THE SALVATION TO WHICH GOD AND HIS
MESSENGER ARE CALLING YOU

 

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 – not only in America, but all over the earth.

The White race has deceived us for the past 4,000 years – 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 people’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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – as the Bible warns us all – against underestimating this knowledge of the evil doer, in these words: “be wise as a serpent and humble as a dove.”

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 – 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 – out of his own race – 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.  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

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

Pes·ca·tar·i·an

noun \ˌpe-skə-ˈter-ē-ən\

Definition of PESCATARIAN :  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.”

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

 “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.”

ICE CREAM W/O AN ICE CREAM MAKER

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

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. 😉

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 for 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. 😉

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 😉

TIPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR WRITING

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

download (2)

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.”  GREEN IS THE ADJECTIVE AND 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 INFORMATION ABOUT 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”  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 FIND 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.
