Actual Excerpt taken from station W.C.N.B. in Detroit, 1933. Religion in Brief. –Guest speakers tonight include Mr. Wallace Fard and world reknown mathematician, Mr. Albert Einstein.
(Announcer, Mr. Brandon): Gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to have you two here tonight as guest on Religion in Brief. It serves us here at station W.C.N.B., as well as the public, as a great opportunity to get a chance to probe in activities and lifestyles, philosophies and religious
outlooks of you two gentlemen who are contributing much energy to certain sections of our nation. Mr. Einstein, to our scientific advancement in the Principles of Relativity; and Mr. Fard to the minority of our nation with what I’ve heard you say on many occasions in the past “Knowledge of Self”.

Mr. Einstein, could you give our listeners a brief run down on yourself?
(MR. EINSTEIN): Yes, I’d be glad to. First, I’d like to say thank you Mr. Brandon for inviting me on your show tonight. I feel comfortable and it is a pleasure to be here. At this stage of my work, I am involved in
certain experiments, which covers the scope of “Atomic enlightenment” as well as developments for this country, in case of nuclear warfare. Second, Mr. Brandon, they refer me as being a scientist, opening up new channels to the principles of relativity. Now I say, my work includes the science of matter and energy, and of the
interaction between the two. Thus, I would rather be known to the world as a theoretical physicist in the mathematical view of relativity.
(Mr. Brandon): Very interesting. Mr. Fard, could you give the listeners
a brief run down on yourself?
(W.F. MUHAMMAD): Salaam-Alaikum. For you, Mr. Brandon, Mr. Einstein and the listeners elsewhere and abroad. My Attribute is Fard Muhammad Ibn Alfonso. I extend my thanks first to Allah, God, for
enabling me to be here tonight. Your offer, Mr. Brandon, is greatly appreciated by me, may Allah bless you. a little about myself: I am SON OF MAN, as it is written; Seeking to Save that which was Lost, and Restore again that which has gone astray.

(MR. BRANDON): Thank you gentlemen. We’ll be right back in 60 seconds.
(MR. BRANDON): We’re back at station W.C.N.B. 1440 on your dial. Religion in Brief. Tonight our guest are Mr. Albert Einstein and Mr. Wallace, excuse me, Mr. Fard Muhammad. Mr. Muhammad what would you say your complete theory of religion and Islam is?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): For years now people have been asking me questions about my theory of religion, Truth, Islam, Allah, etc., etc…
People who have attended my lectures throughout Illinois, Michigan and some in L.A…but you see, Mr. Brandon, 95% of the population have made religion and Truth something permanent, and is religion
and Truth permanent? If it is, then it is continuous, and what is continuous is not Truth. That is the beauty of Truth: It must be discovered from moment to moment, not remembered. A remembered truth is a dead thing. Truth must be discovered from moment, because it is living. It is never the same; yet each time you discover it, it is the same. What is important is not to make a theory of Truth, not to say Truth is permanent in us and all the rest is an invention of the old who are frightened of both life and death. It is the Skunk Race,
who are decaying, and their philosophies have no validity. The fact is that Truth is Life, and has no permanency. It cannot be taken for granted that you know life. Your amusement and your thinking process; that dull, repetitive process, is not life, nor Truth, neither religion.
(MR. BRANDON): Mr. Muhammad, I’m sure me, as well as our listeners have a lot of questions concerning that last statement you made. So let me begin with this: You said Truth is not permanent, nor is it continuous; then how can it be infinite, if it does not possess those two qualities?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Life is something to be discovered. You cannot discover it if you have not lost it; if you put aside the things that you have found. Do an experiment with what I am saying. Put aside your philosophies, your religion, your customs, your racial taboos, and all the rest of it; for they are not life. If you are caught in those things you will never discover life; and the function of education (knowledge) surely is to help you discover life all the time. Now permanent implies
continuing in the same state, which is duration, and duration is the time during which something exists. Now once we…
(MR. EINSTEIN): Excuse me, Mr. Muhammad, may I cut you off for a
second?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Sure, speak.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Before we move into a different topic, please let me ask you this: If certain individuals stored their religions, philosophies and spiritualism for another’s beliefs, because they might not feel sound, is that not a sin to those of a higher nature?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Those individuals who adopt theosophy,
spiritualism, or hypnotism, may possess natures above some others
who eschew their false beliefs, therefore, my contest is not with the
individual, but with the false system. The Blackman here in the so-
called wilderness, loves those people of stature. This is why I shall
continue to labor and endure the strong currents of spirituality, the
manifestations of which are health, purity, and self-immulation, must
deepen human experience; until the beliefs of material existence are
seen to be bold impositions; and sin, as well as disease, and death,
give everlasting place to the scientific demonstration of Truth in
mathematics, and to God, the Perfect Man, Allah.
(MR. BRANDON): We are told that the attainment of Wisdom and Power
can only be acquired through study and knowledge.
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Of ourselves…….
(MR. BRANDON): We have seen also that the same laws govern the whole
Universe, and that if man can understand some of the laws governing, as
Mr. Muhammad said Himself, the tiniest atom, he will have a clue to those
which govern the solar system to which they belong; but it would be very
difficult to believe that our sun was part of an atom in the cell of a solid
body.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Some scientists now claim that the outer-shell is denser
than the planets that swing through it. So you see, we must reserve ideas
about solidity until we are a little more informed.
(MR. BRANDON): The point that I am trying to make is that through
visualizing our vast giant solar system, we can better understand the
intimate relation in which the stars stand to each other.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Don’t worry Mr. Brandon. The astrologers make careful
calculations of the chemical and spiritual influences set up be the continual
changing of the relative positions of the planets and luminaries (Sun and
Moon) which is man. So let us resolve our arguments concerning that study
please.
(MR. BRANDON): Mr. Einstein, there’s a word that you are an atheist. Let
me ask you this: Do you believe in God?
(MR. EINSTEIN): I believe in Spinoza’s god?
(MR. BRANDON): You did say Spinoza’s God?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Yes he did, S.P.I.N.O.Z.A., but you see Mr.
Einstein, and Mr. Brandon, Spinoza was a mere mortal, who was a
philosopher in the 17th century. His full name was Baruch De
Spinoza. he was a Dutch-Jewish philosopher who died at the age of
45 (1632-1677). His concept was that the Universe is formed of one
substance, which is God, and the reality of mind and matter are the
attributes, and that beings such as us are only changing shape in our
composition. The concept (Spinozaism) is meritless. The whole
theory collapses under its own weight of inaccuracy.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Excuse me Mr. Muhammad, but I am very…what you call
cabalistic. I rely not on external experimentation, but on intellect, logic, and
intuition. The logic of theory must stem from an inner coherence, not
because external evidence makes it most logical over other theories.
(MR. BRANDON): Excuses me gentlemen, let me interrupt you two for a
second. Mr. Einstein sir, tell me a little of Spinoza.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Though I cannot here expound the philosophy of
Spinoza; I can speak briefly on its aspects: Spinoza attempted to lay the
foundation for a new free society, ruled by law, yet also in accord with
divine nature. On the one hand, Spinoza presented religion as a product of
imagination; leading to piety. On the other hand, Spinoza held that reason
and intuition led a man to a union with the source of all things, which is
called the intellectual love of God. God, he said, is nature. God is whatever
truly lives. In knowing Him we love Him and it is this knowledge of Him
which makes man’s mind immortal.
(MR. MUHAMMAD): In those days, Mr. Einstein, that was a dangerous
doctrine of immortality; and laid Spinoza open to misunderstanding
and invectiveness.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Yet God Himself was ever present in all Spinoza’s
writings; so much so, that one commentator did aptly called him a God
intoxicated man.
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Your philosophy is just heritage. You are merely
an abstraction of Spinoza, and indefinable expression of a creed, not
universal reasoning and intuition as you state, and not a unity factor
when understood completely. It is the illumination of the spiritual
understanding which demonstrates the capacity of the soul, not of
material senses, such revelation whatever constitutes and
perpetuates harmony, enabling one to do good, but not evil (thus
there is no unity in this intuition) you will…well, not you two, reach
the perfect science of self when you are able to read the human mind.
After this manner and discover the error you would destroy.
(MR. BRANDON): Mr. Muhammad, acquaintance with this science, as you
say, will enable one to commune more largely with this spiritual
understanding?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): I say it is a science, because it is! One second I
referred to spirit as mind. and not like you two took it. To understand
that mind is infinite, not bound by corporeality; not dependent on the
ear and eye for sound or sight, nor upon the muscles and bones for
locomotion, is a step forward. The mind science by which we discern
man’s nature and existence. This true conception of the Blackman
being God destroys the belief of spiritualism and Spinozaism at is
very inception, for without the concession of immaterial personalities
called spirits, Spiritualism has no more basis upon which to hold.
Take the little Black Child for instance…….
(MR. BRANDON): Excuse me Mr. Muhammad, we must take a break at
this time. We’ll be back in sixty seconds.
(MR. BRANDON): We’re back and this is Religion in Brief. My name is
Keith Brandon your host and tonight we are talking with Mr. Fard
Muhammad, and Mr. Albert Einstein. Mr. Muhammad, while we were taking
that break you commented about certain expressions of the child, or little
children, so to speak, and their….
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Excuse me sir, I said the little Black Child.
(MR. BRANDON): Oh, I’m sorry. The little Black Child, and their awareness
process which leads up to adulthood.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Excuse me Mr. Brandon, one second Mr. Muhammad, sir,
what is the difference between awareness and sensitivity.
(MR. MUHAMMAD): I wonder if there is any difference. You know,
when you ask a question, what is important is to find out for yourself
the truth of the matter and not merely accept what someone else
says. So let us find out together what it is to be aware. When you
observe you reactions to what people say to you and how your mind
is always evaluating, judging, comparing, and condensing. This is all
part of awareness, which begins on the surface and then goes deeper
and deeper, but for most of you, awareness stops at a certain point.
But unalike the Blackman, who is surely without doubt the True God
of the Universe, Whose proper name is Allah, has no point of end to
their awareness. For their brain capacity is 7-1/2 ounces of pure……
(MR. BRANDON): Did you say their brain capacity is 7-1/2 ounces?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Yes, 7-1/2 ounces. The seven is ‘urim’, which is
Light, the illumination of science, the only fit preparation for
admission to the PRESENCE AND POWER OF THE MOST HIGH. The
1/2 is ‘Thummin’ (check you Bible–Exodus and Ezra) which is
Extraordinary Perfection, which does not sleep; only alertness; and if
you go into it still more deeply, you will find that there is no division
between the person who is aware and the object of which he is aware.
Now what does it mean to be sensitive? To be cognizant of color and
form; to be considerate, good manners, listen attentively, without
being bored, to everything that is said. So is there much difference
between sensitivity and awareness? I don’t think so.
(MR. BRANDON): In dealing with facts that contradict some of the things
you say, would you still say that the Colored man, the American Negro is
truly God?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): The Colored man is your kind, *(pointing to Mr.
Einstein), and the only contradiction I’ve heard in the last seconds
was ‘American Negro’. Now the broadest facts array the most false
lies against themselves; for they bring error from undercover. It
requires courage to offer truth, courage such as my Brother, Jesus
had. You see the higher Truth lifts her voice, the louder will error
scream; until its inarticulate sound is forever silenced in oblivion.
(MR. EINSTEIN): You mentioned Jesus as your Brother, to my knowledge
Jesus was a Jew. And if you view the Jesus’ achievement through
materialistic eyes: seeing only an insignificant minority in possession of a
little land and a few battalions; this will seem improbable. It will not seem
improbable if a man discards the blinkers of prejudice and views the World
not as a ‘thing’ but as an ‘Idea’! Then we may see that two-thirds of the
civilized world is already governed by the ideas of the Jews. The ideas of
Moses, Jesus, Paul, Spinoza, Marx, Frued. Will the World in the next two
thousands years embrace the morality of the Torah, the social justice of the
Prophets, the ethics of the Jewish Patriarchs? If so, then in the words of
Isaiah; ‘There will be Peace! Peace to him that is far off, and Peace to him
that is near’.
(MR. BRANDON): Yes Mr. Muhammad, what Mr. Einstein says I can
understand. If Islam is your religion, how can it claim Jesus as one of its
chief Prophets when Jesus was a Christian?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): I do not blame Mr. Einstein for his misled
knowledge.For I am aware of the origin of this knowledge. Jesus was
neither Christian nor Islamic. Christianity was not yet born when
Jesus walked the earth, and Islam was not yet named by our Prophet
at that time. Jesus taught Love, Freedom of error, Justice in terms of
Equality. This making him the Messiah the people were talking about.
This was then the political atmosphere into which he stepped, when
he had chosen to reveal publicly that he was the Messiah. His
destination was the Temple. His aim was to reform some of its
practices. Not to destroy them, but reform them; for the Skunk Race
still had another 1,914 years left to rule in their ghettoes and their
darkness.
(MR. EINSTEIN): But the darkness was Light enough! If the Christians
looked with derision upon the ridiculous ghetto Jews: The Jews looked with
contempt upon those who jeered at them, namely Jesus! As a group they
were still the most learned men in the East, Europe, excuse me….They
were the only ethnic group in Europe having Universal Education. Into the
ghetto they took with them their 3,500 years of cultural heritage, their
Talmud, Old Testament, which illuminated their bleak physical existence
with intellectual and religious comfort; and the veil of the Jewish women
were a sign of the spiritual compensation given by their laws.
(MR. MUHAMMAD): I beg you pardon, Mr. Einstein, but I SPEAK THE
TRUTH OF THE ORIGINAL MAN BEING GOD, hear Me when I say what
is right! A veil sir, is a cover, it is a concealment, hiding hypocrisy!
The Jewish women wore veils over their faces in token reverence and
submission and in accordance with Pharisaic notions of the Judaic
religion consisting mostly of rites and ceremonies. The motives and
affections of a man were of little value; if he only appeared unto men
to fast. The Great Nazarene, AS MEEK AS HE WAS MIGHTY, rebuked
the hypocrite who offered long petitions for blessing upon material
methods; but cloaked the crime latent in thought, which was ready to
spring into action and hypocrisy. Allah’s Anointed One, Jesus. THE
MARTYRDOM OF JESUS WAS THE CULMINATING SIN OF
PHARISAISM. IT RENT THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE. IT REVEALED THE
FALSE FOUNDATION AND SUPERSTRUCTURE OF THE SUPERFICIAL
RELIGION. TORE FROM BIGOTRY AND SUPERSTITION THEIR
COVERING AND OPENED THE SEPULCHRE WITH DIVINE SCIENCE
OF ALLAH.
(MR. BRANDON): Well that concludes our broadcast for today, and I would
like to thank both Mr. Einstein, and Mr. Muhammad for joining us here
tonight.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Before we go Mr. Brandon, do I have a second?
(MR. BRANDON): Yes, a second.
(MR. EINSTEIN): Ah, Mr. Muhammad, do you speak Arabic? Would you
know how to say my name in Arabic, Mr. Muhammad?
(MR. MUHAMMAD): Yes, in Arabic you would say Yacub!
(MR. BRANDON): Thank you folks for listening to Religion in Brief on
station W.C.N.B. I’m your host, Keith Brandon, and we’ll be back two
Sunday’s from today. Until then, may the Lord bless you. Good Night.
*Muhammad Speaks does not know how the author knows who The
Saviour pointed to
(MR. EINSTEIN): Ah, Mr. Muhammad, do you speak Arabic? Would you
know how to say my name in Arabic, Mr. Muhammad? (MR. MUHAMMAD): Yes, in Arabic you would say Yacub!
