Why Muslim Women Adhere
Strictly to Laws of Islam

By Bayyinah Sharrieff

LIFE IN THE SUDAN

     The females with whom I lived in the girls’ hostel in the University of Khartoum, Sudan, were able to differentiate right from wrong, truth from falsehood with just a glance. They would not even deliberate on something which seemed contrary to the laws of Islam. They refused to show a sign of interest in a subject if it did not agree with their Islamic upbringing.

     I TURNED 21 years of age in the Republic of the Sudan. I wanted to celebrate my birthday. As I spoke of the approaching celebration and of my plans for a large party with drinks and music, my female colleagues at the university questioned me as to why I wanted to celebrate my birthday. They thought it was a silly idea.

     I wondered myself. Why did I celebrate my birthday? Because the people in America (where I was born) celebrated birthdays, was my answer. They continued to question me. Why would the Americans celebrate achieving another year unless they doubted their chances of living another year? Were they afraid that they would not live to an old age and achieve much wisdom?

     I felt very silly and ignorant after their questions, because I did not know why Americans celebrated birthdays.

     I MADE arrangements to celebrate my birthday in the home of the Nigerian embassy’s secretary. His wife was a young woman, and she was one of my best companions in the Sudan. There was one Muslim girl (Sudanese) named Leila (a medical student at the university) who listened to my plans and helped me select the menu and the decorations for the party. She lived near the Nigerian family’s home, and she helped me decorate the garden and the home for the party.

     When I invited some of my colleagues to the party, they again questioned me: What time would the party start? Would we be back in the hostel before dark? I had planned for the party to start after dark. From this fact alone, they informed me that they would not be able to attend the party.

     They asked where it was to be held? The neighborhood in which the Nigerian family lived was good, but the family was not Muslim, it was Christian. The girls said their families would not approve of them going to a non-Muslim home.

     THEY NEXT asked me who would be there? When I told them that I had invited some of the male students from the university, they said a big NO! They would definitely not come to the party.

     They could not attend a party in the presence of men without their relatives. Some of my female colleagues were insulted by my invitation and asked me what kind of persons did I think they were to invite them to such a party with men at night. This was the habit of prostitutes. Even my friend Leila left soon after the party began.

     The party was a failure. Only two Christian girls and one Sudanese girl (who had been raised in America) came to the party. The number of males present greatly outnumbered the number of females present. I tried to get them to dance, but they refused. The Nigerian lady and myself were the only two females at the party after 9 p.m.

      THE SUDANESE thought I was ridiculous to celebrate my birthday. It was not until I joined the Nation of Islam and became a follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that I realized why the Muslims do not celebrate birthdays.

     The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the Nation of Islam has no birth record. It has no beginning nor ending. Why then would a Muslim celebrate achieving another year when their years are not numbered nor their time limited.

     The Honorable Elijah Muhammad instructs us that we should not celebrate the days of our birth for we are of the original man, who has no birth record. Islam is the natural religion of the Black man. We are links in a continuous chain.

     THE HONORABLE Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the white man’s time to rule the Black man is limited and that at the end of his time, the God of freedom, justice and equality (Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are Due Forever) would come and the white man’s power of unequaled justice would be broken, and he would be destroyed.

     This God Has Come and is present, so the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us. We can see that the white man’s power is disintegrating daily: His unstable dollar. His lack of gold. His unstable government and the confusion of his people. Therefore knowing that his time is limited, he thus celebrates the achievement of completing a year every time he does so.

     If we celebrate birthdays we are following in the way of the devil (white man). The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has the clear evidence and is the plain warner that we should not follow in the way of the devil, i.e. practice what the white man practices, when it contradicts with the religion, and when it is not in accord with the Islamic way of life.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful Asiatic Black Sisters,

I am the most progressive person I know when it comes to male/female roles. But I was born in the year nineteen hundred and seventy-one, right when the Women’s Liberation movement was kicking in, so by the time I reached the age of consciousness, it was in full swing.

Feminism is/was deep-rooted. I was the girl who was always competing with the boys and usually triumphed victoriously. So, you know I was the poster child for “Girl Power.” It’s funny because I never thought of myself as a tomboy. I just thought I was “athletic.” That “Girl Power” competitiveness can be very destructive in relationships, however. Sisters, we should not be trying to “beat” our husbands or any Blackman, in general. We should recognize our place and submit to them not just physically, but mentally as well. We must view our marriages and the Black family at large, as a team, where every member knows their position. Through teamwork, when one of us wins, we all win.

I didn’t realize how seriously I had been poisoned by white devil feminism until one day I was at the Social Security office and I was crocheting some house shoes while I waited. There was a little original Sister, about 9 or ten, who was absolutely engrossed by my activity.

I struck up a conversation. (love the babies). We talked about crocheting (she thought I was “knitting”) and our roles as women. Surprisingly, she agreed with the nature of the woman to stay home after she gets married and bears children. She told me she wanted to be a teacher.

During the course of our desultory exchange, I learned that she has an older sister who is deaf. I got really excited because she told me she knew a few signs!

Now, I have been studying American Sign Language (ASL) since 2008, but never could grasp the differences in the male and female signs. I would always get them mixed up, until this little nine-or-ten-year old Sister, made me feel foolish.

She did the sign for mother – the correct way – on the chin. I shook my head “No.” And she nodded her head, “Yes”.

I thought about it and realized I was wrong.

Knowing full well that the Black man has “more powerful brains” than the woman, still, I could not accept the differences in the signs. Subconsciously, not accepting the superiority of the Black man. It is difficult for me to even write this. But, it is true. The devil did a number on us. But Time Makes All Things Manifest.

Sign Language, probably because of the physical movement (body language) of acting out words and the message you are trying to convey, makes meanings very clear. Sometimes, when I sign what I am saying, it resonates more powerfully – deeply.

By forcing myself to internalize the differences between the male/female signs, it has brought me closer to humbling myself to the power and superiority of the Black God.

If you haven’t heard about this man, his name is Henry T. Sampson and he is responsible for the invention of the modern cellular phone that we would all be lost without today. Yes, that’s right, the cellular phone was invented by a Black man. Teach your children. But can you imagine if we had our own country, the things that we could accomplish. No nation on earth would be able to fuck with us.

“LIGHTING SOMEONE ELSE’S CANDLE WON’T MAKE YOURS ANY DIMMER.”

“IT WILL JUST MAKE EVERYTHING BRIGHTER!”

Someone is friendless and cannot find their way
So I keep my light in my window
I want to be there to help restore their faith
So I keep my light in my window
But for God’s mercy –
I’d be in their place
So I keep my light in my window

So, I can ease the pain that life can bring
Help them find the peace their spirit needs
I have been chosen for a work to do
To make a world of LOVE
For me and you
(BLACK PEOPLE ONLY AGAIN, AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING).

Some call me foolish to lend a helping hand
But I’ll, keep my light in my window
I feel so good when I help my fellow Blackman (& woman)
So I’ll, keep my light in my window
Till love and mercy shine throughout the land
So I’ll, keep my light in my window

‘Cause I wanna ease the pain that life can bring
Help you find the peace your spirit needs
I have been chosen for a work to do
To make a world of love
For me and you
(BLACK PEOPLE ONLY AGAIN, AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING).

(repeat)

 

I REALLY WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO BLOCK THE DEVILS FROM MY BLOG. I WILL BE SO HAPPY WHEN THEY ARE DESTROYED NEVER TO POLLUTE OUR PLANET EVER AGAIN.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE CHANGE OF SEASONS

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

change_of_seasons_by_silveryn1

AS-SALAAMU ‘ALAIKUM!

I used to think that, “How was your Summer?” was the saddest combination of words in the English Language, I LOVED SUMMER SO MUCH, I never realized when it was over after I stopped attending school. Until one fateful day when someone casually asked me that dreadful question.

Now that I have accepted my own and can be myself, I love the change of seasons just like I love everything else in life. I love everyday. The surprise in never knowing what to expect! The promise of Allah’s Blessings make every day an adventure. I wake up optimistic and Allah Never Fails to Deliver on His Promises of MONEY, A GOOD HOME AND FRIENDSHIPS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE (Upon our submission to Him).

Al Hamdulillah! All Praise Is Due To Allah!

Being an M.G.T. (Muslim Girls’ Training) has made my life so wonderful, I can’t even find the words to express my joy. It is indescribable finally being yourself after growing up mentally dead. I was reared Christian. And in a way I am glad. Because I know both religions so I can contrast them as one who is informed. I ALWAYS LOVED GOD. But like every other Christian, I just didn’t know Who He Is. 😦

How could I know who God is, when I didn’t even know who I was?

But All Praise is Due to Allah for The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) for Teaching us the Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding that would give us the Power, Light and Life that we have wanted to know all of our lives.

I am doing my BEST to share with you, my Black Sisters, the things we need to know to be successful. But before you can even attempt to be yourself, you have to know whom yourself is. change of seasons treeALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE CREATED MUSLIM. WE ARE MUSLIMS WHEN WE ARE BORN.

THE SLAVEMASTERS TAUGHT OUR FOREPARENTS CHRISTIANITY AND THEY PASSED IT DOWN TO US. WE ARE BORN MUSLIMS. ISLAM IS THE NATURE IN WHICH WE WERE CREATED. BY CLAIMING TO BE CHRISTIANS, WE ARE ACCEPTING A RELIGION THAT IS OTHER THAN OURSELVES, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL. CHRISTIANITY IS A WHITEMAN’S RELIGION. THEY ORGANIZED IT TO MAKE SLAVES OF BLACKMANKIND AND WE HAVE SWALLOWED IT HOOK, LINE AND SINKER, TO THE POINT WHERE WE THINK WE ARE MORE CHRISTIAN THAN THE DEVILS WHO MADE IT UP.

When Allah (God) Created the Black Nation, He Gave Us ISLAM As A WAY OF LIFE. Islam is the way of life that Allah Gave Us When He Created Us. Do you think he would create us and not teach us HOW To Live And Serve Him???

Christianity did not come until 451 years ago. Why would God give people a religion so late in the game? Wouldn’t He know the future? Why not give us a religion from the beginning that will last forever? What kind of God has to change His religion? :/ Allah Has NEVER changed His religion. He Gave Us Islam in the beginning of the Universe and He Wants us to Practice ISLAM today. Our devil slavemasters did not and DO NOT want us to practice Islam. So, they did not and will NEVER teach us The Truth of It. They killed our parents, who were Muslims when they were brought here in chains, after they birthed their first babies, so that they could not teach their children their way of life.

This left the slavemasters free to teach us whatever they wanted to – a religion that would make us harmless slaves – known as Christianity. Christianity is not your religion, nor was it the religion of your righteous foreparents, Sisters. Give it back to your slavemaster along with his name and ACCEPT YOUR OWN –

Your Own Name – A HOLY NAME OF ALLAH THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER

Your Own Religion – ISLAM

Your Own God – ALLAH

And Your Own People – THE BLACK PEOPLE OF THE EARTH.

Unless you accept Islam, you will NEVER be successful. You can go through the motions but eventually (when the FIRE comes) none of it will matter unless you are a Muslim.

BELIEVE IT AND PRACTICE IT and then you can come back to the blog. THAT SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST PRIORITY.

*****

The world changed in the fifties and the sixties. This tumultuous decade brought about the Black Power Movement, wherein Black People united to protest against their second-class citizenship. The devil used this opportunity to utilize his sure-fire, time-tested tactic of divide and conquer to disrupt what little Black unity we had and, just as Our Beloved Messenger (PBUH) warned us he would do, used his woman as his last weapon.

All of a sudden, the devil woman is no longer content with being a housewife, she wants to go out and work like her husband. The Blackwoman, naturally attracted to her (opposite) enemy, follows suit, abandons the Black man and along with the infiltration of COINTELPRO, brings about an abrupt end to The Black Power Movement.

With integration came intermarriage and away went the days of decorum and traditional values. No one wanted to dress nice anymore. Jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes became acceptable attire whereas before it was suits and ties and laced-up dress shoes. No one cared about wearing colors that were in harmony with the time of year anymore. No one cared about too much of anything anymore. White men began to let their hair grow like they did when they were in the caves. And their loyal slaves followed suit. Once again the influence of Islam was taken in the wrong direction, with Black women wearing their hair natural but sticking out all over their head (Afro).

By the arrival of the Seventies, suits and ties, hats and gloves could only be seen on Sundays among the regular working class (poor). Casual had become the uniform. Women were competing with men in the workplace and the children were/are running amok.

ISLAM CIVILIZES YOU.

ISLAM CLEANS YOU UP.

ISLAM MAKES YOU RESPECTED BY THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

CHRISTIANITY MAKES YOU A SLAVE.

THERE IS NO SALVATION IN THE WHITE RACE’S CHRISTIANITY.

Once you accept your own (Islam), you can be yourself and return to your nature, Sisters. Islam proves to you that the traditional ways of living are correct. Some people think that in order to be traditional you cannot utilize the current forms of technology like the Internet and even cell phones. That is just plain foolish. Once, I asked my Great-Grandmother (who was born in 1901) what she thought about the technological changes (she remembered a time before indoor electricity) and she said, “Things just got better.” 

Technology (Internet and cell phones) allows us to communicate and gather information easier and much more efficiently. Lifestyle is the manner in which we live, such as the clothes we wear, the attainment, choices and preparation of the foods we eat, the decorating and maintenance of the homes we live in, and the manner in which we carry ourselves, including our language. THESE are the areas in which we need to return to tradition.

We must have a complete reversal in our way of thinking. First, comes Islam. Then everything else will fall into place. When you accept The NEW Islam and you can only receive that From The LAST and GREATEST Messenger of Allah – The Honorable and Humble Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him), you begin to recognize that this world is completely upside down. It is to the point where what is right is considered as wrong and what is wrong is accepted as right. “The devil [Caucasian] makes evil fair-seeming,” according to the Holy Qur-an.

I am at the point now, where my perspective is that, “If America likes it, I hate it. And if America hates it, I love it.”

It makes everything much simpler for me.

One of the first things I learned about The Nation of Islam is that the color of the Sisters’ Holy Garments corresponds with the Seasons of the Year. I remembered reading books and learning things like “You don’t wear white after Labor Day.” I thought that was cool, but didn’t really know anybody who subscribed to that Law. I knew there was something known as “Winter White” which I assumed was the acceptable white to be worn after Labor Day. But I didn’t know anybody who cared about such social conventions. The following is a list of some of the things we should do around the house as the Seasons Change.

****

*DO A THOROUGH “SPRING” CLEANING

*REARRANGE FURNITURE

*CHANGE LINEN (BEDSPREAD, CURTAINS, BATHROOM TOWELS, RUGS AND SHOWER CURTAIN) TO COORDINATE WITH THE SEASON (SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER)

*PACK UP SUMMER OR WINTER CLOTHES

*BREAK OUT AUTUMN OR SPRING CLOTHES

AUTUMN IS THE BEST TIME TO RE-STOCK PAPER AND OFFICE PRODUCTS (BACK TO SCHOOL)

*RINSE OFF YOUR HOUSE

*MAKE SURE TO KEEP FRESH FLOWERS IN THE KITCHEN, DINING ROOM AND LIVING ROOM

***REMEMBER JUST BECAUSE THE WEATHER WARMS UP DOES NOT MEAN YOUR CLOTHES COME OFF!!! WEAR COOL FABRICS LIKE LINEN AND OTHER BREATHABLE FABRICS IN WARMER WEATHER AND NO SANDALS!***

CHARITY = LOVE

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيمTHE BIBLE

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Sweet, Holy, Black Sisters,

This has always been my favorite passage of scripture but it still surprised me, when after over thirty years, I decided to look it up and remembered exactly where it could be found.

Although we’re all used to calling the Bible Holy, it is far from it. Holy is something that has not been diluted, mixed or tampered with in any form and we just cannot say this of the poison Bible. However, there is Truth in it, but it must be REINTERPRETED BY ONE WHO WAS TAUGHT THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE WISDOM OF THE BOOK. 

Please do not read the Bible in any capacity until after you have read MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA. There is a guide to understanding The Bible in the back of the book.

1 Corinthians 13

King James Version (KJV)

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
