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

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

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
True Islam

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?

(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

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.
