He Came Alone: We Are The Overcomers

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
On July 4, 1930 Allah came to us in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad. We are forever thankful for his coming. I know the above statement requires evidence and proof but that’s not what I wanted to talk about. Master Fard Muhammad came ALONE. The scriptures say of his coming “I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so my own arm worked salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me (Isaiah 63:5).” WOW! The God came and he did not have the backing of ANYONE!
Well, this is an interesting statement. Of course Allah has the backing of the angels, the righteous, the wise, etc. Yet, when he came, there was NONE. Why not? It is because as a people, we have been “despised and rejected” by everyone, including our own people. How so? When we were taken into the jungles of Africa to be made stronger than nature, no one came to recue us from our rebellious father. We were allowed to sit there and suffer. Then, after a new people were made we became the subjects of this new people.
Master Fard Muhammad came alone. Then he raised up one from amongst us, who decided that he did NOT agree with prophecy. He decided that he and his followers were commissioned to beat prophecy. What was the result? “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Revelations 5:8-9).” The wise elders had to sing a NEW song. They were not singing the song of our salvation at first. They only saw a mere 144,000 of us surviving. But, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad contended, “Me and My followers DISAGREE with the old prophets.” This Man is standing totally alone, none to uphold him but the Lords right arm. The elders HAD to submit to he who was worthy, he who was willing to stand-alone.
We cannot always expect to get support. Sometimes there will be NONE willing to uphold us but HIS right arm. In a world that is built contrary to the will of God, it looks abnormal to strive to live upright. Being in a contrary world, anytime you or I stand up for truth, we often may find ourselves ostracized, slandered, hated, and despised. The scriptures read that we will be HATED for HIS names sake. He came Alone. We cannot always expect to have support for righteous endeavors. But, he came alone! And upon his coming he raised one that could stand alone with His help.
It’s not popular to wear a headpiece and garment. It’s not popular to declare I am a follower of Farrakhan. It’s not popular to be the moral conscience of in settings that are filthy. We may often find ourselves standing ALONE! But there is no need to worry. I may stand alone in Oakland while you stand alone in Alaska. Although I’m standing alone, I’m standing alone with all of you! Praise Be to Allah. Let us Stand Strong, Stand Firm, and Hold on tight to the rope of Allah and you can declare, “We are the Overcomers!”

Some Nice Verses:
1 John 5:4-For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Holy Quran 3:160-If Allah helps you, there is none that can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there that can help you after Him? And in Allah should the believers put their trust.
Revelations 21:7-He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
