The Womb Of Law - Part 3

Imam W.D. Muhammad

__________________________________________________________________

18. Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us). 

19. To Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: Even those who are in His (very) Presence are not too proud to serve Him, nor are they (ever) weary (of His service): 

20. They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or intermit.

Holy Quran - Yusuf Ali Translation - Sura 21, Verses 18-20

According to the Bible scripture, David killed the six-fingered and six-toed giant, Goliath, with one stone fired into the center of his forehead. Goliath was the mighty warrior of the enemy that none of the rest of the soldiers was brave enough to encounter face-to-face in battle. As we have explained to you in previous articles, the forehead (in this sense of spiritual symbolism) represents the center of the intelligence of the world or the society of materialism. We are destroying that unnatural grafted world with the first principle of Islam, which is the belief in the One God.


We Have David's Power

Because we believe in the One God, Who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, we submit totally to His divine law. Today, we in the World Community of Islam in the West have the same power that David had, and we are doing the same job that he did. We are not being boastful or proud when we make such statements, but we are proud of the divine workings and the divine gift that Allah has blessed us with today. This is exactly the way we are supposed to be with such a blessing. Almighty God does not want anybody to hide the great work that He is doing. When Almighty God gives you a gift, He wants you to show the world that you have gotten something that is not just another ordinary gift. He wants you to show this great gift to the world. God wants His people to be bold people.


God's People

Of the men who were given missions of Almighty God, the Bible tells us that some of them were brave, eager and anxious to do what God wanted them to do. Some of them, like Moses, were nervous. Moses was nervous to go before Pharaoh, so God agreed to let Moses take his brother, Aaron, with him. The bolder Moses spoke in representing Almighty God, the bolder God came out to back him up.

Read the Bible and you will see that Almighty God calls to a society of His people to follow Him and to have His name. The society of God's people (the righteous people) is referred to as "God's wife." He charges that people with raising children for Him in the divine knowledge. Once the society has come into the knowledge of God and He has taken them as His "wife," He charges them to go out and to convert other people. This makes "children" for God all over the world.


We Are The "Wife" Of God

Speaking symbolically, if we are the "wife" of God, God should be seen and judged exactly as we see and judge ourselves. If it hurts you to see your loved ones not acknowledging your great gifts and great love for them, you should know that it "hurts" God for you to receive great gifts and love from Him and not acknowledge those gifts to the world. Of course, you cannot hurt God as you would hurt a human being, but you hurt Him in a different way. Your refusal to acknowledge His gift to you is not pain to Him, it is hurt to His creation because all wrongs that are committed in creation must be righted. If Almighty God blesses you with something and you want to get results from Him, tell the world that He has blessed you with that gift. If you will speak to the people with courage and with confidence, Allah will bless you with more strength and He will also bless your efforts with results.

111. Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme. 

112. Those that turn (to Allah. in repentance; that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah.- (These do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers.

Holy Quran - Yusuf Ali Translation - Sura 9, Verses 111-112

Stand Up For Truth

Almighty God is blessing the World Community of Islam with success today because He knows that when people are attracted to us because of the message that we have to offer them, we are going to tell them where we got the gift from. You know that the Chief Imam is not going to tell the people that he is the God and that he is the author of this great truth. When they come to the Mosque of Islam, I am going to tell them that I have nothing but what Allah blesses me with.

I pray to Allah daily to give me guidance. Then, after giving me the guidance, I pray to Him to protect that gift that He has guided me with so that I never lose it. Every time before I speak to you, I ask Allah to empty out of me every personal thing that is in me and to separate me from every personal motive. I ask Him to fill me with only His desire and His will for His world and for His people. When they hear me, I do not want them to hear W. D. Muhammad, I want them to hear only Almighty God. If we stand up for truth 100 per cent, we will certainly liberate the world.


Natural Organization

The Book (Bible) says that when David was about to go into a great battle and he needed support from his people, his men gave out with one voice saying, "David, O' king, we are your flesh and your bone." Your flesh and your bone serve you and they sacrifice for what you want. When you are sleeping, your hand might be moving or your eyes might be twitching. You do not know what your organs are doing when you are asleep. But, when you wake up, all of the members of your body acknowledge that the king is on the throne. This is the kind of organization that we are working for in the World Community of Islam. We are working for an organization that is naturally represented in the makeup of the very body that we live in.


God's Sign For Government

It is wonderful how Allah gives us the best instructions. Who could give better instructions on how to organize our society than the One Who has given us our physical body?

20. On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, 

21. As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?

Holy Quran - Yusuf Ali Translation - Sura 51, Verses 20-21
___________________________________________________________________

If you have a sore on your foot that is hurting you, it is letting you know that you have troubled the foot with bad shoes. In that way, it is serving you. If you have a stomach ache, your stomach is letting you know that something went wrong in your digestion so that you can find some help. In that way, it is also serving you. God set a sign of government in His creation that is the best sign, the best example, and the best pattern for government.


The Umbrella Of Divine Leadership

Some people would rather serve darkness, corruption, confusion, the enemies of themselves, and go around with a headless body than to get a head on their body. Some people do not want any leader. They say that they do not want anyone telling them what to do. When you accept to come into the World Community of Islam, you come under the umbrella of divine leadership. There is no such thing as people living in this world without leadership. You either have Almighty God as your leader, or you have the forces of this world as your leader.

I am not my own leader, Almighty God is my leader. If I do not have Almighty God as my leader, the forces of this world would be my leader without me knowing it.


Are You Independent Of Law?

Who taught you to say that you do not want anybody telling you what to do? You cannot live in a world where no one tells you what to do. In the house where I grew up, somebody certainly told me what to do. If I had not learned how to obey at home with my mother and my father, I might not be alive to talk to you today. Once you get out in this vicious world, the people do not take time with you like your mother and your father take with you.

If you are so independent of law, why did you need someone to teach you how to drive so that you could get a driver's license? Why didn't you just get in your car and drive it without a license? You took the time to obey the law and to get a driver's license because you knew what would happen to you if you really tried to act out the ignorant idea you say you believe. You would have been finished very soon. You know that you have to obey people. In this society you are free to drink. But if you get drunk in the wrong place, you know what will happen to you—they will throw you in jail. In this society you are free to gamble. But, if you gamble in the wrong place, you know what will happen to you if they catch you. In this society you are also free to curse. But if you start cursing and swearing in some places, they will also throw you in jail.


Make-Believe Reality

When you talk of being independent of law and when you say that nobody can tell you what to do, you are telling the world that you are nothing but a small-minded child in your mental growth. There is no such thing as people being completely independent. No person is independent and no nation is independent. Every nation needs other nations to survive and every person needs other people to survive. All the people of the world breathe one air and all of the continents of the earth are connected with one water.

Among the Bilalian community, we have some ignorant and totally destroyed people who have a crazy, make-believe idea of what the reality of the world is. This world of grafted, unnatural mentality is satisfied with you believing in these crazy ideas because they know that children can only make so much trouble for grownups. You can make a lot of noise and dirty up the place and you can make the society of grownups unsightly. But when you get them too disturbed with you, they know that you are nothing but children and they will come upon you with physical weapons to injure you or to kill you.

Why do you continue to be children when you now have the opportunity to be a grownup people? Come out of foolishness, brother and sister. The World Community of Islam is building a society that is going to be a model society (an example society) for the whole world and we have to be serious.


Origin Of Human Society

The human society grows up from two people: a man and a woman meet and have children. These children have children and soon there is a big family of relatives that started from just two people. This big family needs more protection than was needed when there was just the first parents and the first children. The bigger family needs to preserve its knowledge so that its newcomers will have something to go on. It needs to build up a strong community so that it will survive bad weather and wild beasts. As it builds up, it grows to be a big tribe that fights the hard environment to keep itself surviving. It preserves all that it can preserve so that the tribe will be strong.

Either by venturing out or by some other tribe visiting its land, other problems are created if the two tribes do not meet each other and agree to live in peace. After meeting, each tribe has to try to protect what it has from the other tribe. Before coming in contact with another tribe, the first tribe had nothing but laws for a family. After it comes in contact with another tribe, it needs laws to protect its possessions from the other tribe that might take everything that the first tribe has.
