In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad
As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Sisters!
According to the Divine Supreme Wisdom Teachings of Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (PBUH), the first step in civilizing the savage is to teach her to cover her nakedness.
Since we were first brought to this Western Hemisphere, we have had no other teacher than our wicked slavemasters, so naturally, we practice their ways. Their ways are from their days of savagery – the 2,000 year period when they lived in the hills and cavesides of West Asia, now called Europe. And where they went upon all fours, eating raw meat, climbing trees, befriending the dog, and going naked.
Because of her history of nakedness, the devil woman has no shame. And the Blackwoman, though she is righteous by nature, has been following after the sinful ways of her former slavemaster; wearing dresses above her knees and showing off her form. This is no way for the Queen of the Universe to present herself to the world.
Our Beloved Messenger (PBUH) taught us that the Blackwoman “is more precious than a treasured black pearl, found deep within the Ocean’s waters. It is a most happy diver, who discovers such a rare example of art and wealth, and beauty; however there is no comparison of the black woman with gold of the mines, and pearls of the sea… Gold and precious pearls are discovered; they yet exist, but the knowledge is not known to so many of us. All praise is due to the Almighty God, Allah…“
You, Blackwoman, and your beautifully sculptured form are more valuable than gold, silver, pearls, and even diamonds – the most valued objects on the entire Earth. All of which are kept hidden deep beneath the surface, and it takes much effort to uncover their beauty. Are you not more valuable than these material objects? Is not your beauty worth making the effort to be made manifest? Emphatically, Yes!
But you diminish your value when you put your private parts on display. You should be ashamed to go out in the public with short dresses half-way up your thighs, and low-cut blouses revealing your most intimate body parts.
We must stop following after the devil and show some self-respect. Then and only then will we be respected by the Highest Civilized Societies of the Nations of Earth, especially our Asiatic Brothers and Sisters of the East from whom we have been lost for nearly 400 years.
Adult women should wear long skirts and dresses which are not form-fitting; blouses that are long enough to cover our rear and with sleeves that come to at least an inch and a half below the elbow. The blouses should not have a low-cut neckline.
We should also never wear high-heeled shoes. They are impractical as well as bad for the health.
Being Blackwomen in America, we face the added danger of possible attack from our enemies, the devils, who are ALWAYS on the prowl looking to beat or kill their former slaves. We live under the very shadow of death here in America and must always be prepared to defend ourselves if attacked. We must always think in terms of our safety, and by wearing impractical shoes and clothing, we limit our capability to fight, if attacked.
We should wear low-heeled shoes, with no more than an inch of heel, or flats. No cut-outs, as these can also be an impediment if the need arises for you to have to run for your life.
I pray Allah, you make the effort to revamp your wardrobe, incorporating articles of clothing that are more suited to be worn by the Goddesses that you are and that you begin to see yourself as too valuable for your most private body parts to be shown to the public like a savage devil.
Practice decency and intelligence. Cultivate your sense of dignity and present yourself to the world as The Queen of the Planet Earth in all your regalia.
Below are some websites that will give you a good idea of how to be both modest and fashionable without compromising your sense of style. In sha Allah (If it is the Will of Allah), they will actually enhance your sense of style. All praise is due to Allah.
As-Salaam-Alaikum!
This first website is my favorite.
Don’t be intimidated because it’s in Turkish 🙂
Just click the translation to English button on the top of the page.
Also be sure to “Like” them on Facebook. They always post cute fashions.
These are good too.
Here are some more examples of garments I have made.
Sisters, please purchase a sewing machine, teach yourself how to use it and begin making your own garments.
It is more cost effective and you can design and create garments suitable to be worn by a Goddess.
Go to YouTube and you will find tutorials for anything you can imagine.
Let’s get it in!
