Master Fard Muhammad taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad the utmost of the meanings of the Bible and the Holy Qur�an. He, in turn, taught us what his Teacher taught him.

It was the best way to teach the best knowledge, or supreme wisdom. It was the best way to teach us. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the best person for Allah to use for this purpose.

But, how did we, as a people�including a great many of us who said we were his followers�respond to his method, way, or approach to our problems? How did we react to his use of the scriptures, which was under the guidance of his Teacher? We acted by him as we act now by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan; like Moses acted by the Wise Man.

One day the Honorable Elijah Muhammad privately informed one of his ministers that some of the Believers complained that he used too much of the Bible and Qur�an in his talks. He indicated that he had weighed that entire situation and he told that helper to continue in the way that he was going because, their hearts were too wicked.

This was an example of how blind they (we) were and yet how wise, loving and compassionate he was towards them (us). There is no way we can examine the approach, methods, and teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and not see the dominate position, or importance, or the weight he saw in giving to us and the world the meanings he was taught of the scriptures. Yet these Believers approached him with their complaints about his way of teaching, guiding and uplifting them (though it was, in that instance, being done through one of their brothers). They were blindly telling him, to his face, that they did not like his way, that they were objecting to and rejecting his way, (even subconsciously that they knew better than he did how to present his teachings)�which was for their benefit�without seeing how they looked to him and to the God Who raised him for them (us).

Here we are today, doing the same thing today, by our blind, or semi-blind way of relating to Minister Farrakhan. I don�t pretend to know everything the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught, including the meanings of every part of the scriptures. However, I know enough to bear solid witness that Minister Farrakhan teaches 24-7 from his teacher�s words, or wisdom, which includes the divine interpretation of the scriptures.

What both the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught and Minister Farrakhan teaches is that which the Bible, in many places calls, the hidden wisdom, which God would reveal at the end of this world, which is NOW!

What follows is a part of it.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that a little better than fifteen thousand years ago in this cycle of world history writings, the exalted assembly or the twenty-four scientists of our nation met in secret in the Holy city of Mecca. They met to write the mother of the books in the Holy Qur�an.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that God taught him that twenty-three of Them (Scientists) actually did the work of writing and the twenty-fourth acted or served as Judge over the writings.

The Writers of this book, which They called the Mother of the book or Holy Qur�an, had portions or sections to it that were to be delivered to certain persons (prophets), as books, many years later.

These scriptures were books, within themselves, and again, they comprised one big book, called the Mother of the Books.

These writings were written to be delivered thousands of years later, by Their descendents�also Scientists�to such prophets as Noah, Abraham, Lot, Moses and so on. That has happened.

These wise Writers, or Scientists, knew in advance exactly what the wicked people, in the days of these prophets, would do to the scriptures after the death of these prophets. They saw with unerring clarity and accuracy that the wicked would form (rewrite or edit) these scriptures, over time, in ways to serve their evil purposes.

After Jesus� death, several scholars produced writings, about persons and events, which they claimed fulfilled what was written by the prophets. They wrote as if that, which the prophets prophesied would come at the end of this world, had already come decades earlier, in the days of Jesus and Paul.

We have these writings today and they are called the Bible or the Old Testament and New Testament.

The last portion, part, section, or book, that the Scientists wrote, was the Holy Qur�an�the book that we have. It was a part of the larger book, all of which was written a little over fifteen thousand years ago. This larger book is referred to, in the Holy Qur�an, (which we have) as the Mother of the Books. This larger book is mentioned in the holy book, (which we have) as safe and with Us.

Now, They wrote this holy book, (Qur�an), (the one that we have in our homes) a bit over 15,000 years ago, along with the books, (which were later to be revealed to various prophets) in perfect anticipation of the form and contents that the Bible would be in when the Holy Qur�an would be revealed. It was revealed 1,400 years ago to Muhammad.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was well acquainted with the contents of the Bible when he met Master Fard Muhammad, Who gave him the Holy Qur�an. His Teacher, however, had to teach him the meanings of the Bible.

Out of that he learned that there was not a page in the Bible that did not refer to his people�the Black man and woman in America.

Master Fard Muhammad showed him the relationship between the Bible and the Holy Qur�an, with such depth, that it became clear to him that, in fact, when understood, these two books were ultimately in harmony, or in agreement with each other/ They even verified each other. Moreover, both books verify everything the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan teach and even what they do.

From what his Teacher taught him of the scriptures, he was able to recognize Minister Farrakhan, to be that special helper of his, as Aaron was to Moses.

Did you say that this is unverifiable mumbo-jumbo and that you disbelieve it? Then, ask yourself, since you did not create the heavens or the earth, since you are not the upholder of the powers that govern the universe, and since you did not write the scriptures, whose knowledge and understanding dominates your mind? By whose wisdom do you see everyone and everything, form your judgments, etc.? Who have we served for the past four plus centuries? Were they lovers of the scriptures? What is hindering you from seeing that this is true? Could it be that you are the one who is the believer in unverified mumbo-jumbo?

It has been universally acknowledge that the Bible has been tampered with in the worst way. We do not have the pure texts as delivered by the Gods to the prophets to the public. Now, only One with supreme intelligence and the supreme understanding of everything, including the scriptures, could unravel the true meanings of the Bible.

The true interpretation of the Bible and the Holy Qur�an is supreme wisdom.

When we rightly understand the plan of God, to set right that which is wrong throughout the earth, we will be joyful and grateful over the supreme efforts involved, first in the writing of the scriptures fifteen thousand plus years ago; next, in the interpretation of the same, and then in producing the modern Moses and Aaron.

Set the Bible and Holy Qur�an on a table before you. In these books you have that which was written by the Scientists (Gods) a little better than fifteen thousand years ago.

Now put besides these two books the essential teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan in written form, or audio or videotapes. What you have in their words represents the correct or best interpretation, or meanings of the Bible and the Holy Qur�an. What these two men have set before us, and the world, verifies the scriptures and the scriptures verifies what they taught.

Mathematics, science, human nature, true history, and current events, when the latter is reported accurately�all verify what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Minster Farrakhan teach, as well as the steps they have (and will) made and will make.

In other words what you have in the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan which is of Allah�s own perfect understanding of what the Gods wrote and intended by Their words is the best, the most correct or accurate light in which to see everybody and everything.

Of course, the writings of the Gods or Scientists, as well as the perfect interpretation given by Allah in the person of Master Fard Muhammad to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan covers a certain amount of time which is about to run out in the upcoming war or the final aspect of the war of Armageddon.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has already been given the new wisdom and Minister Farrakhan is in the process of receiving his portion, both of which will be fully revealed after Armageddon.

Now, consider this from the second chapter of "Farrakhan: God�s Man on the Straight Path." Its title is A Valuable Man.

More next issue, Allah willing.
