THE DISBELIEVERS
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Say: O disbelievers, I serve not what you serve,
Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve,
Nor shall I serve that which ye serve,
Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve.
For you is your recompense and for me my recompense.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Sisters of the Asiatic Black Nation of the Tribe of Shabazz!
Dear Sisters, my son, Hakim is studying Chemistry and in his lessons today, he learned about acids and bases. The text mentioned pH, but it did not go into the details of what pH means.
Now, I’m sure we have all heard the term “pH” or “pH balanced” all our lives, right? I know I have. But I never knew what pH and pH balanced meant.
So, I just asked Google. I cannot express how much delight I feel due to the technology of today. We can ask Google anything! And I ask it any and everything I can think of. We have no excuse to ever not know anything anymore!!
But I digress, pH is an abbreviation for “potential Hydrogen” and it is a measure of a substance’s acidity or basicity. When an acid is added to water, hydrogen ions are released and combine with the hydrogen atoms in the water to form H3O+ or the hydronium ion. When a base is added to water, it forms OH- or the hydroxide ion.
The pH of a solution is a measure of the hydronium ion concentration in the solution. The scale ranges from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. If a substance has a pH above 7 it is a base and a pH below 7 is an acid. Water has a pH level of 7 which means it is Neutral.
Acids have a sour flavor, react with metals and conduct electricity. Lemons, limes and other citric fruits have citric acid. Ascetic acid is the main ingredient in vinegar. The citric acid in Lemons has a pH of roughly 2.2.
Bases have a bitter flavor and a slippery feel. They are often used for cleaning or removing dirt and odors. Sodium hydroxide (lye) is the main ingredient in soap. Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) is well-known for its odor-removing capability. The pH of sodium hydroxide (lye) is 14.
But this still does not tell me what pH balanced means?
pH balanced is when the levels of acidity and basicity in a substance neutralize each other leaving the substance with a neutral pH of 7 – like water.
There has been a trend for the past few years, encouraging people to eat more alkaline or “basic” foods because most people have an unbalanced pH that leans more toward the acidic. This is due to the fact that most people eat acidic foods, like meat and potatoes and soda. Most fruits and vegetables are alkaline. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (PBUH) in his book How To Eat To Live, taught us that we should be vegetarians and eat only beans, certain types of fish, vegetables, fruits, whole-wheat bread, milk and butter. This will help maintain the pH balance in our digestive system.
Most health advocates say our pH should be slightly alkaline, probably to encourage people to stop eating so many acidic foods. While doctors, say “normal” is slightly acidic, probably because most people are slightly acidic. However, common sense tells you it should be 7 – NEUTRAL – Like water. Ideally, we should eat a balanced amount of acids and bases so that they neutralize each other, leaving us with a digestive pH of 7 – BALANCED.
I have yet to see a scientist or health advocate just come out and say this. But, you can test your urinary pH by using litmus paper which can be found at health food stores, so I’ve heard. I’m sure you remember using litmus paper when conducting experiments in school. It turns red for acids and blue for bases.
****
While the urinary pH is a measure of the balance of acids and bases in our digestive system, other areas of our bodies naturally have different pH levels. Our blood, for example, has an alkaline pH of 8, while the digestive juices in our stomachs have an acidic pH of 2.
We women, however, have a unique situation in that we have a very special area of our body that requires extra-special attention and tender loving care to maintain its acidic pH.
Our vagina is the conduit through which we bring new life to our Nation. It is the physical connection allowing us to become one with our husband. Sisters, it is crucial to maintain a healthy and productive vagina. A healthy vagina is naturally acidic with a pH of 3.5 to 4.5 and contains rich quantities of beneficial bacteria that help fend off infections and maintain a normal pH level.
Whenever we suffer from vaginal discomfort it is due to an imbalance in this very delicate and perfect part of our reproductive physiology. When the balance is disrupted, it can cause odor and discomfort. Accordingly, it is very important to maintain a healthy pH to reduce your risk of vaginal issues.
So, how do you maintain a healthy pH? The best way is knowing and preventing the factors that lead to an imbalance in its normal low acidic pH. Unfortunately, the main things that cause the pH to go up are the ordinary everyday things associated with it.
Semen has a pH of 8, which is a big jump from the 3.5 pH of the vagina. However, most of the pH issues that arise due to semen are as a result of sexual deviancy. So, this shouldn’t really be a problem for the Blackwoman because we are righteous by nature. However, if for some reason you do experience a condition termed Bacterial Vaginosis (where the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted and replaced by an overgrowth of certain bacteria), there are medications you can take to restore the balance.
As I mentioned earlier, blood has a pH of 8. So, during menstruation, you want to make sure you change your pad frequently. I change mine five times a day when I make wudu (ablution) before Hakim makes prayer. NEVER EVER USE TAMPONS. This is bad for your health and prevents the blood from leaving your body causing the vaginal pH to rise.
Soaps are made from Sodium hydroxide (lye), a base, and if overused can raise the pH of the vagina. Use soap sparingly. NEVER USE DOUCHES. Douching can interfere with the vagina’s pH levels, reducing its acidity and setting the stage for bacterial infections. If your vagina has a strong or unpleasant odor, see your doctor; a douche will only mask the smell without curing the underlying problem that’s causing it.
So Sisters, I hope I didn’t make you too uncomfortable reading this. But we members of The Nation of Islam, The Black Nation, are Scientists and it is important that we know and understand ALL of the Sciences in Life and sometimes they can be pretty uncomfortable. But knowing is always better than guessing. Educate yourself in all matters relating to your body, your home, your planet and your universe, so that you can better inform your children and also share your own wisdom with your Sisters and Brothers.
Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
AS-SALAAMU ‘ALAIKUM!
Sisters, I have a degree in Journalism, and consider myself well-versed when it comes to words, however, the difference between these two words was never taught to me in any of the Colleges nor the University I attended. So, I decided to look them up myself.
What I found out is that who and whom are both pronouns, however WHO is used when referring to the SUBJECT of a question and WHOM is used when referring to the OBJECT of a sentence/question.
For example, I could ask, “Who ate the last piece of Bean Pie?”
“Who” is the subject because it is referring to the person who ate the last piece of Bean Pie. The subject of a sentence is the person doing the action.
On the other hand, if I ask, “To Whom did you serve the last piece of Bean Pie?”
“Whom” is the object of the sentence because it is referring to the person to whom the action was directed.
Here is another example.
“Whom are you courting, Brother?”
The Sister who is being courted is the OBJECT of the courtship as well as the question, so it would be grammatically correct to use the pronoun WHOM.
Conversely, if you were to ask the Sister the same question, you would ask, “Who is courting you, Sister?”
The Brother who is doing the courting is the SUBJECT of the courtship as well as the question, so it would be grammatically correct to use the pronoun WHO.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Sisters!
Target has the Crock-Pot on sale for $14.99 now!
I cannot overemphasize how essential it is to own one of these. I bought my first one in 2006. I use it weekly and it still works perfectly. I had to glue the handle to the lid back on, but other than that, no complaints. 🙂
At this price, Sisters, you have no excuse not to buy one. By the way, I have not seen them at this low price since I bought mine in 2006.
Crock Pots are the ONLY way I know how to make Bean Soup. It is probably the easiest way, as well. So Sisters, do yourself a favor and JUMP on this item. You will never regret it, and your cooking will be ten times easier. I just bought two!
You can buy it here!

“When I first heard of Islam it was in Detroit Michigan, back in the early fall of 1931, and I heard that there was a man teaching Islam by the name of Mr. Wallace Fard. Well at that time, mostly, He used the initial Mr. W.D. Fard. That was in Detroit Michigan. And when I heard what was said, I wanted to meet Him. I finally met Him, and when I met Him, I looked at Him, and it just came to me like this; that this is the Son of Man that the Bible said, or prophesied, would come in the Last Days of the world. I couldn’t get that out of me. I shook hands with Him, and I said to Him, “You are the One that the Bible prophesies that would come at the end of the world under the name Son of Man and under The Second Coming of Jesus.
“He looked at me a little stern, and then He smiled, and He put His head down beside my head, then whispered in my ear and said these words, He said, ‘Yes, I am the One, but who knows that but yourself, and be quiet.’ He patted His hand on my shoulder, give me a kind of a little shove a way around him. There were more present and He started talking to some of them.
“About a month later, He told my wife to tell me to go ahead and start teaching out there in, what was then a little part, but now, I would say, a very large part of Hamtramck Michigan, outside of Detroit. Hamtramck is near Detroit, and I was living in Hamtramck at that time. So, He says to my wife, ‘You tell him that he can go ahead’, because I had wrote Him, and He received my letter and I was telling Him what I could not tell Him in the public. And then He said to me: ‘You go ahead and start teaching, and I will back you up.’
“I started teaching that He was the answer to the prophecy of the coming of Jesus two thousand years after Jesus’ birth, and that this is the Man, at that time. So, I did begin teaching that the Son of Man or the Second Coming of Jesus was present. This was He now, here among us.
“He didn’t allow me to go too far with that kind of teaching while He was present. He told me, ‘You can do that after I am gone.’ He said, ‘Don’t talk too much about Me now.’ He said, ‘Give them a little milk.’
“That’s the way He talked all the time; He never would just say anything hardly direct. He would give it to you in a way that you would have to learn just exactly what He meant by what He said. And so, He said, ‘You cannot give babies meat.’ I understood what He was referring to. And so He said, ‘Give the little baby milk.’ He said, ‘When I am gone,’ He said, ‘then you can say whatever you want to about Me.’
“Well, I was not too much learned into scripture at that time, and I had not studied too much, but I had, from a child up, wanted to learn the scripture, because my father was a preacher, and I always, from a child up, wanted to help him or take his place one day as a preacher.
“I was always studying the Bible. I had read much about the coming of the judgement and the coming of God and Jesus returning to resurrect the dead and all like that. I had studied much of that. All of His talk and teachings corresponded with what I had learned of the scripture; therefore, I had become one of His, I should say, convert one hundred percent.
“On His leave of us, He began to tell me what I may expect, what will come to pass, and what I should do to try and make my people qualified, rather to reform them and make them acceptable by the Islamic people. He told me to teach them that they must change completely in the way of righteousness, and that they would have to forego the names that they were in and that He would give them all a name Himself. There was much He said, much He said to me.
“He used to teach me night and day. We used to sit sometime from early part of the night until sunrise and after sunrise. He would teach all night long for about two years or more. He was with us three years and a little better and I was constantly around Him and He was constantly teaching me of things of Islam, and what is to come and what was before. This is the way that we began.
“He first gave me a name at that time of Karriem. He called me Elijah Karriem. Later, about a year before He left us, He gave me the name Muhammad. He changed my name. He said, ‘I will give you a better name than Karriem,’ He said, ‘You take Muhammad, My name.’ And so that was about it, and He named all of my family Muhammad.

Chapter 2
How to keep food from hurting us
I thank Allah in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, for bringing to us life and light so that we may be able to enjoy life, and to enjoy that life longer than we have previously enjoyed it.
Many years could be added to our lives if we only knew how to protect our lives from their enemies. As He (meaning Master Fard Muhammad) said to me, food keeps us here; it is essential that we eat food which gives and maintains life. That same food destroys life. Therefore, to keep this food from destroying our lives, we must protect our lives as well as we possibly can from the destruction of food. If we eat the proper food, and eat at the proper time, the food will keep us living a long, long time.
Eating three and four times a day is to your stomach as dripping water is to a stone or iron. The dripping water will eventually wear the stone and iron away. But, just to look at the water, it does not appear powerful enough in its dripping to wear the stone and iron away. It is the same with food; we continuously put it into our stomachs to be digested and eventually it will destroy the stomach. If we let our stomachs rest a while and gain strength, they will last longer in doing a job of digesting food for us.
EAT ONE MEAL a day and eat the food that will not harm you so quickly. You do not have to go into a long detailed knowledge of what foods you have to eat, because the wrong food has already been pointed out to you – foods such as pig, nuts, white flour, meats (of course, we eat some meats), the wrong kind of peas, the wrong kinds of breads, half-cooked breads, too many starchy foods, and too much sweets.
All of these foods destroy us. Bread should be cooked thoroughly and slowly, and if you have plenty of time, cook the bread two or three times and then eat it. Meat should also be cooked two or three times.
Eating great meals of highly seasoned and sugared pastries is definitely not good for us. They most surely will take years of our lives away. You may eat some sweets, but do not make an entire meal of sweets and eat them everyday. Fruit is good for us, we should eat plenty fruits.
To live a long time, eat once every 24 hours or once every 48 hours, if you are able to do so. But, if you have heavy, manual work to do, do not try to eat once every two or three days. And, if you eat once a day, you should fast every month for two or three days. By doing that, there will be no poison left in the body at the end of a year to make you sick even one hour.
I WOULD LIKE for you, who try to live and eat just as this book teaches you, to please send me a letter telling me of the results that you have gained from eating like this article teaches you. I repeatedly teach that the way Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, has Taught us to eat will do away with many doctor bills and do away with much maiming of the limbs caused by certain diseases.
Sugar diabetes can be controlled and cured if you only eat right. Stay off of sugar and starchy foods and leave those old, white potatoes alone. Do not eat spaghetti and macaroni at every meal. If you are overweight, do not eat it at any meal, and if you want to live a long time, do not eat it at any meal. Food such as spaghetti and macaroni is processed, not cooked thoroughly, and is hard to digest.
THERE ARE SOME people who claim that they do not receive beneficial results as they should. This is due to wrong mental food that they are eating, which has an effect on their digestive system. To get good results from eating the proper foods, we must have good thoughts.
