WHO’S vs. WHOSE

Bismillah

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Asiatic Sisters!

In this information age, we are communicating with each other via Internet on a daily basis. We want to always use proper grammar whenever we write, to show the greatest intelligence.

There is nothing that irritates me more than reading posts with improper grammar and misspelled words. I understand typos occur. But, Sisters, we should proofread EVERYTHING we post before pressing “Enter”.

You might recall I wrote a blog on “Who vs. Whom” a little while back. Well, this morning I remembered that I really didn’t know the difference between “Who’s” and “Whose.” So, I thought, “Why not look that up also?” I’m sure there are many others who also never learned the difference.

So, here’s the deal. You probably know “Who’s” is a contraction of “Who is”, right? So, you could write “Who’s minding the store?” as opposed to “Who is minding the store?”

On the other hand, if you want to know who owns the store, you would write, “Whose store is it?” “Whose” is a possessive pronoun. It is used to show ownership.

Get it? 🙂

Here are a few more examples:

– “Whose phone are you going to use?”

– “The person who’s bringing the flowers should be here soon.”

– “Whose flowers are they?”

We, are the wisest of all life on the Planet, Our Saviour taught Our Beloved Messenger (PBUH). We have to show the greatest intelligence at all times.

THEN vs. THAN

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Asiatic Black Sisters!

The photo pretty much sums it up in a humorous kind of way. But generally, “then” is used to indicate a particular moment in time. “Than” is used for comparative purposes. You would use “then” when you want to tell when something happened and “than” when you are comparing somethings.

For example:

– “I did all my laundry, then I baked a Bean Pie.”

– “The pie I baked this time was better than my last one.”

– “Hakim ate his piece and then asked for more.”

– “I told him he is going to be bigger than I am very soon.”

In the first sentence, “then” indicates that I baked the pie after I finished doing laundry. It tells when something happened (time). The second sentence uses “than” because it is a comparison of the two pies. The third sentence uses “then” because it tells when Hakim asked for more pie. The final sentence uses “than” because it is a statement of comparison between me and my son.

Sisters, we have to be knowledgeable in every area of learning. We are responsible for teaching our children. We must be sure that we are teaching them right. We are also the paradigm of womanhood for the whole universe. We should let no woman beat us in anything when it comes to intelligence. (She can be our equal.) We should never waste time in frivolous trivialities. We should use every moment of our lives improving ourselves. There is no limit to what we can accomplish.

CHAPTER 32

Whose Christmas?

If You look at the emblems which represent these two religions and understand their meanings, you will say, “How could I have ever been a Christian? Or ever to have believed in such a religion which will display such a gruesome sign – a murdered prophet to beckon me on a path to murder.”

The whole history of the white race is written in the shedding of innocent blood. They kill the righteous. Do you not hear how openly they speak of killing me and my followers? Do you not see how they go in gangs, armed to the teeth, to kill me and my followers? They try to provoke us to strike back at them – innocent people upon whom they prey.

They attack our meeting places like wild jungle creatures; actually shoot up the walls of our temples to show their hatred of the righteous and the right-doer – without any cause whatsoever, as you see and know. We carry no weapons, but this is no defense or excuse to the white race, which is, by nature, made to attack and kill the innocent without an excuse.

They go in carloads and truckloads, raiding the poor innocent Black sections to take our lives without any cause or provocation whatsoever – wrecking our property – knowing that we have no arms. They cowardly, evilly come in great numbers as though they expect a great army to rise up against them. Cowards!

They have no respect for good. They bomb our Black Christian brothers’ churches in the South. They Shoot them down on highways, in their homes and on the job – anywhere he can satisfy his lust for blood; a blood-thirsty wicked human beast.

They go out on the streets and run down the poor Black man to take his life, with no excuse except their hatred of him and to bear witness to the truth of himself that he is the devil.

They have the nerve to tell the poor innocent victim (Black man) that the teacher of the truth is teaching hatred of him! Who could love him? There should be no need to teach hatred of you to a people who were born and brought up under your feet and who daily experience the cruel blows from your heavy boots, because that person already knows that you are the heartless enemy – who will not let him go free in a separate place here in this wide territory.

But You would rather hold them here under your eyes so that you can do evil things to them – beat and kill them while they are helpless. Your enemies would gladly arm every one of them, but Allah (God) does not want us to bear arms.

He wants to show you that He is God. He wants to fight you with His weapons, the forces of nature – rain, hail, snow, and earthquakes; the sun, moon, and the star. As little as we respect that little dried up piece of our planet called moon, which looks harmless, it has such power of magnetic pull on our planet that it could affect our lives.

Now comes the Christians’ big holiday which they call Christmas. With all the fantastic foolishness of jungle savages, they pretend to love worshipping the prophet on the 25th day of December. They stagger drunkenly all over the streets, campuses, and most of the homes and churches, with card games, dice and other games of chance and all kinds of whisky and beer – to celebrate that great prophet; with fighting and killing and eating swine flesh. Such is the day which they call the birthday of Jesus.

They have nothing of good in their behavior. It is like Isaiah said, “This people worship me with their mouth but their hearts are far from me.” This is true.

It is all false that Jesus was born on the 25th day of December. But the poor Black slave, who used to rejoice that his master gave him one day of rest from the hard labor which he was made to serve, until any day his master said was a holiday was all right with him, as long as he did not have to work.

Until this day, they do not stop to ask what is the meaning of his holiday and where it sprang from. There is no holiday of the white people which the so-called Negro should worship as his day. He never seeks to find a day of his own on which he can worship.

He seeks to worship what the white man worships – and feels rejected if not permitted to go to war with his master regardless of whom his master is fighting, even though it be his own brother or family. He thinks he is disgraced if he is not involved in whatsoever his master is involved in, and he believes he has a share in it because he wants the love and respect of his master so much.

In fact, he does not believe in what he teaches you of Christianity. Even the very basic principle of Christianity is wrong and false (three Gods in one). And that one of them had to die, he being the Son of the Father, to save the wicked world of the Caucasian race is the most damnable teaching against your peace and happiness. It takes you right out of life.

Another false practice on the 25th day of December: the children between the ages of 3 and 12 think a Santa Claus is visiting them, making them believe they are getting presents from some foreign or strange person other than themselves (the parents).

Some of the parents go so far as to scratch the chimney and tell the children “Santa came down here last night.” This is outright false and telling other than the truth. They even have pictures made and commercialized on it.

How could one come from way around the North Pole driving a small sled-like cart? And where did he buy all of those toys? How does Santa drive his sled in the South where there is no snow or ice for him to drive on? They rob themselves of the honor of the child at his receiving their gifts.

Jesus is garbed up and commercialized on by a world of evil and sin and you like this, my people – you love this now. You defy anyone, even God Himself, to try and remove your love of what is false.

You cannot prove that the 25th day of December is the birthday of Jesus and you are preaching out of a Bible which does not carry any such history. It gives you an idea that He could not have been born on December 25 by these worlds “While the shepherds watched their flocks by night.”

If it had been in December, could they have been sitting out at night watching the flock eat good green grass? December is wintertime! Winter starts on the 21st day of December – you are four days into winter there.

Of course, there are some parts of the earth where winter does not come and there is pasture for the sheep all year round. But it is not like that in Palestine – in the winter, especially at night.

According to the Christian saying and representation, the Son of God is worshipped. His birth is mocked and disgraced with drunkenness, murdering, gambling, and every type of evil committed on such a day by the Christians while the Muslims walk through their midst, soberly, peacefully fasting through the month and not thinking of drinking alcoholic beverages – not eating the flesh of anything – eating once a day, and that only at night.

At the same time, the evil Christian world disgraces the name of one of the most perfect prophets of the past, Jesus. Should not God take revenge on them for such mockery of Jesus? They lie when they say Jesus was born without the agency of man. Then they lie of his death and say that he rose again physically.

And yet, the Black preacher today, in this modern, advanced spiritually scientific world which represents such falsehood, scorns the truth of Islam (entire submission to the Will of God). Should not the preacher be divinely chastised as it is written that he will be?

The Pope of Rome knows that his followers here in the West are making a mockery of Jesus and his teachings, but he will not try to change it, for he is the father of it (church).

The Sign of Christianity is death. The sign of Islam is life. Teach your children the truth. Make them practice truth. Make them practice truth, and do so yourself, as their guides.

CHAPTER 31

The Christian Holidays

My Dear Black Brothers and Black Sisters, the religion Christian holidays that you celebrate are holidays for white people and not for Black People.

The white people do not worship any day belonging to Black People. Why should you worship their days… days which are to their interest and not to the interest of the Black Man?

On the 25th day of December, when you seek to worship the birthday of Jesus, you are just as far from worshipping his birthday, as two thousand (2,000) years ago is to this past September. For Jesus was not born in December.

Allah (God) Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom Praises are due forever, Taught me that Jesus was born between the first and second week in September. If any Christian thinks that Allah (God) Is Misleading you and me, let the theologians of Christianity attack His Word and show proof that they are worshipping Jesus’ birthday on the 25th day of December and that Jesus of 2,000 years ago rose from his grave on that day they celebrate as Easter.

As a People who have been robbed and spoiled as we the Black People have been robbed of our own, naturally we dance by the music of the white slave-master and his children until we learn who we are.

So now we are learning who we are and a great separation is taking place between Black and white. We cannot hinder this separation even if we try to do so because it was Divinely Appointed thousands of years ago that a separation between good and evil would come about.

We, the Black People are from the God of Good; we are not from the god of evil. This, I repeatedly teach you. And the world of religious scientists will bear me witness, because this is true.

We make a fool out of ourselves by jumping up worshipping days and people that the white slave-master and his children say we are to worship.

We, the Black People, have no right to worship one day of Jesus of two thousand (2,000) years ago; for Jesus came ahead of time to bring about a judgment of this people and he died for the mistake that he had made in understanding the scripture. Then Jesus declared that he would go away… give his life… for what he had stood for.

So you do not have anything to worship on any day of the year for Jesus because he did not have any day for us to worship. If he had had a day to be worshipped on, it would have been for Jews and not for you and me, for we were not there to be represented.

Jesus came to the Jews and not to us and then he got disappointed that he was ahead of the time of the Jews to preach the doctrine of the destruction or judgment and the setting up of a New Kingdom of Heaven after the destruction of the Jews’ civilization. Jesus was born two thousand years ahead of the judgment of the Jews.

So you go out and spend your hard-earned money to worship with white people. They force you under disguise and defraud you into worshipping the birthday of that wicked old Nimrod on December. And if you knew the truth of him, you would not dare to worship it.

And so many false statement have been made to keep the falsehood strong enough for you to continue to believe until today; falsehood has come face to face with truth. And falsehood cannot stand in the face of truth. Truth condemns falsehood.

This world and this life and this way of civilization is falling and it soon will be no more. You are at the end of it before you realize it. Of course the scientists of the white people try to tell you, but, you are so sold to the falsehood that they have taught you and me for the last four hundred (400) years that you have come to love it. You would rather have the false than to have the truth. That is why you do not follow me.

But everyone of you should take those bells off your door. It is a foolish thing to worship a God with a bell, while the Bible tells you that God will use a trumpet. If you display anything, it should be a trumpet and not a bell to announce the Resurrection and Judgment.

Leave off the false; for truth has come and falsehood must vanish.

“AND WE MADE THE SON OF MARY AND HIS MOTHER A SIGN…”

CHAPTER 30

“And We Made The Son Of Mary And His Mother A Sign, And We Gave Them Refuge On A Lofty Ground Having Meadows And Springs”

If the Bible students would have taken this 50th verse of the 23rd Chapter of the Holy Qur’an, under study together with the birth, ministry and death of Jesus, as given in the Bible, Matt., Mark, Luke and John, they would agree that the man, Jesus, 2,000 years ago and his mother were a sign of something to come.

But the preachers of Christianity have always been overly anxious to put some fancy myth (other than the truth) around Jesus’ birth, ministry, and death, 2,000 years ago, to the extent that the Catholics make monuments of an imaginary Mary and her son, Jesus, and bow down and worship their handmade statues.

The Christians have no true pictures of Jesus and his mother, Mary, in possession, so they use imagery and the ignorant take it for truth.

The son of Mary and his mother, a sign. Let us see if we can direct the sign and find something that corresponds with her son’s birth and the hostile attitude of the Jews against the prosperity and future of these two people.

Why was the government, at that time, against the birth of Jesus and his freedom to live as other men? The Bible, Matt. 2:8, teaches that on his birth, when Herod heard of it, sent spies to ascertain the truth of the news that Mary had given birth to a child called Jesus. He told them to bring word to him that he may go and worship him. But by no means did he intend to give a true worship and recognition of Mary’s son, Jesus. He desired death for the son because he had read the Torah and in it is a prophecy of the Coming and Birth of a Ruler who would be King of the Jews. He felt that his authorities and rule would be threatened and brought to a naught if this was the baby prophesied of.

Take this anger and dislike on the part of the beast that seeks to destroy the child of a woman, Bible, Rev. 12:4 “…and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” If Mary and her son are a sign, or an example, of that which is to come, then whose birth and enslavement could correspond with these prophecies and signs any more than we, the American So-Called Negroes here under the white man?

Our God is nursing us into the knowledge of our Black self, as a mother nurses her babies from a nursing bottle or from her breasts. The angry enemy watches the growth of the children whom God Has Chosen to build for Himself a kingdom. The enemy becomes angrier and angrier as the American so-called Negro (the Lost – Found Members of the Aboriginal Nation) grow into the knowledge of self, our God and our True Religion, Islam (Entire submission to the Will of God).

In the Bible, the Book of Revelation gives a symbolic picture of the story of Mary and her son, Jesus, which is recounted in the 1st Chapter of Matt., but nevertheless, if understood, it is easy to see that Mary and her son were a sign of the American so-called Negro coming in the future. He would have a worse enemy against him; one who has the nature of a beast.

As Herod did, the enemy admires the so-called Negro, but at the same time he hopes to trick the Negro to go down with him to his doom. As it is prophesied, Bible Rev. 19:20, actually the beast did deceive the people.

The Prophets say that the slave, being deceived, worshipped the mark of the slave-master (his religion and name). There are many of our people today who hope to be dignified and respected by worshipping the cross and by going in the slave-master’s name.

This worship called Christianity and the names of the white slavemaster dooms Black Americans to an eternal death in the fire of hell. This fire of hell will be kindled from the atmosphere and sun over America. This is the only part of the earth of which it is prophesied that God would turn it into a Lake of Fire; not the whole earth. The reason it is called a lake is because a lake is confined to a certain area. A lake is inland surrounded by land.

The fleeing of Mary with her son to Egypt and Joseph’s aiding her to make haste to Egypt Bible Matt. 2:13, is a beautiful sign of the so-called American Negro fleeing out of America to the open arms of the Muslim world.

The King, Herod, desired most of all to kill Jesus in his infancy. Bible, Rev. 12:4 tells us that the dragon stood before the woman. The woman here represents the Messenger of God. The child represents the followers of the Messenger.

In the Bible, Rev. 14:1, we find the Lamb (Messenger of Allah, God) standing on the Mount Zion (foreign shore); with him was a hundred and forty four thousand (his followers who had escaped from the anger of the beast).

The average so-called Negro preacher has always believed this was referring to Jesus, the son of Mary. But this is due to his lack of knowledge of the Bible story of Jesus. Jesus, as I have said and written, was only a prophet. He is not what the average so-called Negro is made to believe from the surface teachings of the Bible. They have been taught that Jesus is some kind of mysterious being, and not a natural man, and that he is God, and that he could be killed, put into a grave back there 2,000 years ago, and ascend up into space to await the end of the world. They have been taught to believe that he will return and usher in the Judgment of this world. All of this is wrong.

The fleeing out of Jerusalem under the cover of darkness is backed up by prophecy made in the Bible, Ez. 34:12, “…and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.” This is referring to the last days; that Allah (God) would gather us in under a cover of a cloudy and dark day. We go further back to prophecy. Bible Ex. 12:31, 42 says that Israel was brought out of Egypt under cover of darkness. The Bible, Rev. 8:12 refers to a time of darkness in which “the third part of the sun, moon and stars was smitten and it was dark part of the day and the night.”

Since the world that Allah (God) will be destroying is a world of spiritual darkness, it is natural then that his judgment should correspond with the spiritual darkness of the evil world that He is removing.

In the Bible, Rev. 16:3, the angel dropped a vial into the sea, and the sea was turned to blood. The angel who had the power to do this work said that this was good as they loved the drawing of blood, they were given blood to drink. This refers to their evil murdering of people, especially the Black Man. No one fits this description better than America. She thought there was no help for us. But help has come to us as the Bible, Is. 62:4, prophesies, “Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken…”

Retaliation is certain today, for Allah (God) has chosen us to be His People. Our enemy is angry against God Coming to our aid and His Raising of us into a true knowledge of self, Our God, and his True Religion, the same as Herod and the beast of Revelation (Bible) was against Jesus and the woman who was giving birth to her child.

The white man hates to see anything of good come to the American so-called Negro whom he has made blind, deaf, and dumb to the knowledge of self and others. He is working feverishly to bring to a naught the progress of the salvation that Allah (God), Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad To Whom Praises are due forever, has brought to us, the Black Man of America.

As Joseph was at his wits’ end trying to find a place for Jesus and His mother, Mary, at the time of his birth (Bible Lk. 2:7) so are we. Everywhere that we go trying to find an Inn to give birth to this baby (so-called American Negro) we are hindered, not by the common people but by the chief rulers of this land.

MARY, JOSEPH, AND JESUS

CHAPTER 29

Mary, Joseph, and Jesus

The 25th of December is the birthday of Nimrod, the evil demon of the white race, who was born in the last 300 years of the civilization of Moses (17th Century B.C.).

From Moses to Jesus, there were many minor prophets and there were many wicked rulers. Jesus came, warning the white race that if they did not accept the truth of their coming doom, it would come to them in a day that they would not be aware of.

The deceitful theologians and writers of Christianity along with their chief, the Pope of Rome, know the truth; but yet have deceived the people as to the knowledge of the truth by deceiving them to worship an evil demon like Nimrod. They have the history of Nimrod with them and they use him under the name of Jesus to deceive the people to make them believe that the 25th of December was Jesus’ birthday. And, in this way, they would have the world worshipping this wicked evil demon, Nimrod, for the all but perfect prophet, Jesus.

But Jesus was not born in December. God in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, has taught me that his birthday took place between the first and second weeks of September, and that no one knows exactly what day he was born, for it was a secret kept between Joseph and Mary to save them both from being murdered by getting a baby out of wedlock.

The real truth that the Christians hate to confess is that Joseph had gotten the child, Jesus, by Mary while he was married to another woman and at that time had six children by the first marriage. So Master Fard Muhammad (God in Person) has taught me.

The Christians portray Joseph as someone taking care of a pregnant woman while he had nothing to do with the pregnancy of Mary. But, let us think sanely, as the Bible teaches us that Mary was put in the care of Joseph.

How could the theologians of the Bible write that the woman met Joseph to assure him that he does not have to fear taking Mary into marriage for that which she is pregnant with is not from man; it is from God, the Holy Ghost?

And, how could Joseph accept such an excuse for Mary’s pregnancy when he had not the knowledge of any woman in the history of man being found pregnant with a Holy Ghost’s son? For ghost means something that does not exist.

Instead, the theologians who wrote the history of Jesus and Mary should have used such words as: The child that Mary is pregnant with is a Holy child or a Prophet and you, Joseph, are the father of this Prophet and you should not fear accepting her and accepting the truth that you are the father of the child that Mary is pregnant with because the child will be the last Prophet to the white race (Jews). This would have made sense. Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises are Due forever, had taught me that this woman, whom the Bible mentions, told Joseph to his face that he was the father of the child that she was pregnant with and not the false teachings of the Bible that Jesus was something of a Holy Ghost and not flesh and blood.

The theologians got this from the Jews who also accused Joseph of being the father of the child and that he made Mary pregnant by visiting her under the cover of darkness (the Jews charged him with acting like a ghost and visiting her under the cover of darkness and making Mary pregnant).

Joseph and Mary had promised to marry when they were going to school at the age of 6 and they were separated. Since Joseph was a poor man and Mary’s father was a rich man, he refused to give Mary over to Joseph when he became a man and Joseph went and married another woman and had been married to her for six years and had six children by this wife. When the opportunity came that he could visit Mary (as she called him and told him of the opportunity), he made good of it.

Then the love they had for each other when they were little sprang anew again while they were alone together in the absence of Mary’s father and this act took place. So Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are Due forever, taught me.

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN

Chapter 9

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then shall all of the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” [Matt.24:30]

Here in the plainest words is the Son of Man on the Judgment Day. We are not told by either Moses or Jesus to look for God on Judgment Day to be anything other than man. Spirits and spooks cannot be the judge of man’s affairs. Man is material, of the earth. How long will you be ignorant of the reality of God? You are poisoned by the devil’s touch. Why are you looking for a God that is not flesh and blood as you are? Spirits can only be found in another being like yourself. What pleasure would you have in an invisible world? And on the other hand what pleasure would spirits have in this material universe of ours? Your very nature is against your being anything other than a human being.

These are the days of the resurrection of the mentally dead so-called Negroes. The Son of Man is here. His coming has been fulfilled. He seeks that which was lost (the so called Negroes). Many now are receiving His name, and that name alone will save you. The wicked nations of the earth are sorry and angry to see the Son of Man set up a government of justice and peace over this, their wicked world. They see signs in the heavens (sky) of great power to execute judgment on the world of the wicked, and they mourn.

We must have a new ruler and a new government, where the people can enjoy freedom, justice, and equality. Let the so-called Negroes rejoice, for Allah has prepared for them what the eye has not seen, the ear has not heard, and the heart has not been able to conceive. The enemy knows this to be true and is now doing everything to prevent the so-called Negroes from seeing the hereafter.

How To Eat To Live, Book Two

Chapter 14

FASTING

There is so much food of various kinds in the earth for us to eat we could hardly mention by names.

We are the wisest of all life on earth and in the heavens above the earth. Almighty God, Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praise is due forever, has taught me. We must have regularity in everything we do.

SINCE THE earth is full of food, this does not mean we should try to eat the food all day long. We should eat one meal a day and when we eat this one meal, be sure it is of the best food for our bodies to digest and to keep us alive without our lives being agitated by enemies from the food and drinks we put in our bodies.

We have to safeguard our health against the enemies of our health by eating one meal a day. This gives an enemy (germ) that may be in our food time to die – to be completely dead at the end of twenty-four hours.

IF WE KEEP adding more food, it gives the germ strength and working power to destroy the very delicate and perfect machinery of our bodies. By nature, we are made of the best. And, we have to continue to give our bodies the best and in a moderate way.

Fasting is one of the greatest “doctors” we have. Fasting is prescribed for us in the Holy Qur-an and in the Bible. The Bible does not teach us as much of how good fasting is health-wise, as the Holy Qur-an does.

THE BIBLE’S teaching on fasting is mostly spiritual purposes. On one occasion, we find where Moses fasted for the cure of his sister, Miriam, who had contracted leprosy because of speaking carelessly of Moses. Her brother (Moses) then had to seek a cure from God for her.

But fasting, as Allah prescribed for us, is to prolong our lives with better health by eating the right food and not eating too frequently.

FASTING DOES much for us. A three-day fast will tell the story – you feel better; your body begins to feel lighter and not weighty as it felt when it was filled with food; your thinking is clearer.

Let us fast as often as we feel that we have not a desire for food. If you do not desire food, do not eat it. Eat when you are very hungry (of course, this does not apply to the sick, because the sick are exempt from fasting).

WHEN YOU fast, it will advance you spiritually. The Holy Qur-an teaches us that Allah has a mighty reward for the believing men and the believing women, and the fasting men and the fasting women. This does not mean that we can do nothing but fast and still do many other evil things and be rewarded with good rewards.

When fasting is practiced for good, good results will follow. But, if we fast, as the Bible mentions in Isaiah, just for debate, our fast is no good. The Bible teaches that the fasts of people who go out and tell others that “I had a dream” and then call dreams, visions, are not accepted.

SOME PEOPLE tell stories about something they accomplish on the fast that they did not accomplish. The Bible answers such a person in these words: If you dream a dream, tell a dream and do not try to tell a dream for a vision from the Lord, when you did not get such a vision.

We must remember that we cannot be “holier than thou,” unless we are really holy. So, let us say of ourselves what we really are and not what we are not because it is good in the eye sight of God for us to speak the truth.

FAST! It cleans the impurities out of the blood and causes the body to eliminate the poison stored in it from previous meals – sometimes from previous meals of many years, as the folds in our intestines can carry particles of food for a long time, and holds strength enough in them to keep us alive for two months. Our bodies store food in the folds of the intestines and in the blood stream.

After a fast of three days – and from that to nine days – these particles of food and poison that have accumulated will be eliminated. The blood is being cleansed of its impurities because the impurities have nothing to keep them in power to live; therefore, they die and leave the person happy and enjoying the results of a healthy body – which is the greatest enjoyment we can have.

WE ARE TAUGHT…and all religions teach fasting…so that includes us too. Of course, as long as we are in the Presence of God, we do not have to fast. But, we are not always in His Presence. In the Hereafter when all people will receive rewards of goodness who see the Hereafter, there will be no fasting.

WE, THE RIGHTEOUS, must fast as long as we are present and among the unrighteous. So, fasting is prescribed for us as well as those (people) before us. Let us look at the verse in the Holy Qur’an 2:183 translated by Maulana Muhammad Ali (copyright-1963): “O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard against evil.” Here it tells us why fasting is prescribed for us. It guards us against doing evil. Read the footnote of Maulana Muhammad Ali’s translation of this chapter for footnote No. 225.*

WE HERE (Elijah Muhammad and his Followers)…I prescribe for you the month of December to fast in – if you are able to take the fast – instead of the regular month that travels through the year, called Ramadan by the Muslims; the month in which they say Muhammad received the Holy Qur’an.

WHY DID I prescribe for you the month of December? It is because it was in this month that you used to worship a dead prophet by the name of Jesus. And, it was the month that you wasted your money and wealth to worship the 25th day of this month, December, as the Christians do. The Christians know that it is not the birthday of Jesus; for they do not know the birthday of Jesus. No one knows it, because being persecuted by the Jews, Joseph and Mary feared the death of not only their newborn baby that they were bringing to birth, but even feared for their own lives for committing the act out of wedlock. They feared Herod and his army and the religious sect of the Jews condemning them to be punished with death. But, they were not to be killed for they were for a sign of the Black Man in America, according to the Holy Qur-an. See Holy Qur-an, Chapter 4:171.

While the Christians have deceived you in worshiping the birthday of Nimrod who was born the 25th day of that month, no man knows the day Jesus was born, but they (Joseph and Mary) themselves. This is a sign right there; no man of the evil world was to know when the spiritual birth of Muhammad was to take place. And, most surely they do not know. So, do not fast as the other religious people fast, for they have different objects and ways in which they fast, which are against the meaningful fasts that we take.

FASTING takes away evil desires. Fasting takes from us filthy desires. Fasting takes from us the desire to do evil against self and our brothers and sisters. We are created of the material of goodness. Therefore, good belongs to us…and it should not be hard for us to turn to our own selves in which we were created…good.

WE are approaching the month of December, in which we usually abstain from eating in the daylight hours, as the Orthodox Muslims do, the ninth (9th) month of their calendar, the month of Ramadan.

I set up this for you and me, to try to drive out of us the old white slavemaster’s worship of a false birthday (December 25th) of Jesus.

ALLAH (God) Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, Taught me, that Jesus was not even born during the entire month of December.

THE scholars agree, that according to their history, Jesus could not have been born in December.

ALLAH (God) Taught me that Jesus was born between the first and the second week in September, instead of December. But, no one knew the day of Jesus’ birth except Joseph and Mary.

BECAUSE of the Jews’ hot persecution against the birth of Jesus, the exact day of his birth was kept a secret, from the public. So, to break my people up from the worship of a false birthday of Jesus, we turned to abstaining from eating in the daylight hours during the month of December. This is, in no way, a FAST!

WHEN we abstain from food for so short a time as from early morning until after sundown and darkness begins to appear – we cannot call this a FAST, for we are eating the same way that we have always been eating (one meal in that day). IT is no FAST to me and to my followers to eat a meal after Sundown. We cannot call it a FAST!

A FAST should be from two (2) to three (3) days without eating food. If we are seeking spiritual advancement, we should fast for three days.

IN the case of Orthodox Muslims worshipping Ramadan by not eating until after sunset, and darkness approaches (they can eat all night long if they want to, until the next morning at dawn) – they call this a FAST!

THEY say that they do this in the Month of Ramadan because Ramadan is the month in which the Holy Qur-an was revealed to Muhammad.

BUT, the way that I understand scripture, it teaches us that Muhammad received the Holy Qur-an over a period of twenty-three (23) years.

MUHAMMAD did not receive the Holy Qur-an in one night or in one day. And, if he received the whole Holy Qur’an in the month of Ramadan, WHY FAST in that month?

IF we are given what we want (Holy Qur’an) in that month, without FASTING, I cannot understand why we should FAST in the month of Ramadan, for the first revelation of the Holy Qur’an was already given in that month, without FASTING.

IT would look more proper for us to be rejoicing over the great salvation (Holy Qur’an) that Allah (God) sent to us, in the month of Ramadan.

If you can convince me it is necessary to Fast in the month of Ramadan because of Muhammad receiving the Holy Qur-an, or the first revelation of the Holy Qur-an, then I will go along with it. However, since the Qur-an was received over a period of years, I am very much baffled in trying to understand why we should FAST in the month of Ramadan.

WE should be rejoicing because of receiving the Holy Qur’an and we should teach others to rejoice throughout the month of Ramadan, if it is because the Holy Qur’an was revealed in that month.

OF COURSE, this is the Arab way, in their religious belief, that they should FAST. But I do say that it is not necessary to FAST to get something that you have already received.

WE should all thank Allah and be grateful to Allah (God) for Giving us the truth, or the Great Revelation (Holy Qur’an), that will guide us into a clearer truth than we have had in the past.

SO, I am not asking my followers to FAST in the month of December because of the birth of a prophet (Jesus) nor do we want to worship his birth or worship because some great Revelation was sent down to another prophet. No, it is just to keep my followers from worshipping falsehood, instead of truth, and to prevent them from spending their money in the falsehood, instead of truth, and to prevent them from spending their money in the falsehood of Santa Claus.

There are so many untruths that the people of untruth (white race) have mislead us in. We must come out of untruth, we must come out of falsehood.

I do know that FASTING is good. I have tried FASTING for many years myself. I do know that FASTING is good for our health and FASTING is good for our spiritual advancement.

IT is actually good for us to take a FAST and abstain from eating food for a period of days.

BUT, you are not actually FASTING when you are going to eat everyday, regardless to what time you may set for the meal. If you eat within twenty-four (24) hours, you cannot really consider it as a FAST.

AND, so I say to my followers, WE ARE NOT FASTING (in December) we are just abstaining from taking a part with false worship. We abstain from eating throughout the month of Ramadan – the month of December.

It is good for us to abstain from eating meat, for we should not eat meat at all. Meat is not good for our health nor for our body.

ACTUALLY by nature, we are not made to live off meat.

ALLAH, (God) Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, Taught me, that no meat is good for us, except the little pigeon (squab) that has never flown from its nest. But, we eat meat.

BEEF – coarse meat, such as beef – we should not wear out our stomach trying to digest this coarse meat. We should not eat any meat – not even lamb.

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.

BIRDS – ALLAH (God) Taught me that no bird is good for us to eat, and if you watch the nature of a bird, you will also agree that the bird is not fit to eat.

BUT, following a people whom the Holy Qur’an describes as ‘eating like a beast’ (white race) – they eat anything that they want to eat and they do not care concerning the harm that it is doing to their life. It is hard to live a hundred (100) years eating the way the white race eats – not to think of being able to live from 200 to 900 years like Noah and Methuselah lived.

ALLAH (God) Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, Taught me, that the people of the planet Mars live 1,200 of our earth years.

I do not know what they eat of their planet life, as Allah (God) did not Teach me what they eat. And I did not ask Him in the first place.

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 I could say, “Prepare, fish, lamb or chicken,” and have it prepared for me.

FAST – for 3 days – FAST for 3 x 3 days, FAST for 9 days or FAST for 27 days. FASTING is good for us. It gives our blood time to cleanse itself, and in so doing it makes us think clearer.

IF you make a habit of FASTING – you are not going to get sick. Abstain from eating, if you are eating the right kind of food, you can FAST but when you eat again, you poison your body.

STAY AWAY from that which is not good for us.

ABSTAINING FROM FOOD, FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN, UNTIL THE SUN SETS – THIS IS NOT FASTING.

*HOLY QUR-AN 2:183

O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard against evil.

*Footnote #225
Fasting is a religious institution almost as universal as prayer, and in Islam it is one of the five fundamental practical ordinances, the other four being prayer, poor-rate (charity), pilgrimage and jihad. “Fasting has in all ages and among all nations been an exercise much in use in times of mourning, sorrow and affliction.” It is also in vogue among the Hindus. Even Christians were recommended by Jesus to keep the fasts: “Moreover when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance. … But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head and wash thy face” (Matt. 6: 16, 17). Again, when the Pharisees objected to Jesus’ disciples not keeping the fasts as often as John’s, his answer was that when he was taken away, “then shall they fast in those days” (Luke 5:33-35).
But Islam has introduced quite a new meaning into the institution of fasting. Before Islam, fasting meant the suffering of some privation in times of mourning and sorrow; in Islam, it becomes an institution for the improvement of the moral and spiritual condition of man. This is plainly stated in the concluding words, so that you may guard against evil. The object is that man may learn how he can shun evil, and hence fasting in Islam does not mean simply abstaining from food, but from every kind of evil. In fact, abstention from food is only a step to make a man realize that if he can, in obedience to Divine injunctions, abstain from that which is otherwise lawful, how much more necessary is it that he should abstain from the evil ways which are forbidden by God. All the institutions of Islam are, in fact, practical steps leading to perfect purification of the soul. But along with moral elevation, which is aimed at in fasting, another object seems to be hinted at, i.e., that the Muslims should habituate themselves to suffer tribulations and hardships physically as well.

Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – سورة البقرة

2:285

285  The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. They all believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers. We make no difference between any of His messengers. And they say: We hear and obey; our Lord, Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the eventual course.

2:286

286  Allah imposes not on any soul a duty beyond its scope. For it, is that which it earns of good, and against it that which it works of evil. Our Lord, punish us not if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us. Our Lord, impose not on us (afflictions) which we have not the strength to bear. And pardon us! And grant us protection! And have mercy on us! Thou art our Patron, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.
