As-Salaam Alaikum.

On behalf of the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad under my Leadership, we are happy over the acceptance of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed and his followers to share with us in the Islamic Family Reunion.

Allah has said through the mouth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) in the Holy Quran that He will settle the differences between those of us who believe. Allah�s desire is that the Muslims be united. I thank Allah personally for all the efforts that Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, and others, are making and will continue to make with the Help of Allah, along with myself, to forge the strongest possible unity among all of the Muslims in the United States of America and throughout the world.

This Islamic Family Reunion is open to all who profess a belief in Islam. I pray that Allah will bless the steps that we make toward unity that one day soon, Insh�Allah, we will be as Allah commands. He wanted us to stand together as a solid wall; a wall of protection; a wall of peace and security in the midst of danger.

I look forward to meeting with Imam Warith Deen Mohammed within the next few days.

As-Salaam Alaikum,

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
Servant to the Lost-Found
Nation of Islam in the West
