The Evolutionary Process pt1

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful,
If we travel on the wheel of time, almighty Allah always raises up prophets and messengers. Why? It is because man has strayed away from the right path-his natural path. By nature, man and woman is designed to be in complete submission to the will of Allah. However, throughout time, man has been falling short of this glorious task. Complete submission to the will of Allah is synonymous with perfection. Since Allah's will is perfect, submission to it, makes one perfect. Whomever we submit to, we begin to take not their coloring- their perceptions, thoughts, ideas, and often even their motives. Therefore the quran says

"We take Allah's color, and who is better than Allah at coloring, and we are His worshippers."

However, the question remains HOW or WHERE does the desire for man to do contrary to Allah's will come from?

It comes from imperfection. When The Originator created Himself, there was imperfection within Himself. How do we know? Because His creation is not perfect. Study the Earth, the Sun, the moon, the stars, or even ourselves. None of these celestial bodies, called planets, are perfectly circular-and as we know a circle represents 360 degrees. To go further, try to draw a perfect circle freehanded. You can't! This is just a small glimpse into the larger picture. Imperfection and perfection, polar opposites which dwell succinctly inside us all.



Well the, how do we attain this perfection? Or how do we thwart the relative power of imperfection?

*I interrupt here to note that although imperfection was there in the beginning, imperfection can be and has been overcome by the eternal Allah through a PROCESS of constant evolution.*

In Surah 70 of the Holy Quran, Allah is called, "the Lord of the Ways of Ascent." Allah overcame imperfection and attained to perfection( see study guide 11). Therefore, He is the only one able to guide us to this glorious stage. He is the Master, Controller, Grower, and Evolver of us as we ascend toward perfection. Lord of the Ways of Ascent. What are these ways or methods by which we can ascend? Prayer, Fasting, Charity, Pilgrimage, and Jihad, all of which contain a vital element of Struggle. Allah MASTERED ALL of these principles of action as He called Himself into existence. In so doing, he expedites the process so that we may more quickly become like Him. In all of this, there is a great measure of suffering.

Well then, how does Allah raise His vicegerent, Man, up into this exalted state?

"ALLAH (GOD) SHARES HIMSELF WITH HUMAN BEINGS. HOWEVER, WHEN GOD SHARES HIMSELF WITH US, HE GIVES US A DIFFICULTY TO OVERCOME. WE HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE LIFE FORCE THAT IS WITHIN US, WHICH IS THE ONLY FORCE THERE IS, THERE IS NO OTHER FORCE BUT GOD. THERE IS BUT ONE LIFE THAT IS GIVEN TO US AND THAT IS DIVINE LIFE.
HOLY QUR'AN READING: 'AND WHEN THY LORD SAID TO THE ANGELS, I AM GOING TO PLACE A RULER IN THE EARTH, THEY SAID, WILT THOU PLACE IN IT SUCH AS MAKE MISCHIEF IN IT AND SHED BLOOD? AND WE CELEBRATE THY PRAISE AND EXTOL THY HOLINESS. HE SAID: SURELY I KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW NOT."- Study Guide 10, the God within

In the same study guide, we learn that the Earth is comparable to Man. The waters like mans blood. The rocks like mans bones. The trees like mans skin. But Allah declares He is going to place a ruler in the Earth. He is going to place a ruler in the minds of a group of men who would in turn rule the Earth. But, the angels ask what would he do of positive. Allah simply knows what they don't. Allah is placing a man, who would sculpt a people.



The book of genesis opens, god created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void. Anytime, a people lack form and are void someone must come to sculpt or shape that people. Allah placed a ruler in the Earth to do just this, even though the ruler did not know it. He uses this brutal ruler to give the people the right structure, form, or foundational spirit that they can withstand a greater weight at a latter time.

The angels that questioned Allah thought, even if just for a second, that Allah may have been making a mistake. Allah took one from the line of angels or scientist ,by the name of Shabazz, and had him to take us and prepare us to visit the pit of hell. For we would later rise to the heights of heaven. In study guide 10 the minister writes, "It is only through our lowest state that he may lift us up." Even when we think we know something, Allah will show us our ignorance and use us to fulfill His ETERNAL plan by revealing eternal truths through contemporary messengers that become catalyst for everlasting change.

Dr. King once said something very very profound: "Undeserved suffering is redemptive."

Can the Woman Build Human Potential

This is a guest blog by a Sister Believer whom I absolutely admire and consider a very good friend. The Believer's are friends of one another, if you didn't know :). In any event, She's a Sis that I never have a problem pointing to when asked about the future of the Nation, and the future of Allah's chosen People. ENJOY ! ! !

A guest Blog By Sister Khadijah Mahasin Baha Muhammad...

With the woman being the direct descendant of All Mighty God Allah, in her ability to create as God creates is her ability to build Human Potential….. With that being said, this article is dedicated to our very own Sister Student National M.G.T. & G.C.C. Captain Sandy Muhammad.

Sister Captain Sandy, in her brilliance, has given the Women of the Nation of Islam the chance to come to Allah (God) with the Mind of God. In my eyes, she is the Mercy given to us from God and has begun to, as our lessons teach us, “lay the Pressure Upon their (the MGT) Minds of their many errors in the Past and Present, that they may see the Light and Walk therein.”

For myself personally, she has made me mindful of who I am and who’s I am and in her reminder, the feeling of aversion does not enter into my heart and the choice of straying away is not an option. What she has done is placed myself along with a Nation of Women on the path of righteousness….




In that Mercy, is the act of devotion that every nation is appointed with. We can only follow one, if we are wise women, with the knowledge to take this world from a world ruled by Satan to a world where there is only room for the righteous. Not to agree with the movement of this Nation is not to agree with God’s Plan. Our lessons teach us that Master Fard Muhammad can sit on top of the world and tell everyone that the Most beautiful Nation is in the wilderness of North America. In order for him to fulfill his prophecy with the black woman, we MUST allow our wonderful sister to bring that treasure buried under the sands of the desert to the top.

In the Maulana Muhammad Ali translation of the Holy Qur’an Surah 36:48, the question is asked, “When will this promise come to pass, if you are truthful? This promise will come to pass as long as we stay on the path Allah (God) is leading Sister Student Captain on. We are also taught in the Holy Qur’an that the opponents of truth are punished. On the day when man is judged will not be the time to ask to be averted from the fire you lit for yourselves because you are not following the path of righteousness. Footnote 2603 tells us that the light of truth would shine forth, but not without a grave misfortune to those who refuse to go forward, and this is a warning…. Need I say more?

Women were in need of spiritual and moral direction. Now that we have that direction, what will we do with it? We have been given the knowledge and wisdom to attain perfection, but what are we going to do with it?

The only way this can happen is for us to know our self worth and see that Allah did not leave us without yet another leader. He has left us with His Spiritual daughter, a Mary that will herself, Insha’Allah, along with the rest of the Women of God be the ones to give birth in the future to the Jesus, the Moses, the Muhammad’s, and other Prophets of the Bible and Holy Qur’an. We are able to now be the Women of Amran. She is guiding us with the prayer of Mary’s mother while Mary was in her womb and showing us the importance of staying under the charge of Zacharia, (The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan) and never again be women led astray by this worlds life, because through us, the old world order will be null and void.

In that pressure, stress is laid upon the Believers to no longer be comfortable with foolishness but to receive the Mercy that Allah has given us in Sister Captain Sandy. In her comes the first step to getting this nation back on the track only we as women can provide to our Nation. We are taught that a nation can rise no higher than the woman so we have to lay the foundation for the proper environment in order for Spiritual Development of God’s Nation to take place. That first step is Correction and the proper environment is the mind the gives birth to every man and woman in existence.

Sister Sandy is a reflection of God and is breathing the Spirit that God has filled her with into a nation of women that we may rise to eminence and never again look, speak, walk, act, weigh, or produce other than ourselves. In the church, they sing a song in the choir that says, “the Spirit of God is upon us” and if we desire to reflect that spirit in our everyday lives, we must begin to “see the Light and Walk therein.”

Allah, we are taught in the Holy Qur’an, gives true guidance to whom He pleases, and I am blessed to know that there is a sister among us that was given that guidance, and has shared it. The Holy Qur’an footnote 1610 says, “the man (or in this case the woman) who shuts his eyes to the Reminder leads a straitened life because he does not receive spiritual blessings. It is only a contended mind that brings ease and comfort to man, and contentment comes only through faith in God.” When we hear the words of our beautiful sister, who speaks with the Authority and Love, the Love of God comes through her voice and purifies the hearts of the ones listening. I am so blessed that I am a member of the Nation of Islam. I feel so worthy.

That is what is happening to the MGT & GCC class. Sister Sandy is grafting the Minds of the Women of God back into our original state which is righteous women that are direct descendants of All Mighty God Allah so that we may fulfill His prophecy which is to produce the New World Order. It has to come and can only come through the Woman if she has the Mind of God.

To my conclusion, the Holy Qur’an speaks of dead earth being raised to life. Praise be to Allah for her vision because without a vision a people shall perish and the MGT as a whole were beginning to perish… In the Holy Qur’an, in footnote 2110, it tells us what a good woman is. If we are striving to have a pure and unsoiled character, then it is time to see the Light and Walk therein…. The blessing Sister Student National Captain Sandy has given us is not only for sisters, but we are the ones it has been presented to at this time. We are the Mothers of Civilization, so if we are not civilized we are savages. That is NOT what Allah (God) intended for His women to be… We all want to be purified, be it from water or fire, the flesh will be rid of uncleanliness. So let us be mindful that the ones before us paid a price, the ones in our presence are paying a price, and the ones that will come after us will have to pay a price for all that we say we believe. If that price means the Gardens where I am able to walk therein, then the Spiritual Advancement I receive by following Sister Sandy is the reward I shall receive.
.
Surah 3:30 says as I close, “Say if you love Allah, follow me: Allah will love you, and grant you protection from your sins. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Being worthy enough to live among such a righteous example for the Women of God is indeed a blessing…..

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the women and men of the Nation of Islam.

Making The Word Flesh-A Brief Story of Grindin

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Allah is the creator of all things, the revealer of all truth, the Lord, nourisher, sustainer, and evolver of all things into their eventual perfection.



A Business is a project. A Business is a project that requires the personal involvement, effort, and work of concerned men to organize to achieve a measure of success. In the word Business the letter ‘i’ can be interchanged with the vowel ‘y’, making it “Busy-ness.” Business requires motion.

The first step toward the establishment of a Business is motion. The first form of motion is thought, which travels at 24 billion miles per second. The first thought that must come is the vision that we have. In his recent lecture titled, Put on the New Man, Minister Farrakhan gave a simple blueprint. He said,

“The ideal scene is composed of vision that has set a goal, and then a process, and a strategy, and tactics, and policy, and data to help us move toward that goal.”
The above are the key elements to the establishment of any business: Visison, Process, Strategy, Tactics, Policy, and Data! To further illustrate the process by which one can attain a state of busy-ness, the Minster continued,

“A nation of gods that have the intelligence, the skill, to say "Be." Organize their gifts, skills, and talents, and resources with a plan and bring what they envision into existence.”

If a man (business) TRULY desires success something more is required! Any business that expects to have true longevity must be attached to the source of longevity, Allah. “We were birthed into His Universe which is a manifestation of His mind.” The Universe is a manifestation of the mind of Allah. Our Busy-ness is the manifestation of Our minds. The spiritual always descends into physical form. Therefore, “You can tell the mind of a man by the working of his hand.”

When establishing a Business, it is important to realize that through your and my intimate relationship with our Lord, we are most able to achieve success. In Study Guide #4 by Minister Louis Farrakhan he writes, in regards to our connection to the Lord of the way of Ascent- Allah. He states, “Lord of the ways of Ascent indicates that Allah (God), the Author of all existence, has given to the whole creation its means of nourishment and has even ordained for every single one of us, a sphere of capacity. Within that sphere, He has already provided us the means or ways by which each of us attains to our goal of perfection in that which He has given us.” Anything we wish to accomplish, business related or otherwise, it absolutely possible as long as we are connected to the Lord of the Ways of Ascent. Then He pre-provides the means, greatness, and mechanisms necessary to accomplish a task. Calling on him, by the way, does NOT excuse us from WORKING Ourselves! It simply puts us on the right course toward perfection.



When we make Allah (God) the true center of All Reality in our Personal live, then we begin to see beneficial results later on. This is the glue that sticks the key principle to each other thereby creating a good, positive, and peaceful cohesion upon which Business’ lay.

All of the above can only be considered to be theoretical until it is actually applied. I along with some classmates put the theory to practice! During my junior year in higschool, I along with my high school classmates was able to open a student ran coffee shop. We originated the idea in our Principles of Business class, which we had planned to channel our natural entrepreneurial abilities by opening a Business. This is the first step, THOUGHT. Unbeknown to us then, we would eventually open a full-service coffee shop to our fellow students, staff, and faculty. This is the Second Principle, VISION. We began to brainstorm and work on small steps toward creating our own coffee shop. Early on, the matter of financing had created doubts for us. At that time we were uncertain how to pay for such a project. Fortunately, as we were inviting young people to hear Minster Farrakhan’s “Justifiable Homicide” lecture series, we encountered a flyer offering up to $5,000 for youth who were interested in starting a business. Immediately, we hurriedly continued creating a Business plan to apply for the grant albeit the deadline was three days away at that time. Our application was accepted and we were granted the “free” money, which allowed us to jumpstart our Business. Here, we began taking our vision and making a manifest reality. To complete our project we had to finish our Business Plan, which included the following skills as, mentioned before: Vision, Process, Strategy, Tactics, Policy, and Data.




Be sure to follow your vision and then call on the author of your vision. Never let opposition become a deterrent. If we want to see a new reality, then we must build it OURSLEVES!

The Shabazzian Cycle: In the Shadow of Time

How Shabazz was right and What does he teach Us?


Throughout time, we constantly see cases of an individual or group of individuals who have an idea. But this idea is rejected by those who rule or by the people. It seems, quite unfortunately, that there is a sort of revolving door with this. The individual is right; the individual’s rightness is denied; the individual rebels. Over and Over again! It’s time to stop the revolving door!

Shabazz had an idea to make a people stronger than nature. He presented this idea to the Holy and Wise scientist of Islam (The Order of Melchiesidek) and they agreed that Shabazz’s idea was not useful and would not be followed. However, Shabazz’s idea was Right and necessary in the more grandeur scheme. If he had not went through with His idea we would NOT have survived slavery and the coming of Allah IN the Person of Master Fard Muhammad would have been inhibited.

Shabazz’s rebellion was wrong. But his idea was Right! His idea served a purpose that he may have seen that the Scientist did not see.



Mary desired a good man (Joseph) and a great child. Zacharias did not ‘like’ or agree with Mary’s idea for a mate because He did not meet Zacharias’ standards. Nonetheless, Mary’s idea for a man was perfectly met by Zacharias. We know this today because they, although in rebellion to the law of the time, gave birth to a mighty son.

Shabazz’s idea was right but the elders of that cycle did not see the Scope of Time. They could only see 25,000 years in advance. Zacherias (I may be beyond MY Scope here! Lol) may not have seen the future of a relationship between Mary and Joseph. He may not have seen the idea within the Scope of Time.

Shabazz’s idea was NECESSARY and is the reason we, the Blackman of America survived!

Whenever we are evaluating ideas, we must try to look at the idea within the lens and scope of time!

The Broader Picture:

“Whenever a man shows up and he comes up with something that is beneficial to some with a view of making it beneficial to all, that's not an ordinary man. I want you to hear this. See, common man always wants something for himself. That's why all common ideas die…When a man comes with an idea that he tells you is not for some but it is for all. I wish I could write on a board but I can't. But just look at the word ALL, and the word ALLAH. See when a man comes with an idea that is good for all, he comes from ALL, he comes from ALLAH. The idea is in him, but it's for all.” ~ Minister Louis Farrakhan, Put on the New Man

More Specifically:
When new ideas are presented, we must be wise enough to examine them in the fuller context. We must view them in the scope of time. When Youth present new ideas, elders MUST be willing to examine these ideas within the scope of time! For “In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.”

Reader Feedback: What can be done to reverse the trend?

*Disclaimer: REBELLION IS NEVER GOOD. Don’t be irrational and think that just because YOU think something is right, you should rebel. Especially in this hour when we are divinely guided!

The Science of Love

Remix! :D

Love….Love….Love…

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

WOW! According to the scriptures there is a direct correlation between knowing God and Love. When one Knows God, they also Know love. In other words, “Know God: Know Love. No God: no Love.”

To know god, One must love. Why?

“Knowledge is the result of learning and is a force or energy that makes its bearer accomplish or overcome obstacles, barriers, and resistance (Message to the Blackman, pg 41, last Paragraph).”

Learning is the result of EXPERIENCE. (Ex. If I claim to know how to drive (after reading the Drivers Ed Manual), but I have never driven one, do I REALLY know how to drive? NO. I can declare I’ve learned how to drive only after actually driving.)

When we EXPERIENCE Divine Love, we are LEARNING the reality of God.

This universe is a manifestation of the magnitude of His Love. Allah WILLED the universe into existence. The root of the will is Love.



“But there is an emotional force that gives direction to Will. And the emotional force—which is the creative force upon which the entire Universe is constructed—is Love. And it is out of this awesome power of Love that the Will springs up; it springs up out of this emotion, and it is directed and guided by that emotion (click here to read).”

How do measure love? How do we KNOW when we love is present in one’s heart and mind? A measurement is a mathematical computation…

God IS love. The nature of God is Islam. Islam is mathematics. Think and re-read. Substitute “is” for “=”. The Result is: God=Love and God's nature, Islam=Mathematics---The laws of mathematics teach us that congruencies are interchangeable. Mathematics further teaches us that if a=b and b=c then a=c. LOVE IS MATHEMATICAL.

The question that we must ask is how have we SHOWN our love?

True Love must be entrenched in the standard of love set by Allah himself. Allah SHOWED his love by coming to the Hells of North America Himself. Allah SHOWED His love by defying the pattern of simply sending a Messenger, but instead raising one up HIMSELF. Allah SHOWS His love everyday in his oft-repeated attribute of Beneficence and Mercy.

LOVE..LOVE..LOVE

Almighty God Allah constantly reminds us of his unlimited love as he sends us Messenger after messenger through the wheel of time. He Manifest his divine love by His Actions.

Lastly, I quote the Minister again :)

“When she meets the Spirit of God in a well made Man, She CANT help herself. I don't care how hard she is, you can soften her up”- How to Give Birth to a God, Part 2

“"Women Love Men who ARE Love. Who are Loving.”-How to Give Birth to a God, Part 2

Why? It is because the Spirit that Allah comes with is Love. And when a Man/Woman manifest this beautiful spirit, it naturally attracts the God within others.


LOVE…LOVE…LOVE!!!

1 Corinthians 13:1-3(I HIGHLY suggest reading this whole chapter) If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

Will Power: Allah in Man

WILL POWER:
ALLAH IN MAN
by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

[Editor’s note: The following text by Minister Louis Farrakhan is taken from Vol. 6, No. 3, February 15, 1997]]

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Our subject matter for discussion is titled, "The Will of God." Everything in creation is the manifestation of the Will of God. All of creation expresses the Attributes or Characteristics of this Mighty Being, the Originator of the Heavens and the Earth. But the Will of God is the Power behind the throne. The Will of God is the Power behind the Universe—its creation, its maintenance and its sustenance.

The Holy Qur’an constantly reminds us that Allah’s command is just "Be!" And it is. But this is not some spooky term such as "Abracadabra!" or "Open Sesame!" When Allah (God) says, "Be!", He summons the Power of His Own Being, His Creative Mind and Will, to bring about that which He Wills.

When Allah (God) says, "Be!", this is an expression of His Will. But it is more than just the expression of His Will, for when He says, "Be!", He arranges forces, resources, angels, people—according to a Plan—to bring about the fruition of His Will.

Allah’s Will never fails. There is no plan by any scholar or scientist, no power in the heavens above or in the earth beneath that can circumvent the Plan of Almighty God. In fact, the plans of the present world leaders were all taken into consideration. Before they were even a thought in the mind of their father, their plans were known. Their scheme was known. And Allah (God) took their plans into consideration. He places His Hand over their plan; He places His scheme over their scheme, so that even their wicked schemes help to bring about the fruition of His Will. That is a Mighty, Powerful Being we are dealing with. When He says, "Be!", it is.



What a wonderful thing, that Almighty God, Allah, chooses to share this Power with humanity! Think of that, Brothers and Sisters! Almighty God, Allah, Who has created everything by His Will, shares His Power with you and me! We, today, have the ability to will. We have the ability to plan, to organize and to bring into fruition our plans. We, too, can say "Be!", go to work, and it is.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us that the brain of man is "infinite." I want you to think of it—THE BRAIN OF MAN IS INFINITE. If the brain of man is infinite, then man can bring into existence whatever he conceives in his mind, the repository for Allah (God), the place for the God to dwell. God is infinite in the brain of man.

In the New Testament, Jesus says that he knocks and if we will open up to him, he will come in and sup with us. This does not mean that he is a visitor standing outside your door (although it could mean that, too), but just as you would open the door of your home to allow into your home one who is a friend, likewise, we should open the door of our ears, the door of our heart, the door of our mind, to let Almighty God, Allah, come in. For there He wishes to dwell, in the infinity of the brain of man.

The Will is the real power of Allah (God) in man. However, the Will must be buttressed, or supported, by Faith and by Knowledge. Let us look at Will and its meaning; Faith and its meaning; and Knowledge. Let us look at what Allah (God) has given us of His Will. And what do we have of Faith? What do we have of Knowledge to buttress and support the power of our own being?

"Will," according to Webster, is "the faculty of conscious and especially of deliberate action." There is no action that is not preceded by a conscious thought, planning and then the carrying of a plan into action. "Will" is the power of control that the mind has over its own action(s).

To be able to Will is to have a creative force within that actually can change the condition of our lives, the condition of our homes, the condition of our community, the condition of the Nation and the condition of the World.

But Will without Faith, Will without Knowledge, is power without direction. It is power that can be manipulated. It is power that can actually be used by a smart, crooked deceiver to make slaves of the totality of the human family. Therefore, all of us must be possessors of Knowledge and Faith.

Faith, of course, is "confidence or trust in a person or thing." Faith is having confidence in your own ability or in someone else’s ability. In the divine scheme of things, Faith is having confidence and trust in His Word—knowing that His Word never fails; His Plan never fails; His Will never fails. When we put our trust completely in Allah (God) and in His Word, we have the ability to see beyond our knowledge—for what we know is limited.

Faith can be as big as a mountain. Faith can be as big as the Universe itself. Regardless of what you know, you must have a greater Faith than your Knowledge, for your Knowledge is, of a surety, limited, no matter how much you know. But if your Faith in Allah (God) is great, then that Faith will lead you to greater and greater Knowledge.

We must be faithful men and women, but we must also be possessors of Knowledge. There are so many of our people who have a lot of Faith but very little Knowledge. We need both, Faith and Knowledge, to buttress and support the power of our being, which is our Will.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said nearly 1,400 years ago: "One who goes out in search of Knowledge is in the Path of God until he returns." Why did Prophet Muhammad make such an utterance? It is because when we go out in search of Knowledge, we should never return. For Knowledge is the path of Allah (God). And Knowledge, like Allah (God), is infinite. When you go out after Knowledge, never say, "I found it!" For when you have said you have found it, you have stopped searching. You have stopped seeking. When you stop searching, stop seeking, you reach a plateau of learning. That plateau leads to the death of your society; the death of your own power; your creative energy.

Unfortunately, this is what has happened to this world in which we presently live. Man has amassed a lot of Knowledge but, unfortunately, he believes that he has found it. And in finding it, he has lost it and is no longer in the path of Allah (God). So the Knowledge that he possesses leads his society to greater and more complex problems that his own Knowledge gives him neither the light, nor the ability to solve. This is when Allah (God) steps in, when our own Knowledge fails us.

Knowledge without Faith is like a ship without water. Can you imagine a ship without water? No wonder the people in the days of Noah laughed at him because he built a ship and there was no water. But Noah knew what the people did not know; he knew that water was, indeed, coming.

What about you with this tremendous skill in science, mathematics, physics, chemistry? Don’t you realize that you are, yet, a baby? You have a little bit of Knowledge and very little Faith in Allah (God). Consequently, your Knowledge takes you nowhere but to self-destruction. And so, beloved, each of us would want to develop the power of our own being; to use that power to better ourselves, ourfamilies, our community, our people, our Nation, the World. We must seek Knowledge and we must develop Faith. For it is Knowledge and Faith that buttress and support that great power of Allah (God) in man—man’s ability to Will.

The Will is protected and also sustained, not only by Faith, but also by our Attitude, which demonstrates the degree of our Faith. We cannot have a powerful Will and a weak Attitude. The Attitude that we have is for the protection of the Will. Change your Attitude and you might redirect your Will.

Attitude is "the manner, disposition, feeling, position" with which we regard a thing. It is a "tendency or orientation, especially of the mind." Think of these words. It is a "tendency" or "orientation" of the mind." In fact, Attitude can give you—or damage—your ability to perceive reality. Mood can color your perception. So we have all of these things that affect the Will, and, in fact, redirect the Will. Beloved, we must be careful of our Attitude.

Will is the Power, but Power must be guided. Guided by what? The Power of the Will must be guided by Knowledge. But there is an emotional force that gives direction to Will. And the emotional force—which is the creative force upon which the entire Universe is constructed—is Love. And it is out of this awesome power of Love that the Will springs up; it springs up out of this emotion, and it is directed and guided by that emotion. When you couple Will and Knowledge and Love, then you have a balanced individual whose Will is being used in a creative, constructive way, not in the way of destruction.

Let us take a look at the things that adversely affect the Power of Allah (God) within man. From the time that the baby comes into the world, we see a demonstration of Will. Mother is not teaching the child from "day one," yet the child accomplishes much in that first year of life. From what? From the Will.

The Will moves the child to grow and grow and grow. The first year is the strongest year of educational development. It learns more in the first year, and without a teacher!

The teaching comes from within. What does that tell us? That there is a power within every human being that can teach and direct. That power is connected to its Source. It can be a Source of comfort, guidance, protection and deliverance for every human being.

Thank you.

You don't know how happy I am to see people being made new.

I can't worship my fellow man. Thee alone do we worship and thine aid do we seek

Not surrender to a man…surrender to a principle, a new idea!

The moment we accept praise for what God has done, we start to lose it

All common ideas die!

The hereafter is unlimited progress...steadily marching upward

Look at the word all.. And look at the word ALLah

Yourself is great; but did you create yourself?#

To grow from where we are to where God wants us to be takes patience

All seeds don't germinate at the same rate of speed.

"God is not a sexist.. So you're God too

"Men have been crushed in this world

"How can you beat him down and love him at the same time"

We have to be careful of each others mind

We have to be careful of how we love each other"

Get back to how to eat to live

Manage yourself!!!

Soaking in the Word of Allah!

All Praise Be to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad!

All Praise be to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad!

The whole world has been in search of a Messiah. Muslims and Christians tend to believe that he came 2,000 years ago as Jesus, son of Mary. The Jews are a more theologically accurate in their belief that Jesus of 2,000 years ago was not the Messiah.
Before I continue its appropriate to quote Islamic Scholar A. Maudidi. He states, “If one takes a biased view of something and deliberately nourishes prejudice against it in his mind, then he can neither see any virtue in it nor can hear anything in its favor no can (he) open his heart to consider it dispassionately. This is the law of nature.”

If we want to find the Messiah we must examine the prerequisites to Messiahship. We must examine the function and role of a Messiah and THEN look for the man that would fulfill such roles.

"This Mild Looking Blackman is the MOST powerful Blackman in America"-Readers Digest

One of the first mentions of this Messiah or Son of Man is found in the Book of Psalms. “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him (Psalms 8:4)?" However, in 1896, Hans Lietzmann startled the theological world by stating that this phrase could not be found in the Aramaic language, which Jesus spoke. Is there any biblical evidence of this? ABSOLUTELY! Paul writes that Jesus was a man born out of due season (1 Corinthians 15:8). This means that Jesus of 2,000 years ago was born before it was time for the Messiah to come. Thus, when he was casting out devils, they were frustrated with his timing. “And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time (Matt 8:30)?” Even the devils that Jesus began to deal with knew that it was not time for the end that the Messiah is to bring. The bible teaches six days shall we labor and on the seventh day shall we rest (Ex 34:21) and a day is as a thousand years (2 Peter 3:8) bringing the devils rule to a total of 6,000 years. It is AFTER Satan’s rule is over that the promised Messiah is to make himself known since this Messiah is to crush the wicked.

Jesus of 2,000 years ago was a great man. But, he was not the Messiah that we’ve thought him to be. In an article entitled "Who Do Men Say that I Am?" (The Humanist Magazine May/June 1991) writes:
"Most of what we know about Jesus comes from the four gospels. Yet scholars agree that these are hardly dependable as historical sources. For one thing, they did not take shape until late in the first century, a generation or two after Jesus died...Scholars also agree that the gospels were not written by any of the 12 apostles-probably not anyone named Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, probably not by anyone who was even alive when Jesus was... "

In a publication by Dr. Wesley Muhammad titled Was Jesus of Nazereth Christ, he writes, “In 1991, an august body of 200 biblical scholars calling themselves the Jesus Seminar published their results of over 6 years of research trying to ascertain how much of the New Testament really speaks of Jesus of 2000 years ago. They concluded that only 20% of the Jesus of the Gospels goes back to the son of Mary 2,000 years ago, almost none of the Gospel of John. Robert Fortna, biblical scholar from Vassar College and member of the Seminar said ‘Most scholars, if they had worked through the sayings as we had, would tend to agree there is virtually nothing in the fourth gospel (John) goes back to Jesus.’
And the hammer hits the nail! The above evidence is clear. But, some may feel they need to see Quranic evidence as well.

The Quran makes a distinction between the prophetic Jesus and Jesus the Messiah. The Quran shows that Jesus the prophet was given one book while Jesus the Messiah would be TAUGHT numerous books. Speaking of the prophet the Quran reads, "He (Jesus) said: I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me the Book (the Gospel) and made me a prophet (Holy Qur'an 19:30) (Holy Quran 57:27). Moreover, Jesus of 2,000 years ago was a sign (Holy Quran 23:50). The sign is not the fulfiller. The sign points to the fulfiller. Who then is the fulfiller?

"And He (Allah) will teach him the Book and the Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel (Holy Qur'an 3:44-48).” The fulfiller is the man that is TAUGHT by Allah these four things. This corresponds with David the Psalmist saying the Lord would visit the Son of Man (Psalms 8:4). It is in this visit or short stay that the Son of Man would be taught the above wisdom. Who can lay such claim?

God Himself taught Elijah Muhammad. Elijah Muhammad IS the Son of Man, the long-awaited Messiah. He is the one whom the world has looked for! How do we know? To know the identity of the fulfiller you have to examine the work that this man was to fulfill.

All Praise be to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad!

The Messiah is to be made a ‘messenger to the Children of Israel’, which means he must be a man like Moses (Deut 18:18). You cannot have a man like Moses unless you have a people that were in bondage to a modern Pharaoh. We, the Black People of America are the Real Children of Israel who were prophesied to be in a strange land amongst a strange people. Muhammad was made to deliver the Message of Allah to us.

According to Holy Quran (3:46-51) the Messiah is also to do the following: Heal the Blind and the leprous, raise the dead, and teach them what foods to eat and what to store. The language here is symbolic. Muhammad healed the spiritually blind Black People of America. He healed a people totally helpless and buried wholly in sin. A people in a state of ignorance so intense that it is incomparable to anything previously seen. Muhammad reformed a people that took on the identity of another man and took that oppressive man as a god. Muhammad is bringing this people back to life. Lastly, he is to teach the people about FOOD. Neither Jesus of 2,000 years ago nor Muhammad of 1400 years ago did this. Elijah Muhammad taught us HOW TO EAT TO LIVE. Muhammad is resurrecting a dead Nation.

All Praise be to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad!

Well, the last thing we must ponder is the so-called death of Elijah Muhammad. The Nation of Islam under Minister Louis Farrakhan has challenged anybody in the whole world to prove that Elijah Muhammad is dead. In fact, Minister Farrakhan has declared that we will shut our mouths if anyone can prove Elijah Muhammad to be dead. We have the dental records (the only way one can determine the identity of a carcass) and we are ready to deliver them to whoever is willing to challenge us. The KEY aspect in the life of the promised Messiah is that he must escape death! Why? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told His Minister once ‘if Allah could not save me then there would be no hope that he could save you.’ “And for their saying: We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, and they killed him not, nor did they cause his death on the cross, but he was made to appear to them as such. And certainly those who differ therein are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for certain (Holy Quran 4:157).” This is a Cardinal principle for us.

“But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith (Please Read 1 Corinthians 15).” So I say to the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad under the guidance of HIS Minister Farrakhan, stand firm, stand strong, for the victory of the apostle is nigh!

“We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true--even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20).” “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life (1 John 5:13).”

Lastly, the word Messiah literally means ‘wiped over’ or one anointed with oil. When we Understand and connect with THE Messiah, we realize that our connection to Him makes us ALL little Messiah’s. We all become wiped over with the Spirit of God. We all become anointed and in tune with the God within. But to get there you must go through THE DOOR.

All Praise be to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad!

An Understanding of Fard Muhammad : Allah IN Person

Allah in Person

WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.

The above statement is the Cardinal point of Belief for the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. It is also the crux of the disagreement between the Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the West and the So-Called “orthodox” world. However, a more mature understanding of what Mr. Muhammad wrote will clarify this disagreement (least for those in whose hearts is not a disease). Even amongst members of the Nation of Islam, there is disagreement and misunderstanding on this vital subject.

Now let us examine the validity of Mr. Muhammad’s claim.

According to the Holy Quran, there are three ways that Allah uses to speak to Man:

1. Inspiration
2. Behind a Veil
3. By sending a Messenger

Holy Quran 42:51- It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise.

Of particular interest is method 2, from behind a veil.

Veil: something that covers, separates, screens, or conceals.

*Remember, ALLAH knows best what language to use!*

I am NOT Salih Muhammad. That is the VEIL. The Essence of me (or you) is much greater than that. The FLESH serves as a VEIL that covers the spirit. The spirit is clothed in the Flesh. Allah, the originator, created the flesh as a perfect suit for us.

“Most of our sisters who accuse our brothers of being superficial and not getting to know them beyond the contours of their bodies know that their physical is the veil that prevents most from getting acquainted with their intellect.

A woman being behind a veil is interchangeable with a woman being in a veil.

In the case of Fard Muhammad, he would be the veil. We say Allah came IN the person of Master Fard Muhammad. Fard is the veil. “-Quote Ali Muhammad

Since Allah appeared to us IN the PERSON of Master Fard Muhammad, Who or What is Allah?

Allah is the Original Man. Etymologically that means that Allah is the Original Mind.

WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.

Appear: to come into sight; become visible.

Allah, the only reality, became Apparent with the coming of Fard Muhammad. If I have a lamp without a light bulb, it may be plugged up, but I would have no way of knowing this unless we had a vessel through which the electricity could be made known. The light bulb makes the electricity apparent. Fard Muhammad made the reality of Allah clearly apparent to us.

The MIND of the Originator is Present in Fard Muhammad. That Original Mind was made APPARENT to us, through Him!

There is NO Mystery God! When we say the Original Mind, this is no spirit floating in the space. The Mind of Allah is revealed through his KNOWLEDGE. By growing into the knowledge of that which the Originator created, we are growing into His Mind.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5) ”

Also: in addition; too; besides; as well.

If Christ Mind is ALSO in him, where did it come from? It is the mind of the Originator.

“Every time you look at the Blackman and Woman, you are looking at God.” The root of each of us is GOD. Fard Muhammad is at PERFECT oneness with “the God within.” As a result we call him MASTER. He Has mastered self and all that exist within the Universe.

Do we worship Fard Muhammad? NO. The Flesh is not worthy of worship. Fard Muhammad was born and will die like EVERY ONE OF US. We Worship that which makes him who he IS. We do not worship the veil. We worship that which lies behind the veil.

Do we pray to Fard Muhammad? In our prayers we say, “O Allah who came to us in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad.” He is the one through whom Allah is Perfectly Manifested. He and the Originator are one.

Allah appeared to us IN the Person of Master Fard Muhammad! Allah appeared to us IN the Person of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad! Allah appeared to us IN the Person of Minister Louis Farrakhan. When we grow, Allah will be appearing to others, THROUGH our person’s!

Ramdan Mubarak!

I am excited about the beautiful month of Ramadan. I’m sure you are as well. Let us remember, that although we abstain from the intake of food or drink during the daylight hours, Ramadan is MUCH more than that. Ramadan is the reorientation of our minds! After nearly 365 days of living in Satan’s world, Ramadan offers us a unique opportunity to change Perspectives and Outlooks. It gives us the chance to reignite out intimate relationship with Rabil Al Amin-The Lord, Nourisher, Sustainer of All the Worlds. (Or for those of us who are perfect-to keep it the same).

(Insert) I'm taking NOTES this Ramadan. If you'd like to see them click HERE

“(We take Allah’s colour, and who is better than Allah at colouring, and we are His worshippers (Holy Quran 2:138).”

One definition of color is “nature, viewpoint, or attitude; character; personality.” Ramadan gives us the viewpoint, attitude, and character necessary for the resurrection of the dead. As we deny ourselves, we are drawing ourselves closer to our Lord. The HE that is in us becomes Greater and Greater than the he that is in the World! Let us use this Ramadan to strengthen SELF!
“Do you enjoin men to be good and neglect your own souls while you read the Book? Have you then No Sense (Holy Quran 2:44)?”

Let us Live, Love, and Stregnthen Ourselves. Let us Make room in Our Assemblies. Let us be the BEST that we can be! Remember, the BEST Way to take on Allah's coloring is through the Conscious STUDY of HIS word!


As-Salaam Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak!

PS: Lets make our Prayers!!! ;)

The Work of Muhammad by Royal Star Allah

Summary: While this post can stand alone, it is highly recommended that you read the previous post before proceeding to this one. Peace. - Royal Star Allah

“You’re nothing but an ex-slave,” Malcolm projected. His eyes scanned the room and pierced everyone he saw. “You don’t like to be told that. But what else are you? You are ex-slaves. You didn’t come here on the ‘Mayflower.’ You came here on a slave ship.” - Minister Malcolm X, Message to the Grassroots, pg. 4

I. MENTAL ACTIVITY

Let us pause here and digest the mental jewel (or complete idea) presented from viewing THEM as an Original Man who ATTAINED a particular level of self-maturity in his application of the Supreme Wisdom. In 1946, he was among a VERY elite company of people; which he "officially" joined 29 years later after “dying” in America of natural causes. Only a handful of other Original Men can claim such honor - not at the level that “Mr. Muhammad” did it.

Think: Frederick Douglass

(*SALIH CHALLENGE: Can you make a list of 10 Original Men and Women who meet this qualification.)

Many OTHER Original Men and Women who spoke Truth to Power were destroyed where they stood.

Think: Nat Turner

(*SALIH’s SECOND CHALLENGE: Can you draw any parallels between the Laws of Segregation and current laws in regard to the imprisonment of Original Men and Women?)

The “magnetic appeal” of “Mr. Muhammad’s” personality was the desire within other Original Men to achieve his state of mental freedom from their FEAR. Again, in the Age of Obama - who we see daily interacting with the Leaders of the World - it is difficult to communicate how monumental an achievement this was.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was inspirational – on the emotional and spiritual level. And, in being INSPIRATIONAL, language (Babel) becomes a barrier in communicating the nature and depth of the MENTAL STATE the Supreme Wisdom created within The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. To understand it, you had to be in his presence.

To explain it, many waxed poetic and used Biblical language. THEM was like the Jesus of Old, who walked up and down the shores of Galilee spreading FAITH among the People. What is Faith? It is a particular mind-set, or mental state. It allows for the GENIUS of Intelligence which lies within - the Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU! - to spring forth.

To use THEM language, “The so-called Negro must be completely re-educated.”

We do not know the exact moment when The Honorable Elijah Muhammad tapped into his OWN SELF. We can speculate, like very good historians. However, the exact process is not known. From what we do know, we can figure out the general structure. For you see, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught what he knew to Malcolm Little, whom he raised up into Minister Malcolm X. And, he taught Louis Walcott, whom he raised up into Minister Louis Farrakhan.

By OWN SELF, I mean the TRUE INDIVIDUAL. Here is the general process.

There is only one way to make a diamond. You take “flesh,” or carbon-based life forms, and put them under pressure. On the Earth this pressure is created deep underground, from the weight of the Earth upon the decaying matter. As the decaying matter changes form, some of it receives enough pressure to become a diamond, which is valued for its rarity, strength and beauty.

THEM was given the Supreme Wisdom. This means he had a teacher; someone who guided him through his development. This is still highly recommended.

First, you must digest the Supreme Wisdom, by reciting it to yourself. Hear it in your ears. Listen to the sound of your own voice teaching you who and what you truly are. If you do this homework, soon, the Supreme Wisdom will be apart of your vocabulary. You will speak it into existence, as scripture says.

Because of how he treated Minister Malcolm and Minister Farrakhan, we know that The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his Teacher spoke the language of the Supreme Wisdom to each other. THEM’s mind was saturated with it.

Using the Supreme Wisdom as a way to categorize information and perceive Reality, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad became aware of how he caused things to come into existence around him. In fact, he had the epiphany that he was CAUSE and everything else was EFFECT.

Such mastery has boundaries. With such self-awareness; that everything is REACTING to you, the conditions you find in your life are the result of your belief system. How you truly BELIEVE something to be – whether you speak words contrary to it or not – is manifested in the experiences of your life. We call the environment in which you have your experience: CONDITIONS.

The Supreme Wisdom permitted THEM’s mind to properly view the condition he discovered himself and Original People to be in. North America was not friendly. And home was 9000 miles away. If a change was going to take place, it had to take place HERE.

So, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad went to work, organizing Original People and assisting them in taking back control of themselves, ushering them into what he called, “The Knowledge of SELF!”

As a result of his work, the condition of prison was given to THEM. In his mind, he saw it as a test. (I would not use that word today.) He met the challenge, by becoming one with it. At some point, THEM acclimated to the rules and regulations of prison. He had a routine and everything. However, because of the Supreme Wisdom, he discovered that you cannot run a prison without the consent of the prisoners. (Let that sink in.) At this point, THEM decided to maintain his discipline. He only ate the prescribed diet and continued his practice of Islam.

Opposition to his discipline came. THEM met the opposition and maintained discipline. The discipline became painful (pressure!) at times. In fact, he almost broke his health trying to maintain discipline. In doing so, THEM’s mind became a conduit into the HIGHER INTELLIGENCE.

He saw into SELF and realized who and what he truly is: “The Owner. The Maker. The Cream of the Planet Earth.” The Supreme Wisdom crystallized within his mind and he achieved self-mastery. He was no longer afraid. He had SURVIVED the manifestations of his greatest fears. There was nothing anyone could DO to him anymore.

You cannot run the prison without the consent of the prisoners.

Of course, THEM’s connection to imprisoned brothers was deep. He had directly shared in their fears, hopes and dreams. He could not leave them behind, so he wrote to them regularly. The EFFECT was tremendous.

This blog is apart of that EFFECT, which continues to this day.

We Must rely on Allah AND Ourselves!

Question: Why didn’t this statement proceed like this “We Must Rely on Allah (period). Why was it necessary to add the conjunction “AND” attached to “Ourselves.”

Allah does not desire use him as an excuse to do nothing. Often, when we approach a circumstance that may seem unconquerable, unattainable, or too difficult, we like to say things like:

“Well, I’ll let Allah handle it”

“Its in Allah’s hands”

Or when we don’t intend on putting a good effort forward, we say “Inshallah.”

However, there is NO mystery God. Let us stop relying on the mystery God in the name of ‘letting Allah handle it.’ How will Allah handle it except through your and my hands?

Lets stop using the name of Allah as an excuse. Let us unite and truly rely on Allah AND Ourselves.

Holy Quran 53: 38-41: “Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another; That man can have nothing but what he strives for; That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight; Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete;”(Yusuf Ali)

Holy Quran 53:38-41: “That no bearer of burden bears another’s burden: And that man can have nothing but what he strives for: And that his striving will soon be seen. Then he will be rewarded for it with the fullest reward.”(Maulana Ali)

Opposites Attract: The Beauty of Modesty in an Immodest Society

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
In this society, there is none who suffers more from degredation, belittlement, the lack of self-value, and the perceived lack of value than WOMEN. Yet, Women are the MOST important people in ANY society. From the womb of woman, New societies are birthed or old societies are continued. Therefore, Women have an immeasurable value in the sight of God! Jesus, came from the womb of a woman. The woman is the tool that Almighty God uses to bring into existence PERFECTION. YES, WOMAN. YES, YOU! And it is in this light, that I, Salih Muhammad, felt the need to have a guest blog by a Woman. This blog is intended to inspire any who read. Enjoy!

A guest Blog By Sister Akilah Muhammad...


“A Muslim woman attracts without attracting indecent attention. She is admired for her dignity, honor, cleanliness and righteousness”- The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

“I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was a robe and a diadem.” Job 29:14

The law of electromagnetism states that Electric charges attract or repel one another with a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: unlike charges attract, like ones repel. Magnetic poles (or states of polarization at individual points) attract or repel one another in a similar way and always come in pairs: every north pole is yoked to a south pole.

Webster defines Beauty as “1: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit. 3: a particularly graceful, ornamental, or excellent quality. 4: a brilliant, extreme, or egregious example or instance.”

Modesty is defined as “1a: Placing a moderate estimate on one’s abilities or worth. 1b: neither bold nor self-assertive: tending toward diffidence. 2: arising from or characteristic of a modest nature 3: observing the proprieties of dress and behavior (decent)”.

Immodest is defined as “not modest: not conforming to the sexual mores of a particular time or place.”
Mores is “the fixed morally binding customs of a particular group; moral attitudes.”

In a world that holds “Barbies” and “Bad Chicks” in high esteem, I tend to stand out amongst my peers wearing a drape scarf as a head covering and a garment in which I consciously make sure covers my entire form. I bear witness to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad when he says, Islam dignifies the black man and woman “and gives us the desire to be clean internally and externally and for the first time have a sense of dignity.” The beauty of modesty in an immodest society is the REAL love and admiration that is gained for the God within that individual. The gospel duo, Mary Mary, has a song on the radio entitled, “God in Me”, where they describe that the glow people see on their face is manifesting from the God within! The strength that people admire in them is from the God within! The love they exude onto others is from the God within! It is beautiful that this song is in rotation today for “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised” Proverbs 31:30.



However, this society, orchestrated by the enemies of Allah (God), would have you to believe through radio, television, film, and corrupt educational systems, that being attractive depends on shallow/surface attributes. If you have the “right” figure, facial features, hair, accessories, clothes (or lack thereof), or God Forbid ALL OF THE ABOVE then you are the definition of beautiful and should put this beauty on display for all the world to see. But who are they to say what’s the “right” ANYTHING?! We cannot allow this world to choose which styles or behaviors are attractive, unless we be tricked; let us not be bamboozled today! When we put our beautiful forms and “assets” on display do we understand that we are actually agitating the lower urges within men? In Minister Ava Muhammad’s book, A New Unit of Measurement, she explains that “Men then use this agitation as an excuse for exploitation, abuse, and plain disrespect.” We must realize and remember that we are Royalty! A Queen is never seen disrobed in public; she is always modest in dress and her behavior is of the most refined. She is the standard, an example of the highest form of civilization and is attractive to all in her presence because of her inner modesty that is reflected on the surface. Once we gain a profound understanding of the value of woman, her womb, and what the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad meant when he said “A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than its Woman” then we will grow to know and understand the mindset of a woman like Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She was a chaste woman of God who all men admire and all women should study.
I will give a testimony to the beauty of modesty in an immodest society. Because I choose to cover myself in a fashionable manner at Howard University and everywhere I go, I receive nothing but respect from all who I encounter. I rarely have to open my own door, and I am always complimented on how refreshing it is to see a young lady taking a stand against the trends of today by being my own righteous self. Please do not think I am using this article to boast, I am simply bearing witness to the brilliance of the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in his instructions that women of God should act and dress according to our title.

“So why does it seem like men are more attracted to women who are less modest?” you may ask. I will ask you, “What kind of ‘men’ are they?! Are they ‘men’ at all?” We must realize that it is Gods light and power within modest sisters and brothers as well that act as a magnet and attractive force in such a corrupt and immodest society where the masses are used to being fed filth (mentally, spiritually, and physically) on a daily bases. Have you ever considered that the attraction that you perceive is actually just a lustful desire! In the same book Sister Ava says “Men have no respect or honor for women who display themselves, even if they are sexually aroused by such displays; they withdraw from their role as provider and protector, question whether their children really belong to them, abandon their families, and in doing so create more poor, homeless, vulnerable people for society to take care of.” Is this the type of attraction a Queen seeks? Emphatically no! Let us do opposite of what this world promotes and seek to attain true beauty by submitting ourselves to the Creator of attraction and all things beautiful, Allah (God). Let us be a magnetic force today with the spirit of truth! Let us attract with our minds and spirit and become the standard of modesty for all the world to behold. Let us wrap ourselves in clothe like the gifts we are; for we are Gods greatest treasures. Let us be Gods definition of “Attractive.”
