Message to the Black man in America by Elijah Muhammad! What do we know about this book?

Harry, how can you say that Elijah Muhammad's book Message To The Blackman is not a spiritual book when it teaches you of the knowledge of Allah, ourself, and the evils of America? Have you even read the entire book before wasting your time printing a bunch of foolishness on here?

In Message To The Blackman, Elijah Muhammad promoted the teaching of doing-for-self, on a collective/nation level. Elijah Muhammad told our people about respect that would come to us, as a people, when his teachings of self-respect and collectively doing-for-self are applied, in which he states: "We want to build a nation that will be recognized as a nation that will be self-respecting and receive respect of the other nations of the earth."

Another thing Elijah Muhammad spoke in his book about race relations, and the current events of today (coming in with a bang), involving racial tensions that we haven't seen in America in decades, prove that what he taught is true. The fact that our communities are morally and economically worse (leading to higher crime rates, incarceration rates, single parent home rates, abortion rates, diseases, etc.), than they were during segregation, further, proves that Elijah Muhammad was not an ignorant man as you claim and that it is a spiritual book.

Siebra,

The reason Message to the Black man in America by Elijah Muhammad is not our spiritual book/Bible is because Elijah Muhammad was clearly not Black America's first genuine prophet!

To be a genuine prophet God has to be with you and God was never with Elijah Muhammad!

I am Black America's first genuine prophet because I said something that gave divine spiritual direction to all Black Americans including Mr. Farrakhan and the world at large when I said prophets are racially different. That was my first revelation that confirms I am Black America's first genuine prophet. If any people needed to know and must know that prophets are racially different is Black Americans.

My second revelation was that Black Americans are a NEW race of people. Elijah Muhammad and Mr. Farrakhan does not know that Black Americans are a NEW race of people otherwise they would have known not to suck up to the Arabian people and Prophet Mohammed Islamic religion.

Message to the Black man in America is an ordinary book with ordinary knowledge and some of the knowledge in the book can be disputed.

A spiritual book is about the prophet, the things he said and did things that happened after his anointing. Message to the Black man in America does not a Black American prophet and therefore the book is just an ordinary book.
