Will you be The Winner?

by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

The non-Muslim world cannot win in a war against Allah the Great Mahdi, with outer space weapons or inner space weapons. It does not matter, for He has power over everything -- the forces of nature and even our brains. He turns them to thinking and doing that which pleases Him. The great waste of money to build your defense against Him or the third World War is useless.

You don't need Navys, ground forces, air forces, standing armies to fight this last war. What America needs to win is to give freedom and equal justice to her slaves (the so-called Negroes). This injustice to her slaves is the real cause of this final war. Give them up to return to their own or divide with them the country that you took from their people (the Indians), which they have helped you to build up and maintain with their sweat and blood for 400 years. They even gave all of their brain power to you. They helped you kill anyone that you said was your enemy; even if it was their own brother or your own brother. What have you given them for their labor and lives?

It is just a job to labor for you. You hunt them and shoot them down like would game, burn them and castrate them, and they are counted as sheep for the slaughter -- all who seek justice. You have continuously persecuted me and my poor followers for 25 years. Both fathers and sons are sent to prison. Just because we believe in justice and teach our brethren the same. We are imprisoned and forced to eat the poison and divinely prohibited flesh of the filthy swine as our food, to your joy.

You set your agents and guards around and about our meeting places, where we are trying to serve the God of our fathers, to frighten our poor, blind, deaf and dumb people away from hearing and believing the truth. With 50 states, which equal approximately 6 million square miles with billions of dollars in gold buried and rusting which we helped to get for you, yet none is ours -- not the tiniest or the worthless state of yours have you offered your loyal slaves. Not even one square mile for their 400 years of labor and lives.

Shall you be the winner in the third World War? The God of Justice (The Son of Man, the Great Mahdi) shall be the winner. He is on the side of the so-called Negroes, to free them from you, their killers. As it is written: "Shall the prey be taken from the mighty or the lawful captives delivered? But thus saith the Lord even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee. I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood. As with sweet wine and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer" (Isa. 49:24-26).

We, the so-called Negroes, are the prey. Thou are the Mighty, the terrible ones, thanks to Allah, the Greatest, who is with us, to save and deliver us His people -- 20 million members of the Tribe of Shabazz -- who must have some of this earth, that they can call their own. Their God will give it to them. But woe unto you, the unjust judges, for the Son of Man shall destroy thee and give the kingdom to the slave. He is not to come. He is here! Believe it or not, I seek refuge in Him from your evil plannings.

You have been so busy trying to keep your slaves (the so-called Negroes) under your foot, sitting, watching, spying on them to prevent them from knowing the truth of this day of our salvation, that you have failed to see and learn the strength and power of your enemies.

You have boasted that you could police the world and have come pretty near doing so but have failed to the "Bear"   behind the tree and the "Lion"  in the thicket. The sky over you is being filled with your enemy's arms which can be seen with the naked eye.

Your scientists are troubled and at their wits' end to find time to make ready, as it is written:  "I have set the point of the sword against all their gates; that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied. Ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter"  (Ezekiel 21:15). Answer:  "For the tidings; because it cometh and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water"  (Ezekiel 21:7).

The Holy Qur'an also says: And you shall see every nation kneeling down. Every nation shall be called to is book. Do you think that you want to be called to yours? Today, you shall be rewarded for what you did. This is our book that speaks against you with justice. Surely we wrote what you did" (45:28, 29).

Woe, woe to America! Her day is near, and she shall be visited. Your enemies warn you that the third and final World War will be decided in your own country and not in theirs. Remember the old Bible's sayings:   "Wheresoever the carcass is, there will be eagles gathered together"   (Matt. 25:28). You must understand know to whom the parable is directed.
