The Messenger’s (PBUH) Explanation of PROBLEM #2

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

(PROBLEM NO. 2)

The wife of Mr. W.D. Fard’s Uncle, in the Wilderness of North America, weighs other than herself, therefore she has rheumatism, headache, pains in all joints, and cannot walk up to the store. She is troubled frequently with high blood pressure and registers more than thirty-two; her pulse is nearly eighty times per minute and she died at the age of forty-seven. How many times did her pulse beat in forty-seven years?

The physical part of this Problem is answered. So I do not profess to be solving that part, but what is needed to be solved out and understood in this Problem is, the spiritual aspects, so as to give our Lost-Found Nation in the Wilderness of North America, a clear knowledge of the cause of their unwanted and denied presence in the better Moral and Cultured Society; which causes us to suffer much embarrassments. Which not only affect our beauty and facial expression, but throw the mental power into confusion. And from this comes the unwelcome words, “I DO NOT CARE HOW I LOOK, OR WHAT I DO, IT IS NOBODY’S BUSINESS BUT MY OWN.” Another unfit mother to suckle and train our oncoming generations. Gone to the dogs of humanity. (The wife of Mr. W.D. Fard’s Uncle) includes every lost-found woman and girl in the wilderness of North America. The uncle is every lost-found man and boy. A Uncle is one’s Father’s Brother or Mother’s Brother. By using this name (“UNCLE,”) Our Saviour wishes to show us not to reject Him or chide Him as a stranger because He is one of our many Brothers of Asiatic Blood.

Our fathers and mothers are His father’s and mother’s brothers and sisters. The only great misfortune is we did not know ourselves, and most likely, if a person does not know himself, how can he know his brother? Therefore, the uncle’s wife is His sister and is completely robbed of herself. She weighs other than herself. The devil taught her to eat the wrong food, and to eat it three times per day, and all between meals, and drink strong beverages and make herself fat like a poison animal.

So she would be shapeless and ugly, kinked hair, ignorant, degraded, and base. That no one of high morals would want such a woman or girl. The overweight causes her to suffer with rheumatism, headaches, pains in all joints, and she soon becomes lazy and careless, hopeless, using snuff, tobacco, wearing filthy clothes, sitting in her filthy rooms or houses, sleeping all during the day and night. She quarrels at all times with her family, and uses the most ugly dirty Languages at home or in public. If chastised by the better Society, she accuses them of not being any better than her, or not as good. She hates the intelligent Sisters of her neighborhood. She sits in her door or at her window and watches for all men to offer her body. She loves and enjoys all men but her own husband. She helps uphold her own Sons and Daughters in committing acts of adultery.

If her husband’s friends visit him, she stops all her housework to sit in their presence, or in an adjoining room, where she can catch the eye of her husband’s friend to see how much her person affects the husband’s friend. If he is not affected by her alluring acts, she does not like him. She is full of lies. Always working to deceive her husband. She hates to take baths. Only once per week she takes a total ablution. She carries a very foul odor. She fears the bath tub when in the regular menstruation period, that she takes cold and cause the flow to stop. She always buys her shoes too small and with a high cork heel. This causes corns on her toes, and she goes hopping in the streets, and many a time has to pull off her shoes in the presence of company.

She moves real slow, and watches everybody to see if she is being noticed. She buys all the rubbing medicine, headache pills and laxatives the devils manufacture. Now, she sits down, overweight with fat, aching limbs, high blood pressure, and waits for death. A sad and miserable condition. The devil have gotten that which was once the Earth’s Most Beautiful Woman!!! One-half of her children is sometime bastard children. They marry, and if not pregnant by their husbands as soon as expected, he is labeled as “no good”. And she slips out and gets children by another man and accuses them of being her husband’s children to cover her adulteress acts. But as child grows, it manifests itself that the mother played adultery. A sad picture of the wife of Mr. W.D. Fard’s uncle in the wilderness of North America. So unclean! A recent survey by Asiatic nurses shows only one girl out of every seven hundred (700) is virgin. This was proved by Harlem Hospital in New York City. There, the record shows that this number is taken from school girls, and that girls are now being caught giving birth to babies in school toilets, and that school teachers are many times the fathers and mothers of these indecent acts of adultery.

AWAKE! You mothers in the Wilderness! Separate your daughters from the schools of this adulteress generations. Let us take a peep at the Spiritual side of this Problem #2. (She has rheumatism). This gives her pains in all her joints, and at the same time a headache, and she cannot walk up to the (Store) mentioned here is the Store House of Wisdom, Freedom, Justice and Equality with the Highest Civilized Societies of the Nations. And especially our Asiatic Brothers and Sisters of the East whom we have been lost from for nearly 400 years. Our Sisters living such a life, have pains of rejection at the door of every intelligent Society they try to join themselves to. The intelligent Asiatic Young men and even the devils bar them in matrimony. They are recognized only at the back door, in the dark, as prostitutes. Denied high paying positions in society. Their presence is frowned upon at dinner tables and dancing parties given by moral societies.

No well refined, and perfect formed woman or girl will class with such overweight, undeveloped, indecent, lazy, careless, ugly, over-average breathers, home breakers, children destroyers, unsuitable, sick, diseased, unbridled tongues, husband deceivers, lovers of strange men. They are rejected and their company shunned. (Pains in all joints). Wherever they try to make a joint connect. The head aches under the strain of excess weight. And so is the head of those people, OUR SAVIOUR and His Apostle, aching mentally trying to reform our women of these low and outcast conditions. So they can join their Asiatic Sisters. She is troubled frequently with high blood pressure. Blood is the fluid of life. She is always disappointed, thus, she becomes troubled very often, her life is depressed, she becomes enraged, her feelings run high, and is no more normal. She goes insane and loses all hopes of Moral respect from intelligent societies. Destroying her life trying to co-habit or mix two men’s blood in her womb at the same time. Eating poison food, going unclean, ignorant of how to be a healthy pregnant Mother — thus the mother dies in the change of life, at the age of 47. Hardly, no children are born to the Lost-found mother after this age. Being overburdened physically and mentally causes the pulse to beat fast, because the brains and heart is overtaxed with the pulse beating at the rate of nearly eighty times per minute. This is about six above normal, for adults.

HOW TO ATTAIN THE HIGHEST MORAL RESPECT

FIRST BE OBEDIENT TO ALLAH, AND HIS APOSTLE.

Bearer of power – able to live without unrighteousness.

SECOND: Separate thyself from those who hate intelligence, and work in opposition to those who try to live a clean life and always have some excuse for not doing the right thing. Fault Finders, these you keep away. Know that this world (Devil’s Civilization) is only sport and play; vying in the multiplication of wealth and children.

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE HOLY QUR’AN, CHAPTER 33 VERSES 31, 32, 33, 35, 36

Quote:

31 And whoever of you is obedient to Allah, and His Apostle, and does good, He will give her her reward double, and He has prepared for her an Honorable Sustenance.

32 “O, wives of the Muslims and the Apostles, you are not like any other of the women; if you will be on your guard. Then be not soft in your speech (to men) lest he who have the seed of adultery in his heart yearn for you; But, speak a good word, and leave not an opening for diseased-hearted men.

33 And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorant Christians of Yore. And keep up Prayer and Spend in the way of ALLAH, and obey ALLAH, and His Apostle; ALLAH only desires to take away the uncleanliness from you and to purify you a thorough purifying.

35 Surely the men who submit and the women who submit and the believing men and the believing women, and the obeying men, and the obeying women and the truthful men, and the truthful women, and the patient men and the patient women and the humble men and the humble women, and the alms giving men and the alms giving women, and the fasting men and the fasting women, and the men who guard their private parts, and the women who guard their private parts, and the men who remember ALLAH, and the women who remember ALLAH MUCH, ALLAH has prepared for them forgiveness and a mighty reward.

36 And it behooves not a believing man, and a believing woman that they have any choice in their matter. When ALLAH and His Apostle have decided, and whoever disobeys ALLAH and His APOSTLE, he surely strays off a manifest straying.

CUCUMBER EYE GEL

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Black Queens!

We should always try to look our absolute BEST! One way we can improve our appearance is by doing everything we can to eliminate puffiness under our eyes.

Periorbital puffiness is caused by several different factors. The most common is simply: aging. As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes thinner and the fluids that uphold our eyes begin to collect in this skin under the eyes.

Periorbital puffiness is usually more prominent upon arising from sleep. People who sleep on their stomachs have periorbital puffiness more often than people who sleep on their backs. And, people who sleep on their sides, generally have more periorbital puffiness in one eye than in the other.

This is because while we are sleeping in these positions, gravity causes fluids to build up and collect in the thin skin under our eyes. It is recommended that if one suffers from periorbital puffiness, she should sleep on her back and elevate her head with an extra pillow, in order to prevent these fluids from building up under her eyes.

You should make this change in your sleeping habits soon, Sisters, because if it is not remedied, after a few years, periorbital puffiness can become permanent!

There are other causes of periorbital puffiness, such as allergies, and eating salty foods.

The causes of allergies should try to be avoided by:

Staying indoors when pollen counts are highest, usually in mid-morning and early evening. Close the windows and run the air conditioner (window fans can draw in pollen and mold spores). If you go out, wearing eyeglasses or big sunglasses can help block pollen from your eyes. Driving? Keep the windows closed and run the air conditioner.
Limit your exposure to dust mites by encasing your pillows in allergen-impermeable covers. Wash bedding frequently in water that’s at least 130 F. If your mattress is more than a few years old, consider getting a new one. Old mattresses are often teeming with allergens.
Clean floors with a damp mop. Sweeping tends to stir up rather than get rid of allergens. Especially if a pet shares the house with you, consider replacing rugs and carpets, which trap and hold allergens, with hardwood, tile, or other flooring materials that are easier to clean. Go with blinds instead of curtains.
To stop mold from growing inside your home, keep the humidity under 50%. That might mean using a dehumidifier, especially in a damp basement. If so, clean the dehumidifier regularly. Clean your kitchen and bathrooms with a bleach solution.
If your pet is causing your allergies, try to keep it outside as much as possible. At the very least, keep it out of your bedroom. Don’t let it share your bed.
Don’t rub your eyes. That’s likely to make symptoms worse. Try cool compresses instead.

Periorbital puffiness due to salt can be eliminated by limiting your salt intake. Excess salt encourages fluid retention and may lead to puffy eyes.

Some temporary remedies for periorbital puffiness include cucumbers, wet tea bags, and potatoes, which are all natural astringents – chemical compounds that tends to shrink or constrict body tissues, thereby reducing puffiness.

You can simply grate a fresh potato and apply it to your eyes for about fifteen minutes. Or wet two teabags and put them in the freezer for fifteen minutes, then place them over your eyes until the swelling goes down.

Here is a recipe for cucumber eye gel, which significantly reduces periorbital puffiness in a relatively short amount of time.

CUCUMBER EYE GEL

Ingredients

2 oz aloe vera gel

1/2 large cucumber (peeled)

Directions

Blend cucumber.

Add aloe vera gel.

Refrigerate.

AL FATIHA (The Opening)

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
In the Name of Allah,
Master Fard Muhammad,
The Beneficent, The Merciful

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Black Goddesses!

We have many responsibilities as keepers of our houses, mothers of our children and caretakers of our husbands. We have to make numerous decisions throughout our days and we must seek wisdom, knowledge and understanding from our Creator in making decisions.

Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us that we are the people of the Holy Qur’an and the Poison Bible. Both Books are ours. They were written BY Our People, FOR Us. We must use the wisdom in each Book for our Benefit.

The First Chapter in The Holy Qur’an is entitled “The Opening” (Al Fatiha in Arabic) and it was written specifically for Us, The So-Called Negroes in America. According to Message To The Blackman in America, “He (the so-called Negro) wants to be guided on the path of the Prophets of Allah where he can receive the favors of Allah. He has not as yet entered the congregational prayer service in the beautiful Mosques of the Holy Land of Islam to hear the caller of the faithful (early in the morning and five times a day) from the minarets of the Mosques.”

Al Fatiha is the Muslim’s Prayer for Guidance. Our Beloved Messenger (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us that ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE CREATED MUSLIMS. So yes, Dear Sister, this prayer is for you. You should memorize it so that whenever you need Guidance from Allah (God), you will be able to pray it without having to go look it up.

Having this prayer in your mind, will make it much easier for you to hear Allah (God) speak to you. It will help you keep your mind free of irrelevant thoughts and help keep you focused on things of Divine.

“In the Name of Allah, the most Merciful, all praise is due Allah the Lord of the Worlds. The Most Merciful Master of the Day of Requital. Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. O Allah, guide us on the right path; the path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors, and not of those upon whom thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray. Amen.”

LANGUAGE

“A foolish woman is clamorous – She is simple and knoweth nothing. So I said I will take heed to my ways that I sin not with my tongue.”

We, as M. G. T. [Asiatic Blackwomen], must strive to speak calmly, softly and distinctly. Your words should be carefully chosen and spoken in quiet tones (think five times before speaking).

Do not be snappy with others regardless of how you feel, as it shows weakness and lack of self control. Boisterous, loud voices are a sign of vulgarity and shows a lack of refinement. We do not laugh loud, but rather softly. Do not belittle others or laugh when they have made an error. Do not laugh when you have made an error, as it shows a lack of understanding on your part. It is also rude.

Do not become loud and boisterous when being corrected for an error you have made, rather take the correction calmly, intelligently and gracefully as this is a civilized attitude.

When making suggestions, to anyone, keep them in the form and tone of suggestions and do not make them sound like orders.

When in public, we keep our voices low and use proper words to express ourselves. This applies also when in the presence of brothers, speak softly to them, not loud or noisily.

Avoid anger, as it tends to make you lose control and possibly say things for which you may later be sorry. Anger brings out the worst in you. This is a negative emotion and it shows a lack of self control.

“And in their mouth was found no guile for they were without fault before the throne of God.”

Some Facts About “GOSSIP”

1. What’s easy to say may be hard to bear.

2. What you don’t see with your eyes, don’t invent with your mouth.

3. It’s easier to hear a secret than to keep it.

4. A tongue can be a dangerous weapon.

5. If you want to find out what’s happening in your house, talk to your neighbors.

6. Loose tongues are worse than wicked hands.

7. Our ears often don’t hear what our mouths say.

8. Run from gossip as you run from Danger.

9. Gossip is the most common of human habits and causes the most trouble.

10. People eat and drink together, yet pierce each other.

11. Your friend has a friend, and your friend’s friend has a friend (so be discreet).

12. From a man’s mouth you can tell what he is.

13. Gossip: Nature’s telephone.

14. The whisperer separates friends.

In the Name of Allah,
Master Fard Muhammad,
Our Most Beneficent and Merciful Saviour,
To Whom We Forever Give All Holy Thanks and Praise

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Sisters!

I heard a while ago that anti-perspirants can cause cancer due to the effect they have on our sweat glands. Anti-perspirants prevent the sweat glands from releasing sweat and this can cause the build-up of toxins which can lead to cancerous tumors. I just read an article on antiperspirants/deodorants and cancer from the National Cancer Institute and basically they said that more research needs to be done on the subject. It seemed like they didn’t want to say it had been proven. But the article stated this: “Findings from a different study examining the frequency of underarm shaving and antiperspirant/deodorant use among 437 breast cancer survivors were released in 2003. This study found that the age of breast cancer diagnosis was significantly earlier in women who used these (shaving and antiperspirant/deodorant) products and shaved their underarms more frequently. Furthermore, women who began both of these underarm hygiene habits before 16 years of age were diagnosed with breast cancer at an earlier age than those who began these habits later. While these results suggest that underarm shaving with the use of antiperspirants/deodorants may be related to breast cancer, it does not demonstrate a conclusive link between these underarm hygiene habits and breast cancer.”

You see, it hasn’t been proven that anti-perspirants/deodorants cause breast cancer but “the use of antiperspirants/deodorants may be related to breast cancer”. You know what I think? I think the companies that manufacture anti-perspirants/deodorants are in league with the doctors who release such vague and ambiguous statements. As Our Beloved Messenger (PBUH) wrote in HOW TO EAT TO LIVE, BOOK TWO, the devil will sell us anything he can commercialize on with no regard concerning the harm that it is doing to us. And he will take whatever steps necessary to ensure that nothing interferes with his ability to get rich off of his potentially life-threatening product.

So, while they continue to sell these products which are “related to breast cancer”, I think it is better to be safe than sorry.

Do not shave under your arms. In the M.G.T. & G.C.C. (Muslim Girls’ Training and General Civilization Class) we are taught to never shave our pubic hairs. We trim them with scissors.

This article proves the wisdom in such teachings given to us decades ago.

It would also be wise to start making your own 100% Natural Deodorants for yourself and your family.

Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) is an excellent odor absorber and works very well as a deodorant. All you have to do it mix it with a little water to make a paste and you can use it just like that. It does not eliminate wetness, however.

I found a recipe for a more moisturizing All-Natural Homemade Deodorant and made it when I first started trying to live healthier and eliminated all personal products that contain toxins. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

This recipe calls for something called Arrowroot. However, I have seen other recipes that use cornstarch. If I had known that, I would have used Cornstarch, which is significantly cheaper. I think next time I might use Cocoa Butter too. I like it better than Shea.

Here is the recipe for your own homemade Deodorant:

INGREDIENTS

3 T Coconut Oil

2 T Shea Butter

3 T Baking Soda

2 T Arrowroot (or Cornstarch)

Essential Oils (optional)

DIRECTIONS

In a glass jar, in a pot with a little water, melt Shea Butter and Coconut Oil over low heat.

Add Essential Oils and mix.

Add dry ingredients.

Let set.

Congratulations! You have just made SHEA BUTTER Deodorant. And every time you use it you can rest easy knowing you are not polluting your body with harmful, toxic chemicals.

*UPDATE*

I NO LONGER MAKE THIS DEODORANT, BEING HOMELESS, IT’S DIFFICULT TO GET THE INGREDIENTS. THE MAIN INGREDIENT IS BAKING SODA, SO I JUST MIX BAKING SODA WITH WATER OR OLIVE OIL, IF I HAVE IT, AND APPLY IT UNDER MY ARMS.

IT WORKS JUST AS WELL.

BETTER EVEN, BECAUSE SOMETIMES, I WOULD GET IRRITATION FROM THE DEODORANT. I’M NOT SURE WHY. ALL YOU NEED IS THE BAKING SODA.

BUT IF YOU WANT THE CONVENIENCE OF ALREADY PREPARED DEODORANT, GO AHEAD.

TEA TREE OIL

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful

tea-tree-oil

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Sisters!

PLEASE CLICK THE BOOK COVER BELOW

I just wanted to share an enlightening experience I had with Tea Tree Oil earlier this year.

Around the first of March, my son noticed he had a lump on the side of his neck. He told me about it, but I didn’t think too much of it. The next day it was significantly larger and grew increasingly bigger over the next few days.

I took him to the doctor and she said it was his lymph nodes and that it should start to decrease in size and should be completely gone within another week or so. A week passed but the huge lump in his neck grew larger still. I took him back to the doctor and the doctor prescribed some antibiotics and told us if it did not start to go down within a couple of days, I should take him to the hospital.

I gave Hakim the antibiotics on schedule, but the mass grew larger still. It was becoming difficult for him to move his neck and was becoming increasingly painful. I took him to the Emergency Room at Children’s Hospital.

After what seemed like an eternity, we were finally seen, however instead of just examining him and sending us back home, the triage nurse sent us deeper within the bowels of the hospital where we had to wait to be seen by a doctor.

Eventually, we were seen but the doctor wasn’t sure what the lump was so he ordered a chest x-ray. After the x-ray, we sat in his room for about three hours before we heard anything. Finally, the nurse came and said the doctor had ordered a CT scan!

Now, it was about 2:00 in the morning, and no one had even told me anything concerning the chest x-ray. I told this to the nurse and she seemed irritated and told me, we could have the CT scan or continue to wait to see the doctor.

Now, Our Beloved Messenger (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him) taught us that x-rays cause cancer. So, I was hesitant to allow them to perform the first x-ray, but the doctor said he couldn’t make a diagnosis without the proper tests. So, I acquiesced.

But now, they wanted more x-rays and without even telling me why. So, I told the nurse I would wait to talk with the doctor.

Hakim was sleeping when the doctor came to speak to me. He took me into a consultation room and very gently told me that they were concerned that the lump in my son’s neck might be cancer. I was not surprised. Deep down, I had a feeling that there was a possibility it could be cancer. So, I was very composed me when he gave me that horrible news.

However, after he left, I went back in the room and had a good cry. I felt like I was getting worked up over nothing, because there was also the possibility that it was not cancer. But, I’ve always been a Drama Queen and this situation clearly was an excuse to get dramatic. So, I cried.

Hakim had the CT scan, but the results were inconclusive. The doctors just didn’t know what is was. The only thing left to do was for my precious baby to undergo surgery to take a biopsy. So the doctors could accurately diagnose him.

He was admitted into the hospital. It was a Friday night/Saturday morning and the oncology doctor informed me that they usually don’t perform surgeries on the weekends unless the patient’s life depended on it. Of course, I thought Hakim’s life depended on it, but the doctors conceded his surgery could wait until Monday.

So, I tried not to worry and Hakim took full advantage of Room Service and the touch-screen computer at his disposal while we passed the weekend.

Monday morning arrived and the time came for his scheduled surgery. I was a wreck. I know the devil uses every chance he can get to kill Black People, so I questioned and questioned every doctor, nurse, technician and every body else until I finally saw a Black doctor, right as they were wheeling Hakim into the operating room.

Of course, I said something to him. I said, “Finally! A BLACK DOCTOR!”

He said, “Yes, I’m not just another doctor, I’m The Chief!”

At first, I didn’t believe him.

But then he asked Hakim’s operating team, which doctor was performing the surgery? The doctor acknowledged himself and The Chief seemed pleased. Then he asked Hakim how old he was, just making small talk to put him at ease. But Hakim was already under the influence of the anesthetics and was barely cognizant of his surroundings.

So, they wheeled Hakim into surgery and I felt 1000% per cent better knowing that Hakim’s surgeon knew The Chief was overseeing his operation on my Beloved Son.

After they wheeled Hakim into the operating room, I was unsure of where to go, so The Chief told me he would personally escort me to the Parents’ Waiting Room.

Hakim’s surgeon told me the operation would be about thirty minutes.

That was the longest thirty minutes of my life. It felt like days. I made small talk with some of the hospital’s Black employees and Trusted In My Saviour.

Finally, I was called to return to the operating room to consult with the doctor.

He gave me the Best News of my life. Hakim did not have cancer.

I kind of knew Allah would not do that to me. Hakim is His Friend and He loves him too much to make him go through cancer. But it was still a relief to get the news.

Hakim had to stay in the hospital a couple more days, while the doctors observed him to ensure he didn’t have any adverse effects from the surgery. They also gave him more antibiotics intravenously. But after a long five-day-stay at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, we were finally given the authorization to go home (with more antibiotics).

The antibiotics didn’t work. I gave him the required doses, all at the proper times, but the infection lingered. So, when the month of May dawned, and the lump showed no signs of dissipating, I began to research more wholistic cures for infections.

I learned that many microorganisms have become resistant to modern medicinal antibiotics. They call them “super bacteria.” I also learned that prior to the advent of “modern medicine,” Tea Tree Oil was commonly used to treat bacterial infection.

I happened to have some in my kitchen apothecary. So, I just dipped a cotton ball in some olive oil and put one or two drops of Tea Tree Oil and affixed it to his neck with some surgical tape. He wore it as long as he could stand it during the day and when he went to sleep. After a couple of days, the lump was completely gone.

I had done what surgery, antibiotics, and five days in the hospital couldn’t do; with something completely natural.

According to Wikipedia:

The indigenous Bundjalung people of eastern Australia use “tea trees” as a traditional medicine by inhaling the oils from the crushed leaves to treat coughs and colds. They also sprinkle leaves on wounds, after which a poultice is applied. In addition, tea tree leaves are soaked to make an infusion to treat sore throats or skin ailments.

Characteristic of the myrtle family Myrtaceae, it is used to distill essential oil. It is the primary species for commercial production of tea tree oil (melaleuca oil), a topical antibacterial. It may be effective for treating fungal infections such as Athlete’s foot.

“Tea tree oil has been scientifically investigated only recently. Some sources suggest beneficial medical properties when applied topically , including antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic qualities. The antiseptic properties can help treat skin blemishes (acne). It also has beneficial cosmetic properties.

“Also, there is clinical evidence that topical dermatological preparations containing tea tree oil may be more effective than conventional antibiotics in preventing transmission of CA-MRSA.

“Recent studies support a role for the topical application of tea tree oil in skin care and for the treatment of various diseases and conditions. Tea tree oil appears to be effective against bacteria, viruses, fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, mites such as scabies, and lice such as head lice. A 2008 study of in vitro toxicity showed a tea tree oil preparation was more effective against head lice than permethrin, a popular pharmaceutical remedy.

“Tea tree oil is possibly effective against acne. In the treatment of moderate common acne, topical application of 5% tea tree oil has shown an effect comparable to 5% benzoyl peroxide. Albeit with slower onset of action, patients who use tea tree oil experience fewer side effects than those that use benzoyl peroxide treatments.

“Tea tree oil is a known antifungal agent, effective in vitro against multiple dermatophytes found on the skin. Shampoo with 5% tea tree oil has been shown to be an effective treatment for dandruff due to its ability to treat Malassezia furfur, the most common cause of the condition.

“One clinical study found that 100% tea tree oil administered topically, combined with debridement, was comparable to clotrimazole in effectiveness against onychomycosis, the most frequent cause of nail disease. It was not as effective at lower concentrations.

“The effectiveness of topical tea tree oil preparations for the treatment of the yeast infection Candidiasis is supported by its ability to kill Candida in vitro.

“There is some very limited research that has shown that tea tree oil may have in vitro antiviral activity against the Tobacco Mosaic Virus, some strains of Herpes Simplex, and some bacteriophage viruses.”

Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) vehemently stressed the importance of The So-Called Negroes DOING SOMETHING FOR SELF! We will never be considered as a free people, equal with the civilized societies of the earth, unless we qualify ourselves and do and have the same things those people have.

We must instill in our children the desire to DO SOMETHING FOR SELF, so they will not be like their parents – dependent upon the slavemaster for everything they need. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him) taught us in MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA (page 39): “My people should get an education which will benefit their own people and not an education adding to the “storehouse” of their teacher.”

Our children must develop an entrepreneurial spirit and free themselves of the idea of getting an education just to get a high-paying job. They must be instructed to think in terms of The Black Nation as a whole. That is the only way we can build a Nation. If each person only thinks in terms of self, then we will not progress.

Many of our youth are captivated by sport and play. They want to grow up to be a rapper or an athlete or marry a rapper or athlete. If everyone is making music or playing sports, who is going to build our factories? Who is going to cultivate our farms? Who is going to make our shoes and clothes? If we don’t lead and guide our children to think in terms of careers that will be productive then we will forever be dependent on the devil (whiteman).

An excellent way to expose your children to the idea of becoming producers, as opposed to consumers, is to schedule a factory tour. So they can bear witness to productivity in action. Factory Tours USA has a listing of all of the corporations that offer public tours of their facilities. I have scheduled a tour for my family of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and “The Los Angeles Times” Newspaper. Those were the only two nearby that are conducive to building a Nation. The rest were wastes of time like beer and candy factories. When choosing a tour, make sure you keep Nation-Building in mind. The Possibilities Are Endless!

Homemade Personal Cleansing Cloths (Wipes)

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Refined Black Sisters!

It is a well-known fact that “Cleanliness is Next to Godliness.” And, as the Aboriginal Black Woman, we should let no woman beat us in anything when it comes to intelligence and cleanliness. This includes our surroundings and ourselves. Our homes should be spotless at all times, so that we could eat off the floor, if need be.

We should bathe or the equivalent every night before we get in the bed. It is best to bathe before getting in the bed because you don’t want to put on clean night clothes and get in a clean bed with a dirty body. So, we should get in the habit of taking a bath every night before we pray and go to sleep.

Personally, I have gotten to the point where I really look forward to my nightly baths. I play soft music and put a couple of drops of Lavender Essential Oil in the water. It is also nice to bathe by candlelight. I used to use bubble bath, but ever since I’ve started trying to limit the amount of toxins I absorb into my body, I have decided to omit the store bought bubble bath. I have not found a recipe for homemade Bubble Bath as yet, however, the experience is just as relaxing without the bubble bath.

***UPDATE***

I started using bubble bath again. I just try to make sure it doesn’t have too many harmful ingredients. And steer clear of 99 cents store bubble bath with the Proposition 65 Warning. I really love Bath & Body Works Lavender Bubble Bath or whatever it’s called. I don’t remember what’s in it but something that makes you feel that good can’t be that bad for you. And if it is, I’m just going to balance it by eating properly and using other products that aren’t harmful. Sometimes I use dishwashing liquid when I don’t have any bubble bath. Avon is good too.

Since we are such busy creatures, keeping house, raising children and taking care of our husbands, I believe Our Saviour, Allah, delights in us pampering ourselves and taking a little time to relax and reward ourselves after a hard day of housework.

When I marry my Zawji, we plan to have a big enough bathtub so that we can do our ablutions together.

But I digress. Cleanliness is an area about which we should be almost obsessive. We should not be able to sit down unless our house is immaculate. And we should be just as thorough about personal cleanliness as well.

Our clothes should always be completely clean and unsoiled, mended and properly pressed. And they should also always be put on a clean body. We should make every effort to maintain personal hygiene and keep ourselves as clean and fresh as possible throughout the day. One important way we can ensure that we are completely clean and odorless is by using Personal Cleansing Cloths after visiting the privy.

They are also good for freshening up during menstruation.

Personal Cleansing Cloths are very easy to make and do not contain harsh chemicals and toxins found in store bought wet wipes. Also, by using personal cleansing cloths you will never be ashamed by any embarrassing and unsanitary stains found in your undergarments ever again. They are extremely safe and gentle enough to use on your precious Black babies.

INGREDIENTS

1 roll of heavy duty paper towels (the cheap kind won’t work for these)

Round plastic container with lid. The taller the better. I use a large pitcher.

2 Cups Hot Water

4-5 T Black Soap (grated)
(You should get your African Black Soap from TAJ MAHAL on Crenshaw and 57th. They have the best prices. Their website doesn’t offer the authentic African Black Soap (as shown in the picture) but you can get a big block (about four of the bars in the picture) for only $12.00. They also sell the size in the picture for $3.00, I think. Just call them and ask them to send you the REAL AFRICAN BLACK SOAP. Tell them you want the kind that comes wrapped in plastic wrap.)

2 T Aloe Vera

2 T Witch Hazel

3 T Olive, Almond, Jojoba or any Oil or combination of Oils

1 T Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter

*You can vary the amounts depending on the size of your wipes

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the roll just enough so it fits into your container. If you cut the roll in half, your wipes will be rather small and rectangular.

2. Place the wipes, cut side down in container.

3. Dissolve Black Soap and Cocoa Butter in hot water.

4. Add Aloe Vera, Oil and Witch Hazel. Mix well.

6. Pour mixture over paper towels and let absorb. You can flip it over to cover the entire area. This should take about five-ten minutes.

7. Pull out the cardboard and one paper towel from the inside of the roll. This will get your roll started for you.

These wipes are MUCH better quality than ANY brand I have ever bought from the store. Not to mention that they are better for your health. You can use them without worrying about harmful chemicals and relish in the fact that you are improving your and your family’s measure of cleanliness, which is one of the greatest enjoyments we can have.

As-Salaam-Alaikum!

Master Fard Muhammad,
To Whom We Forever Give Praise and Thanks

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Intelligent Sisters!

Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us that the Original Language of The Aboriginal Black Nation of the Planet Earth is ARABIC. Arabic is the Language of Allah. It is the Language in which Our Holy Book, The Glorious Holy Qur-an Sharrieff, was revealed.

Our Lessons Teach us that:

“The root of civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecca, which means where wisdom and knowledge of the original man first started, when the planet was found.”

Conclusively, since the Root of Civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecca, then the Language of the Original Man – The Asiatic Blackman – is Arabic.

You may disagree with this bit of history, which is understandable, because the devil has not confirmed it. But consider this… One MUST be a Muslim to enter the City of Mecca. If the whiteman cannot even enter the city, how can he determine how old it is???

Our Lessons originated with The Originator of the Universe. Who would know better than He where the Root of Civilization is located? You Can Take It or Leave It. But your disbelief does not detract from the Truth one iota. It just makes you a disbeliever.

With the Knowledge that Arabic is our Original Language, we should take the proper steps to master this Divine Language. Fortunately for you, the whole world of information is just a click away.

With a little determination, you can learn anything you desire through the resources available to you on the Internet. If you are Homeschooling, or if you are not Homeschooling, you should ensure your child spends quality time on the computer and does not waste time and energy playing silly games which require no thought thinking.

Young children pick up languages very quickly. The earlier you begin the better. If you learn along with them, you can converse with each other. And it is very cool to be out in the public where no one but you and your child understand what you’re saying to each other!

Not to mention the cognitive benefits of speaking a second or multiple languages. According to this article:

“The collective evidence from a number of studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function — a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems and performing various other mentally demanding tasks. These processes include ignoring distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another and holding information in mind — like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.”

Learning a foreign language will make your children better equipped for immediate and future success and will give them the mental tools they will need for governing in the Hereafter. It will also be beneficial to you. The above study indicates that:

“Individuals with a higher degree of bilingualism — measured through a comparative evaluation of proficiency in each language — were more resistant than others to the onset of dementia and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease: the higher the degree of bilingualism, the later the age of onset.”
