In
his valuable Study Guides, the Honorable Minister Farrakhan wrote:
"Allah (God) says in the Holy Qur�an, when He desires a thing, He
only says, �Be!� and it is. Is it His Will that we be perfect? Yes.
He has already arranged forces to bring this about. His Power is
actively at work to perfect His Will that we be perfect human beings.
And what does a perfect human being look like? A perfect human being
looks like God."
Notice, that there is emotional as well as intellectual power by
which Allah creates.
Now, Min. Farrakhan�s conclusion is supported 100 percent by all of
the prophets of Allah. In fact about it, it is plainly stated, in the
scriptures that, in the hereafter, the people will live openly in the
presence of God, as gods and goddesses themselves�fully mature human
beings.
That was the way it was prior to 66 trillion years ago. So, the
Original Nation is now being fully restored to what and where we were,
in terms of our relation to the Almighty, our overall status and in the
best use of all of our powers.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad made clear, time and again, that it is
the will of Allah that we rise from our condition of spiritual death and
up into the power of self. He made clear, for example, in "Message
to the Blackman," that is why God came. He came to raise us
from our miserable state of condition and into permanent power. He came
to restore each one of us into the state of our true selves, which
implies complete oneness with Him and with each other.
Yes, many say that this is impossible. They say that this is dream
talk. They say that this is impractical talk. They say, "Let�s
get real. Man, don�t you know that niggers can�t unite. Besides, the
white man will never allow that to happen."
True. False. Right. Wrong. Let�s explain.
It�s true that "niggers" won�t ever unite. They can�t.
However, the condition or the state of existence that that word
implies is coming to an end as the power of the spirit of Allah enters
Black people.
This world of evil, as well as all of its products, is coming to an
end. God Himself is producing new people. "Niggers," like
their makers, can�t enter the kingdom of heaven. Every one must be
made new, in order to enter the kingdom of Allah, as it was written. The
process of making new those who would qualify for His kingdom is now
taking place. This is the process that Min. Farrakhan works to get all
into.
Truth preceded lie. Good came before evil. Right was prior to wrong.
God was first, not Satan. Reason, rational thinking and common sense
were, by far, much earlier than irrational thinking, fallacious
reasoning and insanity. What was original is now being restored minus
the root, which caused evil to come into existence in the fist place.
As Allah started the original process by which all that is came to
be, He is the One Who is now bringing to pass this process, by which all
is being made new. Just as there was none to prevent Him from bringing
in the first creation, there is none able to stop what He now wills to
come to pass and to bring to completion.
The more we understand this, the more in tune with Allah we can
think, feel and act, then the more intelligently we can participate in
the process.
Now, it�s vital for us to grasp the fact that the essential aspect
of the process by which we can qualify for the new world, is Min.
Farrakhan�s Study Guides, which were ordered by Allah. Some may doubt
that they were so ordered. But ask this: does the study of them bring
one into the spirit of Allah?
Allah is He, Who brought to us the knowledge of self, collectively
and individually. If we don�t grasp this first knowledge, in the
collective sense, we won�t grasp it for ourselves as individuals.
Allah started and guides what He determined is the perfect process by
which what He willed comes to pass exactly as He has willed. (See page
108 of "Our Savior Has Arrived.")
What, then, are we to conclude from all of the above? We all can
overcome every evil, including jealousy and even envy too. How? We can
with the healing power of His wisdom. But can we guide our selves into
the use of His wisdom? No! We need His direct help, just as Israel did,
according to the book of Exodus. They needed Moses and Aaron as we need
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan.
Yes, there are those who doubt this. We�ll come to that doubt
later. Meanwhile, what is the basis of this doubt?
Now, the word "can" is not like the word "may."
We can, in the sense that we do have the innate powers to over come
jealousy and envy. However, we cannot overcome such evils, on our power,
any more than a baby can guide its self into the knowledge and use of
its powers. So, we may, and we can overcome but only by the help of
Allah.
In my last article I mentioned that Min. Farrakhan was told, by his
teacher, to put only one star on the lapel of the collar of his uniform.
There is a deep connection between the wisdom in this; Allah�s choice
of Min. Farrakhan a long, long time before he was born and His use of
the Minister�s specially prepared heart, to serve His cause, which I
hope to cover this next issue, Allah willing.
Mr. Malududi, a famous translator of the Holy Qur�an wrote these
words in connection with the opening verses of Surah 87, which states
that Allah "showed the way."
I am breaking up his statement into several paragraphs for easier
reading. His words bear on what I�m working on.
He wrote of Allah: "That is, nothing was just created and left
to itself, but whatever was created to perform a certain function, it
was also taught the method of performing that function. In other words,
He is not merely the Creator but Guide too. He has taken the
responsibility to give guidance to whatever He has created in a
particular capacity to fit its nature and to guide it in the way
suitable for it.
"One kind of guidance is for the earth, the moon, the sun, and
the stars and planets, which they are following in performing their
role. Another kind of guidance is for water, air, light and the solid
and mineral elements, and they are performing the same services for
which they have been created accordingly.
"Still another kind of guidance is for vegetables, according to
which they take root and spread in the earth, sprout up from its layers,
obtain food from wherever Allah has created it for them, produce stem,
branches, leaves, blossom and fruit, and fulfill the function which has
been appointed for each of them.
"Still another kind of guidance is for the countless species of
animals of the land, and water, and for each member of the species, the
wonderful manifestation of which are clearly visible in the life of the
animals and in their works, so much so that even an atheist is compelled
to concede that different kinds of animals possess some sort of
inspirational knowledge which man cannot obtain even through his
instruments, not to speak of his senses.
"Then, there are two different kinds of guidance for man, which
correspond to his two different capacities. One kind of guidance is for
his animal life, by which each child learns to suck milk spontaneously
on birth, by which the eyes of man, his nose, ear, heart, brain, lungs,
kidney, liver, stomach, intestines, nerves, veins and arteries, all are
performing their respective functions, without man�s being conscious
of it, or his will�s having anything to do with the functions of these
organs.
"This is the guidance under which all physical and mental
changes pertaining to childhood, maturity, youth and old age go on
taking place in man, independent of his will, choice, even his
consciousness.
"The second kind of guidance is for his intellectual and
conscious life, the nature of which is absolutely different from the
guidance for unconscious life, for in this sphere of life a kind of
freedom has been transferred to man, for which the mode of guidance
meant for voluntary life is not suitable.
"For turning away from this last kind of guidance, man may offer
whatever arguments and excuses he may like, it is not credible that the
Creator Who has arranged guidance for everything in this universe
according to its capacity, might have set for man the destiny that he
may appropriate numerous things in His world freely, but might not have
made any arrangement to show what is the right way of using his choice
and what is the wrong way."
His words bear on two sets of words by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
which are related to our salvation. They are:
"Almighty Allah has taught me that if we study the universe and
the nature of the earth: its plants, animals and insect life; if we
study this part of Allah�s creation and the natural laws working among
them, we will have the key to the understanding of the way of life
intended by God for you and me."
The second was spoken to Min. Farrakhan. They begin "I want your
mind."
P.S. Recently, Min. Farrakhan�s Minister to the Latino Community�Minister
Muhammad Abdullah�began a wonderful work in Phoenix. More on his
visit, next issue, Allah willing.
