These are the very essentials of life, and they adorn the Crown of Life which we shall all wear in ALLAH’s Paradise, the Kingdom of God, which shall soon be set up on this earth, for us to enjoy while we are living.
Almighty God, ALLAH, has a religion of life, not of death, that teaches us to live, the importance of living, and how to live. ALLAH is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead.
All praise is due to ALLAH! We who once followed foolishly and blindly after the slave master’s plurality of gods (TRINITY) and sought to have our heaven (the necessities of life) up in the sky after we die, are no longer fooled today by the slave master’s lies. Today, we know there is but ONE GOD. There is no God but ALLAH! And, we bear witness that The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is His last and greatest Messenger to us here in North America.
Yes, we who were once dead (mentally, morally, socially, politically, and economically), lying at the rich white man’s feet here in the grave of ignorance, are being raised today from this “death.” We are being made upright ... PERPENDICULAR ... by the WORD of this Noble Messenger of Almighty God, ALLAH. He has the Message of Life for 20,000,000 so-called Negroes here in America.
“The people (Negroes) that walked in darkness (ignorance) have seen a great light (Islam): they that dwell in the land (of bondage) in the shadow of death (the Cross) upon them has the light shined” (Isaiah 9:2).
Examine our previous condition, then judge Messenger Muhammad according to his work among us. We who are striving to carry his teachings into practice today are well on the road to mental, moral and financial independence.
Thanks to His Message we are well aware today of the importance of Freedom, Justice, Equality ... Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding ... Food, Clothing, Shelter ... Love, Peace and Happiness, in sufficient quantity and quality, while we are living. This great teacher has filled us with a desire to rest not, until we have our own righteous nation, united together under ALLAH, the One God, wherein brotherhood is a practiced reality instead of a future dream or a “far-away promise” as it is in the Christian religion of our slave master.
