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!

Yakub: Black Muslim Mythology or Scientifically Justifiable?

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Albert Einstein once stated that "Condemnation without Investigation is the height form of ignorance"

SOOO Many so-called scholard condemn Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam for somehow being "racist" This is in part due to either a) Hatred b) Ignorance c) Envy d) Selective Ignorance. Nonetheless its sad that so-called scholars have the gall to call the NOI racist but don't have the courage to do REAL research.

Minister Farrakhan on Meet the Press
"TR: Last year you gave an interview to Henry Louis Gates, a professor from Harvard, in New Yorker magazine where he asked you whether you still subscribe to the teachings of Elijah Muhammad on Yakub, a Black scientist who 6,600 years ago created the white man, and that by the end of the 20th century, a spaceship will come and rain down upon white people and people who don't embrace Islam. Do you subscribe to the teachings of Yakub, that Yakub, the black scientist, created the white man?

MLF: I subscribe to every word that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us. You know, it's not unreal to believe that white people-who genetically cannot produce yellow, brown or black-had a Black origin. The scholars and scientists of this world agree that the origin of man and mankind started in Africa and that the first parent of the world was black. The Qur'an says that God created Adam out of black mud and fashioned him into shape. So if white people came from the original people, the black people, what is the process by which you came to life? That is not a silly question. That is a scientific question with a scientific answer. It doesn't suggest that we are superior or that you are inferior. It suggests, however, that your birth or your origin is from the black people of this earth; superiority and inferiority is determined by our righteousness and not by our color.
Mr. Elijah Muhammad advanced an argument that caucasians are not native to any area on the Earth. They are not the indigenous people on any part of the planet. Someone was always present before they set foot on the soil of whatever land they "discovered". These people are the most recent people on the planet. Since they were not always living side by side with the original inhabitants of the earth, where did they come from? How did they come about? Did they just pop up out of nowhere? "

The following argument was written by a Brother I highly admire, Ali Muhammad. I could have wrote my own, LOL, but his was soooo poignant, I figured I'd just use this :) Enjoy!

The existence of an entire race of people carrying recessive genetic traits requires explanation more than theoretical speculation based on environmental change, since these same people are now dominating the world outside of the ideal enviornment in which such biological changes would be yielded.

Mr. Elijah Muhammad asserts that caucasians are the product of genetic engineering. He asserts that they are a "grafted" people.

What exactly is this "grafting"?

"Grafting", as an account offered by Mr. Muhammad, describes a process based upon marriage and procreation. It involved a subject group (a percentage of original people) and a controlled enviornment, an area where the process could go on unabated. The process involves marrying individuals of two different hues with the objective of producing children possessing the lighter of the two hues. (*Note: According to Mr. Muhammad, two dark-skinned people of the same hue were not permitted to marry.) The offspring of these unions would marry amongst themselves. Generations of progeny were born lighter than the previous generations (*Note: No dark-skinned children survived birth.) and this process carried on for 600 years, according to the account offered by Mr. Muhammad.

Now, basically, the above process which Mr. Muhammad calls "grafting" is simply...

selective breeding n.

The intentional mating of two animals in an attempt to produce offspring with desirable characteristics or for the elimination of a trait

dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=selective%20breeding

It is a very real process used today by those who practice...

animal husbandry n.

The branch of agriculture concerned with the care and breeding of domestic animals such as cattle, hogs, sheep, and horses.

dictionary.reference.com/search?q=animal%20husbandry

And even among the various definitions of "graft", we find...

graft v.

3. To join or unite closely: graft new customs onto old.

In this case, the "joining" is the lighter unto the lighter for the purpose of producing a completely new people.

To those who have read about Yakub and the grafting of the white race, understand that no scientist was sitting in a lab and playing with petri dishes or whatever images come to your mind, when Mr, Muhammad's words are read.

Is selective breeding fantasy? Is selective breeding unthinkable? No. It's not science fiction. It's an ACTUAL SCIENCE that is presently being PRACTICED as you read these words.

As indicated in another thread, members of some scientific communities are beginning to consider "selection" as the means by which caucasians came about.

Quote:

"Some scientists said they suspect that white skin's rapid rise to genetic dominance may also be the product of "sexual selection," a phenomenon of evolutionary biology in which almost any new and showy trait in a healthy individual can become highly prized by those seeking mates, perhaps because it provides evidence of genetic innovativeness." - Rick Weiss (Staff Writer), Washington Post, Friday, December 16, 2005; Page A01

The Moral of this is we are foolish to condemn something without first investigating it. Let's not get caught in slander and foolery. Study. Study. Study.
