Mosque 12 Lecture on 8-18-2024
Sunday Lecture
00:00:00:21 – 00:00:21:21
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
It’s about surely I am being turned to thee. Oh Allah, trying to be upright to him who originated the heavens and the earth. And I am not from among the polytheists. Surely my prayer and my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for a law. The Lord of the worlds. No associate has he, and this am I commanded, and I am of those who submit.
00:00:21:24 – 00:00:40:10
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Oh Allah, thou art the King. There is no God but thee. Thou art, my Lord, and I am thy servant. I have been greatly unjust to myself, and I confess my faults. So grant me protection against all my faults, for none grants protection against faults but thee, and guide me to the best of morals. For none can guide to the best of morals but thee.
00:00:40:13 – 00:01:02:28
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
And turn away from me the evil and the indecent morals. For none can turn away from me the evil and the indecent morals. But the. And oh Allah make Muhammad successful and make the true followers of Muhammad successful as thou did. Make Abraham and the true followers of Abraham successful. For surely thou our praise worthy and magnify, and O Lord, bless Muhammad, and bless the true followers of Muhammad, as thou did.
00:01:02:28 – 00:01:25:25
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Bless Abraham and the true followers of Abraham. For surely thou our praise worthy and magnify in our midst. Amin. You may be seated in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful. I bear witness that there is but one God whose proper name is Allah, who appeared to us in the person of master Fard Muhammad the Great thee, to whom all praise is forever due.
00:01:25:27 – 00:01:47:10
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
And we forever thank a lot for intervening in our affairs and for raising up a messenger from among us that he could deposit his very mind into. And that man whom we speak of is none other than the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. But we further think Allah for sending the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad a helper, and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:01:47:10 – 00:02:19:29
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
He is our divine reminder, divine wonder, and the Messiah in our midst today. It is in their three holy and righteous names that I greet us all this morning with the greeting words of peace. Assalamualaikum. How are we this morning? Family. Sir, we thank you all for being with us this morning. And Muhammad, mass number 12, to hear the life giving, life saving and life resurrecting teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as taught and demonstrated by his Chief Student, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:02:19:29 – 00:02:50:04
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
All praises due to Allah, but we simply cannot thank ally enough for giving us the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, because he continues to demonstrate a true commitment to black people all over the planet Earth. Is that right? and he’s a man that, like his spiritual father, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He continues to demonstrate this unequaled love and unparalleled commitment to our people.
00:02:50:04 – 00:02:51:02
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Is that right?
00:02:51:26 – 00:03:17:15
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
But both of these men were taught and are still being taught by a master teacher. Is that right? And so our 53, the star, it says your companion airs not nor does he deviate, nor does he speak out of desire. It is not but revelation that is revealed. The one mighty in power has taught him the Lord of strength.
00:03:17:21 – 00:03:39:03
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
So he attained to perfection, and he is in the highest part of the horizon, and all praises due to Allah. So none of us could ever think a lie enough for traveling to North America by himself. 9000 miles from Mecca. And we are taught that he came in the flesh and the clothes of our enemies. Is that right?
00:03:39:05 – 00:04:00:25
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
And our enemies? Though they looked at him, but they really didn’t see the man, because they thought they were looking at one of our own, when in reality they were looking at one of us. Is that right? A man born to deliver us from the wicked hands of our oppressors. All praises due to Allah. But just like the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:04:00:27 – 00:04:02:08
Speaker 1
Many of us.
00:04:02:10 – 00:04:26:12
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
All of us have never seen Master Fard Muhammad. Is that right? But we see a witness of his presence and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Minister Farrakhan said once that if the lights go out and no one present can fix the light, but then someone comes who is able to turn that light back on.
00:04:26:12 – 00:04:52:22
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
You don’t have to ask if he is an electrician. His his work bears witness of him. Is that right? So if Master Fard Muhammad was not a wise man, he could not have produced two wise men and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. I was not born prior to Master Muhammad’s departure, like all of us, but we see his work being manifested in the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan today.
00:04:52:22 – 00:05:15:02
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Is that right? The Minister said that I had to live the life of Elijah to grow up into him. So now I can say to the world, as Jesus said to Philip, when he asked Jesus, when will you see the when will we see the father? And in the book of John Jesus said, have I not been among you this long, and you have not seen him when you see me, you see the father.
00:05:15:02 – 00:05:50:14
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
For me and my father are one. I am in him, and he is in me. When we look family at the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, we see the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Master Fard Muhammad all wrapped up into one. Is that right? So even though we may not have been present when Master Fard Muhammad was walking the streets of Detroit because of the sacrifice of those two men, it doesn’t affect the conviction in which we can say, we bear witness that there is no God but Allah who appeared to us in the person of master Fard Muhammad.
00:05:50:14 – 00:06:09:09
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
All praises due to Allah. Before I go any further family, I’d like to thank our Delaware Valley Student Regional Minister for his continued work in service and helping the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, not only in the city of Philadelphia, but all over our Delaware Valley region. And I thank him for the opportunity to share just a few words with you all this morning.
00:06:09:11 – 00:06:28:29
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Those of us in the ministry class always say it’s always an honor and a privilege to share just some of what we’ve been learning and studying. All praises due to Allah. But we’d also like to thank you all for submitting to our check procedure. Many of us saw a story months ago where there was a man who walked into a church.
00:06:28:29 – 00:06:55:09
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
I believe he was only 26 years old, and he shot at a pastor right in the middle of a sermon that was being live streamed. And we’ve talked about things like this a lot over the past few months, where you see a person coming in to either a religious event or a house of worship, and still deciding to engage in that type of violence, is that right?
00:06:55:11 – 00:07:16:29
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
So the check procedure is something that we should hold in the highest of stages. Is that right? It’s something that helps all the mosque around the Nation of Islam keep an amount of peace in order. So we wouldn’t like it if we came in here. And we had to think twice about the brother on the left of us, or the sister on the right of us.
00:07:16:29 – 00:07:47:06
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Right? That wouldn’t be conducive to the environment that how houses of worship intend to have. So, as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, all houses of worship need a group that is committed to protected. Is that right? And that’s what we have here at Muhammad’s mosque, number 12 and all over our Nation of Islam. So we’d like to thank everyone in attendance for allowing us to serve to you and helping us to keep this environment a safe place, family not going to take up too much time.
00:07:47:06 – 00:08:15:11
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Today we have round two of last week. Two of our presenters coming to you this morning are two more students in the ministry class, and they’ve worked extremely hard in preparing what they’re going to present to us. Our first brother is a very, very humble man. As we all know, and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan told us that a proud man and a proud woman cannot hear the commands of God, the only hear that which feeds the sick mentality that has produced their false pride.
00:08:15:11 – 00:08:36:18
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Is that right? He said that when the human being begins to think they are better than others because of their color, or because of their privilege, or because of their birth, or because of their money or because of their education, he said. Or because some unique characteristic that they that did not give themselves then you have the making of a devil.
00:08:36:20 – 00:08:51:05
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
But this brother always strives to represent the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to the best of his abilities. And he always, at some point of his talk, dropped something on you that makes the audience gasp and think, well, where.
00:08:51:05 – 00:08:52:16
Speaker 1
Do you get that from?
00:08:52:18 – 00:09:09:08
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
And it makes him study even more so. Without further ado, family, please help me to receive our brother, a student in the Ministry class. Brother Zebulun x. Assalamualaikum.
00:09:09:24 – 00:09:17:19
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Let’s keep that round of applause going for brother. I mean student in the ministry.
00:09:17:21 – 00:09:42:24
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
And the Most Holy name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful. I bear witness that there is but one God whose proper name is Allah. We thank him for coming. And a person of master for Muhammad. And raising from among us the Most honorable Elijah Muhammad, and making him our messenger Messiah. Today. And even more as we study, we thank him for his many, many blessings.
00:09:42:24 – 00:10:06:25
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
And the messenger, who was a humble man and submitted to God when he came. And from that submission, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is literally the Christ that we were looking for in Scripture yesterday. I also like to thank Almighty God, Allah for those two raising up from among us the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, most of our Redeemer today and this generation and mine.
00:10:06:27 – 00:10:26:18
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
So it’s in their names that I’d like to greet you once again in the Nation of Islam, greeting words of Paradise and peace. Assalamualaikum. Family. How’s everybody doing this morning? Oh, praise. Praises due to Allah in the Nation of Islam. One thing that I was taught when I was here is to be very, very cognizant of the time.
00:10:26:21 – 00:10:59:04
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
I also like to thank our student Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad, for allowing me to come before you and serve in this capacity. It is a mighty blessing and a mighty honor, and we never take it lightly. We also like to thank everybody who came out, and we thank you to continue, and we implore you to continue to come out so that you can do just what we’re doing and strengthen our faith, strengthen our spirit, and continue to stay in the class that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has us in.
00:10:59:07 – 00:11:32:11
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
I like to point to this book, Self-improvement the Basis for Community Development, the study guides that we are given by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Man of you. When you read over it, I, brother mean was talking about humility. It humbles you because right when you think you might know something, the study guides remind us that we don’t really know too much is something that proves who the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is, because the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is a tried stone.
00:11:32:14 – 00:11:52:25
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Like the Bible says. He’s a stone that’s been tried, and he’s a stone that has succeeded. The trial. And that’s the type of man that we have in our midst. So the Bible also talks about a, rejected stone, a stone that the builders rejected. But I’m here to tell you, and we are here to tell you that we are raised from the stone.
00:11:53:02 – 00:12:30:03
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
That’s that that has already proven himself. These study guides are life giving. And when you slow down, because that’s what we always implore you to do. Don’t read so quickly, but slow down so that you can extract the salvation and transformation that are in these study guides. All praises due to Allah, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan proves who he is because he does what a lot himself would do, and that is take that your attention off of your brother and offer your sister, and make you pay attention to that person in a mirror, because that’s what self-improvement is.
00:12:30:06 – 00:12:53:18
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
All praise is due to Allah. So we want to go ahead and get started. Man, I’m feeling good this morning. All praises due to Allah. I want to read some words from our Savior. The name of this talk today is a. This is a small bearing, a witness of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, as taught by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:12:53:18 – 00:13:24:28
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
I didn’t feel like it was anything better to speak about than what was already established in tried right? So the Minister has here, Oh, I would be remiss to not share with you this final call newspaper. The final call newspaper is a guide, and the final call newspaper will keep you abreast on what’s going on with the news that we need to know about.
00:13:25:01 – 00:13:57:13
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
The minister talks about in the latest final call, the divine destruction of America. Can she averted well, a lot. God, with the way you looking at this here storms floods in judgment. No, she cannot have verdict because the judgment has already begun. Right. So it says, as America is a great superpower militarily, economically, geographically, but morally and spiritually, America is degenerating, right?
00:13:57:16 – 00:14:55:26
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Get my eyes going. Okay. To be a superpower, militant, militantly and not morally, to have knowledge without character is to be a devil in human form. Yes. To graduate with a degree in a certain discipline, but without moral character is the limit, is to limit the use of your knowledge to vain and selfish ends, manipulating the wickedness of those less fortunate, then to become an enemy of God and an enemy of the purpose of God for creating the human being, a person who is brilliant and immoral is an enemy of the aim and purpose of God in making us in his image and in his likeness.
00:14:55:29 – 00:15:26:07
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Nothing God created is mediocre, mediocre. I have never seen a mediocre flea, a mediocre be a mediocre star or mediocre mountain. If you look at his creation, all of it is excellent and worthy of praise. All of creation glorifies the creator, but nothing in creation is called the glory of God except the human being. Not a not a glory.
00:15:26:09 – 00:15:49:13
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
But use the definite article the glory right, meaning nothing in creation is greater in potential to manifest God than the human being. How then, can a human being, the glory of God in the universe? In a universe where there is no mediocrity except mediocrity as the standard.
00:15:49:15 – 00:15:50:22
Speaker 1
Hmhm.
00:15:50:24 – 00:16:26:11
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
I want to keep on going. How can you accept that of yourself when your creator is an excellent creator and he created you? Excellent lead? Excellence is demanded of you and you must demand excellence of yourselves. If the school does not demand excellence of you, we need to retool and reshape the school. I tell the factual. I tell the faculty of the University of Islam, any student that you that you feel is demonstrative of your faith.
00:16:26:15 – 00:16:31:10
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Failure to teach for.
00:16:31:12 – 00:16:56:07
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that every mind is like a lock. This is my favorite part. It’s all good. Knowledge is the key. Listen to that. And as every lock has a different key, only the master key can work in every lock. Now, you know we not talking about keys and locks. We’re talking about salvation. We’re talking about salvation.
00:16:56:09 – 00:17:17:18
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
transformation. And we’re talking about a savior to a dead race of people, not an misinformed, group of people, not in even an ignorant group of people that the Islamic world would call, people who would suffer from Joshua live. But we are far beyond ignorance, a dead people that requires God himself to raise us back up.
00:17:18:11 – 00:17:35:01
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Now, that’s the type of key that we need to be able to raise us and lift us, not just something that can give us a little more knowledge than what we have, but to come and give us a knowledge of himself, God, a knowledge of ourselves and a knowledge of our enemies so that we can guard ourselves from the wicked forces.
00:17:35:03 – 00:18:01:12
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
That’s that’s that’s laid out in front of us right? If you are a teacher and your key is not working, don’t condemn the lock. Check your key. The minister says, some teachers say I have and you have to get it. I have and you have to get it. You should say I have it to give and I must prepare you to receive.
00:18:01:15 – 00:18:22:26
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
All praise is due to Allah. That’s the house of this beautiful mass right here. Mosque number 12. Everybody is sharing. And that’s why I started off and is a sincere thanks, because I’m constantly learning to minister continues, as you know, I have a little bit more here in this world. The attitude of those in knowledge is not the proper attitude.
00:18:22:28 – 00:18:56:24
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
The attitude of the knowing ones is arrogance, not humility. Wanting to be better than wanting to be better and thinking that they are not wanting to serve, but to be serve right. It says the counselor gave me a cup today, and on that cup was the motto of this school and it should be for every school. The minister says the Cup said enter to learn, depart to serve.
00:18:56:26 – 00:19:27:06
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
That’s beautiful. I’m gonna say that again. Enter to learn and depart to serve. That’s the mindset of a real believer. That’s the mindset of a real man of God, a woman of God that you don’t want to hold. The Bible says, I believe in Exodus or not. Exodus and Ezekiel, chapter 34, that, oh no, no, no, I got this.
00:19:27:08 – 00:19:27:21
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Praise be
00:19:27:21 – 00:19:56:10
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
to. But it says, woe to the shepherds that feed themselves and not the flock. Should not the shepherd feed the flock? So God Himself is recognizing that the shepherds were not feeding the flock. They were feeding themselves. Why would the shepherd do that? So he can do just what the Minister is warning us to not do, to make ourselves look more than the people that we’re serving.
00:19:56:13 – 00:20:23:13
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
To say to those people that I know and you don’t know, when the Minister clearly here just said that we should have the attitude to say, I know, so I must prepare you to know that’s the right attitude. It’s the right mindset. So. The minister continues wanting to be better and thinking that you are not wanting to serve, but to be served.
00:20:23:16 – 00:20:46:26
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
It’s you know, the counselor gave me a cup today, he says, and on that cup, it was the motto of this school. When the school was entered to learn the part to save David, the psalmist said, ye are all God’s children of the Most High God. Let us stay right here for a minute. Yeah. All God’s. Who is he?
00:20:46:28 – 00:21:11:26
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
He is you. He is us. But you do not have the attitude of a master. Therefore, you approach things in the wrong frame of mind. When you approach your subject matter as though you are unable, you are unable to master it. It becomes difficult for you. But when you have the attitude of a master, you develop your potential for mastery.
00:21:11:29 – 00:21:38:00
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
You as a black student have never been taught that you are a God and a potential master. Nobody teaches you that all praise is due to a line man, oh man, that is lessons and gifts and gems from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan doing with great leaders do not recognize the power of just themselves, but the power this lot in each and every one of us.
00:21:38:03 – 00:21:50:11
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
And it is up to us to not only find out where that God is in us, but once we find it, we have to share it. We should not be found feeding ourselves and not the flock.
00:21:50:13 – 00:21:52:03
Speaker 4
All right family.
00:21:52:06 – 00:22:13:02
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Praise be to Allah. So we going to get right on track? Because one thing I learned in a church is to have faith in Almighty God. Because if I think that all I have is the eyes that’s looking at me and not the eyes of Almighty God looking at me too, then something’s wrong with me and I don’t even need to be before you share in anything.
00:22:13:04 – 00:22:28:29
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
So I give all praise to Allah because I know he’s right here with me, and I thank him for raising up this Savior who taught me how to know that praise be to Allah. So.
00:22:29:01 – 00:23:19:17
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
The life giving teachings of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, right? I want to start off with exactly what happened to us, the black man and woman in America. We were giving a gift that continues to give. God came to us, as predicted in Scripture, in the person of Master Fard Muhammad. Like Brother Amine was alluding to a man who we did not recognize, a man who came without observation, a man who didn’t want to be seen because he, like a cat burglar, had something value that he was looking for, and that was the dead people to dry bones in this valley, right.
00:23:19:19 – 00:23:45:02
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Dry bones in the Delaware Valley, dry bones in America. Right before America would fall. He had to get somebody out of America. So when he taught the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad what he taught him how to resurrect the dead, and he actually put his spirit in the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and then told the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, you don’t need me anymore.
00:23:45:05 – 00:24:11:00
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, being a humble Christ figure that he is. And was he he said, yes, I do need you. But we speak to the end when the honorable, the Most honorable Elijah Muhammad was looking at his Savior, walk away right before he left the Savior master fight, Muhammad put in his hand a Bible, Scripture, Psalms 23 and I want to read it verse one through six.
00:24:11:00 – 00:24:40:00
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Look at what it says here. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my faith, or he restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
00:24:40:02 – 00:25:07:06
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointed mine head or my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Man, all praise is due to Allah.
00:25:07:09 – 00:25:27:21
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
My question is, did Master Prophet Muhammad keep his promise? Emphatically yes. Because if we are humble enough to receive the gift that was given to us by Almighty God, Allah, your head will literally be overflowing with oil and man. It will be hard for you to stick to one thing because it’s so much that God has given you.
00:25:27:27 – 00:26:00:07
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
We would go to the deep depth of all that we were taught, and that’s a blessing in itself. But what type of person, right? What kind of person would that kind of teaching produce? We’re taught in a nation of Islam, not just believers in the Bible, believers in the Holy Quran. We’re taught that we would become the very fruit that this Bible tells you would take over the world and have this kingdom.
00:26:00:10 – 00:26:23:13
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
In the Bible. Before I go to go, Matthew 21 verse 43, I want to look at it carefully, and I don’t want to add or take anything from it. Right. Matthew 21, verse 43 says.
00:26:23:15 – 00:26:28:28
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
I’m.
00:26:29:00 – 00:27:06:26
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Okay. Therefore. Right. Let’s start at 42. Jesus saith unto them, did he never read in Scripture the stone which the builders rejected? The same is become the head of the corner. This is the Lord’s doings, and it is marvelous in our sight. That was always one of my favorite scriptures. You hear me saying that a lot. Verse 43 therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, right and given to a nation.
00:27:06:26 – 00:27:32:01
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Look at the words, bringing forth the fruits thereof. Lord have mercy. What do we call the Nation of Islam? Yes, that’s a universal title, right? Not putting shade on anyone. But that’s not just saying that you have the life of the prophet. That’s just not saying a Sunni or that’s not just saying that you’re baptized in the word, but that’s talking about a nation of people who met with God.
00:27:32:03 – 00:28:01:08
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
All praise is due to Allah, so it would produce fruit. Is that right? It would produce the meat. We know no nation can rise any higher than this woman. But it would produce because we’re taught that way. There is no decent women. There is no decent men. Right? And where there’s no decent men, there’s no decent women. We come together.
00:28:01:08 – 00:28:06:02
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
We are partners. It ain’t one over the other like that.
00:28:06:05 – 00:28:30:27
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
But what is a fruit from the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad? A fruit is the best. He’s constantly training and conditioning and conditioning himself to meet and overcome all obstacles in his path. His sole purpose is to deliver the 17 or more million dead to the Lamb of God, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, through the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:28:30:29 – 00:29:01:03
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
To do this, we are compelled to be obedient, militant, humble, tolerant, courteous, honest, and dependable. See? So we do more than just do a lot of yapping. We actually recognize that when you call a person a god, you’re saying that that person has force and power. That person cannot exercise force and power if he’s not obedient to Allah, that person cannot exercise force and power.
00:29:01:09 – 00:29:27:21
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
If he’s not militant, humble, tolerant, and you have to be tolerant. When we go through the streets to get to our people, say so. It says a fruit is obedient to the laws of Islam and those in authority. His conduct is militant. He is humble and submissive. He is tolerant and understanding. He is courteous and respectful. He is honest in thoughts, deed and actions.
00:29:27:23 – 00:29:52:09
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
He is alert and dependable man. So family, that is a God. Would you bear witness to that? And when we have these study guides in front of us, that’s the class and that’s what we’re being taught. So when we graduate and when we get our diploma in this class, we can be what we say that we are. And it’s not just words or catchphrase, but you’ll be able to see it without us even having to say it.
00:29:52:12 – 00:30:14:12
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
We will live it and show it. All right. So, family, I’m gonna go ahead and be obedient to instructions at this time. I want to bring back to this rostrum our student and a ministry student minister, student in the ministry. I mean, Muhammad, thank you for listening. May Allah bless you. That’s on me.
00:30:14:14 – 00:30:37:01
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Let’s give Brother Zebulon another round of applause. All praise is due to Allah. I hope we are enjoying our time today. As we say earlier, we at round two now. Today. Right. So our next brother that’s coming up is a brother who really just has a heart of gold. We all know him and he’s always assisting and helping when needed.
00:30:37:04 – 00:31:00:26
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
And many of the brothers that have just came in the master also were assisted by him in our orientation class. So he holds a very special place in our hearts. So without further ado, family, please help me to receive to the rostrum another student in the ministry class, Brother David Hassan. Assalamualaikum.
00:31:00:28 – 00:31:11:27
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
So. Let’s give brother Zebulun and brother. I mean a round of applause. Us at length. Thank you. So thank you, sir.
00:31:11:27 – 00:31:18:10
Speaker 4
Thank you sir. So.
00:31:18:12 – 00:31:22:26
Speaker 4
You always got to be ready, is that right? Yes, sir. Praise be to him.
00:31:22:29 – 00:31:54:06
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Most Merciful. For I bear witness that regardless the land label, the language that there is but one God. We believe in all the prophets of God, from Abraham to Noah to Moses and Jesus and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all. And regardless to the name that we call our religion, we in the Nation of Islam bear witness that there is only one God.
00:31:54:11 – 00:32:28:28
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
That’s right, and that is proper name is a law which covers all the names of God. We are thankful to Allah for his coming to us in the person of Master Fard Muhammad. We know him as the Great Mahdi, right? We thank him for raising among us from among us the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, his messenger Messiah. And we are further grateful for the Divine Reminder, the Divine Comforter and the Divine Messiah and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:32:29:00 – 00:32:54:04
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
All praises due to a light as in the name of these three great ones, that I greet you all in a greeting. Words of peace. Salaam alaikum. All praises. Due to all, I give yourself a round of applause for being here this morning. All praises due to Allah. thank you all for your time today. As they say, behold, how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.
00:32:54:07 – 00:33:23:21
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
We’re striving. Is that right? Yes, sir. Unity is a big word, and it has a lot of responsibility. It. That’s a power that we often forget. Brotherhood and sisterhood is a power that the world needs today. Is that right? I thank God this morning for another opportunity to make, to help, to make our community a safer and a decent place to live.
00:33:23:27 – 00:33:45:22
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Yes, all praises due to Allah and we never take for granted what it takes for you to make it to those seats each and every week. All praises due to Allah, the rain and the weather didn’t discourage you, is that right? Praise be to a lot. I like to mention also that my beautiful wife is here today. Oh praise be to Allah.
00:33:45:25 – 00:34:09:10
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Yes, brothers and sister, I’m so happy to see her. Let us all continue to strive to, reach and meet our goals. I want to also say that the wild out yesterday in Coatesville and, with student Minister Lao Muhammad, working hard to propagate the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan. And we had a great time in the field, but we also had a great time working with some of our meetings.
00:34:09:11 – 00:34:30:26
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
We appreciate the work, we appreciate the sacrifice. And I just want to say, I think a lot for this brotherhood and sisterhood today, because we are in this work together. Is that right? That’s right. We couldn’t do this work without one another. Is that right? We can’t do this work without a law. God who appeared in the person of Master Ford Muhammad and the training that we received in the Nation of Islam.
00:34:30:28 – 00:34:51:28
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
It’s all praise to do to Allah forever. I want to thank student Regional Minister Radi Muhammad for the opportunity for us to help in various ways around the mosque. And just to say a few words today. I’m not necessarily the main speaker today, so I won’t be long and I won’t hold you. But I was asked to attempt to speak about what the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said.
00:34:52:01 – 00:35:26:18
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Islam comes when all else faiths. All right. So there was a once a story, right, about a man, and he asked God for strength. And God gave him adversity. And then he asked God for wisdom, and God gave him problems. Then he asked God for happiness. And God had to remind him, I gave you breath. I gave you life.
00:35:26:20 – 00:36:01:12
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
All you need to do is go home and appreciate what you already have for right, and then you’ll find the happiness that you seek. Oh, praise is due to a law. We’ll come back to that. So. Without breath, without life, everything else that we chase on a day to day basis is basically lost. Is that right? The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches us to pray and to keep pulling on our faith, even when everything else fails.
00:36:01:15 – 00:36:22:05
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
As the Bible says, ask and we shall receive. Is that right? And I want to qualify what I’m doing so we understand the direction. A lot is failing in America today. Is that right? So I’m not going to burden your minds with the failure, because if you read in the newspapers, if you’re watching the news, you all know, right?
00:36:22:12 – 00:36:43:02
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
There’s some dark days ahead. Is that correct? But Islam comes when all else fails. Let’s talk about Islam, right? Is that right? You can keep focusing on the problem, but when you give power to the problem, you lose the ability to find a solution to the problem or praises due to a lot.
00:36:43:04 – 00:37:06:26
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Because God is good. Somebody say it with me all the time. Is that right? Praise be to Allah. So we say he doesn’t always come when we call, but he’s always what? On time you. He doesn’t even always appear to us the way that we expect him to appear. We don’t deserve sometimes what he gives to us, and that’s grace.
00:37:06:27 – 00:37:40:12
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Is that right? Am I talking to somebody this morning? But he is with us. And our teacher, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, teaches us whether we are weak or whether we are strong, whether we are going through tragedy or going through triumph. God is always present, but he wants us to know him. In reality, we thank the Lord God for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for bringing these teachings back to the forefront of our minds.
00:37:40:15 – 00:38:05:07
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
We thank the Lord, the Supreme Being, for that supreme example, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. We are working against the tide tirelessly to raise our people, to help change the condition in which we live, without blaming other people for our problems. So we don’t want to lose time just focusing on the problems, Minister Farrakhan?
00:38:05:10 – 00:38:38:12
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
And on that, Executive Council, they telling us to focus on your faith? America is falling today. Is that right? There’s an election coming up in less than three months. The right wing blames the left wing, and the left wing blames the right wing. But it’s two wings on the same bird with no solution. But all praises due to a love.
00:38:38:15 – 00:39:15:16
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, we go back to this book. Good. The message to the black Man in America. Just on page 240, he says, will civil rights solve the so-called Negroes problem? By no means will it or anything else except Allah solve our problem. Islam comes when all else fails. But he also says at the end of that chapter that more than civil rights, we need human rights.
00:39:15:18 – 00:39:25:14
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
That not just civil rights. And we see with some of the events going on overseas with this war, the world is rising up today. Is that right for human.
00:39:25:14 – 00:39:26:12
Speaker 4
Rights.
00:39:26:14 – 00:39:57:18
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
The most? And Elijah Muhammad, Minister Farrakhan and our divine Muslim program. So we want freedom, justice and equality. Is that right? We live under political inequality, social inequality, educational inequality, medical inequality, judicial inequality, ities, and of course, economic inequality. Is that right here, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that politics alone will not solve our problems. Not that there’s no value in politics, but that’s not going to solve the problem.
00:39:57:21 – 00:40:29:07
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Right? Why? Because we can’t blame other people and claim we have the true solution. God wants responsibility. God wants resolution. God wants redemption. God wants for the lack of a better term resurrection. So the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan says, be patient, but we must learn to depend on God and learn to depend on one another is said the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:40:29:10 – 00:40:43:19
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
leader, teacher and guide gave us a revelatory course Self-improvement, the basis for Community development. The solutions that we need are wrapped up in these teachings.
00:40:43:22 – 00:40:43:29
Speaker 4
Yes.
00:40:44:05 – 00:40:48:14
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
All right. Praise be to love.
00:40:48:16 – 00:41:18:01
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Brother Jabril, thank you. Sir. Look what it says in the Holy Qur’an. Surely by the time man is in laws, accept those who believe and do what good, and exhort one another to truth, and exhort one another to patience. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan exhorts us to look forward. To look forward to the hereafter, he said. Keep a positive outlook.
00:41:18:03 – 00:41:44:08
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Keep a positive outlook even when everything around you is not positive. Is that right? And he said, you have the power to turn your negative into a positive. Minister Farrakhan says, here’s what you must do to be successful in a time like this. Follow the verses you have studied from the book that has no doubt in it. You believe in the unseen.
00:41:44:10 – 00:42:10:14
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Keep up press. Spend out of what a law God has blessed you with in the way of charity. We’re talking about Islam. Is that right? Believe in the previous in the present revelations and be sure. Be sure of the he left. Do these things he said, and you will be of the successful. Islam comes when all else fails.
00:42:10:21 – 00:42:31:14
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Y’all. All right, all right. Praise be to Allah. So when we see God move on, our day to day life will turn less to dope, alcohol and gambling, gossip and all the other destructive means and methods that we get through today. Is that right? Let’s keep it real. This is the kind of world that we live in. But Islam means peace.
00:42:31:16 – 00:43:00:29
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
It means submission of our will to do the will of who God. But that implies work, not just work for the enemy, right? No work for yourself. Work on yourself, for your people. All praise is due to a lot. Islam comes when all else fails. You do. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said Islam it could be described. The one word would be righteousness.
00:43:01:01 – 00:43:25:06
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Islam is the nature of the original man. In the original woman, it’s the nature of humanity to be in peace, in obedience to God, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, but there are people who rule over the original people and have rule for 6000 years who are not connected to the original creation. So how could they teach us who we are?
00:43:25:08 – 00:43:50:19
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
he also says in the Holy Quran, let’s say he Allah is one, say he Allah. Who is he? Good God, is that right? We are in agreement, right? So he has a will and we have a wills that right? So when we submit our will to do his will, we are doing the action, performing the duty of a muslim.
00:43:50:19 – 00:44:15:18
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Is that right? Regardless if you call yourself a Christian or he doesn’t matter. Muslim is more than a religion. It’s a term that describes your nature and your word. So the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan says regard is the label of language and religion except your own and be yourself. This is what we must do today. When all else is said, praise be to Allah.
00:44:15:20 – 00:44:42:28
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
When we submit to God, our hands become God’s hands. Is that right? Our feet become God’s feet. our mind and our thoughts belong to God, is that right? But our work, our work become God’s mission. And the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan said his mission is to give life to our people. Is that right? All praise is due to Allah.
00:44:43:00 – 00:45:10:19
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Islam is Allah’s way. And I think I heard, brother me say we’re striving for perfection. Is that right? Doesn’t mean that we are perfect, but we’re striving for perfection. Is that right? But we have. Though we’re not perfect, we are perfect excuse. We have a perfect teacher. We have a perfect teaching. And there’s a process set up, by God from creation that’s evolving us toward perfection.
00:45:10:21 – 00:45:38:01
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
When you go to the book of Second Corinthians 12 chapter brothers, every line, it said God’s grace, not his wrath, but his grace is sufficient, for his power is made perfect in weakness. So don’t think that you don’t have enough to get started. You have the breath of life or praise through to Allah, along the beneficent. I love the Most Merciful.
00:45:38:04 – 00:46:05:00
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Allah is for up bill. Allah means he is Lord, nervous and sustainer of everything and everyone. He creates stage at the stage until it reaches its eventual perfection. I might not be perfect, but man, Allah had a purpose in creating man. Is that right? So I can do my part in a little bit of time that I have in this life.
00:46:05:00 – 00:46:16:14
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Is that right? Put a brick on the building in the foundation that God laid for us. Could this be why Jesus called God Father? Three because he’s.
00:46:16:14 – 00:46:18:24
Speaker 4
Furthering his creation.
00:46:18:26 – 00:46:58:03
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Could this be why the Christians say that God is love? Should we not banging on our Christian family? We love our Christian family, is that right? All praise is due to a love, but we understand that we have to live this to the degree where we can come together and produce something for our people, stage by stage. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that Jesus realized that he was 2000 years too soon before the end of the present world, so he gave his life that he would have, that we would have a picture and an example of the man that would come in the last days, the man who would guide us into all truths.
00:46:58:05 – 00:47:23:25
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Didn’t Jesus say it was expedient that he go away? For if I go not away, the comforter will not come unto you with that comforter. That man is the Most honorable. Elijah Muhammad and his national representative, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And if we understand it, he’s the Messiah who here we black people in America were found by God in bad shape.
00:47:23:28 – 00:47:56:25
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Yes, sir. We’ve been in America for 469 years in a strange land afflicted. But Islam comes when all else faith, say in the book of Genesis 15th chapter, it talks about Abraham. See him right? And it says that after 400 years in a strange land, Abraham’s seed would be in bondage to people who would afflicted, and God would come to end their affliction and bring them out with great substance.
00:47:56:25 – 00:48:21:00
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
And they would go home to the land of their fathers in peace. But he would judge the nation which made them slaves. Is that right? This is going on right now. Also notable that the. In 1555, when we came to America, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan came to meet the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the 400th year of our sojourn in North America.
00:48:21:07 – 00:48:49:17
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Islam comes when all else famous but God is working through a human being. Y’all all right? Yes, sir. But if this is the time written up in the scriptures, and it is, how would God alert us? What would be his calling card? That it’s time that he’s present? The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan reminds us of a song we used to sing in the church.
00:48:49:20 – 00:49:29:12
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
It’s called Steal Away. yes. the trumpet sounds and my soul. I ain’t got long to stay here. Stay with one. That plantation 469 years in America. Or praises due to Allah. My God, my God, he calls me by what, son? Steal away. Well, he said God calls by the thunder. Doesn’t the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan exhort us to watch the weather?
00:49:29:15 – 00:49:50:12
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Is that right? Again, I could just list off everything that’s happening, but open our eyes today and just start paying attention. You can see for yourself your spirit. I tell you, something’s off today. Your spirit will tell you it’s time. I don’t know exactly what’s happening, but I gotta find me a voice. I gotta find me some direction.
00:49:50:15 – 00:50:26:06
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
You gotta find a man that knows the time. And the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad says the Son of Man makes rain, hail, snow and earthquakes. Is that right? Pestilence and famine. Look around. But all of this, would be happening at the time. At the end of the 400 years of that prophecy and a strange land, all of the problems that we’re going through, all the pain that you’ve been enduring in the struggle, all the lightning and the thunder and the storms in your life are really just a sign that it’s time.
00:50:26:06 – 00:50:27:24
Speaker 4
To change.
00:50:27:27 – 00:50:55:01
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
You. That’s the part statements. But mom always talks about. Everybody says they want change, but very few people actually want to change. Is that right? You don’t have to read every headline to know that evil is spreading far and wide. We need faith to see how God is actually working in the darkness amidst the people. But when we read this final call newspaper week after week, this is not just a muslim newspaper,
00:50:55:03 – 00:51:29:05
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
It is a newspaper put out, but it’s a newspaper put out by people who love you, who just happen to be Muslims. Oh, praise. Due to a love this is for all people, regardless to creed, class of color. This message is for humanity. You’re not just reading about current events, but you’re seeing them from a much higher perspective, from a bird’s eye view from the lens of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Jesus said 2000 years ago that all these things, they must happen.
00:51:29:07 – 00:51:57:00
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan says, Sometimes God, who is the best known, will allow negative events to happen so that a greater good can occur as a good day. This is why we must be patient today for the greater good. Islam comes when all else fails, but in failure man is fretful and failure. He blames circumstances and he blames other people.
00:51:57:00 – 00:52:27:22
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Don’t we see this today? So rather than falling victim to disappointment in man, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in his guidance, says that we should seek refuge in the Lord of men, the God of men and the King of men. Go past the rulers, go past the hills. He said, I seek refuge in the Lord of men. The word Lord, or in Arabic means nurturer or nourishing.
00:52:27:25 – 00:52:49:05
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
In our growth and development, we grow. We outgrow the need to seek nurturing from our mothers. Then we look at the King of men. If we take the king of men to mean the political leaders that govern the political life of the individual or the nation, we grow to look at our leaders and to seek refuge in them from those things.
00:52:49:05 – 00:53:16:10
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
In a society that will affect, growth and development. That’s natural. But we have to look past our problems today. We have to stop complaining today. We can’t. We got to even look past voting today because we’re voting for people who are actually creating the problems. Right? And then we look to them for the solution. Why don’t we start building for our in Islam comes when all else fails.
00:53:16:16 – 00:53:41:16
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
All praise is due to Allah. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, Islam is the natural religion of the black nation. It is the nation in which we are made. We are called Islam. To return to Islam. Pardon me and these words from the Holy Quran set your face up right for religion in the right state. The nation made by Allah in which he has made men.
00:53:41:16 – 00:54:03:05
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
There is no altering of the law’s creation. That is the right religion. But people, most people do not know. He continues. Here Islam claims to be a perfect religion and its author is the perfect one. What can be imperfect about Islam when it means entire submission to the will of God? What can be wrong or imperfect about this religion?
00:54:03:05 – 00:54:26:26
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Islam, which was the religion of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets of God. Am I going fast? I’m just trying to make my time. I apologize for Born to Muhammad, the last of the process. Islam proves that its author is God in as much as a law. God is on the side of every true Muslim. Wrapping up.
00:54:26:28 – 00:54:54:11
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
So in closing, like that man we started off talking about, you know, the man. Ask God for help and he gave him a problem. And we ask God for change. We ask God for relief. We ask God for resolution. But the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, God is not just a, just a judge or a king. He is the master of the day of recruitment or judgment.
00:54:54:13 – 00:55:15:13
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
And then the Holy Koran says the law of change is not the condition of a people until they change first, their own condition. In these study guides, particularly the ones we’ve been on for the last few months, building the world, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said a law God is introducing the formula for the proper relationship between himself and the believer.
00:55:15:16 – 00:55:43:15
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
This formula was developed exclusively by him. If we do not follow instructions and mix it correctly, we fail. Now. When we looked at the true meaning of the word successful and learned that it is not measured by material things in the eyes of the Lord God, we are not successful unless we have mastered the forces that keep us from him.
00:55:43:18 – 00:56:10:07
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Minister Farrakhan is teaching us that between the material world and the spiritual world, there is a struggle for balance. Yet he tells us that we must desire more from ourselves and for ourselves. And that’s something. I mean, some people say money, the root of all evil, is more the person that has the money. Is that right? If you let it master you.
00:56:10:09 – 00:56:36:27
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Yet he tells us that we must desire more for ourselves and from ourselves. If we really want to be free and vision something that we want. He said. Everything valuable has a difficulty factor attached to it. So aim bigger is what do you need? How much does it cost? How long would it take to get it? What kind of help will you need to make it happen?
00:56:37:00 – 00:57:03:16
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Anticipate problems, anticipate failures, setbacks. But make a plan and go to work. But always remember that God’s plan is greater than our plan. Is that right? Leave room for adjustment. Pray to God. Prayer is an affirmation of desire. He said, pray to the King of men. Do you believe that he wants you to have it? Of course he does, the minister said.
00:57:03:18 – 00:57:04:25
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
But do you believe.
00:57:04:25 – 00:57:05:04
Speaker 4
He’s.
00:57:05:04 – 00:57:06:08
Student In The Ministry Zebulan X
Actually with.
00:57:06:08 – 00:57:19:15
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
You? Then when you finally obtain what you desire, rejoice, but give all praise to the God that you called him, and all praise is due to Allah. That is success.
00:57:19:18 – 00:57:53:04
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
And think about how achieving this goal. Here’s the point. Think about how achieving this goal, this success, will increase your confidence and your ability to solve your own problems. Separation and independence God wants us to trust in him for all that we need. Yes, he promises money, good homes, luxury. But that’s not it. Yes, we want schools, banks, businesses, factories, hospitals.
00:57:53:06 – 00:58:14:24
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Don’t worship that. The Bible says over and over again, when I raise you from your grave, when I awaken you to your life and direct you to your duties and your responsibilities, know that I, the Lord and God. That’s what Master Muhammad and the most honorable Muhammad did when they came to us. Our prayers say he wants us to believe in him.
00:58:14:25 – 00:58:48:22
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Is that right? And trust in him? Is that right for all that we need? But if we don’t want anything, we won’t have confidence to go get the things that we really need. We ask him to bless us and make us successful. But it’s not the money. It’s the result of believing and doing good, doing for ourselves. And this as the world falls, as the world fails, Islam would increase, charity would increase, prayer and fasting would increase.
00:58:48:25 – 00:59:16:25
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
When we say yes sir, when we follow the principles of faith and action set forth in the Holy Quran. Mr. Minister speaking, we therefore extract what the universe holds for us. It cannot and will not hold back on you. If you do these things, it is created to release its treasures to you. So when all else fails and please remember God, remember God and keep the faith.
00:59:16:27 – 00:59:33:20
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
He has shown us his power and proven the efficacy of his wisdom to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. thank you for your time this morning, and I hope we just got it warm for our next presenter. I thank you as I greet you in peace as Salam Malik.
00:59:33:20 – 00:59:43:23
Unknown
I’m pleased to allow.
00:59:43:26 – 01:00:06:15
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Well, let’s give Brother David another round of applause. Islam comes after all else fails. Praise be to Allah. One thing Brother David said. He said that we must learn to depend on God. When we look around at everything that Brother David discussed and everything that we can see for ourselves, we see that there’s really nothing else to depend on.
01:00:06:15 – 01:00:34:10
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Is that right? The Holy Qur’an says that surely man is an inordinate because he thinks himself to be self-sufficient, right? But ultimately, Allah is the guarantor of security. Is that right? And he it is. The straight is the means of subsistence for whom he pleases. Is that right? Praise be to Elijah. Something for us to think about. But family, as we move forward, the next present that we have, we see him every week and we know that he always has something powerful.
01:00:34:12 – 01:00:51:01
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Every sentence is something that we must stick to and study when we get home. So without further ado, please help me bring to this rostrum our Delaware Valley student Regional Minister, Brother Rodney Muhammad. Assalamualaikum.
01:00:51:03 – 01:01:17:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Hey. Salaam alaikum. Come on, let’s give all the presenters a big round of applause. All praises due to Allah. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, the one God to whom praises to the Lord of the worlds. We thank Allah, who is the revealer of all truth and the sender of all prophets of whom we make no distinction.
01:01:17:21 – 01:01:56:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We thank him for all of his prophets, from Abraham to Muhammad. That being we, we are grateful to Allah and thankful for Moses and the Torah. And we are thankful for Jesus and the gospel. And we are thankful for Muhammad and the revelation of the Koran. And as students of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is life giving message. We are most thankful to allow for his own intervention in our affairs and the divine person of Master Father Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever.
01:01:56:24 – 01:02:41:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We simply cannot thank him enough for finding a servant that was worthy that he could leave with us. And the man that he left with us, he had grown that man up into himself. the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad had to have extreme patience as he said, it took him 40 years just to understand his own mission. And many times when we don’t understand something, we fail to continue to wrestle with it.
01:02:41:23 – 01:02:56:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We just walk away from it. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was faithful, and now he is an exalted servant.
01:02:56:17 – 01:03:48:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He was humble enough to know that he needed help, a special kind of help. And so in 1954, he prayed for that help, and that help came to him in that 23rd year when he prayed six months after that, which you see in the Koran at the 23rd sura, I believe the 50th verse, which would come to 23.5, that he would call for a servant and one would be born, that would be a sign, to the nations.
01:03:48:16 – 01:04:22:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, by Saviors Day of 1955, Allah answered his prayer and his servant walked in. And as I said last week, he usually sets the first timers down front. But they placed this one in the balcony so that he would be able to look up at him as he was delivering his Saviors Day message and and so the assignment was clear and is being carried out.
01:04:22:25 – 01:04:35:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so we thank him for his student, servant and apostle, our leader, teacher and guide, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Praise be to Allah.
01:04:35:21 – 01:04:41:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Once he got his assignment.
01:04:41:04 – 01:05:13:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Where the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, brother, don’t you pay attention to how I’m saying what I’m saying? You just pay attention to what I’m saying, and then you take what I’m saying and put it in the fine language that you know, and from that time on, this world has not been able to close the mouth of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
01:05:13:03 – 01:05:51:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he has preached this truth up till now, God has closed his mouth. And so even at the Janessa of his daughter in law. The wife of our Supreme Captain, he was full, but he was following instructions. And so he said nothing in the public.
01:05:51:20 – 01:06:09:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s a serious time for us. In the Scripture, they were leveling every kind of charge against Jesus. As Jesus.
01:06:09:11 – 01:06:10:21
Speaker 4
Was nearing.
01:06:10:24 – 01:06:57:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A dark hour and the people wondered, he talked so much. He spoke on so many things. He guided us, and he taught us in the great wisdom of God. He talked. But why isn’t he talking now that they’re attacking here? They found. And if you just review it, you’ll see that God closed his mouth because his heart and mind is made to talk, to defend us.
01:06:57:29 – 01:07:19:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, we’ve been defended. By our great defender, God. But if God makes a man to defend you and defend me and then closes his mouth, we could say we’re without defense.
01:07:19:15 – 01:07:55:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he closes the mouth of the defender because it’s time for the people who’ve been defended to open their mouth. Yeah, that’s that’s why he’s not talking to us. Because by now you ought to have something to say. So I’m thankful, you know, for those that stepped forward to warn, to discipline their life, to carry carrying a weighty word.
01:07:55:13 – 01:08:36:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In fact, it’s a lot of weight. people who want to carry the word can’t just read it like you read a newspaper article. You got kind of labor over it. I can’t tell you how many times you gotta go over it just to see how to say what you’re going over. And the minister did 353 broadcast for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a broadcast that went into 81 cities.
01:08:36:13 – 01:08:57:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it would take him a whole week just to prepare to say something for 30 minutes. Because the God who came. Before he started teaching us, he studied 42 years.
01:08:57:24 – 01:09:48:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You’d say, well, wow, would it take that long? Because he’s going to make sure that when you stand up with it, not one word of it will lend itself to the falsehood that he finds ourself under. So we’ve heard the Honorable Elijah Muhammad challenge that the ology or the theologians of this world, the scholars of this world, the governments of this world, if you can find one word, say that I say, see, that is fast, and I’ll give you $10,000 out of my brother’s vest pocket for every word that you can find.
01:09:48:17 – 01:10:24:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To this day. They found no word, right? That’s right. Why? Because the word of prophecy was labored over so that when it was presented, we was making sure they be no mistake. So the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan told us he was always very careful. When he would quote the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he would not be careless with that.
01:10:24:15 – 01:10:41:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the other was the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Careless with what he quoted of master. Five Muhammad. Wow.
01:10:41:09 – 01:11:06:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That way, no one could come back and charge them with misguiding them. Most people that charged them with inconsistency or not guiding them. Weren’t patient enough with themselves.
01:11:06:21 – 01:11:23:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So one top laborer told the minister, I’m only doing what you taught me. And the minister said, yeah, brother, and I’m still teaching. Yesterday.
01:11:23:16 – 01:11:42:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you can only take with you when you walk away from the class. What you know. But there’s so much more to still learn. That would have helped us in what we already know.
01:11:42:18 – 01:11:58:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because what we know only has us have learned. And the ministers said, I have learned. Believer knows just enough to get they self in trouble.
01:11:58:26 – 01:12:02:24
Speaker 4
yesterday. Yeah.
01:12:02:26 – 01:12:15:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you come here and get a couple of lines and, you know, a couple of phrases and you run on out there on your own.
01:12:15:09 – 01:12:48:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And like Columbus, you have learned and you stumble on a land mass that you didn’t anticipate. Ships got wrecked, and he lost most of his men. And as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was left with this almost impossible mission. He was told it would be the hardest job of any man in the annals of history.
01:12:48:14 – 01:12:51:15
Speaker 2
Right?
01:12:51:17 – 01:12:54:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And?
01:12:55:01 – 01:13:28:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Some start learning from him. And then they wanted to leave him. I talked about this before. Two of them, in particular, Abdul and Glenn Muhammad, say we don’t need Elijah. We can go build our own mass. Well, where you going? To get your followers? Well, they didn’t go out to the dead and raise the dead. They took believers that was half alive.
01:13:28:22 – 01:14:17:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Tricked them into leaving the mosque with them. Where’d they go? Build another mosque. And the messenger said Brother Glenn and Abdu were like Columbus. They were half learned and like Columbus, they got lost. And like Columbus, his men had mutiny. He lost most of his men in the Atlantic Ocean. The ships were wrecked. And he said Abdul and Glenn’s mass is tearing apart from they fiery disputes among one another.
01:14:17:02 – 01:15:00:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yet I subject Islam comes after everything fails. And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, well, what is Islam? See, he said, Islam is submission to the will of God. And the predominant idea in Islam is peace. But there was no peace in their house and Columbus didn’t have peace. Half learned the.
01:15:05:04 – 01:15:22:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you say, Mr. Muhammad, that Islam comes after everything fails. How do we know that everything failed?
01:15:22:12 – 01:15:31:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, we must have tried it. And it’s not working out for us.
01:15:31:13 – 01:15:51:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So in Thessalonians it says God comes only after the workings of Satan. And. And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, we sing that song. Give me that old time religion.
01:15:52:02 – 01:16:09:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then he said, Islam is that old time religion because Islam came with God himself. Now think of this.
01:16:09:29 – 01:16:48:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Islam came with him. But if he’s God and Islam means submission to the will of God. How can he bring Islam with him? It would seem like he would just lay Islam on us to submit to him. What did he submit to? He if he’s God? Yes. Hey, because see, in this crazy country, a wild country, the religion is wild, right?
01:16:48:18 – 01:17:17:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right. And we say God got us under laws and rules. But they were teaching us in Sunday school. God don’t even obey his own law. Think about that. He don’t have to because he’s God, right? Well, how does he do this thing without doing that? God works in mysterious ways. You see, these are the falsehoods that we labored under.
01:17:17:03 – 01:17:24:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said he was in triple darkness and he wanted light.
01:17:24:17 – 01:17:26:29
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:17:27:01 – 01:17:59:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And there was no light this day. So he became a light unto himself instead. Then he made himself to rotate around his own light, thanks the light of God. His will. He made himself to rotate around it. So he was the first to submit to his perfect law. It’s exercised perfectly in him.
01:17:59:12 – 01:18:00:24
Speaker 4
Yes, God.
01:18:00:26 – 01:18:02:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then he creates.
01:18:02:07 – 01:18:03:17
Speaker 4
Us.
01:18:03:19 – 01:18:46:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And puts his essence in each and every one of us. Think of that so that he is there. Even though they got us in a state where we can’t see him and can’t feel him. Because we’re under someone who has wiped out the remembrance of him, where? So we can’t feel him. That’s when. So the only way we’re going to feel him, he’s got to come himself to.
01:18:46:03 – 01:19:06:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And bring us Islam. Not an organized religion. Because of everything that failed. Islam was already here, so it wasn’t succeeding because he didn’t come to teach us about an organized religion. He came to teach us about the nature that we were created in.
01:19:06:27 – 01:19:07:26
Speaker 4
Yes.
01:19:07:29 – 01:19:40:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, Islam is the natural religion of the black nation. Come on. Yes, sir. Natural comes from the word nature. So it’s the nature that we were created in. It is the nature in which we were made. We are called to return to Islam. In these words from the Holy Quran on set your face up right for religion in the right state.
01:19:40:19 – 01:19:51:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right? The nature made by Allah in which he has created men. Notice it didn’t say the nature created by him.
01:19:51:29 – 01:19:57:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A nature made by him.
01:19:57:25 – 01:20:05:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And that’s in our nature. And it makes Islam natural. Are you following?
01:20:05:01 – 01:20:07:09
Speaker 4
No. Yes, sir.
01:20:07:12 – 01:20:30:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why? We got to the religion of Islam. Because we’re in the world ruled by the made man, not the created one. We’re under the rule of mankind, but not original man. and since he’s a kind of a man, he wasn’t made with a.
01:20:30:17 – 01:20:32:07
Speaker 4
Nature.
01:20:32:10 – 01:21:02:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Of Islam. His nature is actually contrary to Islam. You follow it now. And if he’s ever going to have a chance to live right, it ain’t going to be in his nature. So he has to have a written manual ready. That’s why you got the books of God. Because we have laws. How to read the creation of God.
01:21:02:22 – 01:21:38:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The originator, the menace that teaches us. Did not want us to ever get out of his mind. Right? So he created a universe. And everything that’s written in the universe, we’re born out of the universe. So that comes in the package called Man and Woman that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad could tell us. Every principle and every law that’s in the universe lives inside our being, every.
01:21:39:00 – 01:21:43:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. So if Islam.
01:21:43:17 – 01:21:47:13
Speaker 4
Comes.
01:21:47:16 – 01:22:27:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We didn’t produce it. If Islam comes, it can’t come on his own. Then who’s bringing it? So the scripture said, he’s coming out of the East, even unto the West. So, and he describes him as come, corresponding with how light starts in the east and comes to the west. So will it be with his coming? And if he’s bringing Islam with himself.
01:22:27:04 – 01:22:37:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then the call is for us to just submit to it.
01:22:37:25 – 01:23:14:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If. It comes, then is seeking something or seeking someone. This is important because sometime we act like we chose God. That’s what. But we didn’t know him, right? So we always says he come seeking. We weren’t even seeking him. Yes, right. Let’s be honest. The life we were living did not. That life wasn’t designed to make us seek him.
01:23:14:22 – 01:23:18:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So.
01:23:18:06 – 01:23:24:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He was seeking us so. We didn’t call him. He called.
01:23:24:26 – 01:23:26:22
Speaker 4
Us right?
01:23:26:24 – 01:23:37:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we didn’t choose him. He chose us, right? So Mr. Muhammad said, we are God’s choice. That’s right. He wasn’t our choice.
01:23:37:14 – 01:23:39:08
Speaker 4
That’s right. Teach.
01:23:39:10 – 01:23:52:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But we’re his choice. Yes, sir. That’s right. God’s enemy never raised us to choose a God that he himself could not submit to ministry.
01:23:52:27 – 01:23:55:01
Speaker 4
But he was so.
01:23:55:03 – 01:24:00:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, see, if we look at it that way, we got a lot to be grateful for.
01:24:00:29 – 01:24:02:13
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:24:02:15 – 01:24:16:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But when you don’t look at it that way, it’s easy to walk away from this and go back to what you were in two. Why would you stay if you’re not grateful?
01:24:16:29 – 01:24:19:05
Speaker 4
teachable?
01:24:19:07 – 01:24:20:13
Speaker 2
What? Why would you.
01:24:20:13 – 01:24:33:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Want to hold on to the gospel? Proud of Islam. If you think you giving God something and he ain’t giving you nothing.
01:24:33:13 – 01:24:35:28
Unknown
But he says.
01:24:36:01 – 01:24:53:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look at Mr. Muhammad. He said there’s no altering of Allah’s creation. You can’t change the nature of someone, but you can tamper with their characteristics.
01:24:53:15 – 01:24:55:23
Speaker 4
Yes.
01:24:55:26 – 01:25:22:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when you tamper with the characteristics of someone, you can make them other than themselves. To be other than yourself means that you’re alive and breathing. I’m alive and breathing, but I’m not living in accord with a nature that I didn’t even know I had. Oh, him.
01:25:22:09 – 01:25:34:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The devils know the true religion of Allah. Mr. Muhammad says, watch this and have always known it.
01:25:34:06 – 01:25:45:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, that’s not true, Brother Rodney, because they didn’t know it to you all start setting up temples. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was given 104 books to read.
01:25:45:25 – 01:25:47:20
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:25:47:23 – 01:25:59:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he sent to Mother Clair to send him the list when the hypocrites were trying to kill him so he couldn’t go back to Chicago.
01:25:59:05 – 01:26:03:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when he got the list, you know, it couldn’t come in the mail.
01:26:04:00 – 01:26:07:01
Speaker 2
Elijah Muhammad no, sir.
01:26:07:04 – 01:26:13:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It was I, Bogans or Mr. Russell. He worked with aliases.
01:26:13:23 – 01:26:17:22
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:26:17:24 – 01:26:47:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But nevertheless, he got the list right. And of the 104 books, one of them was the Holy Koran. The other 103. Two of them may be on may have been on Freemasonry in the secret societies, which also is Islam, because if you go to the lessons, it says, why did we make the devil study from 35 to 50 years?
01:26:48:00 – 01:26:49:15
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:26:49:17 – 01:26:57:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Before he can call himself a muslim son? Yes.
01:26:57:08 – 01:27:17:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s. Who’s making him study from 35 to 50 years and then say he was a muslim son said he could call himself that right. But if there’s a muslim son, then it must be a muslim father. Teach brother. That’s why we don’t have to run to try to be. No. Mason.
01:27:18:01 – 01:27:18:29
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:27:19:02 – 01:27:20:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are you following that.
01:27:20:19 – 01:27:22:16
Speaker 4
Brother? Minister?
01:27:22:18 – 01:27:54:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To be a son? When you learn that you are the original man. You ain’t no son. You’re the father’s of this knowledge. And the father of this science. So one of the books was the Holy Koran, and the other books were all on the life of Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him. So he’s right. The devils already knew this religion because he went to the Library of Congress.
01:27:54:10 – 01:27:58:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He didn’t go to the Islam bookstore because there weren’t any.
01:27:59:03 – 01:28:00:06
Speaker 4
That’s right.
01:28:00:09 – 01:28:08:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, they have them now because. Because the Nation of Islam has made the way for Muslims.
01:28:08:12 – 01:28:19:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To come in. Now they want to take you in another direction. And we going to close out and read the words of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, why we’re in the right place,
01:28:19:19 – 01:28:20:00
Speaker 4
Yeah.
01:28:20:03 – 01:28:46:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we don’t have to live in come the nation of anyone else. But we not going to stand condemned. Yes, I teach brothers, he says they’ve always known it, but they will not teach it. Because why won’t they teach it, Mr. Muhammad? Because it’s against their nature.
01:28:46:08 – 01:28:56:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They don’t have a nature to accept submission to anyone, because Mr. Yaqoob made them to be the gods of their own world.
01:28:56:09 – 01:28:57:26
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:28:57:28 – 01:29:06:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They don’t just don’t have that nature because of color. Their skin is white. It’s something in the mind. That’s right.
01:29:06:18 – 01:29:09:01
Speaker 4
It’s not.
01:29:09:04 – 01:29:16:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Being white didn’t make them necessarily evil. According to the lesson, yaku was an original black man.
01:29:16:21 – 01:29:17:29
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:29:18:02 – 01:29:26:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He never was grafted. No. No, sir. But it says he taught them to do this devilish man.
01:29:26:08 – 01:29:27:15
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:29:27:18 – 01:29:31:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Devilish men had never been taught on the planet. So the orientation.
01:29:31:13 – 01:29:33:01
Speaker 4
Class. Come on.
01:29:33:03 – 01:29:46:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Guys, is overseen and supervised by an original black man.
01:29:46:19 – 01:30:23:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s against their nature. And it’s against their nature to believe and teach the true nature of God. Because this would upset his chances of ruling the people under false. Now, Yaqoob, according to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, never taught Christianity. No, sir. He taught the only religion that there was Islam. But he colored it. Yes, ma’am. He taught it on a luxury basis.
01:30:23:19 – 01:30:29:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir. We got some luxury based Muslims now.
01:30:29:27 – 01:30:32:14
Speaker 4
Right?
01:30:32:16 – 01:31:01:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Haven’t seen you. Okay, man, I gotta make some money. See, everything is real, Now, what’s more real than God and the things that come from him? But everything is real. And so, you know, I got to make some money. And if they ain’t making me no money, I gotta go do this as opposed to what I’ve been called to do.
01:31:01:28 – 01:31:46:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s right. Okay. But, still, this luxury basis comes to getting a few people to work for you so that it can keep the cash register going. Or as Brother Ishmael say, hustling for dollar. Now nobody supposed to sit around poor. So that shouldn’t be misunderstood. And one thing about Islam, it’s a life of balance. You know, you can’t be all carnal and have no moral and spiritual content, but you can’t be all spiritual and broke all the time.
01:31:46:19 – 01:31:57:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right there. I say some you ought. To. So we were laws and he chose us.
01:31:57:19 – 01:31:59:07
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:31:59:09 – 01:32:28:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so we call this the Lost Found Nation. You have seen a lost found department. You leave your phone, you were at a ballgame or something, or some large event. You hope maybe someone found it and turned it in. Then you call back to the place to see. Is there a lost found department? I lost something, see? And where’s the department that somebody realizes is lost?
01:32:28:20 – 01:32:46:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So it was put there. So if I go to that department, I should be able to find a lost item. See, there was no loss. Found department in America. They had us just like they wanted us. We were calling ourself everything and what we were created as. Right?
01:32:46:06 – 01:32:46:19
Speaker 4
Yes.
01:32:46:21 – 01:32:58:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so everything that we would try would be everything that was us outside of and away from God. How could it succeed?
01:32:58:27 – 01:33:09:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So everything failed us. The government promised us, failed us.
01:33:09:04 – 01:33:16:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The kind of life that they gave us. It has failed us.
01:33:16:12 – 01:34:00:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then they gave us a religion and that has failed us. Yakuza children, in order, in order to be able to succeed at mastering the original man. They had to come up with a religion. So in the book of Isaiah it says this in the 14th chapter, how art thou fallen from heaven, old Lucifer, son of the morning, how art thou cut down to the ground which did weaken the nations.
01:34:00:22 – 01:34:39:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
For thou hast said in thy heart, see, they ask, and why are you down now? Why are you falling? Because thou hast said in thy heart I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. The problem here is God’s not even factored in that he’s talking independent of God. He going to exalt himself, he’s going to promote himself in life.
01:34:39:21 – 01:35:16:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But really, the only real promotion in life comes from God. That’s right. People. Who exalt themselves absent from God are people who may have great talent, may have a great gift, may have skills, may have advantage judges. But I can guarantee you, if God is not in it, your gift, your talent, your skill, your connections, it’s going to put you somewhere that the absence of real moral character won’t be able to keep you there.
01:35:16:28 – 01:35:40:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then you’re ready for fall, Brother Minister. So he’s fallen because he’s he wants God’s post. He don’t want what he was created. He so he wants to remove him. I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my.
01:35:40:10 – 01:35:41:10
Speaker 4
Throne.
01:35:41:13 – 01:36:27:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Above the stars of God. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said his throne is the made religion called Christianity. In this way, Christianity is not the same as Christian theology. Theos meaning God ology, the productive suffix, which means the systematic study of a thing. So when you’re involved in the ology, you’re involved in the systematic study of God. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has already made it clear they don’t want you to learn the truth about the real nature of God, because they don’t interfere with them well, because they rule through falsehood.
01:36:27:18 – 01:36:29:14
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:36:29:17 – 01:37:05:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So they gotta make up a religion and they call it their throne because that’s what they rule with. When Constantine made Christianity the official religion of ancient Rome, he saw a sign in the sky where the cross that Jesus was said to be crucified on was superimposed on the sun. And he said, in this sign we conquer the.
01:37:05:15 – 01:37:35:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So Christianity was established and then, Pope Urban, the second. Got every all the Christian clergy round up in Europe to march on Jerusalem. And that was the First Crusade. Are you following now? See, all of this is in the Scripture. Now he’s raising his throne up. Who are the stars of God? They’re the wise scientists of the world of Islam.
01:37:35:26 – 01:38:14:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Crusades were against Islam. Then they marched on Jerusalem and slaughtered everyone they could find. They slaughtered Muslims, they slaughtered Jews, they slaughtered eastern world Christians. Because when they established Christianity under Constantine, those in the eastern part of the Roman Empire did not agree with them. So Rome split when it came to religion. And Constantine brought together the top bishops to discuss.
01:38:14:10 – 01:38:37:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is where they came up with the Trinity. They divided God up into three parts. See, the Koran tells you to desist in doing this. God’s not just talking about something somebody thought of. They don’t had conferences on this, and they established this as a way to live. And what they did, they murdered anyone that wouldn’t go along with it.
01:38:37:25 – 01:39:03:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Okay. So in the eastern part of the Roman Empire, they went another way because they did not see the revelations that they called Bible at that time the same way. So they called that part of the empire, the Greek Orthodox Church.
01:39:03:22 – 01:39:25:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Greek Orthodox Church. And they didn’t agree on certain things. They don’t agree on them. Now. So when they got to Jerusalem and found some of them, they murdered them all. So what did they want out of Jerusalem? See, we talked about that before. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the fight was over the body of Jesus.
01:39:25:13 – 01:39:28:21
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
01:39:28:24 – 01:39:58:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And and when the when the Europeans would go to Jerusalem to travel, to try to see the body of their Lord. Who that man 2000 years ago was a prophet, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said his body wasn’t. You don’t mind hearing about this. He his body was in bomb. Yes. Right to last 10,000 years. So with 2000 years passing, it’s still got some years to go.
01:39:58:10 – 01:40:21:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir. So? They only defeated the Muslims because by that time, in 1095, when they marched on them and arrived in 1099 with with these vast armies out of Europe, the Muslims were divided.
01:40:21:25 – 01:40:35:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, you always got some folks can’t get along because, I mean, if everybody thought exactly the same way, life would be boring.
01:40:35:27 – 01:41:04:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Other people have other ideas. It don’t mean every idea gets accepted. but what it does mean is everybody should be open to hear what other ideas and perspectives are. The way the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan raised us, he said, never, you know, give yourself over to religious dogmas where you can’t hear another man’s point of view.
01:41:04:04 – 01:41:04:26
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
Yes, sir.
01:41:04:29 – 01:41:17:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Even if it’s another religion, another government, another way of living. But when you shut everybody off like that, that’s dogmatic.
01:41:17:03 – 01:41:18:06
Speaker 4
Right?
01:41:18:08 – 01:41:31:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And what will happen to us if we become dogmatic? We’ll have the crescent and star. But we might as well have the American flag up.
01:41:32:02 – 01:41:59:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You say no, because we, the original people. Now you just black. Your skin is just black. Joe Hart ain’t black. The other minister. What’s up? Your mind is not black. The consciousness that you operating under is not black because you’re treating black people the same way the white man was treating them. Only difference with you and them. You doing it under the crescent and star.
01:41:59:11 – 01:42:31:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So they want to raise their throne up against the stars of God. And so we got, you know, the Crusades. And the biggest fight would ultimately be, getting religion. Right. So let’s just close out with a couple of words that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said when he’s talking to, the Muslim woman from around the world.
01:42:31:05 – 01:43:03:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
he said this book, Koran was revealed to the prophet over 23 year period, but no verse of this Quran was revealed absent a context and every context imaginable was addressed in this Koran. So that the silico nature of history as we constantly repeat history, this book would answer in every age. This book would answer in every age.
01:43:03:21 – 01:43:27:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The problems that the human beings would face. So if you only looking at the Koran the same way somebody was looking at it 1400 years ago, you are completely, unprepared to deal with present day realities.
01:43:27:14 – 01:43:38:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He goes on to say, why? Because Islam is not a stagnant religion.
01:43:38:17 – 01:43:54:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why would you, in the 21st century. Be trying to look like you, getting ready to ride a camel.
01:43:54:29 – 01:44:03:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you got a Cadillac. I’ll say.
01:44:03:22 – 01:44:08:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Islam is not stagnant.
01:44:08:11 – 01:44:27:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s it’s it’s evolving because we are. Why do we have to keep a sit up? This this cyclical kind of thing in history where we keep repeating things, we’ll keep repeating a lot of the same mistakes until we made perfect.
01:44:29:29 – 01:44:56:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So Islam has to keep evolving us. You know what? We what what what would be learned from this is that the originator of the heavens and the earth, he did not. Perfect creation in the beginning. Problem is, brother, take that. So? So it means that the entire creation is evolving. Brother Ishmael was hitting on this yesterday at the genocide is constantly moving toward a perfected state.
01:44:56:18 – 01:45:15:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Nothing is standing still. Everything is on the move toward what is perfect. Well, what do we need a devil for? Devil was, was, was made and allowed because we need somebody to expose was imperfect.
01:45:15:05 – 01:45:20:23
Unknown
Teach Brother Lewis.
01:45:20:25 – 01:45:41:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, how did we make him from the weakness of self? The minister said so that means any human being, no matter what color you are, who becomes a slave to their own weakness, becomes a devil in human form.
01:45:41:19 – 01:45:43:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if you’re highly.
01:45:43:09 – 01:45:45:26
Speaker 4
Intelligent.
01:45:45:28 – 01:45:59:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And got no moral character, and you’re completely absent the essence of God in you, then you are devil in human form. You.
01:45:59:26 – 01:46:30:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, I was just reading it last night, how you said all white people will not be destroyed because some of them are going to accept Islam. That’s why they. Are they the original people? no. Is their nature Islam? No. But out of faith, they believe that if they follow it, they can both escape judgment and have a little bit more time on the plan.
01:46:30:11 – 01:46:45:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes. So because of the nature, they can’t live as long as you, you, you and you got no beginning, no ending, right?
01:46:45:19 – 01:46:52:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah. Because we we had to get to the point where we understood it ain’t about the color, the skin.
01:46:52:14 – 01:46:53:06
Speaker 4
Right?
01:46:53:08 – 01:47:30:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s the state of the mind, the quality of the heart. So the minister say it’s not stagnant. Yesterday’s understanding of the divine word of a Lord God may not be sufficient to answer the pressing needs of humanity today. That’s why the Koran says, shall I lead you to a merchandise that will deliver you from a painful chastisement? You see, when you want to buy merchandise.
01:47:30:13 – 01:48:05:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I know a lot of times we go online now and purchase merchandise, but generally you go to a store to get merchandise if the store is nasty, if the people in the store are nasty toward you, even though there’s merchandise that you may have desire, you likely not to purchase it because of the way you got traded, or not purchase it because of the place that the way the business establishment looks.
01:48:05:22 – 01:48:23:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the minister said, you know, the mosque is a place where the merchandise is. What merchandise do we have here? He said the merchandise is Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. That is the merchandise.
01:48:23:07 – 01:48:25:23
Speaker 2
What do people want it?
01:48:25:25 – 01:48:44:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They got no choice. Everything has failed. That’s right. And Islam came after everything failed. The merchandise is here. Why aren’t the people coming to get it? Something’s wrong with the store.
01:48:44:14 – 01:48:52:23
Speaker 2
Something’s wrong with the service.
01:48:52:25 – 01:49:19:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And people are suffering from some. And you got it on your shelf. And they ain’t coming in there to get it. You can’t blame it on the people. You sitting there with, what they need. They know you have it. It’s what they gotta go through to get it off the shelf to satisfy a great need. Shall I lead you to a merchandise?
01:49:19:29 – 01:49:55:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s like inviting someone to a meeting, right? there was a young sister. MGT wrote an article years back. How, She was invited to a meeting with, you know, and then she went out, she said, and just kept partying and everything. And pretty soon, you know, her life started going downhill again. Nothing picked up for but the young man who invited her out to the meeting, he in the process and then becoming and F.Y.I.
01:49:55:10 – 01:50:22:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s her husband now. But it wasn’t like that at first. She was still being pulled by the world. But enough happened. And Brother Nuri was teaching a subject called, you know, act like a woman, but think like a god. He probably was coming from that movie. Steve Harvey was doing, like, act like a woman and think like a man.
01:50:22:17 – 01:50:49:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You saw that movie. But you know, Nuri, he always put a good twist on it, working right into the subject matter. And she said she heard that subject and stayed in it. But she’s a she’s a mgt now, you see what happened to the the the the store had to be right because I’m listening to her words of why she didn’t come back.
01:50:49:12 – 01:51:21:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
She what she did. She wasn’t staying away because something was wrong with the store. She was staying away because the pool of the world still had her. And sometimes enough needs to happen to us out there. To make us come back to something and go on and decide to struggle with ourselves. But the but the minister is saying, you know, yesterday’s merchandise may not satisfy today’s customer.
01:51:21:15 – 01:51:22:18
Speaker 4
That’s right.
01:51:22:20 – 01:52:02:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you gotta make sure you keep the merchandise up to date, keep the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, right down to the modern time, right? Yes. Right. If the merchandise is what he brought us from God, how are the people being made to understand it today? Therefore, he said, the Minister says a deeper, more profound understanding of the Koran must be reached by those who would serve a law, because it is clear that our present understanding of the Koran is insufficient.
01:52:02:20 – 01:52:37:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. See, when Master fight Muhammad came in there, they had about 15,001 mos. Two because the way he brought Islam, he had to bring it in a way that fit the condition of our minds at the time. But I’ve seen people say, we got to bring Islam to our people. And everything you saying is Arabic. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad had an English lesson, right?
01:52:37:02 – 01:52:53:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See? You better reach the people in the mind, in the language they speak, in first. Right? And bring them to what you want, right? Right. Rather than superimposing what you have on someone else.
01:52:53:14 – 01:52:54:06
Speaker 4
Right.
01:52:54:08 – 01:53:30:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the minister said the Arabs had a big assignment to receive revelation of the Koran and represent it to the human family of the planet Earth. But what happened? They begin to confuse spreading Islam with spreading Arab culture right? Come on now. Right. The people don’t need Arab culture. Let’s do the minister say the Holy Koran got a culture of his own.
01:53:30:13 – 01:54:02:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said if our understanding of the Koran was sufficient, we would be a power in the world to make the world in the image and likeness of Islam. Now remember he talked to people of the Muslim world. Now he said, but the world is making Islam in its image and after its own likeness.
01:54:02:14 – 01:54:38:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you look at what the slave master did with the woman, not just the slave woman, but even his own. His own women now raise millions of dollars to maintenance institutions fighting against the mistreatment she’s getting. She ain’t getting mistreated from black men. It’s white men that are mistreating those white women. That’s why they had the feminist movement, the women’s movement and other things they have come up with generation after generation.
01:54:38:03 – 01:54:57:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. So we can’t just bring Islam with an understanding that’s insufficient for the mind that’s been conditioned under today’s circumstances.
01:55:03:17 – 01:55:28:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah, that’s what happens. You go out there trying to change somebody in Islam. They change in you in this. so that’s what the minister is saying. So the minister goes on how corruption has appeared in the land and the sea, on account of which man’s hands have wrought, that he may make them taste a part of that which they have done.
01:55:28:17 – 01:55:56:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So they may return. See, when your eyes come wide open, you can see these verses a lot clearer than when you stuck in somebody whose merchandise is outdated. And when we say that, someone told me, Brother Ronnie, you can’t have a new Islam.
01:55:56:06 – 01:56:27:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I said, I said, when your knowledge increases about a thing, you renew the thing based on the increase of the knowledge. When Prophet Muhammad started out with Islam. You can’t be more Islamic than that. He, given the revelation of the Koran. They were doing two prayers and they prayed toward Jerusalem. But in this Koran it says. Then they asked the question, what has changed his Kibler?
01:56:27:28 – 01:56:56:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He meaning spiritual center? That’s right. He’s not praying toward Jerusalem anymore. He turned toward Mecca. He changed in the teachings. And a Lord said, no, he didn’t change the teaching. I’m testing you. I wanted to see who follows the Kibler and who follows my messenger. See, teach.
01:56:56:17 – 01:57:42:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I never forget when the minister said, After December, I want us to fast with the Muslim world. See, you treated that like a Kibler. You still got some people out there saying, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said fast in December, so they’re still there. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was applying medicine. Yes. And the minister said, once medicine has saturated your system enough to effectuate a cure, if you keep taking the medicine after you’re cured, you know that medicine to make you sick all over again.
01:57:42:03 – 01:58:02:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now, we pretty much not only got that Christmas teaching out of us, but when you look around the streets of Philadelphia, it’s done. Got out of a whole lot of our people right?
01:58:03:00 – 01:58:23:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
when I was a child, you knew it was Christmas. Everybody had lights. You only had half of bushes. It wasn’t half growing. You had lights on in. You wrapped it around your little porch and all of that. And you can’t even put your hands on the banisters to come up because the lights snow. Men out in the yard.
01:58:23:27 – 01:58:44:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Am I telling the truth? Everybody was lit up. And I have to be honest, I’m a child, you know, it’s colorful and I don’t know nothing else. So it looks like a, you know, a great time. You don’t see that much anymore. People concerned about. I ain’t running my peacoat, bill.
01:58:44:07 – 01:58:53:07
Speaker 4
Yeah. Okay.
01:58:53:09 – 01:59:20:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
As little children, they would have us over, give us hot cocoa and stuff. Then we go out and sing carols in front of people’s houses. I ain’t heard no carols being sung. Now, look, they don’t expect us to, but I’m talking about the people that don’t even belong to the. They’re not even interested anymore. And carrying on like that.
01:59:20:15 – 01:59:42:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I guess I’m trying to say to you, the medicine has worked and to keep talking about we going fast only in December for Christmas. Well, the messenger didn’t want us fasting with the Muslim world would look kind of hypocritical. Well, I’m on Ramadan and then December. You got a Christmas. What you doing in there? Getting a Christmas tree.
01:59:42:29 – 01:59:54:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You got. What are you. It was on sale. That’s what you say. They said you can get two for one.
01:59:54:15 – 02:00:25:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I can give one to my sister. And then I moved. I was going to put one up for the children for the two. See? So, No, but it was like the Kippur. Y’all going to follow Farrakhan change into teaching? We going? No, he you see and you can’t you you can’t go so slow that you don’t leave what?
02:00:25:05 – 02:00:29:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You need to leave because God is guiding him.
02:00:29:04 – 02:00:31:19
Student In The Ministry David Hasan
That’s right.
02:00:31:21 – 02:00:53:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He didn’t say we didn’t benefit in in December, but you ain’t going to get much benefit out of it like we got when we were practicing it. And there’s enough information out here that many that are coming now, then they’re not even when they get the orientation, they don’t have no Christmas problem. So we don’t have to fast.
02:00:53:23 – 02:01:17:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then. But we need to be fasting then you got people trying to go too fast. They told me the Muslim said the Minister Farrakhan told y’all to unite with the Muslim world. No, I didn’t come on. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, brother, find a way. He didn’t say, and call Brother Rodney and tell him to help you find a way.
02:01:18:01 – 02:01:19:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
No, but he’s finding a way.
02:01:20:05 – 02:01:21:23
Speaker 4
That’s right, that’s right.
02:01:23:00 – 02:01:51:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He told him. Do you ain’t told you to do nothing but hear and obey and follow him? Believe you are out here coming up, cooking up something. Now you all over there and you turning. So let me just to show you what he’s saying here about this, about the Sunni teaching from he said, now my brother that spoke before me mentioned that he was a Sunni Muslim.
02:01:51:12 – 02:02:17:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
His brother is an Ishmael. Ishmael, Ali Muslim. And I’m sure we’re among Sufis as scholars who have tried to dig, dig and dig deep into the esoteric meanings of the Koran, he said. But I have never seen that name. Sunni or Sufi or Hanafi or Shia in the Holy Koran.
02:02:17:28 – 02:02:22:02
Unknown
And that they’re not. Did.
02:02:22:04 – 02:02:31:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That so he goes on, he said, Prophet Abraham didn’t say, make me a Sunni.
02:02:31:24 – 02:02:32:12
Speaker 4
Sir.
02:02:32:14 – 02:02:34:15
Speaker 1
You didn’t see me.
02:02:34:18 – 02:02:41:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s a prayer in there, and Abraham is clear in the prayer. Make us Muslims make us submissive to thee.
02:02:41:08 – 02:02:42:07
Speaker 4
Right?
02:02:42:10 – 02:02:50:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And raise up among our offspring. Not a Sunni or Shiite, a nation.
02:02:51:01 – 02:02:51:17
Speaker 4
That’s right.
02:02:51:17 – 02:03:09:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he said, who’s submissive to thee? In Arabic you don’t say in submission to thee you say Islam. That’s right. So really he’s saying, raise up in our offspring a nation of Islam. But in truth.
02:03:09:18 – 02:03:10:24
Speaker 2
Prophet Muhammad.
02:03:10:27 – 02:03:51:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Was never told to make a Sunni or a Shiite. And all this, all this started after his death. Yes, sir. He the minister goes on. He didn’t say to Allah make me a Sufi. He said, make us submissive to thee. And from our offspring raise up a nation submissive to thee. The Koran says they did not become divided into after revelation came to them, splitting up their religion into sex and parties, with each one rejoicing in what they had due to envy.
02:03:51:19 – 02:04:02:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, you know. I could deal with you all, but I can’t handle Farrakhan. God.
02:04:02:25 – 02:04:11:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, then stay where you are. Nobody going to pull you out of where you are. That’s right. God ain’t put no gun to nobody’s head.
02:04:11:14 – 02:04:11:20
Speaker 4
No.
02:04:11:21 – 02:04:45:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Say to join this or join that for me as my recompense. The Koran saying for you is yours. For me. But he said, the Koran says we’re rejoicing in our own little click. Due to envy. Then he said, the minister goes on, we must deal with this because the Ummah, the community of the prophet, was one that’s why.
02:04:45:21 – 02:05:12:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, it’s not saying you can’t be a Sufi and a muslim. It’s not saying you can’t be a Sunni and a muslim, but you must not exalt your specific difference over the community. Okay? You must not. You must subordinate your specific idea. I don’t care whether I’m a Sunni and you a Sufi, and somebody else is a Shiite.
02:05:12:24 – 02:05:13:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You a muslim.
02:05:13:27 – 02:05:16:28
Speaker 4
First, right?
02:05:17:01 – 02:05:41:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Where has this gotten us? The head of Iran and the head of Saudi Arabia. Two Muslim brothers had a dispute. The Koran teaches you how to handle a dispute. That’s right, a disagreement. Can’t see everything. Raise the messenger.
02:05:41:18 – 02:05:42:02
Speaker 4
That’s right.
02:05:42:08 – 02:05:52:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
His standard and the word that God has given him above your point of view and above that one. That’s right.
02:05:52:25 – 02:06:00:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And leave the meeting being just to yourself and your brethren with no straightness in your breasts, right?
02:06:00:12 – 02:06:01:21
Speaker 4
Yes, sir.
02:06:01:23 – 02:06:23:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And some differences are so deep that it says, And Allah will settle that right. Where in you differ? Now, if he’s telling you, I will settle that. Then don’t get in his way for settle it because you’re making a mess.
02:06:23:11 – 02:06:23:19
Speaker 4
Right?
02:06:23:22 – 02:06:30:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir. Out of the way! God is doing it with his messenger. See the ministers talking to the Muslim world.
02:06:30:06 – 02:06:30:29
Speaker 4
Right?
02:06:31:01 – 02:06:37:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the messenger told him to find a way.
02:06:37:20 – 02:06:44:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, so very quickly.
02:06:44:03 – 02:07:19:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, you have time. You read the 80 of Sura? He frowned. Because, see, the minister is talking about us. But in he frowned when the prophet was talking to a man who was well to do. And these were chiefs among the Koresh. a blind man who was poor came up to him wanting Islam. And the prophet frowned on the man because he was interrupting him, talking to some well-to-do people that could probably help the movement and when he frowned on that man, Allah frowned on him.
02:07:19:25 – 02:07:22:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right?
02:07:22:27 – 02:07:55:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And see, when these people of Islam in the East saw us, they didn’t treat us any better than the white man was treating us. They saw us in the condition eating pork, and they set stores up in our community selling liquor and pork. And I never forget, some of them was set up and I was telling the minister, so he said, well, brother, don’t beat them up with our teaching beat them up with the prophet.
02:07:55:29 – 02:08:20:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Tell them, what would the prophet say about you if he came back and saw you here talking about hum diddly la and you got whiskey. You selling to black people, you got pork, you selling the black people in into me. And then you talking about they are non-Muslims. So you feel justified in doing this. You frowned on them.
02:08:20:21 – 02:08:46:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Allah has frowned on you. See? How do you know Allah has frowned on them? Because if we had to wait for Islam to come through them, we wouldn’t be Muslims. Today, with an understanding like we have today. And so they’re angry now that we get enough. So now they want us to leave where we are and come sit with them.
02:08:46:09 – 02:08:46:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Hell, you.
02:08:46:28 – 02:09:05:18
Speaker 1
Didn’t come get us. It was Elijah that came together. And when we fell, it was silicon that came to get us. The hell with you and your understanding of this religion.
02:09:05:20 – 02:09:33:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You got two Muslim brothers over nations. Got a dispute and the head of China gotta come over and help you settle it. And he don’t believe in your God. Your book, your community, the revelation, the prophet or nothing. Come on. You can’t solve your own problem with your brother. And you want us to follow you to solve the problems in the world.
02:09:33:24 – 02:09:58:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Teach brother Minister. Well, that’s been solved for us. God is destroying this world, but he’s taking it down. He’s not sparing it. And the Son of Islam is rising in the West in the last day. So I think we have enough Islam come. Everything done failed us. That’s right. Now you can run to the Democrats if you want.
02:09:58:25 – 02:10:28:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They’re very good. I’ve worked with some. You can get something good out of the government and use it. But you know, nobody can bring us the light that we need to use. What we have. Moses didn’t know nothing to. God revealed to him. And the first thing he wanted to know, what am I going to use to break my people out of this captivity?
02:10:28:28 – 02:10:31:06
Speaker 4
I don’t have the money.
02:10:31:09 – 02:10:42:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I don’t have the weapons. And a lot told him, you’re not to use any weapons.
02:10:42:09 – 02:11:11:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Don’t worry about what they have. What is that in thy hand? He said, hey, this is just an old staff. Start with the staff that you have put and get to work, A lot of times we looking for something and God is getting ready to do something with what we already have, right? We’ve so devalued ourself, it ain’t no way we can value what we have.
02:11:11:09 – 02:11:34:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s why it’s hard to be grateful in this life. We just complain, But when you learn how to be grateful for what you have. That’s right. Thank you. And sometime you don’t have nothing because God is tired of you sitting down.
02:11:35:00 – 02:12:07:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Elijah was just sitting. He wasn’t doing anything else in the way of God’s mission. And the Bible says, and so the Ravens did bring him a food supply, and he got to drink water from the brook. So what did God do? He stopped the ravens from coming. Nine. No more food coming. You’re in a food desert, right? And he said when he went to drink, God dried the brook.
02:12:07:28 – 02:12:31:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why would God take what little bit he had to survive? Because he wanted him to move on. And sometime we won’t move on to God. Dries. I broke up what I they let me go. They said they was laying off and they let you know. Sometime God wants you to make a move. You never make it unless he closes doors.
02:12:31:20 – 02:12:46:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To get you move. But you should remember, no matter what closes this God have come now. Yes, we open for business. When it comes to the resurrection of the dead. We are open for business now, and there’s no.
02:12:46:00 – 02:12:48:09
Speaker 1
Power that can shut us down.
02:12:48:12 – 02:13:09:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All praises due to Allah, who came to us in the person of Master Fard Muhammad. And all praises due to a love for his Christ, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And we’re eternally grateful for their servant, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Thank you for listening. I solemnly.
02:13:09:29 – 02:13:44:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All praises due to Allah. Our nation suffered a big loss. We had a service yesterday, so I don’t know if we all got to tune into it, but keep the Farrakhan family in your prayers. Because it’s a great test. It’s Brother Ishmael spelled out so eloquently, yesterday. So if you’re out for your first time, second or third, you’ve never accepted the invitation to Islam.
02:13:44:18 – 02:14:07:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We the invitation to Islam already tell. If we chose God, we’d be given out the invitation. No, the invitation is for us because he chose us, the messenger said. In thousands of years, we never could have known him. He had to come make himself no, you know. And when when you look at it in these times, you realize how much you and I have to be grateful for.
02:14:08:00 – 02:14:32:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. But if you’re interested in becoming a part of this, learning more about yourself. I mean, if you want to do something more, if I want to do more with my cell phone, I got to sit down and learn more about what it can do. Well, when you look in the mirror, think about it like that. You know you’re only doing with yourself what you know so far.
02:14:32:18 – 02:15:04:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But once you learn more, you can do more with yourself. And and the more you do as a community, it only furthers us as a people. The ministers say every one of us has a gift. Not one has been overlooked by a Allah with a gift. And the purpose of the gift is to discover it and develop it, but then use it as a contribution to the whole of our community and people.
02:15:04:17 – 02:15:33:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Okay, so I mean, we have purpose for being alive now. We don’t have to answer the question no more. Why am I here? How did I get here? Who is God? Who am I to him? Who are my people? Because all of that is answered. Now this is and the way we’re being taught, and we have to be that kind of student.
02:15:33:15 – 02:15:58:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the teacher is teaching us in a way where no man I ever have to come teach us again. That’s right. Anybody that’s looking for another teacher. You didn’t get this lesson yet. You missed something in it. And so they come out on Fridays to study. They come out, with each other to study. We have classes because sometimes you learn theory when you sit down and you hear it.
02:15:58:22 – 02:16:29:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the minister said the only way to refine theory is with action, right? That’s why we teach and train. Teach and train. Because that’s how you really get a lot of your lessons. A lot of things that you have learned in life is because you have done some things in life. And by doing those things that it has taught you even greater than a what they call a didactic approach where a teacher just teaches you something and it makes sense, but it becomes real when you take action.
02:16:29:22 – 02:16:57:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, you’re free to, join the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan family. This call started out just in our neighborhoods throughout America. Nice. All over the world. We got study groups in Switzerland. We got we got we throughout Europe. We built an a region in Europe. And our people are all over this planet. So we’re reaching other countries, and everything.
02:16:57:10 – 02:17:35:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so you got to remember this, election. They’re bringing up the Heritage Foundation’s, project 2025. And in project 2025, they want to in the entry of any Muslims coming into America. So this country, it they want it to end up the way it started with George Washington outlawing Islam. They outlawed Islam from these United States of America in the very beginning because they wanted blacks for slavery.
02:17:35:23 – 02:17:57:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And and knowledge makes you unfit to be a slave. It’s impossible to enter. And somebody can hold you captive, but they can’t enslave you, right? Right. You can put me in chains and everything, but I’m sure thinking about how to get out of them. You can lock me up, but I’m thinking, how can I break out of this thing and get away?
02:17:57:05 – 02:18:24:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I always look at this thing as a jailbreak. And the devil is our jailer, right? Yeah. I’m talking about breaking out of prison. Right? Because the Koran said where they were the inmates of hell right now. And if you just going to be a hell raiser, then you’re institutionalized. And soon as somebody let you go to be among the righteous, you, you are a recidivist.
02:18:24:14 – 02:18:55:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You just raise hell among the righteous and have to go back captive city, you’re not yet a prison because I have all these terms in my head, you know, recidivists just you chronically repeating your crimes, not, you know, incorrigible. and but if you can’t make a successful jailbreak and, you know, everybody don’t escape the same way. So if I see a man digging a tunnel and I’m going to scale the wall, I’m not going to condemn him for digging a tunnel.
02:18:56:02 – 02:19:17:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I just want to be successful that way. I’m trying to get out. We spend too much time telling everybody they gotta stop and join our religion. They got to stop and join our organization. They got to stop. And do you know, let every. We need a full court press. Everybody just keep digging. As long as you trying to get away, the person I’m against is the one time I know.
02:19:17:07 – 02:19:40:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let’s stay. They going to have. They’re going to have omelets in the morning. You know, they’d do anything to keep us. Okay. He realize you want to go now? And now he knows it. And he’s he’s trying to find every way to court you and keep you in. They show him more mixed couples.
02:19:40:03 – 02:19:42:06
Speaker 4
Yes, ma’am.
02:19:42:08 – 02:20:16:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And and they making you think is safe. and the minister said love is most powerful force in the universe. Love can conquer all. So it’s not impossible for a black person and a white person to fall in love with each other. But it’s questionable. Because of what they did to us and did to themselves in the same process.
02:20:16:14 – 02:20:59:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So a black man says he loves this white woman. She says she loves this black man, but she’s intimidated by his black mother. She’s intimidated by his black sister. See? So with that intimidation, is the love real? Can it penetrate the social barriers that we have? Oh, you know, this, black woman got a white man, and they’re in love with each other, and he says he loves her.
02:20:59:22 – 02:21:30:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he fears her black brother and her black father. That’s why they got policies to keep the black man in check. And even though he say he love this black woman, he ain’t against those policies. So is the love for you. So all we’re saying is, if it’s real, we can’t condemn it because God is love, but because of what has happened to us in this country.
02:21:30:16 – 02:21:59:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Just questionable when we look at everything, you know, because you you love somebody and you can’t really, in truth, love their family because their family are part of the black nation. And and, you know, we’re not going to get away with black men who got millions and millions and millions of dollars in contract. And, all of a sudden they find somebody white and it’s not a sister with him.
02:21:59:23 – 02:22:18:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We start to change that a little bit. But they used to take all the black athletes and stuff, and your agent said, you know, I got a good, reception for you to go to, and you going to get some endorsements, but you can’t bring Harry May with you.
02:22:18:27 – 02:22:22:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
because I want you to meet Miss Schumacher.
02:22:22:25 – 02:22:24:17
Speaker 4
That’s right.
02:22:24:19 – 02:22:58:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And and you wonder how they do. Doc, who was a genetic and social engineer. He knew how to engineer it. And if you can keep your client moving in these circles, eventually love will develop. Or affection or attraction or whatever, and he end up with somebody other than one of his own women. So, you know, loving ourselves and that this is what Islam brings us.
02:22:58:15 – 02:23:25:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When it came. And this is the one thing that we’re experiencing in America that white America had nothing to do with us as powerful and Sister Able used to talk about how the white people in these hotels, when they see us on Savior’s day, and sister see each other and they run and they hug each other. So they never seen black people showing each other that level of love.
02:23:25:10 – 02:23:39:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But see, that’s the love of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan that we have. Man, we need to keep that kind of love. You know? So, let’s have our, public offering,
02:23:39:12 – 02:23:41:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
working towards something even greater.
02:23:43:15 – 02:24:04:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, we’ll be in South Philly tomorrow, brother. So. But, the Savior’s tour is coming to our city. So I hope a lot of us will be available. $45 came from downstairs. Come on, let’s get them downstairs. Big round of applause. Praise be to Allah. And.
02:24:04:16 – 02:24:39:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
yeah, but we have to save us, too. I think it’s coming Saturday, the 31st. So we hope to have, many brothers from other cities and everything coming into the city of Philadelphia. and we setting up, many of the places that we’ll go and visit some of the communities that I’m sure will be glad to see, the I, we thank you all, and we pray that any believers that went up for the gymnasium, that they all returned safe.
02:24:39:09 – 02:24:55:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
and we’re thankful for the technology that helped us to see that wonderful service yesterday, the homegoing for our sister. So I’m going to have Brother Amin close us out in prayer. And may Allah bless us all.
02:24:55:12 – 02:25:25:11
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Let’s give our Delaware Valley student Regional Minister, Brother Ronnie, another round of applause. All praises due to Allah. We have a few announcements, a few announcements before we close out. First, education is the key learning center and my affiliate offering a virtual learning experience for the 2024 2025 school year. Please check your email for that. Also, there’s an update with that.
02:25:25:14 – 02:25:52:09
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
Education is the key. Learning center is also offering a virtual after school enrichment Academy, so please, please check your email for that. I myself went to this school and are a product of my affiliate, and I can say that all praises due to Allah. There’s something about being taught by teachers and faculty who care about you. Just like a parent would write.
02:25:52:11 – 02:26:23:11
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
When we visit any school here in Philadelphia, we can see that something’s missing from our children’s education. Is that right? That’s right. Many times when they leave that school building, they don’t really have a knowledge of who they are. So then they don’t aspire or attain to be anything. So if we’re in this House and we agree that what we heard today is true and good for us as a people, then how can we not be found sending our children, our nephews, our nieces, our grandchildren to education is the key learning center.
02:26:23:18 – 02:26:43:22

This is when you really, really, really get to find more about each other. If you come on Sunday, you see your brother and sister, but you don’t really get to hear what they have to say about the teaching. And on Friday night, you really get to learn. Okay, my sister sees the teaching from this perspective. My brother sees it from this perspective.
02:29:03:24 – 02:29:20:01
Student In The Ministry Ameen Muhammad
And when you know more about each other, guess what? You tend to do less. You tend to judge less because you say, wait a minute, I thought this brother just had a bad attitude all the time, but I realized he was going to. He’s been going through this for months. I read off of this sister had this bad attitude, but she been going on going on with this for months.
