Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Send it! But there’s going to be more drinking on Christmas Day. The so-called birth of Jesus. It’ll be more drinking and smoking and partying than any other time of the year. And going into the New year, there’ll be even more of that same thing. So it’s the silly season, except for those who eyes are wide open and we are wide awake.
00:00:25:16 – 00:00:47:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We know better, and we don’t fall prey to what the enemy has laid up for us as a trap. As a matter of fact, we try not to buy anything during the season because we want to make him feel it right. We want to get him back for what he’s done to us all year. He’s been lying since we’ve been here, and he’s been taken from us since we’ve been here.
00:00:47:19 – 00:01:06:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So right now we just want to let him feel they didn’t feel the sting of it all. I don’t know if many of you remember the movie, Trading Places. With Eddie Murphy back in the day. Never forget the scene where Eddie Murphy found out that it was the Duke brothers who ran this finance, company.
00:01:06:12 – 00:01:23:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He. He found out that they were behind setting them up. Him and Dan Aykroyd or, you know, had them go through the difficulty they were going through, made them switch position, made a rich man poor and a poor man rich and then they would take you want to take it from both of them? Well, what happened was he he overheard them talking about it and he said, you know what?
00:01:23:19 – 00:01:43:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I found out something. The only way to hurt rich people is to make them poor. That always stuck with me. And that’s what he did. They went and they broke the Duke brothers. And the fourth, the story goes on, they they crashed the whole stock market that that year. Well, we can do the same thing. All we have to do is, my brother.
00:01:43:21 – 00:01:59:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Like he tells us when he comes up here, we can just do nothing. You just do nothing, and we can be powerful. So imagine doing nothing. We did it. October the 16th, 1995. Will we redistributed the pain that day? It was a day of absence, right?
00:01:59:21 – 00:02:00:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir.
00:02:00:17 – 00:02:21:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We didn’t buy anything. We didn’t sell anything. As a matter of fact, we didn’t do anything that day. And they didn’t tell us. But the stock market literally crashed that day because black people stayed home. And we showed up in Washington, DC at the behest of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, calling us for a million black men to show up and two king 2 million.
00:02:21:18 – 00:02:40:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, according to Naval Intelligence, by their gridding off from the satellite gridding off the mall that day. And they can show you in every section how many people were standing if they had all day long. It was a million, 8 to 2 million black men on that mall all day. That was their numbers. And those of, you know, the devil is a liar.
00:02:40:22 – 00:03:10:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Didn’t he come right behind that and said it was only about 400,000? And the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, how many of you remember that movie with, Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes called White Men Can’t Jump? Well, the minister said, not only can y’all, can y’all, y’all can not jump. You can’t count either way. Anyway, he went ahead on, but nevertheless, it was a powerful day because we showed up and we showed the unity and the strength which, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, is more powerful than an atomic bomb.
00:03:10:13 – 00:03:26:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said it’s more powerful than a hydrogen bomb. Well, he said, those are very destructive instruments that brings destruction and death. But our unity is more powerful than both of those. Well, what what does that mean? What does that what does an atomic bomb do?
00:03:26:02 – 00:03:27:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It uses heat.
00:03:27:09 – 00:03:31:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And it burns up everything within a 50 mile radius. I mean, just.
00:03:31:05 – 00:03:31:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Extreme.
00:03:31:27 – 00:03:56:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Heat and destroys it. And a hydrogen bomb, when it exploded, it goes up into the stratosphere, rearranges the atoms, sucks all the oxygen out of the atmosphere, and causes it to cave in on itself. But yet our unity, brothers and sisters, is more powerful than either one of those deadly instruments. Isn’t that something? So let’s redistribute the pain as the final call.
00:03:56:13 – 00:04:22:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It sings to us right here. And if you haven’t gotten the final call, this edition. Get it before you leave the mass today. Y’all all right? All praise is due to Allah. Your family. How many were, a study group on Friday? Well, maybe. Praise be to a lot of you. Just a few. But nevertheless, will you get another opportunity this week to join in and the Honorable Louis Farrakhan and share some very insightful words as read to us every Friday?
00:04:22:16 – 00:04:45:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m on the remote with headquarters. So for the Troy puts it up with the Minister that his words are the only way we can move from man suit to God is that we have to share our thoughts with one another. Oh, it’s a beautiful experience where you get to sit in a circle. There’s a subject matter that we deal with, and then you get to give your perspective.
00:04:45:16 – 00:04:46:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
On the subject matter.
00:04:46:27 – 00:05:02:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Do you know what that does for you? What you get to open up like that. You’ve been talking to crazy people all week. And finally, one day out of the week, you get to come in and sit and talk with some people who, well, at least we act like we got some sense just for that short time. When you leave, you feel so good.
00:05:02:18 – 00:05:04:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Your spirit is just high.
00:05:04:24 – 00:05:06:25
Speaker 3
Hi, hi.
00:05:06:27 – 00:05:24:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m putting emphasis on hard because I ain’t talking about smoking and drinking. Nothing. This is the high. This is a spiritual high that there’s, you know, unlimited supply of what we need. But the words themselves causes us to grow. And then we start to look at things with a different lens in our spiritual eye. We get to see things differently.
00:05:24:03 – 00:05:47:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And then when we hear the man of God come before us and he start dropping the juice, then we said, oh, I know what he’s talking about, because we’ve already been to the class and we’ve been prep y’all all right? Yes, sir. Can I read something? We are dealing with the God within right now in study group. And if you’ll notice, it says.
00:05:47:08 – 00:06:03:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Our Lord was talking to the angels. And he said to them, he said, I’m going to place a ruler in the earth. And he angels, you know, you always got the naysayers standing around what they do. Naysayers talking about what? Why are you going to do that? What’s wrong with it? Ain’t nothing wrong with what it is.
00:06:03:07 – 00:06:20:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Now, what are you going to do that for? And what did God tell him? I know what you know. Now, see, there’s always some people around who think they know more than the man who’s given the instruction. And then the Koran says that if he were to follow you in many things, he would be found in error.
00:06:20:29 – 00:06:35:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So you can’t listen to the naysayers. Matter of fact, we can’t even listen to our friends most of the time. Right. If you got an idea in your head and you tell somebody about it, you know what I’m doing. I’m going to open up a hair salon. How are you going to do that? They ain’t going to give you no loan.
00:06:35:19 – 00:06:50:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You can’t do that. See, that’s the spirit killer. You have to stay away from them people and what we have to do is sometimes it’s best to just hold it in, right? Just keep it to yourself until you can get it off and running. And then you look at it like, oh, you did that. Yeah, I did it.
00:06:50:14 – 00:07:06:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m sure glad. I tell you what, you might not tell him that, but that’s what you say to yourself and everybody in here know what I’m talking about because you’ve been there, you know, you didn’t had an idea it was a good idea. Took off like a rocket ship. And just as it got ready to break through the stratosphere, you told somebody else about it, like, man, I don’t know, man.
00:07:06:25 – 00:07:26:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
They ain’t gonna let you do that, white man. He’ll never let us do that. You say, okay, whatever. Yeah, but y’all get the gist of what I’m saying. But this is what Allah is saying with the minister saying as he’s reading this, I am going to place a ruler in the earth, not on the earth, but in the earth.
00:07:26:09 – 00:07:47:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Y’all know what heaven and earth is, right? Of course, outside you look at the ground. That’s earth. That’s the heaven. But no, he’s talking about on a spiritual level, you and me. Heaven, Earth. He put a ruler, and you and me. But we had a wicked, crooked deceiver, a wicked sinuses that put that part of us to sleep.
00:07:47:18 – 00:08:08:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The critical thinking within the mind that we should have. The God mind that says when we want to do something, we say be good. Then we go to work and make it happen. What does word, the word be mean? We call with human beings, right? Yes, sir. Because the God said be and and here we are. But he went to work on himself first.
00:08:08:08 – 00:08:34:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Then he made us in his image and after his likeness. But in that same image and likeness he put himself within us in the Genesis to said that he made us in his image and after his likeness and image, his physical likeness is spiritual. So that means the indwelling part of God Himself is in you and me. As a matter of fact, he says that, process of you, then even your jugular vein.
00:08:34:23 – 00:08:52:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Whew. That’s that’s tight right there. Y’all got to wait. That one. Put that under the microscope and look at it closely, because it’s telling us something about ourselves. Well, somebody said, oh, you ain’t nothing. You ain’t gonna never be nothing. All right, now let’s go to Psalm 82 and six year old guys, children of the Most High God.
00:08:52:27 – 00:09:11:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I wonder why they don’t teach that in church. We. That’s another subject for another time. I ain’t got time to go into it. But dear family, I see it is time to bring on our keynote and he’s going to bring a powerful, powerful message to us. But listen to this the true will of God is submission, true strength.
00:09:11:12 – 00:09:35:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
This is lies and submission which permits one to dedicate his or her life through devotion to something beyond ourselves. Y’all all right fam? All praise belongs to a lot. Thank you for the time you allow me to come before you let us bring to this rostrum, hard working helper of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus had this.
00:09:35:21 – 00:10:01:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He had the disciples. Mohammed had the companions with the honorable Louis Farrakhan, God helpers and student and his student ministers around him. Well, I want to bring one of those representatives to this rostrum. Right now. He’s our Delaware Valley student regional minister Rodney Muhammad. Bring him on with PA principal.
00:10:01:23 – 00:10:26:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Salaam alaikum. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, the one God to whom praise is to the Lord of the worlds. We thank Almighty God. Who is the revealer of all truth and the center of all prophets of whom we have made no distinction. We thank him for all of his prophets, from Noah to Muhammad.
00:10:26:14 – 00:10:58:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We thank him for Moses and the Torah, for Jesus and the gospel, and we thank him for Muhammad in the revelation of the Holy Koran. I’m most thankful to Allah for his own intervention in our affairs in the last days, as prophesied and predicted. In him he has made his appearance in the divine person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever.
00:10:58:05 – 00:11:38:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We thank him for his exalted servant. We say messenger Messiah. Terms that we have heard. But we hope can be made clearer to us in such a time where clarity is desperately needed. We thank him for his exalted servant in the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. To the two of them, I’m eternally indebted for their student servant and helper, but our leader, teacher and guide whom we seek to help in this hour, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:11:38:16 – 00:12:16:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So let me greet you with their names and the greeting words of peace. Salaam alaikum. And thank you all very much who have come out. So many people are traveling and many people, in this land. I don’t know of any other country that, celebrates, or recognizes the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, but many times people have used this as an occasion for families to come together.
00:12:16:07 – 00:12:57:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s not a bad thing for families to come together, since so many of our families have broken. And coming together gives them an opportunity, to see each other again and and share in their own life experiences and their journeys, with one and the other. We are thankful to Almighty God for a family being made in these last days.
00:12:57:29 – 00:13:28:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I thought I knew my brothers and sisters until I met the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And he has made many brothers and sisters for us. That we are still getting to know. They had his saying, you can choose your friends and associates, but you can’t choose your family. So I couldn’t pick and choose who my family would be.
00:13:28:16 – 00:14:03:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In this last day, the Word of God determined that as preached by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, he is producing a family. Jesus was inside the meeting and the disciples informed him that thy mother and brother, outside his response was the question, who is my mother and who is my brother? Except he who does the will of my father.
00:14:03:08 – 00:14:57:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we read in the scriptures, particularly the Bible, so and so begot, so and so. And then they begot so-and-so and that was a bloodline. But Jesus was coming from an entirely different angle when it came to recognizing family. He who does the will of my father. Man, that’s that’s something. So with the few minutes that we have, today, we on part two of where we started on revelation, we, are coming from a text in the Koran where Allah reminds the people of the book.
00:14:57:23 – 00:16:00:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Surely we have sent our messenger explaining to you after a cessation of the messengers. So. God is saying, we had a period of time where prophets have been sent to. The messengers have been raised from us, and from what we know, these men have brought words from God that were revealed to them. And what we should know is that when you follow the words of what was revealed to them, you don’t see from them a commentary that gives us an explanation.
00:16:00:17 – 00:16:49:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So Allah says, now we’re sending a messenger, not with Scripture. So, well, don’t we need some more scripture? Not if you don’t understand the scripture you already have. So we’re sending this one with a knowledge of the scripture so that we can make clear to you now what has been revealed. And last week we showed where in the book of Luke it says, and so Jesus open up their minds so that they could comprehend the scriptures.
00:16:49:22 – 00:17:29:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It didn’t say. And so Jesus brought them some scriptures to comprehend. They already had it in another place. They show Jesus coming and says he will judge them by their own book. He’s not going to bring a book to judge you by. He’s taken the book you already got in your hand. But because they don’t understand what they have, they need an explanation that makes sense.
00:17:29:15 – 00:18:07:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So what we found about God’s revelation is it can sustain attack every truth bearer that God has sent those prophets were attacked at every level, and the most vehement attacks against a prophet always came from the religious community. The government wasn’t happy with them, but the want the place that they were low the most were among the religious teachers.
00:18:07:29 – 00:18:22:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because now the prophet is bringing a revelation that God didn’t see fit to bring through them.
00:18:22:24 – 00:18:30:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when God sends revelation, the Koran says there’s a.
00:18:30:20 – 00:18:32:14
Speaker 2
Rule.
00:18:32:16 – 00:19:21:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
For interpretation. Come on. In other words, so that we get the right meaning of what God revealed. There has to be a rule, because everybody shouldn’t be able to just come up with their own way of interpreting God’s Word. That’s the problem we got right now on the planet. And when I join the Nation of Islam, I remember them saying that these scholars have humanity and the deepest of problems because they spend their life studying the Scripture, the Word of God, and giving it their interpretation called exegesis.
00:19:21:19 – 00:19:49:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the world has been trying to, conduct what they call our relationship with God through exegesis. And nobody wants their exegesis attacked. Right? In other words, if you bring a word that me say, we need correction here. They don’t want to be corrected.
00:19:49:17 – 00:19:51:23
Speaker 2
By.
00:19:51:25 – 00:20:28:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It yet as we try to live by the exegesis of what we have, look at our condition and look at the outcome. So many people say, you know, the hell with religion, I don’t need it. You don’t look like and you don’t sound like you in any better shape than I’m in. Right? So I’ll just go watch the Eagles and you go to church.
00:20:28:16 – 00:20:57:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the worship service, how about that? Because. And when the game is over and when your service is over, let’s see what the outcome is. What my condition is. I didn’t get no word from God today. And let’s see what your condition is because you got a word from God. But really you didn’t get a word from God in the purest sense of the word.
00:20:57:11 – 00:21:37:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You got an exegesis. And what you hope is that the exegesis followed the rule. What is the rule of interpreting God’s Word? The rule is none knows is in interpretation, save Allah. That’s the rule. Now, when you look at the Koran, it’ll say none knows it’s interpretation. Save a law, comma. Now this punctuation mark doesn’t end the sentence.
00:21:37:14 – 00:22:14:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s a pause in the sentence. Then it goes on to talk about in those firmly rooted in knowledge. But that’s not God’s rule. And I think I told you, as we were doing the study guides and putting together the scriptures, that we would be studying from so that we could extract from it to bring better understanding. Sister Ava brought it back to the Minister.
00:22:14:20 – 00:22:40:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Nun knows this interpretation. Save a law, comma. And those he said, no, sister, there should be a period. There. And she said, well, Brother Minister, respectfully, I copied it from the Holy Koran with the punctuation marks the same way it is he’s I don’t care where you got it from. There’s not supposed to be a comma behind nun knows interpretation.
00:22:40:14 – 00:23:26:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Save Allah. So take the comma out and put the period in. That’s the proper punctuation mark. Nun knows its interpretation, except God. So nobody got a right to come and bring you an interpretation unless they have consult it with God. All right. So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad brought us an interpretation. That’s right. But he was willing to go on record before the world saying, I have met with God.
00:23:26:14 – 00:24:12:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He challenged the United States government. He challenged the powers in Europe. He challenged the Vatican. He challenged Mecca, and he would not take from the Vatican, and he would not take from Mecca any exegesis. Right, even to the point where they said, we will donate to the nation millions if we can take some of your students. Elijah, and bring them over to Mecca to learn Islam, which means you would have left revelation.
00:24:12:08 – 00:24:52:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come on and gone to exegesis. And when you’re in exegesis, you’re with someone else’s interpretation and not God’s interpretation. Are you following me now? And so now all you’re left with is an empty faith. It’s called dead religion rather than a living faith. Because if it was a living faith, the people that’s over there now would not be acting the way they’re acting when they’re bombing their brothers and sisters and killing them by the thousands.
00:24:52:21 – 00:25:30:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And they’re sitting there like spectators and then want to claim the right that I gotta follow them in order to be a muslim. The interpretation that I have from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is that you can’t make me join Islam. I was already born a muslim, and no mosque and no religious order can make me what I was already created.
00:25:30:26 – 00:26:20:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
At best, all you can do is wake me up to what I am already and put me back on my deen. That’s right. So, from this house, whether it be what we call Islam from this house, whether we call it Christianity from this house, whether you call it Judaism, we’re getting a clear interpretation of God’s Word to help clear up wherever we have gotten our faulty, more counterfeit interpretation of God’s Word.
00:26:20:18 – 00:26:26:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it’s left us with rituals, and we don’t have to. God.
00:26:27:02 – 00:27:16:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we understand no revelation came without the Revelator being attacked. They came after the prophets. They’ve murdered the prophets. Especially in this last 6000 years. More prophets were sent in the last 6000 years than any other time in the history of man and mankind. But no matter how much they attack, revelation survived the attack. And we’re able to pick up what was revealed because it relates to our own history and now our own journey.
00:27:16:13 – 00:27:48:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We went to the root of revelation that Scripture is only a part from a larger book called Universe, and that our fathers looked at the circumference of our own planet, which is approximately 25,000 miles, and the imaginary lines called longitude and latitude. You can study the thoughts of people home and from the thoughts of people, the longitude and latitude of action.
00:27:48:14 – 00:28:15:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can pinpoint not only what they’re thinking, but what kind of actions that kind of thinking is going to produce, and what destiny you end up with and what the outcome will be. That history is not written after it happens, that history is written before it happens, because true biblical history is written ahead of time, and it’s called prophecy.
00:28:15:25 – 00:28:53:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now, black people in America, we’ve never been taught thoroughly in prophecy, as evidenced by we got these Bibles, we got these Korans and everything, and we don’t see ourself in them. All we think God is is justified in blessing everybody else and leaving us here to catch hell. So that that right there shows a fault line. And if that’s the only understanding, we have looked like we would join other people and just had given up religion, what hope do we have?
00:28:53:11 – 00:29:31:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That you got to run behind somebody else to try to get included on salvation. So we have from this house another interpretation, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad will not give you the interpretation apart from the one who interpreted it for him. What a man, O Allah, he says, people of the book we have sent our messenger explaining he does not have scripture with him, but he got a perfect knowledge of the Scripture that you already have.
00:29:31:02 – 00:30:09:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we will open these books and illuminate what God has revealed. Will we be attacked as each community was attacked for what they receive when prophecy was being fulfilled because of revelation these attacks that came on them, the persecutions we we see them recorded in the histories. So the people in the last days can’t escape attack coming from what we believe.
00:30:09:02 – 00:30:48:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Revelation, is needed. So it’s not something that comes even though we feel like we have an option of whether we want to accept it or not, from what we can read. You didn’t have an option in the days of Noah. You might have thought you had an option and you rejected it. But then they show you what was the end of those who rejected the messages that we sent through Noah in the days of lot, they thought they had an option, so they did not want to take serious what lot stood for.
00:30:49:03 – 00:31:23:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So his preaching became a joke to them until the Death angels arrived and they couldn’t recognize the Death angels. The Bible shows they wanted to rape them, but Lotte recognized them. And it says he bowed down when he saw them coming. They said, did you know this ain’t, happy angel? Casper the friendly ghost. This is. We here to destroy this place.
00:31:23:20 – 00:31:53:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Do you have any believers here? Well, I got two men betrothed to my daughters, and he went to try to preach to them. And it was taken as a joke. So now it’s just him. After all those believers that were with Abraham, it ended up just being lot, his two daughters and his wife. And she turned around.
00:31:53:20 – 00:32:20:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All of this is something for us to look at now in the last days, which we have read from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. So, there’s a need for revelation because without it, we never would have guessed up on it. Even to this last day, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad reminds us it was not through our careful studies of ancient and modern history that we recognized God.
00:32:20:25 – 00:32:51:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He had to come and make himself known or we never would have known him. The other thing about revelation is revelation. In order for man to respond to it properly, it has to appeal to man’s powers of reason. God can’t reveal something and demand of man that he respond appropriately to what’s revealed. If what he reveals is unreasonable.
00:32:51:19 – 00:33:31:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, we’ve been taught to accept what’s unreasonable, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad breaks that down. That’s not because God did that. That comes from man’s own exegesis. A man. Who is crucified and pierced on the side can leave and go live in the sky for 2000 years. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, you can’t find him wherever he lives, and you’re expecting him to come back, and we’re going to know it’s the same man, because God had the same wound that did not, heal, nor did it decay.
00:33:31:03 – 00:34:00:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, your nature won’t let you believe that he’s 2000 years old. But yet we’ve been trained to believe that. But when truth come, we got a thousand questions. Just, just just look at, follow me. How our minds have been set up to reject truth and definitely reject the truth teller. So the messenger is rejected just as much as the message is.
00:34:00:07 – 00:34:42:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So that’s just some of the things that that we went through. But I wanted you to look at, the Holy Koran, I believe the second sura. Of Abraham and Abraham and his son prayed. And this is part of the prayer our Lord raised up in them a messenger from among them, who shall recite to them thy messages, and teach them the book and the wisdom, not just the book and the wisdom.
00:34:42:12 – 00:35:25:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And purified them. Surely thou art the mighty, the wise. So how can a messenger come and teach anybody until somebody has taught him? The messenger is in the same condition. We are. That’s what. That’s what a messenger is. He’s raised up from among the people. What raises him? There’s a level of communication that sets him above the state, and the condition that his own people are in.
00:35:25:12 – 00:35:55:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if he’s a good man, he can be counted on to not leave us behind. This is why Lord knows best where to place his message. It it. We may think it should have went to the most brilliant person in our own minds, said we, saying brilliant, but the brilliant person might leave you behind and said, I’m I’m all the wiser because of what God has shared with me.
00:35:55:17 – 00:36:28:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But I’m not going to sit around here and wait for you to catch on. So I’m going to keep moving with this message. That’s not what God was looking for. He needed the right kind of heart that had in it that which would not forsake us when the message came to him. Are you following now? I mean, there’s only one reason we know this, because the Honorable Elijah Muhammad did not run out on us.
00:36:28:18 – 00:36:58:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So somebody has to teach that messenger in order for that messenger to bring an explanation. Does that make sense? Yes. God, you can’t come and explain something to somebody and nobody explain nothing to you. So the first thing we have to see is, well, I ain’t never heard these things. Well, he never heard them either. He got an explanation before he gave one to us.
00:36:58:05 – 00:37:36:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The preachers told Elijah, well, Elijah, they didn’t teach us over there at the school. He said they didn’t have that over there to teach you. This is a new thing coming now. And when this new thing comes, you gotta have a new message that the one that’s new needs a new wineskin. The Muslim prayer is designed to make you and I put our whole body into it.
00:37:36:24 – 00:38:11:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s why you have the movements and things like that. It’s hard to, be unaware that you engaged in a prayer because of the things that you have to do in the prayer, you see. So purifying us is to make the wineskin new for new wine. In the old days, you pour the wine in the skin and it can hang outside of your small home.
00:38:11:06 – 00:38:37:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But as it ferments, it stretches the skin. So you pour the old wine out and pour new wine in there. When it ferments and stretches, the skin won’t be able to hold it. It’ll burst, as Jesus said, and it’ll go. In other words, you can’t get a new teaching and not put your body in this. What do I mean?
00:38:38:01 – 00:39:12:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You want the teaching of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, but you want to eat all day and night. And you don’t want to eat the live, you know, you want to still do the things with your flesh that you did before, then you wonder why it’s not working for you. You’re not getting the full benefit of revelation and what has come, because the vessel or the vessel is too weak to hold the strength of the message that’s coming.
00:39:12:24 – 00:39:45:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, if a knowledge raises a man, the loss of it, the loss of it causes a fall. What is a savage of one who has lost the knowledge of himself? And now they’re living a beast life. Now we think. Well, that’s referring to them falling down in the caves in the hillsides of Europe. They were. They weren’t savage because they were in the caves and hillsides.
00:39:45:09 – 00:40:11:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are you David Savage? Because they had lost the knowledge of who they were. They started out knowing who they were. They were making mischief in there. There’s a reason they were run from amongst us. Then when they were run from amongst us now over a 2000 year period, they lost the knowledge of who they were. They lost the knowledge of their father and the mission that he put them on to make mischief amongst us.
00:40:11:16 – 00:40:29:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When they left the island of land, they weren’t in the condition they were in, in the caves. They were only in that condition when we ran them from amongst us. We didn’t take them back to that island. We took them to a place called West Asia. And then once we put them there, then we called it Europe.
00:40:30:00 – 00:40:59:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It wasn’t called Europe at first, he said, now it’s called Europe. But you can read these histories of that heaven. You ask yourself, why don’t you see black people in the displays at the natural history museums? They’re telling us that beyond 6000 years, don’t even try to go dig nothing up. Right? Because giant lizards were ruling the planet.
00:40:59:19 – 00:41:27:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Nobody could read and write, right? And you were cave dweller. So they showed a different, development. And then they showed you man coming from an ape and everything. But that’s not how law created us. This is surely man was created from a single essence. And the woman, he didn’t say. Surely she was created from a rib.
00:41:27:15 – 00:41:56:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Says your mate was from the same kind. So the essence of us started with God. The ministers say, what is the essence that we started with? He said it was God himself as a soul there. When we started. And in a book called Genesis, coming from genes or the genetic makeup, the people in the first chapter don’t have a soul.
00:41:56:07 – 00:42:28:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let us make man. So they made a kind of a man or mankind, right? Say, how are we going to make him? We’re going to make him in our image. Yes. In our image, our image and after our likeness. But we can’t make him in our essence. We can’t pass our essence onto them. So the grafting process caused the man to lose his soul.
00:42:28:26 – 00:42:59:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Every every movie you see about the devil. The devil will give you all kinds of worldly riches. But he wants your soul. Why? Because he lost his and the grafting process. Come on now, when you get to the second chapter of Genesis or James, this man got a soul. He’s form from the earth. Then God breathed into him from himself and put what he is inside of the man.
00:42:59:22 – 00:43:33:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then the man becomes a living soul. So the man is in the second chapter of Genesis is not the same one in the first chapter. Come on now. So they fell, and when they fell, in the caves and hillsides of Europe, someone had to go lift them up. Isn’t it interesting that Jesus makes it clear that he is not throwing away the Law of Moses, but he’s here to fulfill it, right?
00:43:33:12 – 00:44:12:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. But he never talks about, fulfillment of dealing with Pharaoh. So Jesus doesn’t bring up Pharaoh, he doesn’t bring up the Exodus. He says, as Moses lifted up the serpent of the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted. So Jesus is pointing toward another whole history that’s been hidden from people, and see by us following the exegesis of the present world, whether it was in Islam, whether it was in Christianity or Judaism.
00:44:12:18 – 00:44:41:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That exegesis had a fault line. It’s counterfeit. And it’s not showing us what Moses did 4000 years ago. The Moses of 4000 years ago, in truth, went to the caves and hillsides of Europe to begin to lift him up. Well, we don’t have the time to go into all that history, but it’s in the revelation. So let’s read what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad shows here.
00:44:41:05 – 00:44:48:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He says,
00:44:48:24 – 00:45:14:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He says, now the light of the has shone upon them, and they have turned themselves now to him, and they have submitted to a law to do his will, being blessed as the Jews and Arabs were, to have a messenger born in their midst, to teach and guide his people into the spirit and knowledge of his teacher, Almighty God, Allah in person.
00:45:14:26 – 00:45:45:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the believers are not satisfied with prayers, and they’re not satisfied with just seeking refuge in a law without asking a word of prayer for the success and blessings of Allah upon the messenger and His followers, whom Allah has so abundantly bestowed upon them. The answer to Abraham’s prayer that he raise a messenger from among them, that he may teach the wisdom of the book.
00:45:45:19 – 00:46:21:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Parentheses Bible to so many of them who do not understand the very book Bible in which they think they believe, but without the true knowledge or understanding of the scriptures of Moses and Jesus. Why don’t they understand? Why don’t we? Because we were given the wrong interpretation. For years black people lived with a white Jesus. The ones that see any resemblance of Jesus being black.
00:46:24:23 – 00:46:52:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You don’t know the history of how he was presented. I saw Megan Kelly, who was on Fox News and got into a big fight with Donald Trump when he first ran for president. She came on in the morning show saying, everybody knows Jesus was white. Even white folks came after her to correct her. See, this is how much correction has gone on.
00:46:52:06 – 00:47:20:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And that’s a big correction. Now, how many pictures sold and worse than that, how many images got planted in our minds that Jesus is white and he’s the Son of God, so his father must be white. So white people must have favor with God. And since I’m opposite white, I must not have favor with God. And if I’m going to get favor with God, I gotta get favor with the Caucasian guy.
00:47:21:01 – 00:47:49:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s our deduction. That’s what you left with so many sons like Minister Malcolm X and others begin to bust that up. The ministers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they had to go after that because that had us in captivity. You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Free from what is. Brother Ishmael said, if it’s the truth, you need to be free.
00:47:49:20 – 00:48:27:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then you must be captivated by a lie. Somebody has lied to us, right? And we need an explanation now. You don’t need a new scripture. We need to get the one we got straight. So the. So the messenger is sent explaining to us. Now look what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said. Therefore, a correction must come to them in the way of true understanding of these scriptures, in which their history is constantly referred to.
00:48:27:14 – 00:49:03:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let me go back their history, meaning our our history, is constantly referred to in mentioning the Jews and Christians through the prophets that was sent to them. In other words, when we’re reading the Scripture, we’re reading our history. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, the way our history was written, he used other people so we could see ourselves. So when you see what they’re doing in their relationship with God, you’re watching us.
00:49:03:04 – 00:49:30:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You’re you’re watching us and what we’re going through. Why does the Scripture say, touch not my anointed, who is the anointed, the one that said the Holy Spirit is upon me because I have been anointed to preach the gospel. And then he says, touch, not mine, anointed me to do who my prophets no harm. They harm the prophets that came over the last 6000 years.
00:49:30:11 – 00:49:52:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Who are the prophets that God is saying now? Do them no harm. He’s talking about the followers of this last man who comes in the volume of the book. We are those prophets. We’re made to walk in the footsteps of the prophet. If you wonder why are you catching hell? Read the book.
00:49:52:06 – 00:49:53:08
Speaker 2
Yes.
00:49:53:10 – 00:50:17:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
People caught hell. Elijah was hiding out. He found a way to get some food. I’m. I’ve read the prophet, you know, and he said, well, look, I’m getting something to eat here. Then the Bible says, and he found a little brook where he could drink every day long as he had, that he didn’t try to go fish. Nobody else.
00:50:17:03 – 00:50:46:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He just sat in his house and he stayed there, and he got complacent to the Lord, came to him, and the Lord said, why sit us down here? So the Bible said, so the ravens stopped coming with food, and then the brook dried up right? No food, no water. Gotta get out, soldier. Now I’ve been sitting up, dodging Brother Russell.
00:50:46:03 – 00:51:11:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He called. I didn’t call him back, but the brook is drying up now. What’s going on now? See, when God wants you. I mean, he’s like a stalker. And you around trying to hang out with other people. He start making them catch hell and say, you know, this thing started. Brother Rodney got around us and everything. I don’t invite him to.
00:51:11:10 – 00:51:37:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The next thing you know, though, nobody want to be around you. No more than God. Stop maneuvering you. He know how to get you when he wants you as Jonah. Jonah was running. That’s us. That’s Jonah. You can run, but you can’t hide. And I’m reading in the newspaper about desertion in the Ukraine war. How many soldiers have deserted 4000 on the front line?
00:51:37:12 – 00:51:57:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Just a man. I’ve had it. And I thought about us. We just desert and we. Not even a bomb haven’t been dropped yet. We don’t even have to carry a gun. We just gotta try to dress up, study, get more intelligent.
00:51:57:11 – 00:52:30:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Get more. I mean, here’s a God teaching us through his servant into a better version of ourselves to become better people, sound better, act better, doing better for self and kind. And we running out on this deserting. And they’re catching deserters and they. Look what the. I was reading in the Wall Street Journal. They they decided not to court martial everybody.
00:52:30:17 – 00:52:45:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They just talk them into coming back. I said, this sound like us, you know, the minister said, call everybody back. That ran away and tell him to come on back home.
00:52:45:27 – 00:53:31:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s our history in there. Look at what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad goes on to say. The Orthodox Muslims think this refers to Arabia, and that Muhammad made a peace and blessings of Allah be upon him of nearly 1400 years ago. They think he was the one fulfilling the answer to Abraham’s prayer. But if they look at it again and ponder over it, it’s like their belief in thinking that Muhammad of nearly 1400 years ago was a prophet like Moses, that Moses prophesied in Deuteronomy 1818, where God promises Moses, Moses among thy brethren, I’m going to raise one up like unto thee.
00:53:31:25 – 00:53:57:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then they’re saying, that was Prophet Muhammad. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad says, but they forgot Moses was a man. He was raised up in a house of bondage. Prophet Muhammad wasn’t raised up in a house of bondage. Moses was under a king, the messenger said, who held him and his people in bondage to him, to his false worship of God and religion.
00:53:57:24 – 00:54:33:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He desired no one to interfere with his teachings given to his slaves. So that’s that didn’t happen in Arabia. Name the king that kept anyone from learning. Sure, they were steeped in sin called haram, but they weren’t raised up like Moses. Moses was in a house of bondage. Mode. The Prophet Muhammad was told to read. He wasn’t even told to pray.
00:54:33:16 – 00:55:05:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
His first command was to read without reading. You don’t know who you praying to. It. The Koran tells us we worshiped that which we know not and and shame on us, you know, because today, with the access, we have the knowledge, ignorance is clearly your choice. Now, we used to claim ignorance because nobody would allow us to learn it was against the law.
00:55:05:05 – 00:55:28:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
For you to know how to read and write. And if if a slave master saw you knew how to read and write, you probably were hung or killed. Why? Because if you know how to read and write, you could teach another slave how to read and write. And that’s they could not afford for us. So for 310 years.
00:55:28:12 – 00:55:58:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We were forbidden to read and write. You know, somebody that don’t want you to have knowledge. And the minister teaches none of us can fulfill our purpose in life without knowledge. Anybody that tries to keep you from knowledge cannot be your friend. See, when you don’t read, when we don’t grow in intelligence, even as Mr. Garvey said, intelligence rules the world.
00:55:58:19 – 00:56:34:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And ignorance is the burden bearer of the world. And so we have bear the burden out of ignorance, even of who we are. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad reminds us that a man like Moses would have to come. Why? Because Moses had to bring a new religion. And the messenger said, and he desired, when he desired no one to give a teaching to his slaves, his fear, according to the Holy Koran, was that Moses would change the religion further down.
00:56:34:07 – 00:57:06:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He says he must give them their own religion, teach them the knowledge of the true God, Allah and His true religion, Islam. Look at this and set up a completely new religious service for. See if he’s setting up a new, completely new religious service. You’re not supposed to be trying to follow somebody else in what their religious service is.
00:57:06:27 – 00:57:20:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In the name of I’m doing it the correct way. No, the correct way is the way you’re being given it right now.
00:57:21:01 – 00:58:02:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’re trained because of our self esteem problem. We’re trained that, you know, somebody else always knows better for us. I was sitting in the message in Chicago up on 47th Street that they had built years ago. The minister had sent myself and Minister Abdullah Muhammad there. It was, a celebration that they were opening up there. And the man water theme, Muhammad was there and different council people came to speak.
00:58:03:00 – 00:58:37:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when each one was called up to say something about the work they were doing, you know, the people applauded this one when he came up and made his remark. And so this man from Syria got up, never clap, never clapping in the masjid, never do that. And, the local imam came back up with a member of Team Muhammad sitting there and said to all of us where we got our instructions, we heard, man, you don’t take no instructions from nobody, from no Syria.
00:58:37:21 – 00:59:03:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When that man was from the family of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and had worked to study Islam and build you all up in Islam. That’s your leadership sitting in front of you, not the man that comes from overseas and none of us had ever saw before. But it’s way our mind is trained. I don’t care what religious label you go under, we’re always following somebody else.
00:59:03:06 – 00:59:24:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad did not raise us. And when they said, Muhammad, we want some of your followers to come over and learn Islam from us. He said, the hell you will. And the way many of the helpers in the house were, explaining it, it got pretty loud in there because he was letting them have it.
00:59:24:12 – 00:59:55:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He couldn’t have. Not one of us, because then we would become a slave to an inferior exegesis or interpretation of the way of God. And because is lesser, we would have become lesser. So we could go on. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in his book message to the Black Man, I mentioned last week, he has four places in this book where he defends his self.
00:59:55:14 – 01:00:25:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That means somebody else is not writing to defend his messengers. He defended himself. So on page 157, I believe 186, 248 and 286 when you read those four articles from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he’s he’s got a clear picture of who he is, and he had to have that level of clarity for us, because without it, it’s easy for us to fall under a weaker exegesis.
01:00:26:00 – 01:01:16:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So look what the minister says of revelation. The highest form of communication is to speak, to ask questions about, to argue over what God has revealed to his servant. Perfecting our understanding of what God reveals increases our energy level. When you entertain and I entertain the Word of God, we charge the cells of the brain and activate them now social, scientific thinkers and psychologists and that they claim we don’t use any more than 10% of our brain power.
01:01:16:03 – 01:01:43:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But when you entertain revelation, you charge the cells of the brain to oscillate and begin to have the highest level of mental activity. So when two believers sit down over a cup of tea or a cup of coffee and and they not gossiping, but they’re talking about what God revealed to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And they’ve got a question here.
01:01:43:29 – 01:02:12:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, let’s see, he says this that no other no he didn’t. Even if you in our argument, you’re dealing with something that charges the cells of the brain, electrical charge here will wake anybody up, Nobody can stay sleep with a teaching like that. Teach brothers. And when you’re when you’re discussing things like that, you at the highest level.
01:02:12:12 – 01:02:46:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And look what it says. The devil. He he wants to steal a hearing. And they have this. They got this. They had this is the 1940s and they still can’t figure it out. First of all, they can’t benefit from it. And we’re living off of it. Know what little life we we’re breathing in. We’re getting it from Department of Supreme Wisdom, even what we’re reading from the books and what we’re getting from the study guys are the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
01:02:46:03 – 01:03:12:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It all starts right here. This is where it came from. Revelation seven and this revelation. There was an explanation. The one who comes in the last days don’t reveal a word. He reveals himself, teach for other people, and he demands of his servant, you become like me, right? Then when I tell you, you are like me. And then I’ll say, you don’t need me anymore.
01:03:12:03 – 01:03:26:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I can leave you here. You’re more than enough for them. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, If I’m not perfect, I’m perfect enough for you. You don’t know any flaw in me.
01:03:26:18 – 01:03:54:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To take me apart. So we sustained attack. And to show you we have. They thought it was all over in 1975. And now the nation is back. That’s. And the nation is even back stronger. Don’t look for how many cattle we got on, how many chickens we have, how much crop regrowing. Look at the spiritual depth of the average citizen of the nation.
01:03:54:09 – 01:04:26:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The messenger never said, my greatest asset is the farmland. My greatest asset is the millions of pounds of fish I’m bringing, he said. My greatest asset is my follower. Oh Lord, make Muhammad successful and make the true followers of Muhammad successful. As long as you are success for. They’ll be farm land. That’s right. They’ll be schools. They’ll be commerce.
01:04:26:15 – 01:05:08:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because Islam is really your world. Currency has to be understood properly. Look at this. The ministers say when you have been blessed with divine revelation that tell you things of the present and future, patience is absolutely necessary. Come on, come on. By the time see, barely man is in laws. Except. Except what? They. They’re not in laws.
01:05:08:02 – 01:05:44:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is the exception. You accept those who believe. And the ministers asked. Believe what I see, and they exhort one another the truth. And then those exhort one another. Patience. Why? Because the truth may not become fully manifest at the time of exhortation. Right. We’re trying to tell people we got to get our act together with God. That’s the truth.
01:05:44:29 – 01:06:18:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But people are looking around and it doesn’t look like it. They have to worry about anything like that. I remember when the Twin Towers came down, when they drove those jet planes in there in 2001 and five days after the towers came down, the news was on. It was interrupting every program so you couldn’t get distracted. Everybody was talking about those towers coming down, and they found out about a group called al-Qaida.
01:06:18:26 – 01:06:39:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the government was rushing around about what to do. And they knew war was coming, but black folks thought the world was coming to an end. Right? We counted 611 people on Broad Street when we was over there. They were squeezed up on the wall. I had to climb over people to get up to the front, but I said, I know why you’re here.
01:06:39:23 – 01:07:05:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You scared to death? Because you said, look, let’s just get real. You ain’t here to hear me. You found out we got the minister on to talk about this thing. You don’t trust CNN, you didn’t trust MSNBC or Fox News, you know. But when you heard Farrakhan was speaking five days after and we brought it in from my young people, they filled up the mosque in Wilmington, Delaware.
01:07:05:16 – 01:07:13:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They said, well, where’s another one? I said, but they’re meeting up in Philadelphia. They drove up. We had to put a speaker outside.
01:07:13:28 – 01:07:41:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And, you know, I learned that day. I said, you know what? They already know where to come. They just trying to figure out how much time do I have left to stay in this foolishness and everything out here. All I can tell you is no man knows our real. So if I can tell you the hour and I’m sure a whole lot more people would be gone, they said, well, he said, it ain’t coming down ten more years from now, but it says, it will come in an hour.
01:07:41:17 – 01:08:13:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That a man thought not think. So. There’s a there’s a spirit of expectancy that a follower has that it could come at any time. And the sequence of events happened so fast that you’ll never be able to do a cram course. You find out you can’t get salvation through correspondence course. You got to participate to work out your salvation.
01:08:13:23 – 01:08:38:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
As the Scripture says, you have to be a participant. You can’t be a spectator, and God can give you something that’s good, but it is not going to be good to you, to you receive it right? That’s why we take acceptance. It tells you in the last day that you had BC, but after the man comes, it’s no longer BCC is AD.
01:08:38:08 – 01:09:15:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is the acceptable year of the Lord. So, revelation has to come and. Patience is absolutely necessary, the ministers say, because if you are not patient with God, don’t worry about us trying to be good. We’re always trying to be patient with different people. But this is about being patient with God. The minister said. You will get right to the door of the hereafter and turn around.
01:09:15:28 – 01:09:17:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And look at it.
01:09:17:07 – 01:09:29:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I read where the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, I’m going to lose most of my followers right when the Lord is about to fulfill his promise.
01:09:29:24 – 01:09:56:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So there’s a need in us for revelation, and some of us recognize it more than others. By that I mean we don’t understand everything when we walk in the door, right? No, sir. Is it the day I walked in the door of Islam is a whole lot of things you could ask me. I just would be able to tell you right now.
01:09:56:11 – 01:10:25:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, why are you joining brother Rodney? I trust this man that’s preaching. That’s all I could tell you right now before other information came out. If they say, how come you didn’t take the Covid 19 vaccine? I didn’t have a medical argument. I was, you know, I’m insufficient to to, argue with a person that’s well in doubt in medical studies.
01:10:25:11 – 01:10:44:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I only have one reason I didn’t take it. Louis Farrakhan said, don’t take the vaccine. That’s, That’s what I went with. I had to try and and in truth, that’s how a lot of us came to Islam. You know, they said we’ll eat one meal every 24 hours. We was waiting to 4:00. I know we don’t wait now, but.
01:10:44:23 – 01:11:04:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Oh, it ain’t for yet. Let me try to. Okay, now, I’ll take that off of the. I don’t eat that. And you know, and we following. We better get back to that. The way they doing this food out here. But, and we might get a little help with Kennedy coming over the food drug and he bringing everybody into account here.
01:11:04:16 – 01:11:26:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He having a real hold back meeting. I heard with him come to the CDC, the FDA and everybody that’s doing stuff and he’s talking about changing medications and all this kind of stuff. Well, I said, well, you know, people around, oh, God, he’s going to mess up the health care system. It’s already messed up. What, what? You know.
01:11:26:17 – 01:12:01:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But see, when you get the right interpretation of God’s Word, what other people are frightened of, you can see an advantage in that. Oh, they getting ready to get rid of the Secretary of Education. Well, that that post didn’t come into Jimmy Carter in the first place. And if you look at the state of education in the so they’ve just made since the evangelicals, it’s about 34 million of them are pushing for, you know, religious based schools.
01:12:01:17 – 01:12:28:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, I said, oh, that’ll be a helped us reroute the tax dollars and help us to set up a stronger school system, you know, and, be able to train a lot more of our young people. And, you know, with that kind of set up because the minister said his day earlier this year turn, turn all the young people over to the Nation of Islam.
01:12:29:00 – 01:12:55:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s right, that’s right, that’s right. Just turn them over. I mean, look what you’ve turned them over to. Now. And look where they are now and look where they’re headed. They don’t they’re not even on a mission to preserve the, the, the nation of their own people. Save a handful. And you, you’re not going to be able to save it with a handful.
01:12:55:06 – 01:13:23:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is a big job. And we need a whole generation of people trained. Right? Look at what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said. We need them trained up first in righteousness. That’s right, that’s right. Because that’s where the power of our thinking come from. If my thinking is unrighteous, if my thinking is more evil than it is being inclined to good, what good revelation is going to help Brother Rodney?
01:13:23:21 – 01:13:43:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Soon as I get it? I’m corrupted in my thought process, so it can’t be. First of all, it can’t work for me because I don’t want to be righteous. You know, we think all white people hate us. That’s why they don’t want us to have this righteousness and everything. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said they can’t rule in righteousness.
01:13:43:26 – 01:14:17:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s their nature was made not to accept righteousness as a way of rule. If they did, they’d have to live up to their own constitution. If they did, and they said, well, we know you are, we’re enslaved. They would have at least have apologized by now. But they, they they figure, you know, if we apologize, the next thing they’re going to follow suit and use our apology and put it on record, said, we acknowledge what we did, and then we’re going to walk them to make things right.
01:14:17:21 – 01:14:40:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And, you know, we spend 1.3 trillion now. They give us that reparations. That might turn to 2.3 trillion. It’ll be right back in their hand because our condition, it’s got a rubber band on the money. So soon, as soon as we we’d be running out here beating those other people out here that just spent all this money for the, for the Christmas thing.
01:14:40:27 – 01:15:21:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, Last but not least, the holy Koran says this day I have perfected for you your religion. And given you Islam as a religion. Wow. And completed my favor on you. Well, first of all, this day. What day was it yesterday? If it was made perfect yesterday, why ain’t it perfect now? See the minutes? This teaches us when you say use Islam as a religion.
01:15:21:24 – 01:15:47:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You saying is not a religion is really the nature of us. But we’re using it as a religion. Why? Because you know, man don’t know himself, right? But he thinks he knows religion, right? So a lot of the sets of revelation to come through religion, to help man get back to himself. So set a face for what religion.
01:15:47:28 – 01:16:20:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then it says being upright. And that’s what Abraham was. He was an upright man. And we are the seed of Abraham. Upright people just made low down, come on things. But a messenger comes. But before the messenger God comes himself. Yes, sir. He raises the messenger. And with that, the messenger knows how we are to be raised.
01:16:20:09 – 01:16:54:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The press ask the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. What exactly is your mission? He said it’s to give life to the dead. I preached a word, and that word got life, light and power in it. And when somebody receives it, everybody don’t receive it. We talked about that in the Koran, that the rain comes down and some of the land that accepts the rain, it grows abundantly, but the other land stays scanty.
01:16:54:21 – 01:17:24:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Something comes up, but not what could have come up had they received the water. Yes. So thousands can sit down and hear it, and maybe only hundreds will get up and accept it and say, I receive it now, and I can benefit from it. The honorable, Louis Farrakhan, you can tell he has accepted it 1,000%. And, well, they some of them don’t like Farrakhan.
01:17:24:07 – 01:17:33:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The world loves his own. Oh, if he if he was a part of the world, he’d be loved.
01:17:33:22 – 01:18:10:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But his mouth is being used to condemn this world. And its rulership. So, you can’t be love like that now, the Koran is supposed to be and is a perfect revelation. But you can have a perfect revelation that’s not God complete in his favor. That’s like you and I getting something, but we don’t know how to work it.
01:18:10:10 – 01:18:38:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you gave me something that I can’t lie about, that, but I can’t do nothing with it. Right? I don’t have understanding. So you got a perfect revelation with an imperfect understanding that you probably just make a mess of Islam until a perfect understanding comes to you. Now, God has completeness, favor. Don’t send a messenger with most Scripture.
01:18:38:06 – 01:19:07:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Send somebody with a perfect explanation of the scripture we already have right? And now we coming into power. Why? Because now the cells of the brain of man. I mean, they’re electrified now, right? The mind is on fire. And when we’re like that man, a poor man can get up. Have you ever wondered why the poor receive Jesus gladly on?
01:19:07:10 – 01:19:36:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He didn’t open a bank for him. He never gave him any money. No. The minister said they were inspired because this is a man who’s magnetized now. And when you preach to a poor man and a poor woman, and the cells receive what comes from God, that inspiration will make a poor man get up, a poor woman get up.
01:19:36:21 – 01:20:04:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s why he said, blessed are the poor in spirit, not the poor in your pocket and purse, because the spirit can’t think the spirit comes as the fruit of your thinking. Yeah, poverty is a spirit. Poverty is not your bank account. We just have to learn laws of wisdom, man. Don’t put in front of you what don’t belong in you.
01:20:04:06 – 01:20:33:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Get things out in from in front of you. Get people out from in front of you that don’t belong in your head. Right? I mean, we making all the wrong choices in life, and it’s it’s taking us down and keeping us down, you know? But when you have perfect revelation with an imperfect understanding, explanation is required.
01:20:33:14 – 01:20:56:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And that’s why God sends a messenger explaining to you after a cut off of the prophets. Because without an explanation, we can’t get out of the Scripture what we need. Notice how the Honorable Elijah Muhammad kept using the Bible in Abraham’s prayer. Teach them the book, he said, the first book we had to be taught was the Bible.
01:20:56:12 – 01:21:23:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We didn’t have Korans. The nation didn’t have Korans. The 1959, 1960. I mean, we’ve really popularized Koranic reading in this country because by him having temples all over America and the believers start getting the Korans when they came in. I mean, it was in many of our households before that the only ones had it was the Shriners and the library and the one the Honorable Elijah Muhammad saw.
01:21:23:18 – 01:21:56:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
One was in the Library of Congress, right. So, he’s talking about the Bible because the early Muslim community, it was built with a perfect insight into the Bible. He took the same Bible pastor had in the church and produced a clean group of Muslims right in the midst of everyone. And while they were condemning him, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad took that Bible.
01:21:56:27 – 01:22:05:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
By 1960, we got shipments of Koran because he had the one that he wanted us to have.
01:22:05:11 – 01:22:48:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He was given to buy a lot of Muhammad Ali, Yusef, Ali, before he left, because Yusef Ali wasn’t ready until 1934. Right, right. And he he’s producing a clean community. And so many of us, we got our start from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. But of course, they worked on us today. You know, the power of Arab scholarship can really delude you and make you feel like I’m in the right thing, but it’s so mystical, it just keeps you floating around in faith.
01:22:48:18 – 01:23:13:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why are you suffering out here? You know, we’re starting to see that we need to get our feet on the ground. And Muslims are starting to look now and see. Yeah, there might be a little racism here because the prophet was led by God to have Bilal, a black Ethiopian, be the one to call everybody to prayer. Right?
01:23:13:16 – 01:23:23:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Oh, come on, 1400 years ago, there was a problem with that, right? Look at that.
01:23:23:18 – 01:24:08:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And even the last sermon of Prophet Muhammad, he said, let there be no superiority of the white over the black, so that there was a white, black thing going on already. Why would he even say that in a sermon unless he saw it? Let there be no superiority of the Arab over the non-Arab. He saw that also. So the the equality that’s needed for a real brotherhood and a real sisterhood, the elements to keep that thing from coming into existence was already in his ranks.
01:24:08:17 – 01:24:25:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he said, so the generation that’s with me is the best and the one after them, but the next one that comes, they will not even be of me. See, by the time he got to that third generation, he said, they’ve they’ll be saying Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. But they will not be of me. We didn’t say that.
01:24:25:22 – 01:24:49:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said that he he was made to see that there would be deviation from there. And if we’re not careful, we’ll be deviating from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. These histories are not for us to put other people down, but let’s use it as a caution. Man, I don’t want to walk that way. I don’t want to mess up.
01:24:49:28 – 01:25:18:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Revelation. There’s no more revelation. Come, you either get this right or there is. There is nothing else to come. You can already see the globe being set. The stage is being set up for something that’s going to have monumental global impact. Come on.
01:25:18:08 – 01:25:27:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it was already predicted. God.
01:25:27:26 – 01:25:47:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The desires of a man. Can never be satisfied. You can get automobiles. You got some black folks got 16 cars.
01:25:47:23 – 01:26:08:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now, if you bought 16 in your lifetime, I’ll ride you before. But I mean, at one time. Really? And they all lined up. What? I’m going to try this one today, and I’m gonna ride that one. All right, you got it. But you know what? If if if we got down to it, just ask. Jesus. Is there anything else you want?
01:26:08:23 – 01:26:43:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Something will come out your mouth, right? You can’t satisfy yourself with material things. If we were completely material beings, there could be something like that. But because we’re spiritual, we always still feel empty inside. And I’m just watching people that have untold sums of money. We’re getting into trouble, right? Unhappy. Now what? You don’t have a right to be unhappy.
01:26:43:22 – 01:27:13:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You sit up here with billions of dollars, man. Don’t come around me talking about you. You got some problem. The you know, I’m so. And I’m. Bring them up because we scroll and look and we see it and, you know, everybody’s, if you followed this, if you were from another planet, you you wouldn’t see anybody that seems really happy now.
01:27:13:27 – 01:27:50:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Poverty. You’re not even supposed to be happy. The minister said I never wanted poverty for anyone. Right? But real currency, real currency is in our faith. That’s what real currency, you know. And since the word we live in a supposed to live in a capitalism. Capital is the root. The Latin root word right? And if you cut off any part of the human form hand, arm, that’s called amputation.
01:27:50:08 – 01:28:09:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if you cut the head off, that’s not called amputation, called decapitation. It’s coming from capital again, because your real wealth is in your mind. So if you get fed in your mind what you need there, you you going to come out a better person, right?
01:28:09:08 – 01:28:39:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Your wealth is in your thinking, right? And you can make you can make things happen. We we’ve been trained into what somebody from University of Penn had this free learn helplessness. And I said, man, if it’s learned helplessness, somebody is teaching you how to see yourself as helpless. Yeah, but the lesson says this man would come and destroy this civilization in a day, right?
01:28:39:18 – 01:29:08:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he would never be a victim of this civilization. Think of that. So when we talk like victims, all they they taken away our rights. That’s victim. So if God give you something, they can’t take you. I’m not saying they’re not trying to make trouble for you. Right. But I’m saying we need to be looking at a level that, takes us above.
01:29:08:03 – 01:29:31:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I love what the eagle does. And Isaiah says, and and he shall take on the wings of an eagle. This is the one bird. Don’t hang out with other folks, okay? Just, just just look at the eagle. How did it flies? Higher than every everyone the crows know at it. And they’re walking all around. He doesn’t even bother to fight them.
01:29:31:04 – 01:29:56:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he’s much larger. He could destroy a crow. They say the eagle just keeps going the other altitude. Pretty soon the crows, they just. They just run out of gas. So the righteous. When you take on the wings of an eagle, your thought pattern is so above. You ain’t got time to argue with somebody because you realize, damn if I argue with the fool.
01:29:56:09 – 01:30:22:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Anybody walking past these two fools arguing, all of you know I need to take a look. The eagle don’t even, All the birds are running. Did you see? The wind came? They say it’s 40 miles an hour and stuff. And the storm was coming. And you couldn’t find a pigeon out there. A sparrow and nothing. They was all gone.
01:30:22:07 – 01:30:54:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But eagles fly into the storm. And they. They use the fury of the storm to give them the force necessary to carry them, over the storm. Pretty soon, he’s way, over the storm, right? Oh, God. You know that. I mean, this creature is something. And, you know, the eagle has the the ability from high altitude to see a rabbit or rat that it wants.
01:30:54:22 – 01:31:23:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it can be other creatures around. The eagle is aware, but he don’t lose focus. What he’s after. So you when when you live like an eagle, I mean, you realize God’s called you out of the world. You ain’t trying to hang out with everybody. You. You know, the the Koran really gives you your company, Allah’s Messenger and the believers, you know?
01:31:23:02 – 01:31:51:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But you should know what you’re after, right? And if your people are lost, you don’t lose focus. You’re aware of everything that’s around you, friend and foe. And don’t say you don’t know why I love everybody. If you find some dirt and go plant you a tulip or a carrot or something, I guarantee you when it comes up out of the ground, something will come up that you didn’t plant with me.
01:31:51:21 – 01:32:05:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now, first, it wasn’t nothing there till you planted some. Now weeds start growing up with it. You didn’t plant weeds where they come from. The minister said. That’s the teach us everything. Got an enemy that’s.
01:32:05:24 – 01:32:06:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Real and that.
01:32:07:01 – 01:32:33:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The weed ain’t there to compliment what you planted. The weed is there to choke out the life of what you planted so it looks innocent, what you planted. But the thing you planted is that war because of the weeds. So when you get a revelation from God, man, we start coming up. You know, and all the weeds ain’t outside.
01:32:33:12 – 01:32:36:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
God. God weeds in the house.
01:32:36:22 – 01:32:37:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.
01:32:37:00 – 01:32:57:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Weeds try to go. You know, I heard some wisdom where the man said, don’t let the third voice get in your life. Adam and Eve was doing all right to the third voice came. Next thing she started talking about what he said, you know, so you bring in that. Don’t take other people’s stuff and bring in your house.
01:32:58:01 – 01:33:20:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Oh, man. So, I mean, these are points of wisdom to, to to live by because, you know, we got to struggle day in and day out. People not following, falling away because some big ugly thing happened to them. And then we tripping over little things we forgot we got wings like an eagle. You don’t have to put up with a lot of mess.
01:33:20:29 – 01:33:49:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You. You just fly right into the storm of all the mess and watch God carry you up above that. You know you the the eagle. If the eagle tried to fight the cobra, it could very well lose. Because the cobra get can raise up up as high as 18ft up and throw itself. But the eagle knows how to not fight it.
01:33:49:25 – 01:34:12:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He takes it into his talent. Takes it way up there where it lives. They say that’s the first thing happened to the snake. He ain’t got nothing to crawl on. Right, right, right. Because snake, he folks they got always got to lean on somebody, crawl on some space up there in the air so it loses stamina and orientation.
01:34:12:18 – 01:34:45:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See when you, when you living like, like the righteous man, even your conversation, you’re taking people to a level they don’t know how to live on that. Right. They don’t understand. But you understanding more and more each day because you have accepted revelation and you have accepted the Revelator. People don’t know why you’re with Farrakhan, but a day is coming where everybody is going to know that somebody has come to us with a perfect explanation of what the prophets have brought us in.
01:34:45:21 – 01:34:59:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Louis Farrakhan, thank you again for listening. I salaam alaikum.
01:34:59:15 – 01:35:26:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All praise is due to Allah. Thank you all for being out. I know people are still traveling. I hope, you know, if you saw some of your family, this past week, you know, that you all had a good time coming together. Everybody was trying to not talk about November the 5th.
01:35:27:00 – 01:35:56:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because people on different sides about Donald Trump. Ain’t that something? Just. You just look what can happen to people he can’t talk about? Don’t talk about religion and don’t talk about politics. Right? Right. The two things that impact our life more than anything. That’s what we should be talking about. But, you know, we have done it, but is there anyone that’s out for the first time?
01:35:56:15 – 01:36:22:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Never been with us before? Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for, We thank you so much. How many of you that have been out for your first time or second time or third feel that what you heard today was the truth and good for us as a people? Can I just see by show of hands.
01:36:22:18 – 01:37:03:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you again. The most important question I could ask the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has extended an invitation to Islam. And the invitation is not for you to join something, but to receive something. Accept what God has already created you. We’re here learning really about ourselves. And we’re learning that self-knowledge is the essence of all knowledge, because there’s nothing we can learn out here in the science of anything that’s not already in us as we are learning.
01:37:03:27 – 01:37:27:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But we invite you all to come and learn with us. We certainly want to make sure that his invitation is extended to all, no matter where we are throughout the country. So how many of you who feel that what you heard today is the truth and good for us as a people would be willing to take another step and come on in and learn something here.
01:37:27:24 – 01:37:51:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is your opportunity with your family. We have study groups on Friday night. We have meetings on Wednesday where we go deeper into the science of everything. But the beautiful, beautiful thing is, there’s no question that we can raise that can’t be answered. And even if we don’t have the answer here, we know where to go to get it right.
01:37:51:14 – 01:38:20:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So did you hear what I said? There’s no question. And you’re not going to get the age old answer. Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways. No, we talking about revealing mysteries now? And you deserve an answer. If you have questions about faith, about life, about God, about devil, about anything, as the little girl said in the church one day, how come everybody got a different God and got the same devil?
01:38:20:26 – 01:38:47:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You look like if you had a different God, you’d have a different devil is I, you know, from the mouth of babes Jesus comes some real wisdom. So. But, come on up. Shake my hand. I’m just. I’m a helper to Minister Louis Farrakhan. If you if you feel you want to learn more, and become more. Because if you become more, you’re not going to settle for less, you know?
01:38:47:20 – 01:39:07:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So a black man has come up here. Praise be to God. Thank you, black man. What’s your name? Marquis. Brother. Marquis. Now, you’ve been out with us before, right? Have you been? Yeah. So you ready to take a step and learn something, right? Yes. To try to be better man. Come on. I love that wrote Black Man to you, I love that.
01:39:08:00 – 01:39:35:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come on. Give Brother Marquese a big round of applause. Praise be to Allah. All right, all right. Now, male, female. You know, you you’re female, but you a fighter has already been proven right, sister. But soldier, a woman, but a warrior nevertheless. Right. So, you know, we we can’t go nowhere without the black woman. Don’t even try.
01:39:35:23 – 01:40:08:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. But we we want you to know, every Monday night, 730, we have, men’s meeting here. And every Saturday morning, you are welcome to come out to the women’s class at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings to, we’re right here in this building, so you’re always welcome to come. You know, we were talking. I was talking to someone at an event the other day, and they were just saying, man, we we we we going to.
01:40:08:25 – 01:40:42:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It was about, I don’t know, wall Street Journal has a big thing about food. And Robert Kennedy junior taking over the food Drug Administration. And they were talking about how many Americans are suffering because they’re eating ultra processed food sources, they’re not eating natural foods. And that and so we’re talking generations now of women. They got frozen chicken wings with the barbecue sauce already on them.
01:40:42:12 – 01:41:04:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Frozen. You just grab them out of the thing, put it in a microwave. So put it into, you know, and everything so you don’t get a some charcoal, a grill, go go to the butcher and get some pieces of chicken, wash it and put it in and put it on the grill. You it’s already frozen everything. And just so we’re eating these Holly, this.
01:41:04:04 – 01:41:34:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so Robert Kennedy junior he’s going after this stuff. Get rid of all this because he said America is unhealthy that obesity is here. You know we’ve got he named all the different things we’re getting, but strokes are increasing and everything and he said is not happening from diseases is happening from foods that were eating every young woman we have here.
01:41:34:21 – 01:41:58:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Sister Commissioner, can you stand a minute? That’s our sister over the class of our women here. That’s sister. Make sure everybody know and see here the women got a different take on. The kitchen is no longer the kitchen, right? It’s the clinic, right? Not the kitchen cabinet is the medicine cabinet. Because how to eat, to live is really dealing.
01:41:58:28 – 01:42:33:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Medicine is already in food. I mean, where do they make a pill from? They, they somewhere in the earth doing something. But, eating better foods, we can preserve this life. And it may have a lot to do with, with the increase in violence that’s in our homes, that’s in our communities on the street, it may have a lot to do with our impacting our ability to learn and see.
01:42:33:26 – 01:43:03:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This man has a the level of deception is so great. He can he can teach you in school. You and make you think you’ve already been educated. But see, you’re never really educated to. You can question what you’ve been educated on. There you go. Will Abraham question God? You, Abraham? God told him, I’m going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
01:43:03:27 – 01:43:26:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, I got my nephew down there. Come over. If they’re not 50, righteous, will not the Lord be? Just look at how he’s questioning his God. Now you said you have just God. You love people. You ain’t trying to kill everybody here. Okay, there’s 50, but he got down to, well, what about 30? What about and finally he said, show me one that’s righteous.
01:43:26:17 – 01:43:53:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See you. Everybody was. God was letting them know I’m justified in dealing with these people. But all of the servants of God questioned God. We don’t even question our educators on what we’ve been educated on that show you. You ain’t really been taught well. The teacher, we have an honorable Louis Farrakhan. He gets on us if we don’t bring questions to him.
01:43:53:10 – 01:44:24:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’ve been sitting at many dinners. I’m trying to be respectful and quiet. I’m scared to say anything. But a Rodney. Yeah. So yes, here come a question. How to believers. Everybody’s fine. You know. See if I got any other spiritual questions. So every time, every now and then I ask something. So I said well, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said everything he’s teaching us, he learned from this man.
01:44:24:08 – 01:44:54:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right, mom? If he said he learned it from him and he Elijah is not the origin of it. Why is it called the life giving teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad? Why do you call life giving teachings of Pharaoh Muhammad? He said, yeah, that’s a good question, he said. But see, that man was the first scientist. The messenger said, and said he spoke in cryptic language and formula.
01:44:54:20 – 01:45:20:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you take the supreme wisdom and read it from cover to cover. The problem book and the lessons and everything. And it’s cryptic, right? So that’s right, he said. But Elijah Muhammad went into the formula and pulled out a body of knowledge. So he’s credited with the teaching is that you can follow. But I wouldn’t have learned that had I not asked that question.
01:45:20:03 – 01:45:48:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, I mean, I just haven’t found a question we could ask, especially as it relates to the thing of God. And a woman asked him, said, why is there so much violence in our community and how do we end it? And he said, unfortunately, it’s going to continue and it’s going to grow into a greater violence. It’s going to engulf the earth.
01:45:48:17 – 01:46:14:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, we’re looking at the beginning of the fall of this civilization, and it won’t just be here. It the messenger said it’ll be universal. So, there’s not going to be an end to it. It’s going to be an end to this world of violence. And that’s in the Scripture, you know? But I just don’t know anything we could ask.
01:46:14:09 – 01:46:40:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So get to do. We had a 2.0 books here, but people from all over asking all kind of questions, but they’re getting the answers, from him. And we should have questions upon questions, because every time you see the lessons, it asks the question. And then there’s an answer. So that’s the staircase. How to get into the mind of God.
01:46:40:16 – 01:47:01:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Question answer, question answer. And the more you get answers to questions, the higher up the staircase you’re going. You follow. I mean, that’s great. God wants us to be like him. So that’s you, brother Joseph said it. You are all gods. But you just. You just children. We’re just children of the Most High God. That’s right. And then we.
01:47:01:13 – 01:47:25:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s nothing wrong with a child. Want to be like their daddy, I think that’s a good trait. That’s a good thing. So, come on out and be with us. Hang out. Even if you haven’t, joined up to be a registered Muslim yet. And, you know, we’re all Muslims. When properly understood, we are righteous.
01:47:25:03 – 01:47:50:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When properly understood, we’re just registered ourselves. You know, we told God, I’m ready to take a step for. And we going on record and then we’ll show you some other things how to divorce from this world. I know some say just take it, Shehata. But we do a letter. The minister said no, we can’t do justice. Shehata. Today he said there must be a writ of divorce, right?
01:47:50:12 – 01:48:12:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t just go around talking about where we broke up. If you all came together on a piece of paper, you need a writ of. Is that right? Of divorce? So I signed a writ of divorce a few years ago. Said I’m divorcing myself from this rulership. I’m not going to let him be my sole teacher or anything, you know?
01:48:12:05 – 01:48:39:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So may God help us. You know, this year’s almost out there, and you know what’s going to happen on the 31st. You’re going to find out your strengths and your weaknesses. Most people are going to make a command and get himself a command. Starting January 1st, I will start doing this right. And by January 31st, most of us then went back to the default mode, right.
01:48:39:13 – 01:48:56:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What did what that’s proven is you can’t even give yourself a command and obey it, but you want somebody else to obey your command. Wow. Yeah. So I turn it over to Brother Joseph.
01:48:56:19 – 01:49:14:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, praise is due to Allah. Let’s give him another round of applause. Delaware Valley State and Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad, dear family, he has already done the acceptance. And, we thank you, brother, for coming up. And, we wanted to take the next step, the next order of business. We will do our public, collection,

Unknown
You know our charity will not let it go. Let it rain, let it pop.
01:49:23:08 – 01:49:37:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Praise be to Allah. I did it that way. Because sometimes I know you. You slap your hands together on every applause. You feel like man is in the is going to. Come on, brother, till we get to the end of this. So I figured let’s just do it this way, let’s just do it at the end and then we can get it in that one good time.
01:49:37:20 – 01:49:55:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And we’ve achieved what we wanted to achieve. But let me not be remiss in my duty and thanking all of you, whether you had a financial, donation to give today in our charity collection. Thank you for giving of yourselves, of your time, the first act of charity that you gave today to come and hear the life giving teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
01:49:55:22 – 01:50:18:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So. And that you all once again, a round of applause. You draw a lot for your giving of your time. So do your family as we move on. As promised, we have the receptacles of being passed and leaving the floor. We have a couple of announcements. Brother Rodney just talked about the educational system. Please support the eac lc academically.
01:50:18:06 – 01:50:42:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s the education is the key to learning. And, m UI Muhammad’s University of Islam affiliate offering a virtual learning experience for the 2024 2025 school year. Please see Sister Kimberly and Sister Yvonne for more details. I don’t see Sister Yvonne, but I do see Sister Kimberly. She’s sitting in the back. Sister Kimberly, if you would just be so kind as to throw your hand up for those who don’t know who you are, praise be to a lot.
01:50:42:06 – 01:51:03:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s Sister Kimberly. She’s going one of the founders, the EC, Elsie. And you know, we are. And honorable Louis Farrakhan teaches us it towards life for America. That if a man will teach you right, treats you right, he’s not going to teach you right. So let’s come where people are going to treat us, right? And teachers right, especially with our youth, children, which is our future.
01:51:03:21 – 01:51:28:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Y’all all right? Mutual. And secondly, and as it pertains to our youth and those that are in school, we want to celebrate the accomplishment of our youth. If you have any updates or information about the prosperity of our youth, please apply that information to our Secretary department. That is, young brothers and sisters who are in school and who are doing well with what they have to work with.
01:51:28:29 – 01:51:48:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We want to be able to let you know, show some love to them by acknowledging them from this, from the rostrum and giving them our show of love toward them for doing the hard work that they’re doing. And the world is already stacked against y’all. All right, praise be to Allah. And last but not least, I don’t have to read that a lot of lines are going through it.
01:51:48:19 – 01:51:59:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So I guess that concludes our announcements for the day. Dear family, for all hearts and minds at ease. Did you learn anything? Yes. Praise be to all that and let us close with prayer.
01:51:59:20 – 01:52:01:24
Speaker 2
For
01:52:01:27 – 01:52:20:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
In the manner in which you are most comfortable. Follow along silently. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Most merciful, the one God to whom all praise is due, the Lord of the worlds, the beneficent, the Most Merciful, master of the Day of Judgment in which we now live. The alone do we serve, and do the alone.
01:52:20:14 – 01:52:39:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Do we beseech for aid? Oh Allah, guide us on the straight path. The path of those upon whom thou has bestowed favors, and not the path of those upon whom thy wrath is brought down, nor those who go astray. After hearing that teaching say he lies one Allah, as he upon whom we all depend, he need to be yet nor see begotten.
01:52:39:23 – 01:52:57:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And there’s none like him. I bear witness that none deserves to be served to worship besides Allah, who appeared to us in the first initiate, Master Muhammad. We’re eternally grateful to him for given to us his wise choice in the messenger Messiah and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And to the two of them we thank the both of them.
01:52:57:27 – 01:53:14:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
If we lived a thousand years, we can never thank them enough for the guide, the discrimination that is in our midst today, and the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. It is in their names, we pray. I mean you, your family. The meeting is dismissed. And remember these words we go in peace, but we are never to be the aggressor.
01:53:14:18 – 01:53:19:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But if aggressor upon we fight with those who fight with us only.
