"Big Fields Await the Wide Awake Man" by Isma'il Latif Umayya (Understanding GodAllah)

2012-01-25T08:12:00.000-08:00

Consider this:

-If you went to "sleep" and in the morning and alarm went off and you woke up to it. And now you are awake. WIDE AWAKE

So, say your Mother (or man, woman, friend, etc) calls or yells your name and you respond "Yeah I'm Up!"

Let's say some time pass and "they" call you again. And you reply "yeah yeah i'm up I'm wide awake!"

Let's say after some more time, let's say you have a job and your boss calls you, or you have your own business and your employee calls you, or you have children who need to be escorted or a ride to school. And your reply to all of the above said is…"Yeah i'm up i'm awake Wide awake!"

Then there are more calls from the same people. Some yelling and complaining and some asking if you are alright. And your reply is "I'm up I'm Wide Awake!"

Then the calls become so much that you retort with this as your argument to respond:
"Look! I'm Awake. Can't you see that. LOOK AT ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE OUT HERE SLEEPING, ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE DEAD. Do you see them. I'm not them I'm awake. I'm not asleep!!!!"

-What's the problem here?

-What's the issue here?

-The issue is not you being awake. The issue is not getting up, being in motion, proceeding to the set destination! That's the issue!

-Being Awake is a PART or step in a "PROCESS." A PROCESS that entails knowledge you had before you went to sleep although made very clear once you "WAKE UP."

-No one's doors get open, No one's business gets help, No child(children) get to their destination (if you understand) because you keep saying "I'm awake."

-In fact, after a moment those around you who have far less knowledge will see for themselves that although what you have might be best, what you say might be best. In truth you just not the one. Cause you not doing what the knowledge you have requires.

So at that point the people in need of you will either become bitter and complain about you or move on. Or both. Then they have to move out with 1/2 knowledge because the ONE with the full knowledge is still stuck at "I'm Awake!"

Being conscious isn't enough. Being Aware is not enough!

Acknowledging the car, washing machine, school is broke is not enough. It's already expected of the "conscious" to recognize the problem. The thing is. It's the MUSLIM's JOB to FIX IT!!!!

Islam is a Verb!

Wali Mohammed (R.I.P.)

2012-01-22T10:27:00.000-08:00

As-Salaam-Alaikum,

Our beloved brother Wali Mohammad (fka Walter 6X Youngblood), long time trainer and companion to Muhammad Ali, as well as one of the pioneers of Harlem's Temple #7 and Newark's Temple #25, has returned to Allah. Services were held today at Harlem's Unity Funeral Home. Bro. Wali Mohammed also worked with boxing great Sugar Ray Robinson, also among jazz greats such as Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James and many others, as well as helped convert 5% Nation founders Clarence 13X (Allah) and Justice to Islam. He was once married to Gail Fisher, one of the first Black women to appear on the TV screen who starred on the Television Program "Mannixx" as Peggy.

May Allah Be Pleased With HIm, and may He Rest in Power.

Salaam Alaikum.

"The Black Woman is Goddess" by Dr. Wesley Muhammad

2012-01-21T10:16:00.000-08:00

The Black Woman is Goddess

"The woman is made after the womb out of which God created Himself, and in the woman is the Secret of God. The reason you are far away from God is because of your attitude towards women. You will never find God and you will never grow to honor God, as long as you are a mistreater and disrespecter of women. The woman is the Secret and she contains the Secret....The riddle has been with God, but the secret of the riddle is in woman, and unless and until we become better acquainted with who she is, you may never see who you are." The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, “WHO IS GOD?” February 24, 1991

The Black Woman herself is Goddess, the Co-Creator with God, the Black Man. I take the Ma'atic - or should I say, Ma'atic Islam - approach. As Carolyn Graves-Brown, Curator of the Egypt Center at Swansea University, points out in her book, Dancing For Hathor: Women in Ancient Egypt (London and New York: Continuum, 2010) 2,101, 102.

"in ancient Egypt, it was men who were considered the creators…The woman was important in creation, but...as the arouser of the male and a vessel for his child. The idea of the male creator extended to the world of the gods. There was no concept of mother earth, but rather the earth was personified as the male god, Geb...

“For the Egyptians, both the earth and the annual inundation that fertilized the land were male. The word for ‘to conceive of child’ in ancient Egyptian was the same as the word ‘to receive’ or ‘to take’, showing the role of the woman as simply the vessel for the already created child…all scarab beetles, for example, were believed to be male. It is only in the Graeco-Roman Period that a female is given credit for the forming of a child. While…the male god Khnum, the potter, is credited with creation and birth of children through spinning the wheel, by the Graeco-Roman Period, Hathor is sometimes credited with spinning the wheel."

The same observation is made by Prof Ann Macy Roth, Egyptologist from New York University, in her article “Gender Roles in Ancient Egypt” (in Daniel C. Snell [ed.] A Companion to the Ancient Near East (Blackwell Publishing, 2005) 213.

"The male role in sexual reproduction was seen as the actual creation of new life, which was then implanted in the female. Fundamentally, children were viewed as the extensions of their father’s life force; the mother’s role in determining their nature was decidedly secondary. Instead, women seem to have had a dual role: they aroused the man and stimulated his creative act with their beauty and sexual attractiveness, and then they nourished the life that his creative power produced."

This idea that the man/god is the actual, ultimate source of life, while the woman/goddess is the matrix in which the divine child is created and and nourished, is clearly expressed in the mythic and cosmogonic inscriptions of Kemet. It is captured by the divine and royal title, kᴣ mwt. f (Kamutef), “Bull of his Mother,” which articulates the continual self-generation of the male god through the agency of the female, the mother goddess.

The Creator of the Cosmos and all in it is the ithyphallic Black God.

The Secret of Black God's Self-Creation is recapitulated in the womb of the Black Woman during every pregnancy. By studying that process, we learn the Secret of how God self-evolved.

"The Nephew and the Message" by Isma'il Latif Umayya (Understanding GodAllah)

2012-01-21T09:14:00.000-08:00

If a man showed up to your door one day to announce that your "father" who had raised you and taught you that had kidnapped your (biological) family, was a rapist, murderer, abuser, business man etc… HAD "EXPIRED!" (died).

And that man at your door say, said even though you didn't know him that He was in fact your real father's, brother's son. IE NEPHEW.

And he understood that in telling you that your "Father" (that raised you) had passed would leave a void of who you really were and what you should really do and out of His generosity left his "Aide" to teach you now what to do since your "ADOPTIVE FATHER" had EXPIRED it would be math…

Some would be so elated that they would jump and leave and not realize that they didn't know anything else but what their "Father" taught them, thus succumbing to "his" world and "his" "relatives" wisdom which had "died" with the father in "his world."

Some would get it. They'd listen to the nephews "Aide" and say "what?" he dead? His time is up? Say no more… and take the advice and instruction and begin to build…

Then there would be a remnant like the 1st group that would hold on to the same logic they had when their "father" was with them. That they can't do anything because of their (adoptive) "father." Thus using the same excuse the whole family had before they got the "good news." These people may repeat what the "Aide" told them and said, but they never internalized it.

They actually are keeping their (adoptive) "father" alive thus hindering their own relatives who moved out to build a world of their own. Even though they are family and have the same teacher.

So when one looks at the subtleties of the "AIDE" he said things like "mind your own business." This is not just some phrase meaning "stay outta mines." It also means do what fits you (best).

And other subtleties that HE taught knowing the reality of the stigma like: Get a group of "LIKE-MINDED" people together and "POOL YOUR RESOURCES."

Things like this would keep the factions from arguing and fighting over things because all parties really want the same thing.

That's why the "Nephew" left the "Aide."

So the people that only accept the "Aide" as a "Messenger" and refuse to accept and internalize the "Message" and "teaching" that HE set up, will fall into a strange place because it's like a car on ether or fumes.

It can only go so far because the "Gas" had "EXPIRED."

The problem 80 years ago is the same problem today

LACK OF: Identity & Culture. And Self-Imposed ILLITERACY (comprehension)

The ILLITERATE is always WAY TOO SOCIAL. If the ILLITERATE HAS CULTURE then the socializing is used to help gain employment or corner a trade associated with that "group." Like an ethnicity commonly known to be nurses or construction workers etc… The culture will allow them to have "ways" to survive based on diet, and family structure and such.

The ILLITERATE WITH IDENTITY typically will act out aggressively and react violently out of bitterness and anger.

So the AIDE bringing Culture and Identity made sure to teach the history of the adoptive "Father" figure so the relatives would recognize the behaviours not to argue but to avoid and turn away from, so they would not be distracted in building their own "new" world. Made out of their idea of who they are as a people.

He likes the devil because the devil gives him nothing.

This is the mindstate of the person who refuses to believe that the "DEVIL" has "expired."

So he/her is self-imprisoned by following the "ETHER" or "FUMES" of something already burnt out thus falling with the very thing they are following.

So for 80 years all the people in that line from that "NEPHEW" no matter what method they use or curriculum they set in front of the family it's all about getting "THE FAMILY" to recognize and internalize that the (adoptive) "Father" is "EXPIRED."

Thus the Nephew tells the Aide.

"ACCEPT YOUR OWN AND BE YOURSELF!"

What's the Purpose of Education? by Maulud Sadiq Allah

2012-01-21T06:49:00.000-08:00

What's the purpose of education?

Not the textbook answer that you could feed to the average adult who, like yourself, has been told the same lie for years. No. What's the answer you give your disinterested child that looks at you and your life and rather trade up for an entertainer that claims to be "Rich Forever." Or an entertainer who, while quickly going broke, still can be found on TV and in magazines.

Surely you don't feed them the college/good job mumbo jumbo.

Do you attempt to walk through the Study Guide about education with them? Are they extremely disinterested? Do you ask yourself why?

Perhaps the biggest problem with the "education" argument is the intended goal; to secure some degree of finance to be better able to buy things.

I know. We're beyond that. We're the Nation of Islam.

But it's quite evident how we view education as well.

If one were to take this board (or their local mosque or study group) and compiled the topics (on this board) or professions (of the mosque or study group), not only would you find a limited variety (of either topic or profession), you would find practically the exact same topics or professions from here (NYC) to there (LA)...and everywhere in between.

How is that proof that education as more than a means of employment hasn't took hold among us? Limited reality or limited interest are a result of limited education.

And it's not due to our Source Material.

If we didn't have Supreme Wisdom and were just to look at the realities brought forth by the Holy Qur-an; advancements in art architecture, astrology, botany, irrigation, medicine, the list is endless - one would have to ask what happened? (no one expected the Spanish Inquisition).

And we have Supreme Wisdom.

While outsiders tend to limit the info therein to merely theology, a Believer knows that issues of health, astronomy, complex math (many of the Problem Books solutions require at the least Calculus for their solution), history, physics, again, the list is endless.

So why is it that on a site dedicated to the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad the level of discourse seldom rises beyond mere emotionalism and sensationalism?

I'd argue it's all in how we view education.

In a world that's full of wonder and surprises that can be found in something as small and "insignicant" as a threading needle (where does that come from? who realized thar using that would be a good way to bind fabric?) to as large as a 747 (I mean, come on...), we continue to focus on the surface of all things...

It's all in how we view education and it's purpose. As long as we have a limited view of the purpose of it, we continue to live limited lives; subject to those people who dare to imagine and think big...like we taught them to - yes, we'll continue to be subjects to white folks...but that's not the conversation we're having, we'd rather call names...in his language, in his clothes, using his technology to express our anger at him. As long as we continue this behaviour, we show daily who our God is...and it ain't Master Fard Muhammad (He makes all things New)...

"Islam is Practical" by Wakeel Allah

2012-01-18T09:18:00.000-08:00

As-Salaam-Alaikum (Peace Be Unto You)

Allah teaches in the Quran that "mere belief accounts for nothing unless carried into practice." We often discuss beliefs in our circles, oftimes foregoing our practical beliefs in favor of trivial beliefs. It is much better for us to focus on the practical beliefs (fundamental teachings of Islam), and that way we can and are carrying them into practice and making it PRACTICAL (useful to self and kind, to do for self and kind).

Practical: adj.
1. Of, relating to, governed by, or acquired through practice or action, rather than theory, speculation, or ideals: 'gained practical experience of carpentry as a carpenter.'
2. Manifested in or involving practice: 'practical applications of calculus.'
3. Actually engaged in a specified occupation or a certain kind of work; practicing.
4. Capable of or suitable to being used or put into effect; useful: 'practical knowledge of engineering'.
5. Concerned with the production or operation of something useful: 'Construction is a practical art.'
6. Level-headed, efficient, and unspeculative.
7. Being actually so in almost every respect; virtual: 'a practical masterpiece.'

Purpose of this build: to help continue to raise the level of questions and content in our circles as a people in Islam, and to emphasize the practical application of Islam so that we may become more productive as individuals and collectively as a people.

As-Salaam-Alaikum (Peace be unto you)
Your brother in Islam,
Wakeel Allah

"On Teaching" by Maulud Sadiq Allah

2012-01-16T08:58:00.000-08:00

Learning how to teach is not an endeavor for the weak @ heart. I certainly am no authority nor do I believe I can provide anything outside of my own testimony. My schooling was in Radio/television/and Film and my natural temperament is jokingly sarcastic. Yet, when I first read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, my life was transformed and I wanted to find a way to have the same affect on others.

As stated before, upon first getting knowledge, many of us are angry - defensive, chomping at the bit and ready to attack anyone that challenges our views. I recall only having Supreme Math, Supreme Alphabets, The 12 Jewels, and Student Enrollment - backed by the Bible and Qur'an and feeling like I was armed with a semi-automatic weapon.

And I was quick to fire. One day, while me and a few other Brothers were leaving the mall, a Fellow Student approached me and asked, "Why you call yourself Allah - ain't that God?" You would've thought he said something about my mama the way I tore into him. And none of the Brothers that were with me stopped me or interrupted me. Knowing that what I was saying was right, I felt confident that their silence was approval.

Boy was I wrong.

As soon as I was done belittling the curious Student, one of the Brothers that acted as my Enlightetener said, "You don't know how to talk to people." It wasn't a question. I felt two feet tall.

The next day he gave me a few sheets of paper that I studied heavily called How To Properly Handle People (or something to that affect). And, while I'm still subject to being emotional at times because of my love of Islam, that was one of The Most Important Lessons in my life.

In the end, it's not about whether what you say is right or not - most of us know the truth, in the end it's knowing How to Convey the Message The Right way to Audience to which you are speaking. And, if it's your Brother or Sister, doing so with love (love doesn't have to be "soft," surely we've all heard of tough love) - because if the person that you're aiming to teach is being handled properly, the words that you're saying are true, and with love - if and when they object, it will because they are rejecting the truth - not you. In which case, the Qur'an provides clear guidance for those walking blindly in their inordinacy

"Learning Your History" by Maulud Sadiq Allah

2012-01-16T08:48:00.000-08:00

"How, in common sense, dare anyone say that we can know absolutely nothing positive about these past transactions, even if we cannot know all, even if we can know but little? And why should we be content merely to tint our picture with the colors that suit the changing taste of our own time?" C.H. Mcllwain 1936

Oft times what is said when one seeks to recover history of Master Fard Muhammad is one of a few things: that he popped up from no where and disappeared to no where, that he was a member of this organization or that organization, that he was this man or that man. Many explanations are speculation. Most often conclude that there's no way possible to know anything about Him other than what was taught to us by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

The reality is, we don't have to concoct some story based on our inferences, nor do we have to settle on myth. Sprinkled throughout different publications and newspaper articles there's clues to get to some point or conclusion: He was arrested, they confiscated papers, He stayed in a Hotel, Believers who knew Him were interviewed, and perhaps the greatest evidence - The Honorable Elijah Muhammad raised a Nation from the Wisdom that He received from this "mysterious" Man in a very short time period.

Let us focus on what all can agree about Master Fard Muhammad - Here is a man that went door to door, raised enough who wanted to hear His word, a building was secured, structure was given, and this has been the way of the Gods since. Learn your History - from where you are - and I guarantee you that The Founders of your Mosques' reality will mirror that of the Saviour's. And that's what we should all be striving for - to reproduce Self to Serve Him and all of Us who are Allah. Peace.

Disintegration to Rebuild by Maulud Sadiq Allah

2012-01-16T08:29:00.000-08:00

The chairs are gone. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's books are no longer allowed in the Mosque. Imam Warith Deen Muhammad has rolled out his books and Instruction Manuals to His Ministers. Muhammad Speaks is no more. Businesses sold. This is the Back drop.

The Nation of Islam, as it was known, is no more.

Where were all the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad? Where were the Mosques...Study Groups, where were the Believers those two years? Yes, there was Silas Muhammad's group. There were pockets of Believers across the US (Emmanuel Muhammad's, the Muhammad Speaks contingent in Culver City, California, the one in Dothan, Alabama - to name a few), but no movement - no group magnitized the people to unite into a BODY until 1977.

Many people stayed with Imam WD Muhammad. They felt it was the right thing to do. And Imam WD entered in the position with strength and a determined idea. He had an objective and he moved on it. First, he gave directives to all the Ministers on what to lecture about and what not to lecture about (His Minister's guides were books unto themselves). He also spoke heavily against his Father's teachings. This ran a large group away. But enough stayed. They stayed through the removal of the chairs, the elimination of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's books, the introduction of the Imam's books, Arabic classes, shifting of Ministers, embracing of all people - even the US government - they stayed.

But a whole lot fell out. Some fell out and back into the life that they lived before they found Islam. Others, having a staunch belief that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would never die, found their way into the Insane Asylum. Yes, there were even some others who felt it was there responsibility to Rebuild the Nation - coming upon that decision either through the study of scripture or just pure necessity. None of them really garnered a large following though so by the time 1977 rolled around, there was no longer any remnants of the once mighty Nation of Islam.

(There was an even smaller group who NEVER Believed the Honorable Elijah Muhammad dead - a small number, indeed.)

September 1977, all that would change. Having been on a tour of the world and seeing that the evils of white supremacy still dominated the globe, Minister Farrakhan was at a crossroads - enter into a life of entertainment or take up the work of Rebuilding His Father's Work. Enter in Brother Jabril Muhammad with two books (one of which we read, the other we have not) in California with the specific purpose of delivering said writings - a few days later, Minister Farrakhan had decided which road He would take - and two months later, November, He made the Announcement of what He would do.

The reality of the time was this - opposition to the Imam could get you a death threat. Rebuilding the Nation of Islam wasn't a mere talking and studying type movement - it was life or death. Minister Farrakhan travelled the Nation, city to city, with no security - there was no FOI, and those who believed in the Truth of what He said, stood in defense of Him. He had no money. He left His family at home in a city where the Imam's stronghold was. His Faith was in Allah.

From Nov 1977 until Feb 1981, Minister Farrakhan criss-crossed the Nation - speaking w/Believers who had left the teachings, were in asylums, were former Laborers, etc. He went to churches, formed alliances with Black organizations from coast to coast - giving lectures -building study groups - the structure of the Mosque was one of the last things set up.

It would be YEARS before there was any form of Nation of Islam as we know it. And while some people took some convincing, a large group of those who had left the Imam joined on to Aid in the Rebuild. It was an electrifying time.

"Islam: The Nature of God" by Boris Muhammad

2012-01-11T07:04:00.000-08:00

ISLAM: The Nature of God

1. QUESTION: IS “ISLAM” AN ORGANIZED RELIGION LIKE CHRISTIANITY?

MESSENGER: Islam is not a religion, as many people call it a religion. But, it is not a religion. The purpose of calling Islam a religion is only to get the attention of a world full of religious sects and groups of people, who call their faiths and beliefs religions. There is no such thing as the Righteous calling their righteousness and their duty of Self, God and Man, a religion.

The Holy Quran (5:3) reads as follows, “This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.” It is not that Islam is a religion; but in taking us out of the religious beliefs, God allows Himself and you to call Islam a religion. But, it is not a religion; according to the words in the Holy Quran (30:30), where it says that Islam is the Nature of us. And, if Islam is the very nature in which we were created, then it cannot be referred to as a religion, because religion is not created by nature.

2. QUESTION: IF “ISLAM” IS NOT A RELIGION, THEN HOW DID IT (ISLAM) AND THE BELIEF IN OTHER RELIGIONS COME ABOUT?

MESSENGER: We make religion by agreeing on various beliefs and ways of worship. But, Islam did not come to us in the way of a belief. Islam came to us in the way of the very nature in which we were created. And, since it is the nature in which God created us, then God Himself is referred to as being the Author of Islam; and Islam is the Nature of God.

So, I want you to understand that there has never been a concept of belief between the Creator and the creation. It is the very Law of Nature that takes over; since we are from God, and by nature we were created by God, and by nature we are of God, we can see that what we worship is of the Law of Nature; in which we were created; in that we are Muslims or we are Islamic People, because we were born to submit to God, Who is the Author and Creator of us. Then, we have no alternative but to submit to our Maker. So, Islam cannot be referred to as a religion. A religion is made by groups of people and its decisions are of people.

3. QUESTION: DEAR HOLY APOSTLE, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THE QURAN (5:3) MEANS WHEN ALLAH SAYS THAT “ISLAM” WAS GIVEN “AS” A RELIGION?

MESSENGER: The Holy Quran (30:30) condemns us in calling it a religion. Islam is our very nature, if someone says to you, “I am not giving to you a coat, but I am giving to you this blanket as a coat, you do not have a coat, but you have a blanket; something to keep you warm until you get a coat that will fit the form of the body in which the form of the body was made to be fitted; but, not a loose blanket thrown over the body.

So, when a man says I do not have a certain thing to give to you, but I give to you “this” in the place of that certain thing, it is the same as what the Holy Quran (5:3) means that I give to you “this” in place of that which you have been using, but this is not like that which you have been using; because “this” is the very nature of you, because religion is something which is organized and carried out by a person or groups of people, and various sects of people.

So, Islam does not mean it is a religion as it is preached, but it means that Islam is being given to a people as a religion; a people who call their beliefs a religion. So, here we have to make it clear that this is a people (The Black Man of America), who has been brought up under teachings of various religions. Therefore, to get him to understand, God says to us, “I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion”; not that Islam IS a religion, but Islam AS a religion to take away that which you believe and call religions.

Islam is given to replace that which the people believe and worship as a service to the Divine Supreme Being. The Divine Supreme Being knows that they are wrong to choose such a way to approach Him in worship. Now, he replaces that by saying He will give Islam as a religion, instead of that which you call a religion. Islam is the nature in which you were born. It is natural for you to do righteousness, because you are one of the Righteous. This is Islam.

4. IF “ISLAM” IS NOT A RELIGION, BUT THE NATURE OF THE ORIGINAL MAN, WHAT ABOUT THE CAUCASIAN WHITE MAN?

MESSENGER: If Islam is the Nature of us, then it cannot be a religion. Islam is referred to in the Holy Quran as Allah (God) being its Author. Then, if Allah is the Author of Islam, we cannot call it a religion; because it is the Nature of Allah (God), and it is Himself and Will of Himself for His Creatures and Creation.

The Holy Quran (16:49) teaches us that everything in the Heavens and in the Earth obeys the Law of Allah (God). This means that they do not disobey that Law in which they were created, because it is the very nature of them. The Heavens revolving on its axis is the nature in which they were created; to revolve on their axis. Allah again says in His Holy Quran there is no altering to His Creation. He set the Law, which is a Will over His Creation and everything bows to it. Allah (God) says to the Heavens according to the teachings of the Holy Quran to come willingly or unwillingly. The Heavens say in answer, according to their obedience: We come willingly. God says He gave the trust to the Heavens and all of His Creation and none disobeys, but the man devil (who was made to disobey). Therefore, it is impossible to make that which is made out of the Natural Law of Nature obey the Will of the Creator since it is not part of His Creation of Righteousness and Justice.

Islam is the nature of the Black Man, not of the white race, but the Black Man, the original man of the earth. Islam is his nature in which he is created. Therefore, it is his natural self. What has happened to the original man’s natural Self for the past six thousand (6,000) years? He has been found to try to live other than himself – this made self of the white race. They are made out of the nature of the Black Man. This is why these two cannot live in peace together unless one tried to imitate the other. This yet will not get a sure and true peace between the two because one is forced to do that which by nature he is not. There are many white people on our planet who are trying to live under Islam, which they are not by nature the people of Islam.

5. QUESTION: DEAR HOLY APOSTLE, MANY OF OUR PEOPLE (SO-CALLED NEGROES) BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE CHRISTIANS, ARE THEY CORRECT? CAN A SO-CALLED NEGRO BE A “CHRISTIAN”? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A “CHRISTIAN”?

MESSENGER: There are hundreds of millions of blacks trying to live under Christianity, the religion made by the white race. The Black Man is not a so-called Christian. So-called because the people who represents themselves to be Christians are not Christians from the meanings of the word Christian; It means to be Christianized or Christ-like. Therefore, this is other than the truth by the people who represent themselves to be Christians because they are not Christ-like.

To be Christ-like means to take on the nature of Christ and to be like him. And, the Christian is referred to as the “Mahdi”; coming in the last day to crush the wicked world. So again, this Christian means one coming in the last day to crush the wicked. The very name means that of a crusher. The Christian says he is the anointed one – I agree. He is the one prepared to crush the wicked. Islam refers to that person as the “Mahdi” or the “Mahdiah”.

"The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Day" by Isma'il Latif Umayya (Understanding GodAllah)

2012-01-11T06:52:00.000-08:00

Ques. Did you know that the city of Chicago honored "The Messenger" with Elijah Muhammad Day? How did He go from being Public Enemy #1 to having the city honor Him?

ans. Yes (1974).

1st from where i stand (on the square of truth), i disagree with your last question.

I don't "think" THEM ever went from PE#1 and then that subsided at all. He (or whoever was gonna be the Black Messiah) remained PE#1.

I believe there are multiple factors to this and two or so i will expound on.

1. Sociological

THEM being honored by Mayor Daly in Chicago is more of a sociological feat if you will that surrounds many of the cultural more's of Chicago. What do i mean?

In Chicago there's a long (more than 100 year) history of something that for lack of a better term i would call "Irish Justice." Some (that are educated) would know it to just be "American Justice." What that is… It's using the same tactics that people use to commit unjust acts on you to bring about justice. It's literally the political Culture of Chicago. The famed Attorney Clarence Darrow (of Chicago) and many others have written on this.

So in a sociological sense the Irish & Polish communities have a great RESPECT (not "like") for people who do not complain, cry or beg and fix their own problems. And TMHEM had earned that respect by that establishment.

You have to understand The Immigrant Mind too. The Irish and Polish immigrant mind was still fresh in the City. The immigrant mentality always recognizes itself in others. By 1974 that's what the "Black Muslims" could best be defined as and definitely appeared as; "Immigrants." The Muslims (and others in the Black Community) had reached a point/place where they/we had nothing so therefore had nothing to lose and were using what they/we had to make something for itself. That's the classic immigrant mind. And many authors wrote into this regarding THEM.

If i was not a Muslim i would have to say that's one of the most profound feats that THEM did with our people is take a people that were placed in the "red"/ in a hole. And brought us up to zero/ put us in the "black." And if you are a Muslim you know that's Islam. The removal of guilt and debt. And that is what the immigrant mind comes to America with. The remaking of his/herself with no apologies and no guilt.

And although the small number of people who post on this "group" would tend to jump up and down and bash Imam WD Momhammed if you put him in context to time and place this is something he never strayed from although he articulated it differently. And that is that WE (Black People in America) are a "new" people, kind of a "tafsir" based on English Lesson C01. We have parts and pieces of things but after that "60 years" that is in that lesson we find that the 60 years from the date being referred to in that lesson is when THEM said that we are no longer those same people that were placed on those ships and brought over here. And he proved we are so much more…

continuing…

At that time there were many conflicts regarding "security" and economy. You'd be surprised how having a controlled, clean, quiet people benefit aspects of policing and the economy. Now this would not "fly" today for the cause it's moved to a Jail Economy. But at that time THEM was increasing the betterment of the City which makes the City look better because He did not rub their noses in it. And the Muslims helped Blacks become more self-policing.

Politically it also was sending a message to the establishment to wake up and pay attention to the intelligence and articulation of a population that they already feared of rising.

I could go on here but i will digress that point for now.

2. The other aspect is Polarization. The idea(s) of that era were to appease Blacks with jobs or programs to keep Blacks from gaining the respect and admiration and moreso the ability or desire to want to create for self or duplicate successful models from other Blacks. This would be a public show of a Black intelligence base that would even impress the common (non jewish) white man.

A modern view is like say, the Hip Hop MC COMMON. Right the more revolutionary, deep and introspective he became the more he was moving toward leadership (like Wyclef in Haiti) so it was appeased not with punishment or debasement but with promotion. This is WISE and tactical. So your popularity may rise but your power decreases. So we also see an attempt at this. And no doubt History proved that. In the end THEM was made to look like another leader that when he rose his people rose and when he "fell" the people would fall around his personality. And so it did. Allah is the Best Knower.

So we see in the arena of Politics & Security a rivalry to a degree or a Local view vs a National agenda (by security) and they clearly had opposed one another on a certain degree.

Lastly i would like to emphasize the Respect Issue. Whenever a person completely relies on what they believe they will no doubt be successful and gain even the respect of their enemies. Bilal's (radi Allahu anum) own slave master 1400 years ago as history reads was more enamored at his unwillingness to cowtow over choosing to submit to the master's orders.

Respect is a very powerful thing. Also is… We have the lessons. To Allah the "white man" is no threat. So to his Messenger it would be the same. THEM was not competing with the white people for racial equality. He was holding white people to their own words meanwhile building something in the society and in the people that was not competing with white people but building for the favor of Allah. And many internalized that and carry that and act on that today. Some are in organizations, some created organizations. Some are overt leaders some more intertwined in appearance to the "system."

But in the end it was Respect on a personal level that Mayor Daly had for THEM. Segregation was in their best interest then.

Today Chicago is changing. Chicago's then Jewish population didn't use media the way New York's did. Nowadays that's the same all over. The systematic criminalization of the image of the Black Male. That's just standard modus operandi. To kill the image of respect. Not to necessarily kill the image itself or even the polarization, just make the people not have respect for the individual. Better to follow the people like "repeaters" than respect them and internalize their words and make something or duplicate something good with it that would gain the respect of the community and abroad. So it did not attack THEM in that way. Also is… those politicians was "gangster." And this man THEM didn't even move for the President of the US. That garners respect right there.

I have to close with this. Our people collectively just had more familial wisdom then. And THEM's Wisdom well, i can't speak for how far that goes but greater than the rest. So in that day the people could see that putting someone on a pedestal didn't always mean honor it was often used as patronization. Today that's why it's so easy to control our people. We think/believe that television appearances represent power, so the producer's use this in a skillful way. With the NOI common press historically backfired but not as much today. People believe what ever you show them. Especially if they've been kind of beaten over the head with certain info or are from particular sects or generations.

But that "clanish" mind respected other "Clans." And the NOI appeared to be the Family of THEM.

Respect Garners Much. "Like" not so much. "Like" is based on emotion and the less culture one has the easier it is to use "Like" to gain their attention and move them in any direction.

Today many of the heroes and enemies you see through media are made by the same people. Let Wisdom tell it.

I'll leave the "how did we go from…" for another writing.

These questions are worthy of at least one chapter of a book to deal with it properly and show the workings of the answers to them.

"Is Our House on Fire?" by Maulud Sadiq Allah

2012-01-10T15:02:00.000-08:00

If your house was on fire, what would you grab?

It's a practical question - a question asked in almost every self-help seminar to express that we focus on many things that, if our life was threatened, we'd drop and turn to the things that are important.

Here's a newsflash: Our house is on fire.

I know you've read the statistics. I know you've seen the results of years and years of a slow-cooking plan to break-down the Black man and woman from their original state. Slavery couldn't and didn't do it. Jim Crow couldn't and didn't do it. So what did do it? Exactly what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad thought would do it - so-called integration. But that's not the purpose of this post.

The purpose of this post is to point out that we are a petty, distracted, and very damaged people - and the stench of the skunk that sprayed us carries over into everything we do or join. This Board is such a place.

Our house is on fire.

And, despite all of the statistics, we spend all of our time like those people on episodes of Hoarders (which, incidentally, isn't a a fictional work - it's real-life, not just entertainment) - we spend our time picking through the little things - why did the Honorable Elijah Muhammad use a semi-colon here and not a comma - do you think the Apostles represent Mosques - who is Enoch in real life and did he really exists - all the while MURDERS are increasing, Black businesses - the one's that aren't closing, are selling themselves away at an increasing rate - the Minister is calling out for us to do for ourselves - and we bob our heads like bobble head dolls.

Earlier, I posted two posts in the form of satire to show how trivial we've become - and, while extreme - the point was made.

Yes, I know, at any given time, you'll see a voice on here scream out to the 1,767 people on this board and say we need to do something - but it fades away like a person's voice screaming on a raft to a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. The Cruise Ship, of course, is LIFE, and the raft is what we have - a show of mercy given to us by the coming of Master Fard Muhammad. The ocean...c'mon - you get it.

What I'd be interested in seeing is a map - and on that map- a pullback with a red dot for every Believer on this page and their location. How many people do you think would be in a five mile radius someone on this board - that they've never seen in real life (for whatever reason) - but type to, respond to, daily? How many people (of those living in a five mile radius) do you think share a desire and passion for change? Why do you think those people never actually get together and work a real plan?

The reasons are endless (as this post could be) but the fact remains: Our house is on fire - and as long as we focus on the small, petty things, we're going to die in the flames just like everybody else in the house. Peace.

"Am I Problem Oriented or Solution Oriented?" by Isma'il Latif Umayya (Understanding GodAllah)

2012-01-06T07:36:00.000-08:00

Isma'il Latif Umayya

‎-Am I Problem Oriented or Solution Oriented?-

-Am I Solution Oriented with Problems or Do I make (unnecessary) Problems that I wallow in or am forced to solve (thus taking up valued time)?

-If so, "Why do i do this?"

-Do i have goals? Do I have goals within the collective mission of saving my people and being a civilized person?

-if not "why?"

-if so

-Do I pursue my goals?

-What are my distractions?

-Why do i stay in the distraction?

-is it attention
-loneliness
-validation
-fear

-What would be worse to fail trying to attain my goals & aims or continue to dream about them?

-Do i see other individuals or people or rotate around those doing things that i could do and don't even think or apply it to myself that i could do these same things?

-Do I put a self imposed "Jedi Mind Trick" on myself that i'm "helping" and that's why i can't afford to invest in my goals?

-How is not investing in my goals/development helping or Hindering that which i profess to be a helper of?

-How much time do i devote to gaining knowledge of the things that make up my goals and how to attain them?

-Will living through other people fulfill me?

-if so why?

Life isn't always a (public) conversation. Get to living to Get to dying (regretting).

In ISLAM "Life" is a thing that has Aim & Purpose. Each individual as his/her own mark to make.

When we see the accomplishments of each other (especially people without any culture) we tend to believe that we too can do those things, even if the motivation is out of jealousy.

Anyway. Just a reminder. Don't forget to Live (especially if you don't believe in a mystery god or you think there is nothing for you beyond the grave) cause this looks like it might be your chance.

Jumuah Mubarak.

Peace.

your brother in Islam. Understanding GodAllah

"The Twenty Four Scientists" by True Islam

2012-01-05T07:21:00.000-08:00

"The Twenty Four Scientists" by True Islam

To properly understand Master Fard Muhammad, one must understand the reality of the Twenty Four Scientists. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that Allah was a Man. He presided over a Divine Council which consisted of twenty-three other Black Men who are gods like Him but of a lesser degree. The twenty-four of them make up a Secret Order, the most secret of all Secret Orders. They are variously referred to as the Twenty Four Scientists, the Twenty Four Elders or the Council of The Gods. Muhammad teaches that these twenty-four men govern the universe and the Black Nation. Of the twenty-four, there are Twelve Major Scientists and Twelve Minor Scientists. They constitute the best minds of the Original Nation. Of the Twelve Major Scientists, One of them sits as Judge above all the others because He is the Best Knower. This One is called Allah.

These twenty-four men, who are gods, are the wisest Black Men anywhere on earth. They represent every tribe and color of the Nation of Islam. The inner circle of Twelve is the real power behind the universe. They hold within their circle all knowledge and they pass their wisdom down from Father to Son. The language of these men is Arabic and their way of life is Islam. Collectively, they are called Allah as the One Judge among them is called Allah.

These Twenty Four Scientists have nine main duties. Their first duty is to write history. But writing history for these Gods does not mean recording events after they happen. These Gods write the history of the world BEFORE it transpires. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that at the beginning of every 25,000 Year Cycle, twenty three Scientists would go out from the root of civilization to all four corners of the Earth; to every nation, among every kindred and tongue, and live among the people for a period of time studying the culture of that people. They would "tune in" to the thinking of the people. By tuning in on the thinking of the people, they could look down the line of time, and according to the dissatisfaction in the minds of the people, could predict exactly what the people would do and the time in which it would happen, for the next 25,000 years.

These Gods could look down the line of time to the fruition or fulfillment of yearning of this seed of dissatisfaction, and write the history: what will be, when it shall be, how it shall be, why it shall be. After they had tuned in on the earth, the Gods would reassemble back at the Root of Civilization. After sitting down and predicting what shall be allowed to transpire, the Twenty Fourth Scientist, the Judge and sole authority, would decided on what would be and what would not be. He, Allah, has the final decision and will ultimately give the command of 'Kun'-Be! He has the power to stop any of the predicted developments and cause it to develop a different way. But when He feels it is necessary for the history to be written as the Gods presented, it is guaranteed to transpire on the earth, for He has said 'Kun.'

This 25,000 Years of Prophetic History is put in a book that is kept by the Gods. They then make sure that history is fulfilled. They exacerbate the conditions on the earth to make sure it develops just as it was prophesied. When ever a segment of the History is about to be fulfilled, one of the Twelve Major Scientists raises up a man from the midst of a particular people and informs that man of the coming events. That man is made a "Prophet" and he then begins to prophesy. His prophecies are written down and are called "scriptures." Scriptures are writings that are portions of a greater writing. The scriptures of the world, the Bible, the Qur'an, the Zend-Avesta, and others, are portions of the Greater Writing, also called Holy Qur'an or Umm al-Kitab, the Mother Book. As we will show later, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and all of the prophets were approached by one of these Gods from the Circle of Twelve (Majors).

The number of Gods on this Divine Council being twenty-four is not arbitrary. Muhammad teaches,

"There is a significance to the number 24 Scientists and the 25,000 years. The number 24 Scientists used is in accordance with the hours in our day and the measurement of the circumference of our planet...Our planet is not exactly 25,000 miles in circumference, it is 24, 896 and we, according to astronomy, don't have a full 24-hour day but near that-23 hours, 56 minutes and 46 seconds. The change made in our planets rotation at the Poles is about one minute a year and takes 25,000 years to bring about a complete change in the region of the poles. The actual poles are inclined 23 1/2 degrees to the plane of its orbit. The original nation uses 23 Scientists to write the future of that nation for the next 25,000 years, and the 24th is the Judge or the One God, Allah."

These Scientists write the Prophetic History to equal our home (Earth) circumference of approximately 25,000 square miles; thus, a year for every mile.

The Scientists' duty is to guide the History of the Black Man in accord with the 25,000 Year Prophetic History and to fulfill the scriptures. The Bible is a book of prophecy which describes events that take us all the way into the Apocalypse.* As the History is written, the Twenty Four Scientists make sure it happens just as it is written. They are also responsible for imparting Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding to Allah's prophets and ministers.

These Scientists from the Black Nation guide the planets. The Caucasian creates satellites and sends then up in space to spin on their axis, but they often find themselves having to repair one. Allah likewise makes sure that His satellites (planets) are functioning properly.

They are also responsible for governing the Mother Ship and piloting it. More on that later. They destroy evil on the earth through the science of nature, by controlling the weather, rain, hail, snow and earthquakes. The Son of Man does all of this.

The Scientists are responsible for collecting and preserving the wisdom of the universe. When the Caucasian was released from the caves, he went all over the earth destroying the Black civilizations that he found. One of the things he did in the process was burn down the libraries that we stored divine knowledge in. This was repeated when whites invade Egypt, Chaldea, India and elsewhere. Today, writers mourn the loss of such works as the Egyptian Book of Thoth or Histories written by Manetho, or the Chaldean Histories written by Berosus. Scholars assume they were destroyed during the invasions. But in fact, it is the duty of the Gods to secure such wisdom and make sure it is not destroyed.

The Scientists serve as the "Heads" of the Black Nation. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that there were originally five billion members of the Black Nation on the earth that were divided into 12 Nations. The Head of each of these 12 Nations was one of the Twelve Major Scientists. They were each represented by one of the twelve constellations.

In the Muslim World, this Council of the Gods is referred to as the Exalted Assembly. Manley P. Hall, in his Mystics in Islam, observes

"According to certain mystical calculations, the true saints of the Moslem world are...the 'unseen men' who journey to all parts of the world according to the Will of God and are given authority over the affairs of mankind, both Moslem and non-Moslem. Sometimes these saints are collectively referred to as The Owners, or Masters of Destiny. The chief among them is known as the Center, and each morning the saints assemble at Mecca, presumably by some mystical projection of their higher natures, and report all they have done to the Center"

The Center here is the Judge, Allah. Hall further says of the Center,

"At the head of the hierarchy composing the inner or mystical Dervish Order is a most august sole, who is called the 'Axis' or 'Pole' of the universe… (H)e often wanders the earth in the garb of a novice. He is a Master of the power of magic, can make himself invisible at will, and traverse vast distances with the speed of thought...This great body of spiritual mystics, collectively the 'Lords of Souls' and 'Directors,' is an invisible government controlling all the temporal institutions of Islam, and far surpassing in power all earthly monarchs...With …AN INNER BODY COMPOSED OF GOD-MEN so highly advanced and so superior to ordinary humanity that they seem more mystical than real, it is evident that the Dervishes form a very powerful Order in the Islamic world."

This 'Axis of the Universe' is Allah Himself, the World King or Judge. It is interesting that He often walk's the earth as a novice (which is just a student instead of Master). Master Fard Muhammad, the Axis which we will deal with later, first appeared as a "prophet" instead of the God that He really was.

As stated in the beginning, this is a Secret Order. These Twenty Four constitute a fraternity of wise men, a grand order of adepts. Whites are aware of this Secret Order of God and have patterned their own secret orders after it. Giuseppe Mazzini, lord of the Alta Vandita which was the highest lodge of the blackest Freemasonry in France, Germany, and England, said in 1871 in a letter to his comrade Dr. Breidenstine a few years before his death:

"We form an association of brothers in all points of the globe. We wish to break every yoke. Yet, there is one unseen that can be hardly felt, yet it weighs on us. Whence comes it? Where is it? No one knows...or at least no one tells. This association is secret even to us the veterans of secret societies."

This "secret association" that weighs on them is the Secret Association of the Gods: The Twenty Four Scientists. It has come to be known in secular circles as "The Hierarchy," "The Great Brotherhood," or "The Hidden Directorate." It is said rule all of the secret societies and Mysteries through it's adepts. According to The Trail of the Serpent,

"…the higher grades of all hermetic societies 'require that the adept be enslaved by some astute mind or group of minds which, it would seem, seek to rule the nations through hypnotically controlled adepts…for one and all of these modern Mysteries are ruled by some unknown hierarchy…"

One of the secret societies that is reported to have received guidance from the Gods is the Golden Dawn Society of Germany. Samuel Liddell Mathers, reformer of the Golden Dawn in 1892, claimed that he received the Order's four ascending Adeptus Grades degrees from the Gods whom he called "The Secret Chiefs." In a meeting with his fellow initiates, he described his encounters with the Gods:

"As to the Secret Chiefs of the Order...from whom I have received my wisdom of the Second Order...I can tell you NOTHING (emphasis original). I know not even their earthly names, and I have rarely seen them in their physical bodies...My encounters with them have shown me how difficult it is for a mortal, however advanced, to support their presence...the sensation was that of being in contact with so terrible a force that I can only compare it to the continued effect which is usually experienced by any person to whom the flash of lightning passes during a violent storm; coupled with a DIFFICULTY OF RESPIRATION SIMILAR TO THE HALF STRANGLING EFFECT PRODUCED BY THE ETHER. As tested as I have been in occult work, I cannot conceive a much less advanced Initiate being able to support such a strain, even for five minutes without death ensuing...the nervous prostration after each meeting being terrible and accompanied by cold sweats and bleeding from the nose, mouth, and ears."

This Divine Council of Twelve has for trillions of years been the Supreme Government of the Black Nation with God (the Judge) as it's King. Until 66 trillion years ago, the King and His Host ruled the Nation openly and publicly. God was then known among the people. 66 trillion years ago, however, God went into hiding. After a Great God tried to destroy the planet with high explosives, God, along with His Council, "went underground." No more were they to rule the Nation openly. Instead, they became a secret order and governed the Nation clandestinely.

This withdrawing of God is a pivotal aspect of many aboriginal traditions which teaches that at one time God was on earth but has since "gone away." E.O. James, in his History of Religion, notes:

"In all these widely separated groups (aboriginal tribes)…the Supreme Being…is thought to have existed before death came into the world, and having made Himself, He lived on the earth, could 'go anywhere and do anything.' After a time, for one reason or another, He retired to the seclusion of the sky where He has lived ever since as the Great Chief."

God and His Entourage were to stay in hiding for a pre-determined number of years and then reveal their identity to the masses once again. In ancient Egypt, as we have shown, the Creator was a Black Man named Atum which means "the Self-Created." He was said to have been assisted by a "paut" or Council of Gods called the Ali. After time, Atum and his Ali hid themselves from the people. Atum's name was changed to Amen which means "the Hidden." Dr. Albert Churchward, in Origin and Evolution of Religion, says:

"The word Amen…means 'what is hidden,' 'what is not seen,' 'what cannot be seen.' The hymns to Amen often state that he is 'HIDDEN TO HIS CHILDREN,' 'HIDDEN TO GODS AND MEN.'…In the Hymns to Amen-Ra he is adored as one and the same as Atum, which shows that Amen is a later name for Atum: AND HE IS REPRESENTED AS 'THE HIDDEN GOD' OF AMENTA, OR 'THE SECRET EARTH.'"

God and His Divine Council were said to have hidden themselves in a secret subterranean kingdom called variously Amenta, Shamballah, Shangri-La, and Agarthi. From this hidden kingdom, God and His Host directs the affairs and the future of nations and individuals.

"Hate" by Isma'il Latif Umayya (Understanding GodAllah)

2012-01-01T17:38:00.000-08:00

Isma'il Latif Umayya

Hate. Whatever it is that one claims they hate, say the hate, "hate." That only goes so far. Nothing can be made from it, although one might get tired and worn out because of it. Hate can be like jumping through a 0. You come out on the other side with nothing. Like a Jumprope or hope being controlled by your wrists and arched over your head to your feet where you jump to skip the rope around and around. It raises your heartrate and gets you exercise but it makes it very hard to move and if one does move one uses much more energy to travel like this. It is Impractical. Hate is real but it can't supercede Love.

Hate ultimately ends up dissing the hater cause hate proves that the hater of a thing is actually scared. Scared to confront or find what they Love. Love is the force or mother of emotion to produce movement and creation that is beneficial and usable by all.

Oft times people, many of us claim so hard how much we Love Allah, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, The Honorable Minister Farrakhan & others, yet only manifest what we don't like, or what we say we hate.

That's proof of a lack of love. The hate of white people did not produce an independent organization that was trading goods with Portugal and then ultimately with Chile under a Communist government when it was illegal for the US to do trade with them and not get into any trouble. It was Love for the people and love and obedience for Allah that built and produced that material wealth. Everything that was based on hate fell on it's face. Because it showed that it's focus was displaced.

The Honorable Minister Farrakhan like any artist could never play the violin the way he does. He is very good at that craft. He could if he chose compete and play among the larger world stage of classical violinists. Yet he's not an entertainer. And isn't it funny. It's his love of knowledge and music coupled with his ability that make him play so beautifully and it's his love for his self and people and nation that keep him from being a road show violinist.

All Love.

To be blunt. It's some played out Black denial crap we do with all the hate rhetoric. That's Nationalism going/gone overboard. It sounds like church, it's all charged and hyped but it's like fireworks. A few moments later no sound, no smoke, no smell, no remnant it ever blasted.

Screaming i ain't afraid of this or that doesnt prove that one is not afraid. And if so then ok. At least then it can be evaluated and mastered. At least that's honest.

In closing.

I'm no personality, and that's cool, but in a few "days" that will be played out too. In fact it's already played out. But sufficed to say… Hate is not going to get you through. It's not going to help you create. It's an acknowledgement of that which you know is no good for you or your people or a thing. That's fine. But it cannot super cede LOVE.

It's Love that created an organization that so many claim to love. That give so many a home, a voice even a "style" sometimes.

White people are still here doing them cause there's no "math" no substance to yet uproot them. That's because the people with knowledge will not activate in motion. He's tired himself but there is no apparent replacement.

A Muslim would be quick to say that if a brother is killing his people selling drugs and because of that has a knowledge of leadership and business that he needs something to equally replace his abilities or for him to provide for himself. In fact alot of people would use that analogy to not condemn somebody. Well apply it to the world around us. He ain't given nothing up that looks like he'll no longer be able to "survive."

Study and concentrate on what we Love. And really if we Love. It's foolish for us to go from unapologetically advocating other planets, life on other planets, interplanetary travel that breaks recorded speeds, high technology a diet of one meal a day or one every other, a life free of vices such as alcohol and drugs, a lifestyle that implores learning, mastering and teaching, a lifestyle rooted in civilized behaviour, education at the forefront, marriage and family as a science for reproducing productive scientific creative people, and so on only to read a paper a magazine, study that shows that these things are true and say "see" even the white man believes it. that's what the 85% is supposed to do.

We not in a race with that. This is ours to live and be an example and through the life and example create curiosity and inquiring minds in others to raise up civilization.

Don't let HATE make your Islam into what Hip Hop made the hip hopper. Don't let it and don't devalue it from being a "participatory" culture to a "spectator sport." It's Ours.

Love is the Message.

Dr. Wesley Muhammad returns to Harlem on 7/19/09 to address: "Is Islam an Arab, slave making religion or an indigenous African religious culture?"

2009-07-12T10:18:00.000-07:00

Was Islam created by Africans or A-rabs? Was Ancient Kemet religious or ’spiritual’?

On July 19, 2009 Dr Wesley Muhammad PhD will return to Harlem NY to address the raging controversy over the important question: Is Islam an Arab, slave-making religion or an indigenous African religious culture? Dr. Muhammad will address the following, among other topics:

Be Civilized! Teach Civilization! Remain Civilized! by Wakeel Allah

2009-06-04T11:55:00.000-07:00

Peace!

In reflecting on Allah's teachings, as I constantly do, I feel compelled to share some of my understanding on what it means to be "civilized."

This term that Allah fought so strongly to establish in our minds and hearts, is cliche nowadays in the cipher of us who associate ourselves as "5%."

An influential brother and Master Builder from the NGE called me the other day and spoke on the fact that many who come in the name of the Father Allah aren't actually "civilized" and this is why we see savage kind of behavior being exemplified by individuals who wear and claim the Universal Flag or the Father Allah and his teachings.

While I wholeheartedly agree with my brother and know that he as well as his many students are very civilized, I added my see to this subject.

What I conveyed is that many of us who claim "civilization" versus those in the cipher who are outrightly "uncivilized", must understand that yes we are civilized as it relates to the 17th and 18th degree, yet in still, if we who are "civilized" don't show and prove the 19th and 20th degree, then we are not qualified to even claim to be "civilized" ourselves.

So how is it that we can condemn some Gods behavior as "uncivilized" in the secrecy of our conversations, yet we don't speak a word to our brothers who are in gross manifest error as it relates to understanding our divine culture which calls us to our moral obligation and to the high point of CIVILIZATION?

When we witness these acts, I notice that individuals are "deafenly" silent, and choose not to correct the vile behavior of individuals who come in the name of ALLAH yet show ultimate disrespect for themselves, their brothers, and the women and the children, and totally contradict the righteous teachings found in our lessons?

So we who are "civilized" sit back and say to ourselves or in our inner circle in secret "Did you see that God? Man, he sure was savage, and I don't agree with him." "But you know, I'm not like him, man, he's "uncivilized."

Yet, they won't say a peep to correct the person's behavior.

And the lessons clearly say that you are obligated to speak truth to power, you are obligated to speak to correct your brother out of love to uphold the integrity and dignity of our people.
When Musa went to the caves to civilize the Devil, at night he slept inside a "ring of fire." This was because the savage was afraid of the fire, and the ring of fire kept Musa (which means Civilizer) safe from the advances of the savages, in order that he might live another day to enlighten and civilize the savage.

Well, when you live the 19th and 20th degree, you add on to what the 20th degree identifies as "The Nation of Islam." That means it is a Nation of "civil law and order". It's a Nation of "High Mathematics." It's Nation of a collective group of persons who have taken on the duty of the righteous and are committed to upholding that duty, whether it requires them to take life to spare the innocent, or to give their lives in fighting for Islam against the wrongdoers. It's a Nation "with the power of the Sun" that extends a ring of fire around the righteous, so that we may live to see the end of the devil's civilization through removing the devil of our planet.
When Allah in the person of Clarence 13X came from the Temple back out into the streets of Harlem, it hurt his heart to witness the condition of some of these young children. It hurt his heart that some didn't have the proper guidance and some were overlooked even by the Muslim community. He said something to his family, meaning he mentioned later to his wife, brothers, sister and his children also some of the Elders and Firstborns why he decided to take on his mission.

Do you know what he referred to?

He referred to the principles or laws of CIVILIZATION as found in Lost-Found Muslim Lesson No. 2.

This was a driving force behind his mission. These great codes of conduct propelled him to stand as a God (servant and Father) over the 5%ers for a period of time.

When Allah almost died after being shot in the basement in 1964, he laid in his hospital bed severely wounded from his gunshots. At the time, he had only shared the Student Enrollment with his few students. Yet, while laying in bed realizing he could be taken away from his 5%, he "skipped" them straight to the 17th thru 20th degree in the Lost-Found Muslim Lesson No. 2.
What was Allah saying while reinforcing this message with 4 Cipher Akbar and Abu Shahid, while at the same time revealing this lesson to Hebekah, Karriem, Al-Jabbar, Al-Salaam, Niheem and later ABG and others? More will be revealed on that.

Now today, some of us who never received or accepted this message, we are hustling backwards in this world that has turned the Black Man "inside out and upside down."

So not only do brothers fail to adhere to the 17th thru 20th degree, they openly do the opposite!

So when a man speaks up to live the law of civilization, those who are afraid to speak against injustice, opt to attack the servant that does the will of Allah instead of correcting their peers who are guilty of violating the Lessons.

This has become the accepted culture by many today. This is a trait of so-called Negroes who enjoin evil talk and shun positivity. This is not Allah's teachings, nor the teachings of Allah's Messenger, this is the teaching of Yakub and his made devil (to glorify or not speak AGAINST indecent behavior and conduct).

For Allah's teaching are revealed in Holy Quran, "the righteous enjoin good and forbid evil."
So, the next time somebody feels like talking evil against brothers who are living the prescribed laws of civilization, ask yourself (if you in fact believe you are civilized), ask yourself did you speak a word to warn your brothers who were outrightly demonstrating savage behavior "in the name of Allah"? Do this before you speak against the righteous people!
A
nd I know, many will attempt to use one's "religion" as a shield.

There are those who are quick to speak against Gods who teach civilization and use the fact they include the term Muslim (amongst many other terms) to identify themselves and this acknowledging of the term in the Lesson alone is enough to justify why they ought to be condemned. And they say also that if you identify with the term in the Lesson then you can't be "with the Father."

It reminds me of in the New Testament when the wicked came to persecute Jesus (Prophet Isa). Check out how Jesus handled that below:

30 [Jesus talking] "I and [my] Father are one."

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

You see, the wrongdoers and hypocrites knew they couldn't justify condemning the righteous man for his works (although they desired to stop him from civilizing the people), so they concocted their "religious" argument. They were much more interested and what the man called himself, rather than interested in what good he contributed to society.

But check Isa out...Isa (Jesus) who knew his lessons (scripture) of that day, looked at the religious hypocrites and quoted the lesson showing and proving that he was right and exact and it was their ignorance in the name of religion that blinded them to the actual fact revealed in their own Lessons:

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

So it is the same with a righteous Gods today. When a hypocrite condemns you not for your righteous act, but for a term that is found in the lessons, just quote the Lesson that proves you are right and exact and "keep it moving" as the hypocrites will "wail and gnash their teeth."
You see, the religious hypocrite...is the worst hypocrite!

Keep teaching and showing and proving Allah Mathematics through your wisdom, power and culture.

Oh, "a man is justified through his wisdom (ways and actions)."

The Messenger said he "keeps one ear on what a man says and the other ear on where that man fits in the Quran [lessons]."

I say that to say classify or categorize an individual on whether or not he is 5%, 10% or 85% by assessing his wisdom or lack thereof (words, ways and actions).
Then you are justified to deal with him accordingly. And understand that when evil takes place in front of "the civilized" and they don't speak a word to correct their behavior of the brother in error, then they are telling you who they are.

But for those who speak to help their brothers correct their ways for the betterment of themselves and their communities....welcome to the righteous Nation (of Islam), and yes, this means the Gods and Earths and all righteous people in the Universe who adhere and complete the 20th degree through their deeds.

Love and Respect,

Peace,
Your Brother in Islam,
Wakeel Allah

"'Ghetto Scholarship': The Controversy" by Dr. Wesley Muhammad

2009-05-26T20:51:00.000-07:00

‘Ghetto Scholarship’: The Controversy

In the Name of Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad.I bare witness that Allah is God and that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is His Christ. I further bare witness that the Honorable Brother Minister Louis Farrakhan is Their Divine Reminder in our midst.

There has been a tremendous amount of comment regarding my use of the term ‘Ghetto Scholarship’. Numerous Youtube videos have been produced responding to it. Some people have applauded my use of this terminology; others have severely criticized it. While some of the criticism I fully understand and can even appreciate, some of it is based on misinformation or, worse, a desire to misrepresent what I have actually said. There is the desire on the part of some to paint me as an academic elitist, a bourgeois intellectual drunk on his ‘degrees’. Some have even made the claim that I am ‘attacking’ the hood itself because I characterized (and criticized) some of the scholarship of particular individuals as ‘ghetto’. Admittedly, if one is confronted with my use of this terminology outside of the context in which I used it, it would seem elitist. Thus, some people can be excused for this mistaken perception of me. However, some people know fullwell that the exact context in which I used this terminology in no way justifies this characterization of me. However, they insist on misrepresenting my position hoping that, by painting me as a bourgeois academic, they can make my legitimate criticisms of their work fall on deaf ears.

It is amazing that some of us Black folk are acting all sensitive and offended by the term ‘ghetto’, as if we each have not a time or two in our life said “that sh.. is ghetto”. What is really bourggie is to act as if it is offensive for one black person to characterize a single aspect of the infinite Black experience as ‘ghetto’. There are many things that many of us do that are simply ghetto! It was alright to say so before I used the term with regard to particular individuals, but now it is a bad word in the Black community, suggesting ‘self-hatred’ on the part of the user? Stop acting.

I was clear on numerous occasions that my use of the term ‘ghetto scholarship’ had/has nothing at all to do with (the lack of) institutional learning or some degree, PhD or otherwise. I never qualified as ‘ghetto’ that scholarship done by brothers and sisters who lack degrees. Good or bad scholarship is not about having or not having a degree: IT IS ABOUT METHODOLOGY. Good methodology produces good scholarship, poor methodology produces poor scholarship. I know personally non-degreed scholars who produce good scholarship, and I know PhD’s who produce poor scholarship! It has noting to do with degrees. The ghetto or poor scholarship of which I speak is characterized not by a lack of degree by its author but by poor methodology by said author. It is characterized by an over-reliance on creative imagination and an under-reliance on critical method. That is to say that such individuals are too willing to ‘make stuff up’ and advanceconclusions or historical reconstructions that are not supported by empirical data.

By ‘Ghetto scholarship’ I do not mean ‘Black Scholarship’. Even though I am critical of aspects of some of their scholarship, I have great respect for Cheik Anta Diop, Dr. Clark, Dr. Ben, Dr. Leonard Jefferies, Dr. Charles Finch, Wade Nobles, and the rest of our great Black scholars of the past generation. Even though I feel some of this scholarship had inherent shortcomings which this generation must correct and move beyond, I also feel that they did a marvelous job. Most importantly, they sincerely tried to live up to the high standards of scholarship recognized by the academy. Ghetto Scholarship is much different.

Ghetto Scholarship is also not to be confused with ‘street scholars’. There are many brothers and sisters in the street that are self-taught scholars. Coming up as a God in the Five Percent Nation of Islam in Atlanta I was surrounded by street scholars, AND WAS ONE MYSELF. Gods used to be – and many still are – the quintessential street scholars. I never stopped being God, and I never stopped being self-taught. Make no mistake about it: my institutional ‘training’ did not teach me content anymore than the great Dr. Yosef Ben-Yochannan’s institutional training taught him content, or Dr. Chancellor Williams or Dr. Leonard Jefferies. Anyone familiar with my work – both in the academy and in the streets – knows that little of my ‘content’ is university-derived. In other words, my professors didn’t teach me this! I have challenged conventions in the academy just as I have challenged conventions in the street, from my days as a youngfire-brand Five Percenter till now. Street Scholarship is honorable and must be respected. Ghetto scholarship is not and must not.

The Hon. Bro. Min. Louis Farrakhan once spoke of intellectual pigs and intellectual cows. The pig is monogastric - it has one stomach and must eat the more easily digestible feed - grain. Cattle, on the other hand, are polygastric - one stomach but with four compartments that provide for better discrimination of the intake, absorption of the nutrients, and allows for the consumption of hay and pasture which is more difficult to digest than grain.

Intellectual pigs are those who intake poor quality material and aren’t able to properly ’discriminate’ between credible and incredible information/claims. These people feel that simply because something is in a book, it is quotable. They do not interrogate their sources. Intellectual cows are very discriminating with what they read. They are able to read the difficult material and interrogate the sources, thus absorbing only what is good and healthy - i.e. credible. Thus, ’ghetto scholarship’ as I use the term has nothing to do with degrees or education. It has everything to do with one's ’method’ of doing scholarship.

Ghetto scholarship is thus poor scholarship done by us Black folk that is based on poor methodology. Ghetto scholarship is the same as what we call in the mosque ‘Bean Soup Science’. Bean Soup Science is a specifically Muslim brand of ghetto scholarship. It tries to expound on the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad without sound sources and methodology. Like ghetto scholarship in general, Bean Soup science is overly imaginative, meaning it makes claims that are based on too much creative imagination and too little critical method. The result of ghetto scholarship/bean soup science is conclusions and historical reconstructions that, while they sound ‘deep’, are not rooted in reality, at least not a reality that can be verified with empirical data.

How is calling out this poor manner of doing scholarship an attack on the hood? Is calling out Bean Soup Science, as I have done on numerous occasions over the last twenty years, an attack on the Nation of Islam? Stop it. This is protectionism. By this I mean certain individuals guilty of this poor scholarship try to protect their name and their work against legitimate criticism by claiming that it is actually illegitimate criticism of the hood: in other words, they are shielding themselves with the hood.

By ‘ghetto scholarship’ I also mean that scholarship that is done and articulated in such a way that ONLY the hood can appreciate it. While hood cred is certainly a plus, UNIVERSAL CREDIBILITY should be the aim of our scholarship. We must seek to do scholarship that the civilized world as a whole can respect. If our scholarship produces conclusions or is expressed in ways that NO ONE OUTSIDE OUR HOOD BELIEVES, what have we accomplished? It is not enough that WE are convinced that the Black Man and Woman are not only the mother and father of life but also the paradigmatic builders of high-civilization; if our scholarship fails to convince the rest of the world of this fact, then we have made little progress in dismantling the Lie of White Supremacy.

There is nothing elitist about my use of the term ‘ghetto scholarship’ and everyone who has read or heard me use it in context knows this. I have been clear that I am not comparing my degree with anybody’s lack of degree; I am criticizing non-critical methods and the precarious conclusions built upon them while at the same time imploring us to use more critical methods in our historical reconstructions. Indeed, some of those whom I have criticized have a PhD!

Peace
Bro. Wesley

Book review of "In the Name of Allah Volume 2" by Lord King Saviour Allah

2009-03-16T20:09:00.000-07:00

Peace Family,

Here is a book review of In the Name of Allah Volume 2

In the name of Allah the History of Clarence 13X and the Five Percenters Vol. 2 is the follow up of the much anticipated In the Name of Allah the History of Clarence 13X and the Five Percenters Vol. 1. Volume 2 takes you into the life of Father Allah (Clarence 13X) through the eyes of his family, friends, peers, and those that walked and mentored under the man known as Allah in the streets of Harlem, NY. Many of Wakeel Allah’s critics have asked “What could be so different in this book from Volume 1?” I asked the same question to myself being that Volume 1 was a well-put together history of the Five Percent Nation. Surprisingly and highly impressed, Wakeel Allah answered with the details of all that the Father went through as well as the how his life connected to Malcolm X, Yusef Shah, and Minister Louis Farrakhan in the dark time of the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King, as well as Malcolm X.

Wakeel has put together numerous interviews with Mother Dora, Sis. Wileen, A Allah, Imam Rasul (Hebeka), Abu Shahid, Allah B, and others to take the reader on a journey with Father Allah during an unstable Black America in the City that never sleeps. Where Volume 1 was more of an Anthology of the Five Percent Nation of Gods and Earths, Volume 2 is more of an Autobiography of the Father. This book was a non-stop read for me, and it kept my interest throughout the entire book.

Father Allah was a very interesting and misunderstood man. His methods were very uneasy to some, yet very wise. Many may not agree with Father Allah’s methods, but what we do know is that he attracted a mis-guided and fatherless youth and gave them direction and a purpose. So much so that it caught the attention of the five boroughs that make up the Island that we know as New York City.

Volume 2 also details the influence that the Five Percent Nation had not only on the City of New York, but also how the Gods started Hip Hop and their introduction into the world of R&B and Funk of the 70s. No doubt about it, you can tell the man by his works. Reading this book shows the level of love that Father Allah had not only for the youth, but black people in general.

In reading this book I can see not only the love Father Allah had for his Five Percenters, but also the love Wakeel Allah has for the Father.

I highly recommend Volume 2. If you haven’t read Volume 1 then you would be doing your self a disservice because they go hand and hand. Much respect to Wakeel Allah and the work that he produced in such a beautiful book that made me very grateful of the man we know as Father Allah.

Peace,
Lord King Saviour Allah

Today in Philadelphia, PA (Kevin Powell, Black Male Handbook) entry from Understanding Allah

2009-02-11T09:44:00.000-08:00

11. Knowledge KnowledgePeace

In The Name of Allah, on this great and glorious day of Knowledge Knowledge all being born to Wisdom.

At bottom is information on a free build today at the Black Museum in Philadelphia with Author/Activist Kevin Powell on The Black Male, Black Male Mentorship and Involvement and his latest tome ’The Black Male Handbook’.

I just wanted to add on, I have a great appreciation for this brother for the cause that when he came of age through the 5% he took the service aspect to heart and even when blessed to get that "15 minutes of fame" (Real World Season One) that this society promises, he did not squander it, on trying to become the next "i’ll do anything for a dollar" entertainer. In fact he reminds me very much of many of the brothers from my generation that was heavily affected by the 5%er’s and Black conciousness in the mid-late 80’s and cussping early 1990’s. He took the principles as he saw them and have continued to advocate for Black people and even more importantly for the under/mis represented, Black Male as his ownself in his own skin and not a caricature of this society.

As he was a top candidate for congress in 2008, he often cited in his message directed at youth about the role the 5% Nation played not only in his development but in the very changing of Christian Identity as well regarding Black conciousness, the shunning of pork, etc... It’s mad peace to see this brother doing his thing on the real. I knowledge the God who brought him into the 5%, who is also very much involved in the development of some of our most disenfranchised young Black Men in the State of New Jersey. So may, be something about that "Tree" science?! Birds of a feather... Also is i just respect anyone who is striving to see the bigger picture and work for the greater good. We got a whole generation of brothers like this that often are over shadowed in an era of using nostalgia to fake real, and all this individualism, materialism, sexism that’s eating our babies up like gangrene.

I also posted a link to a review and interview on Kevin Powell’s latest book with the brother speaking candidly on racism in publishing and the Black Male Image, from Black Voices.

Sustainable Agriculture -urban/suburban http://thefoodproject.org/agriculture/index.asp

Growing Power. - This (below) is a full service urban farm that has a detailed training program to build your own urban farm and urban farm project. This is founded and ran by a Black Man, Will Allen, a former University of Miami athlete who felt that everyone has the right to healthy food. I had previously posted a video of his works months earlier. You can send away for a free packet with information on everything from how to build/construction to how fund the project in your area.

Also is... In light of this political idea and this very needed idea of a "Green Economy." What is a Green Economy? And what does that mean for you and I regarding the way we live our lives as we rise out of a Corruption Based or "Pyramid Scheme" Economy... see...http://www.greeneconomics.net/what2f.htm

In all actuality there are many great resources. These above are quite comprehensive. Bottom line is it’s really just about doing it. It’s not glamorous, and it takes more work and focused attention than most people think, but the rewards and knowledge/understanding gained is priceless. That’s why most don’t deal with it. The garden is like a world and the gardener is like the God. For the cause the gardener is he or her who is the Creator of Order, where chaos once existed or appeared.

The fundamentals is, if you have something growing on that piece of land, whether it’s grass, or weeds that’s all you need to know that food will grow. One should do the knowledge to what Gardening Zone in which one is in for the best results in purchasing seeds and plants that will be hardy in your local area. I’ll leave the spiritual side out of this build (smile).

In parting i would just like to reiterate that...
"the earth belongs to the original black man."
"The Orignal man is the God and Owner of the earth, and knows every square inch of it."

So know that this is Our creation to either Build or Destroy, and most of our physical beings have just a short little window in the scope of Time to manifest and add on, so let us be ourselves the Original Man/Woman and as ALLAH preserve the best part of what we make, and discard the poor part and be a people who are "waste free."

Muslim and the Five Pillars of Islam

2009-02-06T00:35:00.000-08:00

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Muslim means one who submits their will to Allah. Submission is responsibility and duty. Responsibility is the ability to respond and take charge of a said task. Once someone takes charge of a task one may ask, “Who is responsible?” Those seeking power of titles and namesake are usually the ones first to say, “I am!” Yet it is those same people that back peddle or shun responsibility because they do not want the discipline of the responsibility. This is why we must look at the title Muslim and the Five Pillars of Islam.

As said before, Muslim means one who submits their will to Allah. What does will mean? And who is Allah? Those are the most important questions in order to understand the title Muslim. In the book Closing the Gap the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan answers a question from Bro. Jabril Muhammad about the significance of the six written Lessons. The Honorable Minister Farrakhan states, “If we start with the study of the answers given by one born to meet the Questioner, born to see and know the Questioner, then his answers have to be the basis of our beginning study of the course that would not just make us Muslims, in the common understanding of the meaning of Muslim, but make us into Gods, the very uncommon understanding of being a Muslim.” Muslim is also one willing to submit themselves in order to learn to become a master in their course of study. Without submitting or committing yourself to the course of study then one will never learn to be a Master. This is the greatest part of the title Muslim, to be a disciplined student in order to elevate the self in stages and degrees to ultimately becoming Master or Allah (God). The parts of this course are the basic principles or pillars of Islam.

Allah means The God. Allah is the master and sole controller of the universe. Allah is also the Asiatic black man. Allah is the highest form of energy that exists in all things. Allah is the source of all power. The black man is the greatest vessel for this source of energy making him The God or Allah the best knower and Lord of all of the worlds. It is the righteous individual that can properly navigate this power. This is why we say that the black man is God. From all things, come from Him. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says in Our Saviour Has Arrived, “All Muslims are Allahs. But there is one Supreme Allah and He has His own name, Master Fard Muhammad.” Master Fard Muhammad was the Questioner and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the one answering the questions. It is these questions and answers that are the core teachings of 120 Lessons, which include Supreme Mathematics and the Supreme Alphabet that the Father gave us.

The Five Pillars of Islam are to bear witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger, Prayer, fasting, zakat or charity, and Hajj. These pillars are important because it lays the base for the Muslim into perfect guidance and discipline to become a master. Pillars are poles that up hold a foundation of something, which is why principles are synonymous to, pillars in the Islamic world. Principles are a settled law or rule of action, especially to right action; a law of nature as illustrated in the mechanical powers. By having and applying these laws or principles then it is limitless to what man’s greatest potential will be.

By knowing who Allah is and His messenger then you can begin the study of all things in existence. Without those two things then none of us would have what we call knowledge of self. It is these two men, Master Fard Muhammad and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad that laid the base to who Allah is and who the Messenger is and how this course makes us into Gods.

Prayer is a divine or pure form of meditation that makes the mind focused on the power within to achieve all things that the Supreme Being (Self) desires. With all the distractions in the world it is hard for many to be and maintain focus in order to not become part of this world. The 37th degree in the 1-40 of the 120 lessons ask the question “Tell us what the devil teaches the eighty five percent? That the God is a righteous and unseen Being-exists everywhere? Ans. Allah is the God in the Earth and in the heavens above, and is Just and True, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. But is not unseen. Is seen and is heard everywhere-for He is the All-Eye-Seeing.” It is the distractions and the temptations of this world that makes the righteous weak and indulges in the ways of the savages. Being the God in the Earth is to be the greatest in the land and in society. Being the God in the heavens above is to always think on the highest plane of the self. Constantly conditioning the self to be righteous, the nature of the black man and woman.

Fasting is to abstain from food for an unusual amount of time. It is this discipline that causes the mind and body to be focused and clean. The more we eat the faster we will go to the grave. It is also what you eat that matters as well. Eating is also to ingest by what you eat physically and what you eat mentally which is called reading or studying. The diet is essential to the Muslim in order to reach the higher plane and be able to discipline his or herself to greatness. The body does not need to eat 2 or 3 times a day. It needs enough nourishment to sustain itself until it truly calls for food again. It is more mental discipline than physical. Fasting also keeps you from being overpowered by debt and the oppression of men. If you are disciplined in your stomach then you should also be disciplined in not spending a lot of money in fat foods, intoxicants, and games of chance. It also strengthens the will to do for the community rather than you always thinking and doing something for just yourself. Which goes into the next principle zakat.

Zakat or charity is to sacrifice wealth, time, food, or self to help those in need. Our charity is deeds and it strengthens the community to become the greatest force in existence. What you put in truly determines what you get back.

Hajj or the Pilgrimage is the journey of one’s self. You have the ritualistic Hajj in which the Muslim travels to Mecca and goes on a physical and spiritual (energized) journey to strengthen the self and you also have a Hajj that you deal with on a daily basis if you are dealing with knowledge of self. In this teaching Hajj is also a constant journey that the Muslim disciplines him or herself in order to correct the weak characteristics or abilities. To become the perfect man and woman. It is your mere journey of learning in this life that we live.

The Five Pillars of Islam is not a religious thing; it is the law in which the righteous uses in order to obtain the Godhood. It is our birth right as well as it is the ability to be the example for our people and the world.

The Muslim is the greatest example. The Muslim is well disciplined, courteous, respectful, upright, moral, honest, clean, and has integrity. Father Allah taught us the the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the 1^st Muslim meaning that he was the one disciplined and became the perfect student of Master Fard Muhammad. Is that such a bad thing? I would have to say “NO” because he was free of excuses and truly ignored the slave master showing and proving that he could be independent and not dependent on the Caucasian. He showed that we did not need our former slave master in order to be a free and a respected people on earth.

Peace,

Lord King Saviour Allah

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2009! ...and other info. By Understanding Allah

4. Culture/Freedom!

PEACE IN THE NAME OF ALLAH to the Universal Family on this great and glorious day of Culture/Freedom! Greeting you all in postitivity and light! Below I posted some relevant information/links on not only National Black HIV/AIDS Day 2009 (FEB. 7TH). Also some statistics on Blacks and HIV/AIDS as well as a blog and site of one of our young Black Sisters who wrote a bestselling book about life before AIDS and life with AIDS.

I knowledge in the knowledge of self cipher that there are many takes on HIV/AIDS and its history or reality. Never the less, our people suffer in not having a high quality of life in many ciphers and most definitely in realm of health. The majority of our people lack proper knowledge of all things. And our false pride many times keep us from acting upon that which we know is best for us. These masses (85%) is the people that the 5% serve. So it is incumbent to provide the information that is useful to add on to life and to give life to those who are not in such a fortunate position as those who have the knowledge and even greater those who actually apply the knowledge of self with wisdom. Real talk we are people who are experimented on, on the daily in various realms of a society that is truly a human condition experiment. Only the righteous are they who do not fall victim to the devil’s civilization. And that’s a small number. The masses of us live in areas condensed with each other not by our own choice but rather by other circumstances, and thus are placed in areas that the environment (on every level of that word) is hazardous to our health(in every sense of that word).

I knowledge that there are many resources however here are a few, and some supplemental information.

Before you check out the links below I would just like to add on with the positive mindset that we carry out our lives in a manner that is wise and we strive to be dignified examples for our people who are victimized and destroyed so much so on the basis of a great lack of knowledge, a lack of dignity and a collective low self esteem, that wraps itself up in false pride, and haughtiness. Let us be proud in the way of being desirous to be of a righteous independent and knowledgeable pride. When we move beyond the discussion of each others lives which is a supremely high level of low level thinking (yes that is an ironical oxymoron) and transcend into the discussion of ideas and then even the higher ideal of acting upon those ideas, then I am sure that that which we manifest will be the reporting on that Which WE DO. Which is really all that we are. Whatever you do that b you. Gods living as Gods. The Black Man is God, no matter what. A maker, an owner, an All Wise God, of which man of our people just don’t know it yet to begin to extract it out, and produce SELF, the best part.

Our people; Gods. And yet we think and talk and live so cheaply and we die so cheaply and quickly when it is truly preventative. Strive for the Higher Ideal. The Bigger Picture. How we view each other??? Well you know, mind make matter, so that’s really how we see/cee one another. If we don’t see each other as God then the thought will descend into a lower ideal which is what we treat each other as. Being compassionate don’t make you soft, that make you God. Being just and true don’t make you weak, it makes you strong. Righteousness is like a drug. The more right one do the more fear reduce itself from the psyche. Fear produces insulation, and since it is based on lack of knowledge and wrong doing it only produce more fear. Allah is Righteous, Allah Is Fearless, Allah Is Strong!

To help others is to help self. To help self lies in the helping of others.

If You’re Weak
Get Strong,
Get Right
Not Wrong!

Leaving as I came, with the science of civilization,
PEACE!
your brother in ISLAM.

"Clockin"

2009-02-04T09:41:00.000-08:00

Peace Gods and Earths,

A recent question in regards to some of my ways and actions or intent as it relates to my work was posed to me by one of the brothers. The basis was centered around whether or not my work was divisive in a sense and for me to clarify my purpose for my work. The line of questioning appeared to suggest that there existed conventional wisdom out there from the Father that appeared to contradict some of my findings, evidence or belief. So I responded below and made it into a blog for this cipher.

"Clockin'"

I’m doing the work of my Father. So what I know, comes from Allah. I’m not necessarily concerned with any of the religious terms that divide the cipher. I’ll let the religious man fight and argue over that.

Anyway, something you said, reminds me of something one of Allah’s Gods said to me the other day. He said be careful about what you hear people saying about the Father who never knew the Father or even those who knew him. He said it is impossible for one to believe that they knew everything the Father taught. I said "Add on." He then said, "Think about it. Do you remember everything you ever said or ever taught somebody in your lifetime?" I thought about it and I said no. He said, "Well how in the hell is somebody going to claim that they knew everything the Father said or taught when they can’t even remember their own words spoken in their lifetime!" We both laughed loud as hell. Because it’s the truth and that was a good one. [not implying that you implied you knew everything the Father taught but it reminded me of the conversation]

So I’m saying that to say, well maybe you heard the Father say he wasn’t a Muslim; or maybe you have it where he never taught it or maybe you might think he was against the Muslims..whatever your perspective might be... But he told different people different things and revealed to them what he needed to reveal to them that would benefit them for that time. This I have learned was his style.

Allah used to sometimes tell people when they had a meeting; he’d say, "If they aren’t here, then don’t go get them." And this shocked some because they might be thinking "Justice is right across the street" "Shahid is right there next door" "Hebekah and Messiah are coming down the street" "There goes your sons A-Allah and B-Allah" "Here comes Barry and the Mayor Allah"....Regardless of who was there or who wasn’t there Allah would say "If they aren’t here, then don’t go get them!" "This message is just for y’all that are here right now!"

At the same time, one couldn’t walk away from a meeting with Allah and then reveal to all who weren’t there what Allah specifically instructed for them to do. Or otherwise they would have been at the meeting.

So imagine you seeing your man in a meeting with Allah and your other peers. Then afterwards, you ask your man what happened in the meeting. Then he says, "Well, it was just a few of us discussing some things, that’s all."

That would be a helluva test or a trial on someone. Some would become suspicious, others might respect the confidentality, some would get jealous. This kind of situation would evoke reactions in certain people.

So I can only do what was revealed to me by those Allah left behind for me to reveal to me or confirm to me what I am doing. So I have my instructions and assignment and live it out according to my knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Others have theirs.

So I hope you understand.

Now, a person can do this. They can watch the person to see what they are going to do and then they can process it with their intelligence to determine if what they are doing is of benefit to people or not.

There are those who are teaching that Allah is the 13th man, therefore he "is not on the clock." As the clock only goes to knowledge and wisdom.

If this is true, and if a person is doing the work of Allah as revealed to them, then they are moving within Allah’s Wisdom of Knowledge and Understanding. If that’s the case, then don’t look for them to be on the clock either.

In other words, they might do things never seen before or what appears to be unconventional wisdom or unpopular or defy the status quo. In that sense, they become exceptional.

To me, this is the best way to answer your litany of questions.

And that’s peace.

Peace,
Wakeel

Sounds of Blackness by Wakeel Allah

2009-02-03T10:39:00.000-08:00

Peace,

Over the past few years I have heard NGE brothers argue over the slogan "We are not Pro-Black or anti-white." As a 5%, I've heard the slogan before over the years but it never really caused any arguments as it apparently was understood in its proper context. Actually, Allah didn't say it too much different from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad when you really understand it. However, nowadays, it is almost as if Allah has been reduced to a slogan and the body of revelation (Lessons) and the proper understanding of this revelation are being pushed to the side.

The other day I was building with one of my brothers from Allah's Paradise (Asbury Park, NJ) and he mentioned that the Gods in Power Force (Plainfield, NJ, where I'm from) were always on that "Pro-Black" thing. I laughed! "Wasn't y'all too?" To my surprise he said they weren't; which could be true because knowledge was in Allah's Paradise before it got to Power Force. And we (the Power Force) got the message we were supposed to get, and Allah's Paradise probably got the message they were supposed to get.

When I came into the 5% Nation in the early 80s, I came into a state of mind of the 5% Nation that was unapologetically Black and Pro-Black. I mean, even Puerto Ricans was having a hard time. Especially then, because where I was at, the Puerto Ricans didn't fully assimilate yet. They were still riding in small cars with loud speakers pumping Spanish music and English was still a 2nd language to many of them. They weren't listening to Hip Hop like you see today. At that time, we had a little West Side story situation where Puerto Ricans were fighting the Brothers and the main ones fighting the Puerto Ricans was "the 5% Nation." Some of the vivid memories in my mind is seeing a Puerto Rican brother get hit dead in the face and head hitting the back of an open locker. It was nothing nice. The neighborhood moms warned us "watch out for the Puerto Ricans because they'll cut you!" And I hand it to them, they would stand up and fight although they were outnumbered.

Of course, this was in PLFD and we were a dominant Black city pretty much rooted in Black Power (like Newark). The sisters had on "New Edition" buttons and the Puerto Rican sisters had on "Menudo" buttons. Anyway, afterwards, the Puerto Ricans started getting down. The shades of Puerto Ricans became known as "Baby Cream." Laugh, if you want, I laugh about it now. The first ones I remember who got down were Self Born and Sindu (who were physical brothers). Sindu was one year older than me and was a young talented boxer and this beautiful magnificent talented brother later overdosed on drugs. He was the first God I personally knew who ODed but he wasn't the last (even one of our sisters ODed) (the death of our young and our people is another reason why we must fight drugs today). Self Born became a powerful God and even did a short stint in the Temple; and later we all succumbed to drugs in one form or another (every sect in Islam, basically all religions, drugs didn't discriminate). Either you did it or you sold it, or you did both. Some refrained from it altogether. They were the exception. I'm not stating any secrets as these are all a matter of public record that added to the perception and reality at the time.

Back to being Pro-Black, in fact, that's what attracted me to the 5% Nation of Islam. It was it's no nonsense style of militancy and its unapologetic stance for being Black. Some in the NGE teach that the white man is God. But I know that would have never attracted me to Islam at that time. It doesn’t attact me now. Nor would have the teaching “We aren’t Pro-Black or anti-white.” Because prior to the 5% I was part of a “social club” that was pro-Black at its core and one pastime was fighting Caucasians in neighboring towns. This wasn’t too long after the Atlanta Child Murders and whites were pretty bold. I won’t go into details, but a few battles went down. So when I heard the two main cardinal principles of the 5% Nation, I remember that struck me and all the other Gods… (1) "The Black Man is God!" and (2) "The White Man is the Devil!" That was it. That's all you had to say and the rest took care of itself. Many of us had just left the gang culture only a couple of years before the Gods started hitting real hard (from what I remember). And I don't want to take anything from many of these master teachers of Islam because we were taught plenty of other things of Islam that made us a proud people and we were being taught the right things according to our knowledge. But the majority of us were very young. We didn't have older Gods amongst us (except a couple that was in their low 20's). So the militant unity left over from the youth street organizations was still present and for a while it stayed with us but in '85 is when the crack hit and the wars began.

It was right around the time Farrakhan spoke at Madison Square Garden. We hated New York’s Mayor Ed Koch. To my cipher (Power Force), Mayor Koch was a Devil, and David Dinkins (who was the borough president of Manhattan) was an Uncle Tom. I think all of Black New York had to dislike them both, if not hate them. Plus this was just on the tail end of “a devil” named Bernard Geotz who had shot some young brothers on the subway. He claimed he thought they were going to rob him, so he shot them for preventive measures. Something like that. Then you had this vigilante group called the Guardian Angels. They were a motley crew of Black, white and Puerto Ricans who patrolled the streets of New York wearing green pants, a white t-shirt with a Guardian Angels emblem on it and they sported these red berets…and they were led by a “Devil.” So they were hated by both Black and I’m assuming by Hispanic youth, too. They were a very gaudy bunch and kind of looked like the Shabba Doo types from that movie Breakin’.

Anyway, I remember a few days later, the Gods in my neighborhood we all watched the Farrakhan speech together again on Gil Noble "Like it Is." It probably was that Sunday because when Farrakhan spoke at the Garden it was on a school night. So I think we watched it again on Sunday. We were all hyped as hell. I remember my older Brother Jamil Ali Quan Allah disrupting our small celebration after the lecture... "There was one thing about his build that was not right and exact!" We all looked at Jamil like "what the hell was wrong about anything he said?" Jamil said, "He referred to himself as a BOY, a boy is one "born into the cipher without knowing why." I mean Jamil had a point, but he shouldn't have interrupted our love/hate fest (depending on your perspective). But everybody agreed with him. But then again "the Nation of Islam is all wise and does everything right and exact" so based on that maybe he was in his right.

But Farrakhan had a made a point at the Garden that I never heard before. He called out to "his brothers and sisters of the 5% Nation" and there was a mighty roar in the Garden. Farrakhan was like the character Cyrus in the warrior movie and the Gods looked like we were "The Riffs." Young, ready and able soldiers with a great degree of intelligence and dedication. Anyhow, the Minister told us to notice our lessons, and he started to break down the 14th, 15th and 16th degree…"Notice in these lessons that it doesn't mention anything about color..." And I didn't have the lesson or know it to dispute it otherwise; I wasn't on that lesson yet. But right off the bat, from the affirmations coming from all the other Gods who knew the degree; obviously what the Minister said was true. Not that he was suspect to be questioned in the first place. This was just natural for Gods to seek perfection. To be honest, I didn't give it much thought...the Minister was just sciencing up the Lesson as far as I knew and he had this imposing presence that gave him the heir of some kind of king or wise ruler or a general. He was surrounded by some MGT sisters dressed in all white with red trimmings on their uniforms and Farrakhan had on a black slender tailor cut suit with a red bowtie and was wearing some round spectacles that sat on his glowing face and his waves (on his head) were shining like all the other Muslims we knew. And to fill the Madison Square Garden plus the Felt Forum across the street was a miracle and was "unheard of." Because that was the first time I think Farrakhan spoke in a large coliseum in New York since the "2nd resurrection." Not only Farrakhan, but any Black leader period. Besides that, Mayor Ed Koch and David Dinkins and any other politician or uncle tom was on the news blasting away against Farrakhan calling him "divisive, an anti-semite and a hate teacher.." This really attracted me and probably every Black person that heard it. They were even calling him a "Black Hitler." Min. Akbar Muhammad who was one of his spokespersons at the time defended Farrakhan on the news against the Hitler remark. And when Farrakhan got the chance to address it at the Garden he "hit it out the park." But regardless of what he said, he did somewhat resemble a Black version of Hitler only as it related to the type of organizing skills and the specific message he had for a specific people and overflowing crowd of thousands of Black people. BUT....another thing he said during the speech when he referred to himself as "this little BOY"...he added "And this little Black boy...is your last chance too Jews!" The roof damn near came off the building. BUT...this was another hint…that this message of ours was for more than just the Black Man but he even extended word to “the Jews.”

But anyway, back in those days, I don't think I ever recall a time where I met an apologetic Five Percenter when it came to "being down for the Black Nation." I'm probably doing a bad job in describing how thick the atmosphere was with those two principles: The Black Man is God and the white man is the Devil. It was ingrained in the culture to the point where one would "grab the mic" and before reciting his rhyme would say "One for the Bass, Two for the Treble, the Black Man is God, and the white man is the devil!" It's like that y'all, like that y'all, you don't stop, keep on. It was like that. And this was totally acceptable and appropriate behavior for the cipher. And at the time, it was music to my young ears. The teachings (or so I thought) of the 5% Nation was (to be proverbial) our "religion." Although we dared not say that, we taught as we were told "this is a culture." Meaning it was just as essential to you as breathing. If the 5% Nation was a religion, it was more validated and authenticated as any religion there ever could have been. No question. This was it. When you walked down the hallway and asked somebody was they righteous…that meant were you a 5% and/or Muslim. But it really meant if you were a 5% the majority of the time.

In my high school, we had cartoons floating around that demonstrated (the white man was the devil). Some of them were from Old Muhammad Speaks Newspapers, others even from the Final Call. In any sense, they were clever cartoons and many were drawn by NOI cartoonist Eugene Majied (if I remember correctly) and it was a couple of other cartoonist names I don't remember at this moment. We even had our own talented artists that drew cartoons to illustrate the dastardly deeds of "the devils." I remember Logical passed me his drawing in Mr. Windham's class and it was a picture of a white devil with an Uncle Sam hat and he had a tail! His face almost looked like a gargoyle. He had that President Bush type face. Then you also had regal pictures or drawings of the Black Man being very industrious which again came from the same newspapers or artists (except the ones drawn by Gods in class or lunch). It's strange, but I never recall seeing any cartoons of the Father Allah. You had little ones depicting the Messenger but I never saw one of the Father until a little later I saw a drawing of the bust of his head but it was very life-like. Not many images were made of the Father like that, that I can recall.

The first time I recall ever realizing that a God had sympathy for a devil was ironically in the middle of almost beating one to death. The Gods travelled to a club in a nearby town that had a "mixed" crowd. Of course, seeing a speckle of whites delighted us because we knew we had a target. (Just remember, Atlanta Child Murders and you can choose damn near any incident in New York where Black Men were killed by whites). So we had plenty of reason. I still remember the white boy jumping on the hood of a slowly moving car then he jumped on the roof of it before slipping to his certain doom and the Gods from Power Force (PLFD) and a couple of Gods from "Now Born" (New Brunswick) "started serving him justice."

Anyhow, there is a God from Power Force (I won't cite his name) because I don’t know if he would be peace with it. He's over 300 lbs today even today so you can imagine what his big form looked like to 15 and 16 year olds, as he was probably 20 or 21 at the time and he was a solid 300 then. Anyway "The BIG GOD" started throwing Gods off the white boy and he pushed me too. He was enraged about what we were doing (and it was quite a few of us). But nobody in their right mind was going to challenge the Big God, and now that I think about it, he was the only one in his right mind that night. Because we were probably close to killing this "devil" and if that would have happened, we all were sure to go to jail and spend a long time there. A few of my peers are still locked up for other situations. So judging upon them, I know what would have waited for all of us who if not for the intervention of our brother, could have easily had the same fate. One of our brothers was actually sent to prison for murdering "a devil" and it doesn't seem like he is ever going to get out. We're talking over 24 years ago. At the same time, some devils caught one of ours, and murdered him with a baseball bat. So trust me, it went both ways. This was war and a fight for survival.

Oh, before I go, let me add this. Would you believe at first got to my high school that we had a “devil” for a Principal? Over an all Black school? That wasn’t going to fly! And the Gods had literally taken over in numbers as far as popularity at PLFD High. So the “devil” resigned. And they made a big deal about it and shipped us in a new Principal Dr. Stanley Mayo from Boys & Girls High School in Brooklyn (Medina). He was selected because of his experience in dealing with the 5% Nation at that high school. And Mr. Mayo was mad cool! He allowed some students to create a graffiti mural in the cafeteria that read “Success.” He then allowed for the hanging of famous Black portraits all over the high school. Right outside his office in the hallway was the giant picture of Malcolm X with his hand and finger pointing at his temple and there showed off his beautiful Star and Crescent ring. The Gods loved that. Plus, he did away with the official ban that Gods could not wear their crowns. He damn near became an honorary God for that (although this rule didn’t stick). Then our Principal had an assembly meeting with all of the students in the auditorium. And he heard everybody’s concerns. I comically remember the God Born (who previously was a Jehovah Witness) had stood up during the assembly and criticized the security and police that patrolled our school…he said “some devils came down…but the Gods took care of it!” He was serious, yet he was comical with it at the same time. After the assembly, Detective Buffalo said to some of us standing there, “Take that A from Allah, and make into an A in English. Take that A from Allah and make it an A in Science. Take that A from Allah and make it into an A in Mathematics.”

So the young Gods had a pretty good support staff, and probably that’s what we needed. I heard the Minister say one of the most important things is “Right Guidance.”

As I grew older, I grew to understand the concept of “Devil vs Satan.” And I matured a lot.

And I understand that the foundation is the same. I understand that you are to go through different systems while remaining the same.

It is wise to understand the proper context of “We are not Pro-Black or anti-white.”
That was said in 1968. We shouldn’t have to defend ourselves on this point. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad or Min. Farrakhan never held their tongues and they aren’t forced to come out and make this statement because their history or ways and actions have shown and proven they were righteous. It’s best to let our actions speak for themselves. That’s what counts.

Peace,
Wakeel

Walter Wiliams Backs out of Debate

Walter Williams, author of the books, ’The Historical Origin of Christianity’ and ’The Historical Origin of Islam,’ has publically stated in his book and in interviews/lectures that Islam is a European religion manufactured in the 19th-20th century by Jews and Arabs collaborating. He claims that Muhammad never existed and that the Qur’an was written by Jews in the 19th century.

In December I sent brother Walter the following letter:

Brother Walter Williams
C/O Maathian Press, Inc.
P.O. Box 377655
Chicago, Illinois 60637

Hotep Bro. Walter. I pray this letter finds you in the best of health and spirit. First, I must thank you for your willingness to put yourself out there, exposing yourself and your loved ones to ridicule and, God forbid, worse, for the sake of educating our grossly mis-educated people. Your effort and sacrifice does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Secondly, I was hoping I could interest you participating in a public discussion with me regarding “The Historical Origin of Islam”, the subject of your recent book and, incidentally, the area of my training. I think our community will benefit from seeing educated Black men able to dialogue together civilly, and benefit as well from the information we both can provide. I obviously take issue with a number of the conclusions you draw in your book, but I believe that the broader subject that you raise is an important one. The public dialogue could be in Chicago; I am willing and able to travel to accommodate you dear brother.

About me:

I am a Muslim in the Nation of Islam under the leadership of the Hon. Min. Louis Farrakhan. I hold a doctorate in Islamic Studies from the University of Michigan. I am founder of the Truth of God Institute (www.truthofgodinstitute.com) and publisher of www.theblackgod.com. I currently have two books in circulation: The Truth of God: The Bible, the Qur’an, and the Secret of the Black God; and The Book of God: An Encyclopedia of Proof that the Black Man is God.

Please think it over dear brother and give me a call so we can discuss this further and work out together the details of such an event.

Your Brother

Wesley Muhammad

Earlier this month Brother Walter called me and expressed willingness to discuss the subject with me publically if I secured a venue there in Chicago. I secured a venue, but Bro. Walter has now said he cannot discuss this subject with me at any time, telling me simply, "keep up the good work Bro. Muhammad." . This is unfortunate, but not terribly surprising. This Ghetto scholarship sustains itself by isolating itself from any critical examination. I am sure he wont discontinue teaching his imaginary history as the history of Islam, yet is unprepared to justify this imaginings publically with those trained in the said subjects. Bro. Walter Williams, like Pastor Gino Jennings, seems to have not expected to ’really’ be called on what he teaches.

Why the Need for Truth of God Institute? by Dr. Wesley Muhammad (True Islam)

Truth of God Institue

Founded by Dr. Wesley Muhammad

www.truthofgodinstitute.com

"For thousands of years, the people who did not have the knowledge of the person, or reality, of God worshipped their own ideas of God. He has been made like many things other than what He really is." The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

On July 4, 1930, Master Fard Muhammad began teaching in the ghettos of Detroit Michigan. He proclaimed, in the view of most listeners then and most observes today, a very strange doctrine, at the center of which was the shocking proclamation that God, the creator of heaven and earth, is not a formless ’something (spirit)’ as commonly assumed by 99% of the world’s non-atheists. Rather, God is a man – a divine Black man who created the cosmos only after first creating his own Black self (body). Jews, Christians and Muslims were, and still are, offended, particularly since this self-created Black God is identified with Jehovah/Allah, the God of the Prophets and of the Scriptures (Bible and Qur’an). For 70 years now this teaching of Master Fard Muhammad and, later, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, has been condemned and dismissed as un-biblical, un-Islamic, and simply wrong – a racist doctrine ’concocted’ whole cloth by Master Fard Muhammad and/or the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Recently those of us who accept the truth of this teaching about God have been challenged to prove this claim or at least prove that it is scriptural. The sad truth of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of those (few!) who have come forward to accept the challenge were simply unable to justify this teaching, scripturally or otherwise; at least in any way that would be found adequate to any objective non-believers.

Who is God? Is he a divine Black Man – and divine Black men – as Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad boldly proclaimed, or is he so transcendent above all materiality that he could never be a man, as most of the world believes? What do the scriptures of the world – Bible, Qur’an, Zend Avesta, Rg Veda, Pyramid Texts, etc. - actually say about this?

For the last 18 years of my life I have intensely studied this teaching academically. All of the degrees that I have acquired from academic institutions I did so only in the course of this study. By Allah’s Grace the time, commitment and sacrifice has paid off: we can now absolutely vindicate the teachings of Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. My training in Biblical Hebrew and Classical Arabic has enabled me to demonstrate convincingly that the God of the Bible, Quran and Sunna is indeed a man. We have demonstrated that Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s description of the self-creation of the Black God from an atom hidden in darkness agrees with the Truth of God as found in the Indic Rg Veda and other Sanskrit texts, the Pyramid and other Kemitc texts, as well the ancient Cuneiform tablets of Sumer/Akkad.

In April, 2007 I spoke at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, GA. The subject of my presentation was: The Black Man is God: Truth or Lie? As I pulled up to the lecture hall I noticed one of the organizers of the event outside ’fishing, ’ inviting passers-bye to the presentation. One such ’fishing’ encounter caught my attention so I held back and watched it from a short distance. It was a sister whom I will later learn was a Spelman student and she was not at all impressed and even less interested in attending the presentation. But the brother insisted, and she continually resisted. This sister was simply not interested in hearing some ’True Islam’ speak about the Black Man being God, and she made this clear. But for some reason the brother was relentless. After several minutes of this tug-of-war the sister finally conceded and entered the auditorium, no doubt to get the brother off of her back and with the intension of staying for ten minutes and then leaving. I ended up speaking about two and half hours with another 30 minutes Q&A. The sister stayed the entire time. In fact, she was one of the first to raise her hand once I opened it up for Q&A. This sister prefaced her first question with these words: "Peace brother. I believe everything that you have said is the truth. Can you tell me…" I said to myself after she stated this: "Word? Everything?" I just spent two hours presenting a Powerpoint slide-show on God the Creator being a Black man who died and whose birth, death, and resurrection is allegorized in the New Testament story of Jesus the Christ. It was amazing to me that this sister who was so turned off by the flyer and insistent on not hearing the presentation at all, would openly confess the Truth of the Black God! Anyone who has had the AUC (Atlanta University Center) experience knows that Spelman sisters in general are the most unlikely converts to the Truth of the Black God!

Why do I share this story? For some time after that Atlanta presentation that sister and her words resonated with me until it dawned on me: we are living in a day wherein we not only have the Truth of God – we’ve had that for over seventy years now – but we have also the PROOF of the Truth of God such that even the most skeptical and resistant can be made to see. Not that this sister was the first in my 17 years of teaching to be persuaded. Allah has blessed me to bring many to Islam and the Truth of God. Everyone who knows me and my work knows that for seventeen years now I have been debating and successfully defending this Truth, not just in street ciphers and fireside chats but in classrooms and auditoriums with professors, scholars, imams, preachers, etc. But this sister in Atlanta suggests to me that a new day is upon us. In those past discussions and debates the most resistant persons, while recognizing their inability to defeat the arguments presented to them, yet refused to allow themselves to be personally persuaded by the irrefutable arguments. But today, our level of understanding of the Truth of God and the evidences now available to demonstrate its correctness is such that ’knees bow and tongues confess.’

I thus decided to formally train as many who are interested in the science of the Truth of God. Truth of God Institute (TGI) will offer several short term and extended courses designed to expand one’s knowledge and understanding of the Truth of God by exposing students to the full range of scientific, scriptural, literary, and historical evidences supporting the Truth of God as first revealed on these shores by Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The extended, advanced courses are designed to train intellectual warriors –Truth of God scholars – preparing them to be able to go into any Synagogue, Church, or Masjid and discuss the Truth of God with the rabbi, pastor, and imam from a position of superior knowledge. I am convinced that today is the day the Truth of God will prevail in all arguments. This is not just academic. The state of Black America is a tragic witness of how desperately needed is the Truth of God in the Black community. I am convinced that we, collectively and individually, cannot do life right until we first get God right.

TGI is not a mosque, church, or any kind of religious institution. It is strictly an academic institution. Individuals from all religious and non-religious walks of life are welcome to enroll in the courses. I have successfully designed and taught college courses for seven years now. I bring the same academic rigor to TGI. In the near future we will be offering such general courses:

1.) Who is God? Part I: The Ancient Mysteries
2.) Who is God? Part II: Biblical Tradition
3.) Who is God? Part III: Islamic Tradition
4.) The Truth of God and the Deity of Christ
5.) The Secret of God: Gnosticism and Kabbalah
6.) Science and the Truth of God

In addition to these and other general Truth of God courses TGI will be offering Supreme Wisdom specialty courses designed specifically to train believers in the teachings of Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in defending the Truth of God as they revealed it. We hope to offer courses such as:

1.) The Bible and Point 12
2.) The Qur’an and Point 12
3.) The Twenty Four Scientists
4.) How Came the Black God, Mr. Muhammad?
5.) God and the Origin of Race: Yakub

And others.

Truth of God Institute and the End of Ghetto Scholarship by Dr. Wesley Muhammad (True Islam)

2009-01-22T11:56:00.000-08:00

What distinguishes TGI scholarship? In a word: sources. In a phrase: access to top-notch academic sources. The quality of scholarship is largely determined by the quality of the sources upon which a work relies. Researchers who have access to the most and the best source-material have the potential to produce the best scholarship. This is why language training is important to scholarship: because it gives one access to a wider range of relevant primary and scholarly secondary source-materials. This is also why spoken fluency in a language has minimal scholarly value, at least in terms of historical-critical scholarship. It is LITERACY in the relevant languages that is of paramount importance here. Just as there are articulate yet illiterate English speakers, there are fluent, even native, Arabic speakers (for example) who cannot read a Classical Arabic text. Such a person, while able to converse about modern trends and events, can offer very little to the critical discourse about Islamic Theology.

TGI scholarship is based on access to the best sources. The bottom line is this: books acquired from Borders, Barnes & Noble, or our local Black bookstores can at best produce only mediocre scholarship. These stores don’t service the most important scholarly presses (such as BRILL, for example). These scholarly sources are only available in academic libraries, at academic conferences, or from the publishers. Also, a good deal of the best scholarship is not available as books at all: it is published in scholarly peer-reviewed journals that are largely inaccessible to non-academicians. Students and affiliates of TGI will have access to a lot of this source material through the TGI Online Library. I have already scanned hundreds of pages of this material, which will be made available as PDF files through the Library. The Library will continuously grow. This Library alone gives TGI affiliates an advantage over most researchers in the Black community, in particular the current leadership of the Ghetto Metaphysics movement (i.e. Walter Williams, Bobby Hemmitt, Phil Valentine, etc. More of this below). TGI affiliates will be in a much better position to speak critically and authoritatively on relevant issues because they will have access to the more critical, authoritative source-materials.

TGI intends to expose and affect the demise of the low-quality, ‘ghetto scholarship’ that is currently popular in the intellectual circles of the Black community. This ghetto scholarship is represented by such persons as the above mentioned (Walter Williams, Bobby Hemmit, Phil Valentine, etc.). This intellectualism, based on profoundly poor scholarship and much imagination, is a tragic hijacking of the legacy of our great Black Scholars: Dr. Ben, Dr. Clark, etc. A parade example of this poor ghetto scholarship is Walter Williams’ book, ‘The Historical Origin of Islam’. Walter Williams’ claims in this book are, from a critical-scholarly perspective, so outlandish it is embarrassing. He uses more imagination than good source material to reach his conclusions. I have sent Brother Walter a letter inviting him to a public discussion about the claims of his book. He has not yet responded.

I must qualify further what I mean by ‘Ghetto scholarship’, whose demise I seek: I do not mean ‘Black Scholarship’. Even though I am critical of aspects of their scholarship, I have great respect for Cheik Anta Diop, Dr. Clark, Dr. Ben, Dr. Leonard Jefferies, Dr. Charles Finch, Wade Nobles, and the rest of our great Black scholars of the past generation. Even though I feel some of their scholarship had inherent shortcomings which this generation must correct and move beyond, I also feel that they did their best with what they had to work with and did a good job. Most importantly, they sincerely tried to live up to the high standards of scholarship recognized by the academy. The Ghetto Scholars and their ghetto scholarship is much different.

The Hon. Bro. Min. Louis Farrakhan once spoke of intellectual pigs and intellectual cows. The pig is monogastric - it has one stomach and must eat the more easily digestible feed - grain. Cattle, on the other hand, are polygastric - one stomach but with four compartments that provide for better discrimination of the intake, absorption of the nutrients, and allows for the consumption of hay and pasture which is more difficult to digest than grain. Intellecual pigs are those who intake poor quality material and aren't able to properly ’discriminate’ between credible and incredible information/claims. These people feel that simply because something is in a book, it is quotable. They do not interrogate their sources. Intellectual cows are very discriminating with what they read. They are able to read the difficult material and interrogate the sources, thus absorbing only what is good and healthy - i.e. credible. Thus, ’ghetto scholarship’ as I use the term has nothing to do with degrees or education. It has everything to do with one's ’method’ of doing scholarship.

Let me give you an illustrative example of the ghetto scholarship of which I speak. I used to live with Bobby Hemmit in Atlanta GA for a short time in 1991. He knows me well and I know him well. The last time I spoke to him was about two years ago. In fact, if you get some of his early Atlanta videos – 1993/94 – you will not infrequently hear him defer to ‘Wise’ or refer his audience to something ‘Wise’ has said, for example dealing with the Mother Ship. Well, that ‘Wise’ is me – Wise was my first Attribute when I got KOS and it stuck even when I changed my Attribute to True Islam. Well, one day during my last or maybe my junior year at Morehouse, while I was on campus, Bobby comes running up to me all excited: “Wise! Wise!...” So we built as we frequently did and he tells me about a book he recently read claiming the biblical Ark of the Covenant was located in Ethiopia. He said he is now going to start lecturing on the Ark. I looked at Bobby and thought to myself (maybe even out loud – I don’t remember): this brother just finished reading a single book about a subject he has no expertise in, AND HE’S GOING TO START LECTURING ON IT! Get otta here. He has not scrutinized the author, checked his sources, weighed his conclusions against those sources, etc. Most importantly, NO ONE BOOK makes anybody an expert on ANYTHING. This is why one of the signature features of all of my recent works is thick, discursive footnotes with 4 to 10 checkable, high quality sources for each point I am trying to make. But this man read a book, then started lecturing on the subject. This is ghetto scholarship.

This type of pseudo-scholarship does not advance the intellectual and civilizational cause of the Black community. If no one outside of the ‘hood’ believes our claims then what purpose does it serve to even make such claims? And no one outside of the profoundly gullible hood today can respect claims based on this type of pseudo-scholarship. We have to produce scholarship that intelligent, objective readers from all walks of life can respect. We, the Black Man and Woman of America, are to be the WORLD TEACHERS. But in order for this to happen our scholarship must be true and must command the respect of the world. For this to happen, this new ghetto scholarship must be exposed for it is. TGI is committed to providing sound, critical, top-notch scholarship.

"I God or Islam?" by Understanding Allah

2009-01-21T21:52:00.000-08:00

PEACE IN THE NAME OF ALLAH,

I come in the name of Understanding Allah, adding on in the humble state of righteousness; to strive to provide a clear picture that can be seen with insight 'as well as eyesight.'

Although I-Self as well as several others (much more qualified than I-Self) could write volumes on what you (Dumaka Shabazz) have stated and asked, I will strive to add some clarity through history & examples of something that is really quite fundamental. But (born universal truth), due to personal ideologies, personality worship, false idea of politics (which don’t mix with ISLAM), semantics (word games), emotional tirades (by those playing games), false death threats, lack of study and the improper application of Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabets to the 120 Lessons.

The lack of advocating the 5% aspect in basic terms is 'each one teach one', or helping others, which is what made this Nation flourish and spread and so historically great in fulfilling a greater history and destiny in the resurrection of a once sleep now "dead" original man, woman & child.

Also due to a serious lack of knowledge regarding the Universal Flag of Islam and who the men are that are represented in the perspective Black "7", "Solid Yellow" (Waxing) Crescent moon and Black "Five-Pointed Star."

Not to mention an ever-looming internet (sub)culture of hearsay and "escapism" that has been gradually growing and effecting the street and the non-cyber "world" over approximately the last ten years and COLLECTIVE low sense of self-esteem (not really even believing, let alone knowing we are the Ruler’s of the Universe and the importance of our duty), unfortunately now appears to be a serious issue.

Now you ask the question?

DS: "Is that in the Mathematics or are you using another brother’s understanding of culture?"

I-God is a "play on words" per say and quite valid to the term ISLAM.

When we look at the term "I-GOD", we are looking at it from SUPREME MATHEMATICS. 1=9, God (the number/not the word)=7. So now, we have 9 & 7. I=Self and Self is God. (Who the Blackman really is but 85% of the population do not know it yet).

9(1)+ 7(God)=? = 16=>(1)Knowledge (6)Equality in Supreme Mathematics.

In Supreme Alphabets l = A.llah, 6 = F.ather.

Now we have the "Founder" of a Nation within a Nation who is also the "Understanding" in an ongoing process of spreading the truth of the original man throughout.

The 16th Letter in the Supreme Alphabet is "P" P = Power. This coincides with the Supreme Mathematics by using the Lesson WE CALL LIFE/1-40/L&F Muslim Lesson 2.

The 16th Degree asks the question by the teacher ... "Who is the 5% in the poor part of the Earth?" In the answer is the not only the definition of a group of people but also what the duty is that that group of people performs.

So a man who called his ownself ALLAH, which is in accord with taking on the good name of Allah or one of his good names as was taught by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. A man whom his students affectionately call(ed) "The Father" showed by doing. Allah is God. He proved it by doing the duty of the 5% (giving life to the dead) until the essence of life left his physical frame. That is played out in supreme mathematics. Allah did the duty of the 5%.

So you have 1. Allah (the) 6. Father which is 16, performing the duty of the 16th degree in the Lesson We Call Life (1-40) which borns God (1+6=7). So by doing what Allah did, you do what Allah does. Allah and Father = God.

This coincides with Master Fard Muhammad’s Father (Alfonso) and His own self resulting in the breaking of a 66 trillion year old family secret; by opening the circle back up to the public and ending the mystery of who God really is. Now that the circle is open and the group of people who are descendents of the people in that circle don’t know who we/they are (85%); due to losing the knowledge of our original self through a process; of rebellion, rebuilding into a tough nature and being robbed and all but destroyed by a "foreign" enemy which comes out of the lower (brown germ) that is a part of our ownselves.

A duty falls on all that now know the once secret or truth of who the Blackman really is. I. E. We don’t have the luxury that our God Family forefathers had of just pontificating on things amongst ourselves in a secret circle and being Gods. We have to "multi-task" for lack of better words, by not only "BEING GOD" BUT TEACHING the masses who do not know yet "WHO IS GOD."

So now the 5% Aspect or duty is paramount to being God. Yeah sure, you are god by nature, but what kind? By doing the duty of the 5% and being an original man, one is showing & proving who the all-wise & righteous God-ALLAH truly is. This is shown throughout the lessons.

This sets up an accurate historical account of who we are and what we do. Or else justice befalls us through the guise of a certain population of our own nation who do not yet know that they are part of the same nation. NOTE: See 1-40 degree 1, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20.

So, what does this have to do with the original question?

If I say to you that I myself am a "Lord and Master", I am clearly saying that I am a God, in layman's terms. So ISLAM (I Self Lord And Master) is the same as I-GOD.

And I-God being a culture? Let’s look at it.

If culture implicates to the Gods & Earths as "One’s way of Life." The WAY, which in the "Enlightener" we Say, "The Wisdom Is The Way." We, historically, as Almighty Allah taught his 5%er’s, was by Teaching the truth to those who do not know it. So if I do what Allah say (I know we got no leaders and followers in this nation, but I don’t have the luxury of playing word games with the dogmatic), if I profess to say I deal with what Allah taught then my WAY OF LIFE as ALLAH or MY WAY OF LIFE as Understanding Allah is to teach the truth Of the reality of whom the Blackman is which is the DUTY OF THE 5%. So my way of life or culture (if i am actually living up to what I profess) is by doing the duty of the 5%.

So! Through Supreme Mathematics now WE can show and prove that by being and doing the duty of the 5%; which is the 16th Degree, the (l) Knowledge (6) Equality degree in the 1-40/LFML2, WE can show that if we our indeed doing that (teaching the truth) then this is our culture.

So when I say the "Culture is I-God," I can show & prove that for the cause 1(9) Born add God(7) = 16, which is (16)POWER which is the "who" of the 5% and the duty of the 5% (16) Which is l. Allah 6. Father = 7. God. ISLAM (I Self Lord And Master) although not a numerical parallel to I-God is a literal Parallel in meaning. It is "SYNONYMOUS" which each other.

NOTE: Although the term ISLAM - I. S.elf L.ord A.nd M.aster was made popular by the Gods and Earths it was introduced circa 1942 by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (appx. 18yrs before a brother named Clarence joined Temple 7 in NYC and became registered as Clarence 13X). You can find it in an Introductory Lesson for the "Processing" brothers and sisters titled, "THE AIMS OF ISLAM." In this lesson it stated "...Islam is I Self Lord And Master ... " This lesson is still given to "Processing" brothers or sisters in the mosques of the NOI. However, it has been some time since the term as it was originally introduced has been commonly used in Temples and Mosques, but it is not out of circulation, some Mosques still give that lesson in that form to processing inductees.

Lastly, and I pardon for the length of this build, however, I could go on into book form on this subject (as it applies to the Gods & Earths). I would like to expound on the more recent "absence" and argument over the use of the word ISLAM regarding the 5% Nation/Nation of Gods and Earths.

In brief, the Holy Quran teach clearly that ISLAM is the Nature of Man, in which He/Her is created. ISLAM was here before Muhammad the Prophet (and all the prophets of the last six thousand years). That ISLAM is the very nature of ALLAH Himself, and is the Culture or METHOD that ALLAH makes Self KNOWN. In the ancient language of Arabic, ISLAM is not a religious term at all. In fact, the word for faith in Arabic is "IMAN!" IMAN-means in basic to believe. It is a noun. However, in Arabic, the word ISLAM is a verb. It is an action word. It is something that a "DOER" does. One cannot profess ISLAM, and sit down. One cannot only, fundamentally speaking, profess IMAN (faith) and sit down and pray and do nothing to change a condition(s).

When The NOI began to grow in the USA and when ALLAH came on the scene in 1964 (Harlem NY) not as a preacher or great orator or speaker, or holding meetings in vast venues with high numbers of people; he was in a small place to a small group of people for a small/short amount of time (5yrs), but teaching wherever he went, which shows that HE in himself was a prototype or FATHER of what we are to also be doing.

Like Master Fard Muhammad, this shows that knowledge and understanding is Alike, for the cause of the methods in reproducing people to carry out the missions like the ones who introduced them.

The Bible and Holy Quran both vouch that the righteous walk the earth in humility and the best of us is those of us who teach or help another in need or is blind, deaf, dumb. The act of DOING; that is ISLAM. Putting others ahead of yourself for the cause you see others as yourself. Remembering that they now like you too were once blind and out of that remembering is motivated to help them to help themselves to see! That’s that 5% aspect. Unfortunately, this essential and important aspect keeps getting put in the garbage "nowadays."

Many of us don’t want to be associated with the "OLD WORLD OF ISLAM" that even Prophet Muhammad saw going out, and we see the New Islam rising in the West as "STRANGE." We are that Islam. That was the fundamental teachings with the Gods and Earths in the street. In the ghettos of North America along the eastern seaboard you still see it. Even school children associate ISLAM with black people, not Arab culture. We are showing the world the way to the true root of what is in those books and history that they have been studying for the past 1400 + years. And the make up and design of the True Ruler, that the world is going to have to accept and digest whether they like it or not for the cause that’s how it is, cause WE are IT and WE and IT is the Truth.

I don’t have time to be trying to have a reverse productive dialog explaining all the things that I and/or WE "ARE NOT." That’s anti-Allah. Allah is the only reality, Allah is what IS. If I am ALLAH, that puts me above all other titles, so the world don’t know what to call it when the 85% see God. Even the dead in their own spirituality see it in man, but don’t know what to call it. That’s where humility comes in.

In teaching people, I don’t have the luxury to say I am Allah with a Brew in my hand (I ain’t advertising for no one) and then be less than Allah cause you find me in a mosque. Cause after having Knowledge of Self for 1/2 of my physical life I spend/spent much more time in Churches and Mosques as I ever did as a childhood Latin Catholic; Attending Funerals & Janazaa’s of my brothers and sisters pulled off the pages of the greatest horror story of any book read from violence in these streets; and an unnecessary senseless violence at the hands of one another.

So as Allah I have to be man enough to handle the title and humble enough to accept the role. Cause just cause someone don’t see me as Allah don’t make it any less true, and that go for all of us. But it take a level of humility that really comes from teaching, cause helping people in all types of conditions will keep one real humble and also will let one know that knowledge of self can really save someone’s life. And I am a grateful living proof of that. As Gods and Earths we got to wear all the hats. Warriors, Scholars, Teachers, Scientists ....

So my own experience at a younger age with many of the internet arguments that rage back and forth were never of great consequence. If someone asked me if I was a Muslim, I first had to see where or what angle the individual was coming from, or in what-context. Is it a brother from around my way? An Arab immigrant, a Christian African immigrant, a black Christian from America?...this list goes on.

So to make my point and not confuse someone I would, or might say, "something like that!" Now if they wanted me to expound then I can teach on the root meaning of ISLAM. If asked if I am a Christian, I’d say "Something like that!" If asked to expound I’d build on the cross, and how I’m at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal line of the Cross, striving to overcome the horizontal nature and rise into my nature which is the vertical. You know how we do! But Allah ain’t religious. The mission got to mean more than one’s own pride. And that’s something we just got to work on.

That’s what make us so unique, cause as a culture we go to the root of everything we see, hear and talk about. A retired school teacher from the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn NY, by the name of Dr. Lady Lyndeweh Yaqshaan, said that during her tenure as a NY public school teacher from 1969 to 1991, that regardless of behavior or marks, that the 5%ers were the most intelligent children in all of her classrooms. She said we just got to work this "weekend killing thing out." That’s a powerful statement. Cause that’s what we still are doing mentally and physically to each other. It’s imperative to look at self in saying that We are Allah, and Allah is righteous and Allah make Time. That the time we make is in the spreading of truth which proves us to be righteous, and outweighs all negativity. The time is what? Now! 14. Now or End. Knowledge the Culture to bring for the Power of the Percent that you Represent!

It’s imperative we deal with the fundamentals of what Allah gave us--not semantics. It takes a lot confidence to stand on the square and teach the truth. Don’t get distracted. Get self right and put the mission before yourself, cause that’s the one way to knock out a whole lot of the problems we suffer in our own lives; whether they be self inflicted or from others.

Damn! A man taught where he was. He didnt have to do that. He tried his peers. They dissed. So He went after the children. Where did that heart or desire or Idea that what he had with those lessons was so important that He had to continue teaching it? Where did that love come from? More on that later.

Thank you for your time.

Leaving as I came in the humble state of righteousness.

PEACE!

God Allah Why??? by Self Justice Allah

2009-01-21T19:48:00.000-08:00

Peace,

It is most unfortunate, that in this day and age being "god allah why" seems to be the "in" thing. The God Lord Jamar and I was just talking about how weak Gods are these days and that he and I wish we were back in days when cats was wearing "damaged" and "used" gear and he was just popping off with Brand Nubians...this fag talk would get your teeth knock the "F" out. Now it’s ok?

I’m from the ill time when we flipped Ansaar tables over in Now Why cause they printed a book called the "Book of the 5%ters." We beat the hell out of many people just for claiming the lessons even had misspellings let alone being wrong. How many cats got twisted out in front of the school for screw balling the Gods?

Whats up with cats being soft and portraying Gods as being homos? How easy it to change the voice on a video? But to put a gay grafted voice on it??? WOW. What’s up with these homo tendencies and reactions? I could hack everyone’s account on that group in less then 5 minutes and access every personal bank account and personal emails within 30 minutes but what would the point be? I wouldn’t waste my time doing that even though I could make money, so I damn sure wouldn’t be making a fag video of someone even if I thought they were one.

Whatever happened to the Gods and the Earths? Cats are consumed by the weakest things...Issues with the Allah Team? Man F the Allah Team, why aren’t Gods bugging the hell out when Gods is smacking Earths up? Why aren’t Gods bugging when Gods leave Earths with a crib full of seeds? Why aren’t Gods bugging when we see these damn devils exploiting our women and babies daily? Why isn’t your energy on some devils blogs blasting them? What’s up with the New York post printing every 5%ters name in it whenever a so-called God rapes or kills someone, where is the uproar???

You put all this energy in a few Gods doing their own thing....Man up and Build. Cats treat the word "Muslim" as the worst word in the English or Arabic language when the worst word in the English language should be "SLAVE" we see the impact of that word daily. It seems that if you use the terms 5%, each one teach one or save the babies its an evil thing, a foreign thing but if you use every cuss word in the book its peace??? Look how dudes jump with applause because someone called some Gods cock suckers? That’s what we big up these days?

Look, bottom line, step in my cipher trying to add on with a fag name even in jest you won’t walk out with that fag attribute WORD IS BOND. I don’t know how you build but that playing gay mess is straight trash...I don’t know why Earths didn’t jump on that mess fast. They probably out working or in school while weak gods typing fag post and making homo videos. But then again they seem to be playing the role of Gods these days anyway because the Gods...well look at them.

I’m sure most you dudes will react just like some uncivilized wisdoms but that’s to be expected and my response to that is shut up and build, not just on here go save some damn babies.

Peace
Self Justice Allah!

Peace to the Gods and the Earths

Word Is Bond

by Self Justice Allah

Have you not learned that your word shall be Bond regardless of whom or what?

ANS. – Yes. My word is Bond and Bond is life, and I will give my life before my word shall fail.

This Question as well as Answer is very important. It puts us in the position that what we say or do is a direct reflection of the Oath we took within ourselves to dedicate our Lives to teaching the Truth of Allah to the Lost People here in the Wilderness of North America. Now when we hear the term "Word is Bond" we think of it as just a saying.

Reason being that it has been and has continued to be used in a slang manner. When the Righteous study this Degree carefully we see that it does not say " Have you not learned when you SAY {word is bond} your word shall be bond regardless to whom or what" therefore there is not a need to SAY it, but there is a need to LIVE it. So when we act unlike ourselves we are breaking our Word, when we turn a Truth Seeker away we are breaking our Word. Our Bond is who we are. The Messenger of Allah elaborates:

"Be Yourself." What is our ownself? He answers that "Your ownself is a righteous Muslim, born of the Tribe of Shabazz".

Now the actions of the Righteous is something that is done consciously or non-consciously, meaning If the things you do in public whether someone is looking or not is that of Righteousness, your Word is being manifested. We are in a society strengthened by the ignorance of the so-called Negro in America, the desire to live right is so distant from the mind of the masses, that the thoughts of doing a good deed these days brings about mental pain to some. We have been trained for years to Seek and Destroy ourselves to the point that no matter what we say or do we appear to be Weak to our Women and our Children. We attempt to lie to ourselves and our Families saying "This is it, there is nothing out there for us" oh but there is dear family. We were blessed with the Power of Allah to Walk, Talk and Live MATHEMATICS. When we do, we start seeing how Mathematics is applied by measuring or weighing the situations that we come across, then produce an answer that allows you to be successful. Man must realize that his Word is a direct reflection of Him being God. Every single thing we do and say (wisdom) is our Lives on the line. The fact that we know that God is man forces us to use our Brain to teach and train the private soldier (body) is our Bond. The Messenger of Allah shows this in Message To The Black Man:

"God is a man and we just cannot make Him other than man, lest we make him an inferior one; for man's intelligence has no equal in other than man. His wisdom is infinite; capable of accomplishing anything that his brain can conceive."

We have made an Oath to ourselves to help save the Babies in this Lost Wilderness, I ask you, is it saving Babies when we stick that needle in our own children’s brain by living completely opposite of God? Why must we lie to our children about the things they need to know? Why must we harm ourselves by infesting Our minds with mental Pork (lies, trick- knowledge) and repeatedly poison our bodies with the Hog and other things that Allah said would wither our bodies into non- existence? I will tell you why, Our brains have been sleep for so long that when we hear the truth our minds fool us into believing that the Truth is to far fetched to be true. In some cases those of us who accept the teachings of Allah fall victim to the very thing or things that we teach to stay away from.

Brothers and Sisters our Word is based upon our Duties and Actions, which allows us to interact with one another, our Word is the Breath of Life (truth) that Allah blew in us.

When we receive the Proper Education and spread it to the Needy our Word becomes Bond within us; the collective forces of the total population of the Original People keeps that Bond that our Word manifested.

WORD IS BOND !!!

"The 14th Degree: Part 1 - How to Keep House" by Soledad Alfaro Allah

The 14th Degree: Part 1― How to keep house.

By Soledad Alfaro Allah

Housekeeping is an art that many of us fall short of mastering. It is a task that is often thankless, no one notices when it is done, and everyone notices when it isn’t. Many times the pace of day to day living makes it difficult to stay abreast of our household chores. Not many people would like for their lives to be dominated by housekeeping chores, so here are a few suggestions for cleaning up quickly and efficiently.

Develop a daily plan for keeping house, and stick with it. Save larger, more involved chores such as laundry, deep cleaning floors, washing windows, for the weekend or when you have the time to devote to those specific chores. Do your first cleanup in the morning before you leave for work, or if you stay home, right after everyone has eaten and whoever is going off to work or school is out the door. If you home school your children, involve them in the cleanup. Assign them household chores relative to their age and ability. For example, our eldest son is responsible for the trash, our eldest daughter for sweeping the living room floor. Cleaning your home first thing will set the tone for the day. If you do your cleanup every day, it will make your weekend cleaning less difficult. You may need to add chores later on in the day as you see fit, washing dinner dishes, picking up toys and clutter, however, these chores should be minor if you do a thorough job in the morning. Start your reorganization by putting together a portable cleaning kit.

Include in your kit:

· Mop bucket
· Spray cleaner
· Window cleaner
· Furniture polish
· Cleaning rag
· Dusting rag
· Sponge
· Scouring pad
· Small bucket
· Broom and dustpan

Carry your kit with you from room to room beginning in the room adjacent to your kitchen and proceeding to each room as you come to it. Children should be responsible for their own rooms; the only chore they should have in their room in the morning is to make their beds. All room straightening, picking up toys, putting away clothes and shoes should be done the night before. Our children straighten up their rooms right before their baths; it is part of their nightly routine, pick up, bath, bed. Here are my suggestions for daily cleanup, do the rooms in the order they come in your house or apartment.

Living room:

· Pick up and put away books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
· Remove any items that don’t belong, toys, shoes, dishes, etc.
· Straighten furniture
· Dust
· Sweep

Bedroom:

· Put away clothes and shoes
· Make beds
· Put dirty clothes in hamper
· Straighten dressers and nightstands
· Dust
· Sweep

Bathroom:

· Clean toilet, sink, bathtub, mirror and faucets.
· Wipe down countertops
· Straighten towels and floor mats
· Sweep

Kitchen:

· Wash dishes
· Wipe countertops, stove and refrigerator
· Sweep floor, wipe up any spills
· Put away utensils
· Clean sink

Once a week, in addition to your daily chores:

Living Room:

· Polish furniture
· Vacuum
· Clean dirty spots on walls
· Water plants
· Vacuum furniture

Bedroom:

· Change sheets
· Vacuum
· Wipe down items on dresser tops and nightstands

Kitchen

· Mop floor
· Clean refrigerator
· Clean stove front, top and around oven door
· Wipe down cabinet doors
· Clean appliances

Bathroom

· Clean mirror, medicine cabinet
· Change towels
· Shake out rug
· Sweep and mop
· Scrub toilet bowl, bathtub, sink
· Clean dirty spots on walls

These lists are just suggestions that have helped me be a better housekeeper, adjust them any way you see fit, use what works for you in your home. The key is to be consistent and quick. Quick― not haphazard― know what you are going to do and get to it. Develop a system and stick with it.

Housekeeping, however, is more than keeping things put away, dishes washed and laundry done. The woman is responsible for keeping the house in a spiritual sense as well. Our homes should be places of refuge for our families, safe havens in a world of unrighteousness. I heard a sister relate a story about a day in her marriage, she said her husband came home from work, leaned against the door, and let out a deep sigh of relief. She said that made her feel so wonderful, because he could have given the sigh of relief from the other side of the door. Our families should always look forward to coming home, not because it is simply a place to rest their heads, but a place to renew their spirits.

Fill your home with your positive energy, fill your heart with love for your self and your family and it will permeate the air. Small touches make big differences, fresh flowers, the smell of bread baking, these things all add to the atmosphere of home. Mind makes matter, think positively about your environment and your environment will reflect your positivity.

Do not neglect the home that houses your essence; take time to care for yourself. If you are run down, your family, your environment, your health and well being will suffer. Treat yourself as the vessel that contains the most valuable part of you, that which makes you who you are. Rest when you need to rest, feed your spirit and your mind. Accept that you are not perfect, and not every day will go perfectly. Allow yourself the occasional late start or missed chore, beating yourself up will not make you a better person or a better housekeeper. Things happen sometimes, accept it and move on. Housekeeping is a necessary part of our lives, but it doesn’t have to govern our lives. Become a more efficient housekeeper and leave yourself more time for the spiritual housekeeping. Let us all strive to make our homes places of peace, love and harmony.

The Choice To Homeschool

by Soledad Alfaro-Allah

Today in America, over seven million children are educated at home. In the wake of the school killings at Jonesboro, and more recently, at Columbine High School, more and more parents are making the decision to home school. Some parents educate their children at home because they feel that the quality of education that is available in the public school system is inadequate. Still other parents choose home school out of a feeling that the public school system is sorely lacking in qualified and concerned educators, who in spite of years of post secondary education, certification and accreditation, bring with them to the classroom the preconceived ideas, notions and prejudices that affect most of us in society. While a great number of parents home school their children out of concern for their safety, a desire for a better education, or the desire for their child to have teachers who genuinely care for them and their well being; the majority of children are home schooled because their parents wish to impart on them the moral values and personal beliefs by which they should govern their lives.

The education of an individual does not merely consist of reading, writing, mathematics, science and the academic subjects that the state deems "a complete education." An individual is shaped by his or her social interactions, familial environment as well as the greater community. Our children must make decisions on a daily basis that may seem trivial to us as adults, but in the formation of their social conscience, individual responsibility, and spiritual well being, can be monumental. Whom one sits with at lunchtime, plays with at recess, or even converses with for a few moments in the hallway, can immediately lock a child into a group, which in turn, locks that child into a role. Children live up to our expectations, if a child is expected to be a troublemaker, eventually, a troublemaker is what he will be. A child who is accepted into the "A" group or clique is disadvantaged as much as the child who is not. The child who is accepted will eventually carry out behaviors that will keep him or her in that group, while the child who is not part of the group will either try to become a part of the group or will suffer at the hands of its' members. Either way, how they have treated another, or have been treated has an impact on their psyche. We live in a society in which importance is based not upon one's character, but upon one's financial standing, not upon righteousness, but upon popularity. It is the "A" group or clique, but on a much larger scale.

Teachers are, without argument, the most underpaid and unappreciated people in our communities. The measly salaries that we pay those who are charged with the education and development of our children, demonstrate the skewed priorities of this society. Many Americans no longer think twice about the exorbitant salaries that we pay to professional athletes, but will grumble bitterly about a 4% raise for teachers. It is this imbalance that causes teachers to become uncaring and bitter, and justifiably so. By no means are all teachers unqualified or indifferent to the education of our children, but even the most diligent, the most caring, the most professional teacher has his limitations. In a good scenario, better than most schools actually have, a teacher will have fifteen students in his classroom. It would be nearly impossible to give each child the attention they need, and it is impossible to give all of the students equal time. How then, does a teacher decide which child to pay more attention to, and which child less? Would they base their assessment on skill level? On personality? On parental involvement? Race? Religion? Economic status?

Parents who choose to educate their children at home come under attack from many sides. We are questioned about our motives and our qualifications. We are accused of segregating our children, giving them a substandard education and depriving them of a social life. The first thing I always say to detractors is that, no one loves a child more than the parent. Therefore, no one wants better for that child than his or her parents. Home school parents are some of the most meticulous and diligent teachers to be found, for the simple fact that it is their own child's future that they hold in their hands. When you home school your child, there is no one to blame for their failures, no one to blame for their shortcomings or inadequacies. It falls squarely on your shoulders. Home schooling children is no easy task, and not one to be undertaken lightly.

The beauty of educating your child is that their development does fall squarely on your shoulders. There is great freedom in being able to choose what and when your child learns different concepts. If your child is 8 years old, but can read at a fifth grade level, he may read at a fifth grade level. He does not have to wait for the class, he is not bored doing work that he has already mastered. The teacher, the parent, knows exactly what her child knows at any given moment. In addition to the academic subjects that the child must master, and please-- make no mistake, your child will be tested, she becomes completely educated in the eyes of the people who love her the most, her parents.

For many families that home school, the decision was based on their own moral and spiritual beliefs. Spirituality and religion are different things, one can be religious about watching the same television show on Thursday nights. A religious person is not necessarily a spiritual one, and vice versa. Spirituality is much greater than visiting a building on a designated day of the week, it is part of who you are, and is incorporated into your way of life, it is the measure by which decisions are made, from what you eat and where you live to what you wear and whose company you keep. If a family is indeed centered on spirituality, why then entrust its' most valuable members, the children, to anyone or anything that does not coincide with that family's belief system? Home schooling is not for everyone, it is a task that must be undertaken with love, patience, dedication and support. Home school families are continually criticized and judged, however, any family who keeps the development of the children into complete beings at the forefront will be successful.

"Master Fard Muhammad: Prophet or God?" by Dr. True Islam

2009-01-21T19:30:00.000-08:00

Master Fard Muhammad: Prophet or God?

There has been quite a bit of talk lately about Master Fard Muhammad, whether he was God or simply a prophet. As is known, in the Nation of Islam it is taught that he is God, the Supreme Being of the Universe. Others, such as certain members of the Nation of Gods and Earths (though certainly not all), teach that he is not God: he is a ‘prophet’ who simply brought the knowledge of God to the wilderness of North America. This latter claim is based largely on the fact that in some early literature, such as Lost Found Muslim Lesson No. 1 (1-40), Master Fard Muhammad is referred to as ‘Prophet, W.D. Fard.’ The argument is that he originally identified himself as Prophet, but the Hon. Elijah Muhammad later (mis)understood him to be God. The claim is that Master Fard Muhammad never called himself God. If he did call himself God, of course, then those who deny that he is God yet hold on to the material that he brought (i.e. the Lessons) are in a bind. They must count Master Fard Muhammad a liar or ignorant of his own self. Either way, one could surely not maintain any allegiance to the Lessons which, after all, are the record of exchanges between him and his student the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, both of whom would have taught that Fard is God. So the question is, Did Master Fard Muhammad himself claim to be God? Why is he called a ‘prophet’ in the Lessons? This excerpt from my upcoming book, The Book of God (Revised Edition) answers these questions. I offer it simply as a contribution to the discussion.

(Excerpt From True Islam’s forthcoming The Book of God [Revised Edition]: An Encyclopedia of Proof the Black Man is God)

14.6. Prophet or God?

The Apostle Paul makes an important claim about the Son of Man (Christ Jesus) in Phil. 2:6-8:

Who, being in the Form of God,
Did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited
He emptied himself (or: He made himself nothing)
Taking on the form of a servant
Becoming as (ordinary) human beings are;
And being in every way like a human being,
He was humbler yet,
Even to accepting death, death on a cross.

In this passage we learn of the coming Son of Man’s kenosis (self-humbling). The verb kenoo means metaphorically to “deprive” or “make of no effect.” Christ being in the “form of God,” morphe theos means both that he was born with a glorious divine body and that he was born with the very nature of God himself (1). Yet, he deprived himself of these, or, better, he “made them of no effect.” That is to say he did not exploit this divine form and nature. He instead assumed the appearance and condition of a normal human being, allowing himself to serve and suffer. Habakkuk 3:4 therefore prophesizes that God, when he comes from Arabia at his advent, will “veil” or “conceal” his power. He will appear to all as a simple human; a lowly human because he will serve and he will suffer, though having the very nature of God he did not have to do either.

It is in this context that we must understand Master Fard Muhammad’s statement, recalled by one who heard his very first addresses in Detroit: “My name is W.D. Fard and I came from the Holy City of Mecca. More about myself I will not tell you yet, for the time has not yet come. I am your brother. You have not yet seen me in my royal robes.”(2) The “royal robes” are clearly metaphor for his glorious divine form and status.

Thus in the Lessons as well as in the editions of the Allah Temple of Islam’s early newspaper, The Final Call to Islam, Fard is referred to by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad as a Prophet, not God. He came among the Black community in Detroit humbly, not as God; as a servant (silk-peddler). Some have understood these early descriptions of Fard as ‘Prophet’ to indicate that he was not therefore God. The claim is that he never called himself God. He called himself prophet, but Elijah unilaterally exalted him to “God-status” after Fard left. This is incorrect.

Firstly, Master Fard Muhammad never called himself “prophet”; he called Himself God. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad told Hatim Sahib in 1951:

"He did not teach us that he (Master Fard Muhammad) was a prophet. We used to call him a prophet. I made the followers call him prophet because I (did) not know exactly what name to give him. No one called him prophet before me. First, I thought we should call him Master; later I thought we should call him prophet, and later I told them that he (is) neither of either one; I said that we should call him the ‘Almighty God”…He (Fard) came to Chicago and delivered a speech in which he said, “I am God himself,” and I looked at him and he looked at me when he said so…He did not say that “I am a prophet,” but he said that “‘I am the one who comes in the last day.”(3)

It is thus inappropriate to seize these early characterizations of Fard as ‘prophet’ as the final word. The author of this characterization, the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, admits to only ‘trying it out’ as he was searching for the right terminology. When Master Fard Muhammad and his secretary Ugan Ali first visited Elijah at his home in the fall of 1931, according to the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, “(Fard) said that he was Mahadiah and that he was Allah who everyone expected to come two thousand years after Christ who was crucified at Jerusalem.”(4) It is thus Master Fard Muhammad himself who is the source of his characterization as “God.”

Fard’s divinity as a Black man was apparently part of the teaching at that first Temple on Hastings Street. Robert Harris, after sacrificing his roommate Josef Smith on a make-shift altar in his home on November 21, 1932, claimed that he was ordered to do so by the “Gods of Islam,” by which he is believed to have meant Master Fard Muhammad (who wrote about “sacrificing four devils” in his book, Secret Rituals of the Lost-Found Nation of Islam) and Ugan Ali. Thus, when the detectives (Oscar) Berry and (Charles) Snyder entered the Temple on November 22, 1932 to arrest the two of them, Ali, Fard’s right-hand man at the time, was at the podium proclaiming himself “God of the Asiatics.”(5)

It was not just to ‘gullible Negroes’ that Master Fard Muhammad revealed his divine identity to. At the First Precinct police station Fard told detectives Berry and Snyder that ‘he was the supreme being on Earth.”(6) He told Dr. David Clark, psychiatrist at the Detroit Receiving Hospital who observed and diagnosed him for five days, that he was the Supreme Being on Earth. (7) Fard’s claim to divinity was published in not only in the Detroit papers, but in the Chicago papers as well. (8) These reports are likely the basis of the claim made by Brother Yussuf Muhammad, one of the early followers of Fard, that

"When the police asked him who he was, he said: ‘I am the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.’ He told those police more about himself than he would ever tell us."(9)

It was thus Master Fard Muhammad who was the source of the claim that he is God, and Elijah Muhammad who first claimed he was prophet, not the other way around. But the Hon. Elijah Muhammad clearly did not mean to deny Fard’s divinity by calling him by names such as ‘prophet’ or ‘master.’ These were the terms of honor that the would-be preacher was most familiar with. He tried them out in his presentation of Master Fard Muhammad to the people, then abandoned the first, knowing all along it did not adequately define Who He Was. We know for a fact that calling Fard ‘prophet’ did not mean for Elijah that Fard was not God. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad tells us that during that time “I used to go to my clothscloset (sic) and pray to Fard who brought us the truth that I was longing to hear.”(10) The Hon. Elijah Muhammad is here admitting to praying to Master Fard Muhammad as God, even while calling him ‘prophet.’

Not only did the Hon. Elijah Muhammad originate the early practice of calling the God a ‘prophet,’ it was he, not the Hon. Louis Farrakhan, who first thanked Allah for sending Master Fard Muhammad to us. He said to Hatim Sahib in 1951:

"Mr. W.D. Fard taught us what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat. That was a great lesson to us. We all today pray and are thankful to Allah for sending him."(11)

He thanked Allah for sending Mr. W.D. Fard even though Mr. W.D. Farad was, according to the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, “Allah himself incarnated.”(12) These are no contradictions. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad was displaying profound theological insight. In the Hebrew Torah, God Himself appears at time icognito. Instead of coming in his glorious, divine body he comes in a normal human form called mal’ak Yahweh, often translated “the Angel of the Lord.” But we now know that this mal’ak Yahweh is no ‘angel’ but is God himself in an unrecognized human form. The term mal’ak means literally ‘ambassador’ or ‘sent one/messenger.’ Thus in these biblical narratives (e.g. Gen. 16; Judges 6) God himself appears to people as a “sent one” looking like a normal human.(13) Who “sends” God in these biblical contexts? The Council of the Gods (Elohim). Who do we thank for sending Master Fard Muhammad? Allah, i.e. the Council of the Gods. This biblical tradition of the God coming among humans as an unrecognized, ordinary human described as a ‘sent one’ sent by the Divine Council exactly parallels Master Fard Muhammad’s (God’s) coming among us as an unrecognized ordinary human being and referred to as a ‘sent one’ or prophet sent by the Divine Council.

As the apostle Paul in the Philippians passage noted with regard to the coming Son of Man or Christ Jesus: he will humble himself and suffer, not because he has to, but because he doesn’t have to. That he would suffer on our behalf when he did not have to demonstrates his Godhood. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad noted as well:

"Mr. Fard Muhammad (God in Person) chose to suffer three and one-half years to show his love for his people who have suffered over three hundred years at the hands of a people who by nature are evil, wicked, and have no good in them.
He was persecuted, sent to jail in 1932…He submitted himself with all humbleness to his persecutors. Each time he was arrested, he sent for me that I may see and learn the price of Truth for us (the so-called Negroes)."(14)

Peace,

Master Fard Muhammad asked the question and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad answered it. Allah had revealed it to his 5%.

20. What are the prescribed laws of Islam to the said person of that ability?
Ans. That the civilized is held responsible for the uncivilized and must be punished by the NATION OF ISLAM.

Prescribed means:
1. To set down as a rule or guide; enjoin.
2. To order the use of (a medicine or other treatment).
3. To establish rules, laws, or directions.
4. To order a medicine or other treatment.
5. Law

Law means:
1. A rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement, or authority.
2. The body of rules and principles governing the affairs of a community and enforced by an authority
3. The condition of social order and justice created by adherence to such a system

Islam means:
1. Peace
2. Mathematics
3. Righteousness
4. The Culture of I-God
5. Love, Peace & Happiness

The prescribed laws of Islam was given to the Lost Found Nation in the Wilderness of North America with the coming of Allah in the person of Master Fard Muhammad. He came from the 24 scientists in Mecca over to North America by himself to return the Black Man "back to civilization." He accomplished this by teaching his Uncle the knowledge of himself and his true culture Islam. He taught that Islam was the highest system of Mathematics. Allah (Clarence 13X) would give it to his Five Percenters and call it "Supreme Mathematics."

When Fard asked the question "What is the meaning of Civilization?", his prize student Elijah Muhammad answered and said the 1st five principles of civilization was (1) Knowledge (2) Wisdom (3) Understanding (4) Culture and (5) Refinement. In order for one to be amongst the NATION OF ISLAM they must have these 5 principles to be considered civilized. After one has mastered that lesson he is now amongst the civilized and is accepted into the NATION OF ISLAM.

The NATION OF ISLAM is a culture (way of life). It is based upon a system of supreme mathematics that hold every person accountable for their duty. That duty is to share what you know with those who do not know. Or in other words, the 5% (Civilized) must teach the 85% (Uncivilized savages). If a person does not perform his duty then he will be punished by the NATION OF ISLAM. It is the NATION OF ISLAM (this includes Allah & his 5%) that are the gatekeepers to civilization. For we are the only ones who are truly civilized. It also means that every said person of that ability with the knowledge must impose this law at all times.

Allah gave his 5% the first five degrees of civilization in the Supreme Mathematics to put us on the road to civilization. Although he did this outside the confines of the Temple, he did his job no less. When confronted by FOI at a Universal Parliament as to what he was doing, it has been reported that Allah said with confidence, "I'm civilizing savages!" He then pointed to a juvenile who was released from jail for an alleged homicide, he pointed to another kid that had a drug problem and to another that was a juvenile delinquent. The FOI had no choice but to acknowledge that Allah was living out the duty of a civilized man.

Allah stayed with his 5% to be a guide to bring us into civilization. He had an awesome task of trying to keep the young brothers and sisters on the path of civilization. As the Nation grew, Allah had created a post of Supreme Investigator. This is a post that Master Fard Muhammad had created for each group of Muslims (that included 40 or more). Allah made an Elder by the name of Rajab the Investigator to help his 5% stay on the right path.

The FEDs (COINTELPRO)

2009-01-21T19:09:00.000-08:00

Peace,

In my book "In the Name of Allah" I included actual FBI file excerpts from their Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) against Allah and the Five Percenters. I did this purposely.

In 1965, the FEDS started to monitor Allah and his Five Percenters very closely. The majority of their efforts toward the "nuetralizing" of Allah and the Five Percenters are not available to the public.

Needless to say, I’m no grand advocater of conspiracies, but beyond a shadow of doubt, COINTELPRO still exist today.

THE FIVE PERCENTERS ARE STILL VERY MUCH ON THAT LIST.

Not only is the Five Percenters on their as a movement, but certain people with potential or influence inside the movement are likely targets.

There is no doubt about this.

For those that know me or who were there, know I was arrested because I was a target of theirs. I was detained and interviewed by the Joint Terrorist Task Force, the Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a local Police force and a Gang Unit all in a 24 hour span.

A lot more could be said that I won’t go into here.

But I’m saying that to say, I know how real it is firsthand. I know what they are capable of doing and what they told me they could do and would do.

Now why am I revealing this? Because we are all targets, that includes the Allah School, the Sun of Man paper, the Five Percenter paper, the Allah Team, the Universal Truth, Original Thought, and key brothers on the net (especially if you have websites) and I must add all 5% authors. Also if you are very active with the regions and organizing the NGE...chances are you are on that list too. Some may be more targeted then others..but nevertheless.

Now there might be more on this list, or I could have it wrong..I’m just thinking how they would think. I’m not saying any one on this list is an "agent", But I’m saying we are all targets of the agents.

Now, everything is real, the enemy can try to "flip" you. And you better believe some in all Black organizations are PAID agents that exist amongst us. Now, having the knowledge of the Devils (10%) efforts against us...You have to avoid the "traps" that they set for you to fall in.

Brothers and Sisters, understand that we are being watched. Beware of rumors and propaganda. Be on the lookout for those who promote disunity, distrust and murder. Be on the lookout for all "aggressors." Study Yakub’s history until you have it down to a science on how the enemy operates.

The Devil is extremely wise. Understand what part you play in his overall plan when you are slandering, backbiting, causing suspicion, or trying to incite the righteous to fight and kill one another.

I am secure and know that Allah is the God and nothing happens except by his permission or what he allows to happen. Allah plans and the devil plans and Allah is the best of all planners.

Try to encourage unity between all of your brothers (regardless of their philosophy or religious differences). Judge them on whether or not they are being righteous.

Study Parts 1 & 2 of the COINTELPRO program and realize it is still in effect. Don’t contribute towards it.

You say you are God..then learn to love your Brothers.

More is to be revealed on this subject...but be always on the alert. Let’s be intelligent in all of our dealings.

Peace,
Your Brother in Islam,
Wakeel Allah

"Self-Styled Wisdom" by Wakeel Allah

2009-01-21T19:05:00.000-08:00

Peace Gods and Earths,

I want to broach the subject of what we in the 5% Nation call "Self-Styled Wisdom."

Many brothers and sisters who are new to the cipher now-a-days might have never heard this term as it appears to be minimalized with the recent efforts to streamline or make the 5% into an Organization.

And I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but when you advocate a collective organization you do to some extent sacrifice individuality (especially in the case of the 5% who prided themselves as being individuals and not part of a monolithic society).

"Self-Styled Wisdom" can be loosely defined as the guaranteed right of "Freedom of Expression" as it exists within the CULTURE of the Five Percenters. In other words the person has a right to share his or her understanding as they see fit from their own unique perspective and it would be respected as such.

The basic criterion for "Self-Styled Wisdom" as it related to the 5% was your ability to stay consistent within the realm of Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabets and 120 Lessons.

Or the other less traveled alternative was to be able to justify your wisdom (ways and actions) through different "sciences" of life that were apparently outside of "120". (Needless to say the majority of the time it caused an unusual level of waywardness). Other times, some good might have come out of it (but it was rare).

Self-Styled Wisdom means that an individual has the right to wisdom in accordance to their understanding of the knowledge. So you can manifest yourself differently from other individuals is the point and even more important your brother and sister would have a high level of respect for your build because it was recognized by the Gods and Earths that everyone had a right to their "understanding." And in fact, it was openly promoted and taught that an individual’s understanding is the "best part."

I said all the above to say...I noticed that the principle of "Self-Styled Wisdom" appears to be on its deathbed. This beautiful principle that Allah set forth is under threat and very unpopular in today’s cipher.

Dogma has threatened to take the place of "Self-Styled Wisdom" and the God given right (pun intended) an individual has to express themselves in the cipher is unpopular unless they are parroting the "status quo" (even if the status quo is based upon myth, hearsay, false knowledge, etc.).

Picture Galileo in front of the Catholic church pitching his hypothesis that the Earth rotates around the sun as well as his other scientific discoveries. Then picture unlearned ones and the unlearned wanting to crucify him because he dare challenges the status quo. Then picture the learned ones who knew better but remained silent, or even yet attempted to persuade the unlearned ones that Galileo was the "enemy" of the church or better yet "God". This the learned (10%) would do because Galileo threatened their rule over the status quo because they sat as the gatekeepers of the lie and had the most to benefit from it.

There used to be a saying in the 5% Nation "We are all intelligent people." In other words, we have the greatest thing one can have and that is a "mind." And you can gain to learn Knowledge from all individuals...even the babies.

Self-Styled Wisdom. I once read in "Message to the Black Man" that Allah is "the wisdom of all civilizations." We all have something to contribute to the cipher and everyone ought to respect that.

Another thing that cause me to write this build is because I don’t think it’s right that people can’t communicate what they think or believe out of fear of being "persecuted." So they have to keep their true thoughts "private" because it won’t be accepted by the 85% or the 10% although what they are advocating is consistent with the God Given truth in Allah’s vast Universe.

You shouldn’t have to confess to righteous things in private and not be able to share these righteous things publicly. But many feel we have created this kind of environment and I actually agree and really I sympathize with many of these individuals who live in a cage and can’t freely express themselves. Because all of them are very good people.

It’s going to take everybody to break these shackles. Start showing your brothers and sisters respect for what they have to say. Don’t go around saying "You can’t teach that." Listen to what the person has to say and show respect for their understanding. You might learn from it.

Everybody has to do their part in the process. We can get there and we can do it.

Does anyone see the need to have or keep the concept of "Self-Styled Wisdom?"

There might be some who say "Wait a minute Wakeel, that’s not true, we all have the right to freely express ourselves and no one wont be persecuted!" If you feel this way...chances are...you might be the status quo.

Me, True Islam and another God were just building and True mentioned "the silent majority." What is the silent majority? We didn’t actually build on the definition but I draw it up as the majority of brothers and sisters who remain silent in the midst of a vocal minority they disagree with. Usually they are silent from fear of consequences. I have ran across many brothers and sisters who are like this.

"Self-Styled Wisdom."

All praises are due to the Father Allah for bringing this concept to the cipher.

Gods/Earths should feel free to manifest themselves in their own way.
Not that it won’t be contested, but you should have the freedom to present it. And the Free and Dumb should analyze it and process it accordingly to Allah’s mathematics or the Supreme Islam.

Or here is another saying we have "You can accept it, or reject it, but don’t disrespect it."

Peace,
Wakeel

Tell us.... by Lord King Saviour Allah

2009-01-21T14:10:00.000-08:00

37. Tell us what the devil teaches the eighty five percent? That the God is a RIGHTEOUS and UNSEEN Being-exists everywhere?

Ans.-Allah is the God in the Earth and in the heavens above, and is Just and True, and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM. But is not UNSEEN. IS SEEN and is Heard everywhere, for He is the ALL-EYE-SEEING.

Peace,

Allah is SEEN as an ALL RIGHTEOUS BEING. Can one see Allah smoking, drinking, steeling, cheating, deceiving, dirty, lying, womanizing, being more in tuned with his X chromosome, i.e. homosexuality? Emphatically Now Cipher. The devil teaches the 85% that God can do all of these things because He created the world. That God did create a world that was world by an unrighteous standard. Making the Righteous God go into hiding for that 6000 year time period. After that time that God, Yakub, would no longer be able to rule the world. The Righteous God would then come out of hiding and destroy Yakub’s world.

When a so-called god smokes, drinks, deals with porn, etc, he makes himself a mystery because there is not a rational or logical person that could put that type of image as righteous and call that God. That person would be called a mystery God. You would be a mystery to yourself and the people and would be invisible. No one would pay any attention to you that would want some good or positivity in your life. As a matter of fact you would be calling negativity into your realm. That is what negative eating, drinking, thinking, and action would bring into existence.

Its when you neglect that type of behavior that you become SEEN AND HEARD everywhere and there is NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in YOU. You are JUST and TRUE because you are opposite of this world and are a part of a world that was a mystery for 6000 years. Understand God to give Justice.

Peace,

Lord King Saviour Allah

"Then why did God make Devil?" by Lord King Saviour Allah

2009-01-21T14:09:00.001-08:00

Peace,

38. Then why did God make devil?

Ans.- To show forth His Power, that He is ALL WISE AND RIGHTEOUS. That He could make a devil, which is weak and wicked, and give the devil power to rule the Earth for six thousand years and, then, destroy the devil in one day without falling a victim to the devil’s civilization. Otherwise to show and prove that Allah is the God. Always has been and always will be.

Once the devil is destroyed within one’s self, which means one is internally clean. Once you are internally clean then you would only be externally clean. You eat right, think right, act right, and can only be right. This can only be done by not falling victim to the devil’s civilization. We know and understand the meaning of civilization is one having knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement, and is not savage, in the pursuit of happiness.

What is the devil’s civilization? Weak knowledge, weak wisdom, weak understanding. A grafted culture, refined by unruliness or without order, who is savage, in the pursuit of drug and alcohol infested, homosexuality, lack of responsibility, excuse making, unable to produce anything that would be solution based, continuing the problem in order to profit off a people and extend His (the devil) time in this world.

You have to first get rid of this type of thinking and life style and destroy that which is the weaker side of self and ultimately, consistently, and constantly think positive and on a higher level. The devil would no longer exist. You will be found always being responsible, a problem solver, high moral character, i.e. being God. When one is doing that then you are showing forth your power that you have created something ill in yourself and that you can destroy that in one day without falling victim to that which is in error. So that you are able to do that in others. Creating and establishing a RIGHTEOUS kingdom for all of society to look up to and live in.

"Attributes" by Wakeel Allah

2009-01-21T14:02:00.000-08:00

Peace,

An attribute is a righteous name one chooses for their self or is given by another righteous person. Some Gods and Earths are religious about not using the term "attribute" because they associate it with "Muslims." Some might just call it your "righteous name." Either way it’s the same thing.

When I came up in the 5% Nation of Islam, we really didn’t choose our own names. This was reserved to be done by the brothers who were already in the God Cipher. In my day, your name was "given" to you and it came complete with a hand written manifestation. After you memorized the manifestation you were able to "add on" to the manifestation after you became confident in your lessons. Ironically, I didn’t receive my name this way. I got my name in the middle of a beef the Gods had with some cats while we was "out of town." I was never given a manifestation to my name. I actually wore this name for a hot second without even knowing the "breakdown" to it. I quickly researched it and lucky for me it was one of the 99 attributes of Allah and it already had it’s own "breakdown" in the "book of names." It was a real simple definition, nothing like the "breakdowns" that was handwritten by the Gods. I received it later.

In any case, as far as I’m concerned, I feel when you are seeking an attribute to find you an "Original" name in the original language. I personally don’t advocate to choose an "English name". Or at a minimum, I think you should have at least an original name in addition to the "English name." And by "English" I mean any name found in the English language (that includes the Supreme Alphabets) such as "Master" "Power" "Righteous" etc.

So I say either have a full original name or do "half and half" (and Allah on the end of your name doesn’t count in that "half and half" equation.

But again, this is just my recommendation. Because God one day won’t be using the English language. You will be given back your own language spoken by the original people.

Peace,
Wakeel Allah

"Enlightener" by Wakeel Allah

2009-01-21T13:57:00.000-08:00

Peace,

Here is a small FAQ in regards to young brothers/sisters who are searching for Enlighteners to get down with Allah's Five Percent.

One, you should make sure you have read some articles or books written on the subject of the Five Percenters.

If not, I strongly suggest for starters you read:

Message to the Black Man by The Hon. Elijah Muhammad
How to Eat to Live by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad
In the Name of Allah by Wakeel Allah

Also be extremely careful and wise when choosing an "enlightener". If you are young (or even older for that matter), selecting the wrong enlightener could ruin your life. Selecting the right one could improve your life.

You have the power in selecting an "Enlightener." Just don’t select any person. Be extremely wise in your selection and in this day and time, it’s not a bad thing to be your own enlightener until you are comfortable in finding one who suits the example of a 5% you would like to be. If you follow the course of this teaching as outlined to the 5% by eating the right foods (books, materials, information) then you really can’t go wrong.

The first thing you should focus on is staying true to your moral stance. Focus on the morals first...then everything else will fall in place from there.

But make sure you "vet" (interview) your Enlightener.

Let me give you an example.

When I was at Morehouse College, we had a lot of college students out getting knowledge of self. Mostly they were getting knowledge of self from other college students that were qualified to be their Enlighteners.

But then we had some college students who started selecting Enlighteners who weren’t in school, weren’t progressive, on drugs, and even drug dealing in some instances.

So my question to them would be "Why in the hell would you select somebody like that to be your enlightener when obviously you are on two different paths?" So my response would be to someone like that "Well, you are in school and your major is such and such, so why don’t you build with this positive God over here that’s in the same school with you and has the same major and is qualified to be an Enlightener?"

So what do you think happened to some of the college students that preferred to be taught by brothers on a different path than them? We don’t even need to ask because we already know what happened...their lives went in the wrong direction.

You have to be extra careful of the company that you keep.

Now the above is also the same in vice versa.

Peace,
Wakeel

A-Team Table Talks: Queen Mother Dora Speaks! (The Father's Wife) by Wakeel Allah

2009-01-21T13:55:00.001-08:00

Peace,

Below is a tiny excerpt from the Allah Team Table Talks Series Books and DVDs.
This is from a book tentatively titled:

"Queen Mother Dora 3X Smith: A History of a Black Community Matriarch and Wife of the Late Hon. Clarence 13X Smith (Allah), The Founding Father of the Five Percenters."

This small passage is from a somewhat informal DVD interview conducted in Allah’s family home. This particular passage features Queen Mother Dora (Father’s wife), Shamel Allah (Father’s Grandson) and Wakeel Allah.

Listen as Queen Mother Dora sets the record straight about her husband (Allah) being allegedly kicked out of the mosque due to domestic violence.

(excerpt)

Wakeel Allah: And I think another thing I think we need to clear up is that one of the rumors was—is that He got expelled because of domestic fights between you two. So can you comment or clear that up?

Queen Mother Dora: [laughs] No! Now you know!

Wakeel Allah: I think it was important that we clear that one up. [laughs]

Shamel Allah: It makes me laugh. That was a good one! That sounds like a Hot 97 one right there!

Queen Mother Dora: I tell you. He was something else. He didn’t believe in fighting with women. My husband? No. He’d say, “That ain’t what you do. You don’t be fighting with no women.” You know, like the men used to be beat up the women then...

Shamel Allah: Granddaddy would beat they ass outside when he’d see them.

Queen Mother Dora: He’d catch them if he could and whoop they butt.

Wakeel Allah: Is that right?

Queen Mother Dora: Yeah!

(end of excerpt)

Stay tuned...more will be revealed.

New DVD and Book coming soon....

Peace!

The Quran (History) of the 5% Nation (The Harlem Six) by Wakeel Allah

2009-01-21T13:52:00.001-08:00

Peace,

I think it’s most important to mention the Harlem 6 whenever mentioning the beginning of the Five Percent Nation.

In the beginning of my research, I was perplexed about not knowing how the Harlem 6 fit into the picture. That used to be a mystery to me. Because history tells us that the Harlem 6 preceeded the First 9 Born, yet the First 9 Born get the credit as being the first and I sort of understand why today. There didn’t appear to be that much history you could find on the Harlem 6. I first heard about them from Old Man Niheem from Medina who came to rest with us in Allah’s Garden many years back. Yet, it was the Harlem 6 that appeared to be the missing pieces of the puzzle so to speak (as far as the known comprehensive history of Allah’s 5% known to the public). I tried to do it justice in "In the Name of Allah." But you could really write on those brothers all day.

In researching it, one could see how the Harlem 6 prepared the way for the rest of the youth in Harlem to accept Islam. They are really unsung heroes as it stands. I still don’t believe that they get their just due. Those were some bad brothers!

The Harlem Six
1.Robert Rice (Robert X, Malik) 17
2.Wallace Baker (Wallace X, Walik) 19
3.William Craig (Amin, Eye God) 17
4.Daniel Hamm (Latif) 18
5.Walter Thomas (Jahad) 18
6.Ronald Felder (Rahim) 18

It was revealed to me that the Harlem Six main influences were Min. Malcolm X, Bro. Yami, Bro. Oscar X, Bro. Armando X and Bro. Sonny X. These men were doing the most teaching in the community amongst the youth at the time. Malcolm wasn’t teaching them hand-to-hand so to speak but he was their major influence.

129th Street in Mecca was the "strong hole" where many of the children went to get "the knowledge" from the Brothers from the Harlem 6. Our firstborn Earth Omala was one of the main sisters who supported the cause of the Harlem 6 and she attended many of the court hearings. Firstborn Earth Queen Omala is the truth! I call her "Firstborn" but some refer to her as "Secondborn" because she was the 2nd Earth in the Nation. Firstborn Prince was her God. But Firstborn Prince was the 3rd God that Allah taught, yet we call him "Firstborn" not "Thirdborn" so that’s why I call Queen Omala "Firstborn Earth" because there were a few other Firstborn Earths in the same manner there were other "Firstborn" Gods. So that’s my reasoning..but anyway getting back to the story.

At this time the youth in Mecca were starting to embrace Islam. Everybody was attempting to get "knowledge of self" but very few had the keys to the knowledge. The Harlem 6 shared what they got from the brothers who were teaching them. The Brothers were giving them some good information but the focus was on the militant part of the NOI teachings. A special emphasis was being placed on the martial arts and guerilla warfare. In fact, some of the baddest brothers you don’t even hear their names mentioned in the history today. Some of their names are "best kept secrets" because of everything that went down back in the day. But needless to say they were very fierce teachers and very fierce students and they didn’t take any sh*t from the white man.

The Harlem 6 had many proteges. One of their closest proteges was a young brother named "Butchie" (who we know as the 1st Born Prince today). Then you had "June Bug" (that’s First Born Niheem or Bishme Allah), and you had "Black Mack" (That’s first born Black Messiah).

And what happened was eventually the Harlem 6 all took "righteous names". They all got their names from the Holy Quran which was the thing to do at that time. Some of the first first borns eventually did the same. Some actually had their muslim names before they met the Father.

However, at the time, Bro. Oscar X was part of another crew that wasn’t teaching the Harlem 6. That was Allah the Father who was out the mosque but he was still going by the name of "Bro. Clarence 13X" and/or "Puddin." It was also "Bro. John 37X", "4 Cipher Akbar", "Bro. Robert" (that’s Rasul or Hebekah) and many many others...way too many to name here.

Anyhow, to make a long story short the Harlem 6 all got "busted." They went to jail. While they were in jail, lo and behold, the Firstborns would meet "Bro. Clarence" in the "Hole". "Karriem" heard Bro. Clarence say he was "Allah." Of course Karriem was already familiar with the term Allah because he already thought he was a "muslim." So he challenged the Father (so to speak). And Allah pulled out a degree from Lost Found Muslim Lesson No. 2...and then he broke down the science behind his "favorite wine." This convinced Karriem because he had no idea what Lost-Found Muslim Lesson No. 2 was and "Bro. Clarence" could run those lessons and make your head spin. So Messiah didn’t need to use his "meat cleaver" after all. (Like I said, they were very serious about their Islam in those days). Oh, there was another brother there named "Joey" (we know him as 1st Born Salaam).

Okay, now, Karriem and Salaam, "took it back to the lab." By this time the Father went and got his young protege "Bro. Robert" and sometimes they called him "Bro. Eugene" (same person as Hebekah). He said, "I got some other young brothers I think you ought to meet." So there they were... "Bro. Clarence", Bro. Eugene, Mack, Junebug, Joey and Butchie. Thus the Father started teaching his "Firstborns". Now the Firstborns had a little crew of trainers. The Father brought a couple along with him...One was Bro. Willie 16X who "had big eyes and smiled all the time but was as lethal as the deadliest rattlesnake." He also had Bro. Abdellah and Bro. Ahmad, both martial art experts. And you better believe that the Father was nice with his martial arts. And I can’t forget Abu Shahid. So the Father and crew started training the Firstborns. (I think it was only around 6 firstborns at the time, and another crew of other brothers, some made the list, some didn’t.)

But check this out...some of the firstborns went to jail...and who did they see? Some of their big brothers from the Harlem 6! They said, "We got the lessons!" We got them from..you remember Bro. Clarence? You know "Puddin"? Well, he’s Allah." He gave it to us. They then started teaching the brothers who taught them. And that is how the Harlem 6 came into the fold under "Allah’s 5%." When Allah was arrested in May of 1965, he taught some of the Harlem 6 in the "Bullpen."

All praises are due to ALLAH.

Sorry about the long build, but I always think context is a good thing. It gives us better insight into how things unfolded.

Any mistakes that appear in any of the history above, charge it to the mind and not to the heart. I’m typing from my memory as revealed to me by the brothers who were there.

Thank you to all the Great Gods and "Moons", who sacrificed much in order that we can stand on their shoulders today. Thanks to all the righteous people who made it possible.

Be righteous!

I’m sure more will be revealed.

Love, Peace and Happiness,
Wakeel *7)

"Soldiers to Statesmen? Another Look at Israel's Assault on Gaza" by Ashahed M. Muhammad

2009-01-21T13:47:00.000-08:00

Soldiers to Statesmen? Another Look at Israel’s Assault on Gaza
By Ashahed M. Muhammad

Gaza is under attack from the land and sea while Israeli troops and tanks prepare for what appears to be a ground incursion. At the time of this writing, the fourth day of Israeli assault codenamed “Operation Cast Lead” has begun. Worldwide in places like Iran, Australia, Lebanon thousands are protesting and in London thousands marched on the Israeli embassy there.

Much has happened very quickly and for some, a little background may be needed.

In Gaza, there was already a shortage of medical supplies due to 18-month old Israeli and U.S. backed embargo (sanctions) which immediately followed the Democratic elections on January 25, 2006, in which the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas won 76 seats of the 132-seat Palestinian Legislative Council. Israel and the Bush Administration did not like the results of the election—which by all accounts was considered by international observers to be free and fair—and therefore, decided to initiate a blockade in hopes of weakening the resolve of the Palestinian people, and punishing those who voted for Hamas. Hamas was not even given the chance to establish rule in the territory that they were elected to govern. From day one, they were challenged internally and externally.

Even though there was a lack of food, medicine, electricity, clean water and other basic elements of daily living, the Palestinian people continued to resist, thwarting efforts to destabilize the elected Hamas-led government and failing to cause its overthrow. Keep in mind, there were already severe restrictions on travel for the Palestinians. Many Palestinian women lose their babies or die themselves waiting to cross into areas where they can obtain medical treatment.

The Annapolis conference in November of 2007 consisting of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, GWB (Guns, War and Bloodshed a.k.a George W. Bush) and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was largely seen as a failure, and as stated earlier, the travel restrictions and sanctions failed to achieve the desired effect. It appears as if the green light has been given to use lethal force in an all out tactical assault aimed at completely eliminating the Palestinian people. At the time of this writing, 350 Palestinians have been killed and 1,500 have been wounded. Now, with hundreds already killed, thousands injured, days filled with F-16 air strikes and nights with machine gunfire from Apache military helicopters, the world blames the victims of violence for the violence.

There are many differing viewpoints and a volatile mixture of ideas and attitudes in this region characterized by unpredictability and conflict since Israel’s creation in 1948.

There is a very small parcel of land with 1.5 million people living on top of each other in small homes. It is nearly impossible to avoid civilian deaths if firing missiles from the air. While former Mossad agent, current Israeli Foreign Minister, and prospective Israeli Prime Minister Tzipi Livni insists that only “military” locations are being targeted as she makes the media rounds as leader of Israel’s public relations offensive, the death toll continues to rise.

According to eyewitness Sharon Lock of the International Solidarity Movement, children were on the way home from school when bombing began and they were terrified. Many children watched their friends being wounded by the “targeted strikes” of the Israeli Defense Force. Ms. Lock said even the “best equipped” hospitals in Gaza were already suffering as a result of the Israeli blockade and therefore, unable to even take care of the day to day sick. Now, as hundreds are being killed and injured, an already terrible humanitarian crisis has instantly become worse, while the world watches.

But do they really know what they are watching? Do you? If you are relying on the corporate controlled media machine to deliver the truth then it is safe to say that you are still searching for it.

There are several free options if you would like to get more balanced coverage in your elusive search for the truth. One option is to go to www.livestation.com and download the application. After downloading, you will be able to watch English language Al-Jazeera, or listen to BBC and other stations to get a more balanced view of the realties in Gaza and the Israeli massacre. Additionally, you can check PressTV, which is based in Tehran at www.PressTV.com and watch it live. You also can go to LinkTV.com which provides feeds from many news channels across the Middle East. The left-leaning DemocracyNow! is always a good option at www.democracynow.org. Remarkably, even Israeli based news found at the Jerusalem Post or Ha’aretz Daily websites are unable to bury the truth of the devastation and chaos caused by the air strikes.

While listening to Al-Jazeera, I heard Franklin Lamb of the group Americans for a Just Peace in the Middle East and he said that Israeli Defense Forces vs. whatever resistance that could be mounted by the Palestinians were like a “pea-shooter versus a howitzer” in this “conflict.” He and others have accused Israel of being in violation of International Law, and until they are brought to the bar of justice, they say, no peace can be expected. Collective punishment of any nation can be considered a War Crime. Failing to provide healthcare, food and water, not just during wartime, but in general can be considered a War Crime.

A very important historical reference for readers who are interested is the The Sharpeville Massacre in March of 1960. When we look back on this Israeli aggression, you will see that many of the elements are the same, it remains to be seen if the resulting action will be the same.

In my forthcoming book “The Black Principle: Prepare to Rule” I have written a chapter titled “From Soldiers to Statesmen.” I mention this for the following reason. Over the next few days, you will hear an oft-repeated mantra that the members of Hamas are “thugs”, “killers” and “terrorists.” I don’t personally know any members of Hamas, but here are some important facts to consider: the African National Congress (ANC) was once considered a terrorist group. It’s most famous and recognized leader, Nelson Mandela is considered a humanitarian and one of the most admired and revered men on the planet. He was jailed for 28 years by the wicked Apartheid government in South Africa as a result of his leadership in what they considered a “terrorist” organization.

The Palestinian Liberation Organization was considered a terrorist organization, then one day in September of 1993, we witnessed the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat standing on the front lawn of the White House shaking hands with then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin under the watchful eye of then U.S. President Bill Clinton. Shortly thereafter, in 1994, Arafat received the Nobel Peace Prize along with Rabin and Shimon Peres who was at that time Israel’s Foreign Minister. On Nov. 4 1995, Mr. Rabin was assassinated by Yigal Amir, a right-wing Jewish settler. Mr. Peres is currently Israel’s President.

In fact, many of Israel’s key figures such as Menachem Begin, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak all killed many in service to their nation.

Ironically, Haganah, a Jewish paramilitary organization operating in what was at the time, the British Mandate of Palestine from 1920 to 1948, became the core of the Israel Defense Forces. It is considered by many to be a terrorist group. Lehi, also known as the Stern Gang, was an armed underground Zionist group with the goal of forcibly evicting the British authorities from Palestine with the future goal of allowing unrestricted immigration of Jews and the formation of a Jewish state. This group carried out many assassinations and covert operations. David Ben-Gurion, the architect of the Jewish State of Israel was called "The Armed Prophet."

Many key government officials—statesmen if you will—started out as solders and were designated by those who wanted to remain in power as “terrorists.”

In your leisure, look into the various aspects of the history of The Irish Republican Army and Sinn Fein.
In this situation, is a “soldiers to statesmen” transformation possible?

As I bring this particular writing to a close, and as the almost inevitable Israeli ground campaign begins, ask yourself the following questions: Was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas aware of these plans, or just powerless to stop Israel from using their weapons of war to kill Palestinian people? Does the aggression have anything to do with the political aspirations of Tzipi Livni?

Remember, in the cause is the solution, and when analyzing the reasons why decisions are made, who stands to benefit the most by the outcome?

"Who's Going to Take the Weight?" by Understanding Allah

2009-01-21T13:45:00.001-08:00

Peace.

The following was a 6 page follow up article with greater detail into the life of the sister and the case itself that printed a month after the incident. First I would like to add on a little something... I kept/keep that article in my book of life cover that has other fallen G’s n E’s that I have known and some I have not. It is a reminder and a motivation to our duty.

Also is... I would like to add, when i first got life and for some years, i would often here the words brotherhood and family. I still hear them, but i’m speaking on a common basis.

There is a serious need for those that have maintained or witnessed, or fought for strong family life within the 5% cipher to advocate strong family life. No organization in the black community is really making any head way to day due to our moral view and our lack of family life. The repetative display or portrayal in video and print and audio of our broken relationships produces a negative tatoo if you will, on the mind. Because this shows no solution, so the mind continues to acknowledge problems and identifies with problems and becomes or continues to be problem "orientated." We sell this off to each other as "reporting" or "just reporting." BUT if there is no clean glass well then how would anyone even have a goal to strive for. This of course is a predominant Black issue. We cannot/do not help one another, so white men is scoopin’ our queens, or they seek comfort in one another, the colored man/woman is adopting our babies and we watch the parade go by with tears in our eyes.

A 5% Community is what many of us came up in to a degree. Many today view this teaching soley as an individualized/istic lifestyle of "do whatever." Older (sometimes brothers the same physical degree but perhaps a degree highter of wisdom) Gods used to say heads fall off when we stop coming around one another.

The civilized is held responsible. I’ll stop there. One must define "civilized" and "responsible" that is an acknowledgement of who the powerful people are. Those that are responsible are those that "can" do. Those of said ability. We that know better cannot continuously allow the caricature of a nostalgic, decadent, rebellious idea as to who we are continue to be the rule rather than the exception. Good must rise like cream and those that know should add on to good. God does not expose the vice. He did not care about the poor part. Now that is referring to that which God makes. We must take responsibility as MAKERS and OWNERS of our situations, realities and destinies. Many times and much of the preservation of the poor part comes from not having "made" anything. The non making creating produces frustration in the mind and we lash out in a negative fashion. Thus the birth of the "hater." The maker is never the hater. Cause he/her too busy adding on to and protecting that which he/her OWN.

We expose the virtue and through that it covers the vice until we over come that. We must contuously advocate that God is a righteous being that is seen and heard everywhere. This is shown through our love and that love is seen by our works. Helping people is helping self. And that is the true mantra of the 5% as the Father brought it to the youth.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught Malcolm X and others in a specific manner on teaching ISLAM in such a densely populated urban area as New York. He taught Malcolm to find out what the needs of the people are and then go out and meet those needs for the people. Malcolm taught that hardcore during his life, and Allah the Father’s testament in just coming out of the Temple and his willingness to go among his own peers and the youth in an attempt to find out their needs and strive to meet them and to teach them how to do the same and meet their own needs and the needs of others is a statement of work of Quranic proportions from a Social Work standpoint.

The 5%ers in definition of the 16th degree in the 1-40 is true social workers. For the 5% know the true identity and not this displayed caricature of the community in which they serve. Now the key word there is "serve." Allah provided a service all 5% provide a service to those in need to those who lack. This is shown some clarity in the 1-36 and the 1-40 because you have this population of Black People (5%) who is Allah yet they "serve" a population (85%) that is Allah too yet know it not yet. That shows a beautiful humanitarian connection to life. And it makes me think of The Holy Qu’ran which states to Worship/Serve Allah as if you see Him and as if He Sees you. This is how The Gods and Earths show and prove the Oneness of Allah as being Indivisible in the Holy Quran to the entire world.

To the 5%. Keep on the job and do not discourage and continue to find the best manner to use the best of knowledge and the best of wisdom for the best of solutions. To those that didn’t know there is a duty attached. Study the heart and see if this is what the heart is built for. Think, reflect and then do.

If We Are Weak
Get Strong
Get Right
Not Wrong

Leaving as I came with the science of civilization.

"Unity" by Wakeel Allah

2009-01-21T13:39:00.000-08:00

Peace and Love to the Universal Family,

I was just reading through one of the threads and I saw several comments which alluded to mutual respect between individuals who historically have different perspectives as it relates to SOME (definitely not the majority) of the 5% teachings. And the truth is the different perspectives (and we all have them) are small compared to the perspectives and interests we all have in common.

The greatest interest the majority have in common is "The Black Man is God."

Now, you often see the commonalities shared by these most INTELLIGENT MINDS when the "Builders Build." It is the distracting personal attacks that always prevent the Builders from Building with one another. Some is done through SPORT and PLAY. I dare say this too, it is often due to RELIGIOUS and POLITICAL divisiveness.

B.U.T., there is a way to overcome this kind of divisiveness of the NEGATIVE COMMITTEE.

First things first, you have to create an atmosphere which is conducive to positivity.

And there is an effective way to do that. The Father spelled it out perfectly when he gave us the 8th universal principle in mathematics which is to BUILD or DESTROY.

The commandment of BUILD OR DESTROY is rather simple:

BUILD is to ADD ON to POSITIVITY, DESTROY is to take away or SUBTRACT ALL negativity within the cipher.

The science of Build or Destroy is required of all Civilized people. If you review the 17th through the 20th degree you will see the individual and group dynamic of the Build or Destroy concept.

Allah (the Father) had done something that was GENIUS in theory, yet difficult to apply in reality. He attempted to deemphasize RELIGION (ie. dogmatism, prejudice, narrow mindedness, polytheism, ritual worship, symbol over substance, zero tolerance, etc) and emphasized CIVILIZATION (morality, ethics, non-biased, fairness, freedom, justice, equality, virtues, principles and RESPECT).

Quick sidetrack but still on topic: When I first got my Supreme Alphabets and read the 18th degree and it stated "a rule is a guide which the Black Man uses to keep everything right and exact." That always stuck out in my head and I knew it was truth.

"Civil" denotes "Law"....."Civilized" denotes "Law Abiding"... Mathematics is A if not THE Universal Law...

But the difference here is that one can use Mathematics for Good, or one can use Mathematics for Evil.

So we say "the prescribed laws of ISLAM"...because ISLAM (as we understand it) is the highest manifestation of Mathematics and is MATHEMATICS used for GOOD.

Now, it would almost be impossible to find an intelligent, righteous, civilized person among our people who would not DESIRE unity of the BLACK MAN. That is if they are serious and sincere.

You have many who come amongst us for SPORT and PLAY and they take this culture lightly and they disrespect it from a moral perspective and they demonstrate their disrespect through extreme immoral behavior (wisdom, or should we say lack thereof).

But the beautiful thing about CIVILIZATION VS RELIGION is that civilization is very mathematical and it could care less about your religious claim, it’s interest is to give you time to "see what you are going to do".

So in civilization you are judged on your "ways, speech and actions."

And then your ways are measured by ALLAH according to the "prescribed laws of Islam to the said person of that ability."

And if it doesn’t measure up...there is severe punishment to be meted out by the NATION OF ISLAM.(as in the righteous Black Nation, including Gods and Earths).

And if your way is the way of ALLAH then there should be a reward (peace and happiness).

But herein lies the problem.....

"WE FEAR MEN AS WE OUGHT TO FEAR ALLAH".

And that’s why Allah (as in the Father) used to always promote one of his most favorite degrees to all he came in contact with and that degree was "Have you heard that your word shall be bond regardless to whom or what?" And the answer is a very serious one, so serious that the individual in his response has to put his life on the line through an oath and covenant with Allah. And I’ll let the scientist figure out who Allah is in that degree. clue: it has multiple meanings and levels.

But I’m long winded so let me get back to the premise....

And that is we should have a unity between the brothers and sisters regardless of different perspectives.

If we are to be at odds with each other, let it be over an ethical or moral issue as outlined by Civilized people....not any religious bickering.

This isn’t to say we shouldn’t "debate" or what have you...There is a saying in Islam that we are to "argue in the best of manners."

The best way would be to implement Supreme Mathematics (meaning the inherent righteous principles in it such as respect, etc.)

So I commend the brothers/sisters who can hold righteous and respectable discussions with their brothers/sisters who may have different perspectives.

So I applaud all who will do the right thing regardless to whom or what.

Peace,
Wakeel

Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series (Coming Soon) by Dr. True Islam

2009-01-21T13:38:00.000-08:00

Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series (Coming Soon)

Truth of God Institute Presents

Master Fard Muhammad and the Truth of God

Unit I of

The Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series

The Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series is a series of intensive two-day seminars held in various cities across the US and Canada designed to (1) make available to participants the empirical evidence supporting the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and (2) provide substantive knowledge and critical resources enabling participants to intelligently discuss and empirically defend the covered aspects of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series is dedicated to empowering through education Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, regardless of affiliation. Through a combination of Powerpoint presentations, directed discussion, and study tools, the Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series seeks to strengthen confidence in the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and help participants develop a language whereby this confidence may be conveyed in an informed manner. The first unit of this series, Master Fard Muhammad and the Truth of God, will treat the following subjects:

1.] The Bible and Point #12 (Is God a man or a spirit?)
2.] The Qur’an, the Sunna, and Point #12 (Did the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teach true Islam?)
3.] Master Fard Muhammad: White Convict? Indian Buddhist?
4.] God Eternal? The Self-Created Black God
5.] God, One or Many? Understanding the Twenty Four Scientists

The Supreme Wisdom Seminar Series is for serious seekers of knowledge only. This is an intensive seminar that requires commitment to study on the part of the participant if the participant will gain maximum possible benefit from the seminar. Successful completion of the seminar should enable participants to:

1.] Discuss the Truth of God from the perspective of the Bible in its original Hebrew and Greek context and show its congruence with the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
2.] Discuss with imams, shaykhs and lay Muslims the Truth of God from the perspective of the Qur’an, the Sunna, and the Classical Arabic Islamic intellectual tradition and demonstrate that Point #12 is not ‘un-Islamic’.
3.] Intelligently, non-dogmatically discuss the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teaching on the Self-Created Black God and demonstrate its congruence with ancient Near Eastern, Biblical, and Islamic tradition.
4.] Intelligently, non-dogmatically discuss the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teaching on the Twenty-Four Scientists and demonstrate its congruence with the monotheism of the Biblical/Islamic traditions.
5.] Demonstrate that the popular claim that Master Fard Muhammad is a white, drug-convicted felon (Wallace Dodd Ford) or the new claim that he was an Indian Buddhist is totally unfounded and wrong.

Fees include:

1.) A pre-seminar Self-Study packet which includes scholarly articles (to be read prior to attending the seminar), study guides to assist in the reading of the scholarly articles, and a glossary of technical terms which will both facilitate an easier read of the articles and will help develop the lingua franca necessary to discuss the Truth of God clearly and effectively during the seminar.
2.) The shipping and handling cost to ship the Self-Study packet to the participants at least a month prior to the seminar begins.
3.) A detailed, user-friendly study guide synthesizing the material presented at the seminar (given out during the seminar), putting this material at the ready finger tips of the participants.
4.) Two (2) days of Power-Point lectures and directed discussion.

Fees do not include food or lodging.

Why register for this seminar? Dr. Wesley Muhammad, founder, director, and chief scholar of TGI has recently explained,

“For the last 18 years of my life I have intensely studied this teaching (of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) academically. All of the degrees that I have acquired from academic institutions (B.A., M.A., Ph.D.) I did so only in the course of this study. By Allah's Grace the time, commitment and sacrifice has paid off: we can now absolutely vindicate the teachings of Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. My training in Biblical Hebrew and Classical Arabic has enabled me to demonstrate convincingly that the God of the Bible, Quran and Sunna is indeed a man. We have demonstrated that Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's description of the self-creation of the Black God from an atom hidden in darkness agrees with the Truth of God as found in the Indic Rg Veda and other Sanskrit texts, the Pyramid and other Kemitc texts, as well the ancient Cuneiform tablets of Sumer/Akkad.

In April, 2007 I spoke at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, GA. The subject of my presentation was: “The Black Man is God: Truth or Lie?” As I pulled up to the lecture hall I noticed one of the organizers of the event outside 'fishing,' inviting passers-bye to the presentation. One such 'fishing' encounter caught my attention so I held back and watched it from a short distance. It was a sister whom I will later learn was a Spelman student and she was not at all impressed and even less interested in attending the presentation. But the brother insisted, and she continually resisted. This sister was simply not interested in hearing some 'True Islam' speak about the Black Man being God, and she made this clear. But for some reason the brother was relentless. After several minutes of this tug-of-war the sister finally conceded and entered the auditorium, no doubt to get the brother off of her back and with the intension of staying for ten minutes and then leaving. I ended up speaking about two and half hours with another 30 minutes Q&A. The sister stayed the entire time. In fact, she was one of the first to raise her hand once I opened it up for Q&A. This sister prefaced her first question with these words: "Peace brother. I believe everything that you have said is the truth. Can you tell me…" I said to myself after she stated this: "Word? Everything?" I just spent two hours presenting a Powerpoint slide-show on God the Creator being a Black man who died and whose birth, death, and resurrection is allegorized in the New Testament story of Jesus the Christ. It was amazing to me that this sister who was so turned off by the flyer and insistent on not hearing the presentation at all, would openly confess the Truth of the Black God! Anyone who has had the AUC (Atlanta University Center) experience knows that Spelman sisters in general are the most unlikely converts to the Truth of the Black God!

Why do I share this story? For some time after that Atlanta presentation that sister and her words resonated with me until it dawned on me: we are living in a day wherein we not only have the Truth of God – we've had that for over seventy years now – but we have also the PROOF of the Truth of God such that even the most skeptical and resistant can be made to see. Not that this sister was the first in my 17 years of teaching to be persuaded. Allah has blessed me to bring many to Islam and the Truth of God. Everyone who knows me and my work knows that for seventeen years now I have been debating and successfully defending this Truth, not just in street ciphers and fireside chats but in classrooms and auditoriums with professors, scholars, imams, preachers, etc. But this sister in Atlanta suggests to me that a new day is upon us. In those past discussions and debates the most resistant persons, while recognizing their inability to defeat the arguments presented to them, yet refused to allow themselves to be personally persuaded by the irrefutable arguments. But today, our level of understanding of the Truth of God and the evidences now available to demonstrate its correctness is such that 'knees bow and tongues confess.'

I thus decided to formally train as many who are interested in the science of the Truth of God. Truth of God Institute (TGI) will offer several short term and extended courses designed to expand one's knowledge and understanding of the Truth of God by exposing students to the full range of scientific, scriptural, literary, and historical evidences supporting the Truth of God as first revealed on these shores by Master Fard Muhammad/the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The extended, advanced courses are designed to train intellectual warriors –Truth of God scholars – preparing them to be able to go into any Synagogue, Church, or Masjid and discuss the Truth of God with the rabbi, pastor, and imam from a position of superior knowledge. I am convinced that today is the day the Truth of God will prevail in all arguments. This is not just academic. The state of Black America is a tragic witness of how desperately needed is the Truth of God in the Black community. I am convinced that we, collectively and individually, cannot do life right until we first get God right.”

What is Islam? (Is Allah a Righteous Muslim Part II)

2009-01-21T13:20:00.000-08:00

What is Islam? (Is Allah a Righteous Muslim Part II)

Peace to the Universal Family.

Why is there so much controversy over these terms 'Islam' and 'Muslim'? For the record, we (Allah Team) never called ourselves 'Muslim Gods'. Those who were critical of us did and we just accepted it as a badge of honor because we understand. We don't at all suggest that others should call themselves this. To each his/her own. But I need to address another issue that seems to underlie this whole discussion: What is Islam and what is a Muslim, really? Today, not only are some brothers rejecting the term 'Muslim' but they are also rejecting the term 'Islam.' The upshot of this is that these are supposed 5%'s who reject the terms on the basis of definitions provided by the 10% and perpetuated by the 85%. I beg your pardon…? I will quote what I said in another thread and elaborate further:

[Begin Quote]
Islam is the nature of Allah, that First God that created Himself from Triple Darkness 76 trillion years ago. Islam derives from the Arabic root Seem (s), Laam (l), Meem (m), which has a basic meaning of "soundness, well-being, wholeness, freedom from evil and defect, " and the word 'Muslim' is an active participle which means that a Muslim is one whose nature is Islam (Allah) or whose character and actions exemplify Islam. Islam is not a religion. It is righteousness. There are those who come in the Name of Allah who would dare to distance Allah and the Five Percent from Islam. These persons operate from the misinformed and misguided logic that:

"Islam is submission to Allah, and I am Allah. I therefore do not submit.I therefore am not Islam (a Muslim)."

But those who are studious know that Islam does not really mean submission to anyone's will. As the late Prof. Helmer Ringgren demonstrated in his study, "Islam, Aslama and Muslim (1949)":

"If we now sum up our results and try to find what is common for the various words that are formed out of the root [s-l-m], it appears that the common idea is wholeness, entirety, or totality. The words in question express that something is whole, unbroken and undivided and therefore healthy, or peaceful and harmonious...The stress lies on totality, not on submission."
Allah indeed is Islam."
[End of Quote]

Indeed, Classical Arabic commentators of the Qur'an (e.g. al-Baydawi) and lexecographers (e.g. Jawhari and Firuzabadi) point out that the term 'Islam' derives from the Fourth (IV) Form of the verb, aslama, and this verb without an accompanying preposition means "to enter into al-silm" and al-silm means "peace".

Now of course, this is not how the masses of practicing Muslims understand Islam. For these Islam is indeed a dogmatic religion. But how is it that today so many 5%'s follow the lead of the 85% in defining reality, especially Islam? Why do these supposed 5%'s believe in the teaching of the 10%? Of the 85%? In the thread on 'Prayer' I mentioned that the oft-repeated Muslim eulogy said after mentioning Prophet Muhammad, the Arabic 'salla'llah alayhi wa salaam,' literally means 'May the PRAYERS OF ALLAH be upon him and peace." The Arabic verb salla means 'to pray' and when used with the preposition ala (alay-hi) it literally means 'to pray for ….' Allah praying? Indeed so! But because the ulama' (Muslim scholars, the 10%) rejected the God of the prophets, the Black God, and therefore did not understand how it is that Allah could be said to pray (sound familiar?), they often translate this eulogy as 'May Allah BLESS him and peace". But the verb 'to bless' is barraka, not salla ala. Why do I make ths point? Only to illustrate the 10%'s manipulation of language through which they define reality for the 85%. However, the 5% do not fall victim to the lies of the 10% for we are all wise. The same ones who have convinced the masses (85%) that 'salla'llah alayhi' means 'May Allah Bless him' also convinced the same masses (85%) that Islam means primarily or even exclusively 'submission to the will of Allah'. Do we, the 5%, believe in the lies of the 10%?This same 10% also teaches that Allah is the name of a spook god. We, the 5%, reject their spooky, incorrect definition of Allah. Why, then, are some supposed 5%'s refusing to reject the 10%'s definition of Islam? Are these persons really 5%'s following the 85%, or are they 10% masquerading as 5%?

Who is the 5% in this poor part of the earth?

A Muslim is literally one of "soundness, well-being, wholeness, freedom from evil and defect, " or as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad put it, "a righteous person." Would someone dare deny that this is an appropriate characterization of Allah? Why would some brothers insist on the 10%'s definition of Muslim even when it is pointed out to them the real meaning of the term?

Who is the 10%?

Is the problem that the terms 'Islam' and 'Muslim' are Arabic terms? If this is the reason for the objection to these terms then said persons MUST cease and desist using the term Allah, for it too is Arabic! Some have even gone to this foolish extreme, claiming that the Black Man is God but not Allah because 'Allah' is a religious term. Lol!!! 'God' is not a religious term? It is okay to say 'The Black Man is God' but it is wrong to add "whose proper name is Allah"? What foolishness! 'God' is an Indo-European religious term. So the Black Man can be defined by the devils terminology but he cannot be defined by his own Original Arabic terminology? Who is the 85%? The irony is that some of these same brothers who deny that Allah is the Black Man's (God's) proper name also went bizerk over Wakeel Allah referring to the Father as both Allah AND Clarence 13X. We cant call him Clarence 13X and Allah is not God. What then are we to call the Father now, Puddin? Far from being 'all wise' these brothers aren't wise enough to keep from shooting themselves in both feet!Arabic is the Black Man's language; it is not the language of the white Arabs. They know this, why don't the 5% know this? Arab historians distinguish between two groups of Arabic speakers: the 'real' Arabs, al-'arab al-'ārabi and the arabized foreigners, al-'arab al-'musta'riba. The Arab/Muslim historians admit that Prophet Muhammad and his tribe, Quraysh, belonged to the latter, the arabized foreigners, al-'arab al-'musta'riba, descendents of Ismael through the Adnan-Ma'ad tribes. The true, original speakers of Arabic, al-'arab al-'ārabi, are the original dwellers in Arabia, the Black (Cushite) tribes descendent from Qahtan.

Who is the 85%?

Islam did not begin or end with Prophet Muhammad. The Black al-'arab al-'ārabi knew Allah ta'ala long before the Prophet. Nevertheless, the Prophet has an important place in the universal history of Islam and those who have no appreciation of him can not be true and living 5%'s. The Prophet did not advocate a Mystery God. Those who claim this are falling victim to the lies of the 10%. The Prophet was a 5% and the Qur'an is a Scripture of the Black God. What supposed 5% will deny the value of the Prophet and the Quran?

I can in fact Cee the wisdom in some brothers preferring the name 'Nation of God and Earths' (NGE) over Five Percent. While all brothers are by nature God, they are not necessarily 5%. There are many 85% in the NGE, just as there are many 85% in the Nation of Islam. To reject the terms 'Islam' or 'Muslim' because they supposedly mean 'submission to Allah' is to fall victim to the lies of the 10%. But the 5% don't believe the teaching of the 10%.

Who are the 5% in this poor part of the earth?

It is not that the definition of Islam as 'submission to the will of Allah' has no heuristic value: it does. There is a context in which such a meaning is useful. Thus, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad repeated made the point that Islam is "the religion of the entire submission to the Will of Allah (Message to the Black Man in America, 29)." For a rebellious people recently up from slavery, such a definition of Islam was (and is still) good for the Lost-Found members of the Tribe of Shabazz, whose founder (Shabazz) himself rebelled against the Will of Allah (the Divine Council) and this rebellion would in a sense become ingrained in the nature of the people he produced – i.e. our direct ancestors. In such a context, teaching Islam as the religion of obedience to God's Will to a people who had become accustomed to disobedience to the Divine Will and obedient only to the salve master's will was/is a necessary strategy. Our disobedience against the Divine Will (the natural laws of righteousness/wholeness) was/is detrimental to our health – see for example our dietary practices and how it is affecting our psychosomatic state. Thus, Black people in America had to be taught the value of obeying the Laws of Righteousness. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was equally clear that this teaching had strategic purposes and that Islam was in fact not such a religion. He said:

"Islam is not a religion. We call it a religion, but it's not a religion, because it is the nature of us; therefore, the nature of us can't be called a religion. That's why the 30th chapter and the 30th verse of the Holy Qur'an teaches you that Islam is not a religion, but it's the nature in which we were born." (The True History of Master Fard Muhammad, 35)

The 10% don't teach that "submission to the will of Allah' is a SECONDARY THEOLOGICAL definition of Islam, with a different PRIMARY meaning. If they did that they would be telling the truth and therefore not 10%. Those who insist that Islam IS a religion in which folk are called to submit, rather than acknowledge that it is primarily a state of 'wholness' and only secondarily 'submission,' are falling victim to the 10%. As Amir Ali, in his book "The Spirit of Islam" notes:

"Salm (salama in the first and fourth conjugations) means, in the first instance, to be tranquil, at rest, to have done one's duty, to have paid up, to be at perfect peace, and, finally, to surrender oneself to Him with whom peace is made. The noun derived from it means peace, greeting, safety, salvation. The word does not imply, as is commonly supposed, absolute submission to God's will, but means, on the contrary, striving after righteousness."

As I close I want to leave readers with two writings from two modern day Muslims on this subject of what is Islam. The first is from Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan, an important figure in Islamic Modernist movement. Khan is a Muslim intellectual from India who died in 1898. His build, posted below, looks remarkably like a build from a true and living Five Percenter. He makes several important points in this brief extract from his 'Lecture on Islam":

1.] All of the world's religions, including Islam, must be judged on the basis of an objective criterion: science. A religious tradition is true only to the extent to which it corresponds to scientific reality.

2.] Muslims and Muslim scholars do not help the cause of Islam simply by being dogmatic, claiming in debate that "This is true because this is Islam teaches." Khan says Muslims and Muslim scholars must SHOW AND PROVE that Islam is true by showing and proving that Islam is in agreement with scientific reality.

3.] Much of what is understood to be Islam today will not pass the scientific test. This is because much of what passes as Islam today is erroneous religion fashioned by the ulema or religious scholars. On the other hand Islam as laid down by the Qur'an and the Prophet, freed from the religious errors of the ulema, will pass the scientific test.4.] Real Islam is the nature of man, man's natural disposition.5.] Ahmad Khan thus declared: "Islam is nature and nature is Islam, " which sounds awfully like our mantra: "Islam is mathematics and mathematics is Islam."6.] Ahmad Khan is even able to refer to God as a person. Thus, according to this modern Muslim intellectual, Islam the religion as represented by most of the Muslim world and preserved by most of the ulema is an erroneous, un-scientific fabrication. True Islam (no pun intended) is scientific and is the nature of man.

Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan"Lecture on Islam"
My friends! Another problem is the big difference between critical research today [and its results] and the tenets of Greek wisdom of old, because the tenets of former wisdom were based on rational and analogical arguments and not upon experience and observation. It was very easy for our forbears whilst sitting in the rooms of mosques and khanqahs, to disprove teachings arrived at by analogous reasoning and to refute rational teachings by rational demonstrations, and not to accept them. But today a new situation has arisen which is quite different from that [brought about] by the investigations of former philosophy and wisdom. Today doctrines are established by natural experiments [i.e. experiments of natural science] and they are demonstrated before our eyes. These are not problems of the kind that could be solved by analogical arguments or which can be contested by assertions and principles which the ulema of former times have established…They (the ulema) did much to confront Greek wisdom and philosophy, but nothing or very little to satisfy the heart of the denier or doubter of Islam, by the way they would present to them Islam. It is neither sufficient for the firm believer, nor does it satisfy the mind of the doubter, TO SAY SIMPLY THAT IN ISLAM THIS HAS BEEN TAUGHT IN THIS WAY AND HAS TO BE ACCEPTED. [Need for a new theology.] In the same way there are many other reasons for which in our time Muslims need to adopt new methods in controversy. The person who considers Islam to be true and believes firmly in it, his heart will testify that Islam alone is true-whatever changes may occur in logic, philosophy and natural science, and however much the doctrines of Islam seem to be a contradiction with them. This attitude is sufficient for those who believe with a true and uncomplicated mind in Islam, but not for those who reject or doubt it. Furthermore, it is by no means a work of proper protection to confess just by the tongue that Islam is true, and to do nothing to strengthen it in its confrontation with the modern propositions of wisdom and philosophy. Today we need, as in former days, a modern theology by which we either render futile the tenets of modern sciences or [show them to be] doubtful, or bring them into harmony with the doctrines of Islam…I happen to believe that there is nobody who is well acquainted with modern philosophy and modern and natural science as they exist in the English language, and who at the same time believes in all the doctrines which are considered doctrines of Islam in the present-day understanding…I am certain that as these sciences spread-and their spreading is inevitable and I myself after all, too, help and contribute towards spreading them-there will arise in the hearts of people an uneasiness and carelessness and even a positive disaffection towards Islam as it has been shaped in our time. At the same time, I believe firmly that this is not because of a defect in the original (Deen) BUT RATHER BECAUSE OF THOSE ERRORS WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE, WILLFULLY OR NOT, TO STAIN THE FACE OF ISLAM…The person that states Islam to be true MUST ALSO STATE HOW HE CAN PROVE THE TRUTH OF ISLAM…in order to arrive at the truth it is necessary that we discover a criterion and establish a touchstone which is related to all religions in the same manner and by which we can prove our (Deen)…to be true…By this criterion I shall justify without any wavering what I acknowledge to be the original (Deen) of Islam which God and the Messenger have disclosed, NOT THAT RELIGION WHICH THE ULEMA AND PREACHERS HAVE FASHIONED….the only criterion for the truth of the religions which are present (in the world) is whether the religion [in question] is in correspondence with the natural disposition of man, or with nature (i.e. science). If yes, then it is true, and such correspondence is a clear sign that this religion has been sent by that PERSON (God) which created man. But if this religion is against the nature of man and his natural constitution and against his forces and faculties, and if it hinders man from employing these profitably, then there can be no doubt that this religion is not sent by the PERSON that created man…So I have determined the following principle for discerning the truth of the religion, and also for testing the truth of Islam, i.e. is the religion in question in correspondence with human nature or not, with the human nature that has been created into man or exists in man. And I have become certain that Islam is in correspondence with that nature…I hold for certain that God has created us and sent us his guidance. This guidance corresponds fully to our natural constitution, to our nature…After determining this criterion I clarified that Islam is in full accordance with nature. So I formulated that "Islam is nature and nature is Islam." …

The second, and final, build I want to share is from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad himself who, in a July 17,1970 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper, answered the questions: "What is Islam? What is a Muslim?" His discussion is worth quoting in full (as found at www.muhammadspeaks.com)

[Begin Quote]

Islam is something new to our Black People in America and these two questions are often asked - What is Islam And What is A Muslim ?

The Arab name, Islam, which means entire submission of the to the will of God in his religion, is what confuses the question. The Arabs call it Islam, Which means, To submit to the will of God.'

Our Black people were brought up by the enemy, white man, who did not want us to ever know anything about Islam, because once the black slave learned Islam, He would never be a slave anymore.

You can probably enslave a weak Muslim - one who likes the life of the wicked world of the devil. He will not care for Islam, although you try to teach Islam to him. He is all but drunk and suffocated with the cares of this world of the wicked white race. It is hard to teach such a person righteousness.

Islam has many significances to it. Islam is wisdom. Islam is guidance of God for Man. Islam is the only way of God. Islam is called a religion, although Islam is not a religion. Islam is referred to as a religion due to the many hundreds of various kinds of religions practiced today.
These various religions (practices) have captured the minds and hearts of the people, to believe in these religions, because they allow the people to practice the evils of this world's life. One who continues to practice the evils of this world's life is called a weak Muslim, or a weak believer.
Islam, as one of the scientists put it, is the sun of law and truth to outshine everything that goes for religion. Islam does not confuse the seeker, nor does Islam confound the believer. Islam is simple. This is why the sign of Islam is representing the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. Islam, the divine duty of man...He has it in the universal order of things.
The Black Man has the right religion as there is no other religion that you can believe in, or read of, or know of, that has the truth of that religion backed by the universal order of things. Only Islam is backed by the universal order of things. This is why it takes much tricking and tempting of you, by the Devil to pull you away from Islam, once you began to believe in Islam. Once you begin to believe in Islam, it is very hard to change you.
Many times, the weak Muslim will try to practice the evil of the devil, but he will not make a good actor as long as he knows Islam and is one of the believers of Islam.
The White Man - The evil race of people, knows Islam, but by nature they were not made to believe and to teach Islam. There are a few white people that believe in Islam as sincerely as real Muslims do. These white people will see the Here-after or will be around for a long, long time, but the white people and the black people who oppose Islam will be cut off. And they will be cut off, soon.
Islam is righteousness, Islam is Justice. Islam is Equality, Islam is Freedom. Islam is everything the created man needs.
The black people in America are, by nature, born Muslim. The enemy slave-making devil, deprived the Black Man in America of the knowledge of himself. Accordingly they have deprived the Black Man in countries other than America, of the knowledge of self. An eye of luxury is the first thing the Black Man looks at the white man with. This is why the white man's luxury must be brought to a naught. This is done to relieve the Black people who are in love with the white man because of his wealth and luxury. The white man got his wealth and luxury from the labor of the Black Man. The white man enslaves all who believe in him. The white man makes the Black Man work for him for little or nothing. The Black Man of Africa... The white man has robbed them of their good land which holds wealth in it. In Africa, the white man became the master over the wealth and he put the poor Black African to slave for little or nothing, to dig the wealth out of the earth and give it to the white man. Some of the poor Black African workers cannot change clothes. They do not have enough money to buy a change of clothing. They have to wash and dry their clothes so that they can wear them the next day, until the garments are worn out. Think about it - working for 16 and 20 cents a day. When could he ever buy a suit of clothes with that salary?
The Black Man in Africa is pitiful, as the Black Slave in America was, once upon a time. Now the enemy will make the Black Slave in America look dignified like himself, in order to fool the Black African and other natives of the world of Black Man. They do this to make these other Black men fall for the white man's tricknollegy. In America, on the streets and in traffic, you cannot tell the master from the slave. The white master sells the black slave his fine automobiles, if he is able to pay for them. They both look alike with fine clothes. This is to trick other black people, to follow the white man. We must remember that the Jesus foretold the rich and wealthy man and the poor man under the parable of Lazarus and Dives, the rich man. But the end came to both. The end came to the wealth of the rich man and an end came to the poor man's laying down and wishing and grieving for the wealth of his master. Then like a modern Samson, he got angry and he wanted to pull the building down, even if he had to go down with it. He is well angry with the white slave-master when he wakes up and learns that he has been robbed so thoroughly that he does not even know himself. The Black man in America has a wonderful chance to be set in Heaven at once. And not in Hell, if he will accept the opportunity by accepting Islam.

Islam is the nature in which the Black man was created. The Black Man was created in the nature of righteousness and not in the nature of evil. I do not care what you say about the Black man he is not an evil man, by nature, The black man is good, by nature, and all you have to do is strip off that which is not himself. The Black Man being born under and nursed by the enemy, the enemy will make you to be like he would like you to be. This is what has happened to us, the black man in America. Just think of how much love the Black man and the Black Woman has for the white people. You can hardly get the Black man on the road to self. The road to self is an unlimited road, But the white man has fascinated the Black Man with wealth and luxury and the Black Man is not looking to do anything for self. He wants his self in the white man, just for the sake of temporary luxury. They are satisfied just to work for the smile and the look of friendship of white people. The snake smiles at his prey until he gets him within his reach, and then he swallows the prey. And in the Bible, there is a place where it teaches us that God will bring out of the dragon's belly that which he has swallowed.

No where in the bible is the white man referred to by a good name. The book begins with the white man symbolized as a snake in Genesis, and it ends with him as a snake, in Revelations. Why style the white man as a snake? He has the characteristics of a snake. By nature, the snake will let you know that he does not like you. When the snake looks at you he begins to stick his tongue out. This is a warning that he does not like you. And the snake has a forked tongue and not a straight tongue. This warns you that he is something that is compared with a human being that also has a forked tongue, who tells lies on one side and the truth on the other side. But he keeps the lie going stronger than the truth. So the forked tongue person is something, which by nature it is not good to take him for a friend. In the nature of the white man, he has a forked tongue. He will talk truth with you and he will talk evil with you. This is what is called tricknollegy. He lies to you in one word and tells the truth in another word to keep you thinking he is a friend of yours, By admitting the truth in one word and following it with a hundred more words that are other than the truth. The white man knows that by nature you are one of the righteous and if he can get you to believe him then he laughs at God and says, " If they follow me, you do not own them." Today, He would like to take all the so-called Negroes to hell with him by fooling them into thinking that he is a 'good adviser' to them, as the holy Qur'an teaches you and me, in the 7th Surah. But when the showdown comes he denies that he is guilty of misleading you. He says that you misguided yourselves. "Had not, from among yourselves come a warner, A Messenger warning you of these your days'? Remember these words "Your Days" Black Man, these are your days. The white man's days are gone. As I have often said, I do not blame the white man for using the very nature in which he was made. It is the God of these white people who is to blame for making such a people, And the white man obeys his God. Everything you see him do he is made to do it. If you Black Man follow the white man, you are to blame for the consequences of your following an open enemy. The white man is not a secret enemy he is an open enemy.

Islam is the only thing that can take our Black People into self again, after six thousand (6,000) years away from self. We had four hundred (400) years here in America, as a regular experiment - People, to be experimented on by the devil. Black women should be made to stay away from the devil. And when enough Black Men believe in Islam, they will keep our Black Women out of the presence of the white man. The white man feels so sure of the power he has of tricking the Black man that day and night you see Black Women on the television programs dancing around and doing his bidding in the public. These black performers do not care anything about what you are trying to do to unite our Black People together. They do not care, and for the sake of a dollar they will destroy their own self, for they do not know self. If the Black Woman knew herself she would not dare allow herself to be destroyed by the devil. We have to teach the Black Woman herself. We are responsible for her knowing herself. Will you help me to make known the self of the Black Man and Woman?

What is a Muslim? As I have foresaid, Allah, (God) in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praises are due forever, has taught me that all Black Men, Black Women and Black Children are Muslim by Nature. They are from the righteous. This is why the Bible teaches you under the name of Israel, that they will all be saved. Naturally the white man would not teach you that this is referring to the Black Slave, The Black Man in America. Also, in the Bible, you have the parable of the bones waking up and uniting together and assembling a frame of bones. Then the lesson teaches you that they all did live. The Holy Qur'an, a later book than the Bible, verifies the Bible parable by teaching you and me that Allah (God) gave life to all. He called them once and they all stood up. The Bible has it symbolically that when the loud trumpet sounded, they all will wake up. Black Brother, Black Sister, you are by nature one of the righteous but you have been robbed of your righteousness and made to live unrighteousness until now you will be whipped into submission, by divine will and power. You will be made to accept yourself. There is no limit to the nation of the Black Man. The Black Man will endure forever. God Himself is with us. Let us submit to Allah (God) and live forever. Peace be with you. The mercy of Allah (God) and his blessings to he that believes and accepts his own...Islam and the Muslims. Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, to you all.

The Allah Team, Internet Gods Controversy: True Islam Responds

2009-01-21T13:16:00.000-08:00

The Allah Team, Internet Gods Controversy: My Response
by True Islam

When the Allah Team first published our website in 1998 an immediate controversy was set off with certain members of the NGE, particularly from within the cyberspace community. We initially responded to two of the main issues for which we were condemned: (1) our choice of Universal Flags used on the front page of our website and (2) our insistence that Allah is a righteous Muslim (see http://www.allahteam.info/flag_controversy.htm and http://www.allahteam.info/is_allah_a_righteous_muslim.htm). Since then, however, we pretty much refrained from responding to the controversy because it had become so negative and divisive that only the devil could benefit from an escalation. So we held our peace for the last 10 years, choosing to simply continue doing what we have always done: building on the Black man being God.

With the recent publication of Wakeel Allah's long awaited book, "In the Name of Allah: A history of Clarence 13X and the Five Percenters" this controversy has come to a head. On the Nation of Gods and Earths discussion group (http://groups.myspace.com/thenationofgodsandearths) the Book and the Allah Team were again debated. Because of the nature of some of the claims made, we felt compelled to break our 10 year silence and respond to our critics. Below are two of my responses. Of course, I don't provide here all of the previous builds and follow-up responses; time and space simply does not permit. However, the whole thread can be found there entitled, "The New Book Intitled (sic) 'In the Name of Allah' by Wakeel Allah."
Presented below are the two responses I offered to that discussion.

Response Number One, March 27 2007:

Peace to the Gods and Earths.I enter this cipher as the god True Islam Allah of the Allah Team. So much has been said lately, here and elsewhere (by gods here), about us - much of it born from ignorance or something even more malicious – that I feel compelled to add on to correct some of the errors that have been spoken. The god Precise commented in a recent post, dated Mar 21, 2007 5:46 PM, "Personally I don't see what the big deal is about the wisdom occurring before knowledge."This sentiment is manifested a lot lately, especially where myself, Wakeel Allah, or the Allah Team is concerned. I have never before witnessed so many reputed G.O.D's taking as their religious practice "wisdom before knowledge." But this is precisely (no pun intended) the case.DRE, when we saw you in D.C. during the Million Man March, we extended to you our hand in brotherhood. You accepted it then. You were much more humble in person than is your internet persona. When we saw you at the Show and Prove (I wasn't there, but Wakeel Allah and Understanding Allah were), again we reached out to you as our brother, and again the spirit (current) you displayed was much more humble and peaceable. However, when I personally reached out to you as my brother via Myspace you seem to have rejected my extended hand. And now you are online articulating great errors regarding your brothers. I ask myself why?Over on Farrakhan Factor, your said DRE, "The brother known as True Islam is NOT in the Nation of Gods and Earths, he is a registered muslim in the Nation of Islam." I am indeed a registered Muslim in the Nation of Islam, under the leadership of the Hon. Louis Farrakhan. I registered in 1992. You are also correct in that I am not, nor did I ever represent myself as being in "your" internet nation of gods and earths. You know this DRE because I pointed that out to you personally on Seventh Fam Message board years ago. I am in the Five Percent Nation of Islam. Between 1990 and May of 1992, I, Wakeel, and other gods in our cipher put the Five Percent Nation in Atlanta on the map. When you refer to 'Allah's Garden' you are paying honor to our work, for we gave Atlanta that name in 1991. Newsweek Magazine in 1992 mentioned the Five Percenters of Atlanta because of the work we put in on behalf of this nation. Everyone on this discussion board who was in Atlanta between 1990 and 1994 know of what I speak, and know it to be absolutely true. Our work there is a matter of public record. When I registered in the mosque, I never stopped being a Five Percenter. Who is the Five Percent in this poor part of the planet earth? I never stopped teaching that the Black Man is God. I beg your pardon. I never heard of such! I have been showing and proving that the Black Man is God for 16 years now. Are you not familiar, DRE, with the Book of God: An Encyclopedia of Proof that the Black Man is God? Are you unfamiliar with www.theblackgod.com? God Precise, you question whether we are true and living gods? Our works, which are a matter of public record, testify of us. What, because we made the personal choice to join the FOI, the military training of men who belong to Islam, and elevate the manner of our work, you would dare try to disqualify us as true and living gods? As if you had that authority! The Qur'an says, "What, Have you no sense at all?" You said DRE, "You can't be in the Nation of Gods and Earths AND a registered muslim in the Nation of Islam. Come to a Universal Parliament talking that bull$h!t. I know Wakeel and True Islam, saw Wakeel 2 years ago AT A SHOW AND PROVE, and yet, they and know not to come up on the SQUARE dropping some contradictory bull$h!t like that."I beg your pardon!!! Did you think, DRE, we weren't reading your posts? On the contrary, IT WAS YOU WHO CAME DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU ENCOUNTERED US. We have never stepped off of our square. We don't fear you and you know it. We don't fear any one enough to step off of our square. We proved that in Allah's Garden and Now Why when confronted by elder gods. Every where we go we teach what we teach. Love it or hate it.I cant be a registered Muslim and be in your Nation if I happened to want to? Why not? I can be a Buddhist, a womanizer, a drunk, a thief, but I cant be a Muslim (i.e. a righteous person) and be in your nation? I read a bulletin from a local leader in your internet nation of gods and earths announcing how many women from Myspace he had slept with. If I was a womanizing abuser of Earth I could join your nation and acquire a leadership position, but if I discipline my life by willingly subjecting myself to a Restrictive Law that will refine my behavior, I am not welcome in your nation. I can smoke, drink, and be destructive in the community and I will be accepted by you, but I cant seek structure, discipline, and organized righteousness? What the hell kind of nation do you pretend to run? But we know you don't represent the broader nation of Gods and Earths. At the school we get support. Now you and Allah Jihad want to diss the elders at the school? That's irony.
We, the Allah Team, collectively or individually, have never encouraged gods to leave the NGE and join the Mosque. DRE, you lie, plain and simple. We have never advocated the acceptance of Min. Farrakhan and his administration as leaders of the NGE, the Five Percent Nation, or otherwise. Prove your slanderous charge DRE or shut up with it. We were approached in 1997 by a national official in the NOI with the request that we help get the word out that the Min. wanted to reach out to his family in the Five Percent. What black man or woman who has a genuine desire to see our people rise would object to a Unity meeting? Is not unity in the community desperately needed? Why do you think, over the last ten years, neither I nor Wakeel have responded to the hate that has been spread on the internet against us? Certainly you don't really think it was because we fear you? It is because we never wanted to contribute to the divisiveness. Enough is enough, however. The record must be set straight.On Mar 23, 2007 8:18 AM the god Supreme Scientist posted this comment regarding the Allah Team: "That's just it and that's the biggest issue I have with those people and those 'type' of people. That is, you have a bunch of PSEUDOscientists running around trying to use the same language as real scientists, and it confuses people rather than borning "peace." I'd have a lot more respect for those people if they would just really practice their "accept your own and be yourself" philosophy, be Muslims, stop using Allah's Nation's magnetic as a shield"A dichotomy is here made between "pseudoscientists, " i.e. the Allah Team, and "real" scientists, presumably Supreme Scientist himself. Supreme Scientist, I remember in 1998-9, when we had the discussion board up at allahteam.com. I posted a build on the Mother Ship and you posted a response to it on our message board. You disagreed with me (no surprise there). I was so honored by your post and excited about the opportunity to build/destroy with you. I responded to your post, but then never heard from you again. I lamented the fact that our intellectual dance was so brief. I hope we can do it again someday soon (see below).What evidence, Supreme Scientist, do you offer to justify your qualification as 'real scientist' and what evidence do you offer disqualifying me (I assume I was your main target) as "peusdoscientist"? I read Classical Arabic, Biblical Hebrew, French and German. I do my research in these languages. My third year as a grad-student I wrote an article proving that the god of early Sunni Islam was a man and that article was published in the flag-ship peer-reviewed journal of the field, the International Journal of Middle East Studies. That article is now cited as the reference of the subject. Currently I have an article forthcoming in the Harvard Theological Review, the flag-ship peer-reviewed journal of biblical/theological studies; my article is on the Jewish secret of the Black God. I received from the Department of North African and Middle East Studies at the University of Michigan (the second of 162 ranked public universities) the Great Books of Islam Award because of my scholarly work. I received that twice. I chaired the theology panel at the First World Congress of Middle East Studies in Mainz Germany in 2002. Over 2000 scholars from all over the world were there. A 'psuedoscientist' you say? Im recognized by the scholarly community, and by the Black community (are you too unfamiliar with my works other than 'Is Allah a Righteous Muslim?'). Who recognizes your scholarship or scientific expertise? What do you offer, Supreme Scientist, as evidence that you are a 'real scientist' ? Your work, "Out of Doors"? Are you serious? Make no mistake about it, I am very fond of that work. I am honored to have inspired so much effort. And I honestly feel that it is the greatest, most sophisticated piece of G.O.D. rhetorical persuasion I have read. Great rhetoric yes, but scholarship/science? What definition of science are you working with god? This is your evidence? Lets keep this shit real.It has been brought to my attention that you put the word out, Supreme Scientist, that if ever we, the Allah Team, were in Milwaukee you were going to step to us and question us 'face to face'. Well, let us do you one better. Since you, Precise, DRE and others have publicly stated how 'ridiculous' it is for me to advocate belief in the Mother Ship, and since I still have fond memories Supreme Scientist of our brief dance over this issue years ago, we (the Allah Team) are prepared to travel to Milwaukee to discuss this issue publicly. You, I and the Mother ship (or not). Is it ridiculous to believe when that belief is supported by overwhelming empirical evidence? OR is it ridiculous to disbelieve in the face of this overwhelming empirical evidence? Lets debate the subject. No internet debate. The internet is like the curtain behind which the Wizard of OZ sat. Take away the curtain so we can see whose argument is really made of what. You can contact us through www.theblackgod.com or me directly at truislam@yahoo.com to discuss details.In spite of what my tone here may suggest, I and the Allah Team sincerely seek unity with gods regardless of their self-style wisdom (oh, have we forgotten about that?). We would prefer unity with the NGE and its 'leaders'. Surely we can agree to disagree without being disagreeable. DRE, will you delete this post? Will you bar me from posting over here and cleaning up the mess you have made in our name? OR will you stand on your square and build and/or destroy? We shall see.Your Brother regardless

Response Number Two, March 29 2007:

Peace to the Gods and Earths. I whole-heartedly support those calls for a cessation of (apparent) hostilities. Neither myself, Wakeel nor anyone else in our circle have personal beefs with anyone we have entered a discussion with here. For 10 years now we have, collectively and individually, been attacked on various discussion boards. We refrained from responding in kind. We were not proud of the fact that standing on our own square has caused division and so much ill-will. We know that only the devil can benefit from our division. So we held our tongue. Remember, we aggressed no one; all we did was teach, and then defend, our understanding, for which we were anathematized. However we would not, and will not, compromise our principles. We do, though, prefer an agreement to disagree without being so damn disagreeable. Every time we have encountered those who declared themselves our enemies, DRE and others, we have shown love. Not out of fear; out of a genuine belief that as Black people we are all family regardless of differing understandings.

I don't offer this follow-up to prolong the 'argument' or escalate hostilities. I offer it because, well, we all Gods in here (and Earths), emotional claims to the contrary notwithstanding. The only way peace has a chance of prevailing is by clearing up the confusion as it relates to us. There are therefore a few statements made that I must address before I exit this discussion.

The god Precise said: "I personally have no issue with positive people in said nations other than The Nation of Gods and Earths. My issue is with folks who don't know what they want be a part of or represent."

We have never equivocated: We are the Five Percent Nation of Islam. We never represented ourselves as the NGE. Check all of our literature. We understand the evolution of that name and what accompanied the name change. Wakeel's book lays out and documents the history. You say our teachings are inconsistent with yours? Well, yes they absolutely are on some fundamental points. No, Supreme Scientists we don't "want us to think that we are all the same." We are not the same. Thus we have never represented ourselves as spokespersons for the NGE. We are the Five Percent. Who is the Five Percent in this poor part of the planet earth? My degrees say:

"They are the poor, righteous Teachers, who do not believe in the teachings of the 10%, and are all-wise; and know who the Living God is; and Teach that the Living God is the Son of man, the supreme being, the (black man) of Asia; and Teach Freedom, Justice and Equality to all the human family of the planet Earth.
Otherwise known as Civilized People. Also is Muslim and Muslim Sons."

The God Ezact Mind, in my opinion, raised the only really relevant questions: "If Allah team are muslim, do they teach that the black man is God? do the advocate any devilishment? are they poison animal eaters?? or are they mentioned in the knowledge-equality degree in the 1-40?"
Who would deny that we teach that the Black Man is God? Who can charge us of advocating devilishment? Our teachings are public: www.allahteam.info; www.theblackgod.com; www.myspace.com/theblackgodd. Yet why all the hate? For what good or bad work are we stoned? Because we teach that Allah is a Muslim, which is a righteous person? Because we teach that as a wise and just king Allah makes laws and himself willing obeys those laws? We never attributed this teaching to the current Nation of God's and Earth's. I signed the 'Is Allah a Righteous Muslim?" build with "True Islam" not "NGE." In spite of the fact we are taking this truth of the Black Man being God to a whole new level we are hated because we say God is not just a man, but a righteous man? Well, keep hating. We will never stand down from that.

DRE said: "And the person that gave Allah's Garden it's name is Divine Nalej Allah, not y'all." That is an emphatic now cipher! I don't know who told you that. Divine Nalej was initially my student. He heard it from us. The name originated in a conversation Wakeel and I had in 1991. Wakeel was the first to suggest that Atlanta be called Allah's Garden. Now this isn't about "I did this first," but since we all claim being 'right and exact' as a principle we must indeed be right and exact.

Supreme Scientist said:

"You're (i.e. me) asking me to demonstrate on-line that I am a "real scientist?" What kind of sense does that make? You should really consider what you're asking me here. A"real" scientist uses the scientific method with consistency. The only so-called "evidence" you are going to get from me on-line are the conclusions I have drawn from using the scientific method. I really don't see why you have issue with me offering the A-Team are pseudo-scientists, because you know very well that manyof y'all fundamental teachings are RELIGIOUS in nature are not subject to theexamination of the tools and methods of science, and even contradict the consesusof most scientists. You even bringing up those THEOLOGICAL appendages reallysuggests that you don't even know what 'science' is. Scholarship is NOT science."

1.] One's employment of the scientific method is demonstrated in the literature they produce, which can indeed by posted on-line (duuhh). However, I am absolutely not suggesting that you demonstrate it on-line; I suggested a live debate where we can both have the opportunity to establish whether or not we are consistently employing the scientific method. More on this below.

2.] "You even bringing up those THEOLOGICAL appendages really suggests that you don't even know what 'science' is. Scholarship is NOT science." Are you serious?! You say scholarship is not science and then question whether I know what science is? Yet you are 'Supreme Scientist.' This is why names must be earned, not assumed. As Bro. Sincere pointed out, science comes from the Latin scio which means 'to know.' How does one acquire knowledge? By investigating phenomena, gathering observable, empirical, measurable evidence, subject to specific principles of reasoning, i.e. the scientific method. The method is not just employed in a physics laboratory. The method is employed when the phenomenon observed is history, literature, and even ideas. You say scholarship is not science? Well, speak for your self. I'm a trained historian of religion. I try always to employ the scientific method. But of course, I offered an opportunity for us to test each others claims.

But make no mistake about it: for me this is not about you Supreme Scientist, or DRE, or anyone else. It is about the 120+. IT is about the teachings of the Honorable Muhammad, my love for which has consumed the last 17 years of my life during which I have been on a mission to academically vindicate them. You say:

"You're a funny dude though. You want to come all the way to Milwaukee to debate me on whether the mothership exists?????? Don't you have better things to do with your time? I know I do. Why don't we publicly "debate" the veracity of the Loch Ness Monster sightings, the Illuminati, and supernatural weeping Virgin Mary Statues, too?? We can call the gang, rev up the Mystery Machine, and really make a day of it!! Get outta here.."
I am a single father of a seven year old girl and four year old boy; I am a month away from having to defending a multi-disciplinary, 400-page dissertation; no, I have nothing better to do than defend the teachings of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad bruh. That's what I do. That's why I live. Why don't we debate the Loch Ness Monster sightings, the Illuminati, and supernatural weeping Virgin Mary Statues? Because I have no interests in those; they are not a part of my teaching. But if you look hard enough I'm sure you will find some takers if it means that much to you.

"And to the Brother named True Islam...how can u ask the God Supreme Scientist what kind of science is he dealing with when the root of the word Science Comes from the latin Word To KNOW (I think I have answered this question-TI) How can u advocate Mother ships and such and even speak on Science? True Scientist don't advcate Beliefs only FACTS and from my understanding u Advocate a lot of BELIEFS."
What knowledge of my work undergirds your understanding of what I advocate.
Bro. Sincere? This is why I suggested the debate, to see whose belief or disbelief is actually buttressed by empirical data and justified by scientific methods. See the bottom line is this: you confess disbelief in something, we confess belief. Let us see whose belief/disbelief is justified by scientific methods. You are, after all, 'Supreme Scientist,' no?
The god C.B.S. said:

"The whole mothership thing. When it was shown by Divine Ruler and Supreme Understanding that physics doesn't support the mothership they cry 'your depending on the whiteman's science' comes out. Yet when they are asked to prove they are using the 'white man's documents.' Stop it. Science isn't white or black anyway. Science is science."

I don't know who the 'they' is you are talking about god. Neither DRE nor Supreme Understanding demonstrated anything to me, physically or otherwise. (DRE, what are you talking about in DC? I never in my life ran from a debate on this teaching!). Maybe I misplaced the offer. Should we hold the debate in North Carolina instead of Milwaukee? See, the point is, I am willing, anxious actually, to put up or shut up. For the love of this teaching I will give you the opportunity to publicly show me as a ridiculous, credulous religious idot, with the understanding that you must deal with however you end up looking when the dust settles and the smoke clears. I promise you C.B.S. you will never hear me 'cry' "your depending on the whiteman's science." I respect the white man's science. We will deal with the white man's science. I am saying, bring all your science and lets debate, in a civilized manner, the veracity of this claim by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad. I feel you C.B.S. when you say "Overall I don't 'waste time' though nowadays with debates that have already been played out." But this is a debate that has not yet occurred. All that has occurred is people talking about people. Lets have the debate and then move on. If not, then lets just respect each others right to see as we see.

About the History:

I respect your build C.B.S., born universal truth I must correct you when you say: "circa the mid 90's a lot of us had a huge intellectual 'debate' with the Allah Team online." The Allah Team website went up in 1998, not the mid-nineties. However, we put in work for the Five Percent Nation since the late 80's. Wakeel Allah was at Morehouse College then teaching that the Black Man is God. I joined him in 1990 and by 1991 Allah's Garden was on the map. We weren't studying the internet. Our work was in the streets, the parks, the college halls and dorms. Between 1990 and 1994 was when our work on behalf of the Five Percent was most intense. Our website was a late afterthought; a way to build in another arena using the devils tools. In other words, before the internet was, we were building.

A Muslim Agenda?

The god C.B.S. asked an important, if rhetorical question: "For the record, as a rhetorical question, how many people have you taught 120 degrees? Is anyone teaching anyone at the present moment. THAT is the way to deal with things that you see has wrong ideas in the atmosphere. Teach more babies."

Who still teaches 120 as the foundation? We do. We have never abandoned the degrees. It is good to hear the god advocating a return to the 120. However, must we be reminded whose words we are returning to? Master Fard Muhammad's and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's! Do we have a Muslim agenda? Every time anyone quotes the 120 you are advancing the Muslim agenda as laid down by the 'original' Muslims, Master Fard Muhammad and the Hon. Elijah Muhammad.

Ideally, we could all just get along. In my email reply to you DRE I told you that, even though you may see me as your philosophical enemy, I see you only as my brother. I meant that then; I mean it now. I don't know personally any of the gods, besides DRE, whom I have responded to. I have responded to your words, not to you. I don't know you. We have beef with no one here. If because our wisdom and understanding is different from yours we are to remain pariahs, that's unfortunate, but so be it.

Still your brother

What is the Allah Team?

What is the Allah Team?
By Wakeel Allah

Copyright ©2000

(excerpt from "Table talks with the Allah Team")

Q: What is the Allah Team?

A: I would first like to open in the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad and I bear witness that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad is his Messenger. I am most thankful to Allah and His Messenger for raising up in our midst strong soldiers for our people such as Father Allah (Clarence 13X) who taught Islam to the babies—and for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan who is teaching Islam to the masses today. In their names do I greet the readers of this interview with the universal greetings of the Five Percent Nation of Islam, Peace! Peace to the Gods. Peace to the Earths.

First of all let me say that I thank you for your question because it is a very important one. We need to bring about an understanding as to who and what exactly is the Allah Team
so that the people will not misunderstand who we are. When the Allah Team first went public in May 98 the initial reaction by many Gods and Earths was one of curiosity. Many of them knew we were Five Percent so they began to study the information on our website. Since there was not an explanation as to who we were on our web site, many brothers and sisters began to speculate as to what we were. Of course this lead to guesses, assumptions and other speculations. I think that the last I heard was that brothers were calling us a "Nation." So it is imperative that we clear up this misunderstanding. We would like to set that record straight—the Allah Team is definitely not a nation, born universal truth (but) we are in the Five Percent Nation of Islam.

Allow me to clarify. Our lessons teach us that social equality is to advocate a group or a society of men together for a common cause. This same lesson then says that equality is to be equal in everything. Well if you understand that, then you will understand the concept of the Allah Team. We are a society of men that have come together because we share a common cause. We desire to see our people free, justified and equal. As brothers in the Five Percent Nation of Islam we wanted to present ourselves with intelligence and dignity because at the time of the forming of the Allah Team there was such a negative stereotype about the Five Percent. And there still is a negative stereotype out there about the Five Percent Nation. We, the Allah Team would like to set out to combat that negative stereotype. The Media has not been so kind to us. The Media, Correctional Institutions and the Government authorities alike have labeled us (The Five Percent and/or Nation of Gods and Earths) as a gang. They say we are bunch of criminals. That we sell dope and rob people. They want to label us as a menace to society. We don't place the total blame on the Media or the Government because there are some misguided brothers who are lending credence either (knowingly or unknowingly) that what the media writes about us to be the truth. There are some of those amongst us who set out and do just what the enemy wants them to do—that is to commit crimes so that the enemy can point them out and say "see, we told you (the public) that they are all criminals." And we say this to our brothers— please don't fall for that old trick. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to us that the Devil desires to sift us as wheat. Think over that. And if you were to study it you would see that the peoples opinions about the (5% and/or NGE) are being formed and shaped by these false allegations of us being a gang. It is also unfortunate that some of their negative opinions were formed directly by the interaction they had with people who claimed to be (5%NOI and/or NGE) who were not living out our lessons of righteousness. Don't get me wrong—we're not condemning brothers who have committed crimes because people will do things sometimes out of dire circumstances but we're not excusing it either and we definitely don't condone it. Nor do our lessons condone it.

Now, naturally the question comes to mind— well what are you all going to do about it? This is the same question that we who are now on the Allah Team face ourselves. We already have been given an assignment from our Father Allah (Clarence 13X) who said it openly and publicly that his desire was to stop crime. He said he was going to stop crime. Now, Father Allah (Clarence 13X) is not here today, but we who are the Five Percenters are here. And if you are the Son of the Father then set out to make his (Allah) word bond. Now just how do we do that? In our lessons Master Fard Muhammad asked us the question, will you set up home and wait for a mystery god? And of course the Honorable Elijah Muhammad answered, "No." And of course the answer is no. We recognize that God is within us, around us, behind us, in front of us and in fact is us. So we decided to do something about the situation.

The public is not familiar with the true teachings of the Five Percent Nation of Islam. The founder of the Five Percent (Clarence 13X) intended to teach and train the youth in order to make us honest and productive citizens in society. He emphasized that we should always remain gainfully employed and that we should seek an education. There are many Five Percenters who have done just that. The task we had was to assemble some of these brothers together to form a united front. So we decided to form a team for Allah. We call it the Allah Team. Since we had a predetermined idea to properly educate and correct these errors we had to ensure that everyone on the team had to be healthy, strong and good breeders. So what we did was first put the word out to some of the positive gods here in Allah's Garden (Atlanta, GA). We made knowledge born that we were going to form a team that would be like a task force and the task in front of us was to be who we say we are—God. Many are called and few are chosen, and those who are chosen, choose themselves. All praises is due to Allah. And I must say that we have a team of Black Men who are dedicated to the mission of saving self and saving others. We are still in the pursuit of looking for more positive gods to help us in our righteous efforts. So if you are the said person of that ability and would to use your mind, body and soul to make a positive change in the right direction—contact the Allah Team.
The Allah Team is not one-dimensional—by that I mean we take on various roles and responsibilities. We are teachers, scholars, soldiers, counselors, organizers, activists, scientists and most important of all, we are your righteous brothers. Another thing I would like to add is that the Allah Team is not some type of an "elite" society in the Five Percent who think that they are better than their brothers and sisters in the Five Percent. That would be foolish and silly on our part. In fact, we are a society who labors on behalf of our brothers and sisters in the Five Percent— so in order to serve your people you must be a humble person and have humility. Now, that doesn't mean to be soft or a punk because there are no punks in Islam. It's only saying as the Bible says, "be humble as a dove, yet wise as a serpent." However, We do recognize the potential greatness in the Allah Team and I personally am proud to be a part of this special unit of intelligent Black Men. I just hope that the 5% community will see us for who we are and embrace their brothers in peace. The final note is that I think the righteous efforts of any Black Association should be applauded by the Black Community. The same goes for the (5% NGE). We should learn to build with positive and destroy the negative. The Allah Team is positive brothers for our Nation.

Understanding The 85%
By The Youth of the ALLAH Team

Khaliq Muhammad, Hashim Divine Allah, Justice Universal Allah and El-Aziz.

Achieving significant understanding of the "lost sheep", the Eighty-Five Percenters (the uncivilized people, who are easily led in the wrong direction, but hard to lead into the right direction) will require dedication, persistence, discipline and a humble demeanor. In this era of materialism, the youth of today are expected to achieve major things because of our fearlessness. The establishment is looking to the politicians who can be successful in relating to the youth, but not to better them. More so, they are looking to the politicians who can deceive the youth, and gain the vote of the young people. Correspondingly, Barack Obama became the first person of Asiatic descent to become the presumptive nominee of a major political party. In addition, Obama acknowledged his youthful image expressing his probable absence in politics saying "I wouldn't be here if, time and again, the torch had not been passed to a new generation" in a 2007 campaign speech.

In reality, the true and living gods of the Five Percent Nation (of poor righteous teachers, civilized people and is Muslims and Muslim sons) might find it difficult to civilize the eighty-five percenters who do not know Allah or their origin in the world. Do they even know their true nature? They have absolutely no knowledge of the beginning of the Adamic Peoples and the true nature of their enemies. If they received knowledge of self from the poor righteous teachers; could they go out and teach civilization to the people who they were similar to before they entered the cipher of the Five Percenters? While Satan manipulates the original people in the remainder of his reign, the 5% carry out their duty of borning Gods and Earths (bringing into existence mentally as well as physically) , and leading the uncivilized to civilization in a period of total chaos.

It seems that in the present, the best knower is understanding the degradation within the original nation in the wilderness of North America; the right and exact solution is being pondered by the poor righteous teachers of ciphers across Amerikkka. The elders of the five-percent community are exchanging understanding on the subject of Hip-Hop. How Hip-Hop was the voice of the righteous and how it was grafted from the original to produce savages among the original people. As the tone and concepts in Hip-Hop become more barbaric, the civilized people find it harder to civilize the people who do not know their origin in this world. This new primary "get money" focus is reasonable but the lack of substance and logic is most certainly not. The pioneers of this new age destroyed the foundation of original Hip-Hop and built a new foundation from the ground up, which we are seeing the results of. This foundation has bred ignorance, negligence, lack of sympathy, and self-hatred. The bricks of the new foundation have stimulated the children of the lost and found nation to disrespect themselves, their women (wisdoms) and their communities. Are we reaping the benefits of the art our elders created, or do the corporations secure the rights to our music and the majority of the benefit of our labor in the music industry.

Day-to-day the Eighty-Five Percenters contradict themselves. One minute a brother is expressing his dissatisfaction with the brutal treatment of the women (wisdoms), most often to manipulate them. The next minute he is assaulting them, insulting them and sexually harassing our women. Also the wisdoms insist on advocating ignorance by revealing the majority of their beauty to the world of Satan, and the devils who is 100% wicked and is satisfied seeing the Asiatic wisdoms (women) consciously humiliate themselves and the Asiatic men cast down judgment to the women because of lack of understanding and love. In this generation the original man would rather take advantage of self-esteem issues of the wisdoms than help correct the savagery displayed and civilize our lost and found mother of civilization in the wilderness.

When the Honorable Elijah Muhammad began his mission of giving the Knowledge of Self to his people, he would often give an analogy, using percentages, of the three categories of people that everyone fit in. These three categories of people were broken down as the Eighty-Five Percent, the Ten Percent, and the Five Percent. The Eighty-Five Percent are obviously the majority of the population, and are those people without the knowledge of themselves. The remaining fifteen percent are those with the knowledge of self, but that is all they have in common. The Ten Percent used their knowledge to manipulate the Eighty-Five Percent. The Five Percent had, and still does have, the goal of bringing the Eighty-Five Percent into the Knowledge of Self, so that they can no longer be used and abused by the Ten Percent.

In order to be successful in this endeavor, the Five Percent must be composed of individuals who possess a strong conviction for wanting to share the truth with others. They must keep and maintain the goal of "saving the babies (youth)". If receptive to the Knowledge of Self, as taught by the Five Percent Nation, the possibilities for the youth are limitless. The "establishment", who the Honorable Elijah Muhammad referred to as the Ten Percent, are constantly pondering new ideas as to how they can keep the young minds of today focused on mundane issues. Thereby, keeping them away from the Knowledge of Self.

A Dilemma, I knowledge in the distinction between the civilized people and the uncivilized is that the majority of the Five-Percenters refer to themselves as Gods (Allahs) or Queens (Earths, Wisdoms). The titles differentiate in gender. These self-imposed titles molds us into a people who are responsible for our actions (deeds), who strive for righteousness and ultimately God's will whatever it may be. On the other hand, I knowledge that most of the Eighty-Five Percenters I come into contact with during debates refer to themselves as all sinners in God's eyes. When In actuality they do not even know, truly who God is. If you refer to yourselves as sinners, that adds on to a product of sin, in behavior and thought, throughout your life. If we are all sinners in God's eyes, what is the purpose of our existence? Does it add up or have you been taught this misconception since you were old enough to speak. These Eighty-Five Percenters believe in that which they cannot see, feel or hear etc.

The belief of in an un-anthropomorphic mystery god contradicts our five senses. If God is not a material-being here on earth, how have we come to believe in it? The five senses are characteristics of a material-being. If God WAS a mystery god, it was most definitely not be able to hold a conversation with a material-being, correct? Well I apologize if my knowledge and understanding shatters your current beliefs but God did speak to Jesus (Isa)."Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (John 10:34)".God is in English in its plural form, meaning more than one. This God was not a mystery/spook; he was a human-being because we know that non-living things and or spirit cannot talk. The sound of speech arises from flesh. When saying "your" Jesus was denoting the elder God with supreme knowledge, understanding and wisdom in this chapter. Both of the men in the direct quote were Gods, Jesus (Isa) was an original man of Asiatic descent (maker, owner, cream of the planet earth, father of civilization, God of the universe) and so was the elder God he was communicating with.

In Genesis I of the King James Version of the Bible its states "In The beginning God created the heaven and the earth". Created derives from the Latin word "creare" which means to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes. Being is a living thing that possesses a state of existence or an object that has existence in the physical realm, so if you call God, the Supreme-Being, you're subconsciously describing a God here on earth who is a supreme living thing.

When trying to understand those 'who are the naive masses, mentally deaf, dumb, and blind to the truth about themselves and the world in which they live' (85%ers), one must understand how they arrived in that particular state of ignorance. One must over stand those 'who understand much of the truth but use it to their advantage to keep the 85% under their control through religion, politics, entertainment, economics, and other methods' (10%ers). If we, 'who are the enlightened divine beings, having repossessed knowledge of the truth regarding the foundations of life and of oneself, and seek to punitively liberate the 85% through education' (5%). We must ultimately strive to understand them and must be knowledgeable about clear means of communication, meaning that we must be able to come amongst them and be easily understood simply speaking of knowledge, wisdom, understanding which borns civilized people. Far too many Five-Percenters don't speak the "language" of the 85%, and this only widens the gap between us and disables dialogue. In order to understand the 85% we must not underestimate the strength of the ropes that bind our lost brethren or the messages sent to them by the devil of Eu-Rope.

Furthermore, let us not forget the 9th degree of the 1-40. When I was suffering from the triple stages of darkness, I did not know why anything was what it was or what caused it to be; I took what the 10% taught at face value. I was convinced that a mystery god controlled everything. Believing in a mystery god subconsciously lowers the self-esteem of the 85% and tricks them into worshiping Satan and his made-devils (Assimilation, imitation of Caucasians). Not knowing my true self (GOD), I didn't take responsibility or even credit, for what I did or accomplished and also sought what the bloodsuckers possessed (so-called American Dream). In addition, when you don't possess knowledge of self, you give praise to almost everything except yourself. You love the devil because he gives you nothing. You do not want at all to be anything affiliated with the Original Family (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow). You let the devil define what Black is; from the food you eat (Soul Food A.K.A Slave Food) to what you watch on television (BET, MTV, etc. all of which are entirely owned by your enemy).

The Eighty-Five Percenters obviously are backwards but the challenge of Five-Percenters are presented with is how to return them to knowledge of themselves and their nature (peace). We continuously warn them of the possible results of their ignorance actions, so their blood will not be on our hands. Now, no matter their behavioral and ignorant actions our duty is to teach them civilization, if we do not, the right and exact punishment is death. Love is the highest elevation of understanding among all the original people. Soon as a whole the poor teachers who compose the five-percent of people in this world will return their brother to civilization. "Man know thy self, and thou shall know the Gods" – Ancient Egyptian Proverb.
In conclusion, we must approach this challenge (Understanding the 85%) as the scientists, we are. Too often, I find that as knowledgeable Five-Percenters we do not get as active as we should be; we only build amongst ourselves which solves nothing.

We need to begin resurrecting our own (Original Family) now from online builds, to blocks, to corners, to parks and everywhere else where we are as the few poor righteous teachers. I have yet to see any 5% building in our streets, where knowledge is in demand. While teaching civilization in the inner-city or rural areas I suggest that we follow the steps of the scientific method, as we are in fact scientists. The purpose of the scientific method is to study the cause and effect relationship in nature. I cannot think of a more appropriate method for understanding the Eighty-Five Percenters and bringing them to civilization. By highlighting the negative in their lives produced by cause and effect, we can show them a path that could actually benefit them and their immediate family; which is the path to righteousness.

There are also Five-Percenters that need to step down from their pedestals. It doesn't matter how much more knowledge that you have, we are all the same in essence. Believing that you are better than your brother whether he is a Five-Percenter or an Eighty-Five Percenter is not equality, the 6th degree of Supreme Mathematics.
