Summary and Study Guide: Student in the Ministry Joseph
Muhammad Lecture
This guide summarizes the lecture given by Student in the
Ministry Joseph Muhammad, featuring presentations by Student Ministers Linda
Muhammad and Ameen Muhammad, and culminating in a powerful message delivered by
Delaware Valley Student Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad. The guide highlights
key concepts, provides discussion points, and concludes with a short quiz to
test comprehension.
Theme: The immeasurable value of the Honorable
Minister Louis Farrakhan and his message, particularly in light of his role as
a divinely appointed guide and helper sent by Allah to uplift Black people.
Key Concepts:
●
Divine Selection: The speakers emphasize Farrakhan’s
divine selection by Allah, drawing parallels to biblical figures like Moses and
Aaron. Just as Moses sought a helper in Aaron, Elijah Muhammad prayed for a
helper and, a year later, Farrakhan joined the Nation of Islam.123
●
Truth and Fear: Farrakhan’s message, rooted in truth
and light, instills fear in those who oppose it. His words carry power because
they expose falsehood and reveal a path towards liberation.45
●
Reappraisal and Self-Reliance: The teachings urge
Black people to reassess their self-perception, rejecting the devalued image
imposed by white supremacy and embracing their inherent worth as descendants of
God. This reappraisal necessitates self-reliance and independent action, moving
away from dependence on the system that perpetuates their oppression.678
●
The Wake-Up Message and the New Teachings: The
Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teachings are presented as a “wake-up message,”
intended to awaken Black people from the slumber of mental subjugation. Upon
his return, he will reveal “new teachings” through Minister Farrakhan. This
emphasizes the ongoing, evolutionary nature of the message and the importance
of remaining receptive to deeper truths.9101112
●
Magnetism and Transformation: The transformative
power of the message is likened to magnetism. Just as a magnetized object
attracts others, individuals who internalize and embody the teachings become
beacons of light, drawing others towards truth and righteousness.131415
Discussion Points:
●
The Role of Women: How do the roles assigned to women
in the Nation of Islam, as exemplified by the separate orientation classes and
the limited speaking roles during the service, align with or challenge
contemporary views on gender equality?1617
●
The Importance of Language: Minister Rodney Muhammad
emphasizes that Elijah Muhammad chose to deliver his message in English, making
it accessible to those he aimed to uplift. How does language impact the
accessibility and effectiveness of a message, particularly in the context of
religious teachings?1819
●
The Nature of Spiritual Tests: The speakers stress
that the absence of a leader is a test of faith and understanding. How can
individuals navigate periods of spiritual uncertainty and maintain their
commitment to a message in the absence of a visible guide?202122

Grace and permission, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan can arrange our thoughts to fall in line and rotate and revolve around just the mission of Almighty God, our Lord’s name. Isn’t that a beautiful thing? All praises due to Allah.
00:04:40:23 – 00:04:57:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Dear family, I’m getting happy up here. I don’t want to start shouting and all that kind of stuff. I know we ain’t in the church. I almost feel like I want to hit a spiritual just now just thinking about those three. Oh, praise belongs to Allah, but we’re not going to do that because we believe that truth is enough to achieve what it is that we’re trying to do today.
00:04:57:25 – 00:05:15:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But let me be first and not be remiss in my duty in saying thank you for being here at Muhammad’s Mosque number 12. This is the best place that you could be today. Why is that? Because it’s the safest place you could be today. What? Yes, it is. And on the heels of that as a backdrop, this is the safest place.
00:05:15:13 – 00:05:36:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Thank you all for submitting to the check procedure. But was very necessary today because as the Jesus of 2000 years ago, it was teaching his disciples that we live in diverse times. Let no man deceive you. So we check everything at the door. Everybody that we see in here right now got checked. Male or female? Younger. Oh, so the playing field is level.
00:05:37:01 – 00:05:57:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So. Because why do we do it? Because sometime when the weight of truth comes across the restroom, if our minds are a little unstable, it can cause us to respond to truth, you know, in a carnal way. And we don’t want to hurt any of our people, nor do we want them to hurt us. So again, we level the playing field so everyone is safe in the house of date.
00:05:57:16 – 00:06:20:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And thank you again for submitting to the check procedure. On the heels of that, dear family, I got to bring up the number one two for the number one program of the Nation of Islam. The number one tool is the final call newspaper. I say it again. The Final Call newspaper. The greatest paper on the planet. All 196,940,000 square mile.
00:06:20:05 – 00:06:34:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
This is the paper. And if you don’t believe me, get one before you leave today and take it home and take it. Pass it apart. Share it with the family. Treat it like it’s a good meal, like you want to share it. Well, look how good this is. I cooked this. No, you didn’t cook this one. But it’s about you and me.
00:06:34:27 – 00:06:58:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It has local, national and international news in it. And the thing about it, the beauty of all that, all of that is that is unadulterated truth. And why is it unadulterated truth? Because we if you notice, there are no sponsors in here. There are no ads, which means that the Honorable Louis Farrakhan is allowed. He’s free to put the truth in here and don’t have to worry about somebody.
00:06:58:08 – 00:07:18:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, if you don’t, you got to take that out your paper. If you don’t, we’re going to pull our ads. You can’t do that because you’re not in here. This is the truth. It’s for us. By us. Y’all all right? We the original Fubu. Come on now. Long before Def Jam, who added Russell Simmons or whoever came up with that concept said anything about for us by us.
00:07:19:01 – 00:07:42:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was already doing it, and the Honorable Louis Farrakhan is furthering it. And all we have to do is to continue to hear those life giving teachings. And we too will have that concept and we will put ourselves in heaven at once. Y’all. Art. Praise be to Allah. I don’t have, anything. You know, you’re generally after I go do that, say that I have some words to impart to you.
00:07:42:18 – 00:08:04:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, it’s not really a day off, but Dead Void is going to be filled with some wonderful day. And we come in from both sides of the room. We have, sisters going to come and bring something to us, and then we’re going to have from the brother side, want to come and bring us some of the truth and the life giving teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
00:08:04:28 – 00:08:22:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And one of the things that I have learned in my very short tenure of a little bit of this, what you call public speaking, is that whenever you get ready to bring somebody else on, you try to find out something about them, you know, and you want to, you know, bring out those fine qualities in them. You know, without, you know, making anything up.
00:08:22:24 – 00:08:42:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, I first presented I just want to say that one of the most refined things about our sister is that no matter when you see her, how many y’all remember? We used to have that two feet tall green. You know, it’s about that smile whenever you see her. I don’t care where it is. What’s going on? There could be a tornado.
00:08:42:28 – 00:09:10:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
She throw that smile out there. Salaam alaikum. And she humbly bows to you. That is such a beautiful, beautiful character. And anybody. But every time I’ve seen my sister since I first met her in the mosque, that’s all I’ve ever seen from. She is what I would call a true Muslim. All praises due to Allah. So I would like for you brothers and sisters to open up your hearts, open up your minds and let’s hear some words from the two of us, them as it give it to her.
00:09:10:07 – 00:09:20:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
By Allah, of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and presented to us by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, sister student in the Ministry, Sister Linda Muhammad. Let’s bring on.
00:09:20:23 – 00:09:28:26
Unknown
With a lovely round of applause. So I’m looking.
00:09:28:28 – 00:10:08:04
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Assalamualaikum. I had to look around to see who Brother Joseph was talking about. But all praises due to Allah. All praises due to a lie in the name of alive, the beneficent, the merciful, I bear witness. There is but one God who appear to us in the person of master Pharaoh Muhammad, to whom all holy praises forever do the one who came 9000 miles by himself to seek and to save we who were lost here in the hills of North America.
00:10:08:06 – 00:10:39:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
I also bear witness the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the one that we know to have been taught face to face by the God Master Farad Muhammad, the one who is the eternal leader of the Nation of Islam. He is the Moses of the Scripture that we read about. He has been exalted to that place which allow promised him.
00:10:39:25 – 00:11:13:29
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
And we know, verily, a lie never breaks his promise. We may go back, we may fall to on a promise that we may what we do know, and what we can take to the bank and trust him. Believing is that the God does not break his promise. All praises due to a lie. All praises due to Allah. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad has been made all up until the God he is now God.
00:11:14:01 – 00:11:50:07
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
And lastly, I bear witness the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is Allah’s divine reminder, Divine one. He is so much more, so much more. He is alive. Grace and mercy to us. He is the element fashioned as a helper and a compliment to Moses, the Jesus now Messiah in our midst. I greet all of my dear brothers and sisters in the greeting words of peace.
00:11:50:09 – 00:11:52:04
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
I salama aleikum.
00:11:52:11 – 00:11:53:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You survive.
00:11:53:18 – 00:11:55:21
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
And happy Savior’s.
00:11:55:21 – 00:11:56:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Day.
00:11:56:29 – 00:12:31:02
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
The honor the minister of Excuse me. Let me take my tell me. Calmed our Savior’s day. Right, brother. Student Minister Ishmael, let us know. Every day is Savior’s day. Because a Savior wasn’t. Is is not that the Savior is to come? Our Savior has arrived. Our Savior is here. So every day is a day to give thanks, praise, honor and glory that a Savior came to save you and I.
00:12:31:06 – 00:12:32:22
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
He didn’t have to do it.
00:12:32:24 – 00:12:33:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
00:12:33:11 – 00:13:08:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
So every day, every day, Savior’s day. Praise be to ally. Before we get started, because we like to thank and give honor and give individuals flowers why they live. So I like to thank the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, because I know well, mount this rostrum in and of myself were that for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. So I am grateful and thankful to the Minister.
00:13:08:22 – 00:13:37:05
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
I like to also thank our student Regional Minister, Brother Rodney Muhammad, for this opportunity, which I do not take lightly to come before the people of God. It’s an unbelievable experience, unveiling experi I don’t get used to it. I don’t get comfortable and come up with the attitude or mindset of oh, I got this. I don’t have to worry about it.
00:13:37:07 – 00:14:14:09
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
I pray and ask to God to please guide my words, my thoughts and my actions that what I do and say would be pleasing in his eyesight. So all praises due to lie. I thank our student Regional Minister for allowing me the opportunity to be before you this morning. And lastly, I’d like to thank my husband. I thank him so much for his continued encourage ment and his support of your, sister.
00:14:14:12 – 00:14:50:05
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
He’ll tell me, you know you can do it. Take your time. It’s all right. Call on that. God. So I’m grateful and thankful to allow for blessing me with the may that he has blessed me with. Praise be to Allah. All praises due to a live. All praises due to a lot this morning. Family. Briefly we like to share on the subject the value of the message of Farrakhan, the value of the message of Farrakhan.
00:14:50:05 – 00:15:22:16
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
And now, before we get into it, amongst the other written publications that you may have, if you don’t have these two books defending Farrakhan one and two, you are doing yourself a disservice. Family. You don’t have to. Not in instruction, not trying to do anything other than share what has been, what I’ve been blessed and we have been blessed to have shared with us defending Farrakhan.
00:15:22:18 – 00:15:54:17
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
These books contain articles which have been compiled by the Nation of Islam research Group. So again, get those. Add these two books to your library family. Please, please, all praises due to a lie. Now let’s get into it. To see value in the message, we must first see value in the one who brings the message. Because the message doesn’t come by itself, will come out of a vacuum.
00:15:54:20 – 00:16:33:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Someone brings the message. So we have to see value in the one who brings the message. So we like to take a moment to clear some words, value and message. First value, which is both a noun and a verb. Now, some definitions for value when it’s being utilized as a noun is to determine or estimate the worth or value of a praise, to regard highly esteem.
00:16:33:23 – 00:17:20:16
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Keep that in mind as we move through our sharing. This morning, some definitions for the word value when being utilized as a verb. Respect. Admire. Cherish. Think much of. Hold dear. Have a high opinion of the other word that we like to take a look at is message. Some definitions for message a communication sent by mail, email, messenger, telephone, etcetera and official communication.
00:17:20:18 – 00:18:01:03
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
This is the definition that stood out to me. A prophetic pronounced meant prophetic pronouncement. Now that word prophetic, I found interesting in that using that word prophetic when referring to a message, prophetic means accurately describing or predict dictating what will happen in the future. Going to say that again? Prophetic pronouncement accurately describing or predicting what will happen in the future.
00:18:01:06 – 00:18:42:26
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Now, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has shared with us on multiple occasions of his September 1985 more than a vision like experience. Do we recall that the minister sharing that with us, where he was transported to the will? The minister said the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, told him was said to him. Reagan had met with his joint Chiefs of Staff to plan a war, and the minister was told to hold a press conference and make it known that you got this from me.
00:18:42:28 – 00:19:22:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad on the will. Now we know the rest is history. Now. This was back in September of 1985. So could the Minister’s experience be considered a prophetic pronouncement? I’ll leave that to you to answer, to ponder on, to think about keeping in mind again prophetic is the definition, excuse me, that we gave for prophetic is something for describing something accurately or predicting what will happen in the future.
00:19:22:26 – 00:20:05:04
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
So all praises due to a lie for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan had more than a vision experience from 1985 to more. Now, we’re still looking at seeing value in the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and tying that to seeing value in his message. You can’t separate the two like we have some individuals that want to pay homage and exalt Malcolm X, but then they don’t want to connect him or tie him to the source that helped him to be exalted, to helped him, to sit down scholars, to confuse scholars.
00:20:05:04 – 00:20:39:23
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We can’t separate the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad from Malcolm X, so we can’t separate the value of the Minister’s message from the Minister. Now we like to share some words. Beloved family from our dear brother Jibril. Muhammad may allow forever, forever. Be pleased with our dear brother Jabril Muhammad, a companion, a half a god to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:20:39:23 – 00:21:21:29
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We thank align pray that allies well pleased with Brother Jabril. Now, in a talk, the brother that student Minister Jibril delivered titled What is Farrakhan’s value? What is four times value? Brother Jibril said. And he’s referring to the minister. Essentially, he’s a mighty instrument in the hands of God, but mainly Elijah Muhammad, to save the lives of a bunch of people by the millions and resurrect them.
00:21:22:01 – 00:22:10:07
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
He’s a resurrection tool. He’s a resurrecting instrument. He’s carried out the rest. Or the first phase of the mission of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He has two phases to his mission. The minister is finishing off that first. Phase one is. Stop right there. for a moment, Brother Jabril referred to the minister that he’s a resurrecting instrument. That was interesting to me, that he used the word instrument to refer to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:22:10:10 – 00:22:42:03
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
The minister has also shared with us that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to him, if I could use any Enstrom meant to represent my word, it would be what? The trumpet? The trumpet. Now anyone that is being served in the armed forces, we have any individuals who served in the armed forces. We know the trumpet. When that referee sounded right, what was that an indication of?
00:22:42:08 – 00:23:15:10
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
It’s time to wake up. Wake up? How about we’ve been taught that the message of the honorable minister. Excuse me? The message of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad is. What a wake up message. Do we see the correlation between the minister being a resurrecting instrument? The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the instrument that he would use for his wake up message is a trumpet.
00:23:15:12 – 00:23:47:12
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
There is no confusion in when it comes to the teachings of Almighty God. Allow his Word, the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. We find confusion. we find congruency. Allah is not the author of confusion. We may, you know, be confused about some things, but trust him. Believe a lie is not the author of confusion. So all praise is due to Allah.
00:23:47:15 – 00:24:27:05
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
All praise belongs to Allah. Now, Brother Jabril, continuing on in his talk, he posed this question what’s the key in the minister’s value? Brother Jabril answered by saying he’s pliant in the hands of God. He’s pliant in the hands of God, but he’s not pliant in the hands of disbelievers and hypocrites and devils. Now again, Brother Jabril, question what’s the key in the minister’s value?
00:24:27:11 – 00:25:00:26
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
In other words, what’s the determining factor in the minister’s value? What is it about being pliant in the hands of God? What is it about? Submit in our will to do allies will being submissive and obedient to his will and his way, being pliant. We can’t be pliant, beloved family in the hands of a lie by being stiff necked, hard hearted.
00:25:00:28 – 00:25:02:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Rebel soldiers.
00:25:02:25 – 00:25:32:25
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Can’t nobody tell us anything. We know everything. We can’t be playing in the hands of Allah by being vain, being haughty, being arrogant, having that spirit of a Iblis, thinking that we’re better. We’re better because we may have a job, we may have a nice car, a nice home, and our brother and sister. They may be experienced some experience, seeing some challenges.
00:25:32:25 – 00:25:34:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We think we are better.
00:25:34:22 – 00:25:35:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on now.
00:25:35:18 – 00:25:40:23
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Come on. We’re not for the grace and mercy of a lie. There. Go.
00:25:40:25 – 00:25:41:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right, right, right.
00:25:42:02 – 00:26:07:06
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
So we always have to be. Let’s strive to be umble. Let’s strive to be playing in the hands of Almighty God of life. I know I’m striving. I want a lot of use me. Please use me a lie. All praise belongs to a lie. All praises due to a lie. Yes, yes yes, yes. Brother Djibril also posed another question.
00:26:07:08 – 00:26:17:16
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Have you seen anybody? Make him? And he’s still referring to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Bow down and straight.
00:26:17:18 – 00:26:20:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Hmhm never.
00:26:20:16 – 00:26:51:10
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Yeah, we would have to come back to that because we would be thinking and thinking and thinking one man and then thinking some more. What makes him like that? He’s a model. What makes him not willing to bow to the wicked, but he bow to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and it expresses fear and fright of him and the God.
00:26:51:15 – 00:26:52:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
00:26:52:12 – 00:27:14:01
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Going to stop there, with brother student Minister Jibril is was just those few words shared with us, family a lot on the value of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Now, what makes the minister’s message strike fear in some folks?
00:27:15:27 – 00:27:56:16
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Very good question. Very good question. He’s not running around with no AK 47. No, none of that, none of that. Just a word coming from his mouth and not just a word. The minister’s message is contained. Light, life and power. When we go to the Holy. Caught on in sword 21 for chapter 21, verse 18, we read this Mandara he name, we hurled truth against falsehood.
00:27:56:18 – 00:28:28:08
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
So it knocks out its reigns and lo, it vanishes. And woe to you for what you disgrace! Why we know and we read. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Is it perhaps the truth coming from the mouth of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, that strikes fear and terror in the hearts of those who do opposite of the truth?
00:28:28:11 – 00:29:12:10
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We now we have countless messages. Family from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan via video and written publication. We’re just going to take a brief moment to reflect on some of the titles of just the last four Savior’s Day messages from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. We have countless and countless and countless messages from our Minister, those these last four Savior’s Day messages which contain warning, wisdom, instruction and guidance not only to us but to the whole of humanity.
00:29:12:13 – 00:29:48:10
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
On going back to February 2020, the unraveling of a great nation. Now, shortly after that February 2020 Saviors Day address, we know we were in the throes of a pestilence from on high. So teaching a so teaches the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. So he gave us the criterion on July 4th, 2020. Come we follow that February 2021 Saviors Day.
00:29:48:13 – 00:30:00:11
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
How strong is the Foundation? Can we survive? Followed by in 2022, the swansong.
00:30:00:14 – 00:30:00:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Of.
00:30:01:00 – 00:30:40:29
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
2023? The War of Armageddon has begun. And then this past Saviors Day. Lord have mercy. What does the great Mahdi and the great Messiah have to say about the war in the Middle East? Just reflect on those titles from just the last four Savior’s Day addresses and the criterion family and ordinary vessel can house these powerful messages, not an ordinary vessel.
00:30:41:02 – 00:31:15:18
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
The Minister had shared with us that there would be how many backing him up, two backing him up, and we know those two to be master for us, Muhammad, and the most honorable Elijah Muhammad. All praise is due to Allah. Talk about having back up. All praise is due to allow the Mahdi and the exalted Christ. Can we say without a shadow of a doubt, that they back us up?
00:31:15:22 – 00:31:16:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
00:31:16:11 – 00:31:37:21
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Oh a lie, all praises due to a lie. You know, I was thinking about or thinking back to perhaps our younger years, and have any one of us ever had to call for backup. You know, we may have gotten into a little situation at school and you had to call for backup. You want a phone call in the family, right?
00:31:37:21 – 00:31:55:25
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Oh, I can’t wait. The 3:00 is going to be on. Oh, I’m gonna see you in the schoolyard at 3:00. 3:00. Roll around. You know, so all these wolf tickets, you all out in the schoolyard thinking, thinking. You got backup and you turn around. Crickets.
00:31:55:27 – 00:31:57:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? No backup.
00:31:57:21 – 00:32:28:09
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
And guess who doesn’t have to worry about turning around and not having become the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan? A lie never breaks his promise. The minister, he doesn’t have to worry about not having backup. All praises due to a lie. Additionally, thank you sir. The Minister he shared with us that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad sat him in his seat over the house.
00:32:28:12 – 00:33:04:22
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Is that correct? And the minister said he was told by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, don’t change the teachings while I’m gone right now. Does that come aside with anything that we may have read in Scripture? Him in chapter seven, verse 142 of the Holy Court, I dismiss LaHood. Old man had a he, and we appointed for Moses 30 nights and completed them with ten.
00:33:04:25 – 00:33:39:05
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
So we appointed. Excuse me. So the appointed time of his Lord was complete. 40 nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, take my place among my people, and act well. And follow not the way of the mischief makers. Does that sound familiar with what the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan when he set him in his seat right?
00:33:39:07 – 00:34:10:21
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
All praises due to Allah. Just want to take a quick poll. Has anyone ever heard, either from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan or one of his representatives, the instructions, in reference to the minister by way of when you see him, look at him when you hear him, listen to him where he says, go, go and where he says, stay from, stay from.
00:34:10:24 – 00:34:40:25
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Come on. We’ve heard that. Okay. I, I didn’t think I was by myself with hearing that. All praises due to a lie. Now, all times when someone says look at someone or something, what comes to mind? Perhaps looking with the physical eye, however we may have to ask ourselves, is our vision blurry? Are we looking with a veil over our eyes?
00:34:40:27 – 00:35:06:05
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Do we need to make an appointment with the master optometrist so we can see the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan with the life coloring and not with our sick, twisted judgment? Oh well, who does he think he is? I can talk better than him. Well, I can do that. I can leave people better than him. No, we need to see the minister with the last coloring.
00:35:06:08 – 00:35:13:00
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We may need to go ahead and visit that master optometry. Louis, maybe get our prescription changed or something.
00:35:13:00 – 00:35:14:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.
00:35:14:18 – 00:35:42:25
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
What about that instruction? When we hear the minister listen to him? Hearing and listening aren’t quite the same family. Hearing can mean that we are perceiving sound by the ear. Listening can mean not only did we hear, but we are taking heed to and paying attention to what we heard because we can take in something through the ear.
00:35:42:25 – 00:35:49:27
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
But if we’re not consciously and cognitively paying attention to it, we may miss something.
00:35:50:00 – 00:35:51:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Okay. Go ahead.
00:35:51:08 – 00:35:58:19
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
I think it was, there’s a very busy commercial where the the guy in the commercial. Can you hear me? Now.
00:35:58:21 – 00:35:59:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
00:35:59:04 – 00:36:37:09
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Can you hear me now? Right. Sometimes we may have to change our location family to get better reception. Now, if we’re not receiving the messages of the minister, clearly without interference or static, we may have to change our location, so to speak, right? Maybe our attitude of receptivity needs to be adjusted. We’re not hearing and listening to the messages of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in the Holy Koran.
00:36:37:09 – 00:37:12:18
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
In chapter 23, verse 14, we’ve read this millennial man, Raheem. Then we make the life germ a clot. Then we make the clot a lump of flesh. Then we made in the lump of flesh bones. Then we close the bones with flesh. Then we cause it to grow into another creation. So blessed be Allah, the best of creators.
00:37:12:20 – 00:37:49:04
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We also read about moving stage after stage until we reach eventual our eventual perfection. So the stage where we may be in our growth and development may have us not hearing and seeing the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in his proper context, where we can close the gap and maximize our potential on the way to becoming a God. All praise belongs to a lie we don’t have to worry about.
00:37:49:04 – 00:38:19:12
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
We can. We don’t have to get discouraged family if we are not at that stage in our growth and development where we may not see the minister properly. Keep praying, keep studying, keep reading, keep listening and hearing the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and ask the Lord to bless you with the light of understanding. He’ll do it because we’ve already said, verily, a lie never breaks his promise.
00:38:19:15 – 00:39:03:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
So all praise is due to a lie. Lies the best. No way. He knows best what we need when we need it right? Right now we lie to family as we close out with two verses from the Holy Quarter. first, verse that we like to lift is taken from chapter six, verse 124. This may last minute our heat, and when a message comes to them, they say, we will not believe till we are given the light of that which, alas, messengers are given each.
00:39:03:23 – 00:39:38:18
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
listen to this a lot. Best knows where to place his message. Real tough humiliation from a Allah and severe chastisement will surely befall the guilty for their planning. Now there’s a footnote associated with that. Verse 124. And if you don’t mind, I’d like to read that footnote. That footnote is, 124 a is that footnote and that footnote reads, I need some help here.
00:39:38:21 – 00:39:39:27
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Let me put it on.
00:39:39:29 – 00:39:40:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
00:39:40:16 – 00:40:19:11
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
That’s not going to be my act like I you know, I can’t see the small writing writing. Rather, the footnote reads, if Allah really meant to reveal his message, the disbelievers said, why was it not revealed directly to every one of them? The answer is that everyone is not fit to communicate with the divine being. And Allah revealed his message only to a man who was fit to receive it.
00:40:19:14 – 00:40:20:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.
00:40:20:24 – 00:40:49:20
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Did we hear what we said about the message? Who along revealed it to everyone is not fit to receive it? So how fit is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan? All praise belongs to a life, family. All praises due to a lie? Yes, all praises due to a lie. For the example that we have in front of us being fit to receive the messages of the Honorable Minister Louis.
00:40:49:22 – 00:41:30:21
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Excuse me, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Almighty God, Allah. The other verse that we like to lift is from chapter 24, the Light Al Noor chapter of verse 54. So that’s chapter 24, verse 54. We’ve read this little man who wrote, he say, Obey Allah and obey the messenger. But if you turn away, he is responsible for the duty imposed on him, and you are responsible for the duty imposed on you.
00:41:30:24 – 00:41:57:04
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
And if you obey him, you go off right. And the messengers duty is only to deliver the message plainly. What’s the messengers duty to deliver the message plainly, not to figure out, oh my God, where my how am I going to pay my bill? Oh my God, I need a new car. How am I going to get it?
00:41:57:07 – 00:42:27:27
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
I want to get a new outfit, a new pair of shoes. That’s not the messengers. That’s not his job. That’s not his duty. Deliver the message plainly. And family. I don’t know about you. However, I bear witness to and confess that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has delivered and is delivering the message plainly, all praise is due to a lie.
00:42:28:00 – 00:43:04:16
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
All praises due to a lie. So, fam, may we see value in both. The one that’s delivering the message. Who is allies? Grace and mercy to us, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And may we also see value in the message that in and of itself, may we receive the message. Be obedient to the message, act in accordance with the message and the time and what must be done.
00:43:04:18 – 00:43:34:07
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Family. I have been honored and humbled to come before you. May Allah continue to bless and guide us with the light of his understanding. I leave you as I came before you in the greeting words of peace I. Salaam alaikum, please help me to receive. Back to the restroom, Brother Joseph. Oh, praise.
00:43:34:10 – 00:43:56:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, we can do better than that. Come on, give us some more. Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah! Did not. Did not I say to you the smile first and the words from her mind coming from we believe Allah to give to us. Didn’t let just light up the room. All praises do like they thank. Our sister was against a student in the ministry, Sister Linda Muhammad.
00:43:56:26 – 00:44:13:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Your round record. Praise be to Allah. And you know this is the beauty of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. You know, there was a time in the church where you couldn’t get a woman to come up on the pulpit, but the Honorable Elijah Muhammad before was even fashionable. He had sisters on the rostrum, just like the brothers.
00:44:13:20 – 00:44:41:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So there’s balance in the mind. And I’m going to further prove there’s balance, because the next presenter grew up right here in the mosque. Where? To whom? I remember him as a as a shorty running around the mosque, his mom checking him every once in a while. I did not tell you, but now he’s a grown man and now he is about to do the work that Allah has put on all those who are trying to be good helpers in the cause of Islam.
00:44:41:27 – 00:45:05:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Today our brother is an engineer and an engineer is someone who, they design or maintain buildings, engines, machines or public works. Well, I want to focus on that last part on the public works, because, people are in a wretched condition. Right. And the honorable Louis Farrakhan, he said he did 100 good ministers just like himself.
00:45:06:00 – 00:45:22:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, I believe that each one of us, in some way or another, being prepared to help the minister in that way. I pray that I’m on the list. I pray that I am guided by our Lord to be able to get to that. So at this time, let’s bring to this rostrum another student in the ministry, our brother, I mean, Muhammad, bring them on with 11.
00:45:22:26 – 00:45:29:21
Unknown
Round of applause. So I’m to.
00:45:29:23 – 00:45:55:23
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
All praises due to Allah. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful I to bear witness that there is but one God whose proper name is Allah, who intervened in our affairs in the form of a well made man named Master Fard Muhammad. And we forever thank him for intervening in our affairs and for raising up a messenger from among us that he could deposit himself into.
00:45:55:25 – 00:46:15:10
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And the man that we speak of is the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Sir. But we further thank Allah for sending the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a helper, and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. He is our divine reminder, divine Warner and the Messiah in our midst today. It is in their names that I greet you all in the greeting words of peace.
00:46:15:16 – 00:46:41:22
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Assalamualaikum. How are we this morning, family? Praise be to allow. Give this to Linda. Another round of applause. Praise be to allow. Once again, we thank you all for coming out to Muhammad Mosque number 12 to hear the life giving teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught and demonstrated by his Chief student, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:46:41:24 – 00:46:57:07
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And we really could not thank allow enough for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, because he is a man that has faithfully climbed, faithfully climbed the uphill road of preaching the divine message of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
00:46:57:14 – 00:46:58:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
00:46:58:17 – 00:47:21:18
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
But what’s special is that he continues to speak truth to power to this very day, regardless of the opposition that we see in front of him. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said of Minister Farrakhan that I want to prove not to us, but to Satan, that my Minister is a greater light to the world of man than you and your world’s man.
00:47:21:20 – 00:47:46:06
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
The whole of them. And the book of John, chapter eight, verse 12. Jesus says, I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not. What so not what walk in darkness, but have the light of life. What’s important for us to know as black people in America is that Jesus did not get to that level on his own.
00:47:46:08 – 00:47:57:06
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Jesus was taught Jesus in. Jesus was fashioned. Jesus was guided. Jesus was molded by one who is mighty in power. Is that right?
00:47:57:09 – 00:47:57:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We.
00:47:57:27 – 00:48:17:10
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
What we have to understand is that it is the same case for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in this dispensation of time, for he too has been guided fashion and molded by a lie who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad to be the chief helper of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. All praises due to Allah.
00:48:17:13 – 00:48:18:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
00:48:18:05 – 00:48:49:21
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
In the book of Genesis, chapter 15, verse 13, it reads. Then the Lord said to Abraham, know for certain that your offspring will be not, may be, but will be, sojourners in the land that is not theirs, and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for how many years? 400 years? We have to be careful when we read Scripture, because this is one that is often misunderstood.
00:48:49:24 – 00:49:08:26
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
We have to sit here and take some time to consider and think about what the significance of these 400 years are, and who are the people that will be afflicted. For those who don’t know are for parents who are brought over here on a ship named Jesus in 19, in 1555.
00:49:08:29 – 00:49:10:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
00:49:10:03 – 00:49:52:01
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Now we know that the official date is given at 1619 in Jamestown, Virginia. But this was really for our actual merchandizing as slaves to our former white slave masters. But there were 64 years that intervened between our first landing in 1555, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us that our cursed parents were Muslims, and the slaughtering of many of them and their children took place in order to destroy not just the teaching, but the remembrance of Islam at all among us.
00:49:52:03 – 00:49:52:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He.
00:49:52:27 – 00:50:18:00
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
This was the first primary stage of brainwashing and death that took place right? But how does this relate to Genesis chapter 15, verse 13, which is what we started with? Well, in 1954, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad knew that he would need a special type of helper of a certain type.
00:50:18:02 – 00:50:43:23
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
There were many helpers at the time, but who he was looking for would be different, made of something different. So he said that we have been so greatly missed, understood that I desire that a last send to me, a little helper. Would you believe that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan joined the Nation of Islam in 1955, just one year after the messenger spoke those words during Saviors Day?
00:50:43:25 – 00:51:11:17
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
All praises due to Allah. So in truth, would we attempt to get into your minds and into your hearts? Is that the year 1955, the year that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan joined the Nation of Islam and joined the ranks of the Fruit of Islam, marks the fulfillment of the 400 year prophecy that we, meaning black people, were to serve our enemies.
00:51:11:19 – 00:51:30:21
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
So this shows us that not only history, but Scripture also bears witness that the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is the answer to the plea. In the prayer to the most of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad for a helper. All praises due to Allah.
00:51:30:23 – 00:51:53:00
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
If we haven’t been convinced yet, there’s more evidence because these words from the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in 1954 are strikingly similar to the words from the Holy Quran, where we read of Moses’s prayer to allow for a helper in the prayer, he says, and my brother Aaron, he is more eloquent in speech than I, so send him with me as a helper.
00:51:53:00 – 00:52:21:11
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
To do what? Confirm me. Surely I fear that they would reject me, he said, we will strengthen thine arm with thy brother, and we will give you both in authority, so that they shall not reach you with our signs. You too, and those who follow you will triumph. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad have shared with each other the hardest job ever given to any man.
00:52:21:14 – 00:52:50:04
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
We can do a lot of jobs that are hard. We can be a doctor, a lawyer, we can work construction, we can be an electrician, which are all difficult jobs. But the hardest job God ever gave to any man was the resurrection of the dead. His sister Linda brought up earlier that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that if there were any symbol that he chose to represent himself in his work, it would be what a trumpet!
00:52:50:07 – 00:53:07:13
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
So when we get our latest addition to the Final Call newspaper and we look at this corner right here, we have to understand that that is really what those two men represent. The final call to Islam. All praises due to Allah. So once again, it is in their names that I greet you all with the greeting words of peace.
00:53:07:13 – 00:53:30:21
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Assalamualaikum. Before I go any further, I’d like to also thank our Delaware Valley Student Regional Minister, Brother Rodney Mohammed, for his continued work and service in helping the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the City of Philadelphia, but really all over the Delaware Valley region. And I also thank him for giving me the opportunity to share a few words with you all this morning.
00:53:30:23 – 00:54:07:05
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
It is always an honor and a privilege for those of us in the ministry class to share some of what we’ve been learning and studying. All praises due to a lie. I like to open this portion of our talk today with the book of Matthew, chapter five, verse 16. It reads in the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven, if it be the will of Allah.
00:54:07:07 – 00:54:27:23
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
In the short time that I have with you all this morning, I like to speak about the immeasurable value of the man that is in our midst. Today, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Minister Farrakhan has dedicated his entire life completely to the truth. Is that right?
00:54:27:29 – 00:54:28:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
00:54:29:00 – 00:54:39:20
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And he’s also dedicated it to the service of a suffering black people, not only in the United States of America, but really all over the planet Earth. Is that right.
00:54:39:22 – 00:54:40:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Sir?
00:54:40:26 – 00:54:54:23
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And if we really study the man, he’s not a man that has ever been censored for his good works on. They don’t censor the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for giving out food to the community.
00:54:54:25 – 00:54:55:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No, sir.
00:54:55:17 – 00:55:22:25
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Oh, he’s been censored and repudiated because he dares to speak the truth among those who hate the truth. It said that you can judge a man by the power of his enemies. Is that right? And the Holy Koran and saw 33 IRS 23 through 24. It says of the believers, not the disbelievers of the believers are men who are true to the covenant they made with Allah.
00:55:22:27 – 00:55:47:29
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
So of them is he who has accomplished his vow, and of them is he who yet waits, and they have not changed in the least, that allow me reward the truthful for their truth, and chastise the hypocrites. If you please, or turn to them mercifully, surely, a lot is ever forgiving, merciful.
00:55:48:01 – 00:55:48:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
00:55:49:00 – 00:56:12:18
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
So what we have to understand is that the truth must be spoken today, but the one on whom the mission is to make Satan known, which is a tough mission, must deliver the message. But he must also not fear the consequences of delivering the message. For surely in the Holy Quran it says, the law will protect you from men.
00:56:12:18 – 00:56:31:10
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Is that right? However, how we use and this is very important, how we use the energy of the truth that we have been given will either put you on the side of God or marked you as Satan.
00:56:31:13 – 00:56:33:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh come on.
00:56:33:05 – 00:56:44:11
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has taught us that black people are offending God because the time of our servitude to white America is up.
00:56:44:13 – 00:56:45:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
To you.
00:56:45:10 – 00:57:00:04
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And we must begin to make independent steps. So this means that we cannot, as a people, continue to depend on others to feed, clothe and shelter.
00:57:00:04 – 00:57:01:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Us.
00:57:01:16 – 00:57:14:27
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And yet we desire to be treated equal, we must become a productive nation. Is that right? First of all, why are you trying to be equal to a man that enslaves you?
00:57:14:29 – 00:57:17:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Because otherwise.
00:57:17:13 – 00:57:47:10
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Why? You see, we could do wonderful things as a people, wonderful things for ourselves. If we get the idea of social equality and integrating with white people out of our minds and integrating with their societies, out of our minds, all praises due to Allah. Lost. Found. Muslim. Lesson number one says, why does the devil keep our people apart from his social equality?
00:57:47:12 – 00:57:59:12
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
What is the answer? Because he does not want us to know how filthy he is in all his affairs. He is afraid because when we learn about him, what will we do? Run him from among us.
00:57:59:15 – 00:58:00:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
All.
00:58:00:22 – 00:58:32:11
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Socialists means to advocate or a society of men or groups of men for one common cause. What does equality mean to be equal in everything? And look at this common definition of social equality says social equality is a state of affairs in which all individuals, not some individuals, but all individuals within a specific society, have equal rights, liberties and status.
00:58:32:13 – 00:58:49:02
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And this could possibly include civil rights, freedom of expression, autonomy, and equal access to certain public goods and social services. A stop for a second. This don’t sound like anything we experience day to day. Does it.
00:58:49:05 – 00:58:49:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Say?
00:58:50:01 – 00:59:34:03
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And it’s clear to us that this is something that those in power do not intend to just hand over? Is that right? Okay. Well, in message to the black man on page 203, there’s a section. Brother David knows the section well. Separation and separation. Independence. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says with the right understanding and with business unity, we can turn the great flow of millions of dollars that leave black communities and go into the hands of white businessmen, back into the pockets of poor black men and women who would benefit most by it.
00:59:34:11 – 00:59:57:00
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
How can we do this? First thing he said we have to do is we have to stop being so foolish as to spin off a few hard earned dollars with the rich of this land. Come on. As soon as we get that check on Friday, first thing we doing. Oh, I’m by the treat myself. And I’m worked hard these last two weeks.
00:59:57:02 – 01:00:33:05
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Somebody think this is true? But we’ve all done it. We get our little bit of money and we try and treat ourselves. And at the root is nothing bad with treating yourself. But why do we spend our money first with the enemy? We don’t spend it with each other. The dollar leaves our community like this. He says those of us who are wealthy or rich should set should help set up independent businesses which our people need and which could add wealth to our communities, he says.
01:00:33:05 – 01:01:03:10
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
With such cooperation of our own, businessmen could actually help lower prices and provide employment for the multitude of unemployed. Now, many of us who are rich and wealthy are also college educated. Somehow there’s been some confusion in which we think that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is telling us that under no circumstances should we receive college education that is emphatically wrong.
01:01:03:12 – 01:01:04:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Research, teach.
01:01:04:20 – 01:01:19:26
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And our Savior has arrived. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the degree of education that we get could actually be used to go for self. But guess what? It can be used to do for self. If you want to do for self.
01:01:19:29 – 01:01:21:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I mean.
01:01:21:02 – 01:01:50:09
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
All praises due to Allah. So being college educated is not necessarily a bad thing, but when you go to school you should have already a requisite knowledge of who you are. Because when you go to school without a knowledge of who you are, you’re likely to lose yourself and never find it again. You’ll come. So if we want to do for self, it’s on us to actually bring that forward.
01:01:50:11 – 01:02:11:19
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
There’s a brother I always talk to about this. I’m not gonna say his name, but we all, we always talk to each other and we talk about steal away. But the brother said, you have to work. You steal away plan. I said, that’s right. I said, that’s right. We can’t just be on the job thinking, well, I’m stealing away and I’m trying to go for myself.
01:02:11:19 – 01:02:40:22
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
But are you, do you have a plan? And are you working it in? Praise be to Allah. We have but to be successful. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says we must have some of this earth to produce our people’s needs. All praises due to Allah. So when the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan says that we are offending God because the time of our servitude to white America is up and that we must begin to make independent steps, what is he doing?
01:02:40:24 – 01:03:13:00
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
He’s really reaffirming the message of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. In 1972, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that Minister Farrakhan’s preaching is a bearing of witness to what God has given to him. But what do those words bearing of witness mean? In the mosque and in the church? We bear witness all the time, and in this setting, it’s usually a response to a speaker’s words.
01:03:13:00 – 01:03:51:00
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Is that right? But it can also mean to be present as an observer at an event or an occurrence. And they can further mean to give confirmation of something or some fact. But deeper yet the words can mean to be or the evidence of some event or some fact. Well, in this case, when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is saying that Minister Farrakhan’s preaching is a bearing of witness to him and what God has given to him, he’s saying that Minister Farrakhan is teaching and work is the evidence and truth of his teachings and work in a very special way.
01:03:51:03 – 01:03:52:16
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Are we following?
01:03:52:18 – 01:03:53:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:03:53:19 – 01:04:24:27
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
I think today in 2024 and back then two, we can honestly say with Beyond a Shadow of a doubt that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is evidence and proof of the integrity, truth and truthfulness of his teacher, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. All praises due to Allah, but family. One of the most beautiful things about the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
01:04:24:29 – 01:04:32:21
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And there are many beautiful things about him. Yes, but I find that one of the most beautiful things about him is his humility.
01:04:32:24 – 01:04:34:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Yes.
01:04:34:05 – 01:04:52:24
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that if he can carry you across the lake without dropping you in, he don’t say when you get to the other side, you see what I have done? What does he tell you? You see what Allah has done. There’s a lesson in that for us.
01:04:52:26 – 01:05:08:16
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And I don’t know about any of us, but what’s always stuck out to me about that quote is how the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is completely focused on the work, and he does not concern himself with taking the credit.
01:05:08:19 – 01:05:09:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:05:09:21 – 01:05:23:04
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Many times we’re too concerned about ourselves when we do something of good. And in this concern, we lose patience and begin to think why Allah is not blessing us with what we deem to be quick enough.
01:05:23:07 – 01:05:26:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I come out.
01:05:26:07 – 01:05:31:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And speak. I’m going from.
01:05:31:04 – 01:05:59:18
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches us that we have to be on guard against the sin of ignorance. Come on. And the sin of ignorance is the dissatisfaction with the apparent slowness of allies, reward for what we deem to be faithful service. A beautiful example that we’ve seen in the past year of not falling victim to the sin of ignorance, is what Minister Ishmael spoke about during one of the Ramadan prayer lines.
01:05:59:21 – 01:06:29:06
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
He spoke about how our Palestinian’s family is going through a very, very hard and difficult struggle. Is that right? They’re suffering greatly. But the beautiful thing about them is that through everything that they’ve gone through, they have stayed mindful of their prayers in many of them. Still observed the month of Ramadan, and they are not upset with Allah nor cursing him.
01:06:29:09 – 01:06:54:15
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
So we can say that they are surely not falling victim to that sin of ignorance. Is that right? Praise be to Allah. All praise is due to Allah. So as believers or those striving to believe and eventually striving to know, we must always remember that Allah imposes not on any soul a duty beyond its scope. Is that right?
01:06:54:17 – 01:07:24:09
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
In many cases we are being tested to see what we are able to handle. Earlier this morning we opened up in prayer and we said that our prayer, our sacrifice, our life and our death is all for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. So we cannot let ourselves become frustrated by the trials that we go through and that we’re soon, hopefully to be growing through all praises due to Allah.
01:07:24:12 – 01:07:58:12
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Another example of this very quickly is how we give in charity, right? Sometimes we give $5 on a Wednesday night by 7 p.m. we think by Thursday night at 7 p.m.. My blessing should have arrived by now. And we treat charity like a special $5 $10. And when’s it coming back? Right. But that’s because of our ignorance. Sometimes you get or don’t get what a lot plan for you to get you.
01:07:58:16 – 01:08:20:14
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
You still sitting here waiting on a blessing. And maybe you are on Thursday morning, scheduled to meet your end or getting a gravely injured in a car accident. And because of that, $5, $4, $3, $2, $1 that you gave, Allah said no, no no no no no, spare my servant. He’s not ready for this or she’s not ready for this.
01:08:20:19 – 01:08:49:09
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
I’ll give him more time. The Holy Koran teaches us that surely man is inordinate because he thinks himself to be self-sufficient, but ultimately allies the grantor of security. And he it is who straightens the means of subsistence for whom he pleases, rather, for one thing, I believe that we can all agree on about the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
01:08:49:09 – 01:08:57:28
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
At 91 years young, is that he can completely put his focus on building a nation.
01:08:58:00 – 01:08:58:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:08:58:24 – 01:09:13:01
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
But if he can do that, then what should we find ourselves doing? He’s our example. We should be focusing completely on building a nation. Is that right? Praise be to Allah.
01:09:13:03 – 01:09:26:16
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
But. What keeps us from this is that we’ve confused hard work with being tired.
01:09:26:18 – 01:09:49:01
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
We can tire ourselves all day not doing a thing. If you don’t believe it, just go home today or tomorrow and don’t do anything all day. And just think negative thoughts all day. You’ll be beat by the end of the day. Having done nothing.
01:09:49:04 – 01:10:25:29
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
But from physics, we learned that work is what force times distance. What does this equation imply? Whether you know it or not, even if you don’t know how to use the equation, if you just know that work equals force times distance, then you know that the equation implies distance has to be involved for there to be work. So we cannot say that we are really working hard and there’s been no motion, progress or advancement.
01:10:26:02 – 01:10:47:03
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
I often use this example, but if we’ve ever watched the baby try to push a box from one side of the room to the other side of the room, the box might not move a centimeter, but your son or daughter is struggling, sweating profusely and you may joke with you, say self and say, look at little, use my name.
01:10:47:03 – 01:11:13:23
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
I mean working hard. He move that box an inch. Really. I’m not working hard. I’m just tired and I’ve exhausted myself while doing no work. The reality is that we are tired family, but we’re not necessarily working hard. But the Holy Koran gives us guidance for this. That’s the book we should always be looking for. All praise is due to Allah.
01:11:13:25 – 01:11:20:08
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
The Holy Koran teaches us that if you help Allah, he will help you and make firm your feet.
01:11:20:14 – 01:11:21:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:11:21:27 – 01:11:25:13
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
But there’s a prerequisite. You got to be helping.
01:11:25:15 – 01:11:26:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:11:26:12 – 01:11:57:25
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
If you’re not doing what you’re supposed to do, what makes you think a law has to do what you think he’s supposed to do? So it is incumbent upon us to take real steps towards the law, so that he will ultimately take even more steps toward us. Is that right? And he’ll help us achieve our goals. But in order to do that, we must follow the example of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in his humility.
01:11:57:28 – 01:12:27:10
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
So in my closing, I’d like to go to Study Guide 18, which, of course was given to us by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. I’ll close with this. This is on page 157, dealing with the story of Hagar, which is one of the best stories and examples given to us for humility. Very quickly, it says, banished from our home of her child’s father, Hagar found herself in the wilderness without food or shelter.
01:12:27:12 – 01:12:50:19
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Although these essentials were in the house of Abraham, the baby’s father, apparently none will be forthcoming for Hagar or the child. It says she ran to and fro in quest of water between two hills, Safa and Marwa, until she was what? Exhausted. Finally, she decided to give up the effort and die. She bent and lay the baby down on the ground.
01:12:50:21 – 01:13:13:26
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Where there, at his foot a well suddenly sprang up. What is the lesson in this? Every servant of Allah has, at some time or some point been expelled from home, or put out of the protection of your family? Is that right? If you go to college, you’re out of the protection of your family. If you go to middle school, you’re out of the protection of your family.
01:13:13:26 – 01:13:14:14
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Is that right?
01:13:14:21 – 01:13:16:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Salute.
01:13:16:03 – 01:13:40:00
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And we find ourselves running from persecution without no one to rely on except Allah. But guess what? If in this distress, we are overpowered, powered by emotion, we may react improperly and lose a great reward? Is that right? But the lesson we learn from Hagar is that Hagar did not succumb to a common emotion in bitterness caused by deprivation.
01:13:40:06 – 01:13:59:20
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
She did not curse Abraham, nor Sarah. She looked to her God. She looked to the hills from whence her help came the Lord. So what we have to understand is that pain and deprivation are in fact severe trials. Is that right? Distress may be so intense that the sufferer is too distracted to be able to concentrate. Is that right?
01:13:59:23 – 01:14:26:12
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
Unable to pray, but in a very emotional way. Is that right? But the Holy Koran says that when we are in distress, we are in sincere prayer and lengthy. And what supplication? But if we keep the presence of mind and summon up the necessary strength to seek the solution to the problem from Allah, then we may be able to be upheld until we reach an understanding.
01:14:26:19 – 01:14:56:27
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
All praises due to a lie, all praises due to a lie. So I close with this. I close with this. I want us to think about if it’s possible that we, like Hagar, are finding ourselves stuck, running back and forth, trying to get help from entities that don’t intend to give it. Minister Farrakhan teaches us that you must protect your head with wisdom, that you can save your life, and with the sword of the spirit in your hand.
01:14:57:00 – 01:15:18:11
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
And the Bible says that not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord. So, family, the victory is not won with carnal weapons, but it’s one with the Spirit of God. All praises due to Allah. Male I continue to bless us with the light of understanding as I greet you in peace. Assalamualaikum. Please help me see.
01:15:18:11 – 01:15:19:19
Student In The Ministry ,Ameen Muhammad
To bring to the rostrum another.
01:15:19:19 – 01:15:26:14
Unknown
Student in the ministry, Brother Joseph Muhammad.
01:15:26:16 – 01:15:53:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Student applause. Going. brother student in the ministry. But I mean Muhammad all praises you to Allah. We’re brothers and sisters. I hope you not, fool, because there’s another portion coming to this. We’ve been. You’ve heard the first two presenters, sister Linda and brother. I mean, talk about a valuable black man. That’s. That was a lecture by Minister Jabril Muhammad Ali.
01:15:53:02 – 01:16:16:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’ll. I’ll be pleased with him forever. He was known as the friend of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Yes. That’s big the way that. But what we are about to do now, we going to bring a man who, like Brother Jabril, he’s like a friend to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. We changed. If we don’t say friend, we just say helper.
01:16:16:03 – 01:16:36:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He’s a valuable helper. Yes, he’s in our region, and he’s a hard working soldier. I can’t think of a time that I don’t hear from him. And he’s there. Brother Joseph, I gotta go to a meeting. I got to cover this. I got to cover that. He’s always working tirelessly. Yes. And I don’t know how. How true it is with your lesser teachers to work cheerfully.
01:16:36:19 – 01:17:00:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He always sounds like he has good spirit, even though I know the work that he’s doing is very difficult. So, brothers and sisters, just very quickly, when the Million Man March or when Jesse Jackson was running for president and the FBI, they wouldn’t give the Department of Justice, wouldn’t give Jesse no, security. One of the brothers who I know he was on security when they wouldn’t do it, the FBI came to our brothers.
01:17:00:26 – 01:17:19:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He and one of the brothers, because the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was there, though he was a national secretary at that time. It don’t matter when a minister somewhere you a soldier and you all post well, wherever he was, the Honorable Louis Farrakhan, this brother was on post being a soldier. So I want you to bring you this right.
01:17:19:07 – 01:17:32:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m a hard working black man. Delaware Valley student Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad with a rousing round of applause. Salaam alaikum.
01:17:32:12 – 01:17:36:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
All right. Salaam alaikum.
01:17:36:12 – 01:18:15:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the most merciful, the one God to whom praise is due. The Lord of the worlds. We thank Almighty God, the revealer of all truth, the center of all prophets of whom we make no distinction. We think a love for Moses and the Torah, for Jesus and the gospel, for Muhammad, and the revelation of the Holy Call on, we bless, the name of all of the prophets from Abraham to Muhammad, where the principles of our own faith came to their full evolution.
01:18:16:01 – 01:18:44:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
we thank them. We cannot thank them enough. But I’m a student of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad life giving message. As a result of that, I’m most thankful to allow for his own intervention in our affairs in the divine person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is forever. The world doesn’t really know him.
01:18:44:04 – 01:18:46:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Know.
01:18:46:22 – 01:19:22:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But they got to know of him. For those that have stood in their time, and they attempt to represent him and represent his truth. When people have trashed you, you know, that’s generally the garbage heap or the junk pile. But we are taught that he came to a junk pile of people that this world had rejected.
01:19:22:13 – 01:19:23:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:19:23:29 – 01:19:56:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he took one from the junk pile, as I heard Sister Linda reading about. And she made this strong point, you know, why does a law choose one as opposed to the other? you just not fit for the choice. Yes, he know best where to place his message. So his concern was not just the one he chose.
01:19:56:20 – 01:19:59:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
His concern was the whole junk pile.
01:19:59:10 – 01:20:00:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.
01:20:01:01 – 01:20:04:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
but he had to get a unSc. Selfish man.
01:20:04:24 – 01:20:05:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:20:05:26 – 01:20:19:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That if I give him what I have and reveal to him who I am on, he won’t run with that and try to lord his self over the people. He’ll go back to the junk pile.
01:20:20:04 – 01:20:22:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what.
01:20:22:02 – 01:20:45:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And make sure that as he has been restored, that everybody on the junk pile has the opportunity for restoration. That’s right. So we really can’t thank him enough for his servant, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
01:20:45:04 – 01:21:26:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, of course, in his labors saw that he would need a special helper. And as I heard, brother, Amin talking about the messenger’s prayer, you know, when you pray to Allah in earnest, you believe that he will answer your prayer. So in 1954, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad prayed a prayer for a helper.
01:21:26:22 – 01:22:05:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It was already noted by brother. I mean he had several helpers already. But it’s a certain kind of help you’re looking for, right? And so by 1954, at this prayer that he prayed, A helper came. And the minister said he was playing at a club in Chicago, but was invited to come to 53rd and Greenwood to save his day.
01:22:05:13 – 01:22:25:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when he got there, it was his first meeting. He was a first time. Mother Khadijah was a first time, so it was always customary to set the first timers up front.
01:22:25:05 – 01:22:41:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But even though he was a first timer, they didn’t set him up front. They took him and set him up in the balcony where the Honorable Elijah Muhammad could see him.
01:22:41:07 – 01:22:47:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I don’t know what he thought. This might be the one.
01:22:47:19 – 01:23:07:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That the honorable Elijah Muhammad’s prayer. That this man would be the answer to that. But the minister said as he sat in the balcony thinking, this man can’t talk. The man looked up in the balcony at him.
01:23:07:04 – 01:23:09:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:23:09:14 – 01:23:13:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And let him know that the doors were closed to the school when he got there.
01:23:14:00 – 01:23:15:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, that’s a real call.
01:23:15:08 – 01:23:20:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he didn’t get that fine learning that you got.
01:23:20:08 – 01:23:21:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on.
01:23:21:08 – 01:23:26:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said. But don’t you pay attention to how I’m saying what I’m saying?
01:23:26:10 – 01:23:27:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:23:27:26 – 01:23:38:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You just pay attention to what I’m saying. Yes. Take it. Put it in that fine language that, you know, that was an assignment, right?
01:23:38:24 – 01:23:41:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. So you come.
01:23:41:05 – 01:23:54:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the minister said his uncle hit him and said, man, what are you doing? Your wife is already accepted. She’s up front. So he got on up there. And I mean, the rest is history.
01:23:55:02 – 01:23:56:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right, that’s right.
01:23:56:26 – 01:24:07:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But being an English major, not an Arabic major. Come on, come on. An English major.
01:24:07:17 – 01:24:09:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:24:09:03 – 01:24:14:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We have English lesson. See number one, not Arabic lesson. See number one.
01:24:14:29 – 01:24:16:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on. That’s right.
01:24:16:22 – 01:24:22:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’ll speak Arabic soon enough. Yes, sir. But I ain’t seen nobody saved.
01:24:22:24 – 01:24:24:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Do you?
01:24:24:23 – 01:24:27:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
those in North America.
01:24:27:14 – 01:24:29:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Great. No.
01:24:29:05 – 01:24:31:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because somebody spoke Arabic to them.
01:24:31:26 – 01:24:33:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Hey, that’s.
01:24:33:12 – 01:25:12:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The only Arabic we knew. Was I. Salaam Lake? While Lake of Salam. But other than that, we’ve been taught in English. That’s right. Yes, sir. progress has been made in English that, And so the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has been doing that since he’s been on this post. Yes, sir. Taking the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and putting it into foreign language that he.
01:25:12:27 – 01:25:13:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
No.
01:25:13:07 – 01:25:16:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. Right there. That’s what he.
01:25:16:11 – 01:25:46:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we have to talk about how when we don’t see value, we start to devalue something, even though value is sitting right in front of our face. I have so I greet you all with the greeting words of peace. Salaam alaikum. Sir. Can you join me in just giving a hand to the presenters?
01:25:46:07 – 01:25:48:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Sister Linda Muhammad.
01:25:48:11 – 01:25:51:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Brother Amin Muhammad, today.
01:25:51:23 – 01:26:01:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
All praises. Due to a long.
01:26:01:06 – 01:26:12:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s a saying, people say, you know, when it’s dark, the stars come out.
01:26:12:10 – 01:26:24:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But in science, there’s no such thing as the stars coming out. You know that. The stars are out the whole time.
01:26:24:05 – 01:26:27:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:26:27:16 – 01:26:37:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you can look up there and you won’t see them, but. Right, right. Because you can’t see a star while the sun is present.
01:26:37:07 – 01:26:42:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I think the way we teach star. Come on.
01:26:42:14 – 01:26:57:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Doctor King used to say it’s difficult. It’s dark. Sometime, he said, but only when it’s dark enough can you see the stars.
01:26:57:12 – 01:27:04:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, as a light giving sun.
01:27:04:11 – 01:27:06:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
01:27:06:16 – 01:27:19:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Sit. I’m coming. All the phase of my work. The term is coming to an end, right?
01:27:19:07 – 01:27:21:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Think about.
01:27:21:19 – 01:27:32:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he talks a little about the absence of someone who’s a teacher.
01:27:33:01 – 01:28:08:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That when the term comes to an end, it presents an exam or tests. You have to have a test. You know, there’s no way the teacher can feel like I think you learning this, but it’s really no way to really know whether you’ve learned it or how well we have learned it. Except the teacher. Step back and let the student take the test.
01:28:08:12 – 01:28:20:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
She’s just the absence of the teacher is a test.
01:28:20:05 – 01:28:23:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And,
01:28:23:11 – 01:29:01:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If the teacher. In his presence and every word of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was filled with three elements. The first one was light. So if the teacher has become like the word, because in the beginning was the word, it was with God, then it was God, and now the word come alive in a human being. So that the word that he speaks from his mouth, God light it.
01:29:01:17 – 01:29:02:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:29:02:11 – 01:29:14:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You always enlighten him when he opens his mouth. Right? so his absence can produce darkness.
01:29:14:26 – 01:29:15:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus, brother.
01:29:15:28 – 01:29:21:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But only when it’s dark enough can you see the star.
01:29:21:22 – 01:29:26:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Do you?
01:29:26:05 – 01:29:36:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So there has to be a time for the sun to make his presence.
01:29:36:02 – 01:29:37:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
display the.
01:29:37:24 – 01:29:38:28
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Power.
01:29:39:00 – 01:29:46:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That the sun has. The sun has light. The sun has vitamins.
01:29:46:26 – 01:29:48:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:29:48:28 – 01:30:04:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When people were fighting Covid and had to go to the hospital, one part of the treatment plan was they put you in the sun for 25 minutes a day. Why the sun? You you don’t have that in the medicine.
01:30:04:01 – 01:30:05:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Cabinet.
01:30:05:08 – 01:30:13:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s sitting up in the heavens, Because the sun. There’s no substitute for the sun as a disinfectant.
01:30:13:24 – 01:30:15:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.
01:30:15:26 – 01:30:32:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So just being exposed to it in the sun’s rays, it plants vitamins in you that go down in you. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, see, and these vitamins from the sun. They like our.
01:30:32:11 – 01:30:34:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Army.
01:30:34:18 – 01:31:07:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And soon as you have your system in mind corrupted with disease, he said, these vitamins rise up for more. Now they it’s like they were dormant. But it’s a fight on now for the health of the body. And these vitamins rise up to defeat what’s coming at us. You know, when we’re exposed to a man who’s like the sun and his teaching is like rays of the sun, the messengers say, which are equal to his wisdom.
01:31:07:26 – 01:31:09:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:31:09:10 – 01:31:21:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you just let yourself absorb that. The spiritual diseases that are going to be thrown away. We need something to rise up out of us.
01:31:21:21 – 01:31:22:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:31:22:09 – 01:31:46:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To help us fight in a day like that, because the sun won’t be here. But guess what? The stars will be here. We just heard two of them today. We’re. We’ve been taught by a star that don’t even have an equal in Louis Farrakhan, right? Yes. So.
01:31:46:19 – 01:31:47:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m thankful for them.
01:31:48:02 – 01:31:49:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
01:31:49:25 – 01:31:51:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And this just the beginning.
01:31:51:24 – 01:31:53:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:31:54:01 – 01:32:00:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They stood up here today. they made it look easy.
01:32:00:04 – 01:32:03:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:32:03:28 – 01:32:19:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let me do that. Somebody is always stopping me. I want to be in the ministry. You just don’t know. The price you gotta pay.
01:32:19:14 – 01:32:51:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we. We can’t be long. Look, we’ve had the talk today. We’re talking about the value of the message of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And you know, the first thing you know that I notice is. We need a revelation that doesn’t require the end of white supremacy in order for it to have a positive effect on us.
01:32:52:00 – 01:33:16:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, we ought to had a revolution. What are we going to do it in a revolution? We got to get rid of the the oppressor, right? Get rid of the white man. Get rid of his his ideal of white supremacy. Then we can be free. Then we can live a peaceful existence. Then we can. We can grow. If that’s what we waiting on, then we don’t need a teaching.
01:33:16:23 – 01:33:34:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We just need to try to find out how did we get the white supremacist or anybody that’s bringing that idea? No, we need a teaching. That’s why that doesn’t require the white man to be out of his seat. In order for us to develop.
01:33:34:19 – 01:33:49:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Only what kind of God would I be praying to someone who’s telling me, well, I can’t help you, brother Rodney to the white man is out of power. And one of the reasons.
01:33:49:25 – 01:33:51:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I come on.
01:33:51:26 – 01:34:02:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That they are having such a difficult time with Louis Farrakhan. Come on brother, I mean mentioned it. He said the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to show you I’m going to get you my student, right?
01:34:02:21 – 01:34:03:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:34:03:24 – 01:34:11:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And challenge you to pull up somebody in the world that’s his equal, right? Come on.
01:34:11:02 – 01:34:12:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Teacher.
01:34:12:25 – 01:34:17:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t do it.
01:34:17:29 – 01:34:22:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, how did he get like that? Because he didn’t start out like that.
01:34:22:29 – 01:34:24:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Teach, brother.
01:34:24:15 – 01:34:32:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He got like that because of a message? Yes, sir. He believed in it? Yes, he teaches it now.
01:34:32:15 – 01:34:33:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:34:33:10 – 01:34:46:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The one that taught him is not here to teach us for. But he’s here. Come on, come on. Somebody ask Jesus. When will we see the father? He said, have I not been with you all this time?
01:34:46:27 – 01:34:50:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Wake up! Come on.
01:34:50:03 – 01:35:07:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come on. You ask for the father when you see me. You looking right smack at the father. Because everything that you would get from the father. You getting from me? That’s why he chose me. Farrakhan. To teach.
01:35:07:02 – 01:35:15:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You. Because I would be faithful to you. If I wasn’t connected to the father, hell, you wouldn’t have lied.
01:35:15:17 – 01:35:23:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You still be in the dark.
01:35:23:17 – 01:35:28:22
Student In The Ministry Linda Muhammad
Yes.
01:35:28:24 – 01:35:31:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the white man is having a problem with Louis Farrakhan?
01:35:31:25 – 01:35:35:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. You do.
01:35:36:00 – 01:35:37:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because he’s developed.
01:35:37:20 – 01:35:41:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:35:41:11 – 01:35:51:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What kind of classroom is the black man in North America sitting in that I don’t have control over.
01:35:51:10 – 01:35:52:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Him.
01:35:52:06 – 01:36:14:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because the white man knows the math. Anybody that controls the diameter of your knowledge, he controls the circumference of your activity. The activity of Louis Farrakhan is not Negro activity. Come on.
01:36:15:01 – 01:36:27:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The problem is not. That the message of the Honorable Louis Farrakhan has value. The problem is the people that the message is for. Don’t see the value in.
01:36:27:25 – 01:36:35:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It right now. Yes, sir.
01:36:35:23 – 01:37:04:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You want to, sell your house or you want to purchase a house somewhere in the process? After the sale price, after the offer and the acceptance. And a bank agrees to back up the, loan amount is all based what? On value.
01:37:04:28 – 01:37:05:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Oh.
01:37:05:29 – 01:37:14:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So before we can sign all the paperwork, I want to send out an appraiser.
01:37:15:00 – 01:37:15:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:37:15:29 – 01:37:20:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Take a look at this house.
01:37:20:12 – 01:37:58:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And see if the estimated value is a real value. Right. So. So the appraiser has been trained to come out to look for certain things that they consider constituent parts of. What helps them to come up with the some value of the home. Sometimes they quickly look at what have other homes sold for.
01:37:58:10 – 01:37:59:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Here.
01:37:59:06 – 01:38:12:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In the area that you live. Call comps. And then they come and they look for things structurally.
01:38:12:15 – 01:38:46:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And sometimes before a sale is completed, they may have a list of things they want you to do and take care of before the title company, will sign off on this property in a closing. So what we need as black people, we need appraisal power, right? Right. I’m always looking at black conferences, talking about black empowerment and empowerment conferences.
01:38:46:18 – 01:39:01:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if you don’t have the power to appraise the value of something, they can always come in on you and tell you this is of lesser value than you giving.
01:39:01:25 – 01:39:04:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It right now.
01:39:04:06 – 01:39:13:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Imagine a man who would deny us higher learning in his institutions, leaving black people with no.
01:39:13:18 – 01:39:15:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Choice.
01:39:15:11 – 01:39:20:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But to set up your own historically black colleges and university.
01:39:20:21 – 01:39:23:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:39:23:27 – 01:40:12:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we were proud because the stats show, 80 to 90% of all black judges came from historically black colleges and universities. 70 to 80% of black lawyers. They come from historically black colleges and universities. So what they have started doing about a decade and a half ago, they’ve been planting in the minds of black parents who are putting money together, looking for student loans, and that to send their children, hopefully to one of these historically black colleges and universities, there’s our companies won’t hire them.
01:40:12:08 – 01:40:17:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
so they’ve started a process of devaluation.
01:40:17:17 – 01:40:19:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:40:19:04 – 01:40:52:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so as we devalue these historically black colleges and universities, we’re fighting to get into Ivy League colleges now that they didn’t want us in in the first place. If they had let us in those colleges, there, there may not be as many historically black colleges and universities. The problem was you can get a quality education out of those schools, but they devalue them, meaning they considered themselves to have appraisal power.
01:40:52:19 – 01:41:16:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we turned it over to them. So to be a real revolutionary, a real black man and black woman, you got to you have to evaluate and be able to appraise your own value.
01:41:16:15 – 01:41:26:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And that’s where Farrakhan comes in. Because the message of the Honorable Louis Farrakhan helps us to look at our.
01:41:26:13 – 01:41:28:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Lives, look.
01:41:28:20 – 01:41:36:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
At how we see ourselves and go undergo a reappraisal.
01:41:36:19 – 01:41:39:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Of ourselves.
01:41:39:27 – 01:41:58:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look at the three elements of a study course that he started self-improvement. What, why and how? Let us look at what. What is what of who? What are we? What are we doing? That’s an examination.
01:41:58:29 – 01:42:00:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Of.
01:42:00:17 – 01:42:17:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Once you determine what you’re doing, why? See, he’s following the steps of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. So those who gave us lessons that started with what?
01:42:17:19 – 01:42:20:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Say?
01:42:20:06 – 01:43:06:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What? What is the population? What is the square mileage? What what what is see? What is the birth record? And just the what? Then he takes you into the why. Why? The ministers say that’s the analyze this. That’ll tell you how you got to the what. And after the reappraisal, how are you going to make the change so and nowhere in the how in the correction does the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan say, we have to wait till the white man steps down.
01:43:06:08 – 01:43:34:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We we can develop into the picture that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us right here, while that man is still sitting in the white House. Yes, we need a movement that doesn’t require white people to accept us and accept what we’re doing. So when we take an acceptance here, we don’t get a letter from the white House or Harrisburg or City Hall.
01:43:34:22 – 01:44:00:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When you take acceptance here, you accepting what God has already created you to be. This is a wake up message, not a make up message where we’re making up something, we’re trying to wake up to, what God has already done with us. That’s the value of the message of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
01:44:00:02 – 01:44:18:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look what he said, because we are in a land where you gotta know about Jesus. I don’t care what religion you got, whether it’s Buddhism, Hindu or whatever in this land, you better know something about Jesus.
01:44:18:05 – 01:44:20:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Christ, right?
01:44:20:06 – 01:44:54:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you even look like you putting Jesus down, forget about trying to build something. The minister said, Jesus wanted to take you a step further. In fact, he wanted to give you your degree. So why? Why Minister Farrakhan? So that it would never be necessary for another man of God to come to you?
01:44:54:26 – 01:45:24:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Man. So if if we’re supposed to be a land of people that love Jesus and learn from Jesus, we we shouldn’t even be waiting on anybody that’s real. So which means what Jesus brought, the way we have valued it. It’s been through the lens of our oppressor. So we never going to get from Jesus what we need to get from him right?
01:45:24:18 – 01:45:30:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The first Jesus we were given was white.
01:45:30:29 – 01:45:45:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We won’t give value to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, but the only reason black America will only accept a black Jesus the day is because of the honorable Elijah Muhammad. That’s.
01:45:45:26 – 01:46:23:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
From the 1930s, the 1940s, the 1950s up to 1960, the honorable Elijah Muhammad did not build a muslim community with the Holy Koran. We didn’t have it in mass until 1960. So what did he teach from? He taught from the Bible to build a muslim community. That’s why in theology a time he said, we are the real Christians because I’ve taught you to live by what Jesus Christ put in his book.
01:46:23:19 – 01:46:28:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
50 he was a minister.
01:46:28:29 – 01:46:33:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, man, you won’t need nobody else to come teach you.
01:46:33:15 – 01:46:35:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Some of the more.
01:46:36:00 – 01:46:50:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you were a student. Now to this teacher, Louis Farrakhan, and you learned your lesson well, you won’t need to be a student to anybody else. You’ll be teaching.
01:46:50:16 – 01:46:57:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what. Yes, sir.
01:46:58:23 – 01:47:23:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said for you in your own life would be a witness of Allah’s presence. So if somebody has a question, is there a God, somebody a point over there to you across the street. There he is, right over there. How can you say that every time you see the black man that’s in you.
01:47:24:13 – 01:47:35:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You’re looking at. Good. And he’s saying, if you’ve learned this, then the full presence of God is in your life. All somebody gotta do is talk to you.
01:47:35:13 – 01:47:37:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Somebody come on.
01:47:37:05 – 01:47:38:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And they say, My.
01:47:38:01 – 01:47:40:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
God.
01:47:40:15 – 01:47:41:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m glad you called on.
01:47:41:20 – 01:47:42:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Me.
01:47:42:24 – 01:47:45:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I ain’t never had a conversation like this.
01:47:45:28 – 01:47:46:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
In.
01:47:46:08 – 01:47:56:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
My mind. It’s so lit up from what you are sharing with me, because the message of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is electric.
01:47:56:23 – 01:47:59:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Just it is, right?
01:47:59:06 – 01:48:05:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s electric. And electricity was the mysterious force in the universe.
01:48:05:10 – 01:48:08:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:48:08:05 – 01:48:19:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us it was already there when God committed his own supreme act of self-creation.
01:48:19:18 – 01:48:21:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:48:21:07 – 01:48:32:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Which means, because he was already there, you can’t get away from it. That’s right. So electricity became the basis of our existence. You ever touch somebody, get shocked?
01:48:33:01 – 01:48:35:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:48:35:09 – 01:48:38:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, we already have electricity in us.
01:48:38:11 – 01:48:39:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.
01:48:39:21 – 01:48:42:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s measured and controlled.
01:48:42:12 – 01:48:42:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:48:43:01 – 01:49:00:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
People who are electricians know that the electricity that’s out here, if we were exposed to his full power, we couldn’t exist. It’s got gotta be harnessed and it’s got to be brought. This message of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is so explosive.
01:49:00:09 – 01:49:01:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on. Yes, sir.
01:49:01:27 – 01:49:10:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He found out as he set things up. He needed a lead minister. That’s right. That’s that wire that it has to come through.
01:49:10:22 – 01:49:11:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:49:11:05 – 01:49:18:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You see, there’s a power plant over there. If I go expose myself to that, I’m finished. Right.
01:49:18:21 – 01:49:26:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if I accept what a Lord has chosen. That’s right. Come on. I can turn a switch in the light. Oh. Come on.
01:49:27:00 – 01:49:29:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That’s right.
01:49:29:27 – 01:49:39:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if I don’t want what he has chosen and I want to go around him him and try to have direct contact, guess what? I’m going to blow up right now.
01:49:39:24 – 01:49:40:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You’re talking.
01:49:40:18 – 01:49:47:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s because I can’t handle the shock.
01:49:47:28 – 01:49:51:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Of the voltage.
01:49:51:26 – 01:49:59:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Farrakhan is magnetized. Yes, sir. That’s what electricity does. It takes metal and it.
01:49:59:13 – 01:50:03:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Magnetized thing? Yes, yes.
01:50:03:03 – 01:50:16:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when the molecules of one piece of steel has the electricity magnetized, it has the power to draw another piece of steel.
01:50:16:03 – 01:50:17:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:50:17:10 – 01:50:43:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The father of this present world was playing with steel at the age of six. And he found out that one piece could draw the other piece. But the other piece couldn’t draw it. Brother Minister, they both look the same. the the, on the periodic table. They both had the same elements in.
01:50:43:07 – 01:50:44:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:50:44:03 – 01:51:00:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Take what? Make one able to draw the other one. But the other one didn’t have that power. It’s because of the molecules. When the molecules are arranged and organized, you magnetize a piece.
01:51:00:18 – 01:51:04:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You, Jesus.
01:51:04:14 – 01:51:09:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And once it’s magnetized, it can draw you. Are you following?
01:51:09:10 – 01:51:09:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:51:10:02 – 01:51:19:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It don’t have to go chase down and grab somebody. It can draw from his presence.
01:51:19:21 – 01:51:46:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
when the honorable, Louis Farrakhan said, I’m going into the streets, he went into the streets. People just start coming out. Windows start opening. That had been shut because of the violence in the street. Go read the accounts in the book Sister Linda was talking about as they wrote articles in defending Farrakhan. They just got commentary after the commentary or people, they just start coming out in the streets.
01:51:46:07 – 01:51:49:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They forgot about the murder statistics.
01:51:49:03 – 01:51:50:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So.
01:51:50:13 – 01:52:08:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Oh, and y’all, that’s what. You know, being in his 70s or 80s, it didn’t matter. They didn’t have no generation Z and all that. God is fresh in every generation.
01:52:08:28 – 01:52:34:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The value of Farrakhan’s message. That’s right. If you look at the Philadelphia Inquirer today, it shows that millennials are the largest social demographic in Philadel phia right now, the baby boomers born between 1950 and 1964, they said most of them have moved to the suburbs.
01:52:34:02 – 01:53:05:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the baby boomers haven’t been a real demographic force in this city for over a couple of decades. Not only did the baby boomers move out, but generation X have moved out. So the millennials is the highest group in the city, which means most of the people are of a certain age group. And if you can’t draw your own age group, it’s only because you ain’t magnetized.
01:53:05:10 – 01:53:06:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.
01:53:06:21 – 01:53:24:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you gotta you gotta get you gotta absorb this and the molecules have to be, come on. If they’re range. Right. Come on. The same piece of metal that did not have magnetic powers becomes magnetized.
01:53:24:12 – 01:53:26:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:53:26:06 – 01:53:45:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Filled up with the message. That’s what the Honorable Louis Farrakhan has. So when he delivers the message, the message helps rearrange the molecule of our thought processes. And that mind now is becoming more magnetized than it was before you heard him.
01:53:45:16 – 01:53:47:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:53:47:02 – 01:54:01:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t fire nobody else up until you fired up you. You can’t get nobody else excited about a message that you not excited about yourself.
01:54:01:13 – 01:54:12:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would stop many times in his delivery of the message and say, think over these things.
01:54:12:18 – 01:54:13:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what he said.
01:54:13:17 – 01:54:44:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So when you are reading the words of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, you’re reading the words of a man that has thought over these things. He’s given thought to every word that the messenger has said since the Honorable Elijah Muhammad says that if you can prove one word of what I’ve taught to be false, I’ll give you $10,000 out of my brother’s vest pocket for every word that you can.
01:54:44:07 – 01:54:47:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Find, teach.
01:54:47:03 – 01:55:19:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s a man that’s confident. Yes, sir. That he is closer to the mind of God than any other human being on this planet at the present time. That’s right. If your mind is closer to God than anyone else, can’t nobody else point out a mistake in you. If it is one day not close enough to God to see it, okay, so the Honorable Elijah Muhammad could say, If I’m not perfect, I’m perfect enough for you.
01:55:19:16 – 01:55:20:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:55:20:15 – 01:55:34:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You don’t have a level of insight and perfection to see a fault in me. The only one who can critique me is the God that taught me and made me who I am.
01:55:34:12 – 01:55:37:02
Unknown
To get to.
01:55:37:04 – 01:56:08:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he said, because some people have misread the value of the recipient of the message of God, they want to go around him, shoot their own way to the top. And by going around him down the board, Elijah Muhammad said, okay, you got the lessons, you have the Koran, you have my books, you have my articles, you have my teaching.
01:56:09:01 – 01:56:17:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if you don’t have the God that raised me behind you with all them words, you still going to fail.
01:56:17:03 – 01:56:18:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:56:18:15 – 01:56:24:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So because you if you really understood the value of my message, you would have saw this. God.
01:56:24:26 – 01:56:27:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:56:27:04 – 01:56:59:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Who’s taking over the universe and makes success only when everything that knows how to stay in this place, when you out of your place, you’re not going to succeed. And so we have made many errors according to the supreme wisdom, because we out of our place teach. so let’s look at a couple of things and close out.
01:56:59:21 – 01:57:32:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The purpose for God even given us somebody. He says, whenever a man loses the ability to read God’s will in that which is around him or her, that’s to tell you that if you lost that ability, you had it at one time, right? You you and I could read creation.
01:57:33:01 – 01:57:36:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. Yes, sir. Teacher.
01:57:36:11 – 01:58:36:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A year for every mile of the circumference of the planet Earth, which is approximately 25,000, and by 25,000 miles, an approximation and a year given to it gives you 25. And for a thousand year period, that’s 25,000 years. So a person can look at the globe. And as the Greeks drew imaginary lines of longitude and latitude, so you can pinpoint things based on the degrees, well, now we can, pinpoint from the thinking of the people just what you going to be, and we can pinpoint just what you going to do, and we can pinpoint the outcome.
01:58:36:21 – 01:58:38:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:58:38:07 – 01:59:13:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And Brother Jabril wrote about that when he when he talked about, the, the, types and the anti types and the periods of time that prophecy is somebody saw a person, somebody saw a people, somebody saw a set of circumstances culminating in two events at one time in history. And when you go read that in some ancient time in history, you can apply all that to the day that you in.
01:59:13:28 – 01:59:15:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on.
01:59:16:00 – 01:59:38:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s how these scientists were able to do this. And so when a man comes with a message that’s not part of a chain of messages that are coming from prophets themselves, then that man can put one ear on the prophecies and then one ear on our mouth. And when we open our mouth, he see just where we fit.
01:59:39:00 – 01:59:57:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because whatever, whatever kind of person you think you are, you already existed somewhere. Your behavior, your character, my behavior, my character, it existed somewhere already.
01:59:57:11 – 02:00:21:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said it. We not able to read the creation and he taught us that we were created to feed off of the, universe, which is the creation. Right? And at the root of creation is truth. As the Koran says. And he created everything with truth.
02:00:21:14 – 02:00:23:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:00:23:07 – 02:00:30:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So if that’s at the root of it, then at the root of our own mind is truth.
02:00:30:16 – 02:00:31:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
02:00:31:13 – 02:01:02:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Unless that truth has been put to sleep, he said. So when we can’t read what’s around us, then it’s incumbent upon God. Allah, out of the abundance of his love, the abundance of his mercy for humanity to raise a prophet, a messenger, an apostle, to teach us the will of God, and to give us the privilege and the opportunity to submit our will, to do the will of Allah and come into favor with God.
02:01:03:02 – 02:01:34:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s the purpose. That’s that’s the purpose of having a messenger, a prophet, prophets, messengers and apostles. He says, teach us our laws will specifically for a certain people for a certain time period. Whenever Allah sends a prophet, he gives that man a temporary message. And that temporary message is based upon an eternal message. Both messages embody the will of God.
02:01:34:22 – 02:01:36:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, we.
02:01:36:06 – 02:02:07:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So in the Holy Koran, the most important name in the Holy Quran is Allah. Yes, right. That’s the proper name of the God. And most of the sutras or chapters of the Holy Koran start off in the name of Allah, which the scholars say means with the help of Allah. Because if I’m going to read words that would say to come from a lot to his prophet, I’m going to need his help.
02:02:07:13 – 02:02:23:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, I already can’t read the creation. So I got a read a book and I got to listen to a message from a messenger. Are you following now? So I need his help to help me see his word properly.
02:02:23:11 – 02:02:27:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir. Yes.
02:02:27:05 – 02:02:43:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s value. And when you devalue it, take a look at the Muslim world. I’m. They mistreat women so bad. The ministers say it’s a wonder women even believe you.
02:02:43:24 – 02:02:47:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Think about them.
02:02:47:11 – 02:02:52:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What they’re doing to women got nothing to do with what Allah wanted for the one that’s.
02:02:52:19 – 02:02:59:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. And so.
02:02:59:24 – 02:03:21:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So after a law which is the most important name, the next most important name is Rob or Lord because I love does two things. First he creates something, then he completes it. So creating something means is not a finished product.
02:03:21:07 – 02:03:23:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what. Right.
02:03:23:13 – 02:03:30:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well how are we going to finish it. Lord does that. That’s why he takes it from a crude state.
02:03:30:13 – 02:03:32:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:03:32:06 – 02:04:12:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And stage by stage he takes it to his ultimate perfected state. And guess what? He does the message the same way over this 6000 year period, the God of this world, who is Satan, could not see the end of his world without God’s help. That’s who. Can you imagine? So when you think evil, you got an idea of what you want to achieve with it, but you really can’t see the end.
02:04:12:07 – 02:04:13:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
right.
02:04:13:17 – 02:04:35:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we’ll go back over that now, because Yakub was the wisest of his time, but he could not see the end for what he started. He rebelled. He took Islam and taught it on a luxury basis. You got some people that teach Islam on a luxury basis. Come on. We need to do this so we can make some money.
02:04:35:12 – 02:04:46:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s and we’ve, we’ve use some of the believers. I need some of the believers for what. So you can help make you some money and line your own pockets. That’s your teaching.
02:04:46:05 – 02:04:50:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Not.
02:04:50:19 – 02:05:04:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The message. He didn’t say he taught something else. He taught Islam. He just taught it on a luxury basis. And if you see what he promised everybody that joined his mosque, he said, if you follow me, I’ll get others to serve you.
02:05:04:13 – 02:05:06:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
02:05:06:06 – 02:05:28:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you don’t want to teach him and cultivate him. You want somebody else to do that. But then once they teach him how to submit and everything, then you want them so you can use them because they already have been fashion. And now all you need to do is take them and start directing them toward your assignment. And whatever your vision is.
02:05:28:27 – 02:06:05:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
the minister said prophets appeared in every nation, but their message was limited to that nation. And though their message was based upon an eternal message, their work was intended or limited to the moral upliftment of the people from among whom they were raised. You see, God had to do all this for internet. Got out because, see, if you sent a prophet and he’s only for certain people way over in Southeast Asia, and they put it on in and then it go viral.
02:06:05:16 – 02:06:21:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Will somebody over here be trying to practice from a message that’s over there? It’d be hard to limit things then. But see, we live in a time where a universal message has to be preached.
02:06:21:29 – 02:06:47:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You you’re not in a time where you can just say, this is only for us, and it ain’t for nobody else. By the time somebody tick of that and you get on TikTok and other things, whether you meant for somebody else or not, they’re going to have it. And God help you if it go viral now, it’s all corrupted and don’t even sound like, how are you following what I’m saying?
02:06:47:05 – 02:07:09:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, see, we’re in a time where the only thing you can bring is a universal message, right? So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, what I have brought you is universal. It sounds like it’s not universal because you and I, the ministers, say we gotta go through our evolutionary process.
02:07:09:22 – 02:07:22:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It starts out nationalistic, but it’s for all of humanity. One other country, the Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him. Travel to.
02:07:23:02 – 02:07:27:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
From everything I read, his life was spent on the peninsula of Arabia.
02:07:27:20 – 02:07:29:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:07:29:04 – 02:07:37:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But you say he brought a universal message. Well, somebody’s going to have to go out in the universe and teach it because he didn’t do it.
02:07:37:16 – 02:07:39:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:07:39:19 – 02:08:04:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Jesus didn’t start universal. He said he said to the disciples, no, you go and step unto the lost sheep in the house of Israel. He told them, don’t go the way of this one and that one and that. And then at a certain point he said, now go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel. He didn’t start out talking about I love everybody.
02:08:04:21 – 02:08:07:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you don’t love yourself, you can’t love everybody.
02:08:07:25 – 02:08:09:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So real talk.
02:08:09:21 – 02:08:17:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So Jesus didn’t start out like that. So don’t give us that. Jesus said, love everybody. Come on. You can’t even find that scripture.
02:08:17:21 – 02:08:20:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come.
02:08:20:12 – 02:08:33:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you don’t love yourself, you incapable of loving somebody else. And we have never been taught by the people who handled us how to love ourselves.
02:08:33:28 – 02:08:38:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Real talk.
02:08:38:15 – 02:08:47:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we have to be developed. So next to along is the word rom. We got to be develop. You can’t just jump from Negro to Muslim.
02:08:48:02 – 02:08:50:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Make more actual.
02:08:50:18 – 02:08:53:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Pray and you ain’t had no training.
02:08:53:25 – 02:09:00:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You.
02:09:00:19 – 02:09:31:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he goes on with the national growth and everything, but I want to get to Mr. Yaku and, so we can finish. Look what the minister said about him. Yaqoob did not see the completion of the evolutionary development of that which he had initiated. He started some, but he didn’t see the completion. So how was he going to see what the end would be of what he was producing?
02:09:31:08 – 02:09:38:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We had to reveal it to him. The scientists had already seen it. It’s in this 25,000 year cycle.
02:09:38:27 – 02:09:40:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:09:40:11 – 02:10:00:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we revealed it to him. It’s the book of revelations. And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, that’s really the first book of the Bible. He said, in truth, the first book is what we reveal to y’all. Cool. Right of the end of his word. Wasn’t John in Patmos, it was Yaqoob who was there.
02:10:00:27 – 02:10:06:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
To teach brother ministers.
02:10:06:23 – 02:10:39:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he he didn’t see this evolutionary development. We who followed the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he said, we may not live to see the completion of the evolutionary development of his teaching right. But our duty in every generation is to keep the law and the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad until he abrogate them. You mean he’ll abrogate his teaching of the wake up message?
02:10:40:01 – 02:10:51:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He abrogate them himself with something new? There’s a lot in that. Now. And this is where people start having difficulty with the message.
02:10:51:17 – 02:10:52:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.
02:10:52:22 – 02:10:59:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because if you’re saying the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would abrogate something himself, he can’t do that. Being dead.
02:11:00:00 – 02:11:02:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s my Lord Jesus Christ.
02:11:02:12 – 02:11:17:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right? So now there has to be another aspect of this message, right? If he’s going to abrogate something, he got to be alive here to do it right. He didn’t say he’s going to send somebody else to do that. He’s going to do that himself.
02:11:17:12 – 02:11:23:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. G0 take.
02:11:23:22 – 02:11:35:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then the minister goes on and says, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to me, do not change the teachings while I’m gone. That’s right.
02:11:35:04 – 02:11:36:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what he said.
02:11:36:02 – 02:11:43:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So what I have given you is just a wake up message.
02:11:43:04 – 02:11:44:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Okay. Listen up.
02:11:45:05 – 02:11:52:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, I said to the singles last night, you know, the minister said, we know what we look like when we went to sleep.
02:11:52:13 – 02:11:54:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Them. Right.
02:11:54:12 – 02:11:57:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, but when we get up the next day, we in the mirror.
02:11:57:15 – 02:11:59:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:11:59:13 – 02:12:03:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are you in the mirror because you forgot what you look like last night?
02:12:03:10 – 02:12:05:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Good.
02:12:05:06 – 02:12:11:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
No, he said you were in the mirror to look at. What did sleep do to me?
02:12:11:03 – 02:12:13:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Teacher? Yeah.
02:12:13:10 – 02:12:17:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He was trying to show us when we’ve been sleep for 400 years.
02:12:17:04 – 02:12:18:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Muhammad.
02:12:18:05 – 02:12:22:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This wake up message of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is a mirror of truth.
02:12:22:26 – 02:12:24:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:12:24:08 – 02:12:53:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So that when I get in it, following the teachings, believing that I cannot see creation properly without our laws, help. And if I didn’t create myself, then I’m a part of creation so I can’t see myself properly without our laws. Help. So in the mirror of truth, I’m trying to look at what does sleep do to me in America because I’m trying to wake up.
02:12:53:28 – 02:12:55:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh come on, teach another brother.
02:12:55:28 – 02:13:14:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I can’t wait for the man that put me to sleep to wake me up. Yeah, I need a message that can wake me up. Even while white supremacy is still reigning on the planet to wake. Waking up and.
02:13:14:22 – 02:13:30:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to me, don’t you change this teaching while I’m gone? Because what I have given you is just a wake up message, he said. But if you are faithful. When I return.
02:13:30:22 – 02:13:32:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on that.
02:13:32:03 – 02:13:37:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When I return. You can look for me again.
02:13:37:27 – 02:13:40:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:13:40:17 – 02:14:08:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Marcus Garvey said, look for me in the world. When he didn’t say, look for me, I’ll be back here. But he said, when the whirlwind of justice comes back on these people, I’ll be in it. That’s the right words that I have said to you. Things that I have tried to do for you. Mr. Garvey said. It’ll come back to my taste right.
02:14:08:08 – 02:14:18:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’ll be in the whirlwind because you so to win. But you’re going to reap the whirlwind. The Bible says.
02:14:18:22 – 02:14:22:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, when I return.
02:14:23:03 – 02:14:23:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:14:23:29 – 02:14:44:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I will reveal the new teachings through you. So now we can’t just talk about. It’s just this. He’s already saying from here, this the man that taught us right? Teach brother, is what Louis Farrakhan is teaching us. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, teaching us what he was taught.
02:14:44:25 – 02:14:46:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? That’s right.
02:14:46:05 – 02:15:08:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he’s thinking over what he was taught. And we’re getting all of that. And if we’re getting that, you don’t need nobody else teaching you right? Teach he already I started that where he said, When I’m finished with you, you won’t need another man to come teach you. Some of us already got other teachers out there. Well, he didn’t really mean this.
02:15:08:06 – 02:15:37:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is what he. This is what the messenger meant. To teach. Taking hmhm. But if you have faith, when I return, I will reveal this new teaching to you. He said to us. He gave me a Koran. This is what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, master for, right? Muhammad gave me a Koran. Then Yusuf Ali was finished by 1934.
02:15:37:28 – 02:15:44:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Before he left, he gave him that Koran to buy use of folly. But he said he wrote one himself.
02:15:44:29 – 02:15:47:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what he said. That’s right. That’s. Come on now.
02:15:47:28 – 02:15:51:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This book won’t be revealed till we break this man’s power.
02:15:51:16 – 02:15:55:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right, that’s right. And.
02:15:55:22 – 02:16:02:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, what about the Koran? This over here. And then they don’t go into the hereafter. They go up to the door.
02:16:02:13 – 02:16:04:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:16:04:12 – 02:16:10:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He did. Well, we should be taking that. Well, you ain’t using it now.
02:16:10:24 – 02:16:14:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on.
02:16:14:18 – 02:16:17:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
These books got to be used right now.
02:16:17:08 – 02:16:17:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
02:16:18:01 – 02:16:25:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is the time. And that is one of the things that must be done.
02:16:28:27 – 02:16:41:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Although the minister says, although I am accused by many of changing the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I just say they don’t have my mission.
02:16:42:05 – 02:16:44:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:16:44:04 – 02:17:23:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Each of the students of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad must extract all that we can from this wake up message. In 1973, when I did a broadcast on the teachings of Jesus repeating the exact words The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, of words of his, he whipped me verbally and he told me, I don’t want you to give the people the same history as I taught it 40 years ago.
02:17:23:23 – 02:17:45:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I want you to give the meaning. Think about so the minute sort of the minister said so the the picture so that we would get the picture. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us in pictures. But in the picture, the minister said, was meaning.
02:17:45:21 – 02:17:47:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, that’s right.
02:17:47:27 – 02:17:56:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is telling him, brother, I want you to go into the picture and give the people the.
02:17:56:01 – 02:17:57:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Meaning.
02:17:57:17 – 02:18:24:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Of it, because once they got the meaning and understanding, now this is a level of development. That closes the classroom, that right. You don’t need nobody else standing in front of you to teach you. Because he started out saying, each one of us as students, we got to get everything we can out of the wake up message.
02:18:24:22 – 02:18:42:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So last thing. He said, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, what more is there for another prophet to do? If you get the knowledge of self and the knowledge of God?
02:18:42:08 – 02:18:43:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:18:43:09 – 02:18:45:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What else do you want somebody to teach you?
02:18:45:22 – 02:18:46:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Good question.
02:18:46:24 – 02:19:09:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you really get the knowledge of God and the knowledge of self and who you are with God, you don’t need nobody else to teach you. And you got everything you need to get everything you want.
02:19:09:02 – 02:19:30:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then the minister says to see in the sunlight is to see from God’s perfect sight, with his perfect perception. That’s why Sister Linda was saying, we take a lost color. That’s his view. Yes, sir. His view is not a corrupted perception.
02:19:31:06 – 02:19:32:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No, sir.
02:19:32:20 – 02:19:35:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Most of us, we live by what we perceive, not what’s real.
02:19:36:00 – 02:19:40:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. Takes that.
02:19:40:11 – 02:19:51:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And there’s a there’s a Bible scripture that says with people who were making mischief, it says. And so God sent on them a strong delusion.
02:19:51:01 – 02:19:51:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:19:51:29 – 02:19:55:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To cause them to believe in a thing that was false.
02:19:55:24 – 02:19:57:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Okay. Come on.
02:19:57:24 – 02:20:30:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You want to keep rebelling against truth and reality. You want fantasy. You want to color light with darkness. Then God will send a delusion on you and cause you to believe in the thing that’s false. Not because you fell for what was false, is that you ain’t satisfied with being and was false yourself. Until you take people. That’s in the light, out of that light and bring them into the darkness.
02:20:30:21 – 02:20:40:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So God said, you know what I’m going to do for you? I’m going to I’m going to help you to become and look like to everybody else what you really are inside.
02:20:40:21 – 02:20:41:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
02:20:41:19 – 02:21:18:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And in Greek mythology, Columbus was, one of the most handsome men among all the Greeks. this is just mythology. This ain’t truth, right? And remember, Zeus said, because the evil that was in him, he was killing the flying horses of Zeus. Zeus said, my punishment on Caleb was, since he’s private for being so handsome, I’m going to cause him to take on a physical appearance to what his heart really is.
02:21:18:22 – 02:21:21:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he turned into a hideous looking thing.
02:21:21:13 – 02:21:21:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:21:22:04 – 02:21:38:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I think it was Hera was the the mother of Columbus who was one of the goddesses in there. And she was pleading for her son. But Zeus, you know, wasn’t having it. And the kingdom that he wanted to be over, he ended up being a king of the swamp land.
02:21:38:03 – 02:21:41:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He’d come up with,
02:21:41:09 – 02:21:53:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s it’s mythology. But if you look at the principle in it, eventually you take on the look of what your heart really is.
02:21:53:24 – 02:21:57:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t look handsome to people when your heart is dark.
02:21:57:09 – 02:21:58:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:21:58:11 – 02:22:31:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the messenger said, eventually the cells of your brain traveling through your body because of what your heart is, he said, it begins to show on your face what you really are inside, because thought is so powerful that it can, impress itself on matter and cause matter, to deconstruct and then reconstruct itself in accord with the nature of the thought.
02:22:31:06 – 02:22:34:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Okay, if.
02:22:34:23 – 02:22:38:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
For this wise God, you just can’t get away from him.
02:22:38:22 – 02:22:42:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
02:22:42:11 – 02:22:59:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, we do not have the tendency to make mistakes when we’re in the full light of his revelation, because we see from his view of things, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has given us great value.
02:22:59:06 – 02:22:59:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Good.
02:22:59:18 – 02:23:27:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You and his letter to us. The last one we receive is that this term is coming to an end. And when terms come to an end, you get an exam or tests. And you know how we qualify to come out of this. It’s to stay with failing. This test is not you being in the classroom saying I, I failed again.
02:23:27:28 – 02:23:38:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Can I take the tests over anybody that stays? He said, if you hear when I return, you’ve passed the test right?
02:23:38:08 – 02:23:38:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
02:23:38:26 – 02:23:50:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come on. This thing is not about who does better or worse with this is a makeup exam, brother Jabril said. The highest grade you can get is a C test.
02:23:50:15 – 02:24:00:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Don’t be prancing around here like you know. I’ve been with the professor that I was with. So so-and-so, you ain’t know A and B’s no more when I’m blew that test.
02:24:00:07 – 02:24:01:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m just like.
02:24:01:11 – 02:24:05:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, you know, you’re the student regional. You should get a a high. There is no higher grade.
02:24:06:01 – 02:24:06:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
02:24:06:10 – 02:24:17:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right is pass or fail. I ain’t no better than the man whose Savior’s letter just got accepted Friday. Okay. How many years I’ve been here, I got to stay, right?
02:24:17:14 – 02:24:19:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:24:19:14 – 02:24:29:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you don’t see yourself like that, you not lowly of heart. That’s why the work is so hard that you running from it. But the minister say, if you put my yoke on you, my yoke is easy.
02:24:29:21 – 02:24:30:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.
02:24:30:08 – 02:24:34:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
My burden is light.
02:24:34:19 – 02:24:55:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
My burden is light. He said, if you if you think on me, I’m lowly of heart. I don’t consider myself no big shot. That’s what the man is saying to us. And because of that, I don’t think I can do nothing without him.
02:24:55:08 – 02:24:56:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
02:24:56:12 – 02:24:59:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So if he’s doing it, I ain’t carrying a weight.
02:25:00:00 – 02:25:01:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
02:25:01:03 – 02:25:28:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I don’t have to run from work. I run to it and because he’s going to help me in that work. So let me close by thanking the Fruit of Islam for being with us yesterday on the Peace March. All right. Thank you so much. Praise be to Allah. People were grabbing me, shaking me man. The battle is out, you know, and the brothers were in the uniforms lined up.
02:25:28:20 – 02:25:40:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And let me just tell you, you don’t know what you did for those people yesterday. And it was by me sitting around for a couple of more hours just to see the reviews that were cut. I didn’t go solicit any.
02:25:40:05 – 02:25:41:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But.
02:25:41:12 – 02:26:02:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, some we don’t know how lost we feel out there today. Saw young men of all ages with a better mind on them than many of us are carrying at a loss out here in these streets. So all we have to do is stay with the man who gave us the message.
02:26:02:21 – 02:26:04:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. That’s right.
02:26:04:08 – 02:26:19:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Already somebody is trying to tell me y’all should come over and be with us on Hug the Block. And then I’m not hugging nothing except this teaching it. If you was doing so good with your hug, hell, you wouldn’t be calling on us.
02:26:19:08 – 02:26:19:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
02:26:19:28 – 02:26:36:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The minister had a million man march, million family march, millions more movement justice or else you want to act like none of that ever took place. You back at the drawing board trying to see how to save your life.
02:26:37:00 – 02:26:50:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Some people stuck out in space. That’s why they given that more attention than they given your children. I solemnly feel like.
02:26:50:22 – 02:27:19:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So is anybody out for the first time? Never been out with us before. We started with a little longer today, but, I definitely wanted you to hear, some people out for the first time. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. So if you’re out for your first time, maybe second or third, do you do you feel from all the speakers today, do you feel what you’re hearing is that is good for us as a people is the truth?
02:27:19:11 – 02:27:45:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Do you? Thank you so much. So much. So the most important question I can ask that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is extending an invitation to come to Islam. And I think you have some idea of how we’re understanding Islam today and how it fits into the present condition that we find ourselves in. But how many of you would like to take another step to learn more about it?
02:27:45:07 – 02:28:10:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I mean, this is this is this is a you can’t really join it. We we call this acceptance because what God has already created you week, we can’t improve on that. We’re just trying to get back to what God has already done. That’s why we’re waking up, not making up a message. this all this has been revealed.
02:28:10:27 – 02:28:52:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So if you if you if you feel that if you’ve been touched by that kind of spirit, as as his helper, I would love for you to come on and become a part of his family right here in the city of Philadelphia. and as his helper, I’d love to shake your hand for anyone that would accept today and say, I want to take a step forward and do something because the minister doesn’t know who’s touched by what God is doing in America, the only way he knows is when people come forward and then he asked us, here they are, asked me tonight, oh, brother Lance will send them and and tell them, did
02:28:52:05 – 02:29:20:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
anybody in Philadelphia want to be a part of this, of what we’re doing? And the only way he can know I can’t go and make something up. I’ll just tell him. Zero. Nobody here is interested. You know, this week. But, you know, it’s predicated on our presentation to you. And we try to do our best to explain to you, him, his message, the work that we’re involved in, what we’re trying to do with our own lives.
02:29:20:19 – 02:29:49:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
because sometimes we look small. But I can tell you, worldwide, we have grown tremendously. And believe me, if you study the scriptures, the righteous have never outnumbered the wicked. And the righteous have never been as rich as the wicked. God never gives the oppressed the same economic condition that he gives the oppressor. The oppressor always has more money.
02:29:50:01 – 02:30:13:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He always has more guns. He always has more politicians on his side. He has everything. God likes to stack the deck. And if you study his pattern and he say my way, change is not. He stacks the deck. Because if you can defeat all of that, in the end we’ll know there’s a God. It’d be no mistake about it.
02:30:13:09 – 02:30:44:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So this is your opportunity to come on up and, shake my hand. Just a little hand. A helper to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. But this is your opportunity to do that. And if not, we always invite you to continue coming out. But if you if you feel timid about coming before people and we just your family, you can always see the secretary of department, male and female, just so that they can let you know that every Monday night.
02:30:44:13 – 02:31:08:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
the men have a class here. We have an orientation class here at seven 730. the orientation class meets here. Some of us are out earlier, in the streets on Monday, and every Saturday morning at nine. They have a they have orientation class here for the women. So you’re invited out to both of those. We have a study group on Friday night.
02:31:08:06 – 02:31:31:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can always come back out on Wednesday night. We have lectures on Wednesday nights. really, focusing more community based because a document was produced from our marches in Washington called The National Agenda. These are things that we need to be doing. And voting is in there. Yes, but the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan says, because that’s that’s what black America is talking about right now.
02:31:31:02 – 02:31:57:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Black woman’s running for president. That’s the elephant in the room. And you can’t just act like it ain’t existent. And we some of us vote. Some of us have tired of voting. The minister registered to vote when Reverend Jesse Jackson took him down to register. Voting is in our book, The National Agenda. but the minister says the cornerstone of a democracy is an enlightened mind.
02:31:57:04 – 02:32:24:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s where once the mind is enlightened, meaning you know who you are, you know who your God is. You know who your people are. You know your history now, your interests, your self-interest is enlivened with a new mind. What does that do now? You know exactly what you need government to do for you. The Nick Rowe mine doesn’t know what the government is.
02:32:24:07 – 02:32:27:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, you know, we do what I’m going out to here. What they going to give us.
02:32:28:01 – 02:32:29:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
To.
02:32:29:16 – 02:32:52:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See? God has already given us everything that shows the mind is not enlivened and that the light is needed in the mind, which is the cornerstone of a democracy that’s necessary. So he shows us and what happens when you vote, when your mind got light in it, your vote got more meaning. You already know what you’re looking for.
02:32:53:01 – 02:33:16:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know what you need. You know why? Because you self-determining. You’re not dependent. Yes, but if you just dependent on somebody to give you everything, then you really don’t know how. Somebody just give me something. Just just just just anything. But once you self determine, you know, just how somebody can help. If you give me this, I can do this.
02:33:16:06 – 02:33:38:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I know because I’m trying to build something in mind. God light in it. You can’t be a destroyer of a community. When light is in your mind. You can only think about building it and you can’t build nothing as we said to the people yesterday, unless you built, we can’t. We can’t get positive change if we don’t want to change.
02:33:38:16 – 02:34:01:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you don’t have to join here to change. But you can’t stay the same and expect something better to happen. It just it that’s that’s not the formula for how God does. He helps those who help themselves. he don’t change the condition of a people today. First change themselves. you have to be found doing something, not just talking about something.
02:34:01:28 – 02:34:26:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
