago from Detroit. I was born in Detroit in a place called Hamtramic, Michigan, yes. And I thought there was no more known as Hamtramic, Michigan, I got a letter from Hamtramic, Michigan here recently, yes post marked   Hamtramic, Michigan. So its still there I didn't know it was, I guess that person that wrote me just wrote me to tell me because they heard me I'm sure say I thought that Hamtramic was part of Detroit, pardon me, but its still recognized as a separate, I don't know if it's a township, district or something. It's a township? It's a city? You're joking, you're telling me I wasn't born in Detroit?

My birth certificate says Hamtramic, Michigan, so that's where I was born not Detroit.  We were thinking that my father was born in Sandersville, Georgia we went down there, his home is in Deep step, Georgia where he was born. The house we saw it where he was born they say this is where he was born its Deep step, Georgia, he did make a deep step didn't he? And its so near Sandersville and Sandersville is a popular town, popular place so they Sandersville, but actually he was born in Deep step, Georgia. And they showed us the church where his father, my grandfather preached, we had a good time, family reunion down there. And Christians and all of us we got along very good just happy with each other, that's the way its suppose to be, big beautiful family reunion.

Riyyah went with us Lottie we use to call her you know, my sister Lottie, my sister Riyyah she went with us and many others from the family and some of them pioneers, two of them were pioneers like my sister Rryyak It was a good time in fact I look forward to another family reunion someplace with them. Its good for families to remember each other and it getting popular and even getting more popular. And there are some huge families, family so big they come to town and you know something is happening in that town.

We got a pretty big family, a lot of us still in the south, some of us are in Florida, wasn't in Florida before, some of our relatives, our family are in Florida and a lot of us are in Chicago and Detroit, my family, my father from my grandfather, grandmother, mother and father.

I thank Allah (swt) I'm feeling much better I thought I was going to have to break fast, I said "well it looks like I'm not going to be able to go through Ramadan, this water problem is too serious for me" , but I'm getting stronger and getting better. Walked up the steps just then and didn't feel too much of a burden you know, came up almost the way I normally come up the stairs but before today, it wasn't easy going up those steps and going down too wasn't easy. I didn't feel safe unless I held the rail going down, that's how weak I was in my body, I had to hold the rail to feel safe, but now I feel pretty good thanks to Allah (swt).

And I thank you all for your support to me. Who is that walking with food over there? Is that Muhammad with his had on? I never seen you with your cap on backwards before, he said, he told me he was hungry and we had to come here so I said well here's a piece I had a nice piece of fruit cake mostly fruit, heavy with fruit, very little cake. And it was a good one so I told him eat a piece of this, I thought that would give him strength you know, he doesn't care for fruit cake so he took a little pinch. I said you don't want he said no.   So I said what about a banana, I had some bananas I brought here too and he said yes I'll take a banana, he ate the banana. So after he ate the banana he looked at me like as if to say "I ain't happy with you at air, I see you got some boxes of food but he still isn't happy with me. He's happy with whoever gave him those boxes, he isn't happy with me.

But I promised him something real nice when we get back home I can cook and believe it or not my little daughter just made 12 yrs old November 12, yes she made 12 yrs old and that little girl Allah (swt) has blessed me with her just like a woman. In fact already she's equal to some of those I have back there behind me, I can't say who it was, already doing as well as they do and better in some respects. She will get up and look at that house and she isn't pleased with it, she will start getting on her brother and her sister "you all messed up this" and she will clean the whole house I mean just like a woman.

And she wants to cook I been holding her back, today I told her, I let her cook sometimes. Today I told her she could cook the meal, I didn't want her to go outside in the cold because she's a little frail too. A week ago she was sick with a bad cold, she insisted that she had to go and she had made such a complaint I had to let her go with me to the store. I said just give me your list I can get the groceries, she insisted, she had to go pick out the groceries, some women are like that, right?   She had to go pick out the groceries, she picked out the groceries and she's back there cooking right now and I expect to go home to a good meal. I couldn't find the ground beef and I didn't want to buy ground meat from these stores now that we got ground beef we shouldn't buy ground beef from stores. Our ground beef is Halal and we know it and good quality ground beef.

That's what I want to say over there, it's a difference between meat market products and chain store products, big difference. And what we're selling is not chain store products, its meat market products. We're learning form experience what we have to be on alert for and en sha Allah in a few weeks everything should just move like clock work, move so smoothly and efficient, we're going to have a beautiful and wonderful business en sha Allah. Yes its almost time about a minute or so, I'm seeing about two minutes. You got your watch with you? I don't believe in looking in the paper and the paper says the sun sets at 4:20 and I eat exactly at 4:20, I think we should wait a good two minutes so we can feel comfortable that the sun appears to our eyes, the sunlight, the reddy glow left from the sun set appears to our eyes like it should be. And I'm looking at the sky out there right now, it looks about right but I think we got about 1 more minute, yes we got about 1 or 2 more minutes.

So 1 told my daughter I said I can't get the ground beef, she said are you going to get it from the C PC or something she called it I said yeah we got it, I went there no ground beef, we didn't have any. So I asked her I said can I cook you some fish, I said fish goes good with what your cooking, she said yes, ok you can fix the fish she told me. She was going to fix the ground beef, ground meat and spaghetti, meat balls and spaghetti and some other things she got.

So she said ok, I can't wait to get back home in that kitchen I got that whiting thawed out just right, it still firm so I can take that little thin skin and rip it right off so easy. I'm
going to skin it and season it and broil it and its going to be some tasty, quality fish. My watch is saying its about there, what your watch saying, what time you got? I think my watch is pretty correct so lets say Dua' Billahe amantu wa 'alallahe tawakaltu wa be resqillahe as thurtu Ameen.

As Salaam Alaikum again we thank Allah (swt) we praise Allah (swt) the Lord of the worlds peace and blessings, salutations the best of salutations be for our Prophet, the seal of the Prophets Allah's (swt) Servant and Messenger Muhammad. We are closing out this three day visit with each other for these study sessions in the blessed month of Ramadan commenting on the Word of G-d, the Quran and His Servant and His Messenger, the seal of the Prophets Muhammad (pbuh), mercy to all the worlds as G-d describes him. And the model human person that is enough for all mankind, an excellent model of human excellence "uswatun hasanatun" and excellent model for any who believes in G-d and the last day.

Q. 3.110; You best community for mankind

Ye Are The Best Of Peoples Evolved For Mankind

So we thank Allah (swt) for our Religion that He gave us to the lost souls and He gave us our Religion so that we would be able to complete our lives as human beings in community with other human beings, for us with other Muslim human beings in the community that G-d, Himself gave us. And He said of us "Kuntum khara ummaten ukhrejat len nas" you are the best of communities evolved or brought out for all people, praise be to Allah (swt).

Man Good Works Not His Own Thing But G-D's Intention

I would like to leave you with these thoughts, man thinks he's doing his own thing but he's unaware that G-d created him to do for G-d. In the long run when we read and interpret what man has done we're going to discover, we're going to see that the wonderful things he achieved was the things that G-d intended, created him to do and intended that he do. And he couldn't escape it.

Miracle World Leadership Working For All Humanity

So we are seeing the wonderful signs of G-d in this modern time when it is the spirit of leadership all over this planet to work for peace and the unity of the human family. Its necessary for us to go forward in the future and see more production and better conditions for human beings everywhere, this is what the leaders of the world now know.

Some of them are a little stubborn because they are so fixed into their positions of power and control over the people, so its difficult for them. But all them know that this time is the time of the unity of mankind, unity of all people as one human family. And that the whole global field for work and production should be for the benefit of all the people on this earth a fair accommodation for all that nations, for all the people on earth.

We're living in a wonderful time and this is the time, the season of warming up, not that threat that they're giving, threatening that the ozone is going to cause problems and the seasons are changing and warming up and its danger for the population. Its danger but only for the bad people. This is a time of warming up and we're happy that Allah (swt) has spared us to be alive for this time so we can live in this time and get the great benefits of this new time for mankind on this earth, we're very happy about that. I want to leave you with that thought on the one hand that's the thought I want to leave with you.

AJ Hadith 3p804#199; Seek only knowledge that is useful

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Seek refuge from a learning which brings no benefit, from a heart which does not fear Allah (swt), from a soul which is never satisfied and from a pray that is not answered."

On the other hand I want to leave with you a thought that's really a part of this session, it goes right along wit the session, it is the final session, to study and benefit from our study. And remember Muhammad (pbuh) said do not seek any knowledge that has no benefit.

Hadith  The best is he who is most useful to society

If you can't benefit from it, no one can use it and benefit, he said you shouldn't seek that kind of knowledge. He forbid or prohibit that we seek knowledge just for our own interest or amusement but we do nothing with it, it doesn't serve human beings or the human society. He forbid that we even spend our energies or indulge or seek such knowledge we're not suppose to do that so then it goes along with Muhammad's (pbuh) saying "Khairukum man yanfai'an Nas" "the best of you is the one who benefits people, praise be to Allah (swt).

Best Time Is Now

We're live in a time when the greatest   and most beautiful expectations of the struggling servants of G-d is right here. They wish they could be here in this time, right here now. Allah (swt) wants nothing less from His human creature than total obedience to His will, complete obedience to His Will, total conformity with the Plan that He gave us for our life when He created us and even clearer, brighter and richer in the Religion that He has given to us for our life the Religion of Al Islam. He wants nothing less than total conformity, Man is formed, created for conformity in G-d's Purpose, in G-d's Plan, yes.

So He wants noting less than complete submission to His Will and Plan for us and when we accept it, it put us in the best condition of the soul, body and mind.

Q. 30.30; Let there be no change in pattern man made on

..In action not as an object, so fitra the verb form is Fatara and both terms are used in this reference says Ai Islam is the Religion of Fitra that which G-d fatara, the verb form of this word, "Fatara an Nasa" which G-d fatara the action now, not the noun, "Fitra" is the noun fatara the action; that on which G-d fatara, the action of the word, the people upon, patterned the people upon.   G-d patterned the people upon this original nature, He patterned the people upon that. The pattern upon which G-d fashioned mankind or originated mankind upon, originated human beings or mankind upon.

Now does it mean pattern? Yes it means pattern but what does it mean in its naked root meaning, what is it? We must say, come to the word that's in the translation now, but I think discussing it this way has helped you understand it better, originated.

Q.26.193-194; Quran upon Prophet's heart

193.   With it came down the Spirit of Faith and Truth
194.  To thy heart and mind that thou mayest admonish

Muhammad (pbuh) was obviously already in this pattern and then G-d revealed the Religion according to the Quran upon his heart. Say he cause it to descent down upon his heart, speaking of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).

So here is a man that's already in this fitra, As Salaam Alaikum by brother he's a student and a professor and he's listening and he's learning and he's building knowledge upon knowledge, I know him.   Its worth it just for me to talk to you, yes.

So here is a man now already in this "Fitraa" the noun form for this excellent human condition that G-d wants in all of us and created us for it, created us in it and for it. Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) is in it like Jesus was, peace be upon them and then G-d caused the Revelation to descend upon his heart, what does that mean? It means that he was not educated in Scripture so G-d couldn't or wouldn't converse or communicate to Muhammad's mind that high knowledge, that Scriptural knowledge, he couldn't do it. But his heart was right so the language was designed to reach his heart and later reach is mind and that was an education progress.

Allah Teach You Won't Forget 

Q. 87.6; We teach you, you won't forget

"By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message) so thou shalt not forget

And Allah (swt) says of Muhammad (pbuh) He says "and I will teach you so that you will not forget, teach you I will make you more in knowledge, give you knowledge. The world "Darsa" is lesson or to teach somebody a lesson, "durus" lessons, "adraak" you understand the language? "Adraka" from "darasa".    So here is G-d saying I'm, those who, I got students out here I have to respect them too, who know the language so they should get the benefit of this that's meant for them, but you can get it too, I'm giving it to
you in English.

He says, and they are teachers so they should speak with authority, l'm giving you the authority to speak this knowledge, you can bring the evidence right before the people and you can show them that the evidence is there in the Quran for what I'm saying, yes.

So He says to Muhammad (pbuh) "I'm going to teach you". he was uneducated, that's the tradition, he was the man that was not educated, he was not formally taught, he had no teachers, he only had the excellent, life and practical experiences in the world. He was not a spiritual man in the sense that we understand spiritual man today. Spiritual man today means following Scripture or going to church or something, some religious place. He was not that kind of man at all, in fact he was not associated with any Religion or with any Scripture, never associate with any Religion, or with any Scripture never associated with any Religion, any Scripture before G-d called him, this is Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).

Adam Is A Picture Of Man In His Best Form 

So G-d is not just telling us something He is showing us something, G-d is telling us that He originated man in the best form. Adam is a picture of man in his best form that G-d created for him and the Scripture says that Adam fell from that high pedestal that G-d put him on as a creation. He fell from that when he was seduced by the devil, by the satan, shaytan or satan, yes.

So G-d is telling us something that He created man like that from the beginning and then He built upon that original excellence a rational man, an intellectual man, a civilizer for all men. And a nation builder, a community builder. Muhammad (pbuh) built the first community of Muslims in his own life time, he built it, he was the leader, he built the first community of Muslims. A community that spread form the peninsula of Arabia into Africa, into Persia that's now called Iran, into Europe, into Asia, Far East and now in America and almost every where you'll find the followers of this man.

And there are nations run by Muslims, many of them in the United Nations we Muslim nations make up a big number of the nations that are represented in the United Nations, a big number 50 or more Muslim nations.

Quran To Unlock Human Treasures

So we are not to understand Revelation as writings to make us feel good and to make us be nice people "oh its going to make us sweet, loving nice people" oh that's a baby understanding in religion.

The real understanding in religion is to understand that the G-d Who created us the first time is the only One Who can unlock our treasures within our hearts and souls and minds, He's the only One that can unlock the treasures and free us to get the great benefit that He created us for in this life on this physical earth, He's the only One that can do that.

...the proof of that I repeat is that we don't find any other nations leading mankind but those nations who claim Scripture and you know the one out front the united states of America, Christian nation.

Q. 40.7; Allah reach over all in knowledge, mercy

"Those who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy reach is over all things in Mercy and Knowledge.

Hadfth__best are the ones in service to humanity

I've gone too long for a keynote address I'm going to try to hurry with this. Muhammad (pbuh) this same man he said "the best of you are the ones who are best in your service to humanity".   "Khairukum man yankun naasmtthe best of you are the ones who are best in your service to humanity", humanity is benefiting from what you're doing from your light and your works. And then G-d says that He, Himself has extended everything upon or by knowledge and mercy its translated. But this mercy is a caring, this mercy is seen in the attribute of mercy, pardon me love that's in a mother for her children, the attribute love, that in a mother for her children.

Mercy of Allah Is Pure Love

She loves her children, she cares for her children she has patience with them, she suffers to have patience with them, not that G-d suffers, but you understand what I'm saying. I'm giving you a picture. She suffers to have patience with them, she bears them on her own strength, she lets them tax her own strength until she can get them to manage without taxing her or someone else. And she does it because she loves them...

.....condition, the best condition for the soul, body and mind, praise be to Allah (swt). We know by what we have done so far, we know by the increase in our happiness, the increase in our peace in our soul, we know by what He have done for us already in response to the amount of submission and conformity we have given to this point already. We know Allah (swt) is going to give us fullness of the pleaser that our life and soul hopes for in time as reward for obedience conforming to His Will and Plan for human beings.

We have talked about this time in a time when nations and great minds are all wanting to promote peace for the whole globe, a community of people at peace not at war.   And a time when the great rulers want to promote awareness in the different nations and community of their neighboring nations and community and of all the nations and communities on this planet, Want us to get acquainted with each other, we are not one community by virtue of our ability to travel in a relativity short period of time to any human population on this planet. And set in our homes and in the living rooms and watch the news on TV. and see what is happening to any people living in any nation or in any geography on this planet

So they recognize that is the time of the oneness of the human family, the unity of the human family that's demanding that we get acquainted with each other so we can know each other better and respect each other more and benefit from each other's resources. When you know one another "oh you got something I need brother I live in America but we need what you got here." They say "Oh brother you in America? You got what we need very badly here." That's what   Allah (swt) created for so we can go out and populate the world, populate the globe and discover what Allah (swt) put in this, on this table spread for all of us. And meet together and make each other acquainted with who we are and what we have to put on this table for all of us, this is the time.

Power Man Give It Back To G-d

So Allah (swt) wants us He wants us to give Him our power man should not want the power except to give it back to G-d. G-d wants us to Him our power, yes, our spiritual power, our social power and our material power.

Q.2.193; Fight until Religion is for G-d

"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Now if any nation will have citizenry that will be pleased with the leader, the government and the nation giving its spiritual power, its social power, its material power to G-d, G-d He will stand them up and nothing will be able to knock them down or come against them. And I can see that the best of nations especially the best of them they are working to get their nation in that picture where their Religion is for G-d.   And fight them until Religion is for G-d, isn't that what Allah (swt) says?

So we have to fight the opposition, we have to struggle and fight the opposition with the means that Allah (swt) avails us or make it possible for us to have with those means that Allah (swt) make possible for us to have. We are to use those means and struggle with those means to have Religion for Allah (swt) Who created everything, for G-d the true 
G-d, Himself alone.

CD-Rom Library Collection of Hadiths 44 Sod: J
The Ink of scholar more precious than blood of martyr

Umraan ibn Husain said the Prophet (pbuh) said 'Weighing on the Resurrection Day the ink of the Scholars and the blood of the martyrs.   Then it will outweigh the ink of the scholars over the blood of the martyrs.

Because without that we're still enslaved, we're still oppressed so in order to free ourselves with the community of mankind we have to have a struggle and the best of struggles is not with swords or metal or material things, gun, weapons of that nature, the best of struggle is the struggle with the instrument of war or for war that G-d gave you. And what instrument for war did G-d give us? His Word and Muhammad (pbuh) said in this view here Muhammad (pbuh) said "the pen of the scholar is mightier than the sword of the martyr ", so what is he saying to the great fighters who fight the physical war ? He's saying to them this is a means Allah (swt) has made available to you. for you to fight your enemies and gain victory with His permission. Bu the greater battle is not fought in this picture here, greater battle is fought with the pen of the scholar, that's mightier than the sword of the martyr.

So we know the greatest r struggle is the struggle in obedience with our intellect and obedience to the Plan of G-d for mankind, struggle with our intellect in obedience with the plant that G-d has for His human creation, that's the greatest war, that's the greatest struggle, that's the greatest battle, that's the superior one.

Q. 2.36; Get down from here in earth dwelling for a time 

"Then did Satan make them slip from the (garden) and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: "Get ye down all (ye people) with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time."

Q. 20.55; earth born, die, resurrected

Al hadith 4p. 178#42; Earth shown Gabriel paradise before Satan

So we have to work with our intellect and with our spirit to bring our spirit in obedience to G-d, not just my spirit I shouldn't be satisfied until my family spirit and is also for G-d and my social life and my family's social life is also for I G-d. And the world's spirit and social life is also for G-d, and lastly my material power and my family and the
world's material power is also for G-d.

That stands in the way of what the great destiny, fulfillment of dreams here on this side, that G-d has planned for us.

If the spirit of the people is not for G-d its for self destruction, its for the dominance over somebody else, if the spirit of the people is not for G-d we cannot have on this earth this great home, this beautiful place that G-d wants us to have on this earth. A place that's like a paradise, yes resembling a paradise, G-d didn't tell us this world was a paradise or an Eden before the Satan messed it up or deceived us our father and had him go in the wrong way. G-d didn't tell us that to tell us nothing if you obey His plan for you, you will have paradise on this earth. It will be a paradise, "oh but the man was put in a paradise up in the sky, yes he was and G-d said "in the earth you will find your destiny so to speak, you will find your needs", that's what He said in the earth you will find your needs and the earth is the place for your meeting, there you will die and from it you will be resurrected into life again, that what G-d said, alright.

Eden on Earth Mesopotamia

And most of the people who are knowledgeable of Scripture they don't think Eden is up in the sky, the garden of Eden was up in the sky, they think Eden was on earth in the area that they studied in past times that was a beautiful physical area and an area where mankind was enjoying all the beauty and wonders of creation and nature, where Mesopotamia is, down in there.

And the Arabs believe it was in Arabia where the Kabah is, they believe that one of their ancestors by the name of Adnan enjoyed with his people and existence like a paradise on earth. And they believe that, that was the garden of Eden that the Scriptures are referring to. They believe that Eden is an attempt to write Adnan, not Eden but Adnan.   Now I'm not saying that they're correct I don't know to tell you the truth, all I know is that G-d says He will give paradise us a paradise and the paradise will be as the width or the expanse of the skies and this earth, that was G-d says.

So G-d doesn't tell us to look outside of His creation for the destiny, for the beautiful paradise that He has offered planned for us or offered to us. G-d tells us look in this material realm and in this material realm is the space for the paradise that He's going to give us. So the skies are more material bodies like the one here, in the skies are more
material bodies. The sky is not ether and only ether, the sky is filled with material bodies like this one we live on. Some hot and boiling, smoking and gaseous, but some solid just like this one.

And G-d says He's going to gather from the skies and from the earth men for the judgment, isn't that in the Quran? Yes I know its there, if you don't, He says He's going to gather up souls from the sky and earth for the judgment. So that means somebody is going to be up there then and is not going to be a perfect angel either, you don't gather the angels for judgment. This is what .Allah (swt) says to us in our Quran, we can't take the Quran in part we have to take all of it, if we're rational men. We have to take the whole Holy Quran not part of it.

So how are you going to understand these things if you don't follow me? I'm not bragging but I'm the one who's making the connections, now if you don't follow the guidance that G-d has blessed me with tell me how are you going to stay in this Religion and advance you intellect. If you intellect to keep advancing you're going to go crazy or you're going to go out of this Religion or you're going to say "hey Imam W. Deen Mohammed he's my leader", he's my leader, he led me out of the confusion I was in Allah (swt) knows that, yes, so understand this alright.

Appreciate Good From Anybody 

So we should be working for the whole of humanity because we are one family with all people and we have to get it in our spirit the appreciation for the good that anybody does.

Slavery Put In The Past

So forget about slavery that was put on us by bad people, not necessarily by white people, by bad people, that was put on us. So forget all the hurt in the past when you were trying to walk the walk that G-d wants us to walk in His path, don't let that burden while you're walking in this path of G-d. Put that aside it isn't important enough that is not more important than the path of G-d, what I hurt and experienced as a people in my past, its not as important as going to this great Dar As Salaam, abode of peace that G-d says He created us for on this earth, yes. Its not as important as that.

So let us when we are going forward with Allah's (swt) plan for us let us put aside our hurt as a people and lets go forward with this plan that G-d has given us for our great future, beautiful, heavenly future on earth and even more so in the hereafter when this is complete. And scientists say this universe is going to die one day, we see that it is not eternal. It is a living and a dying material world, so let us prepare for the day when the sun goes out and the earth freezes up and all of the connections are lost busted and sent asunder in the space and nothing is existing any more but the Face of G-d.

Let us prepare for that day when He will bring it forth again a new creation and we will be creatures in a new dimension of G-d's Plan and there will be no dying and sickness and weeping and ugliness and hate and all that will be gone and we will be beautiful eternally and pleasant and peaceful eternally. Let us plan for that day.

And for us, oh for science billions and trillion and trillions of light years away but for G-d it as the blinking of the eye. He say you will close you eyes and wake up and say "seems that I only been sleep for a day" and you will wake up in a new creation. But don't forget what He has said, "Seek with the means" G-d has given you, you're a human being, you're the most marvelous creation from this earth that G-d made, no other creature made of the matter that He created superior to you; no.

You are the best you have the best possibility so He says "Seek with the means that He has availed you the hereafter but don't neglect or forget your share of this dunya, this material world." alright, ok.

Get it in our spirit that we want to submit ourselves and want to see the whole of mankind on this earth submit his spiritual power, our spiritual power, our social power and our material power to the One Who created it and made all this possible for us. And this is my conclusion and we pray:

Imam Darnell Karim:
Brothers and sisters can you be seated for one minute Imam Nadir Ahmad has a presentation of a new publication, very important and he wanted to present it real quick.

Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Yes, may I, I've seen the publication so I won't stay here with you, I've seen it and I'm very excited about the possibilities for our Imams being in greater unity with each other and getting more help for the job that should be accepted by us as Imams thank you. Ramadan Mubarak.

Nadir Ahmad:
Ramadan Mubarak dear believers very briefly we have a manual here that's a leadership training and development study guide for the men and women of our community. Its by the facilitator of this effort Imam Caesium Ahmed he has a team of men and women and the youth in our community that have taken the tapes of the Imam W. Deen Mohammed, transcribed it, put the Quranic and hadith references to go with it, it has a glossary, a dictionary and this is a first of a series that will come out in support of Imam W. Deen Mohammed's leadership.
