ALLAH, GOD, THE SUPREME BEING

OUR SAVIOUR HAS ARRIVED

Allah, God, The Supreme Being:

“The knowledge of God has been kept a secret by twelve men on our planet for many thousands of years. The twelve pass their knowledge on from son to son, but the number possessing this knowledge is never more than twelve; and they are not to ever reveal it.

The wisest of scientists have worked, studied, and searched all their life long for the actual knowledge of God and have failed to obtain it. Finally, they formed their own opinions of God.

Many claim that there is no such one (God) and that the Creation of the Universe came by chance. Manโ€™s creation, they say, took place from some lower form of animal life of the sea. But they are never able to prove such theories. There, the people formed their own ideas of God, for they had no true knowledge of God.

How can we know God if He kept Himself from our having a true knowledge of Him? Just what was the purpose of this secret knowledge of God?

We just could not know God unless God made Himself known to us, and there was a set time for Him to make Himself known. Why was there a set time? It was done to keep from interfering with the rule of the devils who also had a set time. The devil is the God of the wicked (the Caucasian race) whose world must be destroyed to allow the World of Righteousness as its ruler. For He has not ruled universally for over six thousand years. Therefore, we have been without the true knowledge of God.

The Bibleโ€™s prophets make a prophesy of His coming and not of His presence and only of the spirit of God, not as a person. Therefore, the people worship the spirit (joy and gladness) of God as being the real person of God. They do not believe in the reality of God; only in spirits, wood, stone, iron, gold, silver, Sun, Moon, and Stars. Some even worship beasts, animals, and fowl, snakes, fire, and water as God. This nonsense is to be broken up in these days by the presence of the real God in person.

I am with Allah to convince the world that He is God in the person of Master Fard Muhammad and that idols are things, not persons. According to the Bible and Holy Qurโ€™an, God is referred to by the pronoun “He,” never as “She” – always in the masculine term.

All these scriptures show that He sees, hears, feels, tastes, smells, talks our language, walks, stands, sits, eats, and drinks. Therefore, God must be a human being. He must be a human being, a man since we all refer to Him as being our Father.

Everyone looks forward to seeing the coming of God but who has prepared to meet Him on His coming? What do we expect to see, a spirit? Well we just cannot see spirits. We can only feel the spirit. Will we see a man? The world does not believe that God is a man. What are we to see for God if He is not a man? Let us check on the Bible and Holy Qurโ€™an and see whether or not we should see a spirit or see a man for God.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) “All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds” (Holy Qurโ€™an 1:1).

The above is said by representatives of God and not directly from the mouth of God although the words are true. The whole of the book called Genesis of the Bible is said to be Mosesโ€™ Book and what Mosesโ€™ said of the history of Godโ€™s creation; and of Adam, Seth, Enos, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Abraham, Lot and Melchizedek.

Now God has not addressed Himself to us in Genesis, the opening of the Bible; it is His Prophet, Moses. The Holy Qurโ€™anโ€™s opening chapter is a prayer said by the Prophet Muhammad and all Muslims.

Here God is represented as being the One due all praise; for He is the “Lord of all the worlds” while Moses says that He is the “Creator of heaven and earth.” But the prophet did not say who was Godโ€™s creator. Nor does the Holy Qurโ€™an tell us.

The Bible reads that He is the “first and the last,” so does the Holy Qurโ€™an. The Holy Qurโ€™an, in referring to God, uses the pronoun “we” far more than the pronoun “I”. The “I” is used in the opening of the second chapter; “I am Allah, the Best Knower.” (2:1)

He addresses Himself to us as being the “Best Knower”; but what we know is; who is this “I am”? And who is this “we”? Is it a man, or the spirit of man, or a spirit without man, or any living creature of the heavens and earth?

The Bible says, “Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5:24). “God talked with Noah” (6:13) and to most of the prophets. Can He be a man or other than a man? God said that, “His spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh: (Genesis 6:3)

We have a great subject before us to open up to the world. So have patience and, by the help of Allah, I shall prove to you that God is man.

The Nations of the Earth expect the coming of a God Who will overcome and destroy all idol gods and set Himself up as the Supreme God over all; for all nations have made their own gods according to the Bible (Kings 17:19).

Many people have been saying for a long time that God is already with us. Most of the people believe God to be a “spirit”. If He is only a spirit, it is not necessary for us to ever see Him; only to feel Him, for a spirit cannot be seen. And this has been the only God that we have had in the past.

Let us search the Bible and see if it teaches us to believe in the coming of God to be a spirit and not a man. The Bible teaches us of the spirit of God in many places; but only once do I find where it mentions God as being only a spirit (John 4:24). And this came from a Prophet (Jesus) and not from the mouth of God.

If one reads the previous verse (John 4:23), he or she will find that even Jesus could not have believed God to be only a spirit in these words; “But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeeth such to worship Him.”

Here it is made clear that the “hour cometh.” This “hour” cannot be referring to anything other than the doom or end of the devilโ€™s wicked world of false worshippers who claim that they are true worshippers of the true God but are not. For the Father (God) seeketh true worshippers. So Jesus could have only been referring to the time of the presence of God, in Person.

The world of Satan, the devil, did not convert people to God according to the parable of the wicked husbands whom the Lord let His vineyard out to (Matthew 21:23;41). In the 42nd verse of the same chapter, Jesus makes another parable of the true worshippers under the “stone that the builders rejected”; that it became the “headstone.”

It is the so-called Negroes who have become rejected by the builders of governments (civilization) who are now destined to become the head in the new world (or government) under the Divine Supreme Being in person.

It is natural to say that God is the Spirit of Truth, of Life. It is natural to say such and such a one is a liar, but where there is no one to tell a lie, there is no liar.

So it is with truth or spirit of truth. If there is nothing to produce the spirit, there is no spirit; nor can we know the truth without someone to teach the truth. Where there is man, there is the spirit. Where there is no man, there is no spirit, for the spirit cannot produce itself.

We cannot expect to see that which cannot be seen. A spirit cannot be seen, only felt. It is like electricity. Electricity is a power produced by friction from a substance that has such power (electric) in it produced by the sun and moon upon the earth. It is not seen, but we know what makes it. So it is with God.

We know that God exists and is All Wise, All Powerful, and that this quickening power called spirit is from Him. But who is this God? A spirit cannot think, but thinking can produce spirit. So according to Godโ€™s own words, through His prophets, He must be a man. He is interested in manโ€™s affairs according to the Bible (Genesis 1:27); “God made man in His own image and likeness, both male and female.”

If we believe in that alone, that God created man in His own image and likeness, that is sufficient for us to expect God to be nothing other than a man.

A father has pleasure in his son and in his sonโ€™s affairs because the son is a part of himself and his very image and likeness. There is no true scripture that teaches us that God is something other than a man. The Bible teaches us (Hosea 11:9); “For I am God and not man; the Holy One is in the midst of thee.”

Here the latter part of the verse makes it clear that God is a Holy One (man) and the man that he is not is an unholy one (man). This only means that the Holy God is not the wicked manโ€™s God (the Caucasian race).

Ever since Adam, the Caucasian race has been referred to as the man-made man or race and mankind; the world has taken this to include all men. “No man hath seen God.” (I John 5:19) This is another confused teaching to the ignorant masses; for if no man hath seen God, then there is no God for you and me to look forward to seeing on the Judgement Day.

If such is true, how will we know Him since no one has ever see Him? But we do know Him and what He looks like. “We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness” (I John 5:19).

The whole world of the white race is full of wickedness and this is the “world” referred to. We are not of this “world” (the white race or devils) nor is our God the God of this world of devil. Our God is One today, as we had only one God in the beginning. “In this day (this is the day) shall there be One Lord and His name One” (Zachariah 14:9). This refers to the time when the true God is made manifest. Before His manifestation, the people worship what they think or what they want to be their god. The devilโ€™s teaching is a division of gods – three gods into one god. The Hindus have many gods.

The Muslims worship one God – Allah. “Say; He, Allah, is One God.” Yet 99% of the old world Muslims think that Allah is only a “Spirit” and is not a man. Then they too need to be taught today the reality of Allah.

Certainly He is One God, but not a “spirit”, for a spirit cannot be said to be “one God.” If god were only a spirit, we could not say that the spirit will come only after the rule of the devils, the wicked; for we have had the spirit all the while. A king that has no equal in power or no associate, that king will rule the world until a superior one is born.”

Beards

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad

Reprinted from Muhammad Speaks Newspaper

There are a lot of people who have a lot of beards. For some reason or another they go around with a bearded face. I do not question the reason why you want these beards. However I do say that they are germ-carriers. They catch germs. When a man drinks water, milk or any other liquid, he has to be awfully careful that he wipes his mouth and the beard around his mouth. Anytime he tries to drink some liquid out of his glass, he cannot get the liquid into his mouth without getting his beard in it.

THE BEARD is no more clean than the surface of your clothes which is exposed to filth of all kind. This is why we wear clothes; it is to clothe our bodies against things that would make our bodies unclean. To cover our face with hair serves the same purpose for the face. The beard catches all that would light upon the face. It is more troublesome to clean a beard than it is to clean the skin of the face from which the beard is grown. We can easily cleanse a clean-shaven face with soap and water.

Some people wear beards to emphasize their holiness. Others wear beards for style or forย disguise or because they want to be noticed as to distinguish himself from others or according to some office that he holds.

Regardless to the reason, I want to set forth in these words, that the beard is unsanitary. People just wear them to be distinguished one from the other. If I were you, I would leave them off and try to keep my face clean.

Imagine your wife, trying to find her way to your mouth, in order to kiss you, through all of that beard. She would be kissing beards before she got to your mouth. Maybe she could pick up a germ, with which you are not acquainted. One that had lodged in your beard. Beards would be fine if you wanted a basket for germ-catching.

IN WINTERโ€ฆin cold frigid zones like the one of Chicago, Illinois and Michiganโ€ฆthese are cold zones that we have here in North America, North of the Ohio River, except far westโ€ฆwhich is warmer.

We are living in cold zones and have zero weather with snow, ice and sleet. When the least liquid hits these beards they freeze up, without the wearer knowing it. He had better not be a tobacco-chewer trying to expectorate in zero and sub-zero weather.

I AM against wearing beards. I am against men wearing long hair like women. This is also traditional of the time of Moses. When the white man came out of the cave, he was full of hair. Hair covered his whole body and face. He had no barber-shop. They did not have such tools as we have today. But we see how they go today. Most of them are clean-shaven except those who want to distinguish themselves like Rabbiโ€™s and priests. However, most priests are clean-shavenโ€ฆeven the Pope of Rome.

Every now and then we find some who want to wear long beards. They wear them but that does not mean that the beard is sanitary. They house germs. I will not wear such germ-catchers and I will not tolerate with my followers wearing such germ-catchers.

HERE OF late there has been a great upsurging of the Black Manโ€ฆold and young men also, coming out with a face covered with beard.

YOUNG BROTHER, it does not make you look modern when you let your hair down on your neck and shoulders. They let their hair grow when there was no barber-shop or barber who could trim peopleโ€™s hair. Cut off that pillow of hair behind your head, at the nape of your neck and trim your hair-line around the back of your neck, like the modern man.

When you let the hair of the face and head grow long, you are wearing the style of ancient traditional people and you are not classified with the modern man of today.

If we desire to look distinct from other people, let us have something that the world will admire and not something which was the tradition of our people before these modern times.

ALLAH (God) even said that He would bring a new heaven and a new earth, Is:65:17 to get rid of the stale world.

PROPHETS, of the Bible, say He will make all things new, Bible Rev. 21:1, and that we shouldย love that thing which He made new. I certainly am one who loves it. I do not want to return to a traditional garb of my fathers before four hundred (400) years ago. I am not going to adopt any of those jungle styles of our people.

I ASK you, if you would like to be a modern man, get away from trying to imitate the non-modern man.

THE SALVATION TO WHICH GOD AND HIS
MESSENGER ARE CALLING YOU

ย 

The Black man of America must be warned constantly that he is the target of the slavemaster to deceive, after the truth has now come to the black man โ€“ not only in America, but all over the earth.

The White race has deceived us for the past 4,000 years โ€“ since it has been up from Moses. The God of our Nation (Black Nation), the just and righteous God (Allah) is now laying the foundation for His future world out of His choice of people, the lost and found members of the black people, nicknamed Negro, with freedom, justice and equality.

Justice is the foundation of His government, often referred to in the New Testament as the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Of course, all of the kingdoms of man have been on the earth and nowhere else. The history of our Nation since the white race came is that our peopleโ€™s minds and thoughts have been changed away from living under the law and rule of a government of righteousness.

So, brother, do not be deceived into thinking you are smarter in this knowledge than they are. They already are awake. They never wanted you to know it because the truth puts them in a very bad position and in a position of disrespect and dishonor by God and the Nations of Righteousness.

They know that they have been your foster father and have reared you into that which is other than the truth and other than the life which you should be living. They are angry with the God of Righteousness and Truth.

They seek to take revenge on you because God has manifest them in their true selves and nature in which they were made โ€“ to deceive the world of the black man. This was the only way to rule the black people.

You must remember, my brother, though truth has come to you, the white man is wiser to the knowledge of good and evil โ€“ you are not equally as wise as he. He will deceive you in the knowledge of evil and good. He will make you mistake one for the other, as he is doing now.

You are deceived and think what he is leading you to is right โ€“ and what God and His Messenger are calling you to is wrong. He wants you to think that the temporary life he invites you to accept is permanent and better than what Allah and His messenger are offering you. All of the fantastic sport and play, filth and indecency are designed to take the so-called Negroes by the thousands to their doom.

Therefore, knowing you to be the object, I must warn you โ€“ as the Bible warns us all โ€“ against underestimating this knowledge of the evil doer, in these words: โ€œbe wise as a serpent and humble as a dove.โ€

Know that he knows and how he would like to practice this on you and me. However, do not show aggressive action towards him, but show the acts of a righteously wise person without any aggressive acts at all. Just refuse to accept evil for good and good for evil.

Be Wise to the knowledge of evil and wise to the knowledge of righteousness, and practice that which is good, because evil, sport and play are short lived (Bible and Holy Qur-an). Good is forever, but not evil. There is an end to evil, but there is not end to good.

God (Allah) has made it clear that you are a member of the family of righteousness, so after knowledge, we can take the way to our God of righteousness or we can take our way to hell with the devil.

We Must remember that God (Allah) does not beg people to do righteousness, but He puts two ways clearly before us and it is up to us to accept the way we want to travel.

The offer of positions in high office to our people is nothing but an attempt to deceive them into thinking these offers are forever. Some of our people in politics even hope that some day they will be the President of the United States of America โ€“ yet they have not asked for one square foot of the country to rule. This is really a foolish way of thinking.

Why Would the white man want you and me as his President in America as he is capable of producing โ€“ out of his own race โ€“ men qualified and capable to be their President in the country they call their own? There is not one state here that belongs to Negroes. They all belong to the white people.

Get such ignorant dreams out of your head. ย If they wanted you to be their President, it would be only them under a black skin continuing to rule, as is the case of many of our politicians today. Though he may be black, under his skin he loves whatever the white man says.

The Silly idea of wanting to be the wife or husband of the enemy is sure to get you to hell with the enemy. He knows that you are blind and that you always have loved to intermarry and intermix with their blood.

So he swings the doors of opportunity wide open for you to walk into the trap.

Remember these words and keep this article. Cut it out of the newspaper and keep it with you so that your mind may reflect on your future and not over a temporary chance.

We Need some of this earth that we can call our own.

BEING PESCATARIAN

Definition of PESCATARIANย :ย  one whose diet includes fish but no other meat

HOW TO EAT TO LIVE

“FISH – we can eat fish. Fish is raised under a different atmosphere. Fish is from a different world of life. Fish is born and fish lives, in the water of life. Fish is good for us.”

***************************

“THE PEOPLE of MARS eat what their planet produces for them to eat, as the planet produced the people of Mars and it produces the food that they eat. I do not know what the planet produces, other than the people of Mars.

“IF I could fly to Mars, I do not know whether or not I could say, “Prepare, fish, lamb or chicken,” and have it prepared for me.”

**************************

“STAY AWAY FROM eating a lot of meats and do not eat too much fish that is weighing from 20 to 50 pounds. You should eat fish weighing a half pound to ten pounds. And, be sure not to eat the scavenger fish that lives off of filth. Do not eat a fish that sucks its food, but eat one that swallows its food whole. Do not eat fish that look like animals, with heads like animals, nor forefronts built like an animal. Do not eat such fish as eel, which should not really be referred to as a fish, but as a water snake. And, never eat slimy oysters, lobsters, crabs, clams, shrimps and snails.”

**************************

“I have received many questions in regard to meat, fish, and poultry that have not been mentioned. The main thing Allah, as well as the Holy Qur-an, reminds us of is that when it comes to meat and fish, Allah forbids us to eat the flesh of a swine and a fish weighing over 50 pounds (or even weighing 50 pounds).

“SOME PEOPLE will not even eat fish at all. There are many fish that we can eat; some even weighing as little as one or one and a half pounds.

“When eating fish, we should confine our fish – eating to those fish weighing between one and ten pounds. As I previously said on “HOW TO EAT TO LIVE,” do not eat the scavengers of the sea such as oysters, crabs, clams, snails, shrimps, eels, and catfish.

“The fish last mentioned (catfish) is a very filthy fish. He loves filth and is the pig of the water. Some people write in complaining about the fish that swim on their sides, but these fish can be eaten.”

***************************

“There are many varieties of sea flesh-fish as we call it-that we go to sea to capture for food. We should be careful not to eat every fish, because every fish is not good to eat. If a fish weighs 50 pounds, we should not eat it. God Almighty has taught me that it is too hard on your digestive system.”

***************************

“Allah threatens America with all kinds of plagues–not one kind, but many kinds. Allah withholds the rains from her wheat fields; sends terrific cold and snow upon her fertile bread basket areas; kills her cattle, livestock and fowls; and kills her fish that are inland in ponds and rivers, with droughts.”

**************************

“Eating any kind of flesh is not good for us, not even beef. No animal flesh can be said to be good for human consumption, not even fowls, and very few fish, not to think of the scavengers of the waters, such as crabs, shrimps and oysters.
“We must learn to eat vegetables and fruits and stay away from land flesh. It is a little difficult for us to suddenly stop eating beef, lamb, and chicken, but we must wean away from such flesh gradually.”

*************************

“IF YOU ARE a sugar diabetic, stay from sugar; for sugar will make you diabetic and you will never know that you have it until you indulge in too much sugar and starchy foods. Eat more protein foods. And eat more fish or that which water produces of life other than scavengers of the water. We have scavengers out there in the water and we have them on the land. Stay away from that kind of animal or life that lives on nothing but filth itself. And, do not be a slave to your eating desires. Be the master of what you should eat and do not allow the desire or hunger to be the master.”

**************************

“Eat one (1) meal a day and eat the proper food. Do not try to eat everything that is edible.

“Just get yourself some common food. Number one, a bag of navy beans. Cook them well -done so that you will not get the colic from eating half -done beans. Put a little seasoning in the beans, if you want to. If you want meat in them, do not put pig in them. Use beef lamb or chicken in the pot of beans. Do not use fish to season the pot of beans.”

***************************

“FISH is a better food, if you eat the better fish. The flesh of the fish comes out of another world. This makes it better for us in this world. Any animal or beast that is out here eating the same food that we eat, we should not eat him, because his flesh is too hard for our flesh to digest. All of our food in the way of meat should come from the sea, ocean, river or lakes, and not from four -footed animals that are walking around here and eating almost the same things that we are eating.”

**************************

ย “If you stopped eating the poison hog, the devils probably would give it to you, because they want you to have that which is detrimental to your good health. There is plenty of beef, fish and chicken for you to eat. So, why fill your bodies with poisonous foods, which produces complaints throughout your life–and shortens it as well? Ask the medical scientists if you do not believe me.”

BANANA ICE CREAM

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Sweet Asiatic Black Sisters!!!

Whenever you see another Black woman, you are looking at your Sister.
Greet Her!

Guess what I found out quite by accident? You don’t have to have an ice cream maker to make your own ice cream!

My Wali brought me some bananas after I asked him what kind of ice cream he wanted. I had never even considered making banana ice cream before so, needless to say, I was very excited!

Any homemade ice cream made from fruit has pretty much the same recipe.

2 cups sweetened fruit
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Fresh fruit is always better. I use 1/2 cup of honey and 1 3/4 cups fruit. If you want more than a quart, just increase your measurements equally.

Unfortunately, I was so excited about the bananas that I went overboard. I put in cocoa (thinking chocolate covered bananas :/ ), vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg.

It was too much.

I also used a little milk because the recipes that came with my ice cream maker all said to use a little milk – about 1 1/2 cups cream and 1/2 cup milk. But I knew from experience that it always comes out better when I used nothing but cream.

Anyway, the power went out while I was making the ice cream. And I had to just put it in the freezer. It came alright. It had little ice chips in it because of the milk though. :/

So, anyway, yesterday, my Wali took me to the market and chose some more bananas. I used to buy them for my son, but I stopped liking them several years ago – after years of growing up with a Chiquita sticker always on my forehead. ๐Ÿ˜‰

THIS TIME, I missed it with the cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg, and just used 3 bananas, about 3/4 cup of honey and filled my quart measuring cup with cream. Past the marker. Almost to the rim.

As I was preparing to hook up my ice cream maker Allah Said, “Don’t use it. Just put it in the freezer.”

I disagreed and hesitated. Astaghfirullah But did it anyway.

ALLAHU AKBAR!!!

It came out so fresh and creamy! No ice chips or anything. I couldn’t believe it!

Anybody can make homemade ice cream! All you need are the ingredients, a bowl and a freezer.

Stop buying that ready-made ice cream and giving the manufacturers your money for something you can make yourself. Don’t be lazy.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful & Beloved Black Goddesses

A blender was one of the very first appliances that I ever purchased. I saw one on sale for $15.00 so I bought it. It lasted five years and now that I think about it, that doesn’t seem like a very long time, in the grand scheme of things, but I was satisfied that I had gotten my money’s worth when it finally did start sputtering. That’s three dollars a year and we eat Bean Soup every day so I was using it at least twice a week, maybe more. It was a Hamilton Beach.

When I went out to purchase a replacement, I had a little more money to invest so I bought a really nice looking Black & Decker that cost over twice as much as my old HB. When I unpackaged it, I was really impressed. The pitcher was made out of GLASS! I LOVED IT! But when I tried to blend my soup or pie, I can’t remember which, the damn thing broke! I couldn’t believe it! I mean it was a BLACK & DECKER! They are famous for their appliances, right? So, I took it back and exchanged it forย another one of the same model. This time I only filled the pitcher up half-way and it worked okay.

But it took twice as long to do the work.

wave action

My next door neighbor ended up stealing it from me. (Joke’s on you, Bitch!) So anyway, I bought another one. This time another Hamilton Beach. They had even improved on the model. I paid about $22 but that’s not bad and I love it. You don’t have to remove the bottom in order to clean it and it works just as well as the first one. It has something called “Wave Action.” I can’t tell the difference, but it gives me something to watch while I’m blending. ๐Ÿ˜‰

My mixer is also a Hamilton Beach and I am very pleased with its performance as well. As I was browsing for photos, I found that Hamilton Beach had offered a set of appliances as a giveaway for a blogger to give away to one of her readers. So, since I’ve always been pretty good at getting free stuff, I’m going to see if I can start doing that for my Beautiful Sisters. #gottagiveback ๐Ÿ˜‰

I never realized it was

Until I looked closely

At your picture

It says,

“Smile too.”

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Black Sisters.

1. NO BE VERBS

BE VERBS

USE YOUR CREATIVITY AND MAKE YOUR WRITING MORE INTERESTING. INSTEAD SAYING “I AM SITTING.” YOU CAN SAY “BREATHLESSLY, I SIT WAITING FOR YOUR CALL.” OR “I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SIT STILL WHILE THE MUSIC IS PLAYING.”

BY NOT USING BE VERBS, IT FORCES YOU TO GIVE MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS HAPPENING. INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING “YOU ARE FAT.” YOU CAN SAY, “YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.” OR “YOU SURE HAVE PUT ON SOME POUNDS.” BOTH OF WHICH ARE REMARKABLY MORE INTERESTING.

2. USE ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS MUNIFICENTLY.

REMEMBER ADJECTIVES DESCRIBE A NOUN (PERSON, PLACE OR THING) AND ADVERBS MODIFY A VERB, ADJECTIVE OR OTHER ADVERB. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES. “MY GREEN GARMENT IS MY MOST FAVORITE.” ย GREENย IS THE ADJECTIVE ANDย MOST IS THE ADVERB. HERE ARE SOME VIDEOS THAT SHOULD HELP TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR.

3. NOT “I” AND NEVER “YOU”.

DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU’RE WRITING, THE USE OF “I” MAY BE UNAVOIDABLE. BUT IF YOU ARE JUST RELAYING A STORY OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF WRITING, “I” CAN BE VERY BORING, EVEN IN AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. IF YOU MUST USE “I” DON’T START THE SENTENCE WITH “I”. MAKE YOUR POINT IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY. TAKING THE EMPHASIS OFF OF YOURSELF AND PUTTING IT ON THE THING THAT HAPPENED (MORE INTERESTING). FOR EXAMPLE, INSTEAD OF “I AM EATING BEAN SOUP.” YOU CAN SAY, “THIS BEAN SOUP IS DELICIOUS!”

THIS WAY, YOU ARE TACITLY INFORMING YOUR READER THAT YOU ARE EATING BEAN SOUP, AND ALSO GIVE THEM MORE INFORMATIONย ABOUTย THE BEAN SOUP.

4. LASTLY, OVERDO IT!!!

WHAT YOU MAY THINK IS SO OVER-THE-TOP THAT NOBODY WILL TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY, YOUR READERS WILL PROBABLY GET SUCKED IN BY YOUR IMAGERY. AS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE MORE INFORMATION YOU GIVE, THE MORE INTERESTED YOUR READER WILL BECOME. IT DOESN’T HURT TO BE EXTRAVAGANT IN YOUR DESCRIPTIONS AND PHRASES. I “HELPED” MY DAUGHTER WITH A PAPER FOR COLLEGE ONCE AND WENT OVERBOARD IN MY WORDING, BUT TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY, LOVE THAT. SHE GOT THE HIGHEST GRADE OUT OF ALL OF HER PROFESSOR’S STUDENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, INSTEAD OF SAYING, “THE MUSIC SOUNDS REALLY GOOD.” YOU CAN SAY, “THE VIBRATIONS OF THE MUSIC REACH INTO MY SOUL.” YOU KNOW? TRY AND GIVE YOUR READER SOMETHING THEY CAN FEEL – SOMETHING THAT PAINTS A PICTURE IN THEIR MINDS. GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER.

INTERNET SHOPPING

AS-SALAAMU ‘ALAIKUM BELOVED MODEST & PURE ASIATIC BLACK QUEENS!

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET, SO I WANT YOU TO STOP RIGHT NOW AND SAY “AL HAMDULILLAH” ย THAT MEANS “ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH (GOD).”

SISTERS, THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY WE SHOULD TRY AND DO AS MUCH SHOPPING AS WE CAN VIA THE INTERNET.

1. IT’S SAFER THAN VENTURING OUT. WE SHOULD TRY TO STAY IN THE HOME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WHERE WE ARE SAFE AND SECURE AND CAN ACCOMPLISH THE MANY TASKS THAT MUST BE DONE. IF YOU MUST GO OUT, TRY AND TAKE A BROTHER (BLACKMAN) WITH YOU SO THAT YOU CAN BE PROPERLY SECURED.

2. YOU SAVE MONEY. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A TABLET COMPUTER AND I WENT TO AMAZON AND FOUND ONE FOR HALF THE PRICE THEY SELL FOR IN STORES. OFTENTIMES, YOU CAN FIND FREE SHIPPING.

3. BETTER SELECTION. PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, HOWEVER, I WOULD RECOMMEND ONLY PURCHASING FROM TRUSTED SITES (FAMILIAR NAMES) BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST SHADY.

4. YOU CAN GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU GO INTO THE STORES, ALL YOU CAN BUY IS WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE STORE. WHEREAS, ONLINE, YOU CAN FINDย EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT, MOST TIMES, WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE A COMPROMISE.

The best way I have found is GOOGLE SHOPPING. Just type in what you are looking for (blenders, women’s flat white shoes, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, &c.) and the WEB page will come up automatically but there are tabs across the top of the page. One of them reads “SHOPPING.” Click on it and you can find whatever it is you need at the best prices without having to leave the comfort of your own Heaven.
