A BROKEN ROSE….

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

The Rose That Grew From Concrete

Has Sharp Thorns Now….

Tho’ No Longer A Baby

She Still Smells As Sweet

A Rose-Bud Has Blossomed

Into A Lovely Bouquet

Around Which Her CARETAKER,

ALLAH IN THE DIVINE PERSON

OF MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD,

TO WHOM PRAISES ARE DUE FOREVER,

HAS BUILT A STURDY FENCE….

– ONLY ONE HAS THE COURAGE AND THE INCLINATION

TO TACKLE THE WALL AROUND HER.

LIKE SLEEPING BEAUTY’S PRINCE,

HE STORMS IT WITH DETERMINATION –

ALL-THE-WHILE, NEW PETALS CONTINUE TO FORM

BRIMMING WITH CONFIDENCE THAT ONLY COMES

WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF SELF.

–

HER AROMA AND INTELLECT COMBINE TO BEGUILE HIM

BOTH GROWING STRONGER AS THEY AGE…

–

SO APPEALING….

THE HUMMING BIRDS & THE BEES DRINK HUNGRILY

FROM HER CONVERSATION.

SHE VALUES THEIR ADMIRATION.

WITH MORNING COMES

FRESH DEW, SUNSHINE AND ANTICIPATION.

“TODAY MY PRINCE WILL COME….

WITH HIS LIQUID SWORD,

HIS SHIELD

& SUIT OF ARMOUR

EVER-READY

TO PLUCK AND PROTECT ME!”

SO, SHE SPREADS HER LEAVES TO RECEIVE AND

WELCOME HIM TO HER CONCRETE JUNGLE.

– NEITHER UNAFRAID NOR INHIBITED BY HER THORNS

HE FERTILIZES THE CRACKS IN THE CEMENT

AROUND HER WITH THE HOPE THAT

SOMEDAY WILL ARRIVE AGAIN SOON,

BRINGING WITH IT NEW BEAUTY AND LIFE

TO THE DARK AND DESOLATE

METROPOLIS

WHERE ROSES SOMEHOW MANAGE

TO STILL FIND A WAY

TO GROW UP THROUGH CONCRETE….

TOMORROW

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Dearly Beloved and Beautiful Asiatic Sisters (and Brothers)

Last night my ears were ringing like crazy for over an hour and I know it was my hubby – THE KING – plotting his next move.

Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honourable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us in his Theology of Time lecture series (listen below), and many of us heard, growing up, that when your ears start ringing it means someone is talking about you or trying to get in touch with you. This is 100 per cent Right & Exact.

I don’t care about anyone else enough to be able to tune in to them (except my son, Hakim). So I know it had to be my Honey-Stick.

I feel horrible for causing him grief. Suicide is very selfish. I forgot all about my children, who would’ve been devastated. And, gave up on My One True Love – Completely inconsiderate of his Love for me.

I’m sorry, Sweetheart, you deserve to know the aftermathematics.

I was taken to the hospital for observation and placed on a 72-hour hold which extended to two and a half weeks.

I was discharged this past Tuesday, on the condition that I continue my treatment by participating in an intensive partial hospitalization outpatient program.

الحمد لله‎ I have been placed in transitional housing so am no longer homeless. And, it’s so sweet because it’s walking distance from Leimert Park!

The Day Program is wonderful. I get to travel out of the city every day except Sat & Sun and roll out to the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, which is therapeutic in itself. The air and the skyline is beautiful. Everytime I look at the skyline, it reminds me of Blue Jay. But, in a good way.

We are served a Continental Breakfast and then participate in group therapy sessions until we break for an healthy hour-long Lunch. Two more groups and another tranquil, wonderful ride home.

The Transitional Housing is cool too. I get along with my roommates well, but I’ve decided to make Lunch at the Program my one meal. It is healthier and more delicious than the meals we are served at the Transitional Housing.

I’m extremely happy and optimistic about opening this new chapter in my life, also relieved to be closing the dark chapter of homelessness and privation. btw Honey-Stick, I saw Andy right before I was hospitalized. I didn’t say anything. He was sans the glasses which is a good look for him. But I digress, I have nothing but good expectations about this new chapter, knowing how it’s going to end – MARRIAGE.

A week ago, I would’ve NEVER guessed that my life would have changed so dramatically in such a short amount of time, even considering how dramatic my life has always been.

I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOU’RE EXTENDING YOUR HAND TO ME. CONSIDER IT TAKEN. AND, KNOW THAT I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO. I CARRY IT IN MY HEART….

“The Restrictive Law is our Success.” #22
– The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (PBUH)

الحمد لله‎

ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH!

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Dearly Beloved Sisters & Brothers

I am so thankful to Allah to be able to sit and write these few lines. Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises are Due Forever, Is Obviously NOT finished with me yet, as you will see once I relate the incident of March 19, 2015.

I was haunting the train stations when I saw one of my hubby’s Doppelgangers.

For some reason, that I can only attribute to fear and stupidity, I disembarked from the train.

As I watched the train pull off, I had the sinking feeling that my future was heading – without me – to Union Station, my most favorite place in the whole world, next to The Jonathan Club. In sha Allah, I would like to marry there (or the JC) if it pleases THE KING. 😉

Anyway, I ended up feeling so alone, I just hopped on the next train that arrived: NORTH HOLLYWOOD.

I didn’t make it.

I got off at the very next stop and was horrified by my surroundings. It must’ve been the Hollywood or Sunset station because it was “decorated” with all of these horrible old reels from the reel-to-reel days and it was just so creepy and ugly.

This, coupled with the preceeding incident, led me to believe that I had entered a world devoid of beauty and also my hubby. Needless to say, I did not want to live in a world such as this and I tried to kill myself by jumping in front of a train.

However, I crouched down and waited, expecting the train to run into me and crush me to bits, but instead it rolled right over my head. You can imagine my disappointment. Well, maybe you can’t.

In any case, I’m still here, so I’m going to do what Allah put me here to do.

Spiritual Battlegrounds

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Dearly Beloved Sisters

ACTUAL FACTS BOARD

(Hear the Messenger of Allah teach this subject by clicking the picture)

Many people believe that the War going on today (Armageddon) is just physical. However, it is also spiritual (mental). Wherever we debate Truth vs. Falsehood it is a battleground.

Armageddon is a War between Truth and Falsehood. Truth is Islam. False is Christianity and every other religion.

Falsehood cannot survive in the face of TRUTH (Islam).

It is like night (falsehood) and day. When the light of the Sun (Truth) arrives you don’t see any more night (falsehood). It cannot survive.

The white race’s false religion is Christianity. They and all who follow them in their false religion will not survive. This war is the end of all wars. Islam is the only TRUE religion of Allah (God). And it is the only religion that will survive. All other religions will be destroyed.

The Black nation has the chance to be saved. We are Muslims BY NATURE. If we will Accept Our Own (Our own God – Allah, Our Own Religion – Islam and our own People – the Black People of the planet Earth) and Be Ourselves (Righteous Muslims) we will be saved. You must be a Muslim to see the Hereafter.

Obviously, wars take lives; this war can also save lives. If you understand and believe the Truth that was brought to the so-called American Negroes, out of all the people of Earth, FIRST, you can be saved. However, only the Aboriginal Black Nation of the Planet Earth will live forever.

Believe it or let it alone.

We will see.

The Smile That’s Reserved Exclusively For Me….

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Every morning,

The ONLY thing more beautiful than the Sun

Every night,

Gives Me Sweet Dreams

Until the

Morning Light….

What I live and breathe to see

The Smile

That no one else can see

Unless they’re looking at him

Looking at me.

(or thinking about me… 😉 )

I LOVE YOU, AMAD-JAMAL

BLACK HISTORY 365

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Dearly Beloved Black Sisters (and Brothers)!

If you are a product of the educational system of America, briefly, this system teaches us that Martin Luther King, Jr. was the greatest Blackman who ever lived and we should know who was the “First African-American” this or that, and that our history began with slavery. None of this is True.

If you were privileged enough to attend college and took some Black History courses, you may have learned about Ancient African civilizations. And, if you are truly interested in your own history, you may have taken the initiative to do some self-study and learned more than what is taught in school.

Once you have a full and complete knowledge of the History of the Black Nation (which can only be taught by our Creator) you will come to know that the whole idea of a Black History month is insulting. It is an affront, insinuating that we are so insignificant that our history only warrants one month of study and celebration. When everyone in the whole world came from us.

The true History of the Black Nation can only be taught by The Creator of the Black Nation – Allah in the Divine Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever.

The Black nation are the only people that came with the creation. Everybody else was MADE from us. We are the only people who were CREATED by the God of the Creation.

He is the ONLY man was there. No one can Give us a thorough history but the Man who was there. Black History begins BEFORE the Creation of the Universe.

You can read all about it in the book written by His Messenger to us, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (PBUH) and you can do that any day of the year.
