"They will make excuses to you when you
return to them. Say: Make no excuse, we shall not believe you; Allah
has informed us of matters relating to you. And Allah and His
Messenger will now see your actions, then you will be brought back to
the Knower of the unseen and the seen, then He will inform you of what
you did." �Holy Qur�an, Surah 9, verse 94.
The Honorable Elijah Muha-mmad has been absent for the last 26
years. Prior to his departure, he prepared his Followers for the great
battle to come, as part of a Divine Plan revealed to him by Almighty
God Allah. As Moses served the Israelites throughout their wilderness
journey, so it is with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Divinely
Appointed Spiritual Guide for his people traveling through this
Wilderness of North America on our Exodus. The Honorable Minister
Louis Farrakhan in turn, was Divinely appointed by the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad as his Greatest Helper serving Allah as Aaron was
appointed to aid Moses.
The Prophet Muhammad, (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him), received the Revelation of the Holy Qur�an throughout a period
of 23 and one half years to nearly 24 years. Throughout his lifetime
after the age of 40, portions of the Qur�an were revealed to him
during specific periods and events that took place in his life�s
mission following his initial call. The Honorable Minister Farrakhan
has fulfilled exactly 23 and one half to nearly 24 years since his
Divine Call began in 1977. This number of years equals the same number
of years that it took Prophet Muhammad to receive the entire
Revelation of the Holy Qur�an.
When the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was on the run from his enemies
on the East coast for seven years following his flight from the city
of Detroit in 1935, he was assigned the reading of 104 books at the
Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. by his Teacher Master Fard
Muhammad. He spoke to his Followers concerning the contents of those
books. He said that the majority of those books pertained to the life
of Prophet Muhammad. He further stated that of these 104 books, he
liked the Holy Qur�an the best. He also stated that he would not rest
until he made the Holy Qur�an the Law of the land.
In a few more days, we will be approaching The Sacred Month of
Ramadan, the month in which the Holy Qur�an was revealed. In this
Month of Ramadan, in the year 2001, the Muslim World is under seige,
pitting one Muslim against another.
The Islamic Lunar Calendar Change, initiated with the Flight of the
Prophet from the Holy City of Mecca to Medinah over 1,400 years ago,
recedes each successive year approximately 11 days earlier. The
prophetic signs of the ghastly attack on the Twin Towers within the
World Trade Center in New York City on September 11th, has given rise
to a military response from the United States government being staged
in Afghanistan which began on the evening of October seventh. This day
marked the 104th birthday of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad with no let
up in the bombing, contining into the month of Ramadan.
What might this mean within the prophetic cycle of time?
Due to this indignation, the Muslim world is now being put on the
chilling alert that the possible use of nuclear and biochemical
weapons might be contemplated in the escalation of war. The ever
reverberating code of 9/11 is revealed in these events as we move into
the Month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Lunar Calendar
losing 11 days each consecutive year.
When the Prophet returned from his journey during the Tabuk
Expedition described in Surah 9, the people were questioned about
their actions. "They will swear to you that
you may be pleased with them. But if you are pleased with them, yet
surely Allah is not pleased with the transgressing people."
�Holy Qur�an, Surah 9, verse 96. With the sighting of the new
Moon in the month of November, we will have entered Ramadan with war
raging in the land of Muslims. We must be ever prayerful in this time
of Ramadan�A World in Crisis. "Nor spend they
any thing, small or great, nor do they traverse a valley but it is
written down for them, that Allah may reward them for the best of what
they did." �Holy Qur�an, Surah 9, verse 121.
Ramadan Mubarak!
