The Message To The Blackman in America was my first encounter with a Real Powerful Black man dedicated to God (Allah) who was successful in life at bringing us together for the establishment of a Righteous, Peaceful, Equal and Harmonious civilization right here on earth NOW!
With that said,
Islam - means "Peace" and the only way to have peace and to affect peace into this world is through - Submitting your Will to do the Will of God (Allah). By aligning our Mind and Will with the Will of God all things become possible.
The Nation of Islam (NOI) does not teach "Arab Culture" as Arab Culture for some strange reason has become identified with Islam. So do not pick up this book expecting to learn about Arab Culture. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad nor Min. Farrakhan teaches Arab Culture and many who claim Islam are angry with them and their followers for this reason alone. It teaches Islam as defined by God (Allah) and the Holy Quran.
The Hon. Elijah Muhammad said he met with God (the Supreme Being) in the Person (or physical appearance) of Master Fard Muhammad. That He (Master Fard Muhammad) proved clearly to him that he was indeed who he said he was, God.
Now, if The Hon. Elijah Muhammad has indeed met with God (Allah) and submitted his Will to do the Will of God (Allah), then he should be successful in the Mission that God (Allah) has given him, which The Hon Elijah Muhammad says is to uplift Black people in America. Which means to me, waking them up to who they really are and showing them by example what the can have here and now. Once that is done, to take what we have and give it to humanity for thhe establishment of peace.
Lets look at the outcome of his meeting, learning and travels with Master Fard Muhammad whom he says is God (Allah in Person) and whom he spent approx. 3 years learning from. Learning what, according to the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, the Science of Everything.
He goes from another barely employed black man on welfare with a family to feed, to a successful Leader, Teacher, Businessman, Author, Philanthropist and Servant of God.
He builds a religious organization, the Nation of Islam with mosques in every major city in America. The basic teaching being the obedience to God (Allah) and the buiding of a Righteous Civilization.
He creates an educational system (ACTUAL SCHOOLS) throughout America, the University of Islam (k-12). Students learning the basics of any educational system but General Discipline, Civility, the Knowledge of Self and the importance of Unity and duty to your people as well.
He builds and Entreprenuerial Business empire:
Muhammmad Speaks Newspaper distributed nationally.
An Import Business rooted in Fish by which he could wean Blacks off of the harmful Pork we were indulging in every day of the week.
Books Stores that sold books he authored on How to Eat to Live, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Books on the Theologyy of God (Allah) and Time.
HE SETUP HIS OWN - trucking, shipping and distribution company by which products of the Nation (NOI) could reach people throughout thhe country and the world.
Several restaurants, barbershops and other smaller businesses were created as well. It is said that in 1975 the Nation of Islam was worth tens of millions of dollars.
He gives us a functional history and origin of Black and all other peoples of the earth. A history that scholars keep alluding to but also keep avoiding. Read "The Making of the Whiteman" by Paul Lawrence Guthrie annd "The Destruction of Black Cvilization" by Chancellor Williams
MOST IMPORTANTLY, he affected positive change in life for thousands of Black men and women socially, educationally, politically, financially and spiriitually. He made weak men strong, he gave dumb people (like myself) the desire to speak intelligently and boldly to any and everyone. He elevated the position of the Woman in the society of the NOI to that of Co-creator with God as opposed to the secondary negatively connotated position usually afforded her in the church. He transformed crooks, thugs, gangbangers into reflections of God!
Now FOUR very important things that stick out here in my mind:
1) ALL THIS FROM A MAN WHO SAYS HE MET WITH GOD (ALLAH).
2) ALL THIS DONE WITHOUT THE SPONSORSHIP, BENEVOLENCE and ASSISTANCE OF WHITE PEOPLE.
3) HE, A BLACK MAN IN AMERICA IN THE 1930'S, 40'S, 50'S 60' AND 70'S CREATES ALL THIS WHILE ATTRACTING AND UNIFYING THOUSANDS OF OTHER BLACKS AND NEVER ONCE TEACHING "LETS GO BACK TO AFRICA"
4)AND DOES THIS WHILE MAKING CLEAR WHO THOSE ARE THAT DISRUPTED OUR CIVILIZATION AND PEACE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Such a man to my knowledge does not exist outside of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Its no wonder he was able to attract and create a Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Muhammad Ali, Clarence 13X and many many more.
Oh and before you take for actual fact what others outside the NOI have to say in regards to Malcolm X at least listen to a full discussion of it by those who were in the NOI. For example, to say that Malcolm saw White muslims for the first time when he went to Mecca is not true. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad had already sent Malcom to Egypt years before that on behalf of the Nation of Islam where he saw white muslims then.
Read this book! Listen to thhe tapes Min. Louis Farrakhan has done on what really happened wiith Malcolm X ([...]). In one tape in particular the same women who had children by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad speak their peace as to what happened.
THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THE MEDIA PAINTS THEM TO BE - Which is usually the case when it comes to Black people in America.
Lastly, the first Arab people were Black people! Arabic is an Afroasiatic language, in other words, we created it ("African Origin of Civlization"). So for the Hon. Eliijah Muhammad to speak highly of the Arabic language is only to speak highly of our ingenuity. To speak highly of a people whom Prophet Muhammmad (PBUH) uplifted from idolotry and unified through the Quran, is to speak highly of what can be done with us.
