Justice for Muslims-
22 million
or suffer the consequences

by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

All of the religious philosophers, scholars and scientists agree to the truth that our galaxy, the sun, moon and stars�and especially the planets�are what is known as the sun�s family. The stars, millions and trillions of miles away from the sun, show the greatness of the Creator�s work that has not been equaled by anyone as yet.

If there is nothing wrong with the creation, where is the need for a new creation, or a re-creation? We agree spiritually about the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the law that governs them which they do not disobey a fraction of a second.

They are signs by which you and I can learn our own way of obedience and law-abiding unity of aims and purposes. Regardless of the direction in which we look, we can see this unity working in our universe. We see the unity and purpose in the stars.

Spiritually, we use nearby planets (nine of them) which are under the law of the sun. They beautifully bow and obey the great light and heat of the sun which causes them to make their cycles around it, because its attracting force.

The so-called Negro, the lost and found Nation of Islam, is being taught the physical works of this universe and the desire of the Creator in creating such an unlimited universe. Artificial glasses (telescopes) have not been able to extend our eyesight to the outside of the universe.

We imagine that it is dark, but we are not able to see beyond the light of the universe. Nor are we able, spiritually, to compete with the wisdom of our Maker.

This teaching is to awaken the mentally dead lost-found members of the Black original nation, to the greatness of their Father, Who created the universe, and to show us that we have been deprived of justice by others (the white race) who are greater in the power and knowledge of their own civilization.

The white race refuses to give equal justice to us. The physical universe was not created in such a manner, nor does this work compare with the work of the enemy, the devil.

The devil is contrary and disobedient to divine law, and is an opposer to the Will and purposes of the God of truth and righteousness. They are outright open enemies to God�s law and to the people of Allah (God) who love and try to obey His law.

The devil will go to war with the righteous against righteousness, truth, and justice. He was not created by the God of righteousness. He was created by the God of evil, an opponent to the God of righteousness, justice and equality.

Therefore, by nature he is an enemy and opposer of the freedom, justice and equality that is given by the God of truth and justice.

The so-called Negro must learn that these are the people who, the Bible teaches us, are the enemies of the God of righteousness. This is why judgment (destruction) was set for them, the day that they were put into power to rule us. Their power was limited to a period of 6,000 years. That time is up, and has been up since 1914.

We now face a complete change of worlds. The Bible has truth in it, if it is understood. The Bible teaches you against believing, following and obeying these people who are against divine law.

It also teaches us that those who represent themselves as priests and preachers should not be obeyed and followed, for they only use the teachings of the Bible as bait to convert you to accept them for your guides and teachers�then they mislead you.

They translated the scriptures into symbols, knowing that you would not be able to understand them (the symbols) unless Allah (God) raised up one among you and taught him the secret of the truth that is covered under symbolism.

I am he who has been risen to interpret the scriptures for you, if you accept me. You are certainly making great mistakes in your own conceptions of the meanings of the scriptures. But, as it is written: whosoever will, let him come and accept the truth. The righteous do not fight and oppose the rejecters in order to force them to accept the truth.

Allah (God) is self-sufficient and does not have any need to chase us and beg us to believe. He can create the faith in other people who have not been poisoned and robbed by the devils since they were babies.

We are and have to be remade spiritually to see and understand the divine truth before we can ever take our place again as members of the divine family.

For instance, if we take the guidings of a physical star, anyone of the planets�from Mercury to Neptune�will bring us back in the sun�s light tomorrow morning, as they all move eastward. They will again take us out of the darkness into the light of that mighty attracting light, the sun, which represents the truth of Almighty Allah (God).

The stars spiritually represent the guidance of prophets� and messengers� work of bringing people into the light of the truth of Allah (God). They are called stars because their spiritual work is similar to the physical work of the stars of heaven.

As the resurrected lost and found people of the aboriginal Black nation come into the light of truth, they are taught the roots of the physical creations and the wisdom of Allah (God) in order to make them greater in knowledge, greater in power, greater in guidance than were any leaders and teachers of the past.

We must forget about seeking light and guidance from a people and world which were created to bring spiritual darkness on the divine light of truth and guidance. This you, the so-called Negro, must get away from thinking that you have been led right by the enemies of Allah (God). You see what they are trying to do in your midst today�fight and oppose any light of truth and those who accept it (the Muslims).

They harass, persecute and kill the Muslims, because they know that the truth the Muslims are teaching will bring upon them the destruction of Almighty (God), in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever�for He will defend us.

We have been mocked, persecuted, imprisoned; shot, killed and openly deprived of justice in the courts. The State Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court have refused to listen to a case of miscarriage of justice against us for the past 35 years.

With the help of the so-called Negro pastors in Detroit, Mich., our enemies persecuted and drove out our Saviour Master Fard Muhammad, Who was under a disguise at the time as a common man, thereby fulfilling the scriptures.

Today the persecution continues, along with murder and every evil that they can do against us, the Muslims in America. They do this to put fear into our people in order to make them reject Islam, their salvation.

We ask for separation. They do not even want to see the Muslims, nor any of the other darker people separate because they know what it will mean for them.

Master Fard Muhammad has taught us that scriptures must be fulfilled, and that they prophesy the coming of the Just One Who will reveal and make manifest the unrighteous after their time and work of evil against the righteous is up.

This will be made manifest to the people so that they can make a choice of accepting the God of righteousness (Allah), or continue with the Gods of evil whose day is drawing them near to their doom.

We have been suffering here for 400 years, and I think this is long enough. Now we want to leave you.
